Alien Knights

While Todd was busy resettling the mermaid tribe, there was a rare frenzy in Muxi City because of the arrival of new neighbors.

In the "Come Tomorrow" tavern, the guests gathered around the captain who returned from the sea, listening to the latter talking about the mermaid's peerless face and graceful figure.

"I swear to the balance of fate! Everything I say is true!" The middle-aged captain with a beard and stubble said loudly while belching: "I used to hear from my father that sailing on the sea Occasionally, I will meet mermaids. They have singing voices that can seduce people's souls and beauty that makes people unable to extricate themselves. I used to think that these are nonsense, but I went to Waiheke Island a few days ago and saw the living Mermaid, only then did I realize that the legend is true!"

A rather young scholar asked curiously, "How beautiful is a mermaid?"

The captain scratched the back of his head with his big hands, and said distressedly: "I am illiterate, and I can't learn the words of praise in the book. I just feel like my whole chest is on fire when I see the mermaid. That face, that face The figure, the breasts..."

The young scholar's blood was racing when he heard this: "Those mermaids, are they more beautiful than those elf professors in the university?"

An elderly man pushed the young scholar with his elbow, and reminded him with a serious face: "Pay attention to your words! The crusaders are servants of the dragon god, and they are not the object of your jokes!"

The young man shrank his neck and nodded slightly.

Glancing at the old man's clothes and accessories, the captain asked with some concern, "Then, will we be suspected of blasphemy by discussing mermaids like this?"

The old man stroked his gray beard, shook his head and said, "I heard that the deity of those mermaids is an ancient sea god named Krakosh... as long as it has nothing to do with the dragon god, you can say whatever you want."

Hearing this, the captain suddenly got excited: "Then I will continue. I heard that the Holy King plans to build a trading post on the island, and bring in some merchants in the city to do business with the mermaids..."

The young scholar was puzzled when he heard this: "Doing business with mermaids? They come from the sea, where can there be coins to buy goods?"

The captain rolled his eyes at the scholar: "Are you stupid in reading? Those mermaids, whether it's clothes or accessories, are all genuine pearls and seashells. If you take them out, they can fetch a lot of money in the market." !"

Scholars suddenly realized.

The captain stroked his stubble and said helplessly: "It's a pity that this kind of business must be appointed by the royal family. If you want to participate in it, it's just a dream..."

"Don't take money too seriously. After you die, these things will not follow you to heaven, nor will they have any impact on the balance of fate." The old man looked at the crowd and sighed: "Remember three What happened years ago? When mortals have money, they mistakenly think that they have the power comparable to the gods, and they try to challenge the authority of the gods. In the end, they are just inconspicuous dust."

The old man's words caused the people around him to fall into silence.

The captain groaned for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Although money is not a good thing, but without money, life is impossible to live at all. Food requires money, accommodation requires money, and ship repairs require money. Looking for a girl to relieve boredom, don't you want money?"

The old man looked the captain up and down, stroked his beard and said, "Looking at your age, I'm afraid you're not too young? Haven't married yet?"

Hearing this, the captain was a little annoyed, but considering his status as an old man, he had to lower his voice and said, "I planned to marry a wife at the beginning of the year, but after watching the mermaid, I'm not interested in seeing other women anymore."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Listen to you, do you still want to marry a mermaid back home?"

The captain opened his eyes and shouted: "What's wrong?! Isn't it rumored that some mermaids went ashore and finally formed a family with sailors?!"

Someone asked loudly: "Let's not talk about looks for now, but if you think about the mermaid, how are you going to have children?"

The captain was taken aback for a moment, and then said firmly in a low voice: "It's fine if you have feelings, a child is such a big deal to adopt one..."

The young scholar finally seized an opportunity, took the opportunity to tease the captain and said: "In my opinion, I'm afraid it's not a matter of feelings at all, you just like the face and figure of the mermaid!"

The distraught captain knocked on the table vigorously and yelled at the scholar, "What's wrong with the love of beauty! To be honest! When you were in school, didn't you ever think of marrying an elf woman for your own sake?" wife?!"

"I..." The young scholar paused for a moment, his face flushed and he was at a loss.

This appearance immediately made everyone around react, it turned out that this kid really had such thoughts.

"Young man, very courageous! Promising!"

"If you really marry an elf woman and go home, aren't you afraid that she will burn the whole house down when she gets angry?!"

"Is it Gabriel, the professor of paleontology? I like her too!"

"I've heard that elves live far longer than humans."

"Rumours that the elves seem to be only interested in academics."

Listening to people's miscellaneous discussions, the rigid old man had a dumbfounding expression on his face. He finally closed his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.

The bar owner standing behind the bar suddenly coughed twice inappropriately at this moment.

Everyone followed the sound, and the bar owner opened his eyes and turned his head to the side while wiping the glass.

It was only then that people discovered that at the innermost table in the bar, there was a human, an orc, a werewolf and...an elf...

And that beautiful elf woman in a bright red tight-fitting robe is looking over with an angry face.

The people who had gathered together all turned pale with fright, and scattered like birds and beasts.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Barbara slammed the glass on the table and said angrily: "Really! Is it so difficult to have a good drink these days?"

Randall looked at the embarrassment of everyone fleeing, shook his head and said with a smile: "This is a bar after all, and there will always be all kinds of people gathered."

The werewolf Aldenan gnawed on the chicken leg in his hand, squinted at the orc beside him, and asked, "Is the mermaid as beautiful as they say?"

Carroll raised his neck, first downed a large glass of dark beer, and then responded in a low voice: "I don't know."

"You were at the scene of Waiheke Island a few days ago, didn't you take a closer look at the group of mermaids?"

Facing the werewolf's questioning, Carroll threw a piece of shrimp cake into his mouth and shrugged: "I don't care."

"Damn... I knew you were like this, why don't I go for you..."

Randall reached out his hand to stop the quarrel between the two: "Let's talk about the business, I believe you should have heard about the matter in the village of Isaiah."

"A group of fanatics from the Church of the Heavenly Father broke into the Protestant village in the middle of the night, massacred and burned it, even the baby who was still in its infancy!" Due to anger, the light blue on Barbara's body The color tattoo began to become brighter and faster like a streamer: "You bastard who is not as good as a beast!"

Ardenan said in a low voice: "The so-called fanatics of the Church of the Heavenly Father are just the local official statement. I guess that the people who did it were the troops directly under the church."

Randall nodded: "Originally, the dispute between the Protestant Church and the Heavenly Father's Church was still above verbal criticism. Now it seems that the Heavenly Father's Church can no longer sit still. They have begun to use more despicable methods to try to intimidate and Threatening those who would like to convert to Protestantism . . . "

Barbara said in a low voice: "It is impossible for the Holy King to sit idly by for such a thing."

Randall took a long breath: "In fact, the Holy King has been looking for opportunities to attack the Church of the Heavenly Father, and this incident gave the best opportunity... Wait..."

Suddenly, the four people at the table closed their eyes at the same time.

After a few seconds of silence, the four slowly opened their eyes and looked at each other.

Barbara was the first to say: "Just now in the Kingdom of Heaven, I heard an order from the Holy King... But I heard it right, right? Three days later, there will be a battle against a member of the Crusaders." Judgment?!"
