Alien Knights

Chapter 553: Spouse selection theory of face value

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

In the tavern again tomorrow, the guests gathered around the captain who had returned from sea, listening to the latter talking about the peerless appearance and graceful appearance of a mermaid.

"Swear to the balance of destiny! What I said is true!" The middle-aged captain with a handful of scumbags burped wine and said loudly: "I used to hear my father say that sailing on the sea. Occasionally I encounter mermaids. They have a charming singing voice and a 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 lively ones. The mermaid knows that the legend is true!"

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

The captain grabbed the back of his head with his big hand, and said distressedly: "I can't read, I can't learn those compliments in the book. I just saw the mermaid and felt the whole chest burned by fire. That face, that Body, that breast..."

The young scholar listened with enthusiasm: "Those mermaids, are they better-looking than those elven professors in the university?"

An elderly old man pushed the young scholar with his elbow, and reminded with a serious face: "Pay attention to your words! The Holy Cleric Army is the servant of the Dragon God, not the object of your joke!"

The young man shrank his neck and nodded lightly.

Looking at the old man's clothes and accessories, the captain asked with some worry: "Then if we discuss mermaids like this, will we be suspicion of blasphemy?"

The old man touched his gray beard, shook his head and said, "I heard that the **** of those mermaids is an ancient ocean **** named Krakosh...As long as it has nothing to do with the dragon god, you can say anything."

Hearing this, the captain suddenly became excited: "Then I will continue. I heard that the Saint King intends to build a trading post on the island to introduce some merchants in the city and conduct business with the mermaids..."

The young scholar was puzzled: "Doing business with mermaids? They come from the ocean. Where do they have coins to buy goods?"

The captain cast his eyes to the scholar: "Are you stupid reading? Those mermaids, whether it's clothes or accessories, are genuine pearls and seashells. Just take them out and sell them for a lot of money in the market. !"

The scholar suddenly realized.

The captain touched the scum, and said helplessly: "Unfortunately, this kind of business must be designated by the royal family. I want to participate in it, but it's just a dream..."

"Don't take money too seriously, these things won't follow you to heaven after you die, and won't have any impact on the balance of fate." The old man looked at the crowd of onlookers and sighed: "Remember three What happened a year ago? When mortals have money, they mistakenly believe that they have power comparable to gods, and try to challenge the authority of gods. In the end, they are nothing but unremarkable dust."

The words of the old man silenced the people around him.

The captain hummed for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Although money is not a good thing, if you don't have money, you can't live your life at all. You need money for meals, money for accommodation, and money for ship repairs. Isn't it asking for money if you find a girl to relieve your boredom?"

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

Hearing this, the captain was a bit annoyed, but considering the identity of the old man, he had to lower his voice and said, "I planned to marry a wife at the beginning of the year, but after seeing the mermaid today, I look boring at other women. "

Someone in the crowd roared, "Listening to you, do you still want to marry a mermaid and go home?"

The captain widened his eyes and shouted: "What's wrong?! Isn't it rumored that someone came ashore and finally formed a family with a sailor?!"

Someone asked loudly: "Let’s not talk about looks first, but if you think about what a mermaid looks like, how do you plan to have children?"

The captain was taken aback, and then he whispered hard: "It's all right if you have feelings. It's a big deal to adopt a child like this..."

The young scholar finally caught a chance and took the opportunity to make fun of the captain: "In my opinion, I am afraid it is not a question of emotion at all, you just have a fancy mermaid's face and body!"

The frustrated captain, knocking on the table hard, shouted at the scholar without a word: "What's wrong with the love of beauty! Honestly! When you were in school, didn't you ever think about marrying an elf girl? wife?!"

"I..." The young scholar was speechless for a moment, his face flushed, and his hands were at a loss.

This appearance immediately made everyone around him react, and it turned out that this kid really had this thought.

"Young man, very courageous! Promising!"

"If you really marry an elf woman and go home, you won't be afraid of burning the whole house when she gets angry?!"

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

"I heard that the life span of elves is much longer than that of humans."

"The rumored elves seem to be only interested in academics."

Hearing people's mixed discussions, the stereotyped old man showed a dumbfounding look on his face. Finally, he simply closed his eyes and pretended that he could not hear anything.

The bar owner standing behind the bar suddenly coughed twice in an untimely manner.

Everyone followed the sound, the bar owner was wiping the glass wine glass while opening his eyes and tilting his head to his side.

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

And the beautiful elf woman in a red tights robe was looking over with an angry face.

The crowds who had gathered together were so scared that their faces became earthy, and they suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts.

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

Randall looked at the embarrassment of everyone when they fled, shook his head and smiled: "After all, this is a bar, and there are always all kinds of people gathered."

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

Carol raised his neck, first poured a large glass of dark beer, and then replied with an urn sound: "I don't know~lightnovelpub.net~ You were on the scene at Waiheke Island a few days ago. Didn't you take a closer look? That group of mermaids?"

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

"I rely on... if I knew you were like this, I might as well go for you..."

Randall reached out his hand to stop the quarrel between the two of them: "Say the business, I believe you have all heard of the affairs of Aisai Village."

"A group of fanatics from the Heavenly Father's Church broke into the Protestant village in the middle of the night, massacred and burned it there, not even the baby still in the swaddle!" Barbara's body was pale blue because of anger. The color tattoo began to shine brighter and brighter like a streamer, faster and faster: "Beastly bastard!"

Aldenan said in a low voice: "The so-called fanatics of the Heavenly Father Church are just the local official statement. I guess the people who do it are the direct troops of the church."

Randall nodded: "The original dispute between the Protestant Church and the Heavenly Father's Church still lingered on verbal criticism. Now it seems that the Heavenly Father Church can no longer sit still. Threatening those who want to convert to Protestantism..."

Barbara whispered: "The Saint King cannot just ignore such a thing."

Randall sighed: "In fact, the Holy King has been looking for opportunities to attack the Heavenly Father Church, and this incident gave the best opportunity...wait..."

Suddenly, the four people at the table closed their eyes together.

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

Barbara was the first to speak: "In the kingdom of heaven, I heard the decree from the Holy King...but I heard it right? Three days later, there will be a battle against a member of the Holy Order. Trial?!"
