The sudden appearance of the whales disrupted Archbishop Brandon's plan. Even though the mermaid was under the boat, he put down the specially made fishing net in his hand.
A strange aura enveloped the fleet, and the sea wind suddenly became much more violent. The sea surface was no longer calm, and there were waves. As the whales approached, the dark clouds in the distance seemed to be getting closer.
Seeing the familiar group of whales, Ma Wei had a rough guess in his mind. The Sea of Death was the territory of the whale ancestor Sesida. It was not surprising to meet him nearby.
The weird thing is.
Why did the mermaid lure them to the sea of death?
Do the mermaids know that the whale ancestor Sesida will help them?
"The Archbishop! There's something on the whale's back!"
The lookout shouted with a telescope. Everyone looked closely and vaguely saw a white shadow on the back of the whale group exposed on the sea. It was too far away to see clearly. Archbishop Brandon simply took the telescope and started observing.
"The polar elves. It's the polar elves!"
After a brief pause, Archbishop Brandon showed an expression of ecstasy, just like a treasure hunter who discovered a golden treasure.
The Polar Elves are another name for the Haigma tribe, and the Abyssal Beasts are their official name. Since the Haigma tribe mostly live in the depths of the far north sea, and are regarded as gods by the Inuit, there are Polar Elves. statement.
The Haigma tribe has a docile temperament and never actively attacks humans. In addition to controlling marine life, their blood can warm and nourish the soul and have the effect of delaying lifespan. Such magical blood has been crazily sought after by humans, but The Haigma tribe rarely appears in front of humans, and they are also legendary creatures that are rare to see.
This time.
On the back of each whale, there are several snow-white Haigma tribe. The leader, Old Haigma, stands on the back of a blue whale, holding a huge trident in his hand, which is bigger than the one held by the previous mermaid. The trident is more ornate.
When it comes to the ancient mysterious Xin, Archbishop Brandon and others do not know the origin of the Haigma Trident. Maweike knows that the master of the ocean, Asis, created three races, the Sea People, the Whale People and the Haigma. Among them, the sea people fell into civil strife and destruction because of Ahis's departure, which caused the guardian Kraken to go completely crazy and wanted to find Ahis for revenge. The whale ancestor Sesida felt the mad Kraken and started an eternal fight with him. .
As the masters of Asis' weapons, the Haigma tribe shouldered the important task of maintaining the order of the ocean after Asis disappeared. Like the whale ancestor Sesida, they intended to kill Kraken and restore calm to the ocean. .
Ma Wei did not know where Kraken was now and whether he had been killed, but the trident in the hands of old Haigma was the artifact belonging to Asis!
There were originally three gems on the trident. Two were taken away by Asis and one was left on the trident. Ma Wei had seen the power of the trident as early as two years ago.
It is no exaggeration to say that whoever controls the trident will become the master of the sea!
Ma Wei had communicated with the whale ancestor Sesida, and knew that the other party was a rational and extraordinary creature, and would not kill innocent people like Kraken, not to mention the Hagma tribe. They rarely dealt with creatures on land, and they also They do not want to interfere with matters on land. Their duty is to guard the ocean and wait for Asis's return.
Facing such a powerful opponent, the best decision is to retreat immediately. Even if you don't leave, you shouldn't be an enemy. However, Archbishop Brandon completely lost himself after seeing Haigma. To humans, the Haigma tribe It is an extraordinary creature that is more precious than a mermaid. As long as there is enough Haigma's blood and the immortality field of the health goddess Wilder, theoretically.
Eternal life can be achieved!
Compared to the Haigmar clan, the merfolk are insignificant.
All the church members who had known extraordinary creatures were breathing rapidly at this moment and could not hide the excitement in their hearts. Captain Joshua and the unknown sailors were only frightened by the sight in front of them. They did not know how precious Haigma was. , they only know that danger is approaching quickly.
"Nicholas, we are going to get rich!" Archbishop Brandon said with a trembling voice: "There are so many Haigma, at least hundreds. If we can catch them, no one can fight against the Church of the Goddess of Destiny!"
Of course Ma Wei knew how precious the Haigma clan was, and after asking himself, he also wanted the blood of the Hagma clan for research, but he was not dazzled by greed. He thought that Odin's Uld spring water failed to impress him. , not to mention the blood of the Haigma clan?
Perhaps it was precisely because he did not show greed towards the Whale Ancestor Sesida and the Haigma clan that the Whale Ancestor Sesida patiently answered his doubts. People who are carried away by greed are unreasonable, no matter what you say What, they couldn’t listen to it.
The air became icy cold, white mist appeared in the breath, the temperature dropped sharply, and tiny ice crystals began to form on the sea surface, as if the severe cold was coming.
"Archbishop Brandon, something is wrong." Captain Joshua said in a deep voice, "We should retreat."
"Withdraw? What a joke!" Archbishop Brandon glared at Joshua and threw the telescope to him: "You can see clearly! That is the polar elf Haigma! Throughout the history of the church, the Haigma discovered There won’t be more than one hand! Now there are hundreds! It’s a gift from God!”
"I don't care how precious Hagmar is."
Joshua put down the telescope and said: "I only know that danger is coming. The sea surface has surged and the temperature has dropped sharply. These are the precursors of the coming storm. There are also whales. If you see whales at sea, you should stay away as soon as possible. They are huge." Its size will topple any warship."
"We can't evacuate! There are just a few whales, what's there to be afraid of!"
Joshua shook his head, turned around, raised his arms, and ordered the sailors to turn the ship around and start returning.
On this ship, he was the captain and had the highest command authority. The sailors received the order and immediately took action. However, at this moment...
puff!
The fishing harpoon came out of his chest. Joshua slowly lowered his head and looked at the harpoon piercing his body from behind. He staggered two steps, suddenly drew his gun and turned around, aiming at Archbishop Brandon. The scar on his right face was faint. Beating, eyes full of anger.
If he were a normal person, he would have collapsed immediately after being penetrated by a harpoon. However, Joshua used his amazing willpower to resist. His finger had already squeezed the trigger. As long as he applied a little force, the bullet would hit. Archbishop Brandon in front of him.
But a few seconds later, no gunshots were fired, and Joshua slowly lowered his arms and fell to the ground, clutching his chest.
"captain!"
"Joshua!"
The sudden scene shocked everyone. Ma Wei rushed to Joshua's side, took a breath, looked at the priest on board, and roared: "Open the realm of eternal life!"
The ship's priest looked at Archbishop Brandon, and with the latter's consent, activated magic to maintain Joshua's weak vital signs.
The sailors stared at Archbishop Brandon in shock and anger, wondering why he did this.
"Joshua is a good captain, but his judgment of the situation is obviously not accurate enough." Archbishop Brandon said slowly: "I didn't want to kill him, and he won't die, but in the next period of time , it’s just that I can’t move normally, now I’m here to temporarily take over the captain’s duties, prepare the artillery, and stop returning!”
"You are simply crazy!" Ma Wei frowned and suppressed the anger in his heart: "You are making fun of everyone's lives!"
"Nicholas, you are too cautious!" Archbishop Brandon smiled: "I understand your thinking, and I also know that returning is the safest way. But what can we do without risk? If we want to get greater benefits, it is worth it. Fight! Melissa, start chanting! Others are ready to fight!"
Joshua was helped into the cabin by the sailors. Before the battle was over, Archbishop Brandon ordered that the harpoon in his body should not be pulled out, so that he could remain in an immortal coma to avoid causing trouble.
Ma Wei did not expect that Joshua did not fire. You must know that Joshua has always had a hot temper and was often unable to control his emotions, but he calmed down just now. It seems that his temperament has been sharpened a lot in the past few years and he is more calm. .
While thinking, the whales had already arrived near the fleet, but the other party did not launch an attack. Old Haigma even jumped on the deck and said: "The forbidden area ahead, ships are not allowed to enter, you should return."
Seeing this scene, Ma Wei's heart thumped, secretly thinking that something was wrong.
Although the Haigma tribe has a docile temperament, they will never take the initiative to approach humans, let alone jump onto the deck of a human ship without warning and tell them that they should return home.
It is not difficult to find out from the mermaid's actions of luring them to the vicinity of the Sea of Death. The mermaid wants to divert the trouble eastward so that the whale ancestor Sesida and the Haigma tribe can deal with the threat posed by humans, but...
No one expected that the Haigma tribe not only did not launch an attack, but also kindly reminded them.
The reason
I'm afraid it has something to do with myself.
The Whale Ancestor Saisida once sensed the aura of Asis among the Mawei people. As the gods who created themselves, the Whale Ancestor Saisida and the Haigma tribe would certainly not attack, especially the Mawei people. Everyone has seen it before. How can we help each other and fight for no reason?
Ma Wei suspected that the Haigma tribe regarded these human warships as Ma Wei's ships, so he kindly reminded them.
Faced with the sudden kindness, Archbishop Brandon was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile, bowed and said: "We were attracted by the mermaid and accidentally entered the noble territory. Please don't misunderstand us. We will leave immediately."
Old Haigma looked Archbishop Brandon up and down: "Who are you?"
"I am."
Archbishop Brandon smiled slightly, and suddenly took a step forward, hugging Old Haigma like lightning. When the other party was stunned, a harpoon came out, penetrated Old Haigma's fish tail, and nailed it to death. On the deck.
Old Hegma let out a cry of pain, and before he could resist, a fishing net covered with blades fell from the sky and wrapped around its body. The mercury blood smeared on the blades seeped into the wound, and the sound soon disappeared.
Seeing this scene, the rest of the Haigma jumped into the water and escaped. A huge blue whale hit the warship with all its strength. There was a loud bang, and the warship was almost deflected by the collision. Archbishop Brandon did not care at all. He was afraid, but instead shouted excitedly: "Don't let them go! Fire! Fire!"
Boom boom boom!
The artillery on both sides of the warship exploded loudly, and the shells hit the whale's huge body one after another. The painful whales began to dive into the water, but the harpoons and fishing nets followed closely behind. In less than half a minute, several whales that could not escape were Gema was wrapped in a fishing net and dragged onto the deck.
The mermaid, who immediately moved away from the warship after Haigma approached, saw this scene, swam quickly, accelerated under the sea, suddenly rushed out of the sea, jumped high, threw the trident in his hand in the air, and stabbed the sailor into the sea. While grabbing their legs and dragging them to the deep sea, they exposed their mouth full of fangs and looked fierce.
The war started instantly. Humans did not have the upper hand in the sea battle, and many magics could not be used. Archbishop Brandon wanted to capture them alive, which caused many demon hunters and priests on board to be helpless. In addition, there were so many mermaids that they could not be obtained for a while. Advantage, but many sailors were dragged into the sea by the mermaids.
"Blood of mercury! Pour the blood of mercury into the sea! Quick!"
Seeing more and more mermaids gathering near the warship, Archbishop Brandon's eyes lit up, and he quickly ordered the sailors to open the wooden box and drop bottles of mercury blood into the sea water. The mermaids who didn't know that mercury blood was powerful were still crazy. The offensive is launched quickly.
A mermaid that had lost all its strength floated to the surface, was caught by a fishing net, and dragged onto the deck.
"Hahaha!"
Archbishop Brandon laughed loudly. They managed to capture so many Haigma and mermaids without even using holy objects. The harvest of this trip could no longer be described as rich.
It’s really a fruitful experience!

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"
Archbishop Brandon coughed violently after taking in a breath of cold air. He looked under the boat and found that at some point, a thin layer of ice had formed on the sea surface. The temperature became even colder. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the strong wind rolled like a sharp blade. Ice ballast began to sweep across the world.
At the same time, everyone stopped what they were doing, pricked up their ears, and heard the heavy heartbeat coming from underwater.
Something is approaching rapidly!
The ice crystals quickly formed and the sea surface was frozen. Immediately afterwards, the ice layer on the sea surface in front exploded. A sperm whale as huge as a hill leaped high and flew over everyone's heads. Wherever it passed, the sailors were instantly frozen. .
Saint Melissa had finished singing, and slowly closed her eyes. An illusory door appeared above her head. The door suddenly opened, and a white jade foot stepped out and embraced Melissa below.
"dad!"
Yunia held Mavey's hand like lightning, and at that moment the cold spread. Archbishop Brandon, the second prince Shukri, and the demon hunter all turned into ice men. Mavey shivered and felt as if Falling into the polar ice cave, a crushing cold air eroded crazily from the outside in.
The power that Yunia had absorbed into her body resisted the cold air. Even so, Mavi's hair and eyelashes were covered with a layer of frost. His face was pale, and he looked at Levin and Daniel beside him.
Daniel had frozen into an ice sculpture, still maintaining a horrified expression as he stepped back half a step and looked up at the sky. Levin did nothing, just froze in place, looking around blankly, with a blank look on his face.
Also resisting the cold was Saint Melissa. In order not to be discovered by her, Mavey quickly pulled Levin and Yunia into the cabin and hid to observe the situation outside.
Melissa raised her indifferent eyes and looked at the whale Ancestor Sesida who had fallen into the sea in the distance. She ignored Archbishop Brandon and others who were frozen into ice sculptures. At this moment, her body was already occupied by the goddess of sin, Tilde. .
"This chill."
Tilde pinched an ice crystal that fell from the sky, crushed it gently, narrowed her eyes and said:
"What is your relationship with the Frost Giants?"
