While Maple and Barbosajack were looking for the Holy Grail aboard the Santiago, Blackbeard's party continued to move forward.

Blackbeard is running out of time.

According to the prophecy, he had a maximum of 24 hours to spare.

Therefore, he must be as soon as possible, without a moment's delay.

Angelica followed behind Blackbeard, all she could think of was Jack jumping for her.

She's been worried about Jack's well-being to the point where she's a little distracted.

The missionary still followed the crystal coffin, and after the mermaid got a little crack, her expression was not as uncomfortable as before, but being trapped in such a small crystal coffin, let alone a fish, would also feel very depressed.

It was getting dark, and the boatswain urged the team to move quickly.

The four pirate sailors carrying the crystal coffin were obviously physically exhausted, and when they passed through a rugged mountain and rock path, one of the pirate sailors broke his ankle and fell to the ground, and the crystal coffin immediately smashed on the hard rock.

The crystal coffin cracked, and the mermaid fell out of the crystal coffin.

When her tail touched the earth, the colorful tail turned into a pair of slender and white legs.

The mermaid trembled and hugged her legs.

And the surrounding pirate sailors all looked at the stunner in this world in amazement.

After looking at it for a while, the missionary quickly took off his shirt and helped the mermaid wrap her body.

At this time, it was early summer, and the temperature in the mountains and forests was still very low, and the mermaid was cold all over, shivering constantly.

The missionary was eager to hold the mermaid and warm her with his own body heat.

But...... After all, there is a difference between men and women, and he is still a missionary.

Angelica saw that the mermaid had changed her legs, and couldn't help but say in admiration: "It's amazing, the mermaid can actually turn its tail into legs." However, when I was very young, I heard a story about a mermaid who fell in love with a prince, and in order to be with this prince, the mermaid drank a bottle of magic medicine, which allowed her to grow legs, but she lost the ability to speak, and I don't know if this mermaid can speak. ”

The mermaid glared at Angelica very proudly, "We...... Mermaids, are more human than you...... More intelligent creatures! ”

Angelica shrugged, "It turns out that she can still speak, so it seems that the fairy tales I listened to when I was a child are not reliable." ”

Blackbeard smiled faintly: "No, that fairy tale is still very reliable, the hometown of the mermaid is Atlantis, and Atlantis is the heyday of human civilization, and then Atlantis sank, most of the inhabitants died, but there is still a small group of elites who gradually evolved into the mermaid race." In the eyes of the mermaids, we are indeed barbarians. The big mermaids in the fairy tales were probably worried that after the little mermaid went to human society, they would talk nonsense and reveal the secrets of Atlantis and the mermaid, so they lied to her that they needed to take dumb medicine to conjure their legs. ”

Angelica was surprised and said, "Dad, are you sure?" Why is it that the story I hear is different from yours? ”

Blackbeard sneered: "I'm not sure, but if I were the Lord of Atlantis, I would definitely do it, and I wouldn't give the secret of my race to an unrequited idiot." ”

"But ...... fairy tale"

"The so-called fairy tales are not for children, but for adults." Blackbeard said, "Fairy tales are just a very obscure story, and you need to use your brain to realize the evil of this world. ”

The missionary said coldly, "Blackbeard, because your heart is full of evil, that's why you see everything as evil. ”

Blackbeard said coldly, "No, missionary, the world itself is evil, I just see it better than you. ”

After saying that, Blackbeard said to the mermaid in a cold voice, "Since you have legs, then you can go by yourself." ”

The mermaid struggled to her feet, her whole body trembled, and her legs were like the legs of a newborn fawn, without any strength.

After only taking a small step, the mermaid fell to the ground weakly, and the shirt she was wearing slipped off, revealing a piece of white flowers.

The pirate sailors showed no mercy, but whistled with their eyebrows.

Anger rose in the missionary's heart, and he exclaimed, "Are you all men? ”

He quickly walked up, picked up his shirt, and put it back on the mermaid's body.

The mermaid said bitterly, "I...... Can't walk. ”

Although mermaids can conjure up legs, they are creatures that live in the ocean, and they use tails, and they have never walked upright on their legs.

Blackbeard said indifferently: "If you can't walk, then you can only die." ”

The boatswain of the resurrected corpse next to him immediately pulled out a sharp machete and put it on the mermaid's neck.

The missionary hurriedly said, "Let me come." ”

He whispered to the mermaid, "Hook me by the neck, and I'll carry you away." ”

The mermaid trembled in disgust and said, "I don't want it!" ”

The missionary said in a deep voice, "No, you do! At this time, only I can help you, you have to trust me. ”

The mermaid looked at the pirates around her who were grinning at her, then at the missionaries with sincere eyes, and finally reached out and hooked the missionary's neck.

The missionary then picked up the mermaid and said coldly to Blackbeard, "Aren't you in a hurry? Let's go. ”

Blackbeard smiled: "You are alone, can you afford to eat?" ”

The missionary said coldly, "You don't have to worry about it. ”

Blackbeard smiled, "Okay, let's go." ”

The procession continued in the direction of the Fountain of Youth, and the missionary followed the group with the mermaid in his arms, and two resurrected boatswain stood by his side to prevent him from running away with the mermaid in his arms.

This missionary was not a pirate in the first place, and he did all civilian things, so it stands to reason that it would be difficult for him to carry a woman to keep up with the team.

But for some reason, when he picked up the mermaid, his whole body was full of strength and he didn't feel tired at all.

In this way, they walked more than a dozen kilometers in the mountains and swamps, until they came to a big tree, and Angelica said loudly: "Take a break here!" ”

The pirate sailors breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, drinking water and beating their legs.

The missionary also put the mermaid on a relatively clean stone slab, and then looked at the mermaid in amazement.

"You're so beautiful." The missionary exclaimed, "You must be an angel created by God's own hands, and your beauty is better than everything in this world, but it's a pity ......."

The missionary sighed and reluctantly looked away from the mermaid, "The more beautiful, the deadlier." ”
