Chapter 295 The Imprisoned Mermaid (14)
Chapter 295 The Imprisoned Mermaid (14)
Molly didn't even think about reasoning with Reg and straightening out his completely distorted ideology and morality.
The prerequisite for trying to awaken a person's conscience is that the person must have a conscience.
It is better to expect a pirate to grow wings and fly out of the cabin than to expect her to have noble character.
Unable to reach an agreement, Molly was too lazy to waste any more words and turned her head to the bottom of the tank.
Reg was a little dissatisfied with this refusal to talk.
Could it be that this little mermaid has no other thoughts in her mind except wanting to escape, and has no other topics to talk to him about?
Reg narrowed his eyes and said, "Little mermaid, don't you have anything else to say to me?"
Molly ignored him, so Reg said to himself, "Do you want to go to the land?"
"My fiefdom is right by the sea. The sea there is crystal clear. You will definitely like it."
Molly turned her head to look at him, then surfaced and asked, "Why? You're going to put me in?"
Reg smiled, "No, but I can build you a pool and fill it with fresh sea water."
Molly: "...Go to hell!"
...
The next morning, Reg walked into the cabin and said to Mark, "Change the route and return!"
Mark also wanted to go home, but thinking of the ghost ship, Mark asked: "Sir, aren't you going to look for the ghost ship?"
"The ghost ship is on the bottom of the sea, we can't find it."
Mark was just about to ask the captain how he knew the ghost ship was at the bottom of the sea, but soon he thought of the mermaid.
It's very likely that the mermaid told the captain.
Mark was a little disappointed. This year seemed to be wasted.
But when he thought that other people couldn't find the ghost ship either, Mark felt a little better.
After breakfast, Mark found the navigator and asked him to change the ship's route.
When the other crew members heard that they were about to return, they were very happy.
Although they did not find the legendary ghost ship, they intercepted several merchant ships, so it was not a complete failure.
Everyone was happy to get together and chat while completing their daily work.
"Oh! What could be more exciting than going home?"
"Great! When I get home, I'm going to the White Horse for a rum punch!"
"I think you're going to the tavern to look for your old lover!"
"Hey, old man, we haven't seen each other for a year. What if she's already married... I mean, we haven't seen each other for a year, you know."
"Is she the only woman in this world?"
"I don't know what the price of gin is now."
"Hey, man! You've looted so many merchant ships, but your stolen money can't even cover the cost of a drink?"
"Even a cheapskate like Bud, who shaved an egg with a razor, was willing to pay a high price for alcohol."
"What did you say? Shut up! Be careful or I'll shave off the few remaining hairs on your head! You'll look like a clean-cut winter melon!"
The men on the boat would get together and chat when they had nothing to do, and the topics would always be the same.
In addition to some maritime legends, older sailors love to tell rookies about their life experiences, how many women they have had, and how many thrilling events they have experienced.
Among them, young guys like to listen to those dirty jokes that make their noses bleed the most.
"Newbies, don't just focus on yourselves when it comes to women!" the old sailor said. "Only inexperienced newbies like you can't win the favor of women."
...
Mark stood behind Reg and heard the men talking loudly on the deck outside the house. Cold sweat was about to flow from his forehead.
Although Reg did not explicitly forbid these, he never participated in discussions on such topics.
It seems that the news of returning home made them too excited.
In the past, these sailors only talked about such things while having dinner and drinking at night, but now they dare to chat about these trivial things while working during the day.
And he was even spotted by the captain!!
Mark's heart was pounding, fearing that Reg would get angry and throw everyone into the sea to feed the sharks.
"Sir, I'm going to make them shut up right now!"
After saying this, Mark was about to rush out and teach these ignorant guys a lesson.
Reg glanced at Mark, and the leg that Mark had stepped out stopped in mid-air.
"Let them talk."
...
"Women like gentle and strong men, and they like men to give them expensive gifts, such as feather hats, pearl necklaces, and gemstone rings."
"After giving gifts, give a few deep kisses. What kind of woman can't resist it?"
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
Seeing that their conversation was becoming more and more erotic and explicit, and no one was trying to stop them, they became even more unbridled and showed no signs of stopping.
Mark stood in the dark with Reg in fear, eavesdropping and observing the captain's expression out of the corner of his eye.
There was no expression on Reg's face, and Mark couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Mark has been serving as Reg's second-in-command for many years. He was originally just an insignificant figure in the Royal Knights, but when he heard that Prince Reg was going to form a naval fleet, he took the initiative to sign up.
Originally, he just wanted to change the environment, but he didn't expect that as the years passed, Mark was the only one left among those who had followed Reg to conquer the ocean.
After so many years of getting along, Mark didn't say how well he knew Reg, but he could see clearly that Reg was not someone who was interested in women.
This distinguished prince has never been to any tavern and has never approached any woman.
Even when he was still a minor prince, he killed a maid who tried to seduce him in public.
After his reputation for cruelty and ruthlessness spread, no woman dared to approach him.
It was this person who was eavesdropping on these sailors talking about those obscene topics.
Mark was so nervous that he didn't dare to say a word.
Did the adults want to see how long these people would talk, and then tie them up with ropes and throw them into the sea to see how long they would stay there?
Mark didn't know, but Mark was very nervous.
Listening to the heated discussion outside, Reg was lost in thought.
He ignored Mark who was trembling with fear behind him and turned away.
When Mark saw Reg leave, he immediately rushed to the group of desperate guys, scolded them and told them not to discuss such topics anymore.
Reg returned to the second deck and stood on the deck to feed Odin a few fish before going into the bedroom.
Molly was lying at the bottom of the fish tank, resting with her eyes closed. When she heard Reg's movements, she surfaced and asked, "Is there any mint?"
Reg raised an eyebrow: "Mermaids also eat mint?"
Molly deadpanned, "I need my teeth cleaned."
Nowadays, people don’t pay much attention to oral hygiene. Some people who are particular about it will chew aromatic plants such as mint to freshen their breath, while others will rinse their mouths with diluted vinegar or wine, believing that this can remove bad odors.
Mermaids keep their teeth clean by chewing a kind of water plant.
