The huge cage and the tunnel are formed as a whole, and they are covered by a black curtain, like the roar of a wild beast, and people shudder to hear.

Archbishop Brandon walked up to the cage and waved his arm: "Open the door!" ”

The witcher in charge of guarding the cage saw that it was Archbishop Brandon, and quickly lifted the black curtain, took out the key and opened the huge door lock, according to Ma Wei's observation, this cage should only have one exit, and then it is under London, and there is only one way to leave.

Crunch.... Crunch....

The heavy iron door slowly opened, and a fishy stench like the smell of a beast came to his face, and Mavi frowned, took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and walked in after Archbishop Brandon.

The ground is wet, the Parliament building sits on the banks of the River Thames, and the Yindian Church is not far from the River Thames, causing the tunnel to be damp all year round and emit an unpleasant muddy smell.

Archbishop Brandon changed the ring again, put on a gold ring, and when the magic flowed in, he clapped his hands together, only to hear the sound of 'pop' twice, and set it on the top of the cage, and the moonstone used for illumination suddenly burst out with a dazzling and cold white light, and in an instant, the entire cage was illuminated.

This is a giant cage with five floors up and down, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate has hollowed out the ground, and the height of a five-story house is all opened, and the iron cages are stacked on top of each other, like stacked towers, and like rectangular building blocks, one after the other, spreading forward, I don't know how deep, and I don't know how many transcendent creatures are imprisoned.

Each iron door has a nameplate with information about the transcendent creatures who are being imprisoned, the Sun Wolf Clan, the Phosphorus Fire Horse, the Night Demon.... Countless extraordinary creatures with violent temperaments and difficult to catch appeared in front of Ma Wei's eyes, and the demon spirit wooden box in his arms continued to vibrate, as if sensing the majestic convergence of magical power.

Many of the iron prisons are still empty, and the iron prisons containing supernatural creatures are only a hundred or ten full, and the vacancy rate is 90% compared to the underground cages with thousands of cells.

"In the beginning, we underestimated how tricky these otherworldly creatures were." Archbishop Brandon walked to an iron prison and lifted the black cloth that covered it, revealing an illusory and floating footless monster, draped in a tattered black cloak, wandering to and fro in the iron prison, looking anxious, with the occasional jaw as withered as the bark of a tree.

"Daredevil.... Nicholas, have you heard of it? ”

"A transcendent creature that will enter a dream realm and eat away at the mind." Ma Wei nodded, indicating that he had heard of it: "In the daytime, when there is sunlight, the night demon clan will parasitize in the body of living beings, and they will only go out when night falls, they can burrow into the bodies of other creatures, induce each other to fall asleep, and secretly suck each other's soul power.... The undead who belong to the subordinate sequence of the undead are the condensation of resentful spirits after the death of living beings. ”

Archbishop Brandon was surprised: "You really know it, it seems that you should have come into contact with similar texts, that's right, the Night Demon Clan is a branch of the Undead Clan, this transcendent creature is extremely difficult to catch, they will lurk in the human body, extremely hidden, it is difficult to be discovered, even if it is discovered, the commonly used physical means are ineffective against it..."

As he spoke, Archbishop Brandon suddenly grinned: "As I said earlier, the church underestimated the difficulty of these extraordinary creatures, this cage was built more than a year ago, and it was only completed a month ago, but until a month ago, the living extraordinary creatures captured by the church were no more than 20 when they were full..."

"Otherworldly beings with independent minds are not ordinary beasts." "They are more cunning than beasts, more powerful than beasts, and at the same time have strong self-esteem and arrogant temperament, and it is much easier to kill them than to capture them alive," Mavi said. ”

"Yes." Archbishop Brandon said, "Many times, these transcendent creatures who are in such a desperate situation will fight with the witchers to break the net, and we would rather die than be captured alive, and we can often only get their corpses, but all this was rewritten a month ago!" ”

Archbishop Brandon looked at the night demon in the cage with fiery eyes, and said excitedly: "Mercury blood! We've found a potion to restrain these otherworldly creatures! It's the mercury blood you brought with you, Nicholas! ”

"The blood of mercury has a natural restraint against these otherworldly beings! Relying on the blood of mercury, the Church captured hundreds of transcendent creatures in the space of a month! ”

Yunia was curious at this time: "Dad said that the blood of mercury does not work on the transcendent creatures of the pure soul body, this night demon is the undead clan, belongs to the pure soul body, can the blood of mercury work?" ”

"That's the characteristics of the Daredevils!" Archbishop Brandon patiently explained: "The Daredevil are very extraordinary creatures, they cannot survive on their own, they must parasitize on the creatures, we only need to inject the blood of mercury into the body of the possessed creature, and we can affect it!" ”

Inside the iron prison where the Night Demon was imprisoned, there was also a small cage, and in the cage was a fat rat the size of a palm, but this mouse had a white beard, curled up in the corner and did not move, apparently at the end of its life.

"Under this underground cage, the church has set up a giant forbidden magic array, as long as you come here, you can't leave through magic, you can only rely on physical means." Archbishop Brandon smiled, "However, we will regularly inject these otherworldly creatures with mercury blood to make sure they don't have enough strength to escape from prison!" ”

The giant cage is located in London, just a few hundred meters from St. Paul's Cathedral, next to the Witcher's headquarters, and if the supernatural creatures escape from prison, the Witchers will respond and recapture them in the first place.

"They are all the property of the Church!" Archbishop Brandon exclaimed: "There are always collectors who like to hunt for curiosities, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy live transcendent creatures to watch at home, which is one of the ways for the church to make profits, and in the future we plan to incubate and domesticate these transcendent creatures, and strive to make them less irritable and cultivate them into pets of the upper class!" ”

In the face of Ma Wei, who has become a potion dealer in the Church, Archbishop Brandon does not hide the secrets of the Church's business, these things should be told to Ma Wei, if he does not make it clear, how can he cooperate with other kingdoms in the future?

It was the Archbishop of Camburet who doubted Marvey's identity, and Archbishop Brandon was convinced of his own judgment, and he was sure that Mavey was not a spy sent by other churches!

The incubation and domestication of transcendent creatures is a means that human beings have always used well, and in the long river of the times, human beings have domesticated and incubated too many species, and now they are eyeing transcendent creatures.

Transcendent creatures are naturally powerful, under the same circumstances, human beings are definitely not the opponents of transcendent creatures, Ma Wei does not think that domesticating transcendent creatures is a good idea, first of all, transcendent creatures have independent thoughts, and the existence of independent minds is difficult to figure out, and secondly, transcendent creatures are like a time bomb, maybe one day it will explode and hurt the innocent.

It's like domesticating a black bear, even if it is raised since childhood, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not become ferocious one day.

Genes engraved in the bones are hard to change.

It is better to block than to be sparse, and Ma Wei led the Truth Church to adopt a policy of naturalization, not forced slavery.

But then again....

Slavery was invented by these elites, and the United States of Citi next door has not yet gotten rid of slavery and the plantation economy!

"For disobedient wolves, we must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving only the obedient dogs!" Archbishop Brandon and Mavi walked around the huge cage, observing the transcendent creatures who were imprisoned: "If it is violent, we will kill it and turn it into potion material, and if it is weak, we will leave it behind, breed it, and then cultivate the newly born transcendent creatures separately, and instill in them the idea of obedience to humans, and over time, we will definitely get obedient and obedient transcendent creatures!" ”

"But isn't this a slave?" Yunia frowned: "Slavery has been abolished a long time ago!" ”

"Human slaves, of course we abolished." Archbishop Brandon looked at her a little strangely: "Extraordinary creatures are not humans, they are no different from beasts!" Humans can use horses as mounts, and they can also domesticate them! I don't think they're slaves, they're pets and domestic animals at best! Can't compare to people! ”

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and even the idea of human supremacy is the policy implemented by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is composed of human beings, and it is normal to take human beings as the core.

But this does not mean that Ma Wei will regard extraordinary creatures with independent thoughts as domestic animals and pets, in Ma Wei's eyes, any existence with feelings, independent thoughts, and a sense of honor and disgrace can be called 'human'.

Yunia, who has been nurtured by Mavi for a long time, did not agree with Archbishop Brandon's remarks, but she didn't say much, and it made no sense to continue arguing, but it was easy to expose.

"Nicholas, how much do you think a Sun Wolf can sell for?"

Archbishop Brandon stopped in front of an iron prison and lifted the black cloth that covered the cage, which contained a dirty maternal werewolf.

"This...."

Ma Wei couldn't give an answer for a while, he didn't understand the market and cost at all, isn't it nonsense to come when he opens his mouth?

"The price given by the church is 500 gold pounds!" Archbishop Brandon said: "In order to capture it, the Church paid the price of two bottles of mercury blood, plus manpower and material resources and other miscellaneous matters, the cost was probably about 120 gold pounds.... Although werewolves are ugly and covered in hair, there are always some customers who like this.... Don't get me wrong about Nicholas, the goddess is above, I definitely don't have this fetish. ”

"I can understand the psychology of hunting, but if you sleep with a female werewolf, aren't you afraid of being counterattacked?" Ma Wei was shocked by the buyer's idea, although he had seen similar things before, he was still surprised when he saw it.

"I don't know."

Archbishop Brandon shrugged his shoulders: "When buying a living transcendent creature in the church, we usually come with a bottle of mercury blood, and teach the buyer how to use the mercury blood, the Sun Wolf Clan will become a human during the day, maybe the buyer wants to experience it?" ”

"But if you do it in the weakest day of the Sun Wolf Clan, what is the difference between it and ordinary humans?"

“........”

Archbishop Brandon couldn't answer that question, he really didn't know.

"Nicholas, I'm bringing you here today to get Manstein Potions to do the same business." Archbishop Brandon put the question behind him.

"Buying and selling supernatural creatures?"

"Yes." Archbishop Brandon nodded heavily: "This business can be called a huge profit, of course, it is certainly not as profitable as selling potions, but who would be afraid of more money?" You're right? ”

"Hmm...."

After thinking for a moment, Mavi spoke, "I don't think it's better to start this business at Manstein Potions. ”

"Why?" Archbishop Brandon looked puzzled: "Don't you want to make money, Nicholas?" ”

"It's because I want to make money that I don't want to get involved in this business."

Ma Wei said with a serious expression: "Many channels of the Manstein Potions Company are traded through fixed connectors, and some of these connectors have contact with transcendent beings, to put it simply, the reason why I was able to get so many rare potions materials is because of the help of transcendent creatures!" I give them the supplies they need, they give me the materials, it's as simple as that! ”

"What would these otherworldly beings think if the news that Manstein Potions had started trading in supernatural creatures was found out? Will you still cooperate with our company? If the channel is broken, how can you make money? ”

"Archbishop, as you just said, the profits from buying and selling transcendent creatures are far less than dealing in potions! Demand determines the market! ”

If the transcendent creatures are compared to pets, then potions are medicines, and although the pet market is huge, compared with the pharmaceutical market, it is a small thing after all.

Take 10,000 steps back, compare sleeping toast to cigarettes, and the annual market net profit of cigarettes is far more than that of the pet market?

Ma Wei would definitely not do such a stupid thing as picking up sesame seeds and throwing watermelons, not to mention that he did not approve of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny buying and selling transcendent creatures, and he didn't want to participate in it at all.

This is not only to protect one's own bottom line, but also to protect the image of the Church of Truth in the minds of the Serpent Race, the Tree Race, the Blood Race and other transcendent races.

The trust that had been built up so hard was not to be allowed to collapse in one fell swoop.

"Well, since you're determined to do so, I can't force you."

Archbishop Brandon was slightly disappointed when the proposal was rejected, but he quickly cheered up: "Let the church run its own business when it comes to buying and selling supernatural creatures, and the Manstein Potions Company still specializes in potions according to the previous policy." ”

"At the regular session of the Diet in two days' time, the Church and the Kingdom are going to discuss the first phase of the Potions, and the Pope told me to let you join us."

"Me?"

"That's right, you are now a potion dealer of the church, many policies, we don't know if they will affect you, in order to avoid misunderstandings, you also come to participate in the formulation of the law, and strive for favorable terms for the company, so that it is foolproof!"
