Chapter 750 – Black Sea Tree Source and Red Sea Tree Source
Chapter 750 – Black Sea Tree Source and Red Sea Tree Source
Bestana originally wanted to sell her words, but who knew that under the influence of the Death Witch’s diary, she couldn’t help but tell the answer first before saying the words that went in circles later.
It made it seem as if she was mentally deranged.
Saul naturally knew what Bestana was depressed about.
The black book page’s question-and-answer function was definitely unbearable for a proud third-ranked sorcerer.
This was also the reason why Bestana was eager to disengage.
Even within the black book pages, she didn’t have to worry in the slightest about her soul suffering from contamination.
Without poking at her embarrassment, Saul turned to ask, “I don’t know much about the Black Sea Tree Source, I just heard that the Ruling Court side has been tracking it down. Does it have anything to do with the Red Sea Tree Source that was planted over at Nefret?”
By now, Bestana had already reorganized her emotions.
[Actually, both the Black Sea Tree Source and the Red Sea Tree Source are new products derived from the transformation of the Inverted Tree.]
Surprisingly, both are related to the Tree of Inversion?
[Because the Tree of Inversion’s sense of autonomy is too strong. Even within a certain range, only one plant can survive, that’s why the Court of Judgment didn’t take away the Tree of Inversions back then after realizing this point. But I took the initiative to split the Tree of Inversions in order to keep it for them to research new species.]
[At that time, the royal family of Nefret’s Neverwinter Empire researched the Black Sea Tree Source first. And the Judgment Court’s side researched the Red Sea Tree Source.]]
[The Black Sea Tree Source is more like the Inverted Tree, with a strong sense of independence, though it doesn’t rebel against its master. And it has a strong ability to absorb and dispose of pollution.]
[The Red Sea Tree Source is more in line with the Judgment Court. It has almost no sense of autonomy and can be planted and cultivated at will. But while it can absorb pollution as well, it is nevertheless less efficient than the Black Sea Tree, and it is also unable to process it autonomously. After absorbing it to a certain extent, it will discharge the pollution centrally.]]
“These two types of trees have obviously different focuses, but they should be able to be applied in different scenarios.” Sol stroked his chin, “Then why would the owner of the Black Sea Tree source be hunted down by the Judgment Court?”
Justin, who had given the Black Sea Tree Source to Saul to look after, was already dead.
Saul was worried that there were other problems with the Black Sea Tree Source, and although it was planted, it was not carefully cultivated.
It was even half-sealed here.
But to think that this tree hadn’t even changed in any way after the outbreak of the Black Tide, it was worthy of being the Evernight Empire’s masterpiece.
[Because where there is a Black Sea Tree Source, the Red Sea Tree Source can’t grow, and will even involuntarily become the Black Sea Tree Source’s nourishment. Whereas the Court of Judgment needs a large number of tree sources that can absorb the pollution in the seawater, the Black Sea Tree Sources are unable to reproduce in large numbers, and thus cannot satisfy their needs.]
“So that’s how it is, not being able to fulfill their needs but also destroying the Red Sea Tree Sources that they managed to raise with great difficulty, no wonder the Ruling Court wants to clean out the Black Sea Tree Sources. And naturally, the royal family that had managed to breed the Black Sea Tree Source with great difficulty was not willing to do so, so the two fought?”
[Neverwinter Nights had tried to fight back, but the Court Master Flim Flam ended the entire royal family with a single strike. Only one or two survived outside. Later on, it seemed that some other power interceded and promised not to let the Black Sea Tree Source appear in Nefreet, which stopped the hunt].
“It’s no wonder that Justin ended up in No Man’s Land to be able to barely live. But then it seems that he was still killed in passing.”
Sol opened his defense against the Black Sea Tree Source and took this Black Sea Tree Source out for the first time.
“Since I’ve already planted the tree seed, it would be good to transplant the Black Sea Tree Source in and pull out the tree seed again before I leave.”
When Little Algae heard this, the tips of its tentacles twitched and lay completely flat.
Leaving the second underground floor, Sol prepared to check on Korie.
The Land of the Unknowns harbored dangers everywhere, as well as the ubiquitous Black Tide pollution.
I’m afraid it would take a while for Korrie to adapt to this place.
However, when Saul went to look for Korrie, he found that she was no longer in the room.
“Where is everyone?” Saul walked out of Korie’s room.
“Miss Korrie is discussing things with Lord Byron on the third floor.” Hope duly appeared appeared at the fifth floor stairway, “Lord Tower Master, do you need me to ask Miss Korrie to come over?” “No, I’ll go over by myself.” Saul waved his hand.
The sorcery notes that Korie had recently read were recorded by Sol and Byron together.
Just now when Saul wasn’t there, Korie must have gone to find Byron to discuss it.
He headed down the stairs, usually preferring to move through his limbs even though there were easier ways to teleport.
Hope just followed Saul silently, and when he got down to the turn, he suddenly asked in a low voice, “Lord Tower Master, what should we call Ms. Kori?”
Saul stopped and turned back in confusion, “Just call it that.”
He didn’t understand why Hope asked, and thought better of it, “Of course, you can also ask her what she wishes to be called.”
Hope pursed her lips and smiled, nodding, “I understand, my lord.”
He always felt that the butler’s smile contained a deep meaning, but Saul’s mind was still thinking about what else he had to arrange before traveling to Sky City again at this time, and did not think carefully about the butler’s words.
Walking to the third floor, Saul turned left while the butler bowed to his back before continuing down the stairs.
Knocking on the door, no one answered inside.
Saul pushes the door in and sees Kori staring intently at a container that is reacting.
And Byron was on the other side of the room handling some kind of material.
“What are you looking at?” Saul walked up.
“I’ve been looking at your inerting formulas, and I’m asking Byron-senpai to help me demonstrate the whole thing.”
On the metal instrument, there were densely-packed silver-colored thin needles inserted, with a magic crystal suspended above each one.
And a bit of black tissue was sealed beneath the metal disk.
As time passed, the magic crystal on the silver needle turned black a little bit, while the black tissue underneath gradually turned gray and translucent.
Byron came over at this time and used tweezers to clip off the blackened magic crystal.
“This way can remove the contamination in the body more thoroughly. However, Saul and I have discussed that if it is an outbreak of a black tide like seawater, our way is too slow. I’m afraid that we’ll be drowned before it’s too late to clean up the contamination.”
Korrie nodded, “I see, the speed of releasing water is no match for the speed of filling it, and sooner or later, the people inside the pool are going to drown.”
She had only watched it once, and had memorized the entire process, and offered her own thoughts.
“I’ve noticed that the silver needle doesn’t completely disarm the contaminants while this experiment is going on. What does this transfer of energy rely on?”
“It’s a type of radiation, or a wave, much like the way the contamination spreads.” Sol leaned over the edge of the lab bench and told Korie what he envisioned.
“Radiation?” Kori bit her lip, “I’ve studied radiation as well.”
Byron put away the apparatus, then tossed the tissue, which had turned gray and translucent, directly to Saul.
Saul raised his hand to catch it, and the tissue melted into his palm and disappeared.
“What was that?” Kori exclaimed, coming up to pick at Saul’s palm, “Are you guys doing human experiments?”
“Hahahahaha!!!” Saul collapsed in laughter.
Byron shrugged his shoulders, “Korie, if you need to, you can always have Saul lie down on the lab table.”
