Chapter 813: Quite Miserable
Chapter 813 Quite Miserable
The last time I saw Xander was when I rescued his sister Midol’s soul from the tidal wave of souls in Blue Water Bay.
After that, the other party had given him the ancestral Chaotic Domain Compass in order to thank Sol.
Of course, at that time, Xander only knew that the Chaotic Domain Compass might be a sorcery prop, not knowing exactly how rare a sorcery prop it was.
Of course, as an ordinary person, even if he knew, he couldn’t activate it. Moreover, activating the Chaotic Domain Compass also required the ancient sorcery gold coins in Saul’s hand, which were all things that had been handed down from before the Solstice Era.
At that time, Saul had wondered if Xander had any background when he lived in such a straitjacket but had a kind of pride from the bottom of his heart and had such an ancient and powerful sorcery prop in his hand.
But he also didn’t expect that after a few years of not seeing each other, the other party had transformed from a downtrodden merchant on the streets to the emperor of the strongest empire in the Nefret continent.
Alfonso also didn’t expect that Saul and the emperor actually knew each other.
He looked left and right, but still didn’t pursue the relationship between the two.
As a court sorcerer, he of course knew that the current emperor was a stray royal bloodline who had been picked up from the Stat continent only a short while ago.
The other party had been on the same continent as Saul before, so he should have met him at that time.
“It seems that the two of you know each other, so that’s good. Your Majesty, Lord Saul, let’s go over there and sit down to talk.”
Alfonso raised his hand and invited the two to sit down on the sofa at the end of the room.
Saul watched as Xander slowly walked over, and judging from the other man’s face and walking posture, his body seemed very weak.
Not only was Xander’s skin much paler than the last time they had seen each other, there was also a pallor of blood loss.
“It seems that Xander, the emperor, is not living a good life either.” He remembered that Xander was not among those who had come to greet him, most likely because his physical condition did not allow it.
“The last time I saw him, he was in pretty good shape physically and mentally.”
Saul put a hand on the back of the other man’s neck directly after Xander sat down.
Xander’s body stiffened, but didn’t duck.
Alfonso sat down nicely, equally unguarded.
“There’s no problem with the mental body, the body has been remodeled, the physique is stronger …… Well, are you not too restrained after becoming emperor?”
Faced with such a blunt question from Saul, Xander smiled bitterly, “Lord Saul, this matter, I can’t make the decision.”
Saul looked at Alfonso with an odd expression on his face.
Unlike the court sorcerers of the Kemah Empire, Alfonso obviously treated Xander with less respect.
There was even a feeling of being in charge of the other party.
At this moment, when he saw Saul looking over, Alfonso nodded, “His Majesty Alessandra is the only remaining royal bloodline of the Eternal Night, and it is imperative to leave more heirs as soon as possible.”
The corner of Sol’s mouth twitched.
In that case, it really wasn’t Xander’s indulgence caused by the sudden change in his status.
“How many kids do you have now?” He asked a somewhat embarrassed Xander.
Xander pursed his lips and blushed even harder.
“No, none.” His voice was as thin as a gnat.
Saul was silent for a moment, his palm over the back of Xander’s neck again.
Xander lowered his head, knowing that Saul was trying to check his body.
Unlike the last time, this time he felt something sharp stabbing right through the back of his neck.
A sharp pain immediately traveled down his spine to his brain. However, just as he wanted to reflexively dodge, he realized that his body was as cold as if it was frozen, and he couldn’t even make a move to raise his head. Bean-sized beads of sweat immediately emerged from his forehead and nose, gathering together before dripping down his cheeks to his front lapel.
Alfonso watched from the sidelines, and became somewhat curious about Saul and Xander’s relationship.
Saul had caused Alyxandrah so much pain, and the latter surprisingly didn’t cast a glance of relief towards himself.
This was a sign of complete trust in Saul!
An ordinary friendship wouldn’t show such a display.
However, Alfonso was just curious, he didn’t really care about the Emperor of Eternal Night’s emotions or his socialization.
Anyway, this emperor was just an empty name, and he couldn’t even touch the politics of Neverwinter Nights, and was just a person who was used to perpetuate his offspring, as well as ……
As Alfonso pondered, Saul finally raised his hand. And Xander, who had been tortured by him, dropped his head violently in the next second and fainted.
Saul lifted his hand and made Xander lean against the backrest of the sofa and half lie down, while casting a sorcery spell to recover the trauma he had just caused in order to probe his body.
At the same time, because Xander had already fainted, Saul didn’t have to take Xander’s feelings into account when communicating with Alfonso.
“The reason Lord Flim invited me here was to cure the Black Tide contamination on the mermaid. Yet you brought me here to see Xander first, could it be that the mermaids are just a front and the real purpose is for me to treat this Emperor’s Majesty?”
Alfonso still had that serious look, “I should say that treating the Emperor of Eternal Night is part of treating the mermaid’s contamination.”
Saul held his chin and guessed, “Could it be that your forcing Xander to give birth to an heir as soon as possible is also related to the mermaids?”
Alfonso nodded.
“The royal family of Neverwinter Nights wouldn’t possess a mermaid bloodline, would they?”
“Pretty much.”
Thor reached out directly to Alfonso, “Go ahead!”
Alfonso had brought Saul to see the Eternal Night Emperor this time, also to make things clear.
He paused for a moment to organize his thoughts before he began to talk about the relationship between the Neverwinter Nights Imperial Clan and the Mermaid Clan.
“You are aware that the southeastern coastline of the Nefertiti Continent is planted with Red Sea Trees, right?”
Sol still knew more about things related to the Black Tide pollution.
“Yes. It is used to absorb the Black Tide that comes out of the Eye of the Abyss.”
“The Red Sea Tree is able to absorb Black Tide pollution, but it cannot eliminate it. When the absorbed pollution reaches a certain level, the Red Sea Tree will backfire on the absorbed and accumulated pollution, even if it tries to collect and isolate the pollution, it will still cause great harm.”
“In order to solve the Red Sea Tree’s pollution backlash, the Judgment Court spent ten years separating the mermaid race’s bloodline from the bloodlines passed down from the ancient times and created a large number of mermaids. At the same time, through remodeling, it weakened the mermaid race’s mental body and simply enhanced their physical tolerance, making them more suitable for the Black Tide pollution than other races. It’s even possible to survive in it for a while.”
“The remodeled mermaids feed on the root plants that are borne at the bottom of the Red Sea Tree. And the rhizome plants are the parts of the Red Sea Tree that store the Black Tide pollution.”
The corners of Sol’s eyes trembled slightly, suddenly remembering the mermaids left in his palace.
At that time, he had realized that the mermaids’ intelligence was very low, and seemed to have only the most basic survival instincts, but were able to remain alive when there was a large amount of contamination in their bodies.
But even if they could adapt to the pollution, there was still an upper limit.
The Red Sea Tree would reverse the pollution that it couldn’t store, so what about the mermaids?
When they ate the polluted root that the Red Sea Tree had produced and the pollution in their bodies reached the upper limit, there was only one way to end up being destroyed, right?
When the God of Water, Fluke, was in the critical moment of recovering his strength, he still sent his consciousness to the mermaids carried by Thor, was it to see what the current state of existence of his offspring, the mermaids, was?
Now it seems to be really quite miserable!
Late to the party, hugs a smidge
