Chapter 822 – The Truly Protected

Chapter 822 The Truly Protected

Saul didn’t stay at the bottom of the ocean for long, and he had already gathered his emotions by the time he returned to Royer’s side.

“You see, mermaids aren’t actually interesting at all.” Royer laughed, thinking that Saul’s expressionless face was due to his disappointment at seeing a school of mermaids, “I think you’ve seen that mermaid called Coral, right? But that kind of returning mermaid is really just an isolated case within an isolated case. Moreover, Alfonso has also done autopsy experiments, the adaptability of the returning mermaids to pollution is not as good as the mutated mermaids we made. It’s just a piece of junk. Of course, if you really like it, I can also ask Alfonso to send you a returned mermaid, the kind that isn’t sick.”

Saul didn’t answer, but pointed down and asked, “Can I take one away to go back and study it?”

Royer was indifferent, “Who cares if there’s a missing fish in the sea?”

That was an agreement.

Saul was ready to pick one to take with him before he left.

He observes the lazy mermaids below while he continues his exchange with Royer about the Red Sea Tree.

After all, Royer was only interested in the Red Sea Tree.

“Without the Red Sea Tree, how much would the Black Tide pollution affect the shore dwellers? How extensive is the range?”

Saul had seen the No Man’s Land engulfed by the Black Tide in the preview of the Golden Pages.

It could literally be said that there were no survivors.

So after the pollution diluted by the sea, how much would the power drop?
Royer didn’t answer Sol right away, ”Well, there are too many influencing factors, I have to do some math. However, I can lend you the previous historical information, the Court of Judgment was also established around that time. Of course, many things are not exactly the same as now, so it can only be used as a reference.”

Saul nodded, he naturally understood these truths.

“In fact, the fundamental reason for the Judgment Court to remodel the Red Sea Tree was not to protect the residents along the coast.” Royer suddenly said seriously, “Can you think of who we’re really aiming to protect when we spent manpower and material resources, and a lot of sorcery resources, to turn the southeastern coast of Nefret into a red sea?”

Saul originally wanted to say that it was to protect the wizards of the Court of Judgment, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, “Protect the continent of Nefret?”

“Brilliant!” Royer high-fived, “When the Eye of the Abyss appeared, it ate an entire continent. At that time, in order to survive, the remaining fifth-ranked wizards on Nefret and Iskepper directly drove the two continents away from the Eye of the Abyss, just to prolong the time they lived. It’s only that the wizards on Iskepper are better at escaping, which is why Iskepper is now in the middle of the Stat continent and the Nefret continent, well-protected.”

Royer sneered.

“Now the fifth order are all dead, the mutations are gone. The fourth-order wizards can’t pry the continent either, so they can only stay here and wait for death.”

“Is the Judgment Court also waiting for death?” Saul didn’t believe it.

People waiting to die wouldn’t make so many small moves.

Royer raised his eyes to look at Saul, obviously there was something else going on, but he had no intention of telling Saul.

“If you join the Judgment Court, you might be able to be one of the few who know the truth.” Royer seduced Sol, “You know, for wizards, knowledge is sometimes more important than magic.”

Saul smiled and didn’t say anything.

His identity was special, his status was special, if he declared to join the Judgment Court, then the Stargate Council would definitely be the first to twist their heads and come after him.

Even Mentor Golza wouldn’t be able to protect him.

Royer obviously wouldn’t consider so much for Sol, seeing that Sol didn’t take a stance, the interest he had just spoken so eloquently faded a lot.

“Think about it. It’s not good to soak in this sea for a long time, let’s go back.”

Royer said and floated towards the surface.

Sol also immediately followed.

Although Royer didn’t emphasize that Saul couldn’t stay alone in the sea, Saul was still very self-aware.

In his current state, he was at best a guest in the hall, and at worst a prisoner.

It looked like he was freer than in Sky City, but in reality, he had to be careful with every step he took.

Getting closer and closer to the sea, Saul pondered in his mind, “Still need to promote to the fourth rank ah, as long as there is someone on your head pressing you, there will always be a time when you can’t help it.”

Saul thought of the people he had seen these days, and for a moment he could not think of anyone who could be his third target. Life in the Court of Judgment was too stable, and a stable fate line could not provide much power of fate.

The only ones that were somewhat interesting right now were the mermaid coral and the puppet emperor Xander.

But both were too weak in actual strength and could easily die.

Although Saul could change his target if they died, it was ultimately troublesome.

And he didn’t really want to stay in Nefertiti.

Back above the surface, the two cleaned off the excess seawater and stains.

“Seriously, if it wasn’t for the fact that healing mermaids was an order from the Court Master, I’d be tempted to drag you to my lab right now.”

Looking at the mermaids carried in Saul’s hands, Royer frowned in disgust, “When you cure them, I’ll suggest to the Court Master to carry out a new round of remodeling on the mermaids, and do my best to increase their reproduction rate, so that even if they die, they don’t have to be heartbroken, and you and Alfonso, will be able to spare your energy for some really useful experimental research.”

Royer disliked mermaids at heart, and thought that any experiments on them were a waste of time.

But he couldn’t change Flim’s decision, and could only grumble under his breath.

Before, he mainly complained to Alfonso.

Now the object of complaint was another Saul.

Saul didn’t refuse either, “When I finish the task at hand, I will definitely visit your lab.”

After visiting the Red Sea Tree today, he also had some preliminary ideas for a remodeling program in his mind.

It’s just that he didn’t have the time to complete the subsequent deduction of these visions right now, and could only bury the inspiration in the bottom of his heart.

Leaving the Red Sea, Saul and Royer parted ways.

He took the mermaid he had randomly picked up from the seabed back to the palace where he was temporarily residing, while Royer was summoned away halfway through the journey.

The departure was in a hurry, and it was not known what had happened.

For the next three days, Saul spent his time in his room doing research on healing pollution, and Kate had an additional mermaid playmate.

It’s just that this playmate’s IQ was too low, and she did nothing but eat and sleep every day.

What the mermaid ate was the stem chunks of the Red Sea Tree that stored the contamination. The stem pieces also have a special substance made from the blood extracted from Xander’s body.

This special substance for mermaids, like catnip for cats, had a fatal attraction, even if it would be hard to eat after eating the Red Sea Tree stem block, the mermaids couldn’t resist its temptation.

Kate had wanted to taste the stem block, but was stopped by Saul.

“Actually, you don’t have to worry about my body.” After spending a lot of time with Saul, Kate also realized that this guy would always be soft for those he recognized.

“Instead of experimenting the treatment plan on these mermaids who can’t express themselves, why don’t you test it on me? I can give you more accurate feedback on the experiment.”

Kate said matter-of-factly with an ugly face, not caring that she might end up on a lab table as a result.

[Actually, we can enter a mermaid’s body too!

Herman is inspired to contribute to Saul’s therapy research as well.

Saul considers it for a moment, knowing that their proposal has merit, and that experiments with feedback are always more accurate.

But just as he’s about to import the conscious body from his journal, there’s another knock on the palatial door of his quarters.

“Lord Saul, His Majesty Alyxandrah invites you to come over for a moment.”
