Chapter 846 – Ambiguous
Chapter 846 Ambiguous
When the Black Tide comes, a large number of contaminated and alienated monsters will surface from the bottom of the sea, killing and destroying everything in sight.
Although the Red Sea Tree of Eternal Night was able to absorb the pollution of the Black Tide, it did not have the slightest resistance to the monsters.
Therefore, the wizards’ front line of resistance against the Black Tide was actually located on the outskirts of the Red Sea Tree.
They had to kill the monsters before they got close enough to avoid causing a lot of damage to the Red Sea Tree and affecting the absorption of the Black Tide pollution.
If Wizard Stewart was going to stay until the Black Tide came, then he might have to participate in the battle as well.
Currently, among the third-ranked sorcerers of this eternal night, Saul was probably the only one who hadn’t been assigned the task of fighting on the battlefield.
When Stewart saw Saul, his mind immediately recalled the secret talk with His Majesty Aello the other day.
Seeing Saul again at this moment, many complicated emotions flashed through his heart. However, he had always been introverted and did not show his emotions.
But it wasn’t like Saul relied entirely on his eyes to see people.
“Brother Saul,” Penny carefully told Saul in her diary, “this person’s emotions change a lot when he looks at you!”
“Oh?” Saul immediately realized that Stewart probably knew something, or was going to do something to himself, hence the difference in his emotional display from the other day when they were getting along and discussing the issue.
Saul and Stewart did not have many encounters, and the two had only discussed the Red Sea Tree together.
What did the other party know that would cause such a big fluctuation in his mind when he faced himself that Penny would notice it?
In front of so many people, Saul temporarily put down his mind of seeking proof. Thinking of the deliberately reserved seal on his body, he decided to sneak behind Stewart to take a look after the experiment.
As long as he didn’t follow the other party to the front of the Black Flame Emperor, he wouldn’t be discovered.
Seeing that Royer and Alfonso’s whispering was not finished for the time being, Saul stepped forward to chat with Stuart, “Did you come up with any solutions to the problem we discussed last time that the Red Sea Tree would be completely suppressed by the Black Sea Tree?”
Stuart was trying to find a topic to talk about and hurriedly followed up, “The Red Sea Tree and the Black Sea Tree are closer to animals in nature. That’s why the innate bloodline suppression between them is difficult to change through artificial taming. My idea is that we can mimic the method of treating mermaids, by destroying a part of the Red Sea Tree’s instincts, isn’t it possible to make the Red Sea Tree lose its instinctive fear of the Black Sea Tree?”
“Destroy the Red Sea Tree’s instincts?” Sol considered Stuart’s proposal.
Although the other party lived in the Nefret continent, he hadn’t studied much about the Red Sea Tree.
Although the characteristics of the Red Sea Tree were more similar to animals, it did not have a conscious soul as a whole. Trying to destroy the instincts that targeted the Black Sea Tree’s fear was too difficult.
In case of a mistake, destroying the fragmented consciousness of the Red Sea Tree, it was possible for them to lose even the initiative to absorb pollution.
Then the Judgment Court would surely euthanize them immediately so that the viability of the Red Sea Tree group wouldn’t be affected.
But Stewart’s proposal made Saul more confident in his original idea.
Saul also wanted to utilize this instinct of the Red Sea Trees being fearful of the Black Sea Trees.
While Stuart thinks this instinct can be destroyed, Saul thinks this instinct can be utilized!
The two discuss some more details about the instinct, and Alfonso returns with Royer.
Alfonso’s expression didn’t change much.
Royer still had a smile on his face, but it wasn’t as happy as it had been.
“Okay, we’ll start now.” Alfonso didn’t care what Royer’s mood was, and began to give the three of them the operating steps of this experiment.
“…… Currently there is no method found to prevent the onset of the disease for the mermaids who have contracted the disease for the time being. No, it can’t be said that it hasn’t been found.”
The three were immediately tuned up with interest.
“You found a method?” Saul was the most concerned of them all.
Alfonso coughed lightly, “Actually, you know the method, and that is to isolate the mermaids from the Black Tide.” “Pfft!” Royer let out an exaggerated laugh, “If the mermaids are isolated from the Black Tide, how are they going to remove the pollution in the Red Sea Tree’s rhizome? What’s the point of keeping mermaids if they can’t do that?”
Alfonso immediately explained, “Currently the only ones who are experiencing contamination diseases are the returning mermaids, other mermaids aren’t affected. That’s why I want to summon all the returning merfolk in the Red Sea through Pearl’s ability and quarantine them. This way, in the Black Tide contamination that will occur soon, for the time being, we don’t have to worry about the occurrence of a large number of mermaids contracting the disease.”
“Is this the last experiment?” Sol was slightly disappointed.
This shouldn’t even be considered an experiment, but rather a cleanup of the mermaid population.
In that case, there was little need for him to participate. He might as well go back and continue his own experiment.
“Not just that, I also want to use this opportunity to experiment with the resistance of returning mermaids with different bloodline concentrations to Black Tide pollution.”
Alfonso looked around at the three of them, “That’s why I’m asking you all to record data on multiple individuals together.”
Saul was just about to agree when his afterglow suddenly saw what appeared to be a small head peeking out from the edge of the deep water pool.
He twisted his head to look over, and realized that Pearl, the mermaid who had been brought out of the palace by Alfonso on a rare occasion, was looking at the four of them with interest.
“Can I be in charge of recording Pearl’s data?”
“Pearl?” Alfonso immediately said, “I brought her here to attract the returning mermaids in the sea. Pearl, as the mermaid with the strongest bloodline of the royal family, has an innate appeal to other returning mermaids. Although she can’t do anything else, she can still lure the mermaids out. That’s why Pearl isn’t participating ……”
However, before Alfonso could finish speaking, Royer suddenly slapped Alfonso on the shoulder, directly interrupting his words.
“Alas! It’s not like we’re going to slaughter this white-haired mermaid, it’s just a black tide pollution experiment. And wouldn’t it be just right to put Saul in charge? He’s the best at treating black tide pollution, it’s safest to have him keep track of it.”
Stuart tilted his head at the side to look at the crowd, using his small eyes to take in everyone’s performance.
Alfonso was originally unsure, but couldn’t help Royer’s jokingly forceful suggestion, and in the end, he could only give Pearl a worried look and helplessly agree.
Pearl, who was originally staring at the four, happened to meet Alfonso’s four eyes and immediately revealed a sweet smile.
Afterwards, the people began to perform the work they were responsible for according to Alfonso’s experimental process.
Alfonso first walked to the edge of the deep water pool and picked up the mermaid princess with his hands clamped under her armpits.
Without the slightest resistance, the mermaid princess obediently got out of the water.
She looked at Alfonso, who was close by, and approached her with a smile on her face.
Alfonso also poked his head out, only, it was with his forehead against Pearl’s.
The two foreheads touched, and Pearl’s movement closer was halted. She rolled her eyes hard at Alfonso, who was close at hand, and seemed to want to come closer, but her body was imprisoned by a force that prevented her from coming any closer.
Saul stared at the two closely as he felt the spiritual power coming from Alfonso being transmitted through the foreheads of the one man and the fish touching.
It seemed to be sending a message to Pearl in a special way.
Pearl’s spiritual body was incomplete, and according to Water God Fluke’s analysis, someone should have deliberately destroyed Pearl’s spiritual body.
This made it difficult for her to understand others’ thoughts and commands.
Therefore, trying to make her obedient to draw out the returning mermaids in the Red Sea was not an easy task.
Alfonso has watched over Pearl for many years and seems to have figured out a way to communicate with Pearl, delivering his commands more accurately into Pearl’s mind.
It was supposed to be a proper, serious thing. But Saul watched as Pearl tilted his little eyes up and glanced at Alfonso with a look of excitement and fluttering making him feel something strange.
How is the atmosphere …… between this man and fish a little ambiguous?
Suddenly felt a fierce change of mood around him, Saul head motionless, squinted at the side of the Royer, stunned to find that his face had a moment …… hideous.
