Chapter 847: No Cause of Disease?

Chapter 847: No Cause of Illness?

The emotion on Royer’s face came and went quickly.

But Saul could still feel the suppressed anger beneath the other man’s expression, which had regained its composure.

Saul knew that Royer looked down on mermaids, and viewed all of this community as trash.

But he didn’t expect Royer to be so angry when he saw Alfonso and Pearl approaching.

“Are there other conflicts between them?”

After his eyes flicked over the two men and the fish, Saul turned around and prepared to take off.

That’s when Penny’s laughter was heard again.

“Brother Saul, just now when you were looking at the others, this little dwarf next to you was watching you too!”

Penny actually described Stewart this way!

Saul was noncommittal.

He, Stewart, and Royer flew to the Red Sea sea according to the pre-assigned area.

Once all three had signaled, Alfonso patted Pearl on the head.

Pearl hesitated for a moment before seeming to remember what she was about to do, and opened her little mouth that had little blood color.

Except that although the mermaid princess opened her mouth, no sound came out of it.

Thor narrowed his eyes slightly, then felt a not very stable mental power fluctuation spreading from Pearl’s body to the sea.

The sea water was unresponsive at first, and it took almost ten minutes before there were some fluctuations.

After another ten minutes or so, a mermaid surfaced and looked towards the coast where Pearl was, with some curiosity and longing on its face.

The location of this mermaid happened to be the area that Royer was in charge of, he immediately raised his hand and the mermaid was picked up from the seawater by a big invisible hand.

The mermaid left the water and immediately struggled in panic.

Luo Ye’s hand was not polite, he directly held the invisible hand tightly, the mermaid didn’t struggle for long, and immediately fainted.

Saul quickly reminded him, “Royer, don’t kill it!”

Only then did Royer loosen his grip, allowing the mermaid to catch its breath.

Next, was the second, the third ……

They all looked in the direction of the pearl with some curiosity and yearning, and then, one by one, they were pulled out of the sea by the three third-ranked sorcerers guarding the surface.

It took almost an hour, and the few people caught a total of 11 returning mermaids.

136 non-returning mermaids.

“Isn’t Pearl only able to call out returning mermaids? How did you bring up so many?” Stuart asked suspiciously while distinguishing the types of mermaids.

Saul was also picking out the mermaids, “I think …… Pearl might not be to blame. The intelligence of these mermaids is generally not high, they probably saw a returning mermaid swimming towards the surface and followed it up to see what was going on.”

As he spoke, Saul also looked at Pearl. Pearl finished her task and was released back into the water. At this time, there was a red-haired coral beside her.

The two mermaids very joyfully looked at Sol’s people at the same time, watching them pick out the mermaids.

If they didn’t look at the lower half of their tails, they looked like two newly bathed beauties.

It was pleasing to the eyes.

Royer, however, smiled contemptuously, “That’s why we chose to use modified mermaids to absorb the Red Sea Tree’s pollution. It’s very easy to control them with the mermaid royal bloodline.”

“The reformed mermaids are less sensitive to Black Tide pollution, but they feed on the roots of the Red Sea Tree on a daily basis, and there will always be a time when the pollution reaches the upper limit of their tolerance.” Stewart looked at the shriveled mermaids all over the ground and suddenly asked, “At that time, how will you deal with it?”

“Of course,” Royer hammered his right hand hard on the palm of his left hand with a thud, “Compress the trash that can’t be used and throw it into the deep sea.” There was no such thing as protecting the marine environment in this world. In fact, the oceans here weren’t even something wizards could protect.

After Royer explained the final destination of the mermaids, he also deliberately glanced back at Alfonso who was debugging the potion. It was just that the latter didn’t pay any attention to him at all, as if he hadn’t heard him.

Including the returning mermaids that originally existed in the deep water pool, there were a total of 22 returning mermaids present. The number wasn’t much among the hundreds of thousands of transformed mermaids, but as long as a contamination disease appeared on their bodies, they could potentially infect the thousands and thousands of mermaids around them.

It was still very dangerous.

Alfonso’s operation of using the pearls to gather all the returning merfolk together before the Black Tide hit was very wise. It should have gotten the consent of the ruling court as well.

Otherwise Royer and Stewart couldn’t have all dropped what they were doing and come over to help him.

At this time, Alfonso came over with the potion, “The nearby returning mermaids should all be here. Afterward, I will bring the pearls to collect mermaids from other seas.”

Royer clasped his hands to his chest, “What, and ask us to accompany you on the south coast?”

“No need,” Alfonso shook his head expressionlessly, “You guys can go back after your experiments today. The local resident wizards will cooperate with me afterward. Moreover, only returned mermaids have been found in this neighborhood so far, it’s unlikely that there are any elsewhere, so there’s no need for you guys to make a trip for nothing.”

Royer seemed to think of something, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face again, slapping Alfonso on the shoulder, “Good, then you can take your mermaid princess out for a spin. Just don’t forget to come back at the end.”

Saul didn’t say a word from the side, always feeling that there was something in Royer’s words.

Penny also spat in his consciousness, “These two seem to be friends, but there’s so much drama on the inside.”

Without responding to Penny, Saul stepped forward to receive the potion Alfonso had dispensed, then walked towards Pearl and Coral.

According to the previous agreement, he would conduct the Black Tide contamination experiment on Pearl. However, because of Pearl’s special mermaid princess and the unique ability to call other returning mermaids, Saul also assured Alfonso that he would absolutely remove the contamination from Pearl’s body before the Black Tide caused more damage to her.

Coming to Pearl’s side, Coral also looked on. In addition to the two of them, Saul was responsible for three more mermaids.

The mermaids assigned to him were the ones with the most obvious characteristics of returning ancestors. All of them had at least one third of the scales on their tails that were cyan in color.

And of these five mermaids, Pearl and Coral showed somewhat higher intelligence.

The appearance was also most in line with human aesthetics, without those strange fish features.

Without delay, Saul fixed the five mermaids on the ground with small algae, and then injected the Black Tide Pollutant inside them.

After operating the first step, Saul took two steps back and observed the reaction of the five mermaids.

None of them reacted much.

After an hour, rotting wounds were the first to start appearing on the coral. Coral, who originally didn’t feel anything, bristled and began to cry.

Seems to see the coral weeping, pearl also began to “snap, snap, snap” fall tears.

The other three mermaids have not yet shown abnormal reaction, but looking at the pearl and coral crying, although a face of bewilderment, but also began to fall tears.

Mermaids seem to know that no one will care about their tears, even if they are crying, but also silently, alone and quietly …… did not think to ask for help from anyone.

Saul, like a cold blooded and merciless killer, stood by and let them cry, and then checked the contamination on each mermaid from time to time.

When a piece of green scale on Pearl s tail fell off, revealing a little wound underneath, Saul immediately stepped forward and removed the pollution from her body. At the same time healing the coral.

Pearl hadn’t contracted the strange and terrible pollution disease like Coral had, but she had the lowest resistance to Black Tide pollution of the returning mermaids.

“The more pronounced the return, the lower the resistance to Kuroshio. But the one with the lowest resistance is still the coral infected with the pollution disease. Coral’s bloodline concentration is clearly lower than Pearl’s, but she contracted the pollution disease first, so what exactly is the reason she contracted the disease?”

Sol walked over to Coral and lifted her chin.

Coral was forced to tilt her head, her ruby eyes gazing at Sol, her eyes filled with tears, but they were no longer overflowing.

She looked at Saul without disgust or fear in her eyes, and there was a hint of curiosity hidden in them.

Saul lowered his head to scrutinize Coral, and silently thought in his heart, “After trying many kinds of methods, I still can’t find the cause of the disease …… Is there …… no cause of the disease?”
