Chapter 852 – The Illuminated Channel
Chapter 852 – Phantom Color Channel
At the drop of a hat, the Tattletale Demon allocated a safe zone to Saul in Phantom Time.
As soon as Sol mayfly chrysalis the thin thread-like body of consciousness to the top of the grayish platform, it suddenly reverted back to its human form.
Apparently, in this safe zone, he could move around more at will.
Saul moved around for a while and realized that the environment here was very similar to the Wizard World, even the concentration of magic particles was similar.
It was as if he raised his hand and created a small world.
In such an environment, it was much easier to construct a transmission spell for the information channel.
Saul immediately re-mobilized his mental power and followed the steps that had already been designed to connect a second information transmission spell formation with the fate thread.
When the spell formation was constructed, he once again mobilized his spiritual energy.
This time, he was more careful and focused so as not to shatter the thread of fate again.
And this time, it was surprisingly smooth!
All the spell formations and energies were molded at once, and the most important information interaction sent back feedback.
[What person?
The mental fluctuations belonging to Floco were translated into clear words in the spell.
Sol revealed a smile, “Floco, can you hear me clearly?”
What Saul transmitted over was naturally not a voice, but the spiritual energy would be transferred to Floco’s consciousness through the fate line between the two and be similarly translated into the universal language.
[Saul?
There was undisguised surprise in the message that Floco transmitted over.
It seemed that this kind of information that was directly transmitted with a fate line could not hide the original emotions of the person who transmitted it.
[I heard it clearly. Is this …… the effect of your last sorcery spell?]
Floco knew that he was able to escape from the deep sea because he had made a deal with Soldat.
After this deal, he and Sol were considered to have formed a community of interest. Even he himself could feel that his future seemed to be bound to Saul.
Although Saul couldn’t interfere with his will and actions, if something went wrong on Saul’s side, he would suffer a strong backlash.
Although that backlash couldn’t kill him, it would still cause him to suffer a great deal of vitality.
That was why Floco had spared no effort and possessed the mermaid Kate to help Saul study the mermaids.
“It’s sort of one of the functions of the Symphony of Fate. But I’ve just developed it and am in the experimental stage.”
At that moment, another piece of information came from a distant place.
[My god! What is this thing running into my brain? Could it be that I’ve been cursed by someone? Or did someone plant some kind of parasite in my brain when I didn’t know? Damn it, should I dissect my brain to see?
A familiar scent of victimized paranoia greeted me.
The corners of Saul’s mouth curved up even higher.
“Shia, long time no see.”
[Saul? So it’s you, well, it scared me, I thought I was being parasitized by someone again].
Shia, who was already ready to open his brain, finally put down the knife in his hand.
Probably because he has been completely tamed by Saul, facing Saul, he is no longer suspicious.
[Is this the method of communication you came up with? It’s really good!
Shia just wanted to continue praising Sol for a few more sentences, but he didn’t realize that the spell formation that Sol had designed right now had not yet been shunted for information.
In other words, the information he transmitted to the spell formation would be received by Fluke as well.
And Floco had no intention of hiding his existence.
Floco: [Saul, who is this Shia?
Shia: [Huh? There’s someone else here? Could it be that you’ve been parasitized by someone else, Saul?]
Sol holds his forehead, “No, I’m fine. This is an extraordinarily encrypted information transmission channel I established. So that in the future, even if the three of us are on different sides of the world, we can still communicate through this platform.”
After explaining about the information transmission, Saul introduced the two to each other. “…… This is the current situation. There may be others joining this platform in the future. Well, let’s just call it the Phantom Channel. We can also help each other out in the future if there’s an emergency, we’re all in a community of interest of sorts now, so remember to help each other out.”
[Phantom Channel? That’s awful… Huh, that’s gotten out as well? Ah! This channel is a bit sensitive! Haha, hahahahaha ……]
Ignoring the embarrassed laughter from Shia’s side, Saul skimmed his lips and temporarily added a small dark room to the phantom so that Shia could only speak but not listen.
He then chatted with Floco first about business.
“Your Excellency Floco, a new round of Black Tide infestation is about to arrive on the side of Nephrite. According to reliable sources, this defense operation against the Black Tide in Neverwinter Nights is likely to have accidents.”
Floco immediately made the connection, [Something wrong with the mermaids of the Neverwinter Nights?]
Sol froze, shouldn’t it be normal to think that it was the Red Sea Tree of the Neverwinter Nights that had problems?
After all, the Red Sea Tree was the main force fighting against the Black Tide. The mermaids were just an existence to clean up the battlefield.
But Floco wasn’t more concerned about the mermaids because he himself was a Cyan Scale.
He immediately stated the reason for his suspicions.
Floco: [Actually, there is something strange about the state of the mermaids in Neverwinter Nights. The mermaid who inherited the most mermaid throne bloodline was kept in captivity. The mermaid whose bloodline concentration was second only to hers was born with a disease that prevented her from touching the Black Tide. Not only is this disease incurable, it also infects other mermaids.]
Sol also had this suspicion and nodded, ”Yes, I noticed that too. And the other day I caught some returning mermaids to do an experiment and found that none of these returning mermaids were as resistant to the Black Tide as the other mermaids. It’s simply that the more rejuvenated they are, the weaker they get.”
“But it’s not impossible, after all, there was no Black Tide in the era where the returning mermaids were.”
[Heh, but Sol, there’s one thing you’re forgetting. The deep sea, is never a safe place. The mermaids who came from the deep sea are the ones who fought their way out of the most dangerous darkness.”]
Sol was instantly awakened by Fluke.
“Right! It’s impossible for the mermaid king race to have a lower physique than other mermaids. In the weak deep sea, it’s impossible for a mermaid like that to become a king.”
“If that’s the case, why would a returning mermaid act so weak?”
Floco: [It’s probably because …… there are witches pressing down on their heads.]
Thor thought of Pearl’s deliberately destroyed mental body, and remembered how carefully Coral had tested him when they first met.
There was also the special mental fluctuation that flickered when he was observing the mermaid group deep under the sea.
Could it be that the change of heart that occurred at this masquerade was caused by the mermaids?
It wasn’t that Saul was arrogant, but with Saul’s current understanding of the mermaids, it would be hard for these guys to make any waves in front of the Judgment Court even if they used all of their minds, ah.
After all, they were absolutely suppressed in terms of strength.
“Unless they are not trying to rebel ……”
“Just want to run?”
“Take advantage of the coming black tide to escape the Red Sea and get rid of the Judgment Court’s control?”
“It’s just that there are people from the Ruling Court guarding them, even if they want to run, it’s not that easy.”
Floco: [Sol ……]
“What do you have in mind?”
Floco: [If the mermaids want to run, can you help?]
If the mermaids are all jumbled up, then being controlled by the Judgment Court is fine, and even if they run out, it might not end well.
But if the mermaids themselves have this in mind, Floco still hopes to see a more independent and free mermaid race.
Coming!
Thor’s eyes lit up, but his mouth said, “I’m sure I’ll be watched over by the Court of Judgment and won’t be able to help.”
Before Floco could say anything, he then added, “But Lord Floco, do you want to come over and join in the fun?”
Third shift! Awesome!
