Chapter 859 – A Race More Adapted to the Black Tide

Chapter 859 – A Race More Adapted to the Black Tide

Facing the flame attacks, Aquamarine subconsciously dodged, but all the attacks were stopped by the Black Fish alone.

When Aquamarine returned to his senses again, the outer robes of the Black Fish in front of him had disappeared, revealing his face.

The lower half of Mr. Blackfish’s lower body that revealed his appearance was no longer a fish tail with black scales, but a pair of normal legs.

But what surprised Aquamarine wasn’t the other party’s disappearing fish tail, but the other party’s appearance.

He turned out to be exactly the same as the sorcerer who experimented with mermaids.

No, Aquamarine shook her head and laughed bitterly in her heart.

Which was exactly the same, the other person was clearly Alfonso!
And the unconscious mermaid Alfonso was holding in his arms was none other than the mermaid princess with the highest bloodline concentration among their returning mermaids, Pearl!
The other mermaids behind them didn’t see Alfonso’s face because of the distance and angle, but they all recognized Pearl.

If it wasn’t for the fact that an enemy seemed to have appeared in front of them, they were afraid that they were about to pounce.

Aquamarine’s already not-so-intelligent brain was confused for a moment. He couldn’t figure out how Mr. Blackfish, who had been secretly helping them recover their mental bodies and devising an escape plan, had turned into Alfonso, the third-ranked sorcerer of the Court of Judgment.

But the scene in front of him didn’t allow Aquamarine to think too much.

He gritted his teeth and decided to continue to trust Mr. Blackfish.

In any case, Mr. Blackfish had been helping them before, and they had nothing to be taken advantage of.

Alfonso wasn’t alarmed despite revealing his features, and he even tightened the mermaid in his arms so that the pearl could lean more comfortably.

“There you are.” His voice remained low and firm, as if he hadn’t just been attacked.

The footprints on the opposite side of the room suddenly changed their bodies a little bit from low to high. It was like a transparent person showing its original face.

The person was Royer, who had just bid farewell to Saul and said he was going to patrol other areas.

Compared to Alfonso’s calmness, Royer’s face was cold and his gaze seemed to be able to kill.

“You still took this step.” Royer’s voice suppressed anger, “I don’t understand why you preferred to release this group of trash? Looking at you, you already guessed that I would follow you, so why did you still take the returning mermaids and escape?”

Unlike the agitated Royer, Alfonso had a calm face and even looked somewhat innocent.

“Then why are you staring at these dozens of returning mermaids and not letting go?”

“Hmph! No matter what kind of mermaids they are, they are an asset of the Judgment Court, not to mention that they must stay behind to clean up the pollution for the Red Sea Tree.”

“The number of mermaids in the Ruling Court is already sufficient, it’s not as bad as these dozens.”

“Whether it’s worse or not, it’s up to me, I’m the one in charge of the Red Sea Tree!” Royer’s voice was a bit loud, then he seemed to have realized that he was overly emotional and calmed down for a moment before saying, “I don’t care why you let the mermaids go when you know it’s impossible, but since I’m here, then you’re going back with me. It’s not a big problem, the court master will at most fine you ……”

Suddenly, Royer’s words faltered and he reached out to grab the mermaid pearl in Alfonso’s arms.

This was because he realized that Alfonso was actually only standing here to tell him so much in order to stall for time.

However, perhaps because Alfonso usually acted too honestly, Royer was still a step too late.

Before his fingers could even touch Pearl’s hair, a spatial force suddenly exploded from the person across from him.

“A carry-on teleportation spell?”

Royer hastily drew back so that a part of his body wouldn’t be taken away by the spatial teleportation spell.

Watching Alfonso and the few mermaids behind him disappear at the same time, leaving only the few mermaids at the very end of the group standing in bewilderment, Royer let out a cold snort.

“If this move you’re hiding is against me, then you might win, but ……”

A warm yellow light suddenly lit up on Royer’s body, integrating a beam of light that shot towards the place where Alfonso and a dozen mermaids had just disappeared.

The light distorted violently after entering that area, as if it was affected by the power of spatial teleportation.

However, although that warm yellow light was distorted, it did not disappear under the influence of the power of teleportation, and even destroyed part of the power.

Then, a figure that had originally disappeared stumbled and fell to the ground.

Surprisingly, it was Alfonso who had just teleported away.

Only the mermaid behind him and the pearl in his arms didn’t come back together.

Alfonso, who was lying on the ground, raised his head, his face losing its composure for the first time.

“Court Master, why are you here?!”

Alfonso’s lips trembled.

According to the original plan, Flim should be heading to the Wall of Sighs in stealth right now, preparing to kill Golza.

But how did the other party appear here?

Was stopping a few mermaids from escaping more important than killing Golza?

The warm yellow pillars of light merged into a ball of light.

Frim’s voice came out of it.

“I’m not completely out of Nephrite just yet.”

As Frim finished speaking, Royer tilted his chin and said in a loud voice, “Alfonso, the Lord of the Court has held off on leaving for your sake.”

Alfonso smiled bitterly and said, “A few mermaids, is it really that important? It’s worth the fact that you, the Lord of the Court, left a strand of your consciousness in Royer, and it’s worth the fact that Royer has been pretending that he doesn’t know and cooperating with my performance.”

Flim didn’t answer right away, but instead transmitted a message to Royer, “Those mermaids are in …… you go and bring back the pearls, and kill the rest.”

Alfonso shuddered and was about to say something when he saw Royer smile at him and turn to fly away.

Alfonso still wanted to chase after him, but just as he took a step, he saw the mass of light in front of him, and his sanity returned.

That’s when the mass of light spoke out.

“You’re asking me why I can’t let the returning mermaid go? I should be the one to ask you what else you’re hiding about the Returning Mermaid. If Royer hadn’t told me that your attitude towards the mermaids was wrong, I’m afraid that today, you really would have escaped by seizing the gap in the Black Tide.”

Frim lowered his head, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally spoke, “Lord Courtier, I’ve been studying mermaids for almost a hundred years, and I’ve discovered a fact that I don’t want to admit, but I have to.”

The light mass quietly listened to Flim.

“I found that the mermaids …… mermaid race is actually more adapted to this world than the sorcerers, this world that is threatened by the black tide and doesn’t know when it’s going to be completely extinguished.”

“They have an extremely strong natural resistance to the Black Tide, and if their spirit bodies weren’t intentionally destroyed by us during the reproduction process, with their numbers and abilities, they could definitely become an independent nation. Such an existence that could be developed to fight against the Black Tide forces, why are we only treating them as trash and expendable?”

“Honestly, the more I study it, the more I confirm one thing, if this world is near-totally wiped out because of the Black Tide, and there is only one race left, it will be the normal mermaid race!”

Frim listened quietly and didn’t interrupt Alfonso until the other man had finished and was breathing heavily.

“It doesn’t matter at all if other races, other forces, can adapt to the Black Tide. They just have to become material for the Court of Judgment to make Nefreet a living continent, that’s all.”

“You were mesmerized by the mermaid princess Pearl. I didn’t realize that I had already destroyed her mental body, but she was still able to rely on her instincts to charm you.”

Alfonso suddenly looked up with surprise in his eyes, “So it’s you!”
