Chapter 800 – The Death of the Mermaids
Chapter 800 – Death of a Mermaid
For the rest of the trip, Saul kept his eyes on the lantern.
Tilight had performed more steadily than Sol in the teleportation, and with Sol’s mental power, the current probability that the only ones who could outperform him in terms of mental power were fourth-ranked sorcerers.
And a fourth-order sorcerer related to light and someone from the Court of Ruling, apart from the President of the Court of Ruling, Frim, Saul couldn’t think of anyone else.
The spatial variation finally stabilized, and the carriage stopped where it was, the driver outside was probably regulating his physical discomfort.
The super long distance teleportation array had a great impact on the human body and spirit, even though there were protective facilities in the teleportation array, Saul also felt some shock in his mental body during the long teleportation.
On the other hand, the lamp opposite to him remained stable, if not for the slight fluctuation of spiritual power that Saul vaguely felt on top of the lamp when the spell formation was activated, I am afraid that he would treat it as an ordinary item like the carriage.
“The court master personally came to pick me up?” Sol asked tentatively.
Recognized by Saul, the raptor’s light remained warm and steady.
Frim did not pretend to be absent, and a spiritual force was transmitted into Saul’s mind, automatically sounding a majestic and somewhat ethereal voice.
“The mermaids of Nephrite are not to be sold privately, and will be punished if found.”
Saul immediately returned, “I’m snatching this from someone else’s hands, and now going to Nefret is considered returning it to its rightful owner.”
Seeing that Tilanto did not say anything, Saul took this matter as just blurring over.
“The Lord of the Court wouldn’t have come just to want to fine me, right?” Sol continued to test the other party’s attitude.
Spiritual thoughts once again came from within the Tilight.
“You relied on yourself to suppress and seal the eye of the wind that almost erupted ……”
Hearing this Saul mentally raised his eyebrows, “It has been a year since this incident, could it be an excuse for the other party to bring it up at this time?”
If the other party moved their purpose to the surface, Saul was okay with targeting his thoughts, just like dealing with Ophelia with all his heart.
“…… I need to determine if there is any potential contamination on you.”
Saul immediately thought of the white bone at the fingertips of his right hand.
The contamination on it had directly “detonated” a third-order wizard.
Saul did not move, thinking that he had been with the lamp for almost a day, slowly pretended to ask in a daze: “Do you see any hidden contamination on my body?”
“There is almost no contamination specific to the Black Tide on you, so it’s even more suspicious. However, I will personally check for specifics when we arrive at Eternal Night.”
Personally?
The one in front of him wasn’t actually a person, it was more like an idea sent to it.
Regardless, whether or not he would go back to the Court of Judgment in the future, the fact that it wasn’t an actual fourth-order bigot in front of him was still a relief to Saul.
Having just run away from Ophelia, he didn’t want to immediately go up against another Fourth Order.
Moreover, the Court of Judgment and Sky City were not the same.
Because of the strength of the Ruling Court and the Stargate Council, Ophelia’s influence was mostly limited to Sky City, so it was impossible for her to chase Saul all over the world.
But if she really pissed off the Judgment Court, and no other Fourth Order came out to protect Saul, then she would have to accept the Wanted Orders and even Judgment Orders all over the world.
Thinking about the ruling order, Saul was actually very curious.
The wizards of the Court of Judgment had once taken a piece of paper with an order to kill on command, and the people they killed had no clear reason, so what exactly was the reason for them to issue an order of judgment?
It couldn’t simply be to exclude dissidents.
But it wasn’t good for Saul to ask directly.
He brought it up instead, “The coachman outside said that the destination this time is not the Court of Judgment, but the Palace of the Eternal Night King.”
It suddenly occurred to Saul, could it be that in order to travel to the Court of Judgment, one had to pass through the Palace of the Eternal Night King. Just like he was now returning to Stout just to go to the Nefret Continent.
However, Frim’s answer was completely different from what Sol thought.
“The reason for going to the Eternal Night King’s Palace is because there’s something I’d like to ask for your help.”
The Judgment Court actually had something to ask for my help? Sol’s eyes showed surprise, but he calmly asked, “What do you need me to do?”
“Please, Healer Sol, heal the mermaid clan that has been contaminated by the Black Tide.”
Frim emphasized the word ‘healer’.
Sol smiled, “So my reputation as a healer has spread to Nefret? Then I won’t be self-effacing, I do have some knowledge about the pollution caused by the Black Tide.”
“If you can solve the problem of the mermaids, the Court of Judgment will not let you labor in vain.”
After delivering this message, the warm yellow light in the carrying lamp suddenly disappeared, the entire interior of the carriage was pitch black, and Saul couldn’t feel Frim’s presence.
He pushed the carriage door open a crack and looked at the back of the driver.
“How is your recovery going?”
“Ready to go at a moment’s notice, Lord Saul.” The coachman immediately responded with a half-sideways turn.
Neither man mentioned Frim, who had just left.
“Let’s go then.” Saul snapped his fingers and used his illumination spell to make the carriage bright again.
He didn’t want to stay in a dark compartment until he entered the next hyperdistance teleportation array anyway.
Instead of taking off, the Pegasus carriage traveled smoothly over land, and it was clear that the teleportation array to the Nefertiti Continent wasn’t close to here.
Saul looked out along the door of the carriage that wasn’t completely closed, and suddenly felt that the scenery in the distance was somewhat familiar.
“What region of the Staat continent is this?”
“You should be very familiar with this place.” The coachman whispered, “This is one of the entrances to the Lordless Lands, the Dwarf Valley.”
Sol really wasn’t too familiar with the Dwarf Valley.
However, he knew that unlike the Elven Four Seasons Forest, which was located on the side of the world, the Dwarf Valley was located in the main world.
The valley had been deliberately remodeled by the dwarves into a nearly magic-free environment. Later on, without knowing what happened, the number of dwarves became less and less, and the surviving dwarves all left the Dwarf Valley, turning it into a dead land.
However, I heard that some people saw dwarves here, but the other party was in a very abnormal state, like walking corpses.
The witnesses at the time, because of their lack of strength and preparation, didn’t dare to go after them in the end, fearing that they would meet something bizarre and meet their doom because they couldn’t use their sorcery.
Saul was curious, but he never had the time to travel to Dwarf Valley to find out.
Right at this moment, the mermaid Kate who had been lying quietly across the room suddenly turned his face around, the expression on his face was very complicated, a moment of entanglement, a moment of bashfulness, as if he had suddenly gone schizophrenic.
Saul watched Kate’s expression change, and silently closed the half-open door of the car and applied a soundproof protective barrier.
“Kate, what’s wrong with you?” One of Saul’s hands had turned into a translucent gray tentacle, ready to go up and subdue Kate who was suspected of having problems.
Before Saul could do anything, the expression on Kate’s face suddenly turned completely bland, and wordlessly swept Saul’s arm.
Saul turned his hand back to its original form, feeling that the other party’s eyes were inexplicably familiar.
At this moment, the voice that did not belong to Kate rang out, “When the Dwarf clan was at its most glorious, they nearly turned the human race of this world into their slaves and workers, who would have thought that the current end would be on the verge of extinction.”
Thor marveled, leaning forward and approaching the mermaid.
“Are you …… Floco?”
The mermaid nodded calmly and said, “Although my strength has not yet recovered, at least I was once of the fifth rank, and it’s still possible to split a thought outside.”
The soul body that Saul split out could only serve as experimental material, and he had long been interested in Ophelia’s method of splitting her consciousness as well as Pei’er’s ability to leave behind soul fragments with her own consciousness.
He asked curiously, “How did you manage to separate the consciousness body as well? Is it the same way Ophelia created the split?”
Fluke shook his head gently, clearly much more skillful at controlling this body than Kate.
“It’s not the same, I can separate my consciousness into this body because this monster like mermaid still …… really has a trace of my bloodline in it.”
