Chapter 831.
Chapter 831 The Examination
The Black Tide is coming.
Sol immediately recalled the eye of the wind that appeared in the Land of No Man.
A large amount of black tide had also gushed out there, and Saul had experienced the terror of it.
This caused him to frown tightly, “Does the Court of Judgment have a way to deal with this?”
Sandy invited Saul to sit down and then sat on the edge of the bed opposite him.
“You don’t have to worry about this, the Judgment Court has fought against the Black Tide for so many years, it already has very well developed countermeasures.” Xander said in a hurry.
He was afraid of scaring Saul away.
“Although every time the Black Tide comes, it will cause great damage to the Red Sea Trees and the mermaids, the wizards will unite to resist the Black Tide as well as the monsters in it before the number of Red Sea Trees drops to the alert line as well as the Court of Ruling will also step in.”
“Over the years, the Black Tide has posed varying degrees of threat to the Nephrite, but it has never really broken through the continent’s defenses.”
Looking at Xander’s desperate attempt to explain, Saul raised his hand to stop him from continuing, “There’s no need to do that, I myself am not afraid of the Black Tide, and if I can, I would like to go and see with my own eyes what the Black Tide on the continent of Nefolite is like.”
After all, Xander had been locked up in the palace of Neverwinter Nights as a humanoid blood bag, and only knew a general idea of what was going on in the outside world, and wasn’t clear on how Saul had managed to save half of the land of the Lordless with his own strength.
When he saw Saul say that, he followed his words, “Alright, if Lord Saul wants to go and see the Black Tide, I think the people of the Court of Judgment will definitely not refuse.”
Xander hurriedly brought the topic of the Black Tide over, “When the Emperor of the Black Yan Empire, Ai Luo, arrives, he will definitely meet with me out of political necessity, and I will ask him to return the Soul Pin at that time.”
“Will the Emperor of the Black Flame return the token as agreed with your ancestor?” A black branch changed in Saul’s hand and kept spinning in his hand like a spinning pen.
“It definitely will. Because of the locator of the Emperor of Black Flame, he doesn’t promise easily, but if he promises, he will definitely do it.”
Locator?
The locator related to promises, Sol knew two directions, one was like him, related to fate and karma, and the other was related to contracts.
But whichever it was, it was true that the Emperor of the Black Flame would not easily break his promise.
Just like when Saul used the theory of cause and effect, unless he was willing to suffer a huge karmic backlash, he would never break his promise to destroy the fruit that had already been produced after using the fruit to lead to the cause – if the “fruit” was destroyed by other factors, it wouldn’t backfire on Saul.
“Eternal Night’s predecessor made a wise choice.” The black branch in Sol’s hand stopped turning.
Xander breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and looked at Saul with anticipation in his eyes again, “Then Lord Saul, regarding my heir …… I’m already arranging for a reliable candidate to enter the Neverwinter Nights Palace, and after that, she’ll become the mother of my child.”
Since Xander mentioned this matter, Saul also told Xander about his preparations.
It’s just that things didn’t go quite the same as what Xander had envisioned before.
“I’ll give you a bit of mermaid bloodline so you can have a special heir.”
“Uh-huh.” Xander listened intently, nodding as he did so.
“But this heir can’t be born.”
“Huh?” Xander froze.
If his child couldn’t be born, what was the difference between that and not having an heir.
“But ……,” Xander was in mid-sentence when he was interrupted by Saul raising his hand.
“Having an heir with the bloodline of the mermaid royal family will only allow you to stay in the position of a puppet for two more years. When your body gets worse and worse, and the massive bloodletting will already pose a threat to your life, the people of the Court of Judgment will absolutely drain you of your last use, and then support your heir to the throne of the emperor, and then continue your fate.”
Xander also knew that what Saul said was true. Even if he intended to utilize his sister’s specialness and his own last moments to create a new power, it was just a way to seek a peaceful home under the shadow of the Judgment Court’s wizards.
An ordinary person couldn’t really solve the problem. “So instead of giving you an heir, I’ll give you a backer.”
“Backing, backing?” Xander’s eyes wandered, he wanted a guarantee that he would regain control of worldly power, but not to follow Saul in trouble ah!
He was a mere mortal following Saul and those great sorcerers would be able to kill him with a single look.
Even if they didn’t kill him for the time being in order to raise mermaids, I’m afraid that they would just erase his consciousness and make him a mere blood bank.
…… The same as that mermaid princess in the next room.
Living as a sample.
Seeing that he hadn t even said anything yet, the opposite side of Xander was already so shocked and fearful that he had lost his expression management, Saul was also quite helpless.
He understood Xander’s fear of wizards, but if he was only content to live on for a few years, why would Saul risk helping him?
Saul did not explain, nor did he comfort Xander.
What he was going to do next was not so bad as to put himself on the opposite side of the Judgment Court, but it was still considered provoking a part of the people.
If Xander didn’t have enough courage, then it would be best for him to change his candidate for cooperation.
He quietly watched Xander as the black branch in his hand began to fly and turn in his fingertips again.
Xander’s forehead began to sweat as his attention was unconsciously drawn to the branches flying around Saul’s fingertips.
What was that?
He looked over his shoulder at Sol, “Black ……”
The first word was uttered, but he didn’t dare pronounce its name in full.
If Xander’s guess was right, this thing was forbidden in Nefertiti!
How dare Saul bring it here?
Xander felt like his brain was going to stop spinning.
What to do?
A blue butterfly flew past Xander’s eyes.
It was like ice thrown into boiling water, calming Xander’s disoriented mind.
He took a deep breath and the look in his eyes gradually became resolute.
“It’s just a death if I lose the bet anyway. I have long since run out of other people to ask for help. The Emperor of Black Flame will keep his promise to return the Soul Stabilizing Needle, but it’s also because he’s not aware that the thing in his custody is the Soul Stabilizing Needle. That’s why he’s only responsible for keeping it and won’t do anything to affect the Judgment Court.”
“Now what Saul said hides a danger signal, but it also shows that Saul is scheming for more than me.”
Under the reminder of his sister Midol, Xander finally realized the opportunity hidden behind the danger.
He stood up with a flourish, “Lord Saul, whatever you want to do, I will do my best to cooperate!”
Saul clearly saw the blue butterflies in Xander’s eyes and smiled with satisfaction in his heart.
This time, the real object of Saul’s cooperation was actually Mithril!
It was also only Midori who had struggled to survive in Blue Water Bay with an ordinary human soul and become a special spirit body, and who had survived in Xander’s body that she could hope to harness the third target that Saul had created.
“If you agree, there’s no chance of backtracking.” Saul rose and held the black branch in his hand against Xander’s brow, able to pierce his skull with a little force.
“Midol, I’ll take it away first, as for her body, you don’t have to worry, I’ll give her a body that is strong enough to influence the entire Red Sea. You just need to be responsible for drawing away the attention of the others for your sister during this time.”
Happy New Year’s Day!!!
