Chapter 452 Transformation into Fish

Sander stared blankly at the small fish thrashing about inside the water sphere.

Well, after looking at it for a while, it actually seems kind of cute.

Thor walked over, looked down at the unusually active little fish, and smiled, "She remembers you and is very excited to see her brother."

Sander's throat bobbed, and he suddenly turned and walked into the bedroom, still holding the water balloon.

Saul heard a clanging and banging sound from the bedroom, and then Sander came running out again, carrying a water balloon in one hand and dragging his heavy, huge suitcase in the other.

He nearly lifted the heavy box into the air, and when it crashed heavily to the ground, the bottom wheel broke off and flew off, rolling away to who knows where.

Ignoring the damage to the box, Sander laid it down and then unlocked it with trembling hands.

The box lid opened, revealing a girl with disheveled hair inside.

Sander lowered his other hand, bringing the water balloon closer to the girl's body.

"Come back, Midor."

But the human-faced fish didn't react much; it just continued to swim happily in the water sphere, occasionally popping its head out.

"Come back, Midor, this is your body now," Sander said anxiously.

"You might have misunderstood," Thor said from the side. "Midor is dead, and the soul of the dead cannot return to the body. She is able to survive in this bizarre form only because of some special power. And that power has been cut off; the remaining energy can only keep her going for a little longer."

Sander looked up blankly, his lips trembling, and said, "But look, Midor's body is still intact. Legend has it that once a soul is found, it can return to its original body, right?"

"You know that's just a legend," Agu couldn't help but interject. "For ordinary people, the soul of the living is different from the soul of the dead. The moment she died, her soul was already broken and corrupted. Even if you forcibly resurrected her, the person who returned might not be the original her. You might as well cherish these last moments."

Agu looked at the strange-looking human-faced fish, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Thor looked down and noticed something. He squatted down and reached out to touch Midor's original body. "There was a kind of magic in Midor's body that kept her from corrupting. But now that power is starting to weaken."

His gaze shifted to the gold hair clip in Midor's hair. "Is its energy about to run out?"

Just as Thor finished speaking, Sander and Agu's gazes shifted to the hair clip on the girl's head. Suddenly, the golden hair clip transformed into a stream of light and entered the human-faced fish's brow.

The girl's body, now devoid of her gold hairpin, instantly turned into dark, withered bones.

"Midori!!!"

Sander watched his sister's body disappear and couldn't help but shout.

Over the years, his sister's body, which had not decayed in the slightest, had been his spiritual pillar. Now that it had suddenly turned into bones, Sander was devastated.

However, the next second, the little fish in Sander's hand leaped with all its might and completely broke free of the water ball. In mid-air, it twisted its body and swept its tail, striking Sander's nose.

Sander froze, the sadness that was about to erupt suddenly frozen awkwardly halfway through.

Saul laughed and said, "She's telling you that she's here, not there."

"Well... well..." Sander hesitated for a long time, then suddenly his shoulders slumped and his brows relaxed. "That's fine too."

He then looked up at Thor with a serious expression. "Should I buy a fish tank or something? What does Midor eat? Can she eat cake or fruit?"

Thor's expression also turned serious.

Mido, who was originally possessing the fish, did not need to eat.

Fish cannot provide energy to Midor, who is in a remnant soul state, by eating.

She won't survive for very long.

Even if we maintain the minimum consumption, it will only last seven or eight days at most.

However, after the golden hairpin entered the fish's body, the unstable soul inside the human-faced fish seemed to become much more stable.

"The magical structure inside this golden hairpin seems to be more complex than I guessed."

However, the magic on the hairpin has now taken effect on the fish, and it seems to be a magical tool for stabilizing the soul and body.

This sorcery item doesn't have much power; it can only target remnant souls like Midor.

It cannot restrain stronger spirits.

With the help of the hairpin magic item, Midor's spirit can continue to exist by replenishing her energy in some simple ways.

However, this energy primarily comes from materials used by wizards, which means it is expensive.

Judging from Sander's clothing and residence, he didn't have much savings at all.

Seeing that Saul remained silent, Sander also became nervous.

He seemed to have figured out the answer, and his face turned pale once again.

He opened his mouth, but dared not voice his guess.

Saul ultimately decided to let Sander make the decision himself.

After all, it was Sander who wanted to raise Midor.

"Midor's current state is unusual. Based on the rate at which her energy dissipates, she can maintain this state for about six months with the golden hairpin. But after that, she will completely dissipate."

Seeing that Sandra's body was starting to sway, Thor continued, "Unless you can replenish her energy regularly. But whatever the energy source, it's extremely expensive. You need to be prepared, or you might end up losing both her and your money."

Saul took out a pen and paper, wrote down a material and its approximate price in the air, then stacked two fingers together, pinched them with his thumb and forefinger knuckles, and handed them to Sander.

Sander looked down at his sister, who was playing carefree in the small water sphere, and gritted his teeth to reach out his hand.

Just as Sander was about to touch the white paper, Thor suddenly flipped his wrist and dodged the other's hand.

Sander looked at Saul, puzzled.

"What secret about Blue Water Bay did you mention in your letter? I want to see if what's on this piece of paper is worth it."

Wizards' knowledge is naturally very valuable.

Sander pursed his dry lips. "I've been making money lately by managing documents and files for the city lord of Bluewater City. Although they're just some unimportant records, I still look through them when I'm organizing them..."

"I found a record of entry and exit from the City Lord's Mansion," Sander said, lowering his voice instinctively. "I discovered that a wizard stayed at the City Lord's Mansion before Bluewater City was relocated, and he remained there even after other wizards left Bluewater City one after another."

These clues didn't seem to offer much insight, but Thor, remembering the broken goblet he had just acquired and still not knowing its original owner, quickly asked, "When did Bluewater City relocate?"

"About twenty years ago."

"But I remember you said it was more than ten years ago, and you came by boat."

"Yes, back then, Bluewater City had to move to a more distant, barren area near the neighboring city to prevent its residents from being killed by the soul tide. However, although Bluewater City moved, the docks remained for a while. It wasn't until nearly 10 years later that they gradually fell into disuse due to the almost nonexistent number of cargo ships entering the port."

"So, is there anything else suspicious about that wizard?"

"There's something else particularly suspicious. I checked the city lord's temporary travel plans and found that every time that wizard left Bluewater City, a soul tide would occur. And he would wait until the tide ended before returning."

Ahhhhh! !! !!

I finished writing it last night but didn't publish it!!!

I'm so sleepy!!!

My perfect attendance record!!!
