Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 750 Black Sea Tree Source and Red Sea Tree Source

Bestana had intended to keep the answer a secret, but under the influence of the Death Wizard's Diary, she found herself revealing the answer before uttering the roundabout words that followed.

It's as if she's mentally unstable.

Thor naturally knew what Bestana was upset about.

The ability to answer any question on the black pages would certainly be unbearable for a proud third-tier wizard.

This is also why Bestana was so eager to leave.

Even within the black pages of the book, she had no need to worry about her soul being corrupted.

Thor didn't expose her embarrassment, instead asking, "I don't know much about the Black Sea Tree Source, only that the Tribunal has been investigating it. What's its connection to the Red Sea Tree Source planted in Neflet?"

By this time, Bestana had regained her composure.

[Actually, both the Black Sea Tree Source and the Red Sea Tree Source are new products derived from the modification of the Upside-Down Tree.]

They're all related to upside-down trees?

[Because the upside-down tree possesses an extremely strong sense of autonomy, only one can survive within a certain area. Therefore, the Court of Judgment, knowing this, did not take the upside-down tree away. However, in order to preserve it, I voluntarily divided it into branches for them to research new species.]

At that time, the royal family of the Eternal Night Empire in Neflet had already discovered the Black Sea Tree Source. Meanwhile, the Tribunal had discovered the Red Sea Tree Source.

The Black Sea Tree is more like the Upside-Down Tree; it has a strong sense of independence, but it won't rebel against its master. Furthermore, it possesses a powerful ability to absorb and process pollution.

The Red Sea Tree, on the other hand, better meets the Tribunal's requirements. It has almost no independent will and can be planted and cultivated arbitrarily. While it can also absorb pollution, its efficiency is lower than the Black Sea Tree, and it cannot process it autonomously. Once it absorbs a certain amount, it will release the pollution in a concentrated manner.

"These two types of trees have clearly different focuses, but they should be applicable to different scenarios." Thor stroked his chin. "Then why is the owner of the Black Sea Tree being hunted down by the Tribunal?"

Justin, who entrusted the Black Sea Tree Source to Saul's care, is dead.

Sol was worried that there were other problems with the Black Sea Tree source; although it was planted, it was not carefully cultivated.

They even partially sealed it here.

However, considering that this tree did not change at all after the Black Tide broke out, it truly deserves to be called the masterpiece of the Eternal Night Empire.

[Because where Black Sea Trees exist, Red Sea Trees cannot grow, and may even involuntarily become nutrients for Black Sea Trees. The Tribunal needs a large quantity of trees capable of absorbing pollution from seawater, but Black Sea Trees cannot reproduce in large numbers, thus failing to meet their needs.]

"I see. It couldn't satisfy their needs, and it would also destroy the Red Sea Tree Source they had worked so hard to cultivate. No wonder the Tribunal wanted to eliminate the Black Sea Tree Source. And the royal family, who had finally managed to cultivate the Black Sea Tree Source, was naturally unwilling to accept this, so the two sides went to war?"

[Eternal Night attempted to rebel, but Lord Frim wiped out the entire royal family with a single move. Only one or two people survived outside. Later, it seems other forces intervened and guaranteed that the Black Sea Tree Source would not appear in Neflet, thus halting the pursuit.]

"No wonder Justin managed to survive in the no man's land. But it seems he was eventually killed anyway."

Thor activated the defenses against the Black Sea Tree Source, revealing it for the first time.

"Now that the tree seeds have been planted, I can transplant the Black Sea Tree Source in before I leave and then pull out the seeds."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zao's tentacle tip twitched, then it lay completely flat.

After leaving the second basement level, Thor prepared to go see Claire.

Danger lurks everywhere in the no man's land, and the Black Tide pollution is ever-present.

It will probably take Claire some time to adjust to this place.

However, when Thor went to find Claire, he found that she was no longer in the room.

"Where is she?" Thor asked as he walked out of Claire's room.

"Miss Clare is discussing matters with Lord Byron on the third floor." Hope appeared at the fifth-floor stairwell at just the right moment. "Lord Tower Master, shall I invite Miss Clare over?"

"No need, I'll go myself." Thor waved his hand.

The witchcraft notes that Clare has been reading recently were recorded by Thor and Byron together.

Since Thor wasn't here, Claire must have gone to discuss it with Byron.

He walked down the stairs. Although there was a more convenient way to teleport, he still preferred to move around using his own body.

Hope followed silently behind Thor, and when they reached the corner, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "Lord Tower Master, how should we address Miss Clare?"

Thor stopped and turned back in confusion. "That's fine as a name."

He didn't understand why Hope asked that question, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Of course, you can ask her whatever she wants to be called."

Hope smiled and nodded. "I understand, sir."

Thor felt there was something more to the butler's smile, but he was still thinking about what he needed to arrange before heading to Sky City again, so he didn't think much about what the butler was saying.

Upon reaching the third floor, Thor turned left, and the butler bowed to his retreating figure before continuing downstairs.

I knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Thor pushed open the door and entered, seeing Claire intently staring at a container that was reacting.

Meanwhile, Byron was processing some materials on the other side of the room.

"What are you looking at?" Thor stepped forward.

"I've looked at your inerting formula. Could you please demonstrate it for me, senior Byron?"

The metal instrument was covered with countless fine silver needles, and a magic crystal floated above each needle.

Beneath the metal disc was sealed a small amount of black tissue.

As time went by, the magic crystals on the silver needles gradually turned black, while the black tissue underneath turned gray and became translucent.

Byron then walked over and used tweezers to remove the blackened magic crystal.

"This method can thoroughly remove pollutants from the body. However, Saul and I have discussed that if a Kuroshio Current like the ocean were to erupt, our method would be too slow. We might not be able to clean up the pollutants in time before we are submerged."

Keli nodded. "I understand. The rate at which the water is released can't keep up with the rate at which it's poured in. Sooner or later, the people in the pool will drown."

She only watched it once, but she memorized the entire process and even offered her own ideas.

"I discovered that during this experiment, the silver needles did not completely remove the contaminants. What is responsible for this energy transfer?"

"It's a kind of radiation that spreads in a way similar to pollution, or rather, a kind of wave," Thor said, leaning against the lab bench as he told Claire his idea.

"Radiation?" Claire bit her lip. "I also study radiation."

Byron put away the equipment and then threw the now gray, translucent tissue directly to Thor.

Thor reached out and caught it; the tissue melted into his palm and disappeared.

"What is that?" Claire screamed, grabbing Thor's hand. "Are you conducting human experiments?"

"Hahahaha!!" Thor burst out laughing.

Byron shrugged. "Claire, you can have Thor lie on the lab table anytime you need."
