Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 814 The Poor Emperor

The merfolk were in dire straits, and Sander, standing before them, seemed to have his own unspeakable grievances.

Alfonso tells Thor about the value of the Night Emperor's existence.

"After extracting the bloodline of the mermaids, in order to better control them, the predecessors of the Tribunal extracted the bloodline of the royal family among the mermaids and integrated it into the descendants of the Eternal Night royal family."

Alfonso looked at Sand, who was sleeping peacefully, and said, "Control the mermaids by controlling the royal family. Of course, in return, the Tribunal will guarantee the status of the Eternal Night Royal Family."

"But didn't you say that Sander is the only one left in the royal bloodline?" Thor found it amusing. The status of the Eternal Night royal family hadn't changed, but there were only a few of them left.

"Yes." Alfonso frowned, clearly troubled by the matter as well. "Perhaps it's a curse, perhaps it's fate, but the once prosperous and numerous Eternal Night royal family began to decline sharply after receiving mermaid blood. Even with the Court Master's personal intervention, the decline in royal family members could not be stopped. Now, apart from Alexandra, no one else in the entire royal family still possesses mermaid royal blood."

"So, the main reason you called me here is..." Thornton paused, something about which seemed off, "to get Sandra to have a child?"

Alfonso even nodded. "That explanation works too. The next experiments will be mainly handled by the two of us. Our initial conclusion is that Alexandra has not had any children because the mermaid royal bloodline in his body is too diluted. Although he can still appease the mermaids for now, he cannot pass on his bloodline to his offspring."

"So we plan to take out the remaining mermaid royal bloodline and fuse it into other people's bodies again to see if we can create a new royal family."

Note the change in Alfonso's pronouns: "By merging into someone else's body, are you planning to abandon Sander?"

"Yes, the current Eternal Night royal family is unable to undergo a second bloodline fusion. Of course, if Sander can have offspring with sufficient bloodline concentration before the birth of a new royal family, then we will allow him to continue as emperor."

Oh, poor Sander.

Even after being brought back by Eternal Night, she was only used as a breeding tool. Not only that, but she was also a backup breeding tool.

"You just said that the Eternal Night Royal Family needs to appease the Merfolk. How do you plan to appease them?" Thor asked.

This time, Alfonso paused for a moment, then said, "His blood can soothe the mermaid."

Suo Ran couldn't help but glance at Sander, who was still fast asleep. Judging from his pale and weak appearance, it was certainly impossible for him to participate in politics.

However, in order to better continue the family line, indulging in excessive luxury is certainly not advisable.

What a... pitiful emperor.

Regardless, Thor had a good impression of Sander, and he stood up to ask, "If the Tribunal creates a new royal family, what will become of Sander?"

Alfonso nodded slightly. "Since you know Alexandra, you can let him change his noble status and live in seclusion in the countryside."

This means that if Saul doesn't intend to save Sander's life, the tribunal will most likely not spare his life.

It's very likely that they didn't want two royal families to exist in the world at the same time, as that would affect the Tribunal's control over the merfolk.

Even if they agree to let Sander go to the countryside to live in seclusion, they will definitely send people to watch over him, so that he can only spend the rest of his life in the same place.

Knowing that Thor understood his meaning, Alfonso stood up from the sofa. "I've explained the situation here enough. I'll take you to the Bloodline Research Lab. The Merfolk are on the coast; we need to use a teleportation array. We'll go there tomorrow."

Thor readily agreed, but before leaving, he went to the sleeping Sander's side first. "Mind if I take some of his blood to study back home?"

"Of course, you can start the experiment now."

Alfonso raised his hand, indicating that Saul should do as he pleased.

Thor took small amounts of flesh and blood tissue from both the veins and arteries, and then followed Alfonso away from the Night Emperor's palace.

Long after the two left, Sander slowly opened his eyes. His expression was clear, not at all like someone who had just woken up.

Suddenly, a blue butterfly appeared in the pupil of his right eye, fluttering lightly within his eyeball.

"Midor," Sander whispered, "do you think we can still ask him for help?"

The blue butterfly flew to the edge of the right eye and disappeared, then quickly reappeared in the left eyeball.

"I see."

The two communicated in silence.

Sander closed his eyes again, without changing his posture.

He knew that after a certain time, someone would wake him up so he could go to his bedchamber to rest.

After all, the servants here were very concerned about his health.

At this moment, Thor, who had left the palace, followed Alfonso and teleported to another location.

This place is completely different in style from the desolate royal palace.

Everywhere you look, you can see busy Tribunal wizards. Some are conducting experiments with various instruments, some are observing and taking notes, and others are engraving different miniature spell circles...

After Saul followed Alfonso in, no one greeted them; everyone seemed too busy to do anything else.

Alfonso made no attempt to introduce Saul, and led him straight to the innermost part of the house.

As Thor walked and observed, his current knowledge allowed him to easily discern what experiments the wizards were conducting.

In his view, the experiment of fusing merfolk bloodlines is probably still in its early stages. A general design concept has not yet been developed.

However, Thor wouldn't offer advice without understanding the full picture.

The two entered a private laboratory.

There are wizards guarding this place, but no one is conducting research experiments; clearly, this is Alfonso's private laboratory.

"Have a seat first." Alfonso casually gestured, then walked to the wall at the far end of the room.

An alien magic circle was inscribed on the wall, which looked like a combination of a parallelogram and a moon.

This was the first time Thor had ever seen such a combination of magical arrays, and he immediately began to observe it with great interest.

Alfonso felt Thor's gaze but didn't avoid it, reaching out to draw two complex runes on the magic circle.

After the illustrations and text were completed, the entire magic circle lit up.

Alfonso stretched his arm directly into the wall. When he pulled his arm out, there were two test tubes in his palm.

One of the test tubes was filled with a clear, transparent liquid, with a small, dark blue sphere suspended in the center of the liquid.

The other test tube contained a small amount of dark red liquid, which only covered the bottom of the test tube.

Alfonso pointed to the test tube containing small blue spheres and said, "This is a bloodline fusion agent; this amount will be enough for about three uses. The other one is the merman royal bloodline that the Court Master gave me, which can also only be used three times. Therefore, before we officially begin the experiment, we must prepare the preliminary work thoroughly to avoid any waste."

Thor looked at the dark red liquid, a thought struck him, and he blurted out, "Could I have a sample of the Merfolk royal bloodline to take back and study?"
