Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 816 Coral

Royer clearly wanted to persuade him further, but Alfonso, who was standing to the side, had already stopped listening.

He suddenly stood up and raised his voice, "Royer!"

"Hmm?" Royer, still smiling, looked at his friend.

"Snapped!"

Alfonso suddenly snapped his fingers, and then Royer vanished without a trace.

He then told Saul, "I've moved Royer outside the lab. Regarding the experimental projects you're involved in, no changes can be made without the Lord's permission."

Thor nodded. "I know. Don't worry, I'm still more interested in mermaids right now."

Alfonso on the other side remained silent for three seconds.

"Hmm... Lord Thor, I do not recommend having physical relations with mermaids."

"Ahem!" Thor couldn't help but cough twice to defend himself, "Lord Alfonso, I was just joking with Wizard Royer."

Alfonso pursed his pale lips and nodded. "That's good. I can't really tell the difference between a real intention and a joke."

Thor clasped his hands together. "Understood. I'll try my best not to joke around in the future."

Alfonso nodded in satisfaction, then stood up. "Then let's go to the next place."

Didn't we just say that's all for today?

Thor stood up, puzzled. "Where are we going?"

"Go see the mermaids that interest you." Alfonso made a snapping motion with his fingers. "Relax, don't resist."

Thor blinked.

"Snapped!"

The two left the closed and busy laboratory at the same time and appeared on a small wooden boat.

They were now in a dark underground sewer.

However, with Thor's eyesight and mental strength, he could still see the dense moss on the rocks on both sides and the water droplets that kept dripping.

This narrow underground waterway has only one path over a long distance, and it looks like a man-made tunnel rather than a natural one.

"This is below the palace." In the darkness, Alfonso retrieved the iron chain that was attached to the stone pier next to the ship.

The chains rattled, and one end fell into the water with a "plop."

"I can only teleport within a certain area of ​​the palace. This is an ability granted to me by the Lord of the Court."

I don't know why Alfonso told Thor about the range of his power.

Thor rolled his eyes, then sat obediently inside the boat, one hand gripping the edge. "Ha, now I believe you and Wizard Royer are good friends."

"Um?"

"You remind me every time you teleport me, but you don't need to remind Roye. Obviously, you often throw him out, and he doesn't resist."

Alfonso remained silent and offered no rebuttal.

Although he didn't understand how the two of them became friends, Thor wasn't particularly curious.

He sat on the boat and watched as Alfonso lowered a circular instrument. Then, a motor-like vibration came from under the boat, and the whole boat shot forward like an arrow.

Alfonso's fingertip touched the ship, and a layer of black mist appeared on the hull.

Whenever the small boat crashes into the two rocks at extremely high speed, the black mist acts like a protective film to cushion the impact and correct its course.

The narrow waterway suddenly opened up after a sudden drop.

It appears that the waterway was man-made and entered the natural river.

The water flow here is more turbulent, with undercurrents that cause the small boat to rock from time to time.

The occasional stone pillars emerging from the water make navigation challenging.

Fortunately, the two people on the boat were at the point where they didn't take this challenge seriously, and they were still able to have a lively conversation with great interest amidst the background music of the "splashing" sound echoing throughout the cave.

With the help of the black fog, the small boat bypassed the stone pillars blocking its way, but had to be careful of the stalagmites overhead.

After driving for another half hour, light finally shone in from the front.

Thor was finally able to see normally again.

Outside the cave stretched an endless sea. Its shimmering waves reflected the fragmented image of the starry sky.

"It's perfect weather for a night stroll." Thor looked around. "Wasn't the southeast coast supposed to be covered with red sea groves? I can't see a single one."

Since Yongye intends to cultivate and control mermaids, it's impossible for him to build the palace on the northwest coast.

"The tide is coming in. The Red Sea Trees are now underwater. Mermaids live at the roots of the Red Sea Trees. But we're not going there today."

"Where to?"

"Some individuals in the mermaid population have shown signs of weakened resistance to the Kuroshio Current pollution for unknown reasons, exhibiting severe pollution symptoms and showing a tendency to spread. In order to control the pollution situation, I have isolated all the mermaids showing pollution symptoms on the shore."

The small boat changed direction and began to travel along the shore at a high speed, seemingly with no regard for the two people on board.

"DUANG!"

A few minutes later, the small boat came to a stop after hitting a large, dented rock. Thanks to the protection of the black fog, the hull remained undamaged.

Saul jumped off the boat, stepping onto the soft sand. "Your driving skills need improvement, I'm serious."

Alfonso did not answer, but instead directed the ship's chains to automatically attach to a large iron nail driven into a crack in the rock.

Then he jumped out, saying, "It's right up ahead."

Saul followed Alfonso, rounding a huge, house-like rock, until they finally saw a pool of water.

The pool was very clear and very deep. It had a terrifying feel to it, as if it could suck you in.

Thor was naturally unafraid of being sucked in; he had even been to the deeper parts of the ocean.

They also obtained a special marine rune at the time. However, aside from research, it hasn't been put to any other use.

"The mermaid is down there?" Thor stood at the edge of the pool, letting the waves soak the soles of his shoes.

He sensed a dozen faint mental fluctuations.

It wasn't the powerful fluctuations of a wizard, but rather a normal mental fluctuation that was even weaker than that of an ordinary person.

He looked at the side of the pool, which was swaying back and forth in the water. "Are they all hiding inside?"

Alfonso suddenly produced a handful of brown fragments and threw them into the pool.

The once clear pool was immediately churned up. From the depths of the pool, and even deeper, from places where even moonlight couldn't reach, mermaids emerged.

The ripples obscured their faces, their slender figures and swaying tails as they swam upwards in circles, creating a beautiful and refreshing scene.

As they got closer, their cone-shaped faces came into view, and reality shattered their illusions.

After careful observation, Thor discovered that although these mermaids looked strange, with faces more like fish than humans, they were at least more normal than the mermaid Kate was currently possessing.

They had long, dark green hair like seaweed, but no six breasts.

It looks a little more pleasing to the eye.

"Perhaps the wizard in Sky City made some secret modifications while raising the mermaids. Modifying their mammary organs—could it be for the purpose of clandestine reproduction?"

Just as Thor was comparing Kate's appearance with that of the mermaid in front of him, a fiery red suddenly appeared and caught his eye.

She was a unique female mermaid with long red hair. When she swam, her fine red hair bloomed in the water like a rose of the earth.

"Coral's here," Alfonso said softly, as if afraid his voice would frighten the timid mermaid in the pool. "She's a mermaid who has fallen back to her ancestral form, and her appearance is closer to that of the ancient Bluescale Clan."

First update. I'm going to eat now, I'll update the second chapter when I get back.
