Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 818 Hailan

Hailan and Coral are twin mermaid siblings. However, Hailan automatically mastered the ability to conceal his spiritual power from birth, so he was hidden away from the moment he was born.

Knowing that her sister's tail injury made it difficult for her to move, Hailan climbed out of the pool and, with the help of the slippery rocks, easily reached Coral's side.

He looked at his sister's tail and bit his lip with heartache.

"How much longer do you need to take that medicine?"

Coral covered her brother's mouth again, "Don't say anything, don't ask anything, it's none of your business."

This wasn't the first time Coral had rejected Aquamarine's concern.

Hailan felt heartache and guilt, but she also knew that it was best for the two of them not to tell each other what they were doing. Their meeting here was actually a very risky move.

If they were discovered by the great sorcerer Alfonso, they might not survive.

It doesn't matter if they don't survive, but it concerns the future of the mermaid race, so we can't be careless.

This meeting was only possible because Coral sent a long-awaited signal, which emboldened him to swim up from the deep sea to this secret base and reunite with his sister.

Suppressing her eagerness to know how each other was doing, Coral began to share her important discovery of the day.

"A wizard and a great demon came together today, and I sensed a very familiar aura on him," Coral said mysteriously to Ocean Blue in a low voice.

"A familiar aura? What do we have to be familiar with about these wizards? They're our enemies!"

Hailan wasn't interested in wizarding matters. Although due to his ancestral mutation, he and his sister were much more intelligent and spiritual than other mermaids, it didn't mean he possessed the same level of wisdom.

Mermaids, who have been hidden in the sea since birth, lack life experience no matter how intelligent they are.

Coral covered her younger brother's mouth again to stop him from speaking, and said solemnly, "Shh, I suspect that the newcomer... is also a mermaid, and has the blood of mermaid royalty."

Hailan's eyes widened.

He wanted to laugh, but felt it wouldn't be right to mock his sister.

How could a wizard be a mermaid?

Looking at his sister's tattered tail, his desire to laugh vanished.

"Whatever your guesses, don't do anything unnecessary. The more you do, the more mistakes you'll make. I'll confirm with Mr. Blackfish about the new wizard. When the time is right, we'll rescue the princess..."

Hailan stopped halfway through his sentence. He knew that although he hadn't finished speaking, Coral would understand what he meant.

Although Coral isn't very bright, the two have an exceptionally good understanding.

Coral understood perfectly. She also told her brother, "When the time comes, you can do whatever you want without telling me or worrying about me."

Hailan did not respond.

Every time they met, Coral would tell him not to worry about her, but Hailan had made up his mind that as long as there was even the slightest possibility, he would take his sister with him and not leave her alone to work alongside the cyborg mermaid as garbage collectors.

After a brief exchange, Hai Lan leaped back to the pool where she had been, passed through the narrow waterway, and entered the deep sea.

This is the nearshore area, and even the deepest waters cannot escape the entanglement of the roots of the Red Sea Tree.

However, tree roots in the deep sea are always sparser than those near the surface.

There are some invisible black particles in the seawater that disappear like smoke when touched.

This is the Kuroshio pollution mixed in with the seawater, something that wizards all over the world fear.

Hailan didn't know about the Eye of the Abyss, but he felt that since the merfolk could survive in polluted seawater, it meant that they were actually more suited to this world than humans or wizards.

If they can seize the opportunity to escape the wizard's control and stop wasting their lives meaninglessly cleaning up pollution for others, then the merfolk will surely rise to prominence in the future.

Just like the Azure Scale Clan of ancient times.

Mr. Blackfish taught him all this knowledge.

In Hailan's heart, Mr. Blackfish, though mysterious in origin, was the kindest person to them. He helped them survive in harsh environments and even helped them find a way to escape the wizard's control.

"Mr. Blackfish also exudes a strong royal aura... Could that new wizard really be Mr. Blackfish?" Hailan became increasingly hesitant. "If it is Mr. Blackfish, perhaps he can impersonate a wizard? Should we ask him next time we see him?"

Hailan gracefully swayed her tail in the water; a third of her silver tail was covered in blue scales. This was the most distinctive feature of their ancestral blue-scaled race.

As for Coral, Hailan's older sister, she actually has more blue scales on her tail, but she doesn't have Hailan's talent for concealing her spiritual power, so in the end, it was she who stood in front.

It shielded Hailan from all covetousness and scrutiny.

They were even willing to be tainted by that terrifying pollution in order to hide their existence.

Hailan squinted her eyes. Just because merfolk don't have tears doesn't mean they don't have hearts.

Passing through a shelter specially woven from tree roots and navigating through intricate underground crevices, Hailan arrived at a tranquil body of water.

In this sea area, there are more than twenty mermaids swimming freely.

Regardless of gender or appearance, they all share a common feature: their tails have some bluish scales, more or less.

Like a clear sky after rain.

That was also the hope of their merfolk.

……

Nearly ten days have passed since I received the mermaid research data from Alfonso.

These days, Thor has been holed up in his room reading books and doing simple verifications on Kate the Mermaid.

It is very efficient.

Today, he finally finished reviewing the basic data, so he took out the pollution sample he obtained from the mermaid coral and prepared to compare it with the Kuroshio pollution samples he had collected before.

Just then, the large water tank next to them suddenly splashed with a loud bang, and the mermaid's tail lashed out, splashing water all over the ground.

Thor turned his head and saw Kate, who had changed her expression and was leisurely lying on the fish tank.

He quickly looked around and then used magic to create a barrier.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things here while I'm out," Fromm said with a smile.

He was enjoying swaying his fishtail in the water. In Sky City, he couldn't even take a proper soak; all he could do was sit in a wooden tub where it was difficult to even turn over.

Most importantly, he was no longer in his mermaid form. Although his current mermaid body was terrible, he inexplicably felt nostalgic for it.

Thor relaxed slightly. Since even the water god thought there was no problem and he hadn't noticed anyone spying on him, it should be safe.

"I thought you wouldn't be coming back for a long time. After all, your situation is a bit more difficult than here."

When Fromm transformed into a water sprite and fought Ophelia fiercely, although he retreated in time when he was not in good condition, it still triggered Ophelia's thorough search.

So he's actually feeling really stifled right now, but he absolutely can't show it in front of Thor!

"I sensed your presence in contact with the bloodline of my descendants, so I took the opportunity to come and see. Have you already met the merfolk here?"

"We've only seen a small portion so far," Thornton paused, "and their current condition is much worse than I initially anticipated..."

Saul recounted in detail what he had witnessed and learned from books over the past few days.

Overall, the merfolk nowadays are like domesticated livestock, their value entirely dependent on the needs of the wizards.

Thank you all for your votes and tips!
