Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 827, First Step, Completed

Saul's answer seemed to say something, yet it also seemed to say nothing at all.

Alfonso opened his mouth, but ultimately did not ask any further questions.

He knew that Saul wouldn't tell him even if he asked again.

If he discovers what Saul has done, Saul will confess; but if he doesn't discover it, Saul won't explain.

The current situation is that he really can't tell whether Thor did anything to the pearl.

Alfonso paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I just wanted to remind you that pearls are rare mermaids and shouldn't be wasted."

This time, even Saul, who didn't care much, couldn't help but look up at Alfonso.

He thought to himself, "Alfonso really values ​​the Little Mermaid. Could there be some other value in the pearl that I haven't discovered yet?"

Alfonso stood there, momentarily at a loss for what to do, and simply asked Saul, "How's your preparation going? Can we begin the treatment?"

Saul did not answer immediately. The crucible in his hand was burnt and emitted a pungent smell, with a clump of black substance stuck to the center of the bottom.

Thor carefully scooped the black substance from the bottom of the pot into a clean petri dish using a scraper.

After sealing the petri dish and cleaning the crucible, Saul straightened up and said, "We can begin the first experiment now. In fact, I've been waiting for you to show up."

Alfonso understood why Thor was waiting for them.

This is an unspoken agreement between the two parties.

"Let's go. We'll go to the coral reefs," Alfonso said to Thor. "Just bring the materials you need and let me know."

Thor successfully stored his research from the past few days in a storage device, and then brought Kate in her mermaid form along with him.

Alfonso looked at the mermaid, who was being led around like a balloon by Thor and was dressed in a black cloak, and couldn't understand why Thor valued this ordinary mermaid so much.

Alfonso also values ​​Pearl, but Pearl is a mermaid princess with the most authentic bloodline.

And the pearls... are quite beautiful.

But Thor certainly wasn't for the same reason.

The mermaid that Thor brought was uglier than most mermaids in the Red Sea, and it also showed obvious signs of being heavily modified.

"Does Thor want to create a new mermaid race?" Alfonso's eyes flickered, feeling that this matter could be reported to the Lord of the Court.

But he didn't ask any more questions at the moment. Instead, he took Thor back to the underground waterway, boarded a magic boat, and soon arrived at the seaside pool where the corrupted mermaids were imprisoned.

Seeing Alfonso use some brown debris again to lure the mermaid hiding in the deep pool to the surface, one wondered, "Are these brown debris the roots of the Red Sea Tree?"

Alfonso nodded. "Yes, but it's the rootstock that hasn't been stored due to the Kuroshio contamination."

These contaminated mermaids are now most afraid of the Kuroshio Current, so they cannot be fed with roots and stems that have been contaminated by the Kuroshio Current.

"Do these merfolk eat other things as well?" Thor asked.

"Yes, the roots of the Red Sea Tree are essential, but these roots cannot provide the minimum energy required for the mermaids to survive, so they also catch fish and shrimp to eat."

Thinking of the merfolk he'd seen lying lazily on the Red Sea seabed last time, Thor guessed, "But you usually only give them small amounts of food, leaving them with no energy to move around, right?"

Alfonso's lips curled slightly. "Royer believes that mermaids don't need any other activities. They just need to absorb pollution and then obediently reproduce and die."

At that moment, a brilliant red appeared in Thor's eyes. Coral once again floated to the surface of the water, her red eyes fixed on Thor, scrutinizing him curiously.

Thor lashed out a tentacle that pierced the water like lightning, pulling the mermaid coral directly from the sea to the shore.

However, he was gentle; although fast, he handled things with care. By the time Coral realized what was happening, she was already sitting on a smooth rock, her half-rotten tail dangling to the side.

Thor raised his hand and conjured up a huge experimental table, with shelves filled with various instruments and medicines.

Thor lifted the coral from the reef and carried it onto the lab table in a princess carry.

The cold lab bench made Coral flinch, then she curiously reached out to touch it.

This grayish-black thing seemed even colder than the deep sea.

Thor didn't let Coral's curiosity run wild. He stepped forward and used a belt buckle to secure Coral's arms, neck, and tail. Then he reinforced them with magic.

Alfonso stepped forward and watched from the side. "Do you need my help?"

"Of course, you can help me record the experimental data."

Thor first used his mental power to thoroughly examine Coral's body and found that the pollution in her body was mainly concentrated in her tail, which was also the most severely decayed part.

After the examination, Thor's hands transformed into translucent gray tentacles and were placed on the coral's rotting wounds.

Soon, some black substance emerged from under the pale wound and was sucked into Thor's tentacles.

The terrifying black tide pollution, after entering Thor's tentacles, did not begin to spread and have a detrimental effect as it would when it entered other people's bodies. Instead, it was obediently wrapped in translucent skin, as if it had turned into some black sand.

Seeing Thor make his move, Alfonso narrowed his eyes slightly.

It was the Lord of the Court's decision to invite Thor to treat the mermaid pollution, but the Lord of the Court also specifically instructed Alfonso that what was more important than treating the mermaids was figuring out how Thor was fighting the Kuroshio pollution and treating the patients.

Thor, who is capable of independently sealing the eye of the Black Tide, has long surpassed the value of an ordinary third-tier wizard.

It took Sol an hour to completely remove the contamination from the coral's tail.

Then he began to extract the contaminants from other parts of the coral's body.

The coral, tightly bound, gradually blushed. She felt as if the suckers on her tentacles had turned into the mouths of small fish, nibbling at every inch of her skin, seemingly sucking something away, but leaving no wounds.

It didn't hurt, but it was very itchy. So itchy that she just wanted to roll around in the sand.

However, the rotting wound on his tail doesn't hurt as much as before.

Another half hour passed before Thor retracted his tentacles.

Alfonso stared at Thor's tentacles, watching as the black substance inside was gradually forced to the tips of the two tentacles.

Once all the black substance had concentrated at the tip of the tentacle, the limb detached automatically and fell into a sealed bottle that Thor had prepared beforehand.

Thor's tentacles transformed back into hands, and he put the sealed bottle away, showing no intention of sharing it with Alfonso.

Subsequently, the two third-tier wizards activated the testing equipment to retest the contamination within the coral.

The instrument showed that the pollution level had dropped significantly, even below the safety warning line for ordinary people.

"The first step, the pollution has been cleaned up." Alfonso recorded truthfully, but his hands trembled slightly with excitement.

Cleaning up the pollution was originally the first and perhaps the most difficult hurdle in the fight against the Black Tide.

But in Saul's eyes, it became a sentence written on paper.

Although it's not very efficient, it's extremely safe.

If such methods could be used on high-ranking wizards, Thor would become the most popular healer in the entire wizarding world!
