Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 831 Test

The Kuroshio Current is coming.

Thor immediately recalled the eye of the storm that had appeared in the No Man's Land.

Large amounts of black tides have also surged forth from there, and Thor has personally experienced the terror of it.

This made him frown deeply. "Does the tribunal have a solution?"

Sandy asked Saul to sit down, and then sat on the edge of the bed opposite him.

"You don't need to worry about that. The Tribunal has been fighting the Black Tide for so many years and has developed very comprehensive countermeasures," Sander quickly said.

He was afraid of scaring Saul away.

"Although each Black Tide attack causes enormous damage to the Red Sea Trees and mermaids, the Tribunal will also intervene. Before the number of Red Sea Trees drops to the warning level, the wizards will unite to resist the Black Tide and the monsters within it."

"Over the years, although the Black Tide has posed varying degrees of threat to Neflet, it has never truly breached the continent's defenses."

Seeing Sander's desperate attempt to explain, Thor raised his hand to stop him from continuing. "There's no need for that. I'm not afraid of the Black Tide. If I could, I'd like to see for myself what the Black Tide on the Neflet continent looks like."

Sand was imprisoned in the palace of eternal night, becoming a human blood bag. He only knew a general outline of what was happening in the outside world and was unaware of how Thor had single-handedly saved half of the No Man's Land.

Seeing that Thor said this, he went along with him, "Alright, if Lord Thor wants to see the Black Tide, I think the Tribunal will certainly not refuse."

Sander quickly changed the subject about the Black Tide, saying, "When Emperor Airo of the Black Flame Empire arrives, he will definitely meet with me for political reasons. At that time, I will ask him to return the Soul-Stabilizing Needle."

"Will the Black Flame Emperor return the token as agreed with your ancestors?" Thor conjured a black twig in his hand, spinning it like a pen.

"He definitely will. Because the Black Flame Emperor doesn't make promises lightly, but once he does, he will definitely keep them."

Positioning device?

Regarding the locator related to promises, Thor knew two directions: one was related to fate and cause and effect, like him; the other was related to contracts.

But regardless of the reason, the Black Flame Emperor would not easily break his promise.

Just as when Thor uses causality, unless he is willing to suffer huge causal backlash, he will never break his promise and destroy the already produced result after the result has led to the cause—if the "result" is destroyed by other factors, it will not backfire on Thor.

"The predecessor of Eternal Night made a wise choice." The black branch in Thor's hand stopped turning.

Sand breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Thor with anticipation in his eyes, "Then, Lord Thor, regarding my offspring... I have already arranged for a reliable person to enter the Eternal Night Palace, and afterwards, she will become the mother of my child."

Since Sander brought it up, Saul also told Sander about his preparations.

However, things didn't go as Sander had envisioned.

"I will give you a bit of mermaid blood so that you can have a special offspring."

"Mhm." Sander listened attentively, nodding as he listened.

"However, this child cannot be born."

"Huh?" Sander was stunned.

If his child cannot be born, what difference is there between him and having no offspring at all?

"But..." Sander began, but was interrupted by Thor raising his hand.

"Having offspring with the bloodline of the Merfolk royal family will only keep you in the position of a puppet for two more years. Once your health deteriorates and excessive blood loss threatens your life, the Tribunal will definitely drain you of your last bit of value, then support your offspring to the throne, and continue your fate."

Sander knew that what Thor said was true. Even if he planned to use his sister's special status and his remaining time to build a new power, it would only be seeking a safe haven in the shadow of the Tribunal wizards.

An ordinary person cannot truly solve the problem.

"Therefore, rather than giving you an heir, it's better to give you a powerful backer."

"A... a powerful backer?" Sander's eyes darted around uncertainly. He wanted a guarantee to regain worldly power, but he didn't want to cause trouble with Thor!

He was just a mortal who followed Thor into trouble; those great wizards could kill him with just a glance.

Even if they spared him for the time being in order to raise the mermaids, they would probably erase his consciousness and turn him into a mere blood bank.

...Just like the mermaid princess in the next room.

Living as a sample.

Seeing that Sander was already so shocked and terrified that he lost all control of his expression before he could even say anything, Thor was quite helpless.

He understood Sand's fear of wizards, but if he was content with merely surviving for a few more years, why would Thor risk helping him?

Saul offered neither an explanation nor any comfort to Sander.

What he was about to do, while not putting himself in opposition to the tribunal, still challenged the interests of a segment of the population.

If Sander doesn't have enough courage, he'd better find a different partner.

He watched Sander silently, the black branch in his hand beginning to dance and spin between his fingertips again.

Sander's forehead began to sweat, his attention unconsciously drawn to the branch that Saul's fingertips were dancing on.

That is?

He suddenly looked at Thor, "Black..."

He uttered the first word, but dared not pronounce the full name.

If Sander is not mistaken, this thing is taboo in Neflet!

How dare Thor bring it here?

Sander felt like his brain was about to stop working.

What should I do?

A blue butterfly flew past Sander's eyes.

Like an ice cube thrown into boiling water, it instantly calmed Sander's confused mind.

He took a deep breath, and the look in his eyes gradually hardened.

"Anyway, if I lose the bet, all I'll do is die. I have no one else to turn to for help. The Black Flame Emperor will keep his promise and return the Soul-Stabilizing Needle, but that's because he doesn't know that what he's keeping is the Soul-Stabilizing Needle. So he's only responsible for keeping it safe and won't do anything to influence the Tribunal."

"While Saul's words now conceal a dangerous signal, they also indicate that Saul has more ambitions than I do."

With his sister Midor's prompting, Sander finally realized the opportunity hidden behind the danger.

He jumped to his feet. "Lord Thor, whatever you wish to do, I will do my utmost to cooperate!"

Saul clearly saw the blue butterfly in Sander's eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

This time, Thor's real partner is actually Midor!

Only Midor, who survived in Bluewater Bay with the soul of an ordinary person and became a special spirit living in Sander's body, had the hope of controlling the third target created by Thor.

"Once you agree, there's no going back." Thor stood up and pressed the black branch in his hand against Sander's forehead. With just a little force, he could pierce Sander's skull.

"Midor, I'll take her with me first. As for her body, don't worry. I'll give her a body powerful enough to influence the entire Red Sea. All you need to do is draw everyone else's attention away from your sister during this time."

Happy New Year!!!
