Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 836 The Black Tide Conference (Part Two)

Saul noticed a small bump behind his ear, like a mole.

You may know it exists, but you're more likely to be completely unfamiliar with it.

When Saul observes the space of consciousness from the perspective of his diary, he discovers that there is a part of him that is completely different from his fate of death.

The factors that could have killed Thor were irrelevant to him; while the factors that could destroy the mark might even be beneficial to Thor.

After finding the mark, Thor did not destroy it immediately.

He pondered for a moment, then let it remain on his spiritual body.

Keep this mental energy mark; it might come in handy sometime in the future.

The trump card is something that should not be known to others before it is used.

When the diary is closed, the world returns to color from black and white.

Thor opened his eyes, detached from the consciousness platform, and returned to the council hall.

The parliament hall was bustling with activity, as lively as a market.

Although the wizard Alfonso beside him remained silent, his furrowed brows suggested he was also deep in thought.

What was originally a serious meeting between the two countries turned into a free discussion, which in turn piqued Saul's interest.

"What are you discussing?"

Before Alfonso could answer, Royer, who was sitting on the other side of Alfonso, turned his head and looked over with a bewildered expression.

"I'm truly impressed, Thor, that you'd actually start meditating in a situation like this!"

Thor didn't argue, but just looked around and said, "It's so noisy here right now. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

"How can you leave?" Royer laughed. "The matter we're discussing right now is very relevant to you."

He leaned forward, "Sol, I'm asking you seriously, are you confident you can cure the pollution on the mermaids? At the very least, you can't let the disease spread among the mermaids."

Rarely, Royer's face was devoid of a smile, and Saul also put on a serious face, answering earnestly, "Treatment is not a problem, but the difficulty now lies in prevention and transmission. I don't have rigorous experimental data to support my claims, so I can't answer how confident I am or whether I'm even sure. I can only tell you that I have some ideas, but whether they can be implemented still needs to be verified through my theoretical assumptions."

Both being wizards, Alfonso and Royer understood Thor's meaning.

Royer nudged Alfonso, who was sitting in the middle, with his elbow. "You, after studying mermaids for so many years, can't even solve a pollution disease."

Alfonso replied seriously, "My research on mermaids mainly focuses on bloodline fusion and mermaid modification; I am not responsible for treating diseases."

He even turned around and blamed Royer, saying, "In the past, whenever a mermaid got sick or had a health problem, you would just kill the mermaid and throw her away, leaving me no chance to train my healing abilities."

Royer was rendered speechless, as if it was because of him that Alfonso was unable to heal the mermaid.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Roye has always looked down on the merfolk race, considering them merely appendages of the Red Sea Tree.

There are many ways to solve the Kuroshio Current pollution that the Red Sea Tree cannot absorb, and raising mermaids is just one of the less energy-intensive methods.

Royer sat back down in his seat, looking sullen.

Alfonso finally remembered he hadn't answered Thor's question, and pointing to the murmuring crowd around him, he said, "The next Black Tide is heading towards the continent of Neflet. It's expected to make landfall on the southeast coast between two and three months from now. When the Black Tide arrives, in addition to intense pollution, it's often accompanied by completely mutated monsters."

Alfonso asked Thor, "You haven't seen the Black Tide monster yet, have you?"

Alfonso also studied Saul's experiences.

Saul nodded. "I've only seen some vague accounts in books."

"Yes, before ordinary wizards reach the second tier, they have no access to knowledge related to the Black Tide. Although you have some exposure, wizards who don't live in the Eternal Night or the Wall of Sighs basically never see Black Tide monsters."

"Right now, we're discussing coastal defense. The entire southeast coastline is very long, and once the Kuroshio Current arrives, wizards will be needed to guard every few kilometers. If a Kuroshio monster appears, we'll have to mobilize the nearest Tier 3 wizards to provide support. So, how to allocate the guard areas and how to allocate Tier 3 wizards are things that need to be discussed carefully."

Just as Alfonso was explaining, two wizards arrived together.

They looked reserved, each holding a piece of parchment.

"Lord Royer," one of them mustered his courage and stepped forward, "we would like to request permission to inspect the area under your jurisdiction."

Royer had just been rebuffed by Alfonso and wasn't in the mood. "Just submit your applications to the Royal Laboratory. I don't have time right now."

The two wizards were surprised that Royer didn't even give them a chance to introduce themselves. They exchanged a glance, and ultimately didn't dare to stay when the third-tier wizard chased them away. They could only leave with disappointed faces.

Thor found it amusing and asked Alfonso, "Why didn't they ask you? Do they look down on you, a third-tier wizard?"

As expected, Alfonso gave a serious and earnest reply, "I am responsible for monitoring the mermaids' situation and will not participate in combat."

"When the Kuroshio Current arrives, the pressure on the Red Sea Tree to absorb pollution increases dramatically. It is essential to ensure that the mermaids quickly devour the stems, and to promptly remove the corpses should any mermaids undergo mutation."

"It seems that every time the Kuroshio Current arrives, a large number of mermaids die."

Alfonso nodded. "Yes, I've been researching how to make mermaids' bodies more resistant to pollution. At the same time, we need to improve their reproductive capacity to ensure that there are always mermaids available to replenish their numbers."

Sure enough, even Alfonso, who didn't despise mermaids as much as Roye did, conducted experiments primarily aimed at sacrificing the mermaid race to protect the Red Sea Tree.

Fortunately, mermaids aren't very intelligent, otherwise who would be willing to become a cleaner for the Red Sea Tree?

At the most critical moment, they were still the first to be abandoned.

Saul's curiosity was satisfied, and he looked around the rest of the council hall.

He soon noticed the wizard Stuart sitting diagonally opposite him, also in the first row.

Stuart curled up into a small ball, sitting to the left of the Black Flame Emperor. Beside the powerful Black Flame Emperor, he was as quiet as the other's shadow.

The second and third-tier wizards opposite were busy exchanging ideas, while the Black Flame Emperor sat expressionless, and Stuart stared back and forth with his small eyes.

It was completely out of place with the lively discussion on the other side.

Like Thor, he seemed indifferent to the matter.

While Thor was observing the other person, the person opposite him was also paying attention to Thor.

This is the only one who is neither a member of the Tribunal nor even a wizard from the continent of Neflet.

Emperor Black Flame, Ailo, noticed the unusual movement of the person beside him and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"

Stuart withdrew his gaze and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am looking at the physician invited by the Tribunal, the new master of the No Man's Land."

"Why would the master of the No Man's Land not stay there, but instead go to the Eternal Night?"

Stuart recalled the intelligence he had received, "It must be because he is very knowledgeable about the eye of the storm and the Kuroshio pollution."

The smile on Ai Luo's lips vanished in an instant.

"Really? How about we make a bet that Frim didn't call them over for that reason?"

Stuart lowered his head. "You must be right."
