Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 846 Ambiguity

When the Black Tide arrives, a large number of corrupted and mutated monsters will emerge from the seabed, slaughtering and destroying everything in their path.

Although the Red Sea Tree of Eternal Night can absorb the pollution of the Black Tide, it has no resistance to monsters.

Therefore, the wizards' battlefront against the Black Tide was actually set up on the outskirts of the Red Sea Forest.

They need to kill the monster before it gets close to avoid causing significant damage to the Red Sea Tree and affecting its absorption of the Kuroshio pollution.

If the wizard Stuart is to remain until the Black Tide arrives, then he may also have to participate in the battle.

Currently, among the third-tier wizards in this eternal night, Thor is probably the only one who hasn't been assigned to combat missions.

When Stuart saw Thor, he immediately recalled his secret conversation with His Majesty Elo a few days ago.

Upon seeing Thor again, a complex mix of emotions flashed through his mind. However, he was always reserved and did not show it.

But Saul doesn't rely entirely on his eyes to judge people.

"Brother Saul," Penny carefully wrote in her diary, "this person's emotions change drastically when he looks at you!"

"Oh?" Thor immediately realized that Stewart might know something or be planning something against him, which was why his emotional state was different from when they were discussing issues a few days ago.

Thor and Stewart didn't interact much; the only time they discussed the Red Sea Tree was when they were together.

What did the other person know that caused such a significant emotional fluctuation when facing her, which even Penny noticed?

With so many people around, Thor temporarily put aside his desire to verify the information. Thinking of the mark he had deliberately preserved on his body, he decided to secretly follow Stuart after the experiment was over to take a look.

As long as you don't follow the other party to the Black Flame Emperor, you won't be discovered.

Seeing that Royer and Alfonso hadn't finished their whispered conversation, Thor stepped forward and started talking to Stuart, "Regarding the issue we discussed last time—that the Red Sea Tree is being completely suppressed by the Black Sea Tree—have you thought of any solutions?"

Stuart, looking for a topic to discuss, quickly chimed in, "Red Sea Trees and Black Sea Trees are essentially more like animals. Therefore, the innate bloodline tension between them is difficult to change through artificial domestication. My idea is, perhaps we could mimic the methods used on mermaids to partially disrupt the Red Sea Tree's instincts, maybe making it lose its instinctive fear of the Black Sea Tree?"

"The instinct to destroy the Red Sea Tree?" Thor considered Stuart's suggestion.

Although the other party lives on the continent of Neflet, they do not have much research on the Red Sea Tree.

While the Red Sea Tree's characteristics are more like those of an animal, it lacks a conscious soul as a whole. Breaking the instinct to fear the Black Sea Tree is extremely difficult.

If a mistake were to disrupt the fragmented consciousness of the Red Sea Trees, it could cause them to lose even their initiative to absorb pollution.

The Tribunal would certainly carry out humane euthanasia on them immediately to prevent the Red Sea Trees' survival from being affected.

However, Stuart's suggestion gave Saul more confidence in his original idea.

Thor also wanted to take advantage of the Red Sea Tree's instinct to fear the Black Sea Tree.

Stuart believed this instinct could be destroyed, while Saul believed it could be exploited!

The two discussed some more details about instinct, and then Alfonso returned with Royer.

Alfonso's expression remained unchanged.

Royer still had a smile on his face, but it wasn't as happy as before.

"Okay, let's begin now." Alfonso ignored Royer's mood and started explaining the experimental procedures to the three of them.

"...Currently, there is no way to prevent the infected mermaids from developing the disease. No, it's not that we haven't found a way."

The three were immediately intrigued.

"Have you found a way?" Thor was the most concerned among them.

Alfonso coughed lightly. "Actually, you all know this method, which is to separate the mermaids from the Kuroshio."

"Pfft!" Roye laughed exaggeratedly. "If the mermaids are isolated from the Kuroshio Current, how are we supposed to clean the pollution from the Red Sea Tree's roots? If the mermaids can't do these things, what's the point of keeping them?"

Alfonso immediately explained, "Currently, only the atavistic mermaids are showing signs of the contamination disease; other mermaids are unaffected. Therefore, I plan to use the pearl's power to summon all the atavistic mermaids in the Red Sea and then quarantine them. This way, we won't have to worry about a large-scale outbreak of disease among the mermaids during the upcoming Kuroshio Current contamination."

"Is this the last experiment?" Thor was slightly disappointed.

This shouldn't even be considered an experiment; it was more like a cleansing of the mermaid population.

In that case, there's no need for him to participate. He should go back and continue his own experiments as quickly as possible.

"Not only that, I also want to take this opportunity to experiment on the resistance of atavistic mermaids with different bloodline concentrations to the Kuroshio pollution."

Alfonso looked around at the three men and said, "So I ask you all to record data on multiple individuals together."

Just as Thor was about to agree, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small head peeking out from the edge of the deep pool.

He turned his head and saw the mermaid pearl, who had been brought out of the palace by Alfonso, looking at the four of them with great interest.

"Can I be responsible for recording the pearl's data?"

"Pearl?" Alfonso said immediately, "I brought her here to attract the atavistic mermaids in the sea. As the mermaid with the strongest royal blood, Pearl has a natural appeal to other atavistic mermaids. Although she can't do much else, she can still lure the mermaids out. So Pearl isn't participating..."

However, before Alfonso could finish speaking, Royer suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, interrupting him.

"Sigh! We're not going to kill this white-haired mermaid, we're just conducting a Kuroshio pollution experiment. Besides, isn't it perfect to let Thor be in charge? He's the best at treating Kuroshio pollution, so it's safest for him to keep track of it."

Stuart looked up at everyone, taking in their every move with his small eyes.

Alfonso was initially worried, but he couldn't resist Royer's joking yet forceful suggestion, and in the end, he could only glance at Pearl with concern and reluctantly agree.

Pearl, who had been staring at the four of them, met Alfonso's gaze and immediately gave him a sweet smile.

Subsequently, everyone began to carry out their respective tasks according to Alfonso's experimental procedures.

Alfonso first walked to the edge of the deep pool, then put his arms around the Little Mermaid's armpits and picked her up.

The Little Mermaid offered no resistance and obediently emerged from the water.

She looked at Alfonso, who was so close to her, and leaned closer with a big smile.

Alfonso also poked his head out, but he pressed his forehead against Pearl's forehead.

Their foreheads touched, halting Pearl's attempt to get closer. She stared intently at Alfonso, who was so close to her, as if she wanted to lean in, but her body was held back by a force, preventing her from getting any closer.

Thor stared intently at the two, sensing the spiritual energy emanating from Alfonso being transmitted through their foreheads as they touched.

It seems to be conveying a message to the pearl in a special way.

The pearl's spiritual body is incomplete. According to the analysis of the water god Froco, someone must have deliberately damaged the pearl's spiritual body.

This makes it difficult for her to understand other people's thoughts and commands.

Therefore, getting her to obey and luring out the atavistic mermaids in the Red Sea is not an easy task.

Alfonso has looked after Pearl for many years and seems to have figured out a way to communicate with her, conveying his orders more accurately to her mind.

This was supposed to be a very serious and proper matter. But Saul felt something was off when he saw Pearl looking up at Alfonso with excited, eager eyes.

The atmosphere between this person and the fish... is a bit ambiguous.

Suddenly sensing a violent emotional shift beside him, Thor didn't move his head, but glanced sideways at Royer, and was astonished to find that Royer's face had been contorted into a hideous expression for a moment.
