Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 858 Reunion with Mr. Blackfish

After confirming that Alfonso on the seabed was a mirror image, Thor immediately noticed the unusual nature of the environment ahead.

There were faint magical fluctuations in the sea near Alfonso. However, with the battle still raging above, these magical fluctuations were hardly noticeable.

But Saul believed that if he got any closer to Alfonso, he would be trapped by the methods the other had set up.

Escaping will probably take some time, but getting injured or killed won't. After all, Alfonso wouldn't believe that he could kill other third-tier wizards with just one of his mirror images.

If Alfonso hadn't underestimated Thor's mental strength, Thor would have discovered that the person standing inside the magic circle was a real person before entering Alfonso's trap, and Thor would probably have wasted some time here.

Having grasped the situation, Thor didn't bother to examine Alfonso's plans in detail. He simply made a turn and flew towards the sea.

Now that both third-tier targets have left the coast, he has one target left.

"The mask that can't be removed... does it mean Stuart will die as the Black Flame Emperor?"

Alfonso had already left sometime earlier, and Royer said he was patrolling other areas. The two men had already gone far away, and Saul had nowhere to chase after them, so he might as well keep an eye on the people in front of him.

And most importantly, Thor's third objective also needs to be born in this place.

……

A deep pool by the sea.

Dozens of atavistic mermaids were once imprisoned here, with a dedicated sorcerer secretly watching over them every day. However, in the last two days, the Black Tide has struck, and to ensure that the frontline defenses are not breached, the sorcerers here have been reassigned, and only a confinement array is used to prevent the mermaids from escaping.

This confinement array can not only seal off deep pools, but also provide early warning when outsiders violently damage the array.

However, if the seal on the magic circle is broken in the correct way, the magic circle will not give any warning.

Simply put, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own household.

When the power of the Black Tide was waning, but it still held the attention of the vast majority of people, this deep pool was already empty.

The mermaid, who should have been staying in the deep pool, was now being led by a person dressed in a black robe and shrouded in black mist, walking through a narrow passage carved into a cliff.

Mermaids have no legs. Although they can walk on land with difficulty, they crawl like snakes using their tails.

Fortunately, the mermaid's scales are also very strong, so they don't fall off and cause injury due to excessive wear and tear.

But mermaids are, after all, a group that has lived in the water for a long time, and they still encountered all sorts of expected and unexpected difficulties on their escape route.

"Mr. Blackfish".

The mermaid Hailan, who originally had long blue hair, has now cut her beautiful hair to two fingers' length, which looks quite comical. However, no other mermaid in the group laughs at her because all the other mermaids are like this.

Including the mermaid coral that once amazed Thor.

"Mr. Blackfish," Hailan called out again.

Walking at the very front, Mr. Blackfish, shrouded in black mist, finally turned around.

"What's wrong?" His voice was low and deep, as if he was in a bad mood, but there was a firmness in his low voice.

"My sister's tail is starting to bleed. We need water."

The coral's already damaged tail now had several cracks, and blood was oozing out.

"It's too dry here," said another mermaid clinging to the coral. "Our skin is already starting to crack, and it will bleed if this continues."

Mr. Blackfish simply shook his head. "If you want to leave here, you must not have any contact with water."

"There's a sea, currents, and springs around here, but why didn't I take you by water? It's because they believe mermaids can't stay out of the water for too long. Only by avoiding the waterways can we avoid being caught."

Mr. Blackfish has actually said this twice already.

The dozens of atavistic mermaids behind them didn't actually only have a seven-second memory.

Instead, in their panic, they need to repeatedly confirm that their current escape route is correct and that their choice is not wrong in order to persevere in this extremely dry place and crawl with difficulty using their tails.

Seeing the weak coral, Hailan couldn't help but quicken her pace to get closer to Mr. Blackfish.

He whispered, "Sir, my sister's injuries are too severe. May I just use a small handful of water to moisten them?"

Mr. Blackfish turned his head and said in a very soft voice, "Hai Lan, do you remember what I once told you?"

Hai Lan was taken aback, trying hard to recall, "No matter what happens, we must leave according to plan..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, as if he had just realized what his words meant.

But just because he realized it doesn't mean he understood it.

"You, you want me to give up my sister?" In his excitement, he forgot to lower his voice and didn't even use a respectful term for Mr. Blackfish.

Strangely, Coral, who was not far behind the two, clearly heard Hailan's words, but remained calm and said nothing.

Hailan was unaware of the calmness of the person behind him; he only noticed Mr. Blackfish's silence and tried his best to speak up for his sister.

"Mr. Blackfish, my sister was the first to take the potion you made and contracted that terrible contamination disease. Only then were the experiments on the atavistic mermaids suspended and the atavistic mermaids no longer strictly guarded."

Seeing Hailan's excitement, Mr. Blackfish said nothing and simply continued forward silently without delay.

During the time it took Hailan to speak, she had already fallen several meters behind Mr. Blackfish.

He hurriedly chased after him again, only to see Mr. Blackfish suddenly turn around and glance at him.

His eyes were cold, as if he didn't care what he wanted to say.

Because of Hailan's talent for concealment, he has always been a very special existence among the ancestral mermaids.

Many tasks involving exploration, observation, and information transmission could only be carried out by him to avoid being discovered.

Therefore, the other merfolk usually regard him as their leader and value his safety the most. They would even sacrifice other merfolk to protect him from being discovered.

But today, on the run, Hailan suddenly realized that perhaps she wasn't the most important mermaid in Mr. Blackfish's heart.

Or perhaps they are important, but they have no say in it.

But Hailan didn't want to give up. He was willing to give up anyone but his sister Shanhu!

However, before Hailan could catch up with Mr. Blackfish and speak again, Mr. Blackfish suddenly stopped.

Hailan nearly bumped into the other person.

The lead blackfish stared intently ahead, where there was clearly no one, but there was a pair of footprints on the ground.

Following Mr. Blackfish's gaze, Hailan also saw the footprints.

He immediately shut his mouth and stopped bothering Mr. Blackfish.

Flames suddenly burst forth around the footprints, and the flames seemed to have a life of their own, spreading to Mr. Blackfish's feet as if they had a mind of their own.

wizard!

Hailan's eyes widened suddenly!

The fear that had seeped into his blood made him tremble uncontrollably.

He could only place all his hopes on Mr. Blackfish in front of him.

The black fish remained motionless until the flames reached its front, at which point it suddenly released a plume of black smoke, extinguishing the flames.

However, after the flames went out, they suddenly exploded again, as if a wave of heat from magma was rushing towards the black fish, instantly vaporizing his black robe.

The man, who had been hiding inside the black robe, was revealed.

There was also a unconscious mermaid being held tightly in the man's arms!
