Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 871 Thor's Method

"What do you mean?" Thor broke free from Royer's grasp and plopped down on the ground.

He was so tired that all he wanted to do was lie down, but he was mindful of the reputation he had just gained, so he only sat down and didn't lose his composure.

Seeing this, Royer also stopped putting on airs and sat down next to Thor, who looked dejected and in low spirits.

"Is Alfonso dead?" he asked rhetorically.

"Hmm, it attracted most of the Black Tide monsters, leaving them all dead..." Thor paused, then continued, "You died too? Were you resurrected?"

Thor remembered that the Tribunal forbade wizards below the second rank from conducting resurrection experiments. However, third-rank wizards were exempt from this prohibition.

"Hmm." Royer's mood remained low. "I encountered an unknown fourth-tier wizard and died in a rather haphazard way. Fortunately, my soul was residing in... well, it's not a big deal to tell you. It was residing in Lord Frim's Lost Corridor. After the physical body dies, as long as the soul is not corrupted or mutated, there is still a chance to be resurrected."

"Originally, I should have been punished for failing to complete Lord Frim's orders this time, but now that the Red Sea Tree has been lost and destroyed like this, Lord Frim immediately resurrected me and sent me back to find a solution."

"Will Alfonso be resurrected too?" Thor asked, though he knew in his heart that it was unlikely.

"...No." Royer looked at the Red Sea in front of him, and like an ordinary person, he threw a stone in frustration. "He made a mistake, and to die in battle is already a mercy from the court."

His friend of over a hundred years remained stubbornly obstinate and ultimately died in battle, which saddened Royer greatly. However, having become a third-tier wizard, he had become accustomed to life and death, and his emotions were not as outwardly expressed as he appeared.

However, seeing that almost half of the Red Sea Trees were gone, Roye still felt heartbroken.

This is a tree he's been nurturing for decades!

Who would have thought that while they were hunting down the atavistic mermaids, the remaining mermaids in the sea would collectively mutate and die?

The cause of the mermaid mutation has not yet been found, but Flimt believes it is inextricably linked to atavism.

Lord Frim has gone to investigate the fourth-tier wizard who killed Royer, since no one would feel at ease having such a elusive fourth-tier wizard in their household.

Flim goes to investigate the unfamiliar fourth-order wizard, while Royer is troubled by the Red Sea Tree problem.

There are no mermaids left in the sea, but the Red Sea Trees continue to absorb the excessive pollution from the seawater.

But what should be done with the tubers formed after absorbing pollution?

In Royer's plan, mermaids were never a crucial element, but they were an indispensable part.

So no matter how Royer experimented with mermaids, he never imagined that one day Nefert would lose all of his mermaids.

After thinking for a while, Royer said, partly to discuss with Thor and partly to organize his own thoughts, "The most important thing now is to deal with the pollution caused by the Red Sea Tree as soon as possible. If we don't have mermaids, we can use other consumable organisms."

Thor, hearing this, asked him, "What other creatures are currently resistant, numerous, and easy to deal with?"

Royer thought for a while.

Since the wizarding world was sealed off and the path to advancement to the fifth rank was closed, the biodiversity of the entire world has been rapidly declining.

The culprit was, of course, the wizard.

Too many experiments, without regard for recycling and ecological balance, ultimately led to the extinction of a large number of species.

The fact that they were able to raise a group of pig-like merfolk was largely due to the fact that merfolk originally lived in the deep sea, making them difficult for wizards to capture.

After thinking for a while, and finding no suitable creature in the short term, Royer finally said resolutely, "If all else fails, we'll just use people!"

Thor's eyelids twitched.

Seemingly because Thor played a significant role in the battle to protect the Red Sea Tree, Royer now trusts Thor even more and has decided to reveal his terrifying plan.

"Actually, this plan wasn't something I came up with on a whim; it's something the Tribunal has been preparing for all along. If one day the Red Sea Tree is lost, or pollution gets out of control and can't be absorbed, then the continental partition plan will be activated."

"Although dividing the continent can temporarily solve this pollution problem, we still need to find a more suitable way to treat pollution in the future, otherwise we will not be able to continue our defensive war of more than 100 years."

"We have persisted for a hundred years, and we don't know how many more years we can persist."

Royer became increasingly dejected as he spoke.

Thor didn't ask any further questions. He felt he might have overheard something significant and immediately began to worry about his situation.

"They're telling me all this in such detail, are they trying to detain me and prevent me from leaving?"

The excuse of treating the mermaid is clearly no longer valid.

After all, there isn't a single mermaid left here now.

Will the tribunal release him next?

I think so, since Thor still needs to deal with the Eye of the Storm in the Borderlands.

The court can only detain him for a maximum of six months before it has to release him.

Now, apart from Thor, no other third-tier wizard can gain a foothold in the No Man's Land, and no one else can seal the eye of the storm as quickly and costly as Thor.

Thor gazed at the Red Sea Trees in the distance.

He needs to make himself more valuable.

Well then, it's time to bring Sander over.

"Actually, these days I've been studying mermaids and also thinking about the Red Sea Tree."

When Royer heard Saul finally speak, his eyes lit up.

He made an exception and talked so much with Saul, wasn't it because he hoped Saul could give him some help or a hint?

"Actually, there is a species that is very suitable for absorbing the polluted tubers from the Red Sea Tree. You should know about it too."

Saul said deliberately slowly.

"What?" Royer asked urgently.

Many terms flashed through his mind, but he couldn't find the right one.

Thor glanced at Royer, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

"Lord Thor, Lord Thor, please speak quickly!" Royer seemed to have regained his previous liveliness.

"You're familiar with the Black Sea Tree, aren't you?"

Royer opened his mouth, then suddenly sat back down as if deflated.

"If the lethal effects of Black Sea Trees on Red Sea Trees can be resolved, we won't need to clear out all the Black Sea Trees in Neflet."

Seeing Royer's resigned expression, Thor jumped to his feet, defiantly saying, "Just because you can't find a way doesn't mean I can't. You know about the Black Sea Tree, so what about the Upside-Down Tree?"

Royer looked up at Thor, who seemed to have been provoked.

He certainly knew about the Upside-Down Tree; it was an extremely rare magical creature. If it weren't for the agreement between the Tribunal and Beth, the third-tier wizard from Bydon Academy, she wouldn't have been able to take the Upside-Down Tree away so easily.

An upside-down tree is powerful and domineering.

It can absorb human souls and control a large number of soul puppets.

But what does that have to do with the Red Sea Tree? The Red Sea Tree doesn't have...

No, the Red Sea Tree is conscious.

Compared to plants, they are actually more like animals. However, their consciousness is distributed throughout their entire body, thus lacking the subjective initiative of animals.

As expected of one of the most important third-tier wizards in the Tribunal, Royer had a sudden inspiration after hearing Thor utter two terms.

"You mean using the upside-down tree to control the Red Sea Tree... and then, and then..."

Thor continued, "Using the combination of the Inverted Tree and the Black Sea Tree Source, we can give the Black Sea Tree the consciousness to actively control the Red Sea Tree. Then, using the Inverted Tree's abilities, we can control all the Red Sea Trees and absorb the pollution within them!"

The biggest difference between Black Sea Tree and Red Sea Tree is that Black Sea Tree has the ability to process pollution!

Good heavens, the scheduled release has become a direct release!!!
