Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 874 Sander Returns to the Forefront

"Midor?" Royer considered various names, such as Inverted Shadow or Black Sea Core, but Thor came up with a girl's name instead.

"Yes, this name comes from Alexandra's sister." Thor directly brought up Alexandra.

Royer looked at Sander, his first reaction being disdain, but after considering the new Black Sea Tree named "Midor," he immediately asked Thor, "Are you saying that giving the Black Sea Tree a consciousness to actively control the Red Sea Tree means stuffing a person's soul into it?"

Royer reacted as quickly as ever.

Thor nodded.

Although Royer made this guess, he still felt that something was not right.

"Even a wizard cannot stay inside a non-human body for long, let alone a demonic creature that is almost a plant? Are you sure this Midor won't mutate soon?"

Thor explained, "Midor died unexpectedly when she was just a few years old, and her soul has been imprisoned at the bottom of Bluewater Bay ever since. The fact that she was able to maintain her original will without chaos under these circumstances is enough to prove the special nature of her soul."

Midor's soul bears a certain resemblance to Kate's.

Moreover, in terms of talent, Midor is even stronger than Kate, who is a second-tier wizard.

Because she knew absolutely nothing about wizardry, she survived solely on instinct.

If only she could have become a wizard...

Forget it, there's no need to think about "what ifs".

Royer was also thinking, and he immediately raised the next key question.

"Even if Midor's soul doesn't mutate within the new Black Sea Tree, can a demonic creature with its own consciousness continue to absorb the Black Tide's pollution as before?"

“Ordinary souls definitely won’t work. But Midor is different.” Thor placed his hand on Sander’s shoulder again, pushing him forward. “Midor and Sander are very close. They automatically established a soul connection before they even returned to the Neflet continent. So now Midor only listens to Sander.”

Royer's gaze fell on Sander's slightly tense face, then shifted to the black branches of Midor that were still expanding on the sea surface.

Now, "Midor" has almost covered his defensive zone and is consciously expanding to the left and right, without advancing into the deep sea.

It's obvious that Midor controls it autonomously.

Royer watched with envy.

He was very clear about the Black Sea Tree's efficiency in dealing with the Kuroshio Current pollution. If it weren't for that fatal flaw, he would never have given up on the Black Sea Tree cultivation plan.

But unexpectedly, after adding a soul inside, the combination of the Black Sea Tree and the Upside-Down Tree could grow to such a large size and cover such a wide area.

If he could control Midor...

However, Midor is still in her growth period, so other plans can be discussed later when things are more stable.

Royer looked at Sander again, this time with less scrutiny and appraising than before, and more seriousness.

He suddenly smiled and spoke to Sandra, "It seems Her Majesty Alexandra has surprised us once again."

Sand suppressed his inner unease. He knew that if he wanted to rely on Midor to return to the core of power in the Eternal Night, he couldn't always rely on Thor.

Whether he, who has a mental connection with Midor, will gain real power in the Eternal Night Royal Family or become a mere puppet once again depends on his future actions.

While Royer was talking to Sander, the other wizards were still watching Midor in the sea.

At this time, Midor's expansion rate had slowed down. After emerging from the sea, its main trunk did not grow into a towering tree, and its height was even less than that of the surrounding Red Sea Trees.

However, its branches spread very widely, looking like a large net from a distance, encompassing all the nearby Red Sea trees.

The other wizards were constantly monitoring Midor, and if anything unusual happened, they would immediately take action to control the new Black Sea Tree and protect the remaining Red Sea Trees.

But so far, no problems have arisen, and their focus has shifted to, "Is this the only size this Black Sea tree can grow?"

One of the wizards stared at the main trunk and canopy of Midor for a long time, then suddenly said, "Why do I feel like this isn't the canopy?"

The wizard beside him stared intently at the black branches in the seawater. "What else could it be but a tree canopy?"

"It looks more like a tree root."

"Hiss...it does look like it, only the roots, no branches or leaves."

The two wizards were unaware that Midor was composed of inverted trees, but through careful observation, they discovered the essence of things.

Seeing that Midor had stopped growing, Thor prepared to return to the temporary palace.

Cultivating Midor is not something that can be done overnight; it may take her several years or even decades to gradually expand her influence on the Red Sea Tree.

How to speed up this process, and how to deal with the other Red Sea trees that haven't been treated by Midoril for pollution during this period, still needs to be studied carefully.

Of course, Saul could only provide a general idea at most; the specific work would have to be left to the tribunal, and he couldn't stay in Neflet for long.

Now that the reason the Tribunal had invited him here has disappeared, and the third goal of Thor's Symphony of Fate has been achieved, he needs to think carefully about how to bring up his desire to return to No Man's Lands.

As he was thinking, Thor couldn't help but yawn.

He interrupted Royer and Sander's conversation, saying, "I'm going back now. I'll leave the follow-up observations to you. Also, Stuart... you should know what's going on, I haven't been able to find him."

Stuart may die as his diary foreshadows, but given Royer's example, as long as Stuart's soul and consciousness remain, there is still a possibility of him being resurrected.

And the Black Flame Emperor Airo may have asked Thor to find Stuart's soul.

Royer did not refuse. "I've been fighting all along and haven't been able to focus on the search. I'll send men out to sea now."

Royer continued the search for Stuart, and Thor did not completely shirk his promise to the Black Flame Emperor.

Having completely handed over his work, Thor disregarded everyone else's opinions and teleported back to the Eternal Night Palace, the temporary palace where he had been residing.

He has now basically completed what he needed to do here, and because of fighting against the backflowing Black Tide monsters and healing other wizards, he has gained a high reputation in Eternal Night.

Now he can be a little more unrestrained in this palace.

Back at his lodgings, Thor tossed aside his wizard's robes and collapsed onto the bed.

The best way to relieve mental fatigue is to get some sleep, and then deal with things properly after a good night's rest.

Even if Thor is now a third-tier wizard, it's still the same.

Perhaps only when we reach the fourth stage, when our life form is fundamentally different from that of humans, will we be able to completely give up normal sleep.

Thor slept very soundly and comfortably.

The others tacitly refrained from disturbing him.

After an unknown amount of time, Thor opened his eyes and was immediately startled.

How did he end up lying on the floor of a long, dark corridor?
