Chapter 119: The Sympathizer
After listening to Thor's story, Floco closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was still leisurely.
The other party's reaction was different from Thor's expectation.
"I thought you would be angry when you heard it, but at least you had to sigh with emotion."
Frog waved his hand, "When the Green Scale Clan left this world, the remaining mermaids were all side branches with mixed blood, and their original status was very low, even if I was still in this world, they might not be better off than now...... Of course, on the surface it may be a little better than the current reputation. ”
Frog is the equivalent of the god of the green scales, and the god may love his people of believers, but he does not care whether a certain group of people live happily or not.
"Didn't you say this mermaid had your blood in it?"
Floco was unceremonious, "Reproduction is a basic need, and racial expansion is a guarantee of survival." ”
Thor does not evaluate the habits of the other party, and takes out a sample of the contamination obtained from the mermaid's coral tail.
A lump of flesh, and a little blood.
"This is the flesh and blood from the merfolk who showed signs of atavism, can you tell if there is your blood? In fact, there is a higher concentration of mermaid royal bloodline, but I can't get that for the time being. ”
The flesh is white, but the blood is deep.
Floke's spiritual power swept over and shook his head, "It has nothing to do with me, it should be the bloodline of other green scale clans." ”
He said to Saul: "It doesn't matter. Like I said, the mermaids left behind back then were all mixed blood, and they were not the royal family of our time at all. It should have been the merfolk who stayed behind to elevate their status on their own. ”
There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings.
Saul expressed understanding.
"Since it's not your descendant, and you don't care, then I'm welcome."
Floco raised his hand, "Feel free to do whatever you want." ”
Saul asks the question he has been thinking about for the past few days.
"The spiritual body of the atavistic mermaid is stronger than that of the transformed mermaid. But their ability to adapt to Kuroshio pollution has been reduced as a result, and perhaps we can see what kind of modifications the tribunal has made on mermaids. ”
The tribunal has been battling Kuroshio pollution for hundreds of years, and there is some knowledge that Thor has no talent for.
"That's normal, too. The stronger the spirit body, the more unstable it is. It's like the taller the building, the easier it is to collapse. ”
Thor nodded, "So we're going to reinforce our building materials." ”
High-rise buildings that don't cut corners are definitely more resistant to construction than thatched houses.
He looked at the clear-headed Frog in front of him, then thought of Kate, and finally thought of the ugly mermaid who only had the instinct to survive, and a light lit up in his head.
"The most difficult thing for the tribunal is actually to control the mermaid. Maybe they just manipulated the spirit of the mermaids, and then threw all the mermaids into the Kuroshio current pollution, and chose the surviving ones to breed in large numbers? ”
"Replacing artificial modification with natural mutations can really save a lot of time if the sample size is large enough." Flocco didn't hesitate to talk about it.
Thor was a little worried, "But in this case, there is nothing to learn from." The coral's contamination may simply be caused by her strong but unstable mental body. But to solve the pollution, is it necessary to destroy her spiritual body? ”
Thinking of the ruby-like mermaid, Thor felt a little unbearable.
He thought to himself, "I'd better go to the Red Sea Tree and the large number of mermaids and compare the differences between the two." If Alfonso doesn't take me over, you can go to Wizard Royer for help. ”
……
Wizard Alfonso, who was electrocuted by Thor, was in the palace of the Eternal Night, in the living room of His Majesty the Emperor, watching Sander draw blood.
Two teenage apprentice wizards were crouching in front of Tander's knees, one holding one of his arms.
The mouths of both wizard apprentices have been specially modified, with the lips protruding and then gradually converging into a slender needle.
Their stomach pouches were also repurposed into two, one for liquid feeding and one for storing Sander's blood.
This large amount of blood is drawn once a month.
In addition to this, Sander has a task that must be completed.
That's a weekly breeding.
Although the people of the court gave this behavior a nice name, Inheritance, Sander only regarded it as a breeding in his heart.
The shame brought by this word did not prevent Sander from sinking into numbness as quickly as previous emperors.
After completing the blood draw, the two female wizard apprentices stepped down. They are not allowed to eat again until the stomach pouch in which their blood is stored has been removed.
Some people were lucky enough to have laparotomy done quickly, but others were starved to death as a result.
After the blood was drawn, Sander's face turned three points pale, and he leaned back against the soft leather cushions of the chaise longue, but the vertigo in his skull did not lessen.
He closed his eyes, but felt even more uncomfortable, so he forced himself to open them and look at the other side.
On the opposite side of Sander, there is a huge pane of glass that goes all the way to the end.
It was the room next to him, a room enclosed by crystal glass.
Inside the glass is crystal clear water, clean stones and algae.
It was a room made of water, and there was also a royal family in it.
An heir to the bloodline of the Merfolk Royalty.
Pearl.
She is also an atavistic mermaid, and she is the most blood-soaked of the atavistic mermaids.
She was born with a full cyan fishtail.
She was called Pearl because she had pearlescent hair. When the sun hits it, it reflects a soft colored light, like a real pearl.
Alfonso saw her presence at a glance among the merfolk and used sorcery to capture her from the sea.
He discovers that the strange-looking little mermaid has a face that resembles a human girl. From head to lower abdomen, she is close to a human seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and almost no mermaid appearance features.
Alfonso examined her body several times, always suspecting that there was some kind of hallucinatory effect on the other party.
But after several years of inspection, he still found no traces of manipulation.
Pearls are really born to look like this.
However, what does not match Pearl's extremely human aesthetic appearance is that her spirit body is mutilated.
This has been verified by the presiding officer of the tribunal, Flim, himself.
Pearl has the intelligence of a three- or four-year-old child, and has not been able to speak to this day.
Alfonso still hasn't figured out why Pearl, which has the strongest mermaid royal bloodline, has a broken spirit body. For the sake of her blood and special status, Alfonso has been holding her in solitary confinement.
For Sander, who is also under "house arrest", Pearl is a sympathetic partner.
In the glass water room opposite, Pearl was also lying on the wall looking at Sander.
Every time the Emperor of the Eternal Night was bloodied, Pearl would open her ruddy little mouth and lie on the transparent wall in shock.
Every time she felt novel, even though she had seen it hundreds of times.
Xander smiled at Pearl with difficulty. The pearl on the opposite side immediately returned with a bigger, brighter smile.
It made Sander's mood a little better.
But soon the mood turned bad again, because Alfonso had already appeared with a bottle of black potion.
He slammed the black potion directly in front of Sander's face, blocking Sander's gaze at the mermaid, and his voice was low, "Drink it and go back to sleep." ”
