Alfonso was not responsible for taking care of the Red Sea Tree, but he had no problem taking Thor into the Red Sea.

This time into the Red Sea was a coincidence, and when Thor and Alfonso came down, the swarms of merfolk did not lie on the seabed and lay lazy, but gathered around the roots of the Red Sea trees, nibbling on something with their sharp teeth.

If you look closely, you can see brown rhizomes hanging from the roots of the tree like nodules.

The merfolk had a very strange expression and enjoyed it, as if they were enjoying a big meal.

As Thor and the others passed, not a single merfolk was distracted by them.

Saul let go of Kate and whispered to him, "We'll split up and look for it, and if you find something similar to that smell, call me." ”

Kai nodded, he was not as sensitive to the bloodline of the Green Scale Clan as Thor as he was. If it weren't for the fact that Frog was inconvenient to possess at this time, in fact, it would be the fastest to let him come over and look for it together.

At present, Thor and Kate can only try to find other merfolk with the blood of the Green Scale Clan according to the clues left by Floco.

Alfonso didn't look for it, he stopped at the densest base of the tree and watched Thor and Kate's every move.

The Red Sea Tree is a very important strategic resource, which is related to the future of the entire Neflette Continent, and he naturally will not let Thor stay alone under the surface of the sea.

Of course, I don't worry too much.

The particularity of the Red Sea and the Red Sea Tree has made the entire tribunal pay attention to it.

If there is a situation beyond his control, even the presiding judge Flim will rush over as soon as possible.

Alfonso watched Thor prevent him from causing trouble, but he was actually protecting Thor as well.

Thor knew that Alfonso was watching him, and although he was nominally looking for the atavistic merfolk, he was actually searching for his target.

Thousands of merfolk had gathered under the Red Sea trees, and Thor had only been sweeping for a few days before sinking to the seabed to see if any had slipped through the net.

Kate searches for targets near tree roots by scent.

Thor swam deeper and deeper, and was already close to some of the canyons and caves that had been far away.

Alfonso's eyes were fixed on Thor, and before he knew it, his hands were clenched together.

Thor didn't know that Alfonso above was inexplicably nervous, just searching for some inaccessible places.

He was looking for a merfolk with Floco's bloodline. Such a mermaid is likely to be like the merfolk possessed by Kate, who have been trying to escape the Red Sea, perhaps in hidden areas on the edge of the Red Sea.

Even if they can't escape because the entire Red Sea Tree is under strict control by the adjudication court, it is likely that they will try their best to get rid of the influence of the Red Sea Tree's rhizomes on them.

Suddenly, passing through a place covered with heavy rhizomes, Thor vaguely felt a strange spiritual power.

It's just that the spiritual power is fleeting, as if the abnormality that Thor just felt is just his delusion.

But Saul understands that he absolutely didn't go wrong.

He stood on the root of the tree where his mental power had just fluctuated, and gently stomped the ground with his foot.

The result of the mental probe was that there was indeed a gap underneath, very narrow, but enough for the thin to pass through.

Just as Thor was about to lift the roots of the tree to take a look, Alfonso came down from above.

"Did you find anything?"

"There may be mermaids down there, too."

Alfonso took the initiative to step forward and directly lifted a large area of tree roots, bringing up the sediment from the seabed.

The movement is a bit big.

Sollo raised his eyebrows, but he didn't stop it.

"There's a mermaid down there." Alfonso glanced down, then said to Thor, "Are you going down and get that merfolk?" ”

Thor smiled, "I'll come back when I go and see." ”

Alfonso didn't make any other moves this time, just waited on it.

Thor went down to swim around and saw a merfolk lying on a rock.

This mermaid has several cyan scales on its tail, which at first glance is related to atavistic mermaids.

But when Thor swept through the opponent's spirit body, he found that the opponent's mental power fluctuations were not the same as the hidden spirit power he had just discovered.

The mermaid just now should have run away.

Thor didn't look any further, and even if he went down, it was estimated that he would find one or two ordinary mermaids at most.

The extremely hidden spiritual power just now must have disappeared.

Now I haven't tracked down the target just now, and I've basically lost it.

Thor dragged the merfolk he had found out of the cracks in the ground.

The merfolk didn't resist either, and looked just as stupid and stupid as the other merfolk and had no active awareness.

"There's one hidden here." Thor showed Alfonso the merfolk he had pulled out.

"There are so many mermaids here that they may be squeezed down. I don't know how to run out. ”

The merfolk that Thor brought out were very thin, a lap thinner than the other merfolk.

If it weren't for Thor having already figured out that the mermaid in front of him was not the one he had just discovered, I am afraid that he would agree with Alfonso's opinion, it was a mermaid who was squeezed down, and could not find a way out, and was starved and thin.

Alfonso looked down and saw a palm-sized cyan scale on the unusually thin mermaid's tail.

"Congratulations, you've found a target among so many merfolk."

Can Thor say that his real goal isn't actually an atavistic mermaid?

No, so he brought back the mermaid who had become a substitute for the dead fish.

When he left the Red Sea, Thor also brought back some roots and stems of the Red Sea tree. After all, how can a mermaid be studied without the cooperation of the Red Sea Tree?

Unfortunately, if you want to take away a complete Red Sea Tree, you must apply to the special Red Sea Tree Maintenance Team of the Adjudication Tribunal, and then temporarily evacuate part of the seal maintenance of the Red Sea Tree before you can transplant it without damage.

And the leader of the maintenance team is naturally the third-order wizard Royer, who loves the Red Sea Tree very much.

But Royer wasn't there.

Thor had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, choosing a branch with more vigorous vitality, and preparing to go back and try it in the water.

Sitting in the dinghy on the return trip, the mermaid Kate huddled in the corner with the freshly caught atavistic mermaid.

Although the bloodlines of the two mermaids are not the same, they belong to the same species, and with Kate to appease them, the new captives can live in peace.

Casting a look at Kate, Thor turned back to Alfonso, who was sailing.

"Does this mermaid have a name?"

Alfonso steered the boat intently, not looking at the new mermaid, "You were the ones who spotted him first." ”

Thor turned around, and the newly caught merfolk was a male, according to Alfonso's usual naming method, "Let's call him Quartz first." ”

The mermaid with the new name moved, and was then firmly held by Kate again.

The road back was still dim, like the difficulties Thor was facing right now.

"If you can't find it, or if you can't solve the cause of the mermaid's illness, you may have to accept Royer's plan to create a new royal family and transform the merfolk."

Alfonso said: "I don't expect much from Royer's plan. New royalty? If the matter of bloodline fusion was so simple, the Inquisitioning Court would not have allowed the current Eternal Night Imperial Family to exist for so long. ”

In the dark flowing water, an exclamation sounded.

"The fusion of bloodlines is not something that can be done by calculations and formulas, and sometimes, it is as impermanent as fate. And fate cannot be made. ”
