Chapter 819: People with the Same Suffering
After listening to Thor's story, Floco closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he still looked relaxed.
The other party's reaction was different from what Thor expected.
"I thought you would be angry after hearing this, or at least express your feelings."
Floco waved his hand. "When the Green Scale Clan left this world, the remaining mermaids were all side branches with mixed bloodlines. Their original status was very low. Even if I were still in this world, they wouldn't necessarily be living better than they are now... Of course, on the surface, their reputation might be better than it is now."
Floco is equivalent to the god of the Green Scale Tribe. God may love his believers and people, but he will not care whether a group of people live happily.
"Didn't you say that this mermaid has your blood in her?"
Floco said bluntly, "Reproduction is a basic need, and racial expansion is the guarantee of survival."
Thor did not comment on the other party's living habits and took out the pollution sample obtained from the mermaid's coral tail.
A ball of flesh, and a little blood.
"This is the flesh and blood taken from a mermaid that showed signs of atavism. Can you tell whether it contains your blood? In fact, there is also the blood of the mermaid royal family with a higher concentration, but I can't get that for the time being."
The flesh is white, but the blood is darker.
Froco scanned it with his mental power and shook his head, "It has nothing to do with me. It should be the bloodline of other Qinglin people."
He said to Thor: "It doesn't matter. Like I said, the mermaids who stayed behind are of mixed blood, not the royal family of our time. It should be that the mermaids who stayed behind raised their status on their own."
When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey will be king.
Saul understood.
"Since it's not your offspring and you don't care, I won't be polite."
Floco raised his hand, "As you wish."
Sol raised the question he had been thinking about in the past few days.
"The spirit of the atavistic mermaid is stronger than that of the modified mermaid. However, their ability to adapt to the Kuroshio pollution is reduced. Perhaps we can understand what kind of transformation the Tribunal has made on the mermaids through comparison."
The Tribunal has been fighting the Black Tide pollution for hundreds of years, and there is some knowledge that Thor cannot obtain even with his natural talent.
"That's normal. The more powerful the spirit, the more unstable it is. Just like the taller the building, the easier it is to collapse."
Thor nodded, "So we need to reinforce our building materials."
A high-rise building that is not built with shoddy materials is definitely more durable than a thatched hut.
He looked at Floco, who was clear-headed, then thought of Kate, and finally thought of the ugly mermaid who had only the instinct to survive, and a light lit up in his mind.
"For the Tribunal, the most difficult thing is actually to control the mermaids. Maybe they just tampered with the mermaids' spirits, and then threw all the mermaids into the Kuroshio pollution, and selected the ones that survived to breed in large numbers?"
"Using natural mutations instead of artificial modifications can indeed save a lot of time if the sample size is large enough." Floco said this without any hesitation.
Thor was a little worried again. "But in this case, there is no technical content to learn from. Coral may be polluted only because her spirit is strong but unstable. But to solve the pollution, do we have to destroy her spirit?"
Thinking of the ruby-like mermaid, Thor felt a little bit reluctant.
He thought to himself, "I still have to go to the red sea trees and the large number of mermaids to compare the differences between the two. If Alfonso won't lead me there, I can ask Wizard Roye for help."
…
The wizard Alfonso, who was electrocuted by Thor, was now in the living room of the Emperor in the Palace of Eternal Night, watching Sander drawing blood.
Two female wizard apprentices were squatting in front of Sander's knees, one holding one of his arms.
The mouths of these two wizard apprentices have been specially modified, with protruding lips that gradually converge into a thin needle tube.
Their stomachs were also modified into two, one for taking in liquid food and one for storing Sander's blood.
This large amount of blood is drawn once a month.
In addition to this matter, Sander also has tasks that must be completed.
That's weekly breeding.
Although people in the palace gave this behavior a nice name, called inheritance, in Sander's heart he only regarded it as breeding.
The sense of shame brought by this word prevented Sander from sinking into depravity and numbness as quickly as previous emperors.
After the blood was drawn, the two female wizard apprentices left. They were not allowed to eat again until their stomach bags storing blood were taken away.
Some people were lucky and underwent laparotomy surgery quickly, but others starved to death.
After having his blood drawn, Sander's face turned even paler. He leaned back on the soft leather cushion of the recliner, but the dizziness in his head did not ease.
He closed his eyes, but felt even more uncomfortable, so he forced himself to open his eyes and look across.
Opposite Sander, there is a huge glass window that goes from top to bottom.
That was the room next to his, a room surrounded by crystal glass.
Inside the glass is clear sea water, clean stones and algae.
This is a room made of water, and a royal family is also imprisoned inside.
An heir to the mermaid royal bloodline.
pearl.
She is also an atavistic mermaid, and the one with the thickest bloodline among the atavistic mermaids.
She was born with a complete green fish tail.
She was called Pearl because she had pearly white hair. When the sun shone on it, it would reflect soft colorful light, just like real pearls.
Alfonso spotted her among the mermaids at a glance and used witchcraft to pull her out of the sea.
He discovered that this strange-looking little mermaid actually had a face that resembled a human girl. From her head to her belly, she looked like a 17 or 18-year-old human girl, with almost no mermaid-like features.
Alfonso examined her body several times and always suspected that she was under some kind of hallucination.
But after several years of inspection, he still found no signs of human manipulation.
Pearl was really born to look like this.
However, what is inconsistent with Pearl's appearance that is extremely consistent with human aesthetics is that her spiritual body is incomplete.
This has been verified personally by Lord Chief Judge Flim of the Arbitration Court.
Pearl has the intelligence of a three or four-year-old child and still cannot speak.
Alfonso still hasn't figured out why Pearl, who has the strongest mermaid royal blood, has a broken spirit. For her blood and special identity, Alfonso has been keeping her in solitary confinement.
For Sander, who is also under house arrest, Pearl is a companion who shares the same suffering.
In the glass water room opposite, Pearl was also lying on the wall looking at Sander.
Every time the Emperor of Eternal Night had his blood drawn, Pearl would lie on the transparent wall with her rosy little mouth open and a look of shock on her face, watching the fun.
She found it new and interesting every time, even though she had seen the scene hundreds of times.
Xander smiled at Pearl with difficulty, and Pearl immediately responded with a bigger and brighter smile.
This made Sander feel a little better.
But the mood soon turns sour again, as Alfonso has appeared with a bottle of black potion.
He thrust the black potion directly in front of Xander's face, blocking his view of the mermaid, and said in a low voice, "Drink it and go back to sleep."
