Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 829

Chapter 817: Bad Ending

After Alfonso’s soft introduction, Coral under the water seemed to have heard the voice, and timidly raised her head and looked towards the water surface.

This also allowed Sol to see her face hidden by her red hair.

He actually had a sense of déjà vu of seeing the little mermaid in the fairy tale.

Although the mermaid named Coral’s skull and jaw are narrower than those of ordinary people, her face can already be called an oval face.

She has red eyes like her hair, shining like rubies.

However, before Sol could continue to appreciate the appearance of the mermaid, the latter flipped over in the pool, revealing the lower half of her tail.

Sol immediately frowned.

Half of Coral’s fish tail was rotten.

Her tail was blue, like a clear sky after rain, but most of it was missing, revealing the coccyx and a lot of rotten meat that had turned white in the water.

There were also scattered pieces of meat connected to the tail by tiny meat threads, which seemed to be able to be pulled off with a strong effort.

The translucent tail fin clearly reflects a colorful halo like a mother-of-pearl, but it also has many gaps and is in tatters.

In short, it looks very painful.

“Is this the Kuroshio pollution you mentioned? Its surface characteristics are different from the Kuroshio pollution I have seen before.”

Alfonso said seriously: “The possibility of other objects causing pollution has been preliminarily ruled out. As long as they stay in the sea water with Kuroshio, the pollution will intensify.”

If Alfonso is not lying, then it is really possible that the rot is caused by Kuroshio pollution.

“Well, the manifestations of Kuroshio pollution are diverse, maybe this is a new feature.” Sol did not say it definitely.

“I named this pollution disease ‘tail rot’.”

Thor nodded, “Very descriptive.”

“The first case of tail rot is Coral. Because she is a reverted mermaid, we pay more attention to her. It may also be because of the reversion that her tolerance to the Kuroshio pollution is not as good as that of the current mermaids. Fortunately, we discovered the disease in time and found that it is contagious, so we can isolate all the sick mermaids before the disease breaks out on a large scale.”

Thor observed other mermaids and found that their tails were also rotten, but Coral was the most rotten.

“I want to take some of her lesion tissue.”

Alfonso did not object. “Okay, but you have to be careful. These mermaids are very wary of wizards. If you scare her, she may struggle violently. She is the first patient, and we can’t let her die now.”

“Don’t worry, I have been a doctor for several years.” Thor took off his wizard robe and threw it on the sand behind him.

Then he jumped into the water, and the water was smooth, with only shallow ripples on the surface.

Alfonso stood on the shore with his arms folded, watching Sol’s actions, not knowing what he thought, and was a little stunned.

When Thor entered the water, the mermaids who were fighting for food in the water immediately panicked and hid in the cracks of the rocks.

But strangely, Coral, who should have been afraid of humans, remained where he was, and there was a hint of curiosity and closeness in his eyes when he looked at Thor.

When Thor approached, Coral actually swam towards him.

At this distance, Thor keenly discovered that Coral’s spirit was slightly stronger than other mermaids. Perhaps it was due to her atavism, her intelligence was closer to that of a human child.

After Coral approached Thor, she stretched out her hands and held one of Thor’s arms.

“Is it because of Floco? I have Floco’s spirit power left in me, which makes her feel closer to me?” Thor boldly guessed.

Floco, the water god, is a member of the Green Scale Clan, and Coral has atavism, so she may be more familiar with Floco’s spirit power.

Thor stretched out his hand and turned it into a translucent tentacle, covering Coral’s half-rotten fish tail.

It didn’t hurt, and Thor took a few samples from Coral and wrapped them with his tentacles and put them back into his body.

Because he didn’t know much about the contamination on the coral, Thor carefully isolated the sample from the coral.

After taking the sample, Thor scanned the coral’s mental power again, looked at the coral’s big ruby eyes, raised his hand and gently stroked the coral’s cheek.

There were tiny scales on both sides of the coral’s cheeks, which felt rough but smooth.

The coral closed its eyes, like a kitten, and was just short of making a “purring” sound of enjoyment.

Thor carefully examined the coral’s body structure and turned to float up.

Coral opened her eyes in confusion and even swam a few meters after Sol.

At this moment, she suddenly saw a small black tentacle emerging from the back of Sol’s neck.

The tip of the tentacle opened wide, revealing the tip of a black tongue.

“Puff, puff, puff…”

The little algae stuck out its tongue and a string of bubbles came out of its mouth.

Coral widened her eyes and reached out to grab the black tentacle, but in her peripheral vision, she saw the gloomy man on the water surface not far from her.

Coral paused, shrank her shoulders, seemed very scared, then flicked her tail and fled back to the depths of the pool.

Sol didn’t pay attention to the movement below, he could only feel that Coral gave up after chasing for a while.

He climbed out of the clear and cold pool, used witchcraft to clean the excess water and stains on his clothes, and put on the wizard robe thrown aside.

“How can Coral be so close to you?” Alfonso had been stunned for a long time, and as soon as Sol came out of the water, he couldn’t wait to ask.

“Maybe I have a mermaid next to me, and she feels the smell is more familiar.” Sol said casually, “And as a doctor, I naturally have to know how to comfort patients.”

Alfonso thought, “Can you teach me how to comfort mermaids?”

“Do you also need to comfort mermaids? I thought you, the Tribunal, are used to solving problems with v*olence.”

“That’s not v*olence, just a necessary means.” Alfonso retorted, but thinking of Sol’s method of comforting the mermaid, he softened his tone for a rare time, “I can exchange my unique dark attribute witchcraft with you.”

Sol touched his chin, “I’ll think about it.”

After seeing the mermaid, Alfonso’s introduction work for today ended here. The next time he contacted her, he would have to wait until Sol understood the information and samples he got from Alfonso.

Otherwise, he would not be able to carry out further research without even knowing the basic theory.

Returning the same way, Sol did not need Alfonso to send him back, and directly located Kate and teleported back to his own palace.

After returning to the palace, Sol did not wander around. The Tribunal’s attitude towards him was still unclear, so Sol naturally would not run around and cause trouble for himself.

After Sol and Alfonso left, the cold moonlight shone on the beach as usual.

In the deep pool by the sea, Coral, a girl with red hair, was swimming towards the deepest part of the pool.

When she reached a depth that could not be seen by the n*ked eye, she suddenly turned around and hit a rock.

Then her whole body sank into it.

There was a mechanism under this rock, which did not rely on witchcraft, but only used dyed seaweed to disguise as part of the rock.

Unless the patrolling wizard came down in person, his mental power could not detect that there was a problem here.

Behind the mechanism was a gap that only allowed a mermaid to pass through. After swimming up through the gap, Coral came to a dim cave.

She jumped out of the water, dragging her broken fish tail, and crawled to another pool opposite the cave.

“Sister, don’t move, I’ll go over!”

A voice suddenly sounded in the cave, with intermittent echoes.

Coral’s face suddenly showed a lively anger, “Be quiet!”

Her voice was not loud, but her expression was enough to convey the message.

Suddenly, another mermaid emerged from the pond opposite.

It was a male mermaid.

He looked exactly like Shanhu, except that his hair and eyes were azure blue, as deep and beautiful as aquamarine.

His name was also Hailan.
