Chapter 14: Finding Reinforcements
By the time he came out of the underground base, Agu had regained his composure.
It seems that after so many years of working in the wizard's tower to take care of books, he has learned to deal with it calmly.
"So you still didn't recognize each other in the end?"
"Why do you recognize each other? She hates Facelings, so why should I let her know that the people who raised her for ten years are also Facelings? ”
"Huh?" Thor shook his head, "Although, from a bystander's point of view, hiding it like this is likely to cause a bigger misunderstanding. ”
He casually gave an example that he had seen.
"For example...... How old was she that you disguised as her father? ”
"Five, five years and three months."
"So young, you took her father's place after her father's death. and left her when she was fifteen. She may not remember her father, but she does remember you. Maybe she thought you had abandoned her on purpose. ”
Agu lowered his head, "I really didn't have time to tell her the truth when I left. ”
Thor spread his hands, "So the truth is that it's not certain, you can't solve anything without saying anything." Even if you ask her about her impression of her father? ”
Agu frowned in annoyance, when he saw Fiona's cold and mocking eyes, he couldn't remember what Thor had said, and he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Hey." Thor sighed, "This kind of thing is mostly thought about by the people watching from the side. If you still want to talk to Fiona, I can go back to the hotel and wait for you. ”
"Nope." Who knew that Agu still refused, "She definitely won't come out to see me now, let's wait later, and I'm ...... after all Appearing out of nowhere now probably won't help her. Now you're going to save the Byron wizard, aren't you? ”
"I respect your decision." Thor didn't force it, touching his chin, "Senior Byron was detained by them, and I don't know what the situation is now." How can I really let them bully their seniors? ”
While chatting, the two walked towards the stargazing tower, not looking in a hurry.
"Master, how do you want to save people?"
Thor raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "Find a backer first!" ”
……
An encrypted letter was urgently sent to the Glow family, where Edgar presented it to the Norton Patriarch.
Norton's white light engulfed the letter in Edgar's hand, and it was reduced to ashes. But by this time, Norton had fully deciphered the contents of the letter.
Then there was a long silence.
Edgar waited for a long time, but didn't see Norton speak, and couldn't help but wonder, "Patriarch, is there something difficult to do?" ”
That's when Norton spoke, "Edgar, how many more years can I exist?" ”
Edgar spoke calmly, "If you keep your mental body stable, four years should be fine. ”
"yes, there's only four years left. Did you say Thor knew about it? ”
"Wizard Thor should be able to see it too."
"Then why did he still look for me trouble?"
"Maybe it'...... Or I'll go for you? ”
"Will you go to Alik for me?"
"Then you should go."
The toddler in the white ball of light sighed.
Edgar thought for a moment, "Why don't you write a letter and I'll pass it on to Speaker Alik for you?" ”
Norton chuckled, "Forget it, I'll go there myself." I'm afraid it's useless to just send a letter, they are very good at pretending to be stupid. If you want to see my old bones, Alik won't do anything with me. ”
After saying that, before Edgar could say anything, the white ball of light suddenly went out, and the already dim room completely lost its light source.
"Alas......" Edgar sighed helplessly, and casually lit the lantern in his hand, only then did he see the light again.
He looked at the bright wick in a daze, "If the Stargate Council is willing to listen to the persuasion to stop the spread of the Red Worm, how can you let most of the clansmen return to the Radiant World for refuge?" ”
……
"Do you think the Red Worm will be transmitted to the Starter continent with an airship or a ship? Should we notify everyone of the emergency evacuation? ”
Walking close to the stargazing tower, Thor looked up at the giant red worm on the tower. It's been two days since the last time I saw a red worm. The other party seemed to be a little bigger at this time.
Although the slightest change was imperceptible to ordinary people, Thor could clearly feel the change in the size of the red worm.
"Your concerns are valid." Agu has also broken free from Fiona's blows these days, "But haven't you already passed on the message?" ”
"Actually, if you think about it, the Stargate Council shouldn't deliberately transfer the Red Worm to other continents. After all, the other fourth-order wizards would not agree, and perhaps the Stargate Council would become the target of public criticism because of this, and in the end, the enemy would sabotage their plans. I'm still worried that those red worms will inadvertently land somewhere else. ”
All sacrifices and salvation of the minority, intellectually will choose the latter, but who can accept their relatives and friends among the majority who are sacrificed?
And Thor didn't think that staying in the wizarding world would definitely die.
Since Gorsa Mentor said that the abyss is a corpse, it means that the abyss is not invincible.
Thor also thought about whether he could seize the stargate and leave this dangerous world with his friends, but both the Death Demon of the Illusory World and the former Frog warned Sol that the outside world was really not safe.
The inability to pass through the world wall below the fifth order is actually a kind of protection for the world's own aborigines.
So, even if Thor was confident that he could enter the Fifth Order, what about his friends?
So Thor has decided that even if he has to leave in the end, he will give up when the end really breaks out and there are no survivors.
Thor looked down at the palm of his right hand, where another starry eye popped out. But Thor was careful not to let the star's eyes see the giant red worm on the stargazing tower.
"Last time the eye eliminated a red worm, but the star eye itself was also damaged, otherwise the pain would not have returned to me. This was the first time I'd seen anything that hurt the eyes of the stars. In other words, the spiritual power of that little red worm is already quite powerful, if I face up to the red worm on the top of the stargazing tower, I don't know how many star eyes will be consumed, will the feedback damage directly kill me? ”
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through Thor's brain.
He stopped suddenly, carefully pressing the starry eyes in his palm as he raised his hand to look at the huge red worm not far away.
"The Red Worm has the power to fight against the eyes of the stars. And what about it...... Can it deal with the Eye of the Abyss? ”
It's just an idea of inspiration. Thor doesn't even understand the characteristics of the Red Worm at the moment, and he can't control the Red Worm to fight for himself. But this is not a way of thinking that can be tried to solve the coming of the end.
"Always make a bold assumption first!"
Thor looked at the red worm again, not quite thinking of it as a pest.
"There are always two sides to things. Isn't a crisis a turning point? ”
"Master, what are you talking about?" Agu asked, puzzled.
Thor didn't rush to say what he wanted, but said, "Agu, how do you think you can get Speaker Alik to change his mind that he just wants to escape?" ”
[If you want to make a proud and stubborn person let go of his obsession, the only way to make him realize that he has no way out. 】
Beth writes elegantly in her diary.
"He's a fourth-order wizard, how can I make him have no way out? Is it looking for a fifth-order ...... Hey, I seem to know a fifth-order! ”
