Chapter 18: The Floating World Side
Saul and Jeffrey stood together, looking like the apprentices who normally participated in the selection, and soon it was their turn to participate in the selection.
Thor casually registered, and entered the stargazing tower with Jeffrey.
He found the environment to be very loose, and every wizard who worked was extremely busy, as if there was an endless job to do.
Seeing that this was the case inside the stargazing tower, Thor simply didn't even pretend, and immediately selected the crowd and walked to the upper floor.
The entire tower has no windows, so Thor asks Nightmare Butterfly to go out from time to time to confirm the location of the red worm's mouthparts.
Along the way, he met many people, but they ignored Thor as if they couldn't see him.
"Every time I sneak somewhere, I am basically caught as soon as I arrive. Now I walked in generously, but no one cared. ”
Beth in the diary smiled.
[Probably they didn't think you would dare to break into the headquarters of the Stargate Council, right?] 】
Soon Thor came to the corresponding position, but the entrance to the world side was not so easy for outsiders to see.
His location was on a hollow floor. That is, there is no ground in the middle of this level, and it is connected to the next floor. Coupled with the fact that the height of the stargazing tower is close to four meters, a huge space higher than seven meters appears in front of Thor.
"This should be it. But isn't there even a guard here? ”
Thor poked out his mental power and swept around the space, but found no entrance to the world.
The few world sides that Thor went to before either entered without warning, or had a key like the Chaos Compass, or the Glow Clan took him in, and he didn't bother to find the entrance.
Now, although he guessed where the entrance to the world side was, he didn't sense the specific location of this entrance or how to enter the world side.
Thor took out the Chaos Compass and tried to use it to sense the existence of spatial gaps. The hands on the compass rotate without the slightest regularity.
Thor thought to himself, "It seems that this compass can only be used for the Chaos Domain. ”
He put the compass away, "Spiritual strength can't detect spatial rifts, so what about using the thread of fate?" ”
Thor sensed left and right again, and no one was passing by.
One of his hands quietly changed into gray tentacles hidden in his sleeve, and then several thin white translucent threads drilled out of the cuffs, like spider silk threads floating in the air, and like a cat's whiskers tentatively probing in the air.
A thin, white translucent line split in two, split into four, and finally became a dense whisker, sweeping across the middle of the two floors.
Under such a carpet search, Thor finally sensed the slightest abnormality at the entrance to the world.
Thor immediately put away the thread of fate and flew into the air and raised his hand to touch what seemed to be nothing.
In the next second, he felt a strange suction, and his whole body seemed to fall into the straw, and his body and spirit body were stretched and narrowed together, and then sprayed out from the other end of the straw.
Thor froze, and when he looked up, he saw a red worm the size of a calf floating through the air, motionless like a balloon.
Looking down again, Thor found himself high in the air, with hundreds of red worms floating under his feet.
Thor tried to find ground through the gaps between the floating fat bugs, only to find that there seemed to be no ground.
Everything floats in mid-air.
The most people floating around Thor were the motionless red worms. Thor couldn't touch them, and he didn't know if they were dead or alive.
Sensing that someone seemed to be approaching, Thor dodged behind a red worm while hiding his form, blending himself in with the background of the world.
Before entering, Thor left a temporary coordinate outside the stargazing tower, and if something happens, he will teleport directly.
Now that I've sensed it, the presence of the coordinates is still clear, and it's clear that Thor can move between the world side and the overworld.
With a way out, Thor can find Byron in peace.
At this time, the source of the aura that had just been detected by Thor was close, and it was just a first-order wizard.
The other party was not strong, but Thor saw that the wizard had a red worm lying on his shoulder.
"Kismet said that red worms don't have the ability to control the consciousness of others, so do these people with red worms know that they have a monster from outside the stargate?"
The first-order wizard with the red worm walked to the exit of the world, his lips moved slightly, and he silently recited the incantation, and after a while, the whole figure distorted and shrunk and finally disappeared.
"It seems that this spell is a normal way to enter and exit the world, but I found the exact entrance through the fate line, so I didn't need to open the spell and squeezed in directly."
After watching the people go out, Thor left the Red Worm where he was hiding and probed in the direction where the First Order wizard had come.
Passing through a cloud of red worms, he finally saw a few gray balls floating in mid-air.
The balls are made of rubber, similar to the balloons above the airboat. Each ball is the size of a small house. Each orb has a mana fluctuation coming from it.
Will these spheres be the houses of this world?
Because of his proximity to the place where there were people, Thor didn't use the flying technique anymore, he chose a direction, terminated the flying technique, and his body slowly fell.
After stopping the flight, Thor realized that the gravity here was very low. That gravity is almost counteracted by air resistance.
The crash didn't happen, and Thor didn't even need to turn his arms into wings in order to control his direction.
After a while, he landed on the 1st balloon.
The entire balloon is off-white. Thor climbed around the balloon and carefully climbed around, only to find that only one part of the entire balloon was transparent, like a window for people to observe.
Thor cautiously looked through the window and saw a man tied to a post.
The column is located in the middle of the balloon and connects the two apex.
The tied man lowered his head, and through the faint magic and spiritual power emanating from his body, it could be seen that he was not in a very good state, and he could even die at any time.
Thor had never seen the wizard, and could only tell that the other party was a second-order wizard.
And this wizard doesn't have red worms on him either.
Someone flew in from a distance, and Thor carefully climbed to the other side of the ball to avoid the sight of the men.
After the man left, Thor continued to probe several other balloons. Each balloon has a person locked in it. Some are dying, some are still in good spirits, but none of these people have red worms on them.
Instead, those who flew outside had a red worm hanging from each of them. The location is uncertain, and red worms can be hung on the shoulders, heads, arms, and even feet.
According to Thor covertly, these people are mentally and consciously, which means that these red worms, as Kismet said, do not affect the consciousness and senses of these people.
"People with bugs stay outside, but people without bugs are locked in balloons, is this world occupied by bugs?"
There was no Byron in the balloons, and Thor continued to fly in the direction the group had come.
After passing through a layer of floating red worms again, Thor saw a new balloon.
There is only one balloon, but this balloon is extremely huge, if the balloon in front of it looks like a small house, then the one in front of you looks like a 60-story skyscraper.
Around this magnificent balloon, a large number of red worms floated, all of them motionless.
The small ones are no bigger than a palm, and the larger ones are 10 meters long.
It's just that none of them are as big as the one hanging outside the tower.
It was at this moment that Thor finally discovered the familiar spiritual power again.
Byron is in front of the giant balloon!
But to Saul's surprise, Byron seems to be moving fast, and towards himself!
