Chapter 19: Alex's Perspective
Despite noticing that the person flying over was Byron, there were other people around Byron. Thor hides his form at the last moments, hiding behind a red worm that is more than three meters in size.
Ordinary people can't see these red worms, nor can they see Thor blending into the background. And those who can see the bugs will ignore Thor hiding behind it because of the extremely eye-catching red worm.
Soon, Byron's figure appeared, and with him came two wizards, both first-order wizards. All three, including Byron, had a red worm on their bodies.
It's just that the two first-order wizards are wearing bugs that are less than the size of their arms, and the bug on Byron's body is particularly huge, nearly two meters tall, which has exceeded his height. The bug lay on his back, looking from afar, as if he were carrying a huge bag.
Thor had just met other second-order wizards, and none of them had a bug that was comparable to Byron's.
Looking at the formation in which they moved, Byron seemed to be the leader of the squad.
"Senior, after infiltrating the enemy camp, has he already become a leader? Why is the bug on him so big? Saul felt that Byron didn't seem to need to rescue himself.
Thor tugged at the thread of fate that belonged to Byron in his spiritual body.
Byron, who had been hurrying on his way, suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, sir?"
Byron's eyes moved slightly, "You guys go on a mission first, I'm going to check on the other test subjects." ”
The two first-order wizards who followed Byron did not notice anything abnormal, nodded and left first.
Byron, on the other hand, flew in the direction from which Thor had come, and stopped halfway through the flight, looking around, and no one else approached for the time being.
"Are you nearby?" Byron asked in a whisper, so small that he could barely reach two meters away.
But Thor, who had been paying attention to Byron, still heard it, and one of his hands instantly turned into an octopus tentacle, flicked it lightly, wrapped around Byron's body, and pulled the person behind the red worm where he was hiding.
"Senior, I'm still worried about you and Agu, but you've become a leader here?"
Thor looked at Byron amusedly, especially at the giant red worm on Byron's back.
Although there were very few wizards who could see the Red Worm along the way, Byron had no doubt that Thor could see it.
"If you want to defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy." Byron was also very happy to see Thor again after a year, but the expression on his face was still faint, "I just got the right to leave, and I was thinking of going out to find Agu this time." I didn't expect you to find it. ”
So Byron still considers the Stargate Council to be an enemy?
"What are they going to do when they bring you here? I see a tied up wizard in the balloon over there, and you freedmen have bugs on you, can you see bugs? ”
Byron nodded, "Actually, for the Stargate Council, we and the imprisoned subjects are their test subjects. The data they wanted to test was actually ......"
"Let me tell Wizard Thor."
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and both Thor and Byron were startled.
Although they heard the voices of the others, they still did not realize the owner of the voice, but the voice was clearly nearby.
As a result, just as Thor was looking left and right, the three-meter-long red worm in front of him suddenly split a slit in the middle of his abdomen.
A thin middle-aged man actually walked out of the belly of a red worm that others couldn't touch.
The man was dark-skinned, his hair was brown with some silver threads interspersed with it, and he looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, but his skin was as smooth as a shelled egg.
"Speaker Alik." Byron pulled Lasol and called out the other party's identity before him.
Alex, the president of the Stargate Council, does not look exactly what is rumored. The other party ranks first in strength among the fourth-order wizards on the bright side, but he rarely participates in battles, and his energy is basically spent on research.
When Thor saw Speaker Alik suddenly appearing in front of him, his first reaction was not that he sneaked in and was caught, but asked in surprise: "This red worm can't be touched by spiritual power and magic power, how did you hide in it and come out?" ”
Alik smiled, his mean-looking face showing no signs of anger.
"Murrich invited you to join Stargate's experiment before, and you didn't agree, now come and ask me?" He jokingly said, "Then I'm not going to tell you casually." ”
It turns out that the president of the Stargate Council is this kind of character?
I don't know why, such Alik always makes people want to trust him from the bottom of their hearts.
Thor suspected that he was under the influence of the other party's magic, but when he checked the spirit body, there was no other force acting on it.
So is it the charisma of the personality itself?
"Just kidding."
The other party was really joking.
"Stargate welcomes you to join us in our experimental research at any time."
Alex first said to Byron, "You still have a task, no matter what the purpose of joining the experiment is, first complete the first task seriously." ”
Byron pursed his lips and glanced at Thor worriedly, but thinking that he couldn't help if he stayed here, he gave him a look and turned to leave, going to find the previous first-order wizard.
Thor rubbed his chin a little awkwardly, "So you guessed I'd sneak in?" ”
"There's no need to guess." Alik snapped his fingers, and the two of them suddenly moved from the middle of a pile of bugs to a room full of experimental equipment.
"This side of the world has never been fortified, and anyone who can find the entrance can come in. I don't need to send patrols or guards. I believe that people who see the Stargate experiment will eventually choose to join. Just like your friends, and the future you. ”
The Speaker Alik was quite confident.
"Your current attitude is a bit contradictory to Murrich's behavior of arresting people outside." Thor is also quite bold in his words.
"That's what Murridge did. Before the Stargate Council completely leaves the wizarding world and enters the starry sky, we still need the stability of the grassroots society to provide enough supplies and personnel. If the red worm story is publicized, the productivity of the panicked city will be greatly reduced. So in the end, we chose to experiment in secret. However, a wizard like you who can find it on your own will not choose to reveal the secret of the Red Worm to the outside world, even if he knows the secrets of the Red Worm. ”
Alek was right about that. Although Thor sneaked in to save people, he had no intention of revealing the existence of the Red Worm to ordinary people.
First of all, Red Worms don't attack people who don't have magical powers. To those bugs, people without magical talent are like pebbles on the side of the road. You can step on it at will, but you won't step on it deliberately.
And then how do you explain to wizards who can't see or touch bugs to convince them that there really are red worms?
"And what about when you enter the starry sky?"
"At that time, the world was about to be destroyed by the Kuroshio, and those who remained would either find a new way to survive in the very small probability or perish with the world. It is meaningless to know the truth or not. ”
