Chapter 24: Douglas's Invitation to Experiment
With a wave of his hand, Thor began to churn, quickly destroying several circles on the ground.
But he wasn't in a hurry to get out of here.
Thor jumped on a large tree, found a sturdy trunk, and sat down leaning on the main pole.
He raised his hand, and the diary appeared in the palm of his hand.
The dark red hardcover book hovers silently as always.
But when Saul's mind moved, the hardcover book opened automatically, and the pages clattered, from the first golden page to the last black page.
Thor stared at the journal from beginning to end, but found no connection to Kismet.
"The fragment of Kismet's soul that Kismet hid in the diary was discovered by me when the diary first recognized me as its master."
"The soul fragment was indeed returned to Kismet in its entirety, and there was not the slightest remnant of it. But why can't Kismet's fate line accept the connection of the Symphony of Fate? ”
Kismet didn't let Saul check his body, resulting in Saul now having to guess a lot when he reviews the game.
Although there is no evidence, Saul always feels that what happened to Kismet has something to do with the diary.
He closed the diary, "Kismet can't do it, so I'll have to change my target." Do you want to consider half-elves? ”
Thor thought for a moment, then gave up on the idea.
Elves are not the same as other races after all. His current base is still in this wizarding world. And the elves have been obliterated by the consciousness of the whole world.
To connect with the elves is to oppose the will of the whole world.
This is equivalent to hindering one's own development, and the gains outweigh the losses.
However, there are other ways he can help the elves.
After all, in addition to separating Byron from the elves, Thor is also very interested in some of the traits shown by the half-elves.
Now he found that the half-elf could not only see the red worm, but also seem to be able to control the red worm, which was ......
It's so useful!
The fifth goal failed, and Thor had no other goal for the time being, so he could only return to Byron's rented house first.
As a result, before I could go in, I saw Douglas who had just come out of the next door.
Saul had met Douglas once these days when he was in and out of Byron's place, but he didn't initiate a conversation.
There were no red worms on the other side, and Thor was not in the mood to discuss academic knowledge with other wizards right now.
When two people meet, they look at each other and don't even nod their heads.
This time, however, Douglas took the initiative to stop Saul.
"Hello, are you also helping the Stargate Council with the Red Worm?"
Saul was about to enter the house, and he looked back at the man in front of him who was exuding a third-order wizard's spiritual power fluctuation, "Hello, Mr. Douglas, it turns out that you also know about the Red Worm. ”
Knowing the red worm, but there is no red worm on his body, and now Thor knows, including him, there are four people, and now there is Douglas.
Solton was in no hurry to go back, and he walked down the steps of the porch to the low fence between the two villas.
"Actually, there are not many people like us, but there are not many people who have not been persuaded by Speaker Alik." Douglas put one hand on the fence, "I thought you had joined the Stargate Council research at first, but recently it turned out that you and they don't seem to be in the same group. ”
"I'm not optimistic about their plans." Thor shrugged.
"yes." Douglas lowered his head, unable to see the other party's expression clearly, "When I was young, I always felt that my home was not good, and I didn't know how sinister the world could be until I was outside." ”
Thor's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal.
"Me too." Saul followed Douglas's words, "If we can't even protect our own world, even if we go outside, it's a dead end." ”
"Then it seems that we are on the same page." Douglas smiled in satisfaction, but quickly turned to a sigh, "It's a pity that the Stargate Council seems to be open, but it is actually domineering. I can't listen to other people's ideas at all. ”
Is that an idea?
Saul believed that Douglas suddenly appeared when he returned and took the initiative to talk, definitely not really wanting to complain to him about the powerful Stargate Council.
So, it's time to reveal some real purpose, right?
However, Douglas did not talk about his thoughts outside unbridledly, and he invited Saul to his home to continue the exchange.
Saul readily agreed.
Douglas's house, like Byron's, had multiple levels of isolation. Prevent outsiders from prying eyes through witchcraft or other means.
After following Douglas into the next house, going underground, and seeing the things in the room, Thor asked with some surprise, "Are you secretly experimenting with red worms?" ”
It turned out that Douglas had set up a special laboratory in the basement.
Here gravity fails, and almost everything is fixed to the wall.
And the only thing that hasn't been fixed is the red worm.
There were three red worms in the room, not very large, the longest of which was no more than a meter.
The three red worms were all floating silently in the air, and Thor quickly recognized that they were inactivated red worms.
Thor flew around the Red Worm and found it the same as the one Alik had given him.
At the very least, this means that Douglas already has the same ability to create inactivated red worms as the Stargate Council.
Considering that there might be only one or a few people on the other side, Thor once again realized that the person in front of him was really a very powerful third-order wizard.
When the other party mentioned the Stargate Council just now, the disdain in his words made Thor vaguely feel that the other party was not simple. That's why I'm willing to communicate with him more and follow him into the laboratory.
He thought he might be able to get some useful inspiration or information from Douglas, but he didn't expect to see the results of the experiment firsthand.
Thor couldn't help but look back at Douglas at the door, "Lord Douglas, you have single-handedly caught up with the research results of hundreds of people in the Stargate Council. It's amazing! ”
Douglas just smiled and didn't look very smug, "I still have two companions, and this is the result of our joint efforts." ”
"Oh? Where your companions are now, I can't wait to talk to you about these amazing species from the outside world. Saul asked eagerly.
"I'm afraid not so lately. After studying the inactivated red worms, our experiments hit a bottleneck, and the two of them went separately to find a breakthrough. Without new ideas, I'm afraid it won't come back anytime soon. ”
"That's right. However, it is still exciting to see such powerful experimental results. I'm just starting to find a way to create my own inactivated red worms. These days it's just going out there looking for live red worms, but I didn't expect that I was just starting out, and you had already reached the end. ”
Thor is not at all stingy with his compliments.
"That's the end." Douglas remained calm, "Although we have obtained the deactivated red worms, there is no way to find a suitable way to control them. ”
Douglas spread his hands to Thor, "We've been stuck in this step for a long time, and the reason why we took the liberty to stop you was to see if you had any new ideas. ”
"After all, we all want to find a way to fight against the Eye of the Abyss by studying the powerful red worms from the outside world."
