Chapter Thirty-Eight: After the First Sight of the Worm
After being in the Stargate Council for so long, I can finally see the Queen of Worms. Despite the fact that the proposer was Murridge, Saul did not refuse.
Unexpectedly, the Queen of Worms is not on the side of the hidden world controlled by the Stargate, but in the underground base where Thor and Agu once been.
But after thinking about it, Thor also understood that he should never put the living Red Worm and the Queen too close, as that would lose control of the Red Worm. And if the queen worm had enough intelligence to see so many red worms become inactive, I am afraid that she would not be honestly controlled by the Stargate Council as before.
The Saul were transferred from the laboratory to the underground base.
And the person who greeted him was an acquaintance who he didn't expect.
"Curry?" Thor glanced back at the Stargate wizard who had come with him - Alik naturally didn't come.
"Thor." Ke Rui has always been expressionless, but at this time he showed a slightly bitter smile, "I didn't expect to see you here." ”
"You've regained consciousness?" When Thor saw Curry's appearance, he knew that she had escaped her anomaly in Port City.
"Hmm. When I met you, I wanted to pass on the news of the Red Worm to you, but I was taken away halfway through. Curry led Thor inside the base, "It wasn't until I was brought here that I realized that I had been being watched by the Stargate Council. As an object of observation for several years. ”
Ke Rui had been trying to report to the Glow family, but later learned that the person controlling her was the Stargate Council where the Glow family was located.
Even some high-ranking wizards in the Glow family participated in the Stargate's migration plan. And the rest of the clan almost all retreated back to the side of the glow world and no longer went out.
"It's just me, because I passed the test of the red worm, and was finally brought back here."
"Hmm. But he survived. Thor didn't judge Glow and Stargate's actions, "You're in charge of watching over the Queen of Worms here?" ”
"Yes, after observing me for a while, Xingmen found that my willpower is good, and it can be used to influence the spirit of the queen worm, so he arranged for me to work here."
In fact, it is an arrangement, and it is no different from confinement, after all, she is not allowed to leave the underground base.
"Red worms don't affect people's sanity, but does the queen have this ability?" Thor immediately discovered the key information.
Curry nodded, "We analyze that this should be the unique self-protection ability of the queen worm. Other red worms did not inherit this ability from the queen. Thankfully, they don't have that ability. ”
Otherwise, the stargate would have turned into the other party's test subject.
Thor had been talking to Curry about the Red Worm, and Douglas, on the other hand, seemed to be more interested in Curry.
"You're the witch who was brainwashed several times by the wizards of the Stargate Council, but was always able to break free?"
The first time Curry saw Douglas, I don't know why, but looking at this man with a calm expression, she was a little nervous.
This emotion came out of nowhere.
She was naturally afraid and jealous of enemies stronger than her, but she was nervous for no reason when facing Douglas.
"I, I don't know why I was able to break free." Curry whispered.
"Then it must be that your spiritual power is relatively special, you are majoring in light attribute witchcraft, right?"
"Yes."
"We can look into it later. The clearer you know about yourself, the better you can help you get promoted. Ling is now desperate to be promoted by promoting foreign objects, but he has put himself in a predicament. ”
Ke Rui was stunned, she had not been able to advance to the third order because she had not been able to save enough resources to open the door in her body, but she didn't expect that a wizard would tell her today that understanding herself was more important than using the outside.
Doesn't she know herself well enough?
If she could really push that door open directly by herself, how could she delay so many years?
But Douglas said it so firmly that Curry couldn't help but want to believe it again.
What if the other party can provide her with ideas for promotion?
Thor listened quietly on the sidelines, waiting for Curry to nod in agreement before saying, "Then I'll take a look too." I've fought with Wizard Curry, so I know each other well. ”
Naturally, Curry had no objections, and with Thor by her side, she felt more at ease.
While speaking, several people have already arrived at the warehouse where the insect queen is.
A huge warehouse in pure white.
At this time, Agu in the diary suddenly opened his mouth to remind.
[Master, this is the original Murridge...... Kill Fiona's warehouse. 】
"Got it." Without hesitation, Thor followed Curry inside.
The inside of the warehouse is also white, and there is no indication that anyone has been beheaded here.
Curry walked to the center of the warehouse, invited the others to enter, and activated the wizarding circle to close the warehouse door.
"The queen of insects is under this warehouse, and it is strictly forbidden to use spiritual power after entering the lower floor, so as not to cause a riot of the queen of insects."
In the end, Ke Rui explained to a few people the precautions for entering the lower layer, and only after everyone expressed his position did he open the witchcraft circle under his feet.
The circle lit up with a faint light, just like the circle that Fiona was about to encircle and suppress Agu, only this time there was no dark arc of light, but the ground continued to move and deform, and finally formed a downward staircase in a matter of seconds.
Thor followed Curry down, because he had to be careful to restrain his mental power, he could only observe with the naked eye, but now even with the naked eye, he could see a lot of things.
As his vision sank under the slab, a huge pool of water appeared in front of him first.
There's a lot of space underground, and there are plenty of facilities and a few wizards and apprentices.
But the main attraction is the huge pool not far away.
The water in the pool is muddy, and the surface of the water is slightly undulating.
As he descended the stairs, Thor saw a large white egg underwater.
He had seen similar eggs in the Stargazing Tower's lab, which were new carriers made from a combination of inactivated red worms and Facelings, also stored in liquid.
But the feeling of this in front of him to Thor was completely different.
The other "eggs" are dead, the ones in front of them are alive, and they are clearly aggressive.
The moment Thor saw it, its shell swelled as well.
Ke Rui, who was still walking down steadily, immediately quickened his pace and almost ran downstairs.
Thor stood still, letting the others speed past him.
"Something seems to be wrong." Douglas walked slowly and leisurely to the same steps as Thor, "This is the queen of worms they think so much?" Feel...... It's not very powerful. ”
Thor stared at the queen worm in the pool, who was still struggling violently, and at this time several wizards had already jumped into the water, and he didn't know how to appease the queen.
"Don't say that." Saul whispered to Douglas, "This is what we asked for. ”
Scold, don't scold yourself.
"Ahem." Douglas coughed lightly and stopped talking.
Thor thought to himself, "Did the Queen of Worms become so excited because she found me?" Or will it be able to spot the hidden star eyes on my body? ”
