Chapter 700: Star Gate Opened (Part 2)
"So, now the Stargate Council and Sky City originally thought that Pearl would die immediately after the black tide erupted in the Borderlands?"
"Yes." Kismet smiled, "But they probably didn't expect that the person who was supposed to be the first to be sacrificed would survive by chance due to your influence. This is probably a joke that fate played on them."
Kismet even knew that Pearl was able to survive because of his influence?
Did he also know his origins and information about the Fantasy World? He asked tentatively, "How do you know that Pearl is not dead?"
Kismet almost immediately guessed what Thor was afraid of, and he touched his chest and saluted again.
"Please don't worry. I can't spy on your actions. The reason why I found out that the wind demon is not dead is entirely because..." He shook the half black page in his hand, "I can sense that the connection between the wind demon and you has not been severed."
"You are the one who changed the inevitable death of the wind demon. I think this is probably related to your special identity. After all, you are a magical being who made the diary escape from my control."
"Is it because before I came to this world, I was a life in the form of a destiny line?" Thor thought to himself. Now, the information about his past seemed to have lifted the fog of mystery.
But the complexity and mystery within it did not reduce Thor's doubts in the slightest.
"Kismet, do you...know about my past?"
The other party shook his head. "I also want to know, but my intuition tells me that before heading to the stars, I shouldn't think about such far-off things."
"Intuition... Is this your ability, or is it something the diary gave you?"
However, Kismet did not seem to want to discuss this issue. He turned his head and abruptly changed the subject.
"The Wind Demon is not dead yet. Now it's the Stargate Council's turn to have a headache."
Kismet still has secrets.
However, as long as the other party stops playing tricks in helping him advance to the fourth level, Thor has no intention of exploring the secrets that others are unwilling to reveal.
He continued naturally: "Pearl was used by someone, and her body was connected to the Black Tide and the Star Gate at the same time. Originally, this connection would quickly dissipate due to Pearl's death. But now, she is not dead. Even though she is no longer a normal wizard, because she is still alive, the connection between the Black Tide and the Star Gate has not been cut off!"
When Kismet heard Thor's guess, he licked his lips with a smile, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Yes, the fun is about to begin."
Thor was not excited at all. He thought of what Camus said when he stopped him.
"Are there more dangerous monsters behind the Star Gate? Will this world be destroyed?"
"The world will definitely not be destroyed, but the star gate has been opened, and it is uncertain what will happen to the people in this world."
Saul was a little uneasy.
The current wizarding world is somewhat powerless against the Black Tide, not to mention the pollution of the starry sky.
He came to the platform again and saw Byron and his companions carrying the motionless Brando and Corey to the Wizard Tower.
Something was clearly wrong with those two men.
When Thor went to find Kismet, he discovered something abnormal about the two men. Seeing that they were not in danger of life and were just immobilized by some kind of witchcraft, he did not rush over.
He continued to Kismet, "We need to sever this connection. Do you have any other ideas besides killing Pearl?"
Killing Pearl was no longer an option.
Even if Thor was willing to sacrifice her to cut off contact, there was no way he could find her now.
He is still trying hard to repair himself in the colorful world and can't even pick up the fragments.
Kismet was not worried at all. "You don't have to worry so much. The wizards in this wizard world are not that incompetent. Just leave this matter to the Stargate Council and the Tribunal!"
Thor suddenly realized, "Oh, so this is what you said, they don't have the time and energy to bother me in the next three years?"
Kismet smiled slyly, "Yes, as long as we keep them busy, they will naturally have no time to meddle in other people's affairs. And I am very good at causing trouble for others."
Then he said goodbye to Thor, "My dear brother, I am leaving now. After all, helping you advance to the fourth level is not something that can be accomplished simply by talking about it. It seems that I will not be able to rest well in the next few years."
Before leaving, he remembered one more thing.
"Oh, by the way. This is for you." Kismet pulled out two slender golden "straws" from his palm.
He raised his hand and shook it, and the "straw" unfolded and turned into two golden pages, which quickly turned into fine glitter and disappeared.
At the same time, Thor sensed that there were two more golden pages in the diary.
"I didn't give you these two golden pages before because I didn't want you to be too deeply affected by the diary. But now that you have completely mastered the diary, you don't have to worry about it becoming its nourishment. Naturally, I can give you the remaining pages without any worries."
Looking at his empty palms, Kismet was dazed for a moment, but soon he smiled again.
"From now on, if you want to weave a new page of destiny, it's up to you."
Kismet raised his arms high and stretched.
"It's really hard to do one thing for hundreds of years." As he said this, he slowly walked to the edge of the platform, leaped down.
Accompanied by a few lonely string sounds, Kismet's figure rose and fell several times and disappeared on the plain.
…
At the same time, the parliament members who had already dropped an object code-named "Anchor Point" to the other side of the star gate were nervously waiting for the information from the other world to be transmitted back by the Anchor Point.
But the wizards responsible for observing the status of the star gate became increasingly nervous.
Finally, one of them stood up, walked around all the people and objects on the observation platform, and went directly to the inverted pyramid building above to find the Speaker of the Stargate Council.
After passing many levels, the wizard almost trotted his way to the Stargate Chancellor Alick.
"Mr. Speaker, there was an accident during the experiment, and the stargate is not closing as planned."
Alick sat on a bench, facing the sky because the gravity of the room was reversed ninety degrees.
Murich was standing next to the Speaker. He turned around when he heard the words, and his eyes, like a monocular, quickly adjusted the focus.
"The Speaker has noticed it." Muritch was flipping the scroll in his hand quickly. At the same time, there were several feather pens floating beside him. No one was controlling them, but they were writing quickly.
"The current problem is that the coordinates used by the Council to locate the star gate have established a connection with the Wind Demon, and the Wind Demon is now missing, but not dead, so the connection has not been cut off, and the star gate has temporarily left a gap. Maybe in an hour, the gap will automatically close, but it is also possible that an accident will occur and it will not close anymore."
Muric said to Alick apologetically, "I'm very sorry, Speaker. I didn't expect that the wind demon Pearl could survive the double pollution."
Alick waved his hand. "If all experiments develop according to our established design, then it can't be called an experiment."
Alick did not stand up, and his voice was calm, "No one can guarantee what the results of the experiment will be. But it is not entirely a bad thing that the Star Gate is not completely closed."
Everyone waited quietly for Alick's instructions.
"We can start the second phase of testing now," Alick said, his voice carrying a hint of thunder. "Activate the anchor point and send back information."
While the others were still in shock, the first assistant, Murich, already had a smile on his face.
"Yes, Speaker." He lowered his head and began to record quickly again. "It's a good thing that the star gate is not completely closed. I don't have to worry about the clarity of the signal anymore."
At this time, Alick spoke again.
"If the star gate is not closed and the danger level of the signal sent back is not more than level three..."
Everyone looked up, some were uneasy, some were expectant.
"...Then send someone to observe the gap."
The wizard who came to deliver the message felt his legs go weak. He asked tremblingly, "Speaker, don't we need to convene a member council? Wouldn't it be too fast to just conduct gap observation?"
Murridge was an absolute supporter of the Stargate Chancellor. When he saw someone raising an objection, his eyes immediately focused on the other person's face.
But Alick was not angry. He just explained calmly: "The member council needs to be convened only when conducting a time-travel experiment. This is the resolution made before the Stargate experiment began. As for the progress... we need to be as prepared as possible. You don't know which will come first, tomorrow or the black tide."
This volume ends.
Thor is promoted to level three, and a little bit of his past is revealed.
Gao Leng's diary will gradually change into the shape of Thor.
After nearly falling victim to the eye of the storm, Thor will also be changed.
