Chapter 957: Immunizer
Agu looked confused when asked. Fiona on the other side saw Agu's expression and immediately realized something was wrong.
Agu seemed to have no idea what red worms were!
Her expression changed, and the seriousness just now turned into impatience.
"The wrong person has been arrested again. Can those people in charge of monitoring be more serious?"
The wizard next to her walked over to Fiona and comforted her: "After all, the people in charge of supervision don't know the actual situation either, so it's normal to have misunderstandings."
"What about this?" Fiona pointed at Agu. "They said it with such confidence that I even started to chant the slogan."
The wizard who came later glanced at Agu with disdain, "Then..."
As a result, he was suddenly interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Then please invite him in as a guest."
Fiona and the other wizard were stunned. They turned around and saw the person coming and quickly saluted respectfully.
"We will entertain this guest. Can you guys go back?"
Thor noticed that the person who came was also a third-level wizard. He looked very strange. His two eyes had been transformed into the shape of telescopes, and the structure seemed to be able to extend and shorten.
"My name is Murridge, please follow me."
Muric first glanced at Agu, then his eyes moved to his shadow.
Thor smacked his lips, then emerged from Agu's shadow, "How did you find me?"
Muric actually took the initiative to salute Thor first, "You are very powerful in combat, and your medical skills are superb. Fortunately, your concealment ability is not the best among the third-level wizards, otherwise how can others survive!"
"Brother Thor, he scolded you!" Penny was horrified, "Didn't you say something like, 'A sweet tongue but a sharp tongue'?"
"You're wrong." Thor told Penny to shut up.
"Huh?" Murich on the opposite side was stunned.
Thor turned to Murrich and praised him sincerely, "Your eye transformation is really amazing."
"You're too kind." Muric raised his hand and tapped his eyes with his index finger, causing them to shrink back a little and look a little more normal. "Please follow me. After all, there are many people here, and there are some things they are not suitable to know."
Thor brought Agu and followed Murich, but Agu was reluctant to leave and couldn't help but look at Fiona next to him.
Fiona behaved well in front of Murridge, but still glared back at him fiercely when she noticed that Agu was looking at her.
Agu couldn't help but let out a nostalgic laugh, then he left Fiona confused and hurried after Thor.
The three of them entered the largest house in the middle of the underground base. There was no one else in such a large room.
After Murich closed the door, he naturally asked Saul to sit down.
When Muritch raised his hand, vines suddenly grew out of the ground and quickly formed seats and coffee tables.
There were three tulips blooming in the middle of the coffee table. When the petals opened, amber liquid was revealed inside.
"This is a very popular scented tea in the Stargate Council. Would you like to try it, Lord Thor?"
Thor was not afraid of any tricks from Murich, so he just sat down, picked up the flower bud and took a sip.
The stem of the flower bud automatically extended when Thor picked it up, and retracted into the coffee table when Thor let go.
"The floral scent is very strong and has a special refreshing effect." But it's too sweet for Thor's liking. "So you are from the Stargate Council. I was wondering who would set up a secret organization near the Stargate Council. But why is the Stargate Council hiding like this?"
Murich kept a polite smile on his face and didn't speak until Thor finished asking.
"Since you came here on purpose, it must be for the red worm, right?"
Thor tilted his head and didn't answer.
Murrich suddenly felt the pressure and curled his fingers. "In fact, the parliament did this for the sake of stability. The Star Gate experiment has been going on for more than four years. Currently, the gate is maintained in a state that allows wizards to enter. As long as the parliament is ready, it can send more people to break through the world barrier and go outside the Star Gate. But in recent years, we have found that other outside species have entered the Star Gate."
"This kind of outside creature is difficult to sense through conventional methods, so the gatekeeper didn't find it at all."
Thor put his hand to his chin, "Can't you just close the door?"
Murich smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "It took us sixty years to open the star gate. If it is closed this time, I don't know how many years it will take to open it again next time."
"Red worms can even devour third-level wizards, and you just let them go?" Thor did not directly tell Muritch about the giant worm he saw outside the observatory. Instead, he asked tentatively, "Do you know how powerful the most powerful red worms are now? Will they become a world-destroying existence like the black tide?"
Murich's eyes bulged out ten centimeters. "Don't worry about that. This world has no hope. The Star Gate will take qualified people away from this doomed world."
The people of the Stargate Council just want to escape.
Thor suddenly remembered this sentence. It seems that outsiders' evaluation of the Stargate Council is not wrong at all.
If only qualified people can leave, then what do the Glowing Family, who are also members of the Stargate Council, think? Thor asked, "What kind of people are considered qualified?"
"Of course you are qualified. As for the others... those who can see the red worms without external force are also qualified."
Murich smiled at Agu, "Of course, the qualifications I mentioned only include those who can join the Stargate Council's migration team. It doesn't mean that people who can't see the red worms can't leave this wizarding world. It's just that the Stargate Council's ability is limited, and we can only take those we are sure of."
Agu said nothing, but silently lowered his eyes. Anyway, no matter whether he escaped or walked away, he would still follow his master in the end.
As for Fiona, she seemed to be a qualified person, so he didn't have to worry too much.
Thor thought of Corey who disappeared in the port city. Her mental state seemed to be caused by the red worm on her head, but it was better than the Aule wizard who had been devoured by the red worm.
Since Corey simply disappeared, rather than leaving behind a corpse—which would have been much more convenient—it was very possible that Corey was still alive and a qualified person.
"You judge qualified people based on the red worms. Is it some characteristic of the red worms? How much do you know about red worms?"
"As expected of Lord Thor, you hit the nail on the head." Muritch seemed to be a flatterer. "The Parliament has indeed conducted in-depth research on the red worms. In fact, Speaker Alick discovered the existence of the red worms when they first entered the wizarding world. But at the same time, we also found that the special hiding ability of the red worms can help us hide ourselves and avoid danger in the world outside the star gate."
"You may not know that the wizarding world is now closed. The bad thing is that the channel for advancing from level 4 to level 5 is closed, but there is also an advantage, that is, our world will basically not be polluted by the starry sky. But one day we will have to leave, so how can we adapt to the outside world after staying in a safe environment for so long?"
"Then we can only rely on the power and talents of others first."
"So we divide people who have been attacked by red worms into those who are parasitized, that is, those who cannot withstand the red worms and are devoured. The opposite is the immune ones. For example, Wizard Corey, and your good friend... Wizard Byron."
