Chapter 959 Seeking Reinforcements
When he came out of the underground base, Agu had regained his composure.
It seems that after so many years of looking after the books in the wizard tower, he has learned to be indifferent.
"So you didn't recognize each other in the end?"
"Why do we need to recognize each other? She hates the Faceless Man, so why should I let her know that the man who raised her for ten years is also a Faceless Man?"
"Huh?" Thor shook his head. "Although from a bystander's perspective, hiding things like this is likely to cause greater misunderstandings."
He randomly cited an example he had seen.
"For example...how old was she when you pretended to be her father?"
"Five years. Five years and three months."
"She was so young, and you took over her father's identity after his death. And you left her when she was fifteen. She may not remember her original father, but she definitely remembers you. Maybe she thinks you abandoned her on purpose."
Agu lowered his head and said, "I really didn't have time to tell her the truth when I left."
Thor spread his hands. "So the truth is still unknown. If you don't say anything, nothing can be solved. What if you can find out her impression of her father?"
Agu frowned in distress. When he saw Fiona's cold and mocking eyes, he completely forgot about the methods Thor had mentioned and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Ah." Thor sighed, "For things like this, people who are watching usually think more clearly. If you still want to talk to Fiona, I can go back to the hotel and wait for you."
"No." Unexpectedly, Agu still refused. "She will definitely not come out to see me now. Let's wait until later. Besides, I am also... after all, it may not be of any help to her if I suddenly appear now. Now, Master, you still have to save Wizard Byron, don't you?"
"I respect your decision." Thor didn't force it, stroking his chin, "Senior Byron has been detained by them, and we don't know what situation he is in now. How can I really let them bully me?"
The two chatted as they walked towards the observatory tower, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"Master, how do you want to save people?"
Thor raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "Find a backer first!"
…
An encrypted letter was urgently sent to the Glowing Family and presented by Edgar to Patriarch Norton.
Norton's white light engulfed the letter in Edgar's hand, and the letter turned directly into ashes. But at this time, Norton had already completely understood the contents of the letter.
Then there was a long silence.
Edgar waited for a long time, but Norton didn't speak, and he couldn't help wondering, "Patriarch, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Norton then spoke, "Edgar, how many years can I still exist?"
Edgar said calmly, "If you can keep your mental body stable, four years should be no problem."
"Yeah, only four years left. Do you think Thor knows about this?"
"Wizard Thor should be able to see that too."
"Then why is he still giving me trouble?"
"Maybe... or should I go for you?"
"Will you go see Alick for me?"
"Then you go."
The young child in the white ball of light sighed.
Edgar thought for a moment and said, "How about you write a letter and I'll pass it to Speaker Alick for you?"
Norton chuckled. "Forget it. I'll go there myself. A letter alone won't do any good. They are very good at playing dumb. I think seeing my old age, Alick won't fight me."
After he finished speaking, before Edgar could say anything else, the white ball of light suddenly went out, and the already dim room completely lost its light source.
"Alas..." Edgar sighed helplessly and lit the lantern in his hand. Only then did he see the light again.
He stared at the bright wick in a daze. "If the Stargate Council was willing to listen to the advice and stop the spread of the red worms, why would you let most of your people return to the Glowing World for refuge?"
…
"Do you think the red worms will be brought to the State Continent by airships or ships? Should we notify everyone to evacuate urgently?"
Walking near the observatory tower, Thor looked up at the huge red worm on the tower. It had been two days since he last saw the red worm. It seemed to have grown a little bigger.
Although ordinary people cannot detect that slight change, Thor can clearly feel the change in the red worm's size.
"Your worries are not without reason." Agu has also gotten over Fiona's blows these days. "But haven't you already passed on the information?"
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, the Stargate Council will not intentionally transfer the red worms to other continents. After all, other fourth-level wizards will not agree. The Stargate Council might become the target of public criticism, and their plans might be destroyed by the enemy. But I'm still worried that those red worms will accidentally land in other places."
Sacrifice all or save a few, rationally everyone would choose the latter, but who can accept that their relatives and friends are among the majority who are sacrificed? And Thor doesn't think that staying in the wizarding world will definitely lead to his death.
Since Mentor Gorza said that the abyss is a corpse, it means that the abyss is not invincible.
Thor also thought about whether he could seize the star gate and take his friends away from this dangerous world, but the Death Teller in the Fantasy World and Floco who had been out had both warned Thor that the world outside was really not safe.
Being unable to cross the world wall if one is below level five is actually a form of protection that the world provides to its own indigenous people.
Therefore, even if Thor was confident that he could enter the fifth level, what about his friends? So Thor had decided that even if he had to leave in the end, he would only give up when the apocalypse really broke out and no one survived.
Thor looked down at the palm of his right hand, where another star eye popped out. But Thor was very careful not to let the star eye see the huge red worm on the observatory tower.
"Last time, the eye killed a red worm, but the star eye itself was also damaged, otherwise the pain would not be fed back to me. This is the first time I have seen something that can hurt the star eye. In other words, the mental power of that small red worm is already quite strong. If I fight against the red worm on the astronomical tower, I don’t know how many star eyes will be consumed. Will the feedback damage kill me directly?"
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly flashed through Thor's mind.
He suddenly stopped, carefully pressed the star-like eyes on his palm, and raised his hand to look at the huge red worm not far away.
"The Red Worm has the power to fight against the Star Eye. So... can it fight against the Eye of the Abyss?"
This was just an idea that came to him like inspiration. Thor didn't even know the characteristics of the red worms, let alone control them to fight for him. But this was a possible solution to the end of the world.
“Always make a bold assumption first!”
Thor looked at the red worm again, no longer considering it a complete pest.
"Everything has two sides. Isn't a crisis an opportunity?"
"Master, what are you talking about?" Agu asked in confusion.
Thor was in no hurry to tell us his idea, but just said: "Agu, how do you think we can make Speaker Alick change his mind about just escaping?"
[If you want to make a proud and stubborn person give up his obsession, you can only make him realize that he has no other way out. ]
Beth wrote elegantly in her diary.
"He's a fourth-level wizard. How can I leave him with nowhere to go? Should I find a fifth-level wizard... Hey, I think I know a fifth-level wizard!"
