Chapter 973 Is It You?
Fiona was almost at her limit after soaking in the turbid liquid.
The person on shift change patted her on the shoulder, indicating that she should go up.
Fiona took one last look at the behemoth in front of her, handed the pipeline instruments in her hand to her successor, and then quickly surfaced.
As soon as he emerged from the water, two wizard apprentices came forward respectfully and handed him two blankets.
When the two blankets were unfolded, densely packed leech-like insects were revealed.
Fiona frowned slightly. Even though she had experienced it several times, she still didn't like the feeling of these bugs crawling on her body and absorbing moisture.
But it has to be done this way. Other ways of wiping and bathing cannot recycle the liquid on the body without causing pollution.
Fiona closed her eyes and let the two apprentices wrap the towel around her in front and behind.
In an instant, the mouths of hundreds of leeches on the towel began to suck on her body.
Fiona closed her eyes and tried to ignore the tingling sensation in her body.
Ten minutes later, the two apprentices removed the blanket and found that all the bugs hanging on it had grown fatter, and Fiona was completely clean.
Only then did she go to change her clothes.
The wizard apprentice quickly hung up the blanket, and then carefully used tweezers to pick up the plump white insects one by one and put them into the crucible.
When the crucible was full of worms, another person began to heat the crucible with natural fire. The worms inside soon began to melt like butter. From a pot of wriggling worms to a pot of milky yellow liquid. There was a thin layer of worm skin floating on top.
The wizard apprentice used a glass stirring rod to break up the thin outer layer, and the liquid in the crucible became even more turbid.
After the liquid cooled slightly, they poured it back into the pool where Fiona had just dived.
This avoids the waste of turbid liquid in the pool to the greatest extent.
At this time, Fiona had already come to the second floor and reported the situation to Murridge.
"The mother insect's condition is not very good. I'm afraid she won't be able to lay eggs in the short term."
Murrich's telescopic eyes bulged and retracted.
"The queen may be regaining consciousness." He kept turning the ink pen in his hand, letting the ink inside splash onto the table. "We need more faceless men. At least one complete one."
Fiona immediately suggested, "The man we saw next to the wizard Thor last time was most likely a faceless man. He seemed to know me, I can go and lure him over."
Murich smacked his lips. "What a pity. You don't know, he is just the soul of a faceless man, occupying a good container to move around. The soul of a faceless man is even rarer, but it has no use value for our experiment."
Fiona lowered her head, not hiding the disgust on her face, "But maybe he knows the whereabouts of other faceless men."
"It's a pity that the faceless people rarely communicate with each other, and most of them are alone."
"Then you can give it a try."
"Heh, Fiona, you know, he's Thor's man. The Speaker hasn't given up on winning over Thor yet."
Fiona raised her head again and said stubbornly: "What the Speaker needs is Wizard Thor, not his slave. If Wizard Thor is dissatisfied, we can compensate him. If he is still dissatisfied, I can let him do whatever he wants."
Murridge threw the quill in his hand onto the table and leaned back in his chair. "Why bother? Fiona, we can look somewhere else."
Fiona clenched her fists. "I don't want to let any of the Faceless Men go. You know, they killed my father!"
Murrich sighed and said, "It's up to you. After all, you are the most suitable person to cultivate the mother insects and insect eggs."
After getting permission, Fiona immediately sent people to investigate the whereabouts of Thor and Agu.
Thor, they couldn’t find him, and as a result, they couldn’t find Agu’s whereabouts either.
After smashing a table, Fiona decided to go find Agu herself.
Fiona spent several days waiting outside Byron's house and finally waited for Agu to go out alone.
She immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to ask: "Have we met before?"
When Agu saw Fiona, he was stunned at first, then turned his head and tried to avoid her.
But Fiona took a side step and stood in front of Agu again.
"You called out my name when we met last time. Why are you pretending not to know me now? I checked. You and Wizard Byron came to Iskeper a year ago. Before that, you had never been to Olga and had never seen me. I think the connection between the Faceless Man and me should be just that one thing, so I came to talk to you." Fiona stopped Agu and said a series of words, not giving Agu any chance to escape.
Agu had no choice but to stand still and said, "Fiona, I have to complete the task assigned by the master now. We can talk later."
Fiona finally stepped aside after hearing Thor's instructions.
Agu quickly lowered his head and walked away from her, looking as if he couldn't bear to look at her directly.
Although Fiona stepped aside, she immediately followed behind.
On the second floor of the villa, Sol left the window and said, "She has been waiting outside for so many days, her patience must have run out. Let Agu take her for a walk again."
Penny landed on Thor's shoulder and said, "Brother Thor, you actually asked Agu to find Fiona. Aren't you afraid that he will be too excited to see his own daughter and tell everything?"
Thor was not worried at all. "They know exactly what we want to do, and we also know exactly what they want to do. Agu won't tell you, and it doesn't matter if he does. Besides, Agu also needs an opportunity to confront Fiona."
"Fiona was only five years old when she followed Agu, and they didn't separate until she was fifteen. Normally, the father in Fiona's memory should be Agu. And Agu obviously cares about his daughter. According to the current situation, we will have a conflict sooner or later... Let Agu make his own choice."
Agu, who was responsible for the task and the decision, just wandered around outside for a few times and completed the so-called task assigned by Thor. Finally, he was pulled back by Fiona to the underground base where they first met that night.
"Actually, you came to me to find the Faceless Man, right? Your experiment... are you short of materials again?" Walking in the underground base, Agu was the first to break the silence.
"You are also a Faceless Man, right? I do want to know the whereabouts of other Faceless Men through you, but if you don't want to tell me, I can't do anything about you. After all, you are his servant." Fiona continued to take Agu deeper into the base, and to a depth that Agu had not entered the last time he came.
A few wizards and apprentices can still be seen at the entrance of the base, but the further you go inside, the fewer people there are.
Agu was not afraid of what traps Fiona would set for him. Now that Thor was not far away from him, as the consciousness in the black pages of the diary, he sent a simple signal to Thor.
When Fiona first watched their whereabouts, Thor discovered her movements and deliberately waited for a few days before letting Agu show up.
If Fiona really had something important to talk to Agu about, she should be in a hurry now, and it would be less likely that she would take a detour.
So before Agu deliberately appeared, Thor had already made an agreement with Agu that if there was any danger, he would immediately call Thor to take back the diary from him.
But before Agu followed Fiona away, he had already decided that he would not inform Thor unless it was absolutely necessary.
It was not until the two of them had walked to a place where there was no one around that Agu spoke again. This time, he mustered up his courage because he knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would have to face the old incident from many years ago.
"If you don't really want to know about the Faceless Man, then what do you want to know by coming to me?"
Fiona stopped in front of a white warehouse, turned around and faced Agu, her mouth straight and her eyes half-narrowed, "I want to know, were you the one who killed my father back then?"
