Chapter 979 Equivalent Exchange
Half a month later, Thor returned from the State Continent, with Kismet following him.
At this time, Kismet seemed to have forgotten the blow of not becoming the fifth target. Every day, he stayed with Thor, either playing music or lying on the roof looking at the sky.
Saul thought his problem might be related to the diary, but Kismet didn't want to talk about it.
However, Kismet became very obedient, although he did not mention what happened to him.
The only stubbornness left is probably the phrase "brother master".
After getting off the airship, Thor asked Kismet, "Do you still want to follow me back?"
Kismet tossed the harp in his hand like a ball. "No, I'm not interested in the experiment you're doing now. If you want to kill someone, you can come to me."
After hearing Kismet's words, Thor, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and turned around, "Can I kill anyone?"
"Ha! Anyone can do it!"
"I'll remember what you said."
After leaving the airship, Kismet did not follow him as expected, and Thor had no way of tracking him as to where he was going.
Since this guy regained his fourth-order strength, he has been much more low-key than before. As long as he doesn't want to show up, it seems that no one can find him.
As they walked toward Byron's residence, Beth in the diary reminded Saul.
[This Kismet seems to be following you, as if he is afraid that you will never come back after returning to State.]
Thor kept walking, "You noticed that too?"
She suddenly appeared on the airship when he pretended to be angry and returned to State, and left when he received a letter from Douglas asking him to come back.
Although this Kismet is no longer causing trouble, it seems that he is even more complicated than if he were.
"What do you think he wants to do?"
[I really don't know him. But I think he is not a member of the Stargate Council.]
"Yeah, if it wasn't the Stargate Council, who would be afraid that I would leave and never come back?"
Thor raised his hand and saw a man walking against the flow of people.
It's Douglas.
"Are you done with your temper?" Douglas said, holding a book in his hand. "If you don't come back, I'll think you really don't plan to cooperate with the Stargate Council."
Douglas handed the book to Thor and said, "If you still want to continue the red worm experiment, take a good look at it."
Thor took the book but didn't open it in a hurry.
"Have they agreed to exchange information with us?"
“It’s not easy,” Douglas said. “Our experimental progress is far behind theirs. We don’t have the final say.”
Seeing Thor frown, Douglas smiled and said, "However, I have provided them with some ideas on how to deal with the pollution of the starry sky. If they can succeed in the experiment, they will agree to leave the most important red worms to us."
"The most important red worm?" Thor immediately understood that this was the key to increasing the number of red worms. "Could it be that the red worm is also responsible for the reproduction of the queen worm?"
"You guessed right again. Yes, it is just like the queen ant, whose only responsibility is to reproduce offspring. But now Speaker Alick will only let us see the red worm if we help them make a breakthrough."
"What ideas did you provide? Could you tell me?"
"Of course!" Douglas agreed without hesitation, "We are now partners facing the end of the Black Tide together, so we should share information."
He pointed to the carriage waiting for them on the road and said, "Let's talk while we walk. Speaker Alick knows that you are coming here by airship today, and he is waiting for us at the Observatory Tower."
"Oh, and that Murridge you mentioned is said to be going to apologize to you in person."
Saul did not feel proud when he heard that Murich wanted to apologize. Although they only met briefly, Saul could see that the guy was a very rational guy.
Deliberately bullying Agu and angering Thor probably have other purposes.
Perhaps Thor's move to put pressure on Muritch by joining the Stargate escape plan and increasing his importance in the Stargate was also part of the other party's plan.
But Thor has thought it through. It doesn't matter whether there is a conspiracy or what kind of conspiracy it is.
The matter of the Black Tide Doomsday involves the fate of too many people. All Thor can do now is to move straight forward towards the goal. Encounter obstacles? Just crush them.
Because he had expected it, Thor showed no emotion when he saw Murich at the entrance of the observatory tower.
Douglas used the secret language to tell Thor, "Now this Star Gate escape plan has come to an end. If what you come up with can further improve the experimental results of Speaker Alick, we can get the Queen of Worms."
Stargate Escape Plan, that's what Douglas always called Stargate's Migration Plan in private.
I have to say it is very accurate.
The two ignored Murridge at the door and walked straight in. Douglas often went in and out of the Observatory Tower to study red worms during this period, and he was very familiar with the layout and structure here.
He even led Thor to the underground laboratory without anyone showing him the way.
【Saul, you have to pay attention to this Douglas. 】
While walking, Beth in the diary suddenly reminded Saul.
"Um?"
[This guy showed up a little suddenly. It's nothing, but I always feel that this guy has an inexplicable calmness. ]
Saul put his hand to his lips, coughed twice, and secretly glanced at Douglas.
The middle-aged man with a thin back walked in front of him on the right, with his head held high and his chest puffed out, walking calmly. Every time he moved forward or stopped, he had a firm confidence that everything was under control.
It was as if he was not taking Thor into someone else's territory, but taking Thor to visit his own territory.
This is Thor's first time entering the core laboratory of the Observatory Tower.
This is a dazzlingly white laboratory.
The area is very large, but there are not many wizards here. Before entering the laboratory, Thor and Douglas went through multiple inspections and disinfection to prevent the contamination they brought with them from affecting the experimental results in the room.
The core laboratory is equipped with numerous magic light sources, and the white light softly illuminates every corner of the room.
The ground and the ceiling were covered with silver-white pipes. These pipes were exposed, crisscrossing and entwining with each other, converging together and then spreading out in all directions.
It is like a sophisticated and complex circuit board, and also like the vascular tissue throughout the human body.
All the information and energy are finally gathered in a huge glass column in the center of the laboratory.
Thor carefully avoided all the pipes and walked to the glass column.
He placed his hand on the glass, which felt smooth and cool. The glass column was filled with a liquid like milk, and occasionally there were some silver particles reflecting light.
Before coming in, Douglas told Thor that he could not release his mental power in this room, otherwise it would affect the experimental results. Of course, the Stargate Council also deployed many devices to contain mental power, which would sound the alarm and isolate the experimental subject as soon as abnormal mental power was discovered.
"The first batch of experimental subjects are being incubated after being improved by Wizard Douglas. They cannot be observed now. Wizard Thor can take a look at the experimental data we have recorded here."
Murich walked up. Although he clearly felt that Thor disliked him, as one of the main persons in charge of the project, he didn't care at all about Thor's opinion of him.
Anyway, if Thor and the others want to use the red worms to fight against the Black Tide Doomsday, they can only obtain the Queen Worm after they leave the wizarding world by assisting Stargate in completing the experiment.
To this end, Wizard Douglas has signed a cooperation agreement with Speaker Alick.
Exchange knowledge for survival.
Very reasonable.
