Chapter 983: First meeting with the Queen of the Worm After
being in the Stargate Council for so long, I finally got to see the Queen of the Worm. Although it was Murrich who proposed it, Thor did not refuse.
Unexpectedly, the Queen of Worms was not in the hidden world controlled by the Stargate, but in the underground base that Thor and Agu had visited.
But after thinking about it, Thor realized that he couldn't put the living red worms too close to the Queen Worm, otherwise he would lose control of the red worms. And if the Queen Worm had enough intelligence, seeing so many red worms become inactive, she probably wouldn't be controlled by the Stargate Council as before.
Thor and his companions moved from the laboratory to the underground base.
The person who greeted him was an unexpected acquaintance.
"Corey?" Thor turned around and glanced at the Stargate wizard who followed him - Alik naturally did not come.
"Thor." Corey usually had no expression, but at this moment he showed a slightly bitter smile, "I didn't expect to see you here."
"Have you regained consciousness?" When Thor saw Corey's appearance, he knew that she had gotten rid of the abnormal state she was in in the port city.
"Yes. After I met you, I wanted to pass on the news about the Red Worm to you, but I was taken away on the way." Corey led Thor to the interior of the base. "It was not until I was brought here that I realized that I had been monitored by the Stargate Council. I had been an observation subject for several years."
Corey had been trying to report the news to the Glowing Family, but later she found out that the person controlling her was actually the Stargate Council where the Glowing Family belonged.
Even some high-level wizards from the Glowing Family participated in the Star Gate migration plan, while the rest of the family almost all retreated back to the Glowing World side and no longer went out.
"It was only me who was brought back here because I passed the test of the red worm."
"Yeah. But at least I survived." Thor did not judge the actions of Glow and Stargate. "Are you responsible for taking care of the Queen of Insects here?"
"Yes, after observing me for a while, Star Gate found that I have good willpower and can be used to influence the Queen of Insects on the mind, so they arranged for me to work here."
In fact, it was no different from being imprisoned, as she was not allowed to leave the underground base.
"Red worms won't affect people's mind, but does the Queen of Worms have this ability?" Thor immediately discovered the key information.
Corey nodded. "We analyzed that this should be the Queen's unique self-protection ability. The other red worms did not inherit this ability from the Queen. Fortunately, they do not have this ability."
Otherwise, the Star Gate would have become the other party's experimental subject.
Saul kept talking to Corey about the red worm, while Douglas seemed more interested in Corey.
"Are you the witch who was brainwashed several times by the wizards of the Stargate Council, but always managed to break free?"
It was the first time Corey met Douglas. For some reason, she felt a little nervous looking at this calm man.
This emotion came out of nowhere.
It was natural for her to be fearful and daunted when facing an enemy stronger than her, but she was inexplicably nervous when facing Douglas.
"I, I don't know why I was able to break free." Corey said in a low voice.
"That must mean your mental power is special. You majored in light-attribute witchcraft, right?"
"Yes."
"We can study this later. The clearer you are at understanding yourself, the better it will help you advance. You are now eager to advance by improving external things, but this will only put you in trouble."
Corey was stunned. The reason she had not been able to advance to the third level was because she had not been able to accumulate enough resources to open the door inside her body. But she did not expect that today a wizard would tell her that understanding oneself was more important than using external things.
Didn't she know herself well enough? If she could really open the door directly through herself, why would she have wasted so many years? But Douglas said it so confidently that Corey couldn't help but want to believe it again.
What if the other party can provide her with ideas for promotion? Thor listened quietly on the side, and waited until Corey nodded in agreement before saying, "Then I'll take a look too. I've fought with Wizard Corey before, so I know him better."
Corey naturally had no objection. She felt more at ease with Thor by her side.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the warehouse where the Queen of Insects was.
A huge pure white warehouse.
At this time, Agu in the diary suddenly spoke up to remind him.
[Master, this is the warehouse where Murridge...killed Fiona.]
"Got it." Thor followed Corey in without hesitation.
The inside of the warehouse was also pure white, and there was no sign that anyone had been beheaded here.
Corey walked to the center of the warehouse, invited others to come in, and then activated a magic circle to close the warehouse door.
"The Queen of Insects is right below this warehouse. Once you enter the lower level, you are strictly prohibited from using your mental power to avoid causing the Queen of Insects to riot."
Corey finally explained to them the precautions for entering the lower level, and only after everyone had expressed their opinions did he activate the witchcraft circle under his feet.
The magic circle glowed faintly, and it was the same magic circle that Fiona had used to encircle Agu. However, this time no dark arcs of light appeared. Instead, the ground kept moving and deforming, and finally formed a downward staircase within a few seconds.
Thor followed Corey down. Because he had to carefully restrain his mental power, he could only observe with his naked eyes, but now even with his naked eyes, he could see a lot of things.

As his vision sank little by little below the floor, a huge pool first appeared before his eyes.
The underground space is large, with many facilities and several wizards and apprentices.
But what attracts the most attention is the huge pool not far away.
The water in the pool was murky, and the surface was slightly undulating.
As Thor was walking down the stairs, he saw a huge white egg underwater.
He had also seen similar eggs in the laboratory of the Observatory Tower. Those were new carriers made from inactivated red worms and faceless men, and were also stored in liquid.
But the one in front of him gave Thor a completely different feeling.
The other "eggs" were dead, but the one in front of him was alive and clearly aggressive.
The moment Thor saw it, its shell suddenly bulged.
Corey, who was originally walking down the stairs steadily, immediately quickened his pace and almost ran down the stairs.
Thor stood still and let the others speed up and pass him.
"It seems something went wrong." Douglas walked slowly to the same step as Thor. "Is this the Queen of Insects that they think so highly of? She doesn't seem very powerful."
Thor stared at the Queen Worm in the pool, who was still struggling violently. Several wizards had already jumped into the water, and no one knew what method they were using to appease the Queen Worm.
"Don't say that." Thor whispered to Douglas, "We paid a lot for this."
When you curse others, don't curse yourself.
"Cough cough." Douglas coughed twice and stopped talking.
Thor thought to himself: "Did the Queen of Insects become so excited just now because she discovered me? Or can it discover the star eyes hidden in me?"
