Chapter 984 The target is the Queen of Insects
Because of a sudden uprising of red worms, Saul and Douglas's first visit was forced to be interrupted.
Although the Stargate Council invited Thor to visit, it had no plans to let Thor and Douglas take over any experiments and maintenance related to the Queen of Worms for the time being.
Thor naturally knew that it was not the right time yet, so he did not force it. He followed the guidance of other wizards and left the underground base.
"What a shame." Douglas sighed, crossing his arms.
"Don't worry, once the Queen's condition stabilizes, we will invite you two to visit again as soon as possible."
Douglas smiled but said nothing.
Thor was watching from the side and felt that Douglas was not regretful for not being able to visit the red worm, but was regretful... for not being able to study Corey's mental power.
After all, Corey is now the main wizard who stabilizes the Red Worm, and it is impossible for him to leave with Wizard Douglas.
"I'll go back first." Although Thor was unable to observe the Queen of Insects up close, he did gain some important information and planned to go back and share it with Byron and the others.
After a polite greeting, Thor disappeared immediately.
The next second, Thor returned to Byron's residence.
Byron and the other consciousnesses did not leave, but waited in the room.
After they knew that Thor would go to participate in the Stargate Council's migration experiment today, they had been waiting at home, waiting for Thor to bring back first-hand information.
So when Thor suddenly appeared in front of Byron, Byron immediately stood up and asked, "How is it?"
"The experiment was feasible, but the soul inside didn't last long before it became alienated. I tried to clean the pollution on the shell, but failed."
Thor briefly talked about the migration experiment and then changed the topic to visiting the actions of the queen of red worms.
"After the success of this experiment, the people from the Stargate Council really gave us some benefits. Murrich proposed to visit the Queen of Zerg. The location was under the white warehouse of the underground base that Agu had visited. However, when I saw the device that besieged the Queen of Zerg, the Queen of Zerg suddenly rioted, and the visit was forced to stop."
Byron was really excited when he heard the news about the Queen of the Red Worms. He frowned and asked, "Why would the Queen suddenly riot?"
"Maybe it has something to do with me. I just can't be sure now. But I will try to see the Queen of Worms again as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will take you with me, and you... take the half-elf with you."
Byron was stunned. "You want the half-elf to enter the insect queen's body?"
The red worms that Byron raises, which are taller than others, are the bodies he prepared for the half-elf.
But Thor didn't expect that he would want the half-elf to enter the body of the Queen of Insects.
“Isn’t that too risky?”
"The situation we are facing now does not allow us to avoid taking risks. Moreover, the red worms have a queen, and they will most likely obey the queen's command. Instead of using a safe method, it is better to be more radical. After all, our enemies will not wait for us to develop slowly."
At the end of the dream, even Iskeper fell into the abyss, so the ending of the other two continents would probably not be much better.
And Thor and others in the dream must have made great efforts to resist the doomsday of the black tide.
Even so, they failed in the end.
That means their preparations were not enough to keep them all alive.
Let's get a little more extreme.
What kind of inactivated red worms would cost the wizard's life to produce, and it would take a lot of time. The quantity would definitely not be satisfactory.
Then add the red worms that have not been inactivated, so that the number of red worms can at least double.
Although the red worms that have not been inactivated may not obey his commands, Thor only needs these cannon fodder to consume the powerful pollution of the black tide and does not need them to be more obedient.
The inactivated red worms can be used for fine-tuning to perform more delicate tasks.
Byron looked at Thor's suddenly heavy expression, and this time he didn't say anything more. He just nodded and said, "Then I'll listen to you."
After a pause, Byron said, "I'll go talk to the half-elf."
But just as he finished speaking, Byron turned his head as if he heard something, and then he said, "He agreed."
Thor smiled.
It seems that the half-elf also understands that if he really wants to save the elven consciousness trapped in the world wall, it is not enough to just parasitize on a small red worm.
The greater the return you want, the greater the risk you have to take.
After they reached a consensus, Thor summoned all the consciousnesses again.
"Next, you also have to get ready to get busy."
Beth, Wind Demon, Agu and Herman all nodded.
"Yes, Master."
Thor's eyes swept over the first two people.
This time, even the two of them unreservedly called him "Master"? However, he didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Go."
The four consciousnesses immediately left in four different directions.
When Thor closed his eyes, he could feel the line of their fate dancing before him.
"Time is a bit tight... We still need to get the Stargate Council to act faster."
A month had passed since the failure of his first visit to the Queen of Worms. During an experiment, Thor suddenly found the problem in the combination of the red worms and the faceless man's materials, and directly transformed the original egg-shaped carrier into a worm shape.
In other words, he turned the red worm into a flesh-colored worm, much like the non-toxic cabbage worms found in vegetable gardens.
However, this change in external form directly raised the degree of fusion between the carrier and the wizard's soul to a higher level.
Even Alec couldn't help but look at Thor several times in surprise.
"This improvement seems to be just a small change in a parameter in the fusion, but in fact, it takes thousands or tens of thousands of attempts to hit an effective improvement. How did you find this parameter within a month?"
"Lucky," Thor said frankly.
Anyway, he would not say that he was lucky and that he figured it out after trying for half a month in his diary.
Douglas on the side raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but quickly calmed down.
Alec knew that Thor didn't want to tell the real reason, so he didn't ask too much.
If time was not too tight, Stargate could have found this parameter by giving it a few years or even more than ten years to slowly experiment, so the process by which Thor found it is actually not that important.
"You've always had good luck." Alick replied meaningfully.
"Then when will the practical experiments for third-level wizards begin?" Thor asked.
He sped up the progress naturally because he wanted to speed up the progress of the Star Gate Migration Experiment as a whole so that he could get the red worms earlier.
"Of course, let's start now." Alick didn't waste any time and directly asked Murich to bring the third-level wizard who was designated last time.
The unfortunate third-level wizard was now ready for his soul to leave his body.
Although he looked pale when he was just assigned, as a third-level wizard, his mind would naturally not be particularly fragile. He has adjusted his state these days and is ready to face the experiment in his final state.
Only in this way can we increase the probability of coming back alive.
The wizards of Stargate were extremely efficient. On the afternoon of the same day when Thor completed the improvements, they had already prepared all the materials and facilities for the second practical experiment.
Everyone once again used the teleportation array to arrive at the star gate at a very high altitude - using the teleportation array is also a means for the Star Gate Council to hide the location of the star gate.
The third-level wizard, who had already completed the initial adaptation to the new carrier, suddenly turned around and asked Alick with his worm-like body, "Speaker, if I lose control and become mutated like the wizard in the last experiment, can you save me once? I will try my best to regain my sanity."
Alick didn't even look at the experimental subject and replied calmly: "Okay."
