Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 979

Chapter 965 Deactivation

Thor looked around at the materials and equipment in the laboratory. With his current knowledge and the information he got from Kismet, he could tell that these were all experimental projects for studying red worms.

One of them seemed to be an anti-pollution experiment. It was exactly the same equipment Thor used when doing treatment research.

“Lord Alick, these equipment in front of you are all used to protect against starry sky pollution, right? If you can resist starry sky pollution, you can resist black tide pollution. Do you really think it’s safer to leave than to stay?”

“The starry sky is not all dangerous. If you can find a suitable world, it can become the new base of the Stargate Council.”

“I understand.” Thor nodded.

Alick’s tone was calm when he explained to Thor, but this calmness also meant that his decision would not change.

Similarly, Thor’s expression also told Alick that he would not participate in the Stargate escape plan.

Alick understood, “Then we won’t interfere with each other.”

“I want to take Senior Byron away.”

“He has passed the test, and Stargate will not interfere with his actions. Stargate will not force anyone who has passed the test to leave or stay. If he doesn’t leave voluntarily, he will become a burden to Stargate. Oh, by the way, he needs to complete the mission he has accepted.”

“No problem.” Thor naturally agreed. If Byron has any questions, he can still help.

Thor looked at the red worms floating in the air through the transparent window of the balloon room, thinking that the atmosphere was so good, why not make another deal.

“Speaker Alick, are these red worms already dead?”

“I haven’t been able to accurately define their life or death. After all, I have limited knowledge of their life forms. But…” Alick raised his hand and took out a half-meter-long worm.

This red worm was the same as the worms floating outside. No matter how Alick touched and kneaded it, it didn’t move.

“They may not be dead yet, but they have no reaction to external stimuli. I named this state inactive. Red worms in the inactive state are more stable. As long as you can see it and realize its existence, you can use its power. It can be said that they are a kind of idealistic existence.”

“Idealistic existence? This subverts my common sense of witchcraft.” Thor stretched out his hand to touch the red worm, but only touched the air.

But Alick next to him was still holding the shell of the red worm with his hand.

“Did you use any special power to touch it?”

Alick shook his head, “Think about it again.”

Was it because of the power of idealism?

Thor raised his hand again, and when his fingers were about to touch the red worm, he told himself in his heart.

“Okay, I can touch it.”

The fingers continued to move closer, and then…

still nothing was touched.

Alick smiled, “It seems that you still need to do more psychological preparation. Simply telling yourself that it exists is not enough.”

Thor is really interested in the red worm now. It can be said that it is a species outside the two power systems of magic and mental power.

And thinking of the concealment ability of this red worm and its ability to resist the black tide, Thor made up his mind.

“Does the Stargate Council have any other uses for these inactivated worms?”

The inactivated red worms scattered everywhere like garbage in the hidden world looked like waste that could not be processed.

Alick looked at Thor seriously, “Do you want these inactivated worms?”

“In fact, I want both inactivated and non-inactivated ones, but I can’t control the non-inactivated ones now. If I find a way, I might just go outside and catch some.”

“What do you want in exchange?” Alick said bluntly.

Thor crossed his arms and thought, “Since they are thrown here, and there are so many of them, they must be of little use. I won’t rush to use my trump card.”

He took out a witchcraft notebook from the space nameplate and held it in his hand, “You know, I have some experience in treating black tide pollution. This one is a magic circle that can make the black tide within a certain range lose its pollution ability. I call it the Degeneration Formula.”

“Inactivation, inertization, it seems that our ultimate goals are the same.” Alick pulled another half-meter-long inactivated red worm in front of Thor, “I agree to this deal. But, can you take it away? If it’s not convenient, you can also come here to study. I’ll leave you a few laboratories here.”

“After keeping Senior Byron, you want to find an excuse to keep me as well?”

Thor looked at the red worm in front of him.

It must be said that Alick is quite good at doing business. He wants to use interests and desires to bind people.

However, Thor did not speak, but suddenly raised his hand to grab the mouthparts of the red worm, pulled it in front of him and shook it twice.

The motionless red worm swayed along with Thor’s power, but was not thrown away.

Thor raised his head and met Alick’s surprised eyes, “No need to prepare a laboratory for me. I have already caught it.”

Alick slowly narrowed his eyes and showed an ambiguous smile, “You learn very quickly. You are really similar to Gorza in some places. It’s a pity that he died in the Eye of the Abyss, otherwise, I really want to see the day when you surpass him.”

Thor lowered his eyes and said calmly: “I always believe that the mentor will come back.”

The scrutinizing gaze did not disappear until Thor left the hidden world side of the star gate.

Thor emptied his mind, told himself not to think about anything, and returned to the observatory with the dead worm like a dead fish.

At this time, there were other people on this floor, but although they saw Thor, they did not react.

It seemed to confirm what Alick said that the Stargate Council did not set any checkpoints. Everyone who joined their experiment joined voluntarily for their own interests.

But is this really the case?

Thor was not in a hurry to draw conclusions.

After he came out of the Stargate World, he sensed Byron’s location.

The senior did not go far, just a few floors below the Observatory.

This time, Thor did not hide his magic fluctuations and walked back to the ground leisurely.

At this time, he put one hand in his pocket and held the red worm he had just exchanged in the other hand. “I will find a living worm later and compare it to see the difference. It would be best to analyze what the Stargate got in the process of the red worm’s inactivation.”

Alick did not tell Thor how to inactivate the red worm. This is obviously the experiment that the Stargate Council currently values most. And the most valuable part of this experiment is what is extracted from the worm from life to death.

Thor walked outside the Observatory and waited for Byron to complete the task and come out to find him.

But he didn’t wait for Byron, but waited for another person.

“Thor, how come you are so elusive?” Jeffrey called Thor and came over with an excited face, “I passed the initial selection, but I still need to be trained with the official wizards. Only after passing the training can I officially join the Stargate Council.”

Jeffrey looked proud.

He asked Thor excitedly, “What about you?”

Thor had a nonchalant smile on his face, “I probably won’t be able to join the Stargate Council.”

Jeffrey was a little happy, but he had to be careful to restrain his happiness. He comforted Thor, “It doesn’t matter, even if you can’t join the Stargate, you can try to stay in the Principality of Olga. Because the Stargate headquarters is nearby, the research atmosphere here is still very strong. If you stay here, the probability of being promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice will definitely be higher than returning to the State Continent.”

When Jeffrey was called away by others, the silver butterfly laughed, “Brother Thor, you are being comforted. Strange, can’t he see that the magic fluctuations in your body are wrong?”

Thor looked at Jeffrey’s back, “It’s a bit strange.”

He narrowed his eyes and observed Jeffrey’s back attentively.

Finally, Thor saw a hint of red on Jeffrey’s collar.

There was a thumb-sized red worm on his neck.

Looking closely, the red worm should be longer than the thumb, but Thor couldn’t figure out how long it was.

Because the head of the worm had already drilled into Jeffrey’s skin, and he didn’t know how deep it was buried.
