Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 966 The Half-Elf's Request

"So, the Stargate Council's sudden and frequent recruitment of wizards and apprentices is simply to increase the number of test subjects?"

Thor wanted to call Jeffrey back to see if he had been affected by the red worms, or to see if the current Jeffrey was still the wizarding apprentice he had met at the airport.

But with Alek right under his nose, Thor chose not to make any rash moves.

The Stargate Council can tolerate Thor going in for a stroll, but they will not allow him to disrupt their experiments.

Even if it's just one sample in an experiment.

Thor looked away and continued to wait for Byron.

He raised his left hand, looked at the inactive red worm in his hand, and asked the several consciousnesses in the diary.

What do you think this species resembles?

"It's like cryptocrystalline!" Penny was the first to answer. "I haven't had cryptocrystalline in ages."

"It does resemble it, but it is still very different from true cryptocrystalline materials."

Beth: [Shor, how did you touch this red worm?]

Despite failing to make contact with the conscious algae and the Nightmare Butterfly, Thor managed to capture the Red Worm after only two attempts.

"Penny and Xiaozhao were dealing with inactive red worms, which is different from my current situation. The inactive ones are easier to handle now. But the prerequisite is that you have to accept its existence."

"I'll go first." Penny couldn't sit still any longer, so she jumped out of her diary and pounced on the insect.

But just like Thor's first attempt, it came up empty-handed.

"Strange, why can't I touch it? I keep telling myself that I can touch it."

Saul shared his method: "Don't emphasize it in your mind. The more you emphasize it, the more it means you don't actually believe it completely, and you need repeated suggestion to hypnotize yourself. This makes it even less likely you'll encounter the red worm. Only by subconsciously acknowledging the worm's existence can you come into contact with it."

Thor held the inactive red worm between two fingers and showed it to Penny. "Actually, I took a shortcut. Otherwise, I would have needed to get used to it for a while before I could touch the red worm."

There is a half-closed star-shaped eye in the palm of his hand.

Starry Eyes, who had once fought the Red Worm to a standstill, immediately lost interest after discovering that the Red Worm in Thor's hand was inactive.

Although it wasn't completely sealed off, the dead insects were no longer dealt with.

Penny saw the starry eyes and was so frightened that she backed behind Thor's head.

Thor closed his fingers, covering his half-closed, starry eyes.

In the face of the inactivated red worm, the star-shaped eyes had an absolute advantage.

Thor suspects that Deathbringer, whose basic ability is observation, can see everything that exists in every sense of the word.

The red worm seems to exist only in consciousness, but as long as consciousness can see, then star-like eyes can see it.

The stars are visible to the eye, therefore they exist and can be influenced by it.

Therefore, when Thor uses his star-eye ability, the red worm that he is looking at can be caught by him.

"If I'm not mistaken, I could also try to catch a live red worm using this method. But the problem is that the star-like eyes can't last too long, otherwise they'll pollute the surrounding environment."

Although the pollution caused by the star-shaped eyes is not yet highly aggressive, its eerie nature is already at its peak.

Thor strongly suspects that if he were to lose control of the Star Eyes one day and allow them to go out of control, the wizarding world would instantly see hundreds or even thousands more Star Eyes aggregates.

While pondering the question of the starry eyes, Thor finally waited for Byron to come out.

"Thor, why are you holding a dead worm?" Byron saw Thor first, and then noticed the red worm in Thor's hand.

Thor held up the insect in his hand. "Senior, can you touch it?"

Byron casually touched the red worm. "Sure. After all, I'm carrying one on my back. Although it's weightless, I can clearly feel it clinging to my back and pressed against the top of my head."

Byron did indeed know that he had a worm inside him.

Thor was a little worried. "Will the worm on your body affect your consciousness? I once saw Wizard Corey, and she also had a red worm on her shoulder. Although it was smaller, I noticed that her consciousness seemed a little blurred."

Byron nodded seriously. "I have some guesses. We'll talk about it when we get back."

"Where to?"

"Agu and I rented a house in Olga, not far from here. We can normally see the Stargazing Tower through the window. I started by studying the Stargate Council's movements from there."

Agu explained this in his diary.

After Byron was taken away, I was afraid they would find me at the registered address, so I never went back.

Thor understood. "Now that we're on the right track, let's go back and talk. By the way, have you set up the lab in that rented house?"

Byron nodded. "Standard."

A laboratory is a basic necessity for every wizard.

Even rooms rented to wizards are equipped with private rooms for conducting experiments.

After Saul followed Byron back, he discovered that the area he was renting in was one of those housing complexes specifically for wizards.

Each house is a separate villa, and the houses are separated by walls engraved with magical circles.

Just as the two were about to enter the villa's courtyard, someone suddenly called out to Byron.

"Byron the Wizard, it's been a long time. You're finally back." A middle-aged man stood in front of the villa next door, smiling and greeting Byron.

Byron simply hummed in response, and the other party seemed used to it and did not get angry.

Saul glanced at Byron's neighbor, feeling as if he had seen him somewhere before.

However, he was absolutely certain that neither the other party's mental strength nor their magical fluctuations were things he had never seen before.

The two entered the house. Byron led Saul to the laboratory.

On the way, Thor couldn't help but ask, "Senior, who was that third-tier wizard who just greeted you? Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?"

"You mean the wizard Douglas from earlier? You probably haven't seen him before. He was living here before I arrived. The landlord said he'd been here for three or four years."

"A third-tier wizard who has lived in the Duchy of Olga for three or four years? I shouldn't have met him before. Strange, why does he feel so strangely familiar?"

Thor racked his brains for a long time but couldn't remember where he had seen the wizard Douglas. He had no choice but to give up for now and continue asking Byron about the red worms on his body.

Byron only turned to Thor, who was already fiddling with the experimental table, after entering the laboratory and activating the magical array that isolated information and silenced conversation. He said, "I carried such a big worm because the half-elf wanted it. Hmm? Oh, I see."

Byron suddenly started talking to himself as he finished speaking.

But Thor had already suspected that it might be the awakening of the half-elf within Byron.

"Let me tell you." Byron's demeanor changed drastically in an instant, and a blurry face vaguely appeared near Byron's right ear.

"What you hold in your hand, and what Byron carries on his back, are excellent vessels for elves and half-elves whose consciousness has been distorted. Therefore, I ask Wizard Byron to help me cultivate suitable vessels for elves to inhabit!"
