Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 969 Douglas's Invitation to the Experiment

Thor raised his hand and waved it, causing the ground to churn and quickly destroying several magic arrays on the ground.

But he was not in a hurry to leave.

Thor jumped onto a big tree, found a sturdy trunk, and sat down against the main trunk.

He raised his hand, and the diary appeared in his palm.

The dark red hardcover book floated quietly as always.

But as soon as Thor had a thought, the hardcover book opened automatically, the pages rustling as they turned from the first golden page to the last black page.

Saul stared at the diary from beginning to end, but found no connection whatsoever to Kismet.

"I discovered the fragment of Kismet's soul that he had hidden in the diary just as the diary had come to recognize me as its master."

"That fragment of soul was indeed returned to Kismet completely, without a trace remaining. But why can't the fate lines on Kismet accept the connection of the Symphony of Fate?"

Kismet didn't let Saul get a physical check-up, which means that when Saul is reviewing the events now, he can only guess at many things.

Despite the lack of evidence, Saul always felt that the things about Kismet were related to the diary.

He closed his diary. "Kismet isn't an option, so I'll have to find another target. How about considering a half-elf?"

After thinking for a moment, Thor gave up on the idea.

Elves are different from other races, after all. His current base is still in this wizarding world. But the elves have been erased from the consciousness of the entire world.

To connect with the spirits through the thread of fate is to go against the will of the entire world.

This is tantamount to hindering one's own development, which is a losing proposition.

However, he can still help the elves in other ways.

After all, besides separating Byron from the elves, Thor was also very interested in some of the traits exhibited by the half-elves.

Now he discovered that the half-elf could not only see the red worms, but also seemed to be able to control them, which...

This is so useful!

With his fifth objective unsuccessful and having no other targets for the time being, Saul could only return to the house Byron had rented.

Before I even went inside, I saw Douglas coming out from next door.

Saul had seen Douglas once during his visits to Byron these past few days, but he did not initiate a conversation.

Since the other party didn't have any red worms, Thor wasn't in the mood to discuss academic knowledge with the other wizards.

When the two meet, they just glance at each other and don't even nod.

This time, however, Douglas took the initiative to call out to Thor.

"Hello, are you also helping the Stargate Council research the Red Worm?"

Thor paused as he was about to enter the house. He turned back to look at the man in front of him, whose mental energy was emanating from a third-tier wizard. "Hello, Mr. Douglas. So you also know about the Red Worm."

He knows about the Red Worm, but he doesn't have one on him. So far, there are only four people Thor knows, including himself, and now Douglas has joined them.

Solton wasn't in a hurry to go back. He walked down the steps of the porch and came to the low fence between the two villas.

"Actually, there are quite a few people like us, but not many have been persuaded by Speaker Alec." Douglas rested one hand on the railing. "At first, I thought you had also joined the Stargate Council's research, but recently I've discovered that you don't seem to be one of them."

"I don't have a high opinion of their plans," Thor shrugged.

"Yes." Douglas looked down, unable to see the other person's expression. "When I was young, I always felt that my home was not good enough. It wasn't until I went out into the world that I realized how dangerous the world could be."

Thor's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Me too," Thor echoed Douglas. "If we can't even protect our own world, we'll only be dead if we go outside."

"Then it seems we share the same view." Douglas smiled with satisfaction, but quickly turned to a sigh. "Unfortunately, the Stargate Council appears open, but it is actually domineering. It simply won't listen to anyone else's ideas."

So this means you have an idea?

Thor believed that Douglas's sudden appearance and conversation upon his return was definitely not because he genuinely wanted to complain about the powerful Stargate Council.

So, shouldn't we reveal some of our true intentions now?

However, Douglas did not openly discuss his ideas in public; instead, he invited Saul to his home to continue their conversation.

Sol readily agreed.

Like Byron's house, Douglas's house had multiple layers of security to prevent outsiders from spying on its interior through witchcraft or other means.

After following Douglas into the next house and down into the basement, Saul saw the things in the room and asked with some surprise, "Are you secretly conducting experiments with red worms?"

It turns out that Douglas had set up a special laboratory in the basement.

Here, gravity fails, and almost everything is fixed to the wall.

The only one that wasn't fixed was the red worm.

There were three red worms in the room. They were not very big, and the longest one was no more than a meter long.

The three red worms floated silently in the air, and Thor quickly recognized them as inactive red worms.

Thor flew around the red worm and found that it was the same as the one Alek had given him.

This at least indicates that Douglas already possesses the same ability as the Stargate Council to produce inactivated red worms.

Considering that the other party might be only one or a few people, Thor realized once again that the person in front of him was indeed a very powerful third-tier wizard.

When the other person mentioned the Stargate Council, the disdain in his words made Thor vaguely feel that this person was not simple. That's why he was willing to talk to him more and follow him into the laboratory.

He thought he might be able to get some useful inspiration or information from Douglas, but he never expected to see the results of the experiment directly.

Thor couldn't help but turn to look at Douglas standing in the doorway. "Lord Douglas, you've actually caught up with the research achievements of over a hundred people in the Stargate Council all by yourself. That's truly amazing!"

Douglas just smiled, not looking particularly pleased. "I have two more partners; this is the result of our joint efforts."

"Oh? Where are your companions now? I can't wait to discuss these amazing creatures from the outside world with you all," Thor asked eagerly.

"It's probably not going to happen anytime soon. After discovering how to deactivate the red worm, our experiments have hit a bottleneck, and the two of them have gone off to look for a breakthrough. Without new ideas, they probably won't be back anytime soon."

"I see. But it's still exciting to see such amazing experimental results. I've only just begun searching for a way to create inactivated red worms myself. These past few days I've been going out to find live red worms. I never imagined that I'd only just begun while you've already reached the finish line."

Saul was very generous with his praise.

"This is hardly the end," Douglas said calmly. "Although we have obtained the inactivated red worms, we have no way of finding a suitable way to control them."

Douglas spread his hands toward Thor. "We've been stuck at this point for a long time. The reason I stopped you was to see if you had any new ideas."

"After all, we all want to find a way to fight the Eye of the Abyss by studying the powerful red worms in the outside world."
