Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 970 is useful

"You mean Douglas not only independently created the inactivated red worms, but also intended to use them to fight against the Eye of the Abyss?"

Byron, who had just returned from the observatory late at night, was so astonished when Saul recounted what had happened that day after meeting Douglas that he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Yes." Thor rubbed his fingertips together. "He and I were thinking the same thing."

But Thor thought of using the Red Worm to fight the Eye of the Abyss because it could also harm the Eye of the Stars.

How did Douglas come up with this idea?

"He said if I could find a way to control the red worms, he would be willing to share with me the formula for making inactivated red worms."

"It's a bit too much of a coincidence." Byron sat down opposite Thor with a serious expression. "We were just thinking about turning the Red Worm into a half-elf's body when Douglas proposed a cooperation plan that hit the nail on the head."

"Yes," Thor continued nodding, "so I suspect he might know what we're going to do. That's why he went to the trouble of demonstrating his abilities to me first."

"Do you think he's cooperating with us just to get a way to control the inactivated red worms?" Byron asked Saul.

"I don't think it's that simple, but I agreed anyway. Our current plan to control the inactivated red worms is through half-elves, and this method should be very difficult for others to replicate."

"But it's best not to let others discover the existence of the half-elves." Byron was somewhat worried. If they didn't expose the half-elves, how would they control the red worms? That Douglas is no simple man.

Thor didn't seem to care about that. He said innocently, "We didn't say that the method we provided would definitely succeed. However, we can definitely improve it based on the situation in the class. For example, if the half-elf is a pure spirit, then we can suggest trying to control the red worm with a pure spirit."

"I understand," Byron nodded. "But what kind of pure body do you intend to provide?"

Thor stroked his chin confidently and said, "No problem, I'm very good at creating pure spiritual entities."

But at this moment, Agu spoke in his diary.

【Master, instead of creating an unstable spiritual entity for you temporarily, let me help you.】

Thor didn't want Agu to take the risk, after all, they didn't know what difficulties and dangers they would encounter in controlling the red worm.

What a half-elf can do, Agu may not be able to do.

But Agu also had his own ideas.

[The last time I met Fiona, she said the Stargate Council fused insects and... Faceless Men together as materials to resist contamination, so I'm curious to know how they did it.]

The Faceless Ones are a race that can barely protect themselves, so they rarely contact each other. But that doesn’t mean he can remain indifferent when he hears that his own people are being used as materials.

Thor and Byron exchanged a glance, both understanding Agu's intention.

Thor was also very curious about this, but he couldn't guarantee that Alec would treat him like anyone else, able to leave whenever he wanted even after participating in the experiment.

He was more convinced that the other party would use other methods to forcibly bind him to the chariot of escaping the wizarding world. Even if he managed to escape, he would be skinned alive.

Unless he has other leverage to resist Alek's power and strength.

or……

Thor finally agreed to Agu's suggestion and took him to see Douglas next door.

"I've already experimented with using a soul to control insects. But a soul can't even withstand simple pollution, so how could it possibly withstand red worms?"

Douglas didn't approve of the proposal at all and rejected it immediately.

At this moment, Agu voluntarily emerged from the diary—Agu and Herman were authorized by Saul to come and go freely.

"Lord Douglas, I have a certain resistance to pollution. Perhaps you could give it a try."

When Douglas saw Agu, his eyes immediately glued to him, looking him up and down several times.

"A consciousness entity. It seems to be the Faceless Man's consciousness entity. Real... rare." The smile on his face already revealed his attitude.

Douglas turned to Thor and asked, "Where did you get this consciousness from?"

Thor didn't expect that the other party would recognize Agu's identity right away.

No wonder he's a wizard living in Iskepar.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Agu is not using a container to conceal his identity.

Thor truthfully stated, "This consciousness was given to me by my mentor."

Douglas's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. "Since you possess such a unique consciousness, then we can try experimenting with it."

Douglas took Thor back into his underground laboratory.

Upon entering the laboratory, Saul discovered that there was one more inactivated red worm than last time.

"Where did you get the red worms? Now you can share how to deactivate them, right?"

"Of course," Douglas replied without hesitation. "I obtained the new red worm by killing a wizard from the Stargate Council. As for its inactivation, it's actually quite simple; it's just that verification is rather troublesome."

Douglas took out a notebook he had prepared beforehand. "The red worms that are not deactivated are too autonomous and completely uncontrollable, but the deactivated red worms are very obedient."

Saul took the notebook and began to read it, while Douglas's voice continued to ring out.

"By injecting powerful contamination into the bodies of red worms in an instant, they can be temporarily inactivated. The stronger and more abundant the contamination, the longer the inactivated state will last. I'm not familiar with the Stargate Council's experiments on maintaining the inactivation of red worms. But these four of mine should last for ten years without any problem."

"Is it that direct and violent?" Thor hasn't actually used the Black Tide Contamination to deal with the Red Worms yet. But if extremely strong contamination could produce inactive Red Worms...

Is that too easy for him?

Thor tightened his left hand, subtly rubbing the tip of his index finger.

While Thor was examining methods to deactivate the red worm, Douglas was testing Agu's abilities.

"You have good aptitude; you could definitely try to control the red worm. There's a 30% chance of success."

For Douglas, a 30% chance is already a fairly high probability.

"I will modify the red worm based on your data to improve your compatibility as much as possible. When you get back, you must train according to the method I told you."

Agu stepped down from the lab table and returned to Thor's side.

"I can see you value this consciousness quite a bit, so I won't keep him here. Follow my instructions to let him adapt to the level of contamination and the way mental energy vibrates. Once he can come into contact with the inactivated red worms, then bring him over."

Thor stood up. "Then we'll head back now."

When they reached the door, Saul stopped again. "Aren't you afraid I'll take your method and run away?"

Douglas laughed nonchalantly and said, "You may run away, but the continent isn't."

These words were somewhat puzzling. Thor gave the other person a deep look, and then left with Agu.

After Saul left, Douglas quietly closed the door.

The moment he closed the door, it was as if a beam of light swept through the entire room.

A tiny figure jumped down from the chandelier overhead; upon closer inspection, it was Ophelia.

"Are you planning to send Thor to the Abyss to create inactivated red worms? Are you going to use that opportunity to kill him?"

"No," Douglas said, then glanced sideways at the restless Ophelia, "You're not allowed to touch him either."

Douglas tugged at the collar of his wizard's robe, slightly impatient, and a hint of dark aura emanated from him, but he quickly concealed it.

"He is useful to me."
