Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 998

Chapter 983: First Encounter with the Insect Queen

being in the Stargate Council for so long, I finally got to see the Queen of Worms. Although it was Murich who proposed it, Thor did not refuse.

Unexpectedly, the Queen of Worms was not in the hidden world controlled by the Stargate, but in the underground base that Thor and Agu had been to before.

But on second thought, Thor understood that he couldn’t put the living red worms too close to the Queen of Worms, otherwise he would lose control of the red worms. And if the Queen of Worms had enough intelligence, seeing so many red worms become inactive, she probably wouldn’t be controlled by the Stargate Council as before.

Thor and his companions moved from the laboratory to the underground base.

And the person who greeted him was an acquaintance beyond his expectations.

“Corey?” Thor turned around and glanced at the Stargate wizard who followed him – Alik naturally didn’t come.

“Thor.” Corey had always been expressionless, but now she showed a slightly bitter smile, “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Have you regained consciousness?” Seeing Corey’s appearance, Thor knew that she had gotten rid of the abnormal state in the port city.

“Well. After I met you, I wanted to pass on the news of the red worm to you, but I was taken away halfway.” Corey led Thor to the inside of the base, “Until I was brought here, I knew that I had been monitored by the Stargate Council. I have been an observation object for several years.”

Corey had been trying to report to the Glowing Family, but later she found out that the person controlling her was actually the Stargate Council where the Glowing Family was.

Even some high-level wizards in the Glowing Family participated in the migration plan of the Stargate. And almost all other members of the tribe retreated to the Glowing World side and no longer went out.

“Only me, because I passed the test of the red worms, was finally brought back here.”

“Yeah. But I finally survived.” Thor did not judge the actions of Glow and Stargate. “Are you responsible for taking care of the Queen Worm here?”

“Yes, after observing me for a while, Stargate found that I have good willpower and can be used to influence the Queen Worm on the mind, so they arranged for me to work here.”

In fact, it is no different from being imprisoned, after all, she was not allowed to leave the underground base.

“Red worms will not affect people’s minds, but does the Queen Worm have this ability?” Thor immediately discovered the key information.

Corey nodded, “We analyzed that this should be the Queen Worm’s unique self-protection ability. Other red worms did not inherit this ability from the Queen Worm. Fortunately, they do not have this ability.”

Otherwise, Stargate would have become the other party’s experimental subject.

Thor kept talking to Corey about the red worms, while Douglas on the side seemed to be more interested in Corey.

“Are you the witch who was brainwashed several times by the wizards of the Stargate Council, but always managed to break free?”

The first time Corey met Douglas, for some reason, she was a little nervous looking at this calm man.

This emotion came inexplicably. It

was natural for her to be afraid and daunted when facing an enemy stronger than her, but she was nervous for no reason when facing Douglas.

“I, I don’t know why I was able to break free.” Corey said in a low voice.

“That must be because your mental power is special. You majored in light attribute witchcraft, right?”

“Yes.”

“We can study it later. The clearer you know about yourself, the better you can help yourself to advance. You are now eager to advance by improving external things, but you are putting yourself in trouble.”

Corey was stunned. She had not been able to advance to the third level because she had not been able to accumulate enough resources to open the door in her body. But she didn’t expect that today a wizard would tell her that understanding herself is more important than using external things.

Didn’t she know herself well enough?

If she could really open that door directly through herself, why would she have wasted so many years?

But Douglas said it so confidently that Corey couldn’t help but want to believe it again.

What if the other party could provide her with ideas for promotion?

Thor listened quietly on the side, and when Corey nodded in agreement, he said, “Then I’ll take a look too. I’ve fought with Wizard Corey before, so I know him better.”

Corey naturally had no objection. With Thor by her side, she felt more at ease.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the warehouse where the Queen of Insects was.

It was a huge pure white warehouse.

At this time, Agu in the diary suddenly spoke up to remind them.

[Master, this is the warehouse where Murrich… killed Fiona.]

“Got it.” Thor followed Corey in without hesitation.

The warehouse was also pure white, and there was no sign that anyone had been beheaded here.

Corey walked to the center of the warehouse and invited others to enter, then activated the witchcraft array to close the warehouse door.

“The Queen of Insects is under this warehouse. Once you enter the lower level, it is strictly forbidden to use mental power to avoid causing the Queen of Insects to riot.”

Corey finally explained to the few people the precautions for entering the lower level. After everyone expressed their opinions, he activated the witchcraft array under his feet.

The array lit up with a faint light, just like the array that Fiona used to encircle Agu at that time, but this time there was no dark light arc, but the ground kept moving and deforming, and finally formed a downward staircase within a few seconds.

Thor followed Corey down, because he had to be careful to restrain his mental power, he could only observe with his n*ked eyes, but now even with his n*ked eyes, he could see a lot of things.

As his vision gradually sank below the floor, a huge pool first appeared in front of him.

The underground space was large, with many facilities and several wizards and apprentices.

But the most eye-catching thing was the huge pool not far away.

The water in the pool was very turbid, and the surface of the water was slightly undulating.

As Thor went down the stairs, he saw a huge white egg under the water.

He had seen similar eggs in the laboratory of the Observatory Tower. Those were new carriers made of inactivated red worms and faceless men, and were also stored in liquid.

But the one in front of him gave Thor a completely different feeling.

The other “eggs” were dead, but the one in front of him was alive and obviously aggressive.

The moment Thor saw it, its shell suddenly bulged.

Corey, who was walking steadily down, immediately quickened his pace and almost ran down the stairs.

Thor stood where he was, allowing others to speed up and overtake him.

“It seems something has gone wrong.” Douglas walked slowly to the same step as Thor. “Is this the Queen Worm they think so highly of? She doesn’t seem to be very powerful.”

Thor stared at the Queen Worm in the pool, who was still struggling violently. Several wizards had already jumped into the water, and no one knew how they were trying to appease the Queen Worm.

“Don’t say that.” Thor whispered to Douglas, “We paid a lot of money to get this.”

Don’t curse yourself when you curse others.

“Ahem.” Douglas coughed twice and stopped talking.

Thor thought to himself, “Did the Queen Worm become so excited just now because she discovered me? Or can she find the star eyes hidden in me?”
