Although the Stargate Council had invited Saul to visit, they weren't yet ready to let Saul and Douglas take over any experints or maintenance related to the queen.
Saul naturally knew it wasn't ti yet, so he didn't insist. Following the guidance of other wizards, he left the underground base.
"What a pity." Douglas sighed while crossing his arms.
"Please rest assured, once the queen's condition stabilizes, we'll invite you both to visit again at the first opportunity."
Douglas smiled without saying anything.
Saul watched from the side, feeling that Douglas wasn't regretting not being able to visit the red worm, but rather regretting... not being able to study Corey's ntal power.
After all, Corey was now the main wizard stabilizing the red worm and couldn't possibly leave with Wizard Douglas.
"I'll head back first." Although Saul hadn't been able to observe the queen up close, he had gained so important information and planned to go back and share it with Byron and the others.
After polite farewells, Saul's figure imdiately disappeared.
The next second, Saul returned to Byron's residence.
Byron and the other consciousness bodies hadn't left, waiting in the room.
They knew Saul would be participating in the Stargate Council's migration experint today, so they had been waiting at ho for Saul to bring back firsthand information.
So when Saul's figure suddenly appeared before Byron, Byron imdiately stood up and asked, "How did it go?"
"The experint is feasible, but the soul body inside couldn't last long before mutating. I tried to clear the pollution on the shell, but failed."
Saul briefly explained the migration experint's contents, then shifted the topic to the visit to the red worm queen.
"After this successful experint, the Stargate Council people indeed gave us a little sweetener. urich proposed visiting the queen. The location is beneath the white warehouse in the underground base that Agu visited. However, just as I saw the device containing the queen, she suddenly rioted and the visit was forced to end."
Hearing news about the red worm queen, Byron was indeed excited. He frowned, "Why would the queen suddenly riot?"
"It might be related to . But I can't be certain yet. However, I'll strive to see the queen again as soon as possible. When that ti cos, I'll bring you along, and you... bring the half-elf."
Byron was stunned. "You want the half-elf to enter the queen's body?"
The red worm on Byron's body, which was taller than him, was a body he had prepared for the half-elf.
But he hadn't expected Saul to want the half-elf to enter the queen's body.
"Wouldn't that be too risky?"
"Our current situation doesn't allow us not to take risks. Moreover, if red worms have a queen, they might also obey the queen's commands. Rather than using safe thods, it's better to be more aggressive, since our enemies won't wait for us to develop slowly."
In the dream's apocalypse, even Iskaper had fallen into the abyss, so the fate of the other two continents probably wasn't much better.
And the Saul and others in the dream had definitely made trendous efforts to resist the black tide apocalypse.
Even so, they ultimately failed.
This ant their preparations weren't enough - not enough to keep them all alive.
Then they needed to be even more extre.
What deactivated red worms - creating them still required wizards' lives and considerable ti. The quantity would definitely be unsatisfactory.
So add non-deactivated red worms too. This way the number of red worms could at least double.
Although non-deactivated red worms might not obey his commands, Saul only needed these cannon fodder to consu the black tide's powerful pollution - he didn't need them to be very obedient.
The deactivated red worms could be used for fine-tuning, executing more detailed tasks.
Seeing Saul's expression suddenly beco sowhat heavy, Byron didn't say more this ti and nodded directly, "Then I'll follow your lead."
After a pause, Byron added, "I'll talk to the half-elf."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Byron tilted his head as if hearing sothing, then imdiately continued, "He agrees."
Saul smiled.
It seed the half-elf also understood that if he truly wanted to save those elf consciousnesses trapped in the world barrier, rely parasitizing a small red worm wouldn't be enough.
To want greater benefits naturally required taking greater risks.
With everyone in agreent, Saul summoned all the consciousness bodies.
"From now on, you'll need to prepare to get busy too."
Beth, Wind Sprite, Agu and Herman all nodded in unison.
"Yes, Master."
Saul's gaze swept over the first two.
This ti, even those two were unreservedly calling him "Master"?
But he said nothing, simply nodding briefly, "Go."
The four consciousness bodies imdiately left in four different directions.
When Saul closed his eyes, he could feel their fate lines dancing before him.
"Ti is a bit tight... we still need to make the Stargate Council's actions even faster."
A month had passed since the first failed visit to the queen. In one experint, Saul suddenly found the problem in combining red worms with Faceless One materials, directly transforming the originally egg-shaped carrier into worm-shaped.
That is, he had turned the red worm into a flesh-colored worm, much like the harmless vegetable worms in gardens.
But this change in external form directly raised the fusion level between the carrier and wizard soul by a whole step.
Even Alick couldn't help looking at Saul with surprise several tis.
"This improvent looks like just changing a very small parater in the fusion, but in fact, this requires thousands or tens of thousands of attempts to hit one effective improvent. How did you manage to find this parater within a month?"
"Good luck." Saul said honestly.
He certainly wouldn't say his good luck was trying it out in the diary for half a month.
Douglas's mouth corner slightly curved, then quickly flattened.
Alick knew Saul didn't want to reveal the real reason, so he didn't pursue it further.
If ti wasn't so tight, giving the stargate several years or over a decade to slowly experint, they could also find this parater, so the process of how Saul found it wasn't that important.
"Your luck has always been good." Alick replied aningfully.
"When will the third-rank wizard practical experint begin?" Saul asked.
He was accelerating progress naturally to make the stargate migration experint's overall progress faster, so he could get red worms sooner.
"Naturally, we start now." Alick didn't dawdle either, directly having urich bring the previously designated third-rank wizard.
That unlucky third-rank wizard had already prepared for soul separation.
Although he was pale-faced when first designated, a third-rank wizard's mind naturally wouldn't be particularly fragile. These past days he had adjusted his state, preparing to face the experint in his best condition.
Only this way could he increase the probability of returning alive.
The stargate wizards acted with particularly high efficiency. On the very afternoon Saul completed the improvent, they had all materials and facilities for the second practical experint prepared.
Everyone once again ca through teleportation arrays to the stargate's location at extre high altitude - using teleportation arrays was also the Stargate Council's thod of hiding the stargate's location.
The third-rank wizard who had completed initial adaptation to the new carrier suddenly manipulated his flesh-worm-like body to turn back and request of Alick, "Chairman, if I lose control and mutate like the last experint's wizard, could you save once? I'll try hard to recover my sanity."
Alick didn't even look at the test subject, replying coolly, "Yes."
