Chapter 963: Alick's Viewpoint

Ordinary people couldn’t see these red worms, nor could they see Saul who had blended with the background. And those who could see the worms would overlook Saul hiding behind them due to the extremely eye-catching red worms.

Soon, Byron’s figure appeared, and coming with him were two other wizards, both first-rank wizards. Including Byron, all three had red worms on them.

However, the two first-rank wizards carried worms no larger than an arm, while the worm on Byron was particularly massive – nearly two meters tall, already exceeding his height. The worm lay on his back, and from a distance, it looked like he was carrying a huge pack.

Saul had also seen other second-rank wizards just now, and none of them had worms on their bodies that could compare in size to the one on Byron.

Looking at their formation of movement, Byron seemed to still be the leader of this small team.

Has senior infiltrated the enemy camp and already become a leader? Why is the worm on him so big?

Saul felt that Byron didn’t seem to need his rescue.

Saul tugged at the fate line belonging to Byron within his soul body.

Byron, who had originally been hurrying along, suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong, sir?”

Byron’s eyes moved slightly, “You go execute the mission first. I need to check on the condition of other test subjects.”

The two first-rank wizards following Byron didn’t notice anything unusual, nodded and left first.

Byron then flew toward the direction Saul had come from, stopped halfway, looked around – temporarily no other people were approaching.

“Are you nearby?” Byron asked in a small voice, so quiet it barely carried two meters away.

But Saul, who had been paying attention to Byron all along, still heard it. One of his hands instantly transformed into an octopus tentacle, lightly flicked out, wrapped around Byron, and pulled him behind the red worm where he was hiding.

“Senior, Agu and I were worried about you, but it turns out you’ve already become a leader here?”

Saul looked at Byron with amusement, especially staring at the giant red worm on Byron’s back for several glances.

Although few wizards could see red worms along the way, Byron didn’t doubt at all that Saul could see them.

“To defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy.” Seeing Saul again after a year, Byron was also happy, but his facial expression remained mild, “I just gained the right to leave and was planning to find Agu this time. I didn’t expect you’d already found your way in.”

So Byron still regarded the Stargate Council as enemies?

“What did they capture you to do? I saw wizards tied up in those balloons over there, while you free people all have worms on you. You can see the worms, right?”

Byron nodded, “Actually, for the Stargate Council, both we and those imprisoned test subjects are their experimental objects. The data they want to test is actually…”

“Let me tell Wizard Saul instead.”

Suddenly a voice rang out, startling both Saul and Byron.

Although they heard another person’s voice, they still couldn’t detect the voice’s owner, yet that voice was clearly right beside them.

Just as Saul was looking left and right, the three-meter-long red worm in front of him suddenly split open a gap from its belly.

A thin middle-aged man actually walked out from the belly of the red worm that others couldn’t touch.

This man had dark skin and brown hair mixed with some silver threads. He looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, but his skin was as smooth as a peeled egg.

“Chairman Alick.” Byron pulled Saul and called out the other party’s identity in front of him.

Chairman Alick of the Stargate Council looked somewhat different from the rumors described. He ranked first in strength among the publicly known fourth-rank wizards, but rarely participated in combat, with his energy basically devoted to research.

Seeing Chairman Alick suddenly appear before him, Saul’s first reaction wasn’t that he had been caught sneaking in again, but rather he asked in surprise, “These red worms can’t be touched through mental power or magic power. How did you hide inside and come out?”

Alick smiled, and that face that looked harsh showed no signs of anger.

“Previously Meurich invited you to join the stargate experiments, but you didn’t agree. Now you come asking me?” He said jokingly, “Then I won’t tell you casually.”

So the Stargate Council chairman had this kind of personality?

For some reason, this kind of Alick made people want to trust him from the bottom of their hearts.

Saul suspected he was under the influence of the other party’s magic power, but when he checked his soul body, there was no other force acting upon it.

So it was natural charisma?

“Just kidding.”

The other party was indeed joking.

“The stargate welcomes you to join our experimental research at any time.”

Alick first said to Byron, “You still have a mission. Regardless of your purpose for joining the experiment, first complete your current task seriously.”

Byron pressed his lips together, looked at Saul with concern, but thinking that staying here wouldn’t help, he gave him a meaningful look and turned to leave, going to find the previous first-rank wizards.

Saul awkwardly touched his chin, “So you guessed I would sneak in?”

“No need to guess.” Alick snapped his fingers, and the two suddenly moved from among a pile of worms to a room full of experimental equipment.

“This World Side has never been defended. Whoever can find the entrance can come in. I also don’t need to send people to patrol or guard. I believe that people who see the stargate experiments will ultimately choose to join. Just like your friend, and your future self.”

This Chairman Alick was quite confident.

“Your current attitude contradicts Meurich and the others’ actions of catching people outside.” Saul spoke quite boldly.

“That was Meurich’s doing. Before the Stargate Council completely leaves the wizard world and enters star travel, we still need the stability of grassroots society to provide sufficient materials and personnel. If we announced the red worm matter, the productivity of panic-stricken cities would be greatly reduced. So we ultimately chose to conduct experiments in secret. However, wizards like you who can find their own way in won’t choose to announce the red worm secret to the outside world even if they know about it.”

Alick was right about this point. Although Saul had snuck in to rescue someone, he had no intention of announcing the existence of red worms to ordinary people.

First, red worms wouldn’t attack people without magic power. In those worms’ view, people without magical talent were like pebbles on the roadside. They could casually step on them, but wouldn’t deliberately step on them.

And for wizards who couldn’t see or touch the worms, how would you explain to make them believe that red worms really existed?

“What about after you enter star travel?”

“By that time, the world will also be about to be destroyed by the black tide. Those left behind will either find new ways to survive under extremely small probability, or perish together with the world. Whether they know the truth or not is meaningless.”
