Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 770

Chapter 760 Tracking

Ophelia still smiled calmly.

Thor believed that she was gritting her teeth under her red lips.

But the Sky City Lord remained silent for a few seconds before continuing: “Yes, Krum did find a way to evade my surveillance in the White Glazed Castle of Sky City.”

She looked at Pearl who was covered with her mouth, “But I also thought of a way to deal with it. Do you want to hear it?”

Pearl widened her eyes and whimpered twice.

“But I don’t want to tell you.”

Ophelia’s words made Pearl’s eyes flash with ferocity again.

Thor stepped forward to block Pearl, “Do you want me to continue to help you study the biography of the water god that Krum read before his death?”

Ophelia shook her head, “Although you are a genius, the knowledge of the water god is not your area of expertise. It is better to find a few ordinary scholars than to ask you to help me study. In fact, I only found the first half of the biography on the dead Krum, and the second half was hidden by him.”

She couldn’t help but raise her head a little, revealing her soft, snow-white, curved neck that didn’t look like a neck.

“I am now secretly looking for the second half of those biographies. At the same time, most of the exits from the city have been closed, and the abnormalities of the entire island have been monitored. So I can’t cooperate with you now.”

“I understand what you mean.” At this point, Thor finally knew what Ophelia was busy with now, “Investigating the cause of Krum’s death and retrieving the hidden biographies. After completing these, can you help me contact Pearl in the Fantasy World?”

Ophelia finally nodded.

“Then, our transaction can begin.” Thor nodded and saluted, then turned and left, “Please have someone take me to the place where Krum died first.”

Thor walked to the gate, and the gate was opened by a pair of invisible hands.

The sunlight outside tentatively shone in.

The wizard Ona who led Thor here was still standing at the door, like a demure sculpture.

“Oona, you will be Thor’s assistant for the time being. He can retrieve any information that does not involve top-secret information.”

Oona, who had been able to salute naturally before facing Ophelia’s clone, trembled all over, and then bent her knees stiffly, “Yes, Lord City Lord.”

Thor turned around, but there was only the white porcelain bottle left on the throne, and the Sky City Lord inside was gone.

He probably went back in.

The door closed immediately after Thor left the main hall.

“Lord Thor, what do you need to do now?”

“I want to see the place where the wizard Krum died.”

Oona was stunned, and the smile on her face was not as good as before.

“So the Lord City Lord gave this task to you.”

Thor observed Oona’s expression, and when she was almost sweating, he said: “Krum’s death, is it related to you?”

“No, it’s not.” Oona lowered her head, but her expression was not panicked.

Then she was nervous because of other things, and fear.

The place where Krum died was in a room inside the White Glazed Castle.

This place is relatively remote, and the surroundings are mainly places for some materials and goods that are not often used.

As soon as Thor and Ona approached, they felt a chill.

He found a small house in front of them, with a thick layer of frost on the inside of the door. The cool air came from the room.

Thor did not enter immediately, but looked around, “Although this room can isolate the surveillance of Lord Ophelia, won’t his appearance in such a remote place arouse suspicion?”

“No. There are many places like this in the castle.” Ona had sorted out her emotions along the way, and answered Thor with a smile on her face, “There are many wizards living in the White Glazed Castle. Most of them are scholars who are very good at studying, but they also have very strange tempers. Sometimes they just like to go to strange places to study and read, saying that this can inspire their inspiration. So many rooms are arranged in the castle to provide them with places to study.”

Thor nodded slowly, “Plus, the city lord can monitor the entire White Glazed Castle and even sense the entire Sky City, so she doesn’t care where these wizards are doing research. I just didn’t expect someone to use the ice to seal the surroundings of the room to isolate her monitoring.”

Ona’s face was pale, and she lowered her voice unconsciously, “So we have been secretly investigating the cause of Krum’s death and the whereabouts of the things he stole. If I hadn’t brought you here, you normally wouldn’t be able to enter this place.”

Thor recalled the scene along the way, but he didn’t find any facilities to prevent others from entering, not even props for mental suggestion.

But he soon understood how the city lord Ophelia prevented others from coming in.

Because while they were talking, an Ophelia in a sea-blue dress walked out of the frozen room.

“Lord of the city.” Ona saluted immediately.

Facing Ophelia in a skirt, her mood was not as nervous as before.

She seemed to have mistaken the Ophelia who could be seen everywhere in the castle and the Ophelia in the main hall with only her head and neck exposed as two people.

“Well, you wait outside.” The blue-dressed Ophelia didn’t smile, but she didn’t look as oppressive as the Ophelia in the white porcelain bottle.

“Hello, Lord City Lord.” Thor took a step forward and took the initiative to speak.

The Ophelia in front of him still nodded quietly, then turned and entered the frozen room.

“Come in and talk.”

Thor followed him in.

The door of the house was immediately closed, turning this place into a frozen world again.

The frozen room can isolate Ophelia’s monitoring, but the other party can’t let Thor investigate without paying attention to his movements.

So the blue-dressed Ophelia in front of him was deliberately left in the room, a more accurate camera probe with independent transmission signal.

“It seems that you know why I came here? Is it your previous preparation, or the news passed to you from the main hall?” Thor asked curiously.

The Ophelia in front of him did not change much emotionally, “Are you going to ask whether the transmission information between different Ophelias is synchronized?”

Thor held his chin and did not deny it.

“But I’m not obliged to tell you.” Ophelia said, walking to the side of the room, making way for Thor to see the body in the inner lounge.

Although he had been dead for more than two days, the body lying on the ground was still fresh, not pale and bloodless like the dead.

Thor squatted down and pressed Krum’s skin with his fingertips. It was also soft and elastic, not affected by the icy cold here.

Thor raised his hand and pressed it again, and this time his fingertips turned into translucent gray skin.

The skin immediately sank into the body when it touched the dead body, leaving only the bones outside.

Ophelia in a blue dress stood behind Thor, watching him quietly, not hiding her intention to monitor him at all.

Thor slowly closed his eyes.

“Gululu…”

He heard a sound of bubbles in the water.

After a moment, Thor opened his eyes and stood up again, facing Ophelia. “His body did die from drowning, but the water in his body is different from the water here.”

Thor was a little confused. “The water is very salty, and there are some algae. It seems to come from the deep sea.”

He turned around and looked at Krum’s body, which looked like a living person.

“Only a little consciousness remains in his soul, and his body is gone. In his remaining consciousness, I heard the sound of water.”
