Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 785

Chapter 774: Secret Closure of the City

“Did he reject you?”

After the flying carriage took off, Ophelia, wearing a blue dress, lifted her skirt and climbed onto the platform from the stairs on one side.

Ona said with embarrassment: “I’m sorry, Lord Mayor, I failed to complete your instructions.”

Ophelia stepped forward and pinched Ona’s fair chin, “It shouldn’t be, in terms of appearance, you are not worse than Pearl.”

Ona blushed slightly, “Maybe, maybe Wizard Thor likes your sister very much.”

“Tsk!” Ophelia shook Ona off and sneered, “Talking about feelings with a wizard? I would rather believe that he has no interest in venting his instincts with you.”

Ophelia walked to the edge of the platform and leaned on the wall with one hand, “But he is already a third-level wizard after all, so it is normal for him to have less interest in the flesh.”

Her index finger tapped the bricks lightly, making a “dong dong” sound.

“When he was with Pearl, he was only level two, while Pearl was already a senior level three wizard…” Ophelia smiled, tilting her head to one side to let the breeze blow her hair, “Maybe he prefers psychological pleasure.”

Ona, who was following behind, froze in her face, “Lord City Lord, you are not? How is this possible?”

Ophelia didn’t notice the changes in Ona’s mood behind her. The more she thought about it, the more interested she became. “There must be some secret in this Thor’s body. Since Pearl has been with him, there has been a shadow in her spiritual body that I cannot detect. And this shadow must be the fundamental reason why she can survive outside the star gate.”

She turned around abruptly, and her long skirt fluttered in a sharp arc in the air.

“I am very interested in him now! Before I get his secret, no one is allowed to let him leave Sky City. He must be held back!”

Ona knelt down immediately. “Yes, I will try every possible way. Also, I will continue to work hard to get the favor of Wizard Thor. Please give me another chance.”

Ophelia glanced at Ona and the smile on her face disappeared. “Go.”

Ona breathed a sigh of relief. “Yes.”

“Also, send a message to Kismet and tell him that I have something to do here. Tell him not to come over for the time being. Let’s talk about it in half a year.”

“Yes.”

…

Thor didn’t know that Ophelia was coveting his body because of Pearl’s experience.

After he returned to the inn, the first thing he did was to call back the scattered consciousnesses.

“Did you gain anything today?”

Agu was collecting intelligence in the apprentice area.

“Apprentices here can go to school for free before becoming third-level apprentices, but they need to pay for magic crystals and witchcraft materials or prepare them by themselves. After becoming third-level apprentices, they can work and live in the outer city. It is said that many third-level apprentices work in the airport and on airships.”

“Some have good talents or have money to continue their studies, so they will continue to study in the lecture hall, or go to the Institute of Knowledge and the Institute of Practice. As long as they pass the assessment, they can continue to study there. However, the two institutes have very high requirements for apprentices, and only those with outstanding talents will be admitted.”

After listening to Agu’s introduction, Thor suddenly felt that Sky City was like a university town.

“What about first-level wizards?”

“Most of the first-level and second-level wizards are in the two institutes.” The speaker was Beth. She was originally a third-level wizard, and it was safest to go to the Institute of Knowledge and the Institute of Practice to explore intelligence.

“The deans of both academies are third-level wizards. But over there, most of the high-level wizards are conducting experiments with low-level wizards and apprentices. Moreover, the life of apprentices over there is not easy.”

Beth crossed her arms, “This place is different from Baidong Academy. We teach seriously, but they treat apprentices as servants and experimental subjects who don’t need magic crystals. I bet the death rate of apprentices and low-level wizards here must be higher than what they announce to the public!”

“This is a melting pot.” Beth sneered.

Herman looked around, raised his hand and said, “I found something over at the airport.”

Everyone looked at him.

“It seems the airport is under martial law.”

“What happened?”

“Several people died on the airship. It is said that a little princess from another force has stopped all airships from entering and leaving in order to track down the murderer.”

An continued, “In fact, before the deaths, the airships had already begun to restrict entry and exit. I saw the wizard apprentice who was on the same airship with us near the lecture hall. He seems to have been unable to leave Sky City and is trying to make money.”

Thor rested the back of his hand on his chin, “The person who came with us on the same airship has not left yet. It seems that there is a 50% chance that the port closure this time is aimed at me.”

“Huh?” *4

Beth frowned, looking unhappy, “Doesn’t the wizard Ophelia want you to leave? Then aren’t we walking into a trap by coming here?”

“Don’t worry yet.” Thor was calm. “At present, she doesn’t intend to imprison me directly. She is blocking the Sky City in a roundabout way because she doesn’t want me to notice it. If I guess correctly, she will definitely use other ways to trip me up next.”

Thor said to the others, “In this case, we must also prepare early. Next, you don’t have to come back for the time being. According to my assignment, arrange the auxiliary magic circle secretly.”

Agu was a little worried, “But master, Ophelia may be bad for you. Do you still want to choose her as the second one?”

“Let’s see first. It’s not clear what Ophelia is going to do. But it’s right to be prepared first.”

Agu nodded.

After everyone left, Thor sat alone in the room, and his hand subconsciously began to stroke the white porcelain cat on the table.

“If Ophelia is not okay, then the Pentagram must be replaced by someone else.”

In places that ordinary people can’t see, the atmosphere in the Sky City began to become tense.

Thor went to the lecture hall to teach as usual.

Now, the number of third-level apprentices has increased instead of decreased.

This is not that Thor’s apprentice failed to be promoted. On the contrary, three apprentices in his substitute class have successfully advanced to formal wizards.

This probability has shocked other lecturers and apprentices. Everyone knows that a very powerful substitute lecturer has come to the lecture hall. Some third-level apprentices who had originally given up on promotion signed up for the class in order to seize this opportunity and hope to become the next apprentice to be promoted to a wizard.

One day a month later, Paul was dragged to class by a friend who had not been to the lecture hall for a long time.

He didn’t want to come to class, not because he didn’t want to be promoted, but because he brought his daughter Mina with him when he was on the escort mission this time.

As a result, during this period of time, Sky City was only open to people but not out, and he had not been able to send his daughter back to his hometown.

Sky City is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface. Paul is even worried about leaving Mina alone in the rental house.

But now, his landlord, who is also the friend who dragged him to class, asked his sister to accompany Mina, so Paul has time to go out alone.

His friend Nero introduced excitedly, “I heard that the new instructor used an apprentice as an example in class a week ago, and directly modified his locator to be very powerful. Now he has gone back to prepare for the promotion ceremony. Oh, it would be great if he could use me as an example today.”

Paul kept looking back. Although he had a gloomy face all day long, he cared about his daughter very much.

“I will accompany you for one class and leave after class.”

“Really, since you have a daughter, you are not worthy of being a wizard. A real wizard should be like Master Thor, rational and arrogant!”

Paul turned his head and froze, “What mentor? What’s his name?”
