Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 791

Chapter 780 Fuel Furnace

Although Ona could not understand Thor’s hobby, she would not really interfere with him.

She was not worried that Thor had any conspiracy to enter the Institute of Knowledge.

In Ona’s view, at least within the scope of Sky City, Lord Ophelia was an invincible existence, and no one could plot against her.

Moreover, Thor’s hobby was so harmless that Ona was happy to take this opportunity to get close to him.

After all, she was still tasked with getting close to Thor.

Thinking of this, Ona stepped forward and walked side by side with Thor.

“Then Lord Thor, are you willing to share the knowledge you have verified with me?”

Thor did not refuse Ona’s approach, and talked to her casually like he did with other wizards of the same level in the Institute of Knowledge. After all,

Ona was a second-level wizard. Although her main job on weekdays was not to study various theoretical knowledge, she could also talk about many fields if necessary.

So while Thor deliberately lowered her posture and Ona tried to tiptoe to show herself, the two chatted happily all the way.

As they chatted, Thor gradually led the topic to the Mechanical Heart.

“Didn’t Lord Ophelia invent the Mechanical Heart?”

“No. And this is no secret in Sky City. The original Mechanical Heart was proposed by the current dean of the Institute of Knowledge. After the joint efforts of the Institute of Knowledge and the Institute of Practice, the design and assembly were finally completed. It was also after the first generation of the Mechanical Heart came out that Lord Ophelia invested a lot of manpower and material resources to establish the Institute of Knowledge and the Institute of Practice in order to create more and more useful knowledge.”

Thor couldn’t help but nod after hearing this.

“In fact, the two institutes are a place where brainstorming happens all the time, and it is also a place full of innovation. Be bold in your ideas and be careful in your verification.”

Ona smiled with her lips covered, “It seems that you really like the two institutes. In fact, if your identity was not too important, the mayor would definitely hope that you could stay in Sky City for a long time. The research atmosphere here is also very suitable for you!”

Is this a subtle message, don’t they want to trap me for a long time?

Thor glanced at Ona, pretending not to understand the other party’s overtones.

“I also like the research atmosphere here, but…”

“But what?”

“It’s just that low-level wizards are under a lot of pressure here. If they fail to come up with new topics within a certain period of time, they will be taken away for punishment, which is more severe than the punishment for not completing the report task.”

Ona didn’t care. “After all, people are lazy. If we can’t inject fresh blood into Sky City, why does the city lord keep these low-level wizards and let them do repetitive and simple experiments?”

Thor didn’t say anything more, but brought the topic back to the Mechanical Heart, praising its exquisite design.

Ona carefully picked up all the information she could say and said it, and at the same time she was secretly proud of herself.

This Lord Thor likes to pretend to be friendly and get along with low-level wizards, so she abandoned her original polite but distant attitude and changed to a more i*imate and unrestrained attitude to approach, which really brought her closer to Thor.

Finally, the two walked all the way to the small building where Thor currently lives.

Looking at the inconspicuous two-story building in front of her, Ona took a step forward and carefully closed the distance between her and Thor. “Master Thor, do you mind if I go up to take a look?”

Thor opened the door, took a step forward and entered first, then turned to Ona outside and said, “Forget about the visit.”

Then he closed the door and locked Ona, who had been chatting happily all the way, out.

Ona’s eyes twitched and she almost couldn’t keep the bright smile on her face.

As time passed, the white porcelain cat gradually changed from a cursed object that could only be circulated among a few apprentices to a small mass-produced witchcraft prop that could be sold on the market.

As the manufacturers, Thor and Nathan actually made a lot of magic crystals from it, and Thor took the lion’s share.

Soon, it was the day of the third connection experiment.

Ona greeted Thor into the White Glazed Castle with a resentful look on her face.

These days, she often appeared beside Thor, trying to get closer to him and find every opportunity to create an ambiguous atmosphere.

But she didn’t know why, for wizards like them, physical pleasure was just as common as eating and drinking, so why didn’t Thor want to touch her.

Oona, who failed to complete the task given by Lord Ophelia, naturally became more and more anxious.

“Lord Thor, the Lord invites you to come over.” Oona invited outside Thor’s two-story building.

“Wait a moment.”

Thor’s voice came from the crack of the door.

Not long after, the door opened and Thor, who was full of energy, walked out.

“I’ll take you to the White Glazed Castle.”

“Actually, Wizard Oona, you don’t have to pick me up every time. I know the way now.”

“Hey. If you don’t let me pick you up, then what chance do I have to communicate with you? It’s such a happy thing to get the guidance of a third-level wizard!”

Thor shook his head and smiled, “Forget what others say, you are someone who often follows Lady Ophelia, how can you lack the guidance of a high-level wizard?”

Oona showed a pitiful expression again, “What do I mean, Lord Thor, do you really not know?”

Seeing that Oona wanted to make it clear, Thor simply kept silent and refused to communicate.

So the resentful Oona became even more resentful.

Thor, who has a strong ability to withstand pressure, passed through the space teleportation array under Ona’s burning gaze and came to the Mechanical Heart.

At this time, Ophelia’s head was already waiting here.

“Sorry for the wait, I will start to set up the array now.” Thor nodded to Ophelia and was about to start preparing the witchcraft array.

However, today Ophelia stopped him.

“After the previous two experiments, I found that the mental power I provided to you was not stable enough. So today I am going to change the way and no longer provide you with mental support.”

Thor paused and frowned disapprovingly, “But Ms. Ophelia, except for you as a fourth-level wizard, the power provided by others may not be enough to penetrate the barrier of the star gate.”

Ophelia explained patiently, “Don’t worry. I will still help you break through the barrier of the star gate, but the subsequent mental power simulation synchronization and mental power replenishment will be left to the Mechanical Heart.”

Thor asked unexpectedly: “Does the Mechanical Heart have such a powerful ability?”

“Of course not the one in front of you.” Ophelia smiled, and her head retracted into the thick white fog little by little, “So today, I will take you to see the real Mechanical Heart.”

Looking at the disappearing Ophelia, Thor opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but suddenly found that the fog around him suddenly became heavier.

The thick fog almost turned into a solid gel.

Thor stood in the thick fog that was so thick that he couldn’t see his five fingers, and he actually felt the terrifying pressure like the bottom of the deep sea.

Then, his feet suddenly felt empty, and he was pushed down by the pressure from other directions.

When Thor fell from the white mist, he found himself in another room.

The temperature here was very high, and the air seemed to be boiling and bubbling.

He rubbed his painful forehead to wake himself up. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a huge steel furnace standing in front of him.

The “firewood” in the furnace was burning and crackling.

Waves of heat came out from the furnace mouth, almost burning Thor’s skin.

“This is the fuel furnace.” Ophelia’s voice came from above his head, “This is the core of the Mechanical Heart, and it is also the energy supply core of the entire Sky City.”

Thor raised his right hand, trying to block the heat waves from the furnace in front of him, but his eyes slowly widened after seeing the appearance of the firewood in the furnace.

What was burning in the fuel path was a pile of black corpses like carbon!

While burning, those corpses also exuded vigorous mental power and magic.

And even though they had been burning in the fuel furnace for a long time, there was no sign of any reduction in the firewood of those corpses.

All of this indicates that what is burning in the fuel furnace is the corpse of a wizard!
