Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 760 Investigation

Ophelia remained calm and smiled.

Saul believed that beneath those bright red lips lay not gritted teeth and furious clenching.

But the Sky City Lord remained silent for a few seconds before continuing, "Yes, Krum has indeed found a way to evade my surveillance within the Sky City White Glass Castle."

She looked at Pei'er, whose mouth was covered, and said, "But I've also thought of a solution. Would you like to hear it?"

Pei'er's eyes widened, and she let out two soft whimpers.

"But I don't want to tell you."

Olivia's words made Pelle's eyes flash with ferocity once again.

Thor stepped forward to block Pelle's path. "So you want me to continue researching that biography of the water god that Krum read before he died?"

Ophelia shook her head. "While you are a genius, the knowledge of the water god is not your area of ​​expertise. Asking you to help me with my research is less useful than asking a few ordinary scholars. In fact, I only found the first half of the biography on the body of the deceased Krum; he hid the second half."

She couldn't help but raise her head slightly, revealing her soft, snow-white, winding neck that didn't quite resemble a neck.

"I'm currently secretly searching for the latter parts of those biographies. At the same time, I've sealed off most of the exits from the city and am monitoring for any unusual activity across the island. That's why I can't cooperate with you right now."

"I understand what you mean." At this point, Thor finally knew what Ophelia was busy with: "Investigating Krum's death and retrieving the hidden biography. Once you've accomplished these things, you can help me contact Perle in the Rainbow World?"

Ophelia finally nodded.

"Then, our deal can begin." Thor nodded and bowed, then turned to leave. "Please have someone take me to the place where Krum died."

Thor walked to the front door, which was opened by an invisible hand.

The sunlight outside tentatively shone in.

The wizard Ona, who had led Thor there, still stood at the door, like a serene sculpture.

"Ona, you will temporarily serve as Thor's assistant. He can access any information except for top-secret details."

Ona, who had always been able to bow naturally when facing Ophelia's clone, trembled slightly before stiffly bending her knees and saying, "Yes, Lord City Lord."

Thor turned around, but only the white porcelain bottle remained on the throne; the Sky City Lord inside was nowhere to be seen.

It probably crawled back inside.

The gate closed immediately after Saul left the main hall.

"Lord Thor, what do you need me to do now?"

"I'm going to see the place where the wizard Krum died."

Ona was taken aback, and the smile on her face was no longer as beautiful as before.

"So the city lord entrusted this task to you."

Thor observed Ona's expression, and only when she was almost sweating did he ask, "Was Krum's death related to you?"

"No, no." Ona lowered her head, her expression not flustered.

She was nervous and fearful because of other things.

Krum died in a room inside the White Glass Castle.

This place is relatively remote, and the surrounding area is mainly used to store materials and goods that are not frequently used.

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

He spotted a small house ahead, its door covered in a thick layer of frost. The chill was emanating from inside.

Thor didn't enter immediately, but looked around. "Although this room can block Lord Ophelia's surveillance, won't his presence in such a secluded place arouse suspicion?"

"No. There are many similar places in the castle." Having composed herself along the way, Ona answered Thor with a smile, "Many wizards live in White Glass Castle. Most of them are scholars who are very good at studying, but they also have very eccentric temperaments. Sometimes they just like to go to strange places to study and read, saying that it can inspire their creativity. So the castle has many rooms set up to provide them with places for research."

Thor nodded slowly. "In addition, the city lord can monitor the entire White Glass Castle and even sense the entire Sky City, so she doesn't care where these wizards are conducting their research. She just didn't expect that someone would use the ice-sealed room to isolate her monitoring."

Ona's face paled slightly, and she unconsciously lowered her voice, "So we've been secretly investigating the cause of Krum's death and the whereabouts of the things he stole. Normally, you wouldn't be able to enter this place if I hadn't brought you here."

Thor recalled the scene along the way and found no facilities to prevent others from entering, not even any mental suggestion props.

However, he soon understood how Lord Ophelia had prevented others from entering.

As they were talking, Ophelia, dressed in a long, sea-blue dress, emerged from the frozen house.

"Lord of the City," Ona immediately bowed.

When she saw Ophelia wearing a skirt, she was not as nervous as before.

She seemed to be mistaking the Ophelia who was everywhere in the castle for the Ophelia who was inside the main hall with only her head and neck showing.

"Okay, you can wait outside." The blue-dressed Ophelia didn't smile, but she wasn't as imposing as the Ophelia in the white porcelain vase.

"Hello, Lord City Lord," Thor stepped forward and said proactively.

Ophelia nodded calmly before turning and entering the frozen room.

"Come in and talk."

Thor followed him inside.

The door to the house immediately closed, turning the place back into a frozen world.

The frozen room could isolate Ophelia from monitoring, but she wouldn't allow Thor to investigate without paying attention to his movements.

Therefore, the blue-dressed Ophelia in front of us was deliberately left in the room as a more precise camera probe with independent signal transmission.

"It seems you know why I came? Was it your previous preparations, or a message passed to you from the main hall?" Thor asked curiously.

Ophelia in front of her didn't show much emotion. "Are you asking whether information is transmitted synchronously between different Ophelia?"

Saul rested his chin on his hand, offering no denial.

"But I have no obligation to tell you," Ophelia said, walking to the side of the room to clear space and allow Thor to see the corpse in the inner lounge.

Although he had been dead for more than two days, the body lying on the ground was still fresh and did not have the pale, bloodless appearance of a deceased person.

Thor crouched down and pressed Krum's skin with his fingertips. It was soft and elastic, completely unaffected by the icy cold here.

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

The skin immediately sinks into the body upon contact with the deceased's corpse, leaving only the bones outside.

Ophelia in the blue dress stood behind Thor, watching him quietly as he did his thing, making no attempt to conceal her true intention to monitor him.

Thor slowly closed his eyes.

"Gurgle..."

He heard the sound of bubbles rising in the water.

A moment later, Thor opened his eyes and stood up again, facing Ophelia. "His body did indeed die from drowning, but the water in his body is different from the water here."

Saul was puzzled. "The water is very salty, and there's some algae. It seems to come from the deep sea."

He turned back to look at Krum's corpse, which looked like a living person.

"His soul retained only a trace of consciousness; his physical body had vanished. In his remaining consciousness, I heard the sound of water."
