Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 774 Hidden City Sealing

"He rejected you?"

After the flying carriage took off, Ophelia, dressed in a blue dress, lifted the hem of her skirt and climbed onto the platform from the side stairs.

Ona said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Lord City Lord, I failed to fulfill your instructions."

Ophelia stepped forward and pinched Ona's fair chin. "That shouldn't be the case. In terms of looks, you're no less attractive than Perle."

Ona blushed slightly. "Perhaps, perhaps the wizard Thor really likes your sister."

"Tch!" Ophelia shoved Ona aside and scoffed, "Talking about feelings with a wizard? I'd rather believe that he has no interest in even venting his instincts with you."

Ophelia walked to the edge of the platform and leaned against the wall with one hand. "But after all, he's already a third-tier wizard, so it's normal for his interest in the physical body to decrease."

The index finger gently tapped the bricks, making a "thump-thump" sound.

"He was only a second-tier wizard when he got together with Pei'er, while Pei'er was already a senior third-tier wizard..." Ophelia smiled, tilting her head to one side to let the breeze blow through her hair, "Perhaps he prefers psychological pleasure."

Ona, who was following behind, froze. "Lord City Lord, you wouldn't be... How could this be?"

Ophelia was completely oblivious to the change in Ona's emotions behind her. The more she thought about it, the more interested she became. "There must be some kind of secret within Thor's body. Ever since Pelle got together with him, a shadow has appeared in her mind that I can't even fathom. And this shadow must be the fundamental reason why she was able to survive outside the Stargate."

She turned around abruptly, her long dress billowing in the air in a sharp arc.

"I'm extremely interested in him now! No one is allowed to let him leave Sky City until I get his secrets; they must keep him pinned down at all costs!"

Ona immediately knelt down. "Yes, I will do everything I can. Also, I will continue to work hard to gain the favor of Wizard Thor. Please give me another chance."

Ophelia then glanced at Ona, her smile vanishing. "Go."

Ona breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."

"Also, send a message to Kismet and tell him that I have something to attend to here and that he shouldn't come over yet, but should wait six months."

"Yes."

……

Thor was unaware that Ophelia, because of what happened to Per, was already coveting his body.

Upon returning to the hotel, the first thing he did was to call back the scattered consciousnesses.

"Did you achieve anything today?"

Agu gathers intelligence in the apprentice area.

"Apprentices here attend school for free until they become Level 3 apprentices, but they need to pay for or prepare their own magic crystals and sorcery materials. Once they become Level 3 apprentices, they can work and live in the outer city. It is said that many Level 3 apprentices work at the airport and on airships."

"Some talented students, or those with the money to continue their studies, will continue learning in the Grand Lecture Hall, or go to the Knowledge Institute and the Practice Institute. As long as they pass the assessment, they can continue their studies there. However, the two institutes have very high requirements for apprentices, and only those with outstanding talent will be admitted."

After hearing Agu's introduction, Thor immediately felt that Sky City was like a university town.

"What about the first-tier wizards?"

"Most first-tier and second-tier wizards are in the two academies." It was Beth who spoke. She was originally a third-tier wizard, and it was safest for her to go to the Academy of Knowledge and the Academy of Practice to gather information.

"Both deans are third-tier wizards. However, it's mostly high-tier wizards leading low-tier wizards and apprentices in experiments there. And the apprentices there don't have it easy."

Beth crossed her arms. "This place is completely different from Bydon Academy. We teach seriously here, while they treat their apprentices more like servants and experimental subjects who don't need magic crystals. I bet the death rate of apprentices and low-level wizards here is much higher than they publicly report!"

"This place 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.

"The airport seems to be under martial law."

"What happened?"

"Several people died on the airship, including a princess from another faction. All airships have been suspended in order to track down the killer."

Ann continued, "Actually, the airship had already started restricting entry and exit before the deaths. I saw the wizard apprentice who was on the same airship as us near the Great Hall. It seems he has never been able to leave Sky City and is trying to make money."

Thor rested his hand on his chin. "The people who came on the same airship as us haven't left yet. It seems there's a 50% chance this port closure is targeting me."

"Huh?" *4

Beth frowned, her expression grim. "Does the wizard Ophelia not want you to leave? Wouldn't coming here be like walking into a trap?"

"Don't rush things," Thor said calmly. "As it stands, she doesn't seem to be planning to openly imprison me yet. Her roundabout way of sealing off Sky City is still to keep me in the dark. If I'm not mistaken, she'll definitely find other ways to hinder me next."

Thor said to the others, "In that case, we should prepare as soon as possible. For now, you don't need to come back. Follow my instructions and secretly set up the auxiliary magic array."

Agu asked with some worry, "But Master, Ophelia might be a threat to you. Do you still want to choose her as your second choice?"

"Let's see what happens first. We don't know exactly what Ophelia is planning. But it's always good to be prepared."

Agu then nodded.

After everyone else had left, Thor sat alone in the room, his hand unconsciously beginning to stroke the white porcelain cat on the table.

"If Ophelia isn't suitable, then the pentagram needs to be replaced."

In places unseen by ordinary people, the atmosphere in Sky City began to grow tense.

Saul went to the lecture hall to teach as usual.

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

This was not a failure of Thor's apprenticeship; on the contrary, three apprentices in the class he was teaching had already successfully advanced to become full wizards.

This probability has shocked the other lecturers and apprentices. Everyone knows that a very capable substitute lecturer has arrived at the Grand Lecture Hall. Some third-level apprentices who had already given up on advancing to the next level have signed up for classes, hoping to seize this opportunity and become the next apprentice to advance to the level of a wizard.

One month later, Paul was dragged to class by a friend who also hadn't been to the lecture hall for a long time.

He didn't want to come to class, not because he didn't want to get promoted, but because he brought his daughter Mina with him when he was on guard duty this time.

As a result, during this period, Sky City only took in people and didn't take them out, and he was unable to send his daughter back to her hometown.

Sky City wasn't as wonderful as it seemed on the surface; Paul wasn't even comfortable leaving Mina alone in the rented apartment.

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

His friend Nero excitedly recounted, "I heard that the new instructor used an apprentice as an example in class a week ago, and directly modified his positioning device to be incredibly powerful. He's already gone back to prepare for his promotion ceremony. Ah, I wish he could use me as an example today."

Paul kept looking back, and although he had a gloomy face all day long, he cared a lot about his daughter.

"I'll only accompany you to one class, then I'll leave after class."

"Honestly, ever since you had your daughter, you've become utterly unfit to be a wizard. A true wizard should be like Master Thor—rational and proud!"

Paul froze, turning around. "What mentor? What's his name?"
