Chapter 56: Stay away from places where there is water

After leaving the upper room, Thor was about to return to his cabin.

But he saw a little girl at the corner of the stairs.

The little one, about four or five years old, bit the thumb of his left hand and raised his round eyes to look at Thor.

"Brother, are you a bad person?"

Thor hadn't seen such a small human cub for a long time, and he crouched down and looked at the little girl, "I'm not a bad person. ”

"It's not a replacement, why did you enter that house?"

"If my brother is replaced, he won't be able to come out."

The little girl's mouth suddenly opened round, and she looked like she suddenly realized.

Finding it amused, Thor stroked the little girl's head and got up to go downstairs.

"Daddy!"

Thor froze and looked down, and it turned out that the little girl was not calling him, but the person behind him.

He turned back and was surprised to see Paul, the wizard apprentice he had just interrogated, standing in the hallway with a blank face.

The cute human cub jumped right up to Paul and hugged him in the crook of his knee, "Daddy! ”

Paul, the wizard's apprentice, remained still. It seems that he is not being hugged by a little girl, but by a giant python.

But Saul could see that when Paul faced the little girl, he was not afraid, but nervous.

High tension.

"It's really a child's father." Thor struggled to keep himself from putting on a funny face.

"Ahem," Paul cleared his throat, suddenly covering the little girl's ear, and then said to Saul, "a word of advice to you, don't trust the cat's kindness, whoever comes into contact with it will be lucky at first, but will eventually drown." ”

"Drowning?" Thor thought of Mike's death.

The man who died in a thin layer of washing water.

Paul leaned over, carefully and stiffly took the little girl in his arms like a piece of cream, no longer communicating with Thor, and turned away.

The little girl hugged Paul tightly, rested her chin on Paul's shoulder, and looked at Thor with wide eyes.

Thor waved his hand at the little girl and said goodbye silently.

The little girl didn't respond, just buried her head in Paul's shoulder.

"It's the first time I've seen a wizard apprentice with a child." Thor staggered back to his room.

The death of businessman Mike seems to have been deliberately suppressed.

Thor didn't hear anyone talk about death during the rest of the trip, and no one else had another accident.

After a month of flying peacefully and boringly in the sky, the airship finally arrived at the final stop of Thor's trip, Sky City.

"This is Sky City."

When it was time to dock with Sky City's airport, most of the travelers packed their bags and stood in the uppermost corridor.

Although guests are still not allowed on the deck before docking, the corridor on the top level has windows with views.

Thor stood here for the first time, looking at the scenery opposite.

At this time, there were also two people beside him, one of whom seemed to have been to Sky City and was introducing the other.

"Sky City was originally an island in the sea, but it was later moved into the air by the Sky City Lord's spell."

The other person complimented very cooperatively.

"Wow! Like a place where the gods live. ”

Thor followed their gaze and saw an island floating in the clouds in a clear blue sky.

The entire island is not small, and the lower part is completely obscured by impenetrable clouds and mist, as if floating on a sea of clouds.

The upper part of the island is a city built around a ring volcano.

A grey road winds its way upwards to an aqua-blue castle at the top.

Snow still hangs on the top of the mountain, and the foot of the mountain is flooded with a sea of flowers.

White and pink petals are blown up by the wind and swept into the rooms of local residents.

Even if you look through the window, you can smell a burst of flowers.

"It looks like a paradise." Thor praised in his heart, but his eyes fell on the lower part of the island, which was completely obscured by the clouds.

It was a little far away, and he couldn't see what was beneath the clouds now.

But he knew that to raise an island, it would definitely require the support of a fairly powerful witchcraft circle, as well as a constant consumption of resources.

"Actually, it's not necessary at all." Thor shook his head secretly, "Spending a lot of magic to raise an island, is it just for the sake of good looks?" ”

Appreciation is appreciation, and Thor doesn't approve of such a waste of magic.

Unless there is something else hidden in it.

A few minutes later, the empty boat shook slightly.

Two squires came over and opened the door to the deck.

"Please disembark in an orderly manner and do not crowd."

The people who can take the airboat are all some net worth or status, and no one is vying for it.

Many were even in their rooms, ready to wait until the last person was almost gone.

Like an ordinary person, Thor carefully carried his heavy suitcase, and with the orange cat in his other hand, stepped on the not very wide pedal, and stepped off the empty boat.

When he followed the crowd to the square outside the airport, he did not leave immediately, but found a random place to wait in the shade under the awning outside the shop.

"Lord Thor, what are you waiting for?"

Kate was placed on the box to facilitate communication between the two.

Many wizard apprentices could already be seen walking around here, and the faint fluctuations in magic generated by the exchange of secret words between the two would not attract the attention of others at all.

"Wait for the cat."

"Meow?"

Thor's lips didn't move, but the voice reached the ears of Kate, the orange cat, "The wizard apprentice on the airship didn't find the white porcelain kitten after they found Mike's body. It only became solemn after I mentioned it. Until then, he might have just treated Mike's death as an ordinary murder. What does this mean? ”

Kate smacked her mouth, "It means that someone took the white porcelain kitten away before Paul saw the body." ”

He turned to look at Thor, "You're so interested in that kitten, why didn't you take it back then?" ”

"Because I want to observe objectively." Thor smiled, "Look, just like you look at the squire." ”

The squire, who had led Thor to the airship and brought him to Paul for interrogation, hurried out of the airship with a suitcase in his hand.

Thor was about to follow when suddenly a man walked up to him.

The man was a wizard in an aqua blue cloak with a few petals on it.

The cloak is engraved with a hidden magic circle, so that outsiders cannot see the strength of the person in front of them.

But Thor's spiritual power swept over, and he immediately found out that the other party was an official wizard, and he was also a second-order official wizard.

The visitor raised his head, revealing a gorgeous face.

"Welcome to Sky City, Lord Thor."

Thor touched his face and asked without the slightest pretension, "How did you recognize me?" ”

The witch smiled, "Your vague cognitive sorcery is so clever that others can't recognize you at all, and I only learned that you were here under the guidance of the city lord." ”

"The Lord of Ophelia? She'd be paying attention to the airport here. ”

The witch who came to pick up Thor smiled, "In Sky City, the Lord is everywhere. ”
