Chapter Fifty-Eight: How We Cooperate

Walk through the open-air hallway and up several spiral staircases into the dark arch.

Thor followed Ona all the way to the most solemn main hall in the entire castle.

Along the way, he saw a few more Ophelia.

It can only be said that this woman is indeed much crazier than her sister.

When entering the main hall mentioned by Ona, Ona did not go inside, but just made a gesture to ask Thor to enter alone.

The door opened, and the room was unexpectedly dark.

However, with his excellent eyesight, Thor was able to see the scene inside with ease.

The spacious main hall is covered with a red velvet carpet and overhead is a large, ornate chandelier.

The walls on both sides also have delicate bronze candlesticks.

It's just that the light above and on the sides is dim.

Underneath each candlestick is a white porcelain vase with a round bottom and a thin neck, but there is no ornament in the bottle.

There was only a bare bottle.

These white porcelain vases are laid with candlelight all the way to the end of the main hall.

At the end is a staircase of thirty-three steps.

On the high platform above the staircase, a magnificent throne intertwined with gold and silver swells.

But the strange thing is that there is no one sitting on the throne, but a white porcelain vase of the same size and shape is placed in the middle.

Where people should have been sitting, there was a bottle.

It's funny, and it's a little creepy.

The midday sun barely stepped into this room, and the windows on either side were hidden behind heavy curtains.

The main hall was extremely dark.

There is a solemn and eerie atmosphere, crawling like a spider in every corner of the room.

"Click!"

When Thor fully entered the main hall, the door behind him closed automatically.

And the level of light and darkness in the room did not change significantly.

Now in the entire main hall, it seems that only Thor is left.

After a few moments of waiting, Thor broke the silence.

"Lord Ophelia, are you or your doppelganger here?"

"Whoa!"

The first thing that responded to Thor was the sound of water.

Then there was a murmuring laugh.

"Uh-huh!"

A cranial roof suddenly rose from the white porcelain thin-necked flask on the high platform, and then it continued to rise, and the forehead, brow bones, and eyes that were squeezed and deformed appeared......

It wasn't until the whole face was squeezed out of the white porcelain vase that the pieces of flesh that had piled up began to wriggle, twist, and then little by little to transform into the beautiful face of Ophelia, whom Thor had just seen several times.

It's just that her neck is still scary, more like a intestine.

"Welcome, Lord Thor."

Thor stroked his chest and saluted, "Please forgive me for being uninvited. ”

Ophelia pursed her lips and smiled, "How could I blame you?" Ever since you solved the outbreak of the Eye of the Storm on your own, and you haven't injured a single person, I've always wanted to invite you to Sky City as a guest. It's just that I'm worried that the Borderlands can't do without you, so I didn't take the liberty of inviting. ”

Thor was silent for a moment, then said, "The Borderlands won't be bothered by the Eye of the Storm anytime soon, and I've been monitoring the situation over there. ”

"So, why didn't you travel thousands of miles to come to Sky City?" Ophelia tilted her head, her neck bent like a wheat ear stalk.

"I'm here for the Wind Demon."

"Hehehehehe, Wind Demon?" Ophelia laughed again, she seemed to like to laugh very much, "Why are you so angry, what do you have to do with her, don't I know yet?" ”

Instead of being ashamed of Ophelia's teasing, Thor became a little serious.

"Of course, I know what my relationship with Pei'er is, but I'm not sure what your relationship is with the Wind Demon right now."

In a word, the playfulness on Ophelia's face disappeared.

"Oh, are you blaming me for allowing someone else to send their sister to heaven?"

Ophelia didn't get angry, but sighed softly.

"What can I do? Pell has long been targeted by the Stargate Council. According to the plan, she was supposed to be a stepping stone for Clark's promotion, but unfortunately Clark himself did not fight and died at the hands of others. ”

She squinted at Thor, "You should know that other person too!" Now think about it, who else but him would be so decisive? ”

Could it be that Ophelia had already guessed that it was Mentor Gorsa who killed Clarke?

Will the Stargate Council and the Court of Adjudication find out too?

Since the last separation, Mentor Gorsa has said that he will be promoted to the fourth rank, and there has been no news so far.

Thor didn't doubt that he would be able to advance to the fourth rank, but he was worried that he would be targeted again.

Ophelia tapped Thor, seeing that he was thoughtful and thinking of something, and then continued: "Although Pell escaped because of Clark's death. But Stargate, whose plan failed, didn't really intend to let her go. There's no way, who let her have a small amount of wind demon blood on her body, it's too easy to be targeted. ”

"Now that I think about it, when the Stargate Council and the Inquisition Court agreed to help Pei'er advance to the third order and live in the Borderlands, they probably already thought about how to use her in the future."

Thor listened, and did not argue, but asked the other party: "According to what you say, if it were not for the last resort, you would not be willing to sacrifice Pe'er?" ”

"Of course."

"Then you and Pei'er actually have a good relationship, right?"

"After all, there is a part of the blood in our bodies that comes from the same man."

Thor clapped his hands, "Then, if there's a chance to get Pell back, would you be willing to do me a small favor?" ”

Ophelia slowly straightened her neck, "Oh? It turns out that you are waiting for me in this place? ”

Thorton felt a mental oppression that slammed down on him like a boulder, causing him to shake his body twice.

This pressure comes not only from the front of himself, but also from the white porcelain vases behind him that are exactly the same shape and style.

"Actually, it's a good test for you." Thor said, "After all, Pell is in the middle of the stars now, and I think you're interested over there." ”

Ophelia was unimpressed, "I'm longing for the stars, but it's also very dangerous, and it's completely out of my control. And the mere act of trying to bring Pell back could lead to very dangerous enemies. ”

"And there's probably no body left over there."

Ophelia was right, the other side of the star was very dangerous, and Pell really didn't even have a body left.

Thor wasn't in a hurry, "What if I said that I've already contacted Pell once, and there's no danger on her side for the time being?" Are you willing to take a risk? ”

Ophelia's head suddenly reached out in front of Thor, her long, white neck twisting several times in the air.

"You've got in touch with the world over there? How do you do it? Have you mastered another stargate? ”

Thor leaned back slightly, avoiding Ophelia's beautiful and terrifying head.

"I had a special relationship with Pell and once. But if I wanted to contact her in the future, I couldn't do anything. ”

Thor tilted his head, and without hesitation, leaned into Ophelia's left ear, who had only one head, and whispered.

"Your Excellency Ophelia, I'm actually very curious about the world on the other side of the stars, so ...... How do we work together? ”
