Chapter 60: Pursuit
Ophelia still smiled calmly.
Thor believed that under her bright red lips, she was not gritting her teeth and tearing them.
But the Sky City Lord was still silent for a few seconds before continuing, "Yes, Krum has indeed found a way to evade my surveillance in the White Glass Castle of Sky City. ”
She looked at Pei'er, who was covering her mouth, "But I also thought of a way to deal with it, do you want to hear it?" ”
Peel's eyes widened and she whimpered.
"But I don't want to tell you."
Oliphia's words made Pe'er look fierce again.
Thor stepped forward to stop Peel, "Do you want me to continue to help you research the biography of the god of water that Krum read before he died?" ”
Ophelia shook her head, "Although you are a genius, the knowledge of the water god is not in the field that you are good at, so it is better to find a few ordinary scholars if I want you to help me study." In fact, I found only the first half of the biography in the dead Krum, and the second half was hidden by him. ”
She couldn't help but raise her head a little, revealing a soft, snow-white, crooked neck that didn't look like a neck.
"I'm secretly looking for the second half of those biographies right now. At the same time, most of the passages out of the city were closed to monitor the abnormal situation on the whole island. So I can't work with you right now. ”
"I see what you mean." Speaking of which, Thor finally knows what Ophelia is up to now, "Track down the cause of Krum's death and retrieve the hidden biography." Once that's done, you can help me contact Perle in the world of Color? ”
Ophelia finally nodded.
"Well, our trade can begin." Thor nodded, then turned to leave, "Please have someone take me to the place where Krum died." ”
Thor walked to the gate, which was opened by a pair of invisible hands.
The sunlight outside tentatively shone in.
Wizard Ona, who had led Thor here, was still standing in the doorway, like a demure sculpture.
"Ona, you're Thor's assistant for the time being. Information that does not involve top secret can be retrieved by him. ”
Oona trembled when she had always been able to salute naturally in the face of Ophelia's clone, and then bent her knees stiffly, "Yes, Lord of the City. ”
Thor turned back, but only the white porcelain vase remained on the throne, and the Sky City Lord inside was nowhere to be seen.
Probably drilled back in.
The door closed as soon as Thor left the main hall.
"Lord Thor, what do you need to do now?"
"I'm going to see where Wizard Krum died."
Ona was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face was not as good as before.
"It turns out that the lord of the castle has entrusted you with this task."
Thor observed Ona's expression and said only when the other party was almost sweating, "Does Krum's death have anything to do with you?" ”
"No, there isn't." Ona lowered her head, but her expression was not flustered.
Then she was nervous because of other things, as well, fear.
The place of Krum's death is in a room inside the White Glazed Castle.
It's a remote place, and it's surrounded by a lot of places where you can put goods with materials that aren't very commonly used.
As soon as Thor and Ona approached, they felt a chill.
He noticed a small house in front of him, with a thick layer of frost on the inside of the door. The cool air is coming out of the room.
Thor didn't enter immediately, but looked left and right, "Although this room can isolate the monitoring of the Ophelia City Lord, but his appearance in such a remote place will not arouse suspicion?" ”
"No, it won't. There are many more places like this in the castle. Along the way, Ona had already sorted out her emotions and answered for Thor with a smile on her face, "There are many wizards living in the White Glass Castle. Most of them are very good scholars, but they also have very strange temperaments. Sometimes they just like to go to strange places to study, to read, and say that this inspires them. Therefore, there are many rooms in the castle to provide them with a place to study. ”
Thor nodded slowly, "Plus the city lord can monitor the entire White Glazed Castle, and even sense the entire Sky City, so she doesn't care where these wizards are studying." It's just that she didn't expect someone to use the surrounding area of the frozen room to isolate her surveillance. ”
Ona's face turned slightly pale, and she unconsciously lowered her voice, "So we have been secretly tracking down the cause of Krum's death and the whereabouts of the things he stole, and this place would normally not be accessible if I didn't bring you here." ”
Thor thought back to all the way through, but he didn't find any facilities to prevent others from entering, not even psychic suggestion items.
However, he soon understood how the Ophelia Lord had prevented the others from entering.
For as they spoke, an Ophelia in a long navy blue dress came out of the frozen room.
"Lord of the Castle." Ona immediately saluted.
Facing Ophelia in a dress, her emotions were not as tense as they were just now.
She seems to have thought of Ophelia, who was everywhere in the castle, and Ophelia, who had only her head and neck exposed in the main hall, as two people.
"Well, you wait outside." Ophelia in the blue dress didn't smile, but not as oppressive as Ophelia in the white porcelain vase.
"Hello, Lord Castle." Thor stepped forward and took the initiative.
Ophelia in front of him nodded demurely, then turned and entered the frozen room.
"Come in and talk."
Thor followed in.
The doors of the house closed immediately, turning the place back into a frozen world.
The frozen room could isolate Ophelia's surveillance, but it was impossible for the other party to let Thor investigate without paying attention to his movements.
So the blue-dressed Ophelia in front of her was deliberately left in the room, a more accurate camera probe with independent transmission.
"Looks like you know why I'm here? Was it your preparation, or was it a message from the main hall? Thor asked curiously.
Ophelia in front of him didn't have much emotional change, "Do you want to ask if the transmission of information between different Ophelia is synchronized?" ”
Thorl cupped his chin and didn't deny it.
"I'm not obligated to tell you, though." Ophelia said, walking to the side of the room, letting go of the space inside, and letting Thor see the body in the inner lounge.
Although he had been dead for more than two days, the corpse was still fresh and did not have the bloodless pale appearance of the deceased.
Thor crouched down and pressed Krum's skin with his fingertips, which was also soft and elastic, unaffected by the freezing cold here.
Thor raised his hand and pressed it down again, and this time his fingertips turned into translucent gray skin.
The skin immediately submerged into the deceased's corpse when it came into contact with it, leaving only the bones outside.
Ophelia in the blue dress stood behind Thor, quietly watching him do something, not hiding his intention to spy at all.
Thor slowly closed his eyes.
"Gollum ......"
He heard the sound of bubbles bubbling in the water.
After a few moments, Thor opened his eyes and stood up again, facing Ophelia, "His body did die from drowning, but the water in his body is not the same as the water stored here. ”
Saul was a little puzzled, "The water is very salty and there are some algae. It seems to come from the deep sea. ”
He looked back at Krum's corpse, which looked like a living person.
"There was only a little consciousness left in his soul, and his essence was gone. In the remnants of his consciousness, I heard the sound of water. ”
