Chapter Seventy-Four: Concealment and Closure
"He rejected you?"
After the flying carriage took off, Ophelia, dressed in a blue dress, carried the hem of her skirt and ascended the stairs on one side of the platform.
Onia was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Castle, I didn't finish your explanation. ”
Ophelia stepped forward and pinched Ona's white jaw, "No, in terms of looks, you're no worse than Pelle." ”
Ona's face flushed slightly, "Perhaps, maybe Wizard Thor likes your sister very much. ”
"Shh Ophelia shook off Ona and sneered, "Romance with a wizard? I'd rather believe that he's not even interested in venting your instincts when it comes to you. ”
Ophelia walked to the edge of the platform and leaned on the wall with one hand, "But after all, he is already a third-order wizard, and it is normal for him to have less interest in the flesh. ”
The index finger taps lightly on the masonry, making a "knock" sound.
"He's only a second-order when he's with Peel, and Pe'er is already a senior third-order wizard......" Ophelia smiled, tilting her head to the side and letting the breeze blow her hair, "Maybe he prefers psychological pleasure." ”
Aona, who was following behind, had a stiff face, "City Lord, won't you be?" How can this be? ”
Ophelia didn't pay attention to the change in Orna's mood behind her, the more she thought about it, the more interested she became, "There must be some kind of secret in this Thor's body, and since Pe'er was with him, there is an extra shadow in his mental body that I can't detect." And this shadow must be the fundamental reason why she can survive outside the stargate. ”
She turned abruptly, her long skirt fluttering in a sharp arc in the air.
"I'm very interested in him right now! Until I get his secret, no one is allowed to let him leave Sky City, and I must be held back! ”
Ona immediately knelt down, "Yes, I'll do whatever it takes." Also, I'll continue to try to win the favor of Wizard Thor, so please give me another chance. ”
Ophelia glanced at Ona, and the smile on her face disappeared, "Go ahead." ”
Ona breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes." ”
"In addition, summon Kismet, saying that there is something on my side, ask him not to come over yet, and talk about it in half a year."
"Yes."
……
Thor doesn't know that Ophelia is already coveting Pe's body because of what happened to him.
When he returned to the inn, the first thing he did was to call back the scattered consciousnesses.
"Did you get anything out of today?"
Agu gathers intel in the apprenticeship quarter.
"The apprentices here are all free to attend until they become Level 3 apprentices, but the magic crystals and sorcery materials need to be paid for or prepared by themselves. After becoming a Level 3 apprentice, you can work and live in the outer city. It is said that many Level 3 apprentices work on the airport and airboat. ”
"Some people who have good talents, or who have the money to continue their studies, will continue to study in the lecture hall, or go to the Seeking Knowledge Institute and the Practice Institute, and as long as they pass the assessment, they can continue to study there. However, the two colleges have high requirements for apprentices, and only those with outstanding talents will be admitted. ”
Thor listened to Agu's introduction, and immediately felt that Sky City was like a university town.
"What about first-order wizards?"
"Most of the first-order wizards and second-order wizards are in the two courts." It was Beth who spoke, she was originally a third-order wizard, and it was safest to go to the Academy of Knowledge and the Academy of Practice to investigate information.
"The deans of both academies are third-order wizards. However, there are mostly high-level wizards and low-level wizards and apprentices doing experiments. Also, the apprentices over there don't have a good time. ”
Beth crossed her arms over her chest, "This is different from Baidong Academy, we are serious about teaching, they are more like apprentices who don't want magic crystals and experiments. I'm willing to bet that apprentices and low-level wizards here must have a higher mortality rate than they advertised! ”
"It's a melting pot here." Beth sneered.
Herman looked left and right, raised his hand, and said, "I found something at the airport." ”
Everyone looked at him.
"The airport seems to be under martial law."
"What's wrong?"
"Several people died on the airboat, and it is said that there is a little princess of other forces, and now in order to track down the murderer, all airboat entry and exit have been suspended."
Ann continued: "Actually, before the death, the airships had already begun to restrict access and access. Near the lecture hall, I saw the wizard apprentice who was on the same airboat as us, and he seemed to have been able to leave Sky City and was trying to make money. ”
Thor put his hand behind his chin, "The man who came from the same airboat as us hasn't left yet. It seems that this Hong Kong closure is 50% likely aimed at me. ”
"Huh?" *4
Beth frowned, her face not very good-looking, "Could it be that the Wizard Ophelia doesn't want you to leave?" Wouldn't we have fallen into the net when we came? ”
"Don't be in a hurry." Saul was calm, "For now, she doesn't plan to imprison me directly on the surface. She still didn't want me to notice about it when she locked down Sky City like this. If I'm right, she'll definitely stumble me in other ways next. ”
Thor said to the others, "In that case, we need to prepare as well. Next, you don't have to come back for the time being, and according to my assignment, the auxiliary circle will be arranged in a concealed manner. ”
Agu was a little worried, "But master, Ophelia may not be good for you, do you still want to choose her as the second one?" ”
"Let's see, it's not clear what Ophelia is going to do. But it's a good idea to be prepared. ”
Agu nodded.
After the few people left, Thor sat alone in the room, and his hands subconsciously began to pet the white porcelain cat on the table.
"If Ophelia can't, then Pentagram will have to be chosen differently."
Out of sight of ordinary people, the atmosphere in Sky City begins to become tense.
Saul went to the lecture hall as usual.
Now, the number of Level 3 apprentices is increasing.
This is not because Thor's apprentice promotion failed, on the contrary, there are already three apprentices in his substitute class who have successfully advanced to the rank of official wizard.
This probability has already shocked other instructors and apprentices. Everyone knows that there is a very powerful substitute lecturer in the lecture hall. Some of the third-level apprentices who had already given up on promotion signed up for the class, just to seize this opportunity, hoping to become the next apprentice to be promoted to wizard.
One day a month later, Paul was dragged to class by a friend who had also been absent from the lecture hall for a long time.
He didn't want to come to class, not because he didn't want to be promoted, but because he brought his daughter Mina with him when he was on a guard mission this time.
As a result, during this time, Sky City could only enter and exit, and he was never able to send his daughter back to her hometown.
Sky City isn't as rosy as it seems, and Paul doesn't even feel comfortable leaving Mina alone in her rental house.
But now that his landlord, the friend who brought him to class, asked his sister to accompany Mina, Paul had time to go out alone.
His friend Nero frowned, "I heard that the new mentor used an apprentice in the classroom a week ago to directly transform his locator very powerfully, and now he has gone back to prepare for the promotion ceremony." Well, if only he could use me as an example today. ”
Paul was still looking back frequently, and although he had a gloomy face all day long, he cared very much about his daughter.
"I'll accompany you to a class, and I'll leave after class."
"Really, since you have a daughter, you don't deserve to be a wizard at all. A real wizard should be like Mentor Thor, sensible and arrogant! ”
Paul looked back and froze, "What teacher?" What's his name? ”
