Although Orna can't understand Thor's hobbies, she doesn't really interfere with the other party.

She wasn't worried about Thor's plot to enter the Academy.

In Ona's opinion, at least within the confines of Sky City, the City Lord of Ophelia is an invincible existence, and no one can calculate her.

Moreover, Thor's hobby is so harmless, and Ona is happy to take this opportunity to approach him.

After all, she still has a mission to approach Thor.

Thinking of this, Ona stepped forward and walked side by side with Thor.

"Will Lord Sol share with me what you have tested?"

Thor didn't refuse Ona's approach, just like he did with other wizards of the same rank in the Academy, and talked casually with her.

After all, Ona is a second-order wizard, and although her main job is not to study various theoretical knowledge, she can also talk freely in many fields if needed.

So with Thor deliberately lowering his posture and Ona trying to show himself, the two chatted happily all the way.

As he chatted, Thor gradually turned the conversation to the Heart of the Machine.

"Didn't the Heart of Machines be invented by the Lord of Ophelia?"

"Not really. And it's not a secret in Sky City. The original Heart of the Machine was conceived by the current director of the Institute of Knowledge, and was designed and assembled through the cooperation of the Institute and the Institute. It was also after the advent of the first generation of Mechanical Hearts that the Lord of Ophelia invested a lot of manpower and material resources to form the Academy of Knowledge and the Academy of Practice in order to create more and more useful knowledge. ”

Thor couldn't help but nod when he heard this.

"In fact, the two houses are a place where brainstorming happens all the time, and it is also a place full of innovation. Think boldly, and verify carefully. ”

Ona covered her lips and smiled, "It seems that you really like the two houses. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that your identity was too important, the city lord would definitely want you to stay in Sky City for a long time. The research atmosphere here is also perfect for you! ”

Is this a subtle message that they didn't want to trap me for a long time?

Thor glanced at Ona, pretending not to understand the other's voice.

"I also like the research atmosphere here, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that low-level wizards are under a lot of pressure here. If you fail to propose a new issue within a certain period of time, you will be taken away and punished, which is more severe than the punishment for not completing the report task. ”

Ona disagreed, "After all, people are inert. If it can't inject fresh blood into Sky City, then why does the city lord raise these low-level wizards and let them do repetitive and simple experiments? ”

Thor didn't say anything more, instead bringing the conversation back to the Heart of the Machine, admiring the ingenuity of its design.

Ona carefully picked up all the information she could say, and at the same time secretly smug in her heart.

This Lord Sol likes to disguise kindness and mingle with low-level wizards, so she abandons her original polite but distant attitude and changes to a more intimate and uninhibited attitude, and sure enough, she and Sol are closer.

In the end, the two made their way to the small building where Thor currently lives.

Looking at the inconspicuous two-story building in front of her, Ona stepped forward and carefully narrowed the distance between her and Thor, "Do you mind if Lord Thorr goes up and has a visit?" ”

Thor opened the door, stepped forward and entered first, then turned to Ona outside and said, "Forget about visiting." ”

Then he closed the door and shut out Ona, who had been chatting happily all the way.

The corners of Oona's eyes twitched, barely keeping the bright smile on her face.

As time passed, the white porcelain cat gradually changed from a curse that could only be passed down among a few apprentices to a small, mass-produced witchcraft item that could be sold in the market.

As producers, Thor and Nathan actually made a lot of magic crystals because of this, and Thor took the lion's share.

Soon, it was time for the third connection experiment.

With a grimace on her face, Ona welcomed Thor into the White Glazed Castle.

These days, she is often seen by Saul's side, trying to get closer and find every opportunity to create an ambiguous atmosphere.

But she didn't know why, for wizards like them, the pleasures of the flesh were as ordinary pleasures as eating and drinking, and why Thor just wouldn't touch her.

Oona, who failed to complete the explanation given by the city lord of Ophelia, naturally became more and more anxious day by day.

"Lord Thor, the city lord asks you to come over." Ona extends the invitation outside Thor's two-story building.

"Wait a minute."

Thor's voice came through the crack in the door.

It didn't take long for the door to open, and a refreshed Thor stepped out of it.

"I'll send you into the White Glass Castle."

"Actually, Wizard Ona, you don't have to pick me up every time. I now fully recognize the way. ”

"Hey. If you don't let me pick you up, what chance do I have to talk to you? What a joy it was to have the guidance of a third-order wizard! ”

Thor shook his head and smiled, "Forget what others say, but you are the one who often follows Lord Ophelia, how can you lack the guidance of a high-level wizard?" ”

Ona looked pitiful again, "What do I mean, don't you really know, Lord Thor?" ”

Seeing that Ona wanted to find out, Thor simply kept silent and refused to communicate.

So the resentful Ona was even more resentful.

Thor was extremely resistant to pressure, withstanding Aona's scorching gaze, and passed through the spatial teleportation circle to the heart of the machine.

At this time, one of Ophelia's heads was already waiting here.

"I've been waiting for a long time, I'll start setting up the circle now." Thor nodded at Ophelia, and was about to begin preparing the witchcraft circle.

Today, however, Ophelia stopped him.

"After the previous two experiments, I found that the mental power I provided to you was not stable enough. So today I'm going to do it in a different way, and I'm no longer going to provide you with mental support. ”

Thor paused, frowning disapprovingly, "But Lord Ophelia, except for you, who is a fourth-order wizard, the strength provided by others is probably not enough to penetrate the barrier of the stargate. ”

Ophelia patiently explained, "Don't worry. I will still help you break through the barrier of the stargate, but after that, the spiritual power simulation harmony and the replenishment of spiritual power will be handed over to the mechanical heart. ”

Thor asked in surprise, "Does the Heart of the Machine still have such a powerful ability?" ”

"Naturally, you can't do this in front of you." Ophelia smiled, her head shrinking back into the thick white mist, "So today, I'm going to take you to meet the true Heart of the Machine." ”

Looking at the vanished Ophelia, Thor wanted to ask something, but suddenly found that the fog around him suddenly increased.

The thick mist almost turned into a coagulated gelatin.

Thor stood in the fog so thick that he couldn't see his fingers, and he felt the terrifying pressure of the deep sea.

Then, his feet suddenly emptied, and the whole person was squeezed down by the pressure from other directions.

When Thor fell out of the white mist, he found himself in another room.

The temperature here is so high that the air seems to be boiling and bubbling.

He rubbed the aching corners of his forehead to sober himself up. When I opened my eyes again, I saw a huge steel furnace standing in front of me.

The "firewood" in the furnace was burned with a crackling sound.

Waves of heat came from the mouth of the furnace, almost burning Thor's skin.

"This is the fuel stove." Ophelia's voice came from overhead, "This is the heart of the Heart of Machines, and the power supply of the entire Sky City. ”

Thor raised his right hand, trying to block out the heat from the furnace in front of him, but his eyes slowly widened as he saw the firewood in the furnace.

Burning in the fuel road was a corpse as black as carbon!

Those corpses were burning and exuding strong spiritual power and magic at the same time.

And even after being burned in the fuel furnace for a long time, the firewood of those corpses shows no sign of abating.

All of this shows that it is the corpse of a wizard that is burning in the fuel furnace!
