Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 1026

Chapter 1011: Borrowing Sky City

On the Fantasy Channel, Thor heard the situation reported by Char and couldn’t help but get nervous.

“Can you hold on over there?”

[We just repelled the first wave of attacks from the anchor monsters, which was much easier than outside. The skeleton army has already taken shape. Although they are not as flexible as the anchors, they are numerous and can stop the monsters rushing out of the cracks.]

Thor felt relieved after hearing this.

He thought that the Chaos Domain was sealed off because they didn’t want him and Camus to contact each other again, but he didn’t expect that the anchors could break through the outer membrane of the Chaos Domain and attack the Chaos Domain.

“How many enemies are there?”

[There are 11 anchors in the first batch that came out from the Great Rift. They have now retreated to the bottom of the Great Rift. If the number does not increase suddenly, we will have no problem protecting ourselves, but we can’t go down to the Great Rift now, and we don’t know how the anchor monsters got here, and we’re not sure if there will be other monsters coming later.]

Thor thought of a question, “Is your work on mining the skeleton remains also suspended now?”

[Ah! Yes, but the number of the skeleton army is close to the upper limit that Keli and the others can control, so the impact is not too great. 】

This is the advantage of Keli and the others seizing the time to create the skeleton army. Although the mining project is blocked now, the army has already been built.

But if the chaotic domain cannot be opened when the black tide breaks out, then the monster army carefully created by Thor will not be able to fight in the wizard world.

At the same time, Thor also realized that since someone has closed the chaotic domain, it probably doesn’t matter whether he will find clues.

Thor immediately changed the fate line and connected with mentor Gorza.

“Teacher, is there anything abnormal over there?”

Gorza replied quickly.

[No, there is a problem over there? ]

“The chaotic domain cannot be entered or exited.”

[Oh——]

Gorza’s “Oh” sound was drawn out for a long time.

“Teacher, do you know something?”

[Douglas did it. He is the only wizard who knows space best here. ]

Gorza does not pay attention to evidence when making judgments.

“That’s what I guessed. And I also guessed that he did this because he didn’t want me to see Camus again.”

Thor told Gorza what he saw after entering the abyss and what he heard from another consciousness in the abyss.

[…You are simply the nemesis of the Eye of the Abyss. When I saw those spatial cracks, I just…]

Gorza couldn’t help but sigh.

[But what you saw is similar to what I saw. I also found out that there was actually a corpse inside through those spatial cracks. You know, I am good at light and dark witchcraft, and that little crack is enough for me to see the abyss clearly. It’s just that I can’t understand the appearance of the abyss, I can only be sure that it is a corpse. ]

“I didn’t see what was behind the spatial cracks, but I did feel an extremely strong death aura.”

And there is no fate line.

Thor doesn’t know whether the existence of the sixth level also has a fate line that escapes from the body, or they can hide or put it away. So there is no way to judge simply by the fate line.

[But no matter what the state of the abyss is, we need to speed up the progress. Maybe I should agree to Byron’s proposal. 】

“What’s the proposal?”

【The red worms are improving too slowly now, so the half-elf proposed a solution, but it’s risky. 】

“Half-elf? He doesn’t want to send the elves’ consciousness into the inactivated red worms.”

【That’s right. But he said it’s not called sending, it should be called feeding. 】

What will the red worms fed with the elves’ consciousness look like?

Thor couldn’t imagine it for a moment.

And if it is fed, then the elf consciousness that enters the inactivated red worm is probably just a kind of nutrient, instead of becoming the new owner of the worm body like the half-elf.

Then wouldn’t the half-elf’s initial plan to use the red worm to let the elves return to the wizard world fail?

[The half-elf said that he would need our help in the future, so sacrificing part of the elf consciousness is also his expression of sincerity. Heh. ]

“If the number of red worms is sufficient, it can indeed reduce the number of wizards sacrificed.”

[Now that the chaotic domain is temporarily closed, do you want to come to the Star Gate Council and participate in the red worm experiment? ]

Thor thought about it, but shook his head, “I still have to go to the Sky City.”

[What about Ophelia? She has been in seclusion for a long time. Do you want to ask her to join? ]

“Me, I want to borrow her Sky City for use.”

[The kind that can only be borrowed but not returned? ]

“Yes, the kind that can only be borrowed but not returned.”

…

Thor boarded the Sky City for the second time.

At first, he thought that everything here was almost the same as when he came last time.

But when Thor flew over the Institute of Knowledge and the Institute of Practice and arrived at the castle, he found that the clones of Ophelia who were here were gone.

The whole castle was empty, without even a person discussing knowledge or doing experiments.

After circling over the castle, Thor returned to the Institute of Practice where he had been, and went directly to the Dean of the Institute of Practice, Shaquil.

Shaquil was originally drinking something leisurely, and when he looked up and saw Thor suddenly appearing opposite, the water in his mouth almost spurted out, but he swallowed it hard.

He stood up quickly, “Lord Thor, why are you here?”

Shaquil had already received the news announced by the Stargate Council.

Several major news immediately spread around the world like thunder.

One was that Gorza, who everyone thought was dead, suddenly became the new Speaker of the Stargate.

The other was that Thor was promoted to the fourth level.

Shaquil thought of the things he had secretly done under the order of the city lord before, and his heart was scared.

But Thor had not come to Sky City for revenge for a long time, which made Shaquil feel a little relieved.

Unexpectedly, not long after he relaxed his temper, Thor actually stood in front of him.

Shaquil suppressed his fear and looked at Thor. He didn’t know what Thor wanted to do after such a long time in Sky City.

“Where’s Ophelia?”

Thor’s voice sounded very calm, not like he was here for revenge.

“The Lord Mayor of the City has stopped seeing outsiders a few years ago. He is now in the White Glazed Castle.”

“There is no one in the White Glazed Castle.”

“I don’t know about that. The Lord Mayor of the City does not allow us to enter the White Glazed Castle without permission. Everything in the city is handled as usual.”

Shaquil couldn’t help but complain in his heart. Could it be that Lord Mayor Ophelia saw Thor coming and ran away first?

Thor thought for a while, “Ophelia once took me to a place full of pipes called the Mechanical Heart. Do you know the exact location of that place?”

If Ophelia was hiding in the Mechanical Heart, then Thor might not be able to find anyone during his exploration outside the White Glazed Castle.

Shaquille said quickly, “I know. The Mechanical Heart is actually in the center of the lower part of the Sky City that is covered by clouds. But even though I know where it is, I am not allowed to enter. Unless I get permission from Lord Ophelia, anyone else who approaches will be swallowed up by the Mechanical Heart.”

Thor waved his hand and said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to enter. Just take me to the entrance.”
