Chapter 1012: Work for me obediently
Saul followed Shaquille into the basement of the practice.
There are pipes extending from the Mechanical Heart underground in the Practice Institute and the Knowledge Institute.
It can also be said that the most important areas of the entire Sky City are also connected to the Mechanical Heart.
These important areas also have passages leading into the Mechanical Heart, but these passages are closed most of the time. Ophelia can only enter through the space transfer array to avoid wear and tear on the Mechanical Heart as much as possible.
But now the space transfer array that was once located in the White Glazed Castle has disappeared. When the space array is not in use, there is almost no magic fluctuation, so now no one knows where Ophelia transferred the external array.
Therefore, Thor can only try to enter the Mechanical Heart through the connected pipe.
Under Shaquille's guidance, he found a pipe mixed in with other vents, and then put his own thread of destiny in it first.
The channel is hollow, and the flipped and folded pipe inside has no effect on the fate line.
Only after going down to a certain depth, the air began to become hazy and sticky, as if there was a large amount of steam mixed in the pipes.
Thor's destiny continues to deepen.
The walls of the pipe began to become blurred and rough, covered with dried debris.
It should be the limb of a creature, but because it is too small, it is impossible to tell what creature it is with the naked eye.
There is also no way to confirm whether they are the low-level wizards who were sacrificed as nourishment to the Sky City.
Thor's mental force continued downward without any hindrance.
Then something semi-liquid and semi-solid began to appear in the pipe. This unknown thing almost merged with the pipe, gently expanding and contracting, with a frequency similar to that of a normal person's heartbeat.
Seeing this, Thor knew that he was almost reaching his destination.
Although Thor's fate line entered smoothly, there was actually no danger in the pipeline. It was just that for the fate line, many traps and restrictions were things on another level and could not affect such a high-level existence as the fate line.
If anyone else wanted to enter the Mechanical Heart through the pipe, it would not be as smooth as Thor.
Even for a fourth-level wizard, it would take a considerable amount of time, and the noise and chain reaction caused would likely alarm Ophelia.
Thor continued to go deeper, bypassing a complex mechanical facility that looked like it could explode easily and going deeper into the place below where there was space feedback.
That should be the place where Ophelia and Thor once conducted experiments to explore and connect with the colorful world.
As the fate line goes deeper, the pipe becomes smooth again, and the metallic feel weakens, making it more like a girl with silver skin, smooth and warm to the touch.
Finally, the line of destiny broke through the last layer of obstacles and entered the mechanical heart.
But to Saul's slight disappointment, Ophelia wasn't here either!
After checking around, Thor searched almost every corner, but found no trace of Ophelia or any magical fluctuations.
The entire Mechanical Heart was very clean, as if no one had been here for several years.
Thor withdrew his hand and looked at Shaquille, who was standing aside and didn't dare to leave. "She is not in the Mechanical Heart."
Shaquille was waiting for Thor to enter the pipeline, and then find that he could not enter, or was blocked and took tough measures. Who knew that Thor told him that the city lord was not in there before he could think of a response strategy? No, how did you know? Shaquille's mind was full of question marks.
"Besides the White Glazed Castle and the Mechanical Heart, is it possible that Ophelia is somewhere else?"
Shaquille spread his hands helplessly, "I really don't know about this. In fact, we don't know the movements of Lord Ophelia on weekdays. After all, you know, if we want to find the Lord, we just need to go to White Glazed Castle and report to any Lord."
Thor crossed his arms and tapped his fingers on his arms. "Yeah, back then, Ophelia was everywhere, but now there's not a single Ophelia left. So where can she go?"
Ophelia was obviously trying to conceal her whereabouts so that outsiders would think she was in Sky City.
"Who among you last saw Ophelia?"
Sweat broke out on Shaquille's forehead as he found that he couldn't answer several of the questions Thor asked.
"Well, at that time, the city lord suddenly sent us a message to close the White Glazed Castle for training, so we didn't see her."
"So when did she send you the message?"
Shaquille quickly gave a date.
Thor calculated in his mind and found that the date was shortly after he escaped from Sky City.
He thought to himself, "I met Kismet after I came out of Sky City. Kismet said he would help me deal with Ophelia. And after that, Ophelia really didn't come to chase me. Could her sudden retreat be related to Kismet?"
"The former owner of the diary, Douglas, who had been traveling for hundreds of years and had not returned, suddenly returned to the wizarding world. Could it be because Kismet and Ophelia did something? For example, they jointly sent a signal to Douglas?"
Ophelia failed to be promoted at that time, but she regarded Thor as the next channel for promotion to the fifth level. If Kismet had any way to make Ophelia give up chasing Thor and cut off contact with the outside world, it must be something related to promotion.
If you want to know how to advance to level five, of course the most efficient way is to ask a level five wizard directly!
Thor struggled to connect the three people together.
"If Ophelia is really related to Douglas, then she is probably not in Sky City, but in the Iskeper Continent!"
Thinking of this, Thor flew directly to a high altitude above the Sky City and looked down at the busy wizards and ordinary people on the ground.
Then, his voice spread throughout the Sky City.
"Ms. Ophelia, I'm Thor, and I want to borrow your Sky City. If you don't refuse within one day, I'll assume that you agree!"
Everyone on the island was in an uproar, and those who knew Thor and those who didn't were stunned.
Shaquille, the dean of the practice institute who had just followed Thor, opened his mouth wide.
"Borrow what?"
His voice was not loud, but Thor, who was high in the sky, could still hear it clearly.
Thor lowered his head, and Shaquille's confused expression appeared in his eyes.
"If Ophelia does not come out to refuse, everyone in Sky City needs to leave within ten days. The transfer work will be handed over to the dean of the Practice Institute, and everything else can be carried out according to your old rules."
Only then did Shaquille understand what it meant that there was no most surprising thing, only greater surprises.
If it weren't for maintaining his dignity as a third-level wizard, he really wanted to follow the example of other ordinary people, sit down on the ground, and quit.
This kind of thing where the entire island's population is relocated within ten days... there is no such precedent! After Thor finished speaking, he didn't care about other people's reactions at all, and flew directly into the main hall of Bai Liuli Castle, sitting on the city lord's throne that Ophelia Vase had sat on.
Anyway, Thor would not waste the next eleven days of waiting.
Eleven days later, he would start transforming this isolated island into a carrier of error, that is, a bait that carries the essence of error, and then feed it to the abyss! This transformation is destined to be extremely difficult, but Saul has already thought about it, and he will invite Douglas to come over to study together.
After Thor discovered that the Abyss seemed to want to stop Camus from erupting the black tide, he found that all channels that could communicate with Camus were cut off.
Since Douglas must make the Black Tide erupt completely and let the Abyss completely start the doomsday erosion, then come and work for him obediently! Otherwise, Thor will lie down and quit! Let him observe the ghost!
