Chapter 757 Sky City, Whispering Flower
Thor was invited by the witch of Sky City to board a small airship.
The technical content of this small airship is obviously much higher than that of the large airship.
Large airships still rely on balloons to take off, and witchcraft mainly plays a role in guiding direction, controlling speed, and maintaining safety.
But the small airship that Thor is riding now relies entirely on magic power to take off.
The Sky City can keep a huge island afloat for a long time, let alone a small pocket-sized airship.
"The locals call it the flying carriage." The witch had just finished introducing herself. Her name was Ona, Olivia's close attendant, in charge of the internal affairs of Sky City.
In Thor's view, it is the same role as the butler Hope.
"In front of us is the most beautiful scenery in Sky City, the Flower Sea Street." Ona did not seem to be in a hurry to bring Thor to Ophelia. Instead, she introduced the layout and scenery of Sky City to Thor like a tour guide.
Thor looked out of the window of the flying carriage and saw the sea of flowers that he had seen on the airship before.
When the wind blows, pink and white petals swirl and fly onto the car windows, and then are quickly blown away by the next breeze.
"This is the most abundant plant in the city, the Whispering Flower. In fact, we plant it mainly to strengthen the soil and conserve water." Ona introduced it in a serious manner, "By the way, from here on, you will basically not see ordinary people. The minimum requirement to work here is a second-level apprentice."
As if to cater to the dreamy beauty of the whispering flowers, the buildings here are also very exquisite.
The most common buildings on the street are two- or three-story buildings. Almost every building has a magic circle engraved on its roof and wall.
There were not many people walking on the street, and those who did were in a hurry. Many people had flower petals stuck to their bodies.
As if in a hurry, no one brushed off the petals on their bodies. It seemed that these passers-by also blended into the surrounding sea of flowers.
Just to the left front of the flying carriage, a window on the second floor was pushed open.
A young man with blond hair and a fair face stuck his head out, seemingly admiring the beautiful scenery outside.
Then, Thor saw him raise his hand and push a...corpse out of the window.
The head and limbs of the corpse were incomplete, as if they had been eaten by some creature.
As it fell through the second-floor window, a large amount of blood splattered on the pink-white wall.
"Bang!"
The body fell onto the petals-covered soil on the street, splashing countless broken petals.
When the petals fell again, they buried the body again.
Not long after.
The moment the flying carriage sped past, the corpse suddenly disappeared.
Only the bloodstains on the wall could prove that what had just happened was not an illusion.
Oona was sitting next to Thor and saw the scene of the body being thrown away, but her expression did not change at all. It was as if what the blond boy had thrown out was not a body, but a bunch of wild flowers.
"Okay." Thor laughed secretly, "This is still the wizarding world, not a paradise."
As the flying carriage continued to move forward, the sea of flowers gradually disappeared, and the exquisite landscape buildings turned into neat townhouses and small squares with different functions.
"This is the Institute of Knowledge, and that is the Institute of Practice."
There is not much scenery in Qiuzhiyuan, and most people stay in their houses. Occasionally, there are people reading books in the square, looking very hardworking and diligent.
But when the flying carriage passed by the Practice Institute, Thor found that the small square here was much more lively.
A wizard in one of the small squares seemed to be doing some experiment. The experiment failed, and the upper body of the wizard apprentice who was assisting was blown to pieces.
A large amount of blood spurted out along with pieces of flesh.
The wizard, who had nothing to do, was reviewing his notes, only concerned about why the experiment had failed.
In the space of a few minutes, Thor witnessed two deaths.
But no one made a fuss either at the place where the accident happened or on the flying carriage.
Only the pink petals seemed disturbed, spinning in the wind.
Thor opened the car window and reached out to pinch a petal. "Could this whispering petal be stained with human blood?"
Ona covered her mouth in surprise, and said with a hint of playfulness, "Don't tease us, human blood stinks."
The flying carriage passed through the Practice Academy and the Knowledge Academy, crossed the densely packed residential area and a circular sea of flowers, and finally arrived at the tallest building in Sky City, a light blue castle that could blend into the sky.
Aona smiled, with pride in her eyes, "That's the white glazed palace where the city lord is."
The flying carriage slowly landed on an open-air platform.
There were three people standing on the edge of the platform, two men and one woman. They were discussing something intently and intensely, and seemed to have not noticed the landing of the carriage at all.
The two men were wearing ordinary black wizard robes, while the woman was wearing a sea-blue dress. Half of her long hair was tied up, and the rest hung on her shoulders and chest, making even her skin shine.
Standing there, abrupt and dazzling.
After the flying carriage came to a stop, Ona was the first to jump off.
Thor saw her walk straight over and curtsey to the woman in the blue dress.
"City Lord, I have invited Lord Thor over here."
That woman turned out to be Ophelia?
Is she waiting for me here?
Thor hardly felt any magical fluctuations from her. Apart from her outstanding appearance, she was like an ordinary person in other aspects.
Ophelia heard what Ona said, stopped discussing, turned her head and nodded slightly to Sol, then said to Ona: "Sir Sol, please go to see me in the main hall."
Ona knelt again and saluted, then came back without letting Sol go forward to greet Ophelia.
Thor was a little confused, and then he heard Ona say, "Please follow me to the main hall to see the city lord."
After saying that, Ona walked ahead.
Thor followed, took two steps, and turned back to look at Ophelia who was still standing on the edge of the platform talking to the two wizards.
"Maybe she will go to the main hall after she finishes talking?" Thor turned around and continued to follow Ona. "It seems we have to wait there for a while. Maybe I can release Pearl and Nerilla. Since Ophelia can sense that I came to the island, she should be able to find her sister."
But Thor had just walked less than ten meters when he ran into Ophelia again! At this time, the witch in a blue dress was discussing something with another wizard - a wizard who was different from the two male wizards before, with a few pieces of snow-white manuscript paper in their hands.
His expression was calm and focused.
When Ona was less than three meters away from Ophelia, she knelt down again.
"Lord City Lord."
Ophelia didn't even nod at her this time, and walked past Ona and Sol as if she hadn't seen anything.
Thor followed Ophelia as she passed him, and looked back little by little until he saw her also walking to the platform.
At this moment, there were two identical Ophelias standing on the platform, one on the left and one on the right!
Neither Ona nor the wizards who talked to the two Ophelias raised any questions about this.
"Is this the magic of clones?" Thor couldn't help but ask Ona beside him.
"Yes, Lord Thor." Ona nodded with a smile, "The Lord City Lord always said that time is limited, but knowledge is infinite. If possible, she hopes to transform into thousands of incarnations in order to pursue more knowledge."
Thor couldn't help but sigh, "It's not difficult to create a clone, and splitting the soul is just a little painful, but splitting the soul while splitting a part of the consciousness that can think independently... Lady Ophelia is really amazing!"
He suddenly thought of Pearl in the diary.
In fact, her consciousness was also separated by the wind demon Pei'er.
These two sisters actually both like to cut themselves! (End of this chapter)
