Chapter 759 Ophelia's Commission
After the Dark Moon Era, the way for wizards to advance to the fifth level and travel to other worlds was cut off.
But until the New Moon Calendar, the only remaining fourth-level wizards in the world did not give up looking for ways to advance.
The Inquisition places its hopes on the culprit, the Eye of the Abyss.
The Stargate Council holds on to the only Stargate and refuses to let go.
As an independent force, Ophelia, the Lord of Sky City, has been looking for ways for ancient wizards to advance. She believes that even if the world changes, the path that once led to fifth-level wizards will not be completely cut off.
After all the wizards in Sky City worked hard to explore and study, Ophelia also obtained several suspected methods of promotion to fifth-level wizards.
However, these methods either lack important information, are too dangerous and have a 100% chance of survival, or lack the corresponding witchcraft resources.
"Actually, sometimes I envy the gods worshipped by those ignorant people in ancient times. Do you know Biqiye?" Ophelia expressed a lot of emotion and asked Thor casually.
“I’ve heard a little bit about it.”
"Initially, the human sacrifice of Biqiye was not as simple atrocities as we thought. It also contained many witchcraft principles, but now they have been lost. Only a few small tricks and killings for catharsis remain."
Ophelia's neck slowly shortened, and her head returned to the white porcelain bottle. She turned twice like a screw, and then slowly stopped towards Thor.
"You want me to help you contact Pearl. If it were normal, I would also like to contact the colorful world you mentioned. But now, I have finally found a clue to the ancient wizard's promotion path that I have been pursuing. I can't spare the energy to help you for the time being."
“How long will it take you to make time?”
"Who can say for sure about witchcraft experiments? Maybe it will take a year, maybe it will take a hundred years... I won't give up easily until I'm sure I can't continue."
Saul also thought that Ophelia might not help him. Although there were alternative candidates, he still had to try hard to win her over.
"Is the colorful world less attractive to you than a fifth-level wizard?"
Ophelia chuckled. "If the Fantasy World is really like what you said, it can indeed reach the sixth level, but that also means it is powerful, dangerous, and difficult to resist. For me, the fifth level promotion plan is more practical."
Thor was about to make some more conditions, but he saw his diary moving. He swallowed back what he was about to say and drew out a spirit from his temple.
Ophelia watched Thor's actions and was obviously concerned about the conditions he was going to propose next.
However, Saul pulled Pearl, who had been in the black page state, out of the diary.
The spirit fell, squirmed and took shape, transforming into a woman with two heads.
One of the heads was that of Pearl, who looked up and glared at Ophelia fiercely with a ferocious face.
The other leader is Nerella. She is very uneasy when she meets Ophelia for the first time and can only keep looking for Thor with her peripheral vision.
Saul signaled her not to worry and to see what Pearl said.
Ophelia was a little surprised but also a little confused when she saw Pearl.
"No wonder Thor came here so quickly. It turned out that you reminded him."
Pei Er snorted coldly, "So, just put away that hypocritical look. Others may not know your situation, but don't I know it too?"
The other head, Narilla, lowered its head with its chin almost touching its chest.
Pearl continued to speak, not caring at all about exposing Ophelia's secrets in public, "If the ancient wizards' promotion methods are really suitable for you, would you still betray me directly in order to participate in the research of the Star Gate?"
Pearl gritted her teeth and said, "I have never been to the Star Gate. If they want to know me, they can only go through you. If you hadn't told the people of the Star Gate Council all my information, how dare they let that idiot become a test subject to explore the coordinates of the Star Gate?"
"She is indeed a fool." Ophelia said faintly, "I have told her not to separate her emotions when separating consciousness. But she still separated you. Now it seems that you have a fairly independent consciousness. Even if Pearl comes back, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to take you back."
"Even if she comes back, I will devour her! With that brain of hers, how can she survive in this world?"
Pearl straightened her chest, as if she wanted to take a step forward, but the right to move her body was still in Nerilla's hands. This second-level little wizard didn't dare to go forward to face Ophelia, and her feet were firmly fixed in place.
Pearl's action failed and she could only glare at Narilla fiercely. Fortunately, she still remembered her mission.
"Anyway, you don't have to pretend in front of me. Even if you are really researching a way to advance to the fifth level, aren't all your clones researching it? How is it possible that you really don't have time to connect to the Fantasy World? If you have any conditions, just put them forward quickly. If you are too slow, I will let Thor go directly to Arik. His interest in the Fantasy World is definitely no less than yours."
Ophelia was not angry. "You are right. I am more interested in the colorful world, but it is also true that I am very busy now."
She looked at Thor and said, "If you really want me to help you connect to the Colorful World right now, you need to accept a commission. Only if you accept this commission can I devote some of my energy to helping you communicate with the Colorful World."
Thor nodded. "This can be considered a deal. Please tell me what it is specifically."
Ophelia suddenly lowered her voice, "A third-level wizard died in Sky City recently... He drowned."
Drowned?
Somehow, Thor suddenly thought of the white porcelain kitten he saw on the airship.
Could that artifact have such great power that it could even kill a third-level wizard?
Thor's expression remained unchanged. "You want me to find out the cause of death of that third-level wizard?"
"More than that. He died while helping me research a method for the advancement of an ancient wizard. But he betrayed me."
It was hard to tell from Ophelia's voice whether she was angry about her men's betrayal or not.
"The Biqiye I told you about before were barbarians who enjoyed killing and blood in ancient times. The method of advancement I found this time came from an existence called the Water God in ancient times."
Thor thought, "Is this a water god? It seems that Ophelia doesn't agree with the term water god. Also, I'm in the Chaos Realm now, and I'm also called the Judge of Death. If Noah had been a little braver, I would be the God of Death now."
Ophelia didn't seem to notice Thor's distraction, or she didn't care if she did. She continued, "The dead third-level wizard was called Krum. He used to be a wizard from the Nephrite continent. After he came to Sky City, I didn't care about his background and gave him several biographies related to the Ancient Water God to study. Who knew he really found traces of the Ancient Water God."
"However, after he found the traces left by the water god, he did not report it to me. Instead, he found a room with six walls sealed in ice and conducted research in secret."
Pearl suddenly laughed and said mercilessly: "It seems that your men have found a way to evade your surveillance. A frozen room, no liquid water, hahahaha... um!"
Pearl's laughter suddenly stopped because Nerella, at Thor's signal, covered her mouth with her hand.
Thor turned his head and said, "Please continue."
