Chapter 780 Fuel Furnace
Although Oona couldn't understand Thor's hobbies, she wouldn't really interfere with him.
She was also not worried that Thor had some conspiracy behind entering the Academy of Knowledge.
In Ona's opinion, at least within the Sky City, City Lord Ophelia is invincible and no one can plot against her.
Moreover, Thor's hobby was so harmless that Ona was happy to take this opportunity to get close to him.
After all, she still had the mission of getting close to Thor.
Thinking of this, Ona stepped forward and walked side by side with Thor.
"Then Lord Thor, are you willing to share the knowledge you have confirmed with me?"
Thor did not reject Ona's approach, and chatted with her casually just like he did with other wizards of the same level in the Academy of Knowledge.
After all, Ona is a second-level wizard. Although her main job is not to study various theoretical knowledge, she can also talk about many fields if necessary.
So with Thor deliberately lowering his posture and Ona trying hard to stand on tiptoe to show herself, the two chatted happily all the way.
As they chatted, Thor gradually turned the topic to the Mechanical Heart.
"Wasn't the Mechanical Heart invented by Lord Ophelia?"
"Not really. And this is no secret in Sky City. The original Mechanical Heart was conceived by the current dean of the Institute of Knowledge. After the joint efforts of the Institute of Knowledge and the Institute of Practice, the design and assembly were finally completed. It was also after the first generation of Mechanical Heart came out that Lord Ophelia invested a lot of manpower and material resources to establish the Institute of Knowledge and the Institute of Practice in order to create more and more useful knowledge."
Thor couldn't help but nod after hearing this.
"In fact, the two houses are a place where brainstorming happens all the time, and it is also a place full of innovation. Be bold in your ideas and be careful in your verification."
Aona smiled and covered her lips. "It seems that you really like the two academies. In fact, if your identity is not too important, the city lord will definitely hope that you can stay in Sky City for a long time. The research atmosphere here is also very suitable for you!"
Isn't this a subtle message that they don't want to trap me for a long time?
Thor glanced at Ona, pretending not to understand the hidden meaning in her words.
"I also like the research atmosphere here, but..."
"Just what?"
"But low-level wizards are under a lot of pressure here. If you fail to come up with a new topic within a certain period of time, you will be taken away and punished. The punishment is heavier than failing to complete the report task."
Aona didn't care. "After all, people are lazy. If we can't inject fresh blood into Sky City, why does the city lord keep these low-level wizards and let them do repetitive and simple experiments?"
Thor didn't say anything else, but instead brought the topic back to the Mechanical Heart, praising its exquisite design.
Ona carefully picked up all the information she could and told it, feeling secretly proud of herself at the same time.
This Lord Thor liked to pretend to be friendly and mingle with low-level wizards, so she abandoned her original polite but distant attitude and adopted a more intimate and unrestrained attitude, which really brought her and Thor closer.
Finally, the two walked all the way to the small building where Thor currently lived.
Looking at the unremarkable two-story building in front of her, Ona took a step forward and carefully closed the distance between her and Thor. "Lord Thor, do you mind if I go up and take a look?"
Thor opened the door, took a step forward and entered first, then turned to Ona outside and said, "Forget about the visit."
Then he closed the door, locking Ona, who had been chatting happily all the way, out.
Ona's eyes twitched, and she almost couldn't keep the bright smile on her face.
As time passed, the white porcelain cat gradually changed from a cursed object that could only be circulated among a few apprentices to a small-scale mass-produced witchcraft prop that could be sold on the market.
As the producers, Thor and Nathan actually made a lot of magic crystals from this, and Thor took the lion's share.
Soon, the day for the third connection experiment arrived.
Ona welcomed Thor into the White Glazed Castle with a resentful look on her face.
These days she often appears next to Thor, trying to get closer to him and finding every opportunity to create an ambiguous atmosphere.
But she didn't know why, for wizards like them, physical pleasure was just as common as eating and drinking, so why didn't Thor want to touch her.
Ona, who failed to complete the task assigned by City Lord Ophelia, naturally became more and more anxious day by day.
"Lord Thor, the city lord wants you to come over." Ona made the invitation outside Thor's two-story building.
"Hold on."
Thor's voice came from the crack in the door.
Not long after, the door opened and Thor, full of energy, walked out.
"I'll take you into the White Glazed Castle."
"Actually, Wizard Ona, you don't have to pick me up every time. I know the way perfectly now."
"Hey. If you don't let me pick you up, then how can I have the chance to communicate with you? It's such a joy to receive guidance from a third-level wizard!"
Thor shook his head and smiled. "Forget what others say. You often follow Lady Ophelia. How could you lack the guidance of a high-level wizard?"
Oona showed a pitiful expression again, "Master Thor, do you really not know what I mean?"
Seeing that Ona wanted to make things clear, Thor simply kept silent and refused to communicate.
So the resentful Ona became even more resentful.
Thor, who has a strong ability to withstand pressure, passed through the space teleportation array and came to the Mechanical Heart under Ona's burning gaze.
At this time, Ophelia's head was already waiting here.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I'll start setting up the magic circle now." Thor nodded to Ophelia, and immediately began to prepare the witchcraft circle.
But today 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 am going to change the method and no longer provide you with mental support."
Thor paused and frowned disapprovingly, "But Lady Ophelia, except for you as a fourth-level wizard, the power provided by others may not be enough to penetrate the barrier of the star gate."
Ophelia explained patiently, "Don't worry. I will still help you break through the barrier of the star gate, but the subsequent mental simulation synchronization and mental power replenishment will be left to the Mechanical Heart."
Thor asked in surprise: "Does the Mechanical Heart have such a powerful ability?"
"The one in front of you is naturally not good." Ophelia smiled, and her head slowly retracted into the thick white mist. "So today, I will take you to see the real Mechanical Heart."
Looking at the disappearing Ophelia, Thor opened his mouth to ask something, but suddenly found that the fog around him suddenly became thicker.
The thick fog almost turned into a solid gel.
Thor stood in the fog so thick that he couldn't see his fingers, and he actually felt the terrifying pressure as if he was at the bottom of the deep sea.
Then, his feet suddenly felt empty and he was pushed down by the pressure from other directions.
When Thor fell from 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 his aching forehead to wake himself up. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a huge steel furnace standing in front of him.
The "firewood" in the furnace was burning with a crackling sound.
Waves of heat came out from the furnace, almost burning Thor's skin.
"This is the fuel furnace." Ophelia's voice came from above her head, "This is the core of the Mechanical Heart, and it is also the energy supply core of the entire Sky City."
Thor raised his right hand, trying to block the heat waves coming from the furnace in front of him, but his eyes slowly widened after he saw the firewood in the furnace.
What was burning in the fuel path was actually a pile of black, carbon-like corpses! As they burned, the corpses also emitted vigorous spiritual power and magic power.
And even though the corpses had been burning in the fuel furnace for a long time, there was no sign of the firewood decreasing.
All of this indicates that what is burning in the fuel furnace is the corpse of a wizard! (End of this chapter)
