Her name was Ona, Ophelia's attendant official responsible for internal affairs of Sky City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Saul's view, she was like Steward Hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahead is Sky City's most beautiful scenery—Flower Sea Street.\" Ona didn't seem in a hurry to bring Saul before Ophelia, but instead acted like a tour guide, introducing Sky City's layout and scenery to Saul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul looked out through the flying carriage window and saw the sea of flowers he had previously observed from the airship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the most numerous plant in the city—whisper flowers. Actually, we mainly cultivate them to reinforce the soil and preserve moisture.\" Ona really did introduce them like a proper guide. \"By the way, from here on, you basically won't see ordinary people. The minimum requirement for working here is second-level apprentice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to match the dreamlike beauty of the whisper flowers, the buildings here were also very exquisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets were mostly filled with two or three-story small buildings. Almost every building had magical formations inscribed on their rooftops and walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren't many pedestrians on the streets, and those present walked hurriedly. Many people had flower petals stuck to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly due to haste, no one bothered brushing off the petals on their bodies. These passersby also seemed to blend with the surrounding sea of flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the left front of the flying carriage, a window on the second floor happened to be pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blond-haired, pale-faced youth leaned out, seemingly admiring the beautiful scenery outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Saul saw him push out a... corpse from inside the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse's head and limbs were already incomplete, seemingly gnawed by some creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it fell from the second-floor window, large amounts of blood splattered on the pink and white walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse fell onto the street soil covered with flower petals, splashing up countless broken petals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the petals fell again, they buried the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the instant the flying carriage sped past, that corpse suddenly disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the bloodstains on the wall could prove that everything just witnessed wasn't an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ona sat beside Saul and also saw the body-dumping scene, but her expression and demeanor showed no change whatsoever. As if what the blond youth had thrown out wasn't a corpse, but a handful of wildflowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Saul chuckled inwardly. \"This place is indeed still the wizard world, not a paradise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying carriage continued forward. The sea of flowers gradually disappeared, and the exquisite scenic buildings became proper rows of high-rises and small squares with different functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Academy of Knowledge, and over there is the Academy of Practice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Academy of Knowledge had no scenery—most people stayed inside buildings. Occasionally someone would read in the square, looking very studious and hardworking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the flying carriage passed the Academy of Practice, Saul discovered the small squares here were much livelier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards in one small square seemed to be conducting some experiment. The experiment happened to fail, and a wizard apprentice assisting nearby had his upper body blown to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Large amounts of blood mixed with flesh sprayed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wizard who was unharmed looked at his notes for review, only caring about why the experiment had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a few minutes, Saul had witnessed two fatal accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whether at the accident sites or in this flying carriage, no one made a big fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the pink flower petals seemed disturbed, spinning in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul opened the car window and reached out to catch a petal. \"These whisper flower petals aren't dyed with human blood, are they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ona covered her mouth in surprise, her words carrying some playfulness. \"Don't joke, human blood stinks terribly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying carriage passed through the Academy of Practice and Academy of Knowledge, crossed densely packed residential areas and a ring of flower seas, finally arriving at Sky City's tallest building—a light blue castle that could blend with the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ona smiled with pride in her eyes. \"That's the White Glass Palace where the City Lord resides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying carriage slowly landed on an open-air platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three people stood at the platform's edge—two men and one woman—discussing something intently and heatedly, seemingly completely unaware of the carriage's landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men wore ordinary black wizard robes, while the woman wore a sea-blue gown with half her long hair pinned up and the rest draped over her shoulders and chest. Even her skin was glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing there, she was both prominent and dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the flying carriage stopped, Ona jumped out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul saw her walk directly over and curtsy to the woman in the blue gown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"City Lord, I've brought Lord Saul here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That woman was actually Ophelia?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't waiting for me here, was she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul barely sensed any magical fluctuations from her. Except for her outstanding appearance, she seemed like an ordinary person everywhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ona's words, Ophelia stopped discussing and turned to look over, nodding slightly at Saul, then said to Ona, \"Please have Lord Saul meet me in the main hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ona curtsied again, then returned without having Saul go forward to greet Ophelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul was somewhat puzzled, then heard Ona say, \"Please follow me to the main hall to meet the City Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Ona walked ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul followed, took two steps, then looked back at Ophelia who was still standing at the platform edge talking with the two male wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe she'll go to the main hall after finishing her conversation?\" Saul turned back to continue following Ona. \"Looks like I'll have to wait a while. Maybe I can let Pei'er and Nerela out—since Ophelia can sense me coming to the island, she should also be able to discover her sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Saul had barely walked ten meters when he encountered Ophelia again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, this Ophelia in the blue gown was walking and discussing something with another wizard—different from the previous two male wizards—holding several snow-white manuscript pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was peaceful yet focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ona was less than three meters from Ophelia, she curtsied again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"City Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time Ophelia didn't even nod at her, walking past Ona and Saul as if she had seen nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul's gaze followed Ophelia as she brushed past him, gradually turning his head until he saw her also walk to the platform area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, two identical Ophelias stood left and right on the platform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet neither Ona nor the wizards conversing with the two Ophelias showed any doubt about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this clone magic?\" Saul couldn't help asking Ona beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord Saul.\" Ona smiled and nodded. \"The City Lord always says time is limited but knowledge is infinite. If possible, she hopes to transform into thousands to pursue more knowledge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saul couldn't help but sigh. \"Creating clones isn't difficult, and splitting souls is just a bit painful, but splitting souls while also dividing out partially independent consciousness that can think... Lady Ophelia is truly amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly thought of Pei'er in the diary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, she was also consciousness actively split off by the wind sprite Pei'er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two sisters both liked self-division!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1284,"2026-06-05T22:22:30.047Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a7a98ebea6710ef6b9bd0c14836c9d61d1d0e4f94b951ada80fc3ed191939ae","diary-of-a-dead-wizard-chapter-757","diary-of-a-dead-wizard-chapter-755",1037,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdiary-of-a-dead-wizard-cover.jpg"]
