I rely on myself

Chapter 167 Prophecy
Lin Yuan left the Walpurgis Royal School of Mechanical Engineering very smoothly and went to the city of Liverpool alone.

Because this academy has a rule that students are prohibited from taking their automatic dolls out of the academy. If they are discovered, the guards guarding around the academy have the right to shoot and destroy those dolls.

This is also one of the reasons why Lin Yuan left Arthur in the workshop. After all, he now has no means to take Arthur out of the academy without being noticed by the guards, so he left the academy alone.

The news of Lin Yuan's departure from the academy was quickly passed on by the guards to a clock tower. In a spacious office inside, sat an old man with a dark and strong appearance. This man was the highest person in charge and the dean of the Walpurgis Royal Mechanics Academy.

His name is Edward Rutherford, and he is known as the strongest magician of the 19th century. It is because of his existence that this academy has not been controlled by the British Empire and has a high degree of autonomy. This is why this academy can focus on the study of mechanical magic with the tacit consent of various countries.

At this moment, he was watching the information coming from the guard with a smile on his face, and spoke after watching it.

"It seems that our academy's genius has finally left his workshop. With his hard-working spirit, it's no wonder that he was able to create an automaton that reproduces the power of the British Knight King. Hehehehe."

From the tone of his words, it is easy to tell that Edward, as the dean of the college, is very optimistic about Lin Yuan, and the reason is very simple.

"It seems that you are very optimistic about him, Edward. You don't think that the divine machine will be born from this kid, do you?"

The person who said this was the one who had just walked into the office. He was a white-haired, skinny old man. He was the Minister of Medicine and Chief Professor of the Royal Academy of Mechanics. His name was Percival.

Hearing this, Edward replied directly: "I can't confirm who will create the divine machine, but the automaton he made can actually recreate the former and even legendary Knight King. Don't you think this skill is very close to the divine machine?"

Percival also agreed with what Edward said. After all, being the chief professor representative of this academy meant that he was very familiar with automatons, so he was well aware of the difficulty of this skill.

But even so——

"But even so, isn't this still the level of a divine machine? You know how many geniuses in this world have tried to create a divine machine, but failed in the end. Maybe he is one of them, isn't he?"

Hearing this, Edward also restrained the smile on his face. After thinking for a while, he said: "Perhaps you are right. Now is not the time to make a judgment early. But let us wait and see. When the time in the prophecy comes, we must hold the divine ingenuity in our hands!"

When he said "hold the divine power in your hands", Edward revealed an unquestionable and extremely resolute attitude.

Percival, who was standing by, did not show any surprise when he heard Edward's words, indicating that he had already known about the other party's pursuit of divine ingenuity.

As for the prophecy mentioned by Edward, it came from the godfather of the Magic Association, a being known as the "Old Man of Time". This prophecy describes that divine ingenuity will be born in the upcoming night party.

The full picture of its content is——

"On the night of the seven-seven doublings, when the six things sprout, man will speak for God. He is like a perfect jade. Authority will be overturned first, and foreigners will be allowed to come. Next, the shackles of domination will be removed, and the city will be bathed in the song of evolution. Then a meteor shower will fall, becoming a sign of the creation of the world. However, the Son of God will come to the world and sit on the throne of heaven. When the time comes, please see that the divine mechanism will be beside him. "

It is precisely because of the existence of this prophecy that this night party has received more attention.

While the dean Edward and the chief professor representative Percival were discussing the prophecy, Lin Yuan also came to an apartment building.

Lin Yuan walked to the door and knocked a few times, then stepped back and waited. Soon, he heard approaching footsteps from inside the house.

"despair!"

With the sound of the door opening, the door was opened, and a beautiful girl came into view. She had long golden hair tied in a high ponytail, green pupils, and a European appearance. She was dressed in a maid's outfit, which explained her identity. When the girl saw Lin Yuan, she smiled from the bottom of her heart and said, "Welcome back, Master Lin Yuan."

As she spoke, the girl made way for Lin Yuan and invited him into the house.

"Ah, I'm back, Virginie. Thank you for staying here to help watch over the place."

Lin Yuan responded and walked into the house without hesitation, and then Virginie closed the door.

In the center of the hall, there was a set of tables and chairs. Lin Yuan sat on one of the chairs and looked at the documents in his hand.

At this time, Virginie pushed over a dining cart with a set of tea sets, then she skillfully picked up the teapot and poured two-thirds of the black tea into one of the cups. Then she picked up the saucer under the cup and placed it in front of Lin Yuan together with the teacup, and spoke.

"Master Lin Yuan, please have some."

"Okay, thank you Virginie."

Lin Yuan picked up the black tea and took a sip, feeling the taste and aroma of the black tea filling his mouth.

After enjoying the black tea, Lin Yuan put down the teacup and praised: "Your skills have improved again, Virginie."

"Thank you very much for the compliment."

Virginie was very pleased with Lin Yuan's praise, and she also did not forget to refill Lin Yuan's tea.

Virginie Tyrell was originally just an ordinary country girl. Although her parents were farmers, she lived a decent life. But one day, disaster struck and a group of unidentified mercenaries suddenly attacked the village.

Except for Virginie and several other children from the same village who were specially spared, all other villagers were killed directly.

Later, Virginie found out that this group of mercenaries had been commissioned to find living people who could be used to make forbidden dolls, and Virginie and her other children were the target.

Virginie and her friends were sold to an underground workshop and locked up with a group of children who were bought for the same reason.

Seeing her companions being killed one by one and then made into parts, Virginie naturally couldn't accept this fact at the time and felt extremely desperate.

Just when Virginie thought that she would be killed and made into parts like her companions, a black figure rushed in and killed all the people and guards in the underground workshop.

Then the figure directly pulled off the iron bars that locked Virginie up, squatted down, and spoke to the curled-up Virginie in a gentle tone.

"It's okay, you're safe now."

At that moment, Virginie seemed to see the light.
