I rely on myself

Chapter 186 Request
As the light in front of their eyes disappeared, Lin Yuan and the others opened their eyes and saw a row of workbenches with various tools placed on them. It was Lin Yuan's workshop in the Mechanical Academy.

Looking at the familiar environment, Arthur was the first to exclaim: "It's amazing. In just a blink of an eye, we were teleported back to the workshop from the suburbs several kilometers away. It's really amazing."

"Indeed." Karna agreed. "Although I am confident that I will not lose in terms of real strength, I cannot match his role in other aspects. He is indeed the Heroic Spirit Doll that my Lord spent the most effort to create."

What Arthur and Karna praised was the magician's puppet. Although it was an automatic puppet, it could perform a variety of magic tricks like a human magician, and it was even very fast. Whether it was the barrier used to conceal movement during battle, or the space transfer they had just experienced, these magic tricks were all performed by the magician's puppet.

The magician puppet did not change at all in response to the praise from the two seniors. It just accepted it calmly, as if it was used to it.

As for Lin Yuan, he was not surprised by this magical ability. After all, as the maker of the magician puppet, Lin Yuan was of course very clear about his approximate ability. Instead, what happened before the transmission made Lin Yuan more concerned.

"Did you find anything then?"

In response to Lin Yuan's question, the magician puppet directly spread out his palm, and a very small bird appeared in front of Lin Yuan. If you look closely, you can see that this bird is constructed by machinery. In other words -

"Automaton? It seems that our actions tonight have been watched for a long time. Can we find its automaton through this bird?"

When the magician puppet heard Lin Yuan's question, it did not answer immediately, but spoke after a long while.

"...No, the other party may also know that they can't recover this doll, so they simply disconnected. In this case, I can't find them either."

Hearing this, although Lin Yuan was a little disappointed, he was not surprised. After all, before the teleportation, the magician puppet directly grabbed the bird-shaped puppet in his hand. If a reverse investigation was conducted at the first time, perhaps some clues could be found.

But now quite a while has passed, and the other party must have disconnected early to avoid being detected.

"What should I do, my Lord?"

Seeing that Lin Yuan did not answer, the magician puppet couldn't help but ask. Even Arthur and Karna, who were standing aside, looked at Lin Yuan, waiting for him to express his thoughts.

After a while, Lin Yuan completely reviewed tonight's actions in his mind. There were no clues left, so he felt at ease.

"Don't worry. It doesn't matter even if someone finds out. Although I did go a little too far tonight, Bronson isn't a good person either. I've already made an anonymous report to the Magicians Association, so they should be cleaning up the mess now. We didn't leave any clues this time, so even if someone reports us, there's almost no evidence. So don't worry too much about it."

After listening to Lin Yuan's words, the three heroic spirit puppets thought about it and felt that it was true. Although it was not a good thing for this action to be observed by others, there was no need to worry too much. Moreover, if any unexpected situation really occurred, the three heroic spirit puppets were confident enough to protect Lin Yuan to break through, so there was no need to worry too much about this matter.

"That's about it. Just do what you need to do next. Don't worry too much about it."

Hearing this, Arthur and Karna no longer cared about the matter and walked aside to start their own things. The magician puppet simply placed the captured bird-shaped puppet on the workbench beside him and ignored it.

At this time, the magician puppet walked up to Lin Yuan and said, "Since the operation is over, according to the next plan, I will leave first, Lin Yuan." Listening to the magician puppet's words, Lin Yuan nodded in agreement and said, "Ah, okay, thank you for your hard work tonight. If it weren't for your help, tonight's operation would not have been so smooth, and we wouldn't have gained so many good things."

Indeed, just as Lin Yuan said, although the magician puppet did not kill the enemy head-on in this operation, it provided a lot of support, such as setting up a barrier before the battle began to prevent the noise generated during the battle from attracting other outsiders too early and causing trouble.

Then they quickly moved the children who were used as experimental subjects and the forbidden dog-shaped dolls of the "Gamu" series to prevent them from being affected by the battle. Finally, they also moved the production lines and related materials in the God's Workshop, allowing Lin Yuan to make a fortune.

It can be said that the magician puppet accounted for at least half of the credit for tonight's smooth operation.

After hearing that he could leave, the magician puppet was about to leave through space transfer magic, but suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

After a long silence, the magician puppet hesitantly said, "...I have a request."

Lin Yuan felt a little surprised when he heard his puppet suddenly make a request. At the same time, he could sense from the attitude of the magician puppet that this request should be very special, otherwise the other party would not be so hesitant.

"Tell me what your request is." Lin Yuan also became serious about this.

"...I would like to ask you to allow me to study how to reshape my body on my own."

Although hesitant, the magician puppet finally stated his request. After hearing this request, Lin Yuan became more serious, his face became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Ah, I know." Perhaps because it was said out loud, the magician puppet no longer hesitated: "I know you may not agree, but I still want to ask."

"why?"

"Because I want to feel alive again."

Hearing this answer, Lin Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling both surprised and natural.

The magician puppet did not notice Lin Yuan's expression and continued, "That's not quite right, but anyway, that's probably the idea. Although I know that I'm just a virtual spirit created through ＜Heroic Spirit Summoning＞ and I'm not a real existence, but perhaps it's because of this that I'm so eager to live, to truly live."
