I rely on myself

Chapter 335 Hidden Threat

On the streets of the mechanical city of Liverpool, a large number of automatic dolls are converging from different roads. In a blink of an eye, they have formed a huge army and are advancing towards the Royal Academy of Mechanical Engineering.

Although they did not have any uniform steps, but just moved forward simply and silently, their huge number and their iron bodies that reflected the cold light in the sunlight were enough to bring a strong sense of oppression to people.

At least, ordinary people facing this kind of military force would lose their minds in an instant and fall to the ground, unable to move.

At this moment, at the entrance of the academy, four figures were walking out directly from the gate. They were Lin Yuan and his three heroic dolls, Arthur, Karna, and Xiang Yu.

Looking at the huge army in front of them, the four of them were very calm, and even seemed eager to try.

"Haha, that's great. Looks like we can do something big today. Give the order, Lin Yuan."

A chuckle was heard, and Xiang Yu, who was somewhat impatient, spoke first. Although the other two did not speak, they also looked at Lin Yuan, indicating that they could not wait to go into battle.

Lin Yuan had no intention of stopping them, but instead said, "Xiang Yu, Arthur, and Karna."

"Here!" x3
"Can you show me what a so-called 10,000-man enemy looks like?"

"no problem!!"

Following this loud response, three figures suddenly jumped up, turned into a storm, and rushed towards the huge mechanical army.

At this time, in an open space in the college, a group of professors kept moving instruments to form a huge screen, projecting the situation in the mechanical city.

Those instruments were composed of numerous magical tools, and they contained only one type of magic circuit - "Far View".

As the name suggests, this is a magic trick that can capture distant scenes and perform them here.

Under the instructions of the dean, the professors in the college moved these instruments over and formed a large screen to project the conditions in the smart city.

"Quick, adjust the equipment quickly. We need to know the exact situation of the city outside as soon as possible!"

After a busy moment, the screen showed a scene of the street in front of the academy gate. A mechanical army composed of a large number of automatic dolls appeared at this time and approached the academy.

"Is that an army of runaway puppets?"

"Oh no! It looks like they are preparing to attack the academy now."

"What should we do? Should we send out guards to meet the enemy?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you sending out guards? Are you sending people or automatons? If you send people, they will be no match for you. If you send automatons, they will be controlled by their magic and will be useless!"

"Okay, stop arguing and think of other solutions!"

The people at the scene were in chaos. Although many people actively expressed their opinions, it was obvious that they were of no use to the current situation and were just making a fuss.

The dean who saw this scene had no intention of stopping it. Instead, he stared at the picture on the screen.

At this time, an old man's voice sounded. "Aren't you going to do anything? Isn't it a bit too noisy to let them quarrel like this?"

The person who said this was Percival, the chief professor representative and one of the dean's confidants.

"And since you didn't bring Professor Io back with you, why? Did you fail?"

After saying this, Percival shook his head, thinking that he was a little confused. After all, the man in front of him was the most powerful magician of the 19th century, so how could he fail?

In response to Percival's inquiry, the dean did not hide anything and directly told him the entire deal proposed by Lin Yuan.

Hearing this unexpected answer, Percival couldn't help but frowned, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Is this a good idea? You know, because of this rebellion, the already delicate relationship between our college and the British government is now becoming more and more shaky. Although we explain that we have nothing to do with this rebellion, whether the other party believes it or not is another matter."

"If the British government is going to tear its face off and try to forcibly intervene in the management of our college, let alone the night party, even your research may not be able to proceed. So it's better to keep Professor Io in our hands first."

Percival gave a sincere suggestion. In fact, the dean himself secretly agreed with this suggestion. After all, doing so was indeed the safest way. However——

"The premise is that <Legend Reappearance> did not intervene in this matter. I did intend to act as you said at the beginning, but unfortunately because of Lin Yuan's intervention, I suddenly changed my goal."

"But it doesn't matter, right? After all, the reason we arrested Professor Io was just to distance ourselves from the rebellion. It doesn't solve the problem at all. If Lin Yuan could arrest the Black Prince Edmund directly, that would be even better for us, right?"

Hearing what the dean said, Percival agreed, but was it really that easy? He expressed his doubts.

"Don't you believe it? That's right. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't believe it either!"

While saying this, the dean closed his eyes and recalled the time when Lin Yuan proposed a deal to him. At that time, he felt something strange.

That was what came from Lin Yuan. The dean at that time suddenly had a thought in his mind for no reason, that is, he must agree to him. There was no sign or basis, he just suddenly had such a thought.

Why? The dean was also very confused at the time, and even suspected that he was affected by some means used by Lin Yuan, but after secretly and repeatedly checking his body, the dean was able to confirm that there was nothing wrong with him at the time.

So why does this idea arise?

In order to solve this doubt, the dean began to look at Lin Yuan carefully, wanting to find out the truth, but it was this investigation that made him see some secrets of Lin Yuan.

The dean felt threatened by Lin Yuan, and it was a fatal threat.

As long as the dean concentrates, he can feel his intuition reminding him subconsciously.

"Stop! You are not allowed to explore further! !"

How long has it been since I felt such a strong sense of threat? Ever since I was given the title of the strongest magician of the 19th century, how long has it been since I felt my life was threatened?

The dean didn't know, so he just subconsciously agreed to Lin Yuan's deal, and subconsciously watched Lin Yuan take Yio away without any attempt to stop him.
