I rely on myself

Chapter 743: Winning over allies
Listening to the students on the roadside discussing the situation of the Black Prince Edmund, Lin Yuan showed a happy smile at the corner of his mouth. Arthur, who was watching this scene, quickly reminded them.

"Hey, pay attention, Lin Yuan, you're smiling, stop it..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Unlike Arthur, Lin Yuan looked like he didn't care at all: "Everyone knows that it was you, Karna, and Xiang Yu who captured the Black Prince together. Even if someone really saw it, they would just think I was gloating over his misfortune, so it's okay."

Lin Yuan's words were well-reasoned, and Arthur could not refute them, but in the end he still advised cautiously: "Although this is the case, you should still be careful. After all, if you are not discovered, that would of course be the best.

But if something goes wrong, it won’t just be the British royal family that will cause trouble for us. I’m afraid other world powers will also cause trouble for us because they suspect we have information about the Absolute Kingship, so it’s better to be careful.”

"Okay, I promise you."

Although Arthur was a little too cautious, Lin Yuan did not deny the possibility. However, if he was to be really worried, it was almost nothing.

After all, the magic performed on Edmund was performed by Solomon, who was known for his wisdom. This was true even if it was only on a mechanical doll, a simulation of legends and information through magic circuits.

Lin Yuan was very confident about this and was not worried at all that anyone would discover it. As for Edmund himself breaking free from the control of magic, that was even more so. Before casting the spell, Solomon had observed Edmund closely.

Although Edmund was not without abilities, none of them included magical abilities, so he was naturally unable to escape the suggestion magic cast on him.

"As long as the suggestion magic on Edmund is not lifted, even if he can't see any advantage, he will act like a mad dog, regardless of the consequences. That will naturally attract the attention of the major powers of various countries, and both our side and our hometown will be much more relaxed."

It is precisely because of this that, although Lin Yuan is of great value, he is in the open after all. So although many people's eyes are on him, not many people take action immediately, because most of the attention is attracted by Edmund.

"Anyway, just be aware of it and don't let anything go wrong."

"It can't be turned over."

Although Lin Yuan is comparable to or even surpasses the teachers or professors in terms of knowledge, he is still a student after all, so he still has to go to school.

Apart from that, he was also idle. After all, apart from attending classes, he had no other good ways to kill time. He had basically reached a bottleneck in whatever he was researching. He could not make a breakthrough by working hard, or it would take a very long time, or he would just lack a little inspiration. So Lin Yuan was basically very idle during this period of time.

Soon, as time passed, the sky began to darken, and Lin Yuan, who had just finished class, was walking back to the dormitory. He thought that he would have nothing to do on the way, but suddenly a group of people on the road caught Lin Yuan's attention.

One of the people gathered together was a team led by Akabane Raijin, including his fiancée Tsuchimikado Hinawa, his two followers Kamo Subaru and Rokuren, and Charlotte Biraud.

Although the other party has only two people, their strength should not be underestimated. They are the brother and sister Loki and Frey.

Obviously, in order to deal with the increasingly intense night party, many people will seek allies, and this scene is exactly the case. Although Lin Yuan is very curious about how such a group of people with different purposes can unite together, he is not really interested in it, and it is also fun to leave some suspense to be solved at the night party.

With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan just took a curious look and stopped paying attention, continuing his way back to the dormitory.

On the other side, Raijin and the others naturally noticed the appearance of Lin Yuan, but seeing that the other party had no intention of getting closer, they naturally would not bore themselves. However, whether it was Raijin, Hiyori, Subaru and Rokuren, there was some malice in their eyes when they looked at Lin Yuan.

After all, no matter whether they can stand out from the night party and become the Demon King, they still have a common identity, that is, they are Japanese, and naturally understand their motherland's fear of the Qing Dynasty.

However, Lin Yuan, a Qing citizen, showed great talent in the field of ingenuity, and the opponent was so young. So no matter from which standpoint, they certainly had no good feelings towards Lin Yuan, and even wished he would die on the spot.

It's just a thought, whether it can be done is another question.

Lei Zhen was very clear about the gap between the two sides, so he quickly restrained himself and turned his attention back to the brother and sister in front of him.

"So what do you think of my proposal? To be honest, this is beneficial to both of us, isn't it? After all, as time goes by, the battles at the party will become more intense. Even if you two are confident in your own strength, you should also know that you are more or less inferior to those who are ranked higher."

"........."

In response to Lei Zhen's question, both Loki and Frey remained silent. How could they not understand? But they didn't have any good solution.

After all, after their adoptive father Bronson's crimes were exposed, although the two of them were freed, they also lost the support of their sponsors because of this.

Now, the two siblings even rely on their previous savings or part-time jobs to support their daily living expenses, let alone researching and upgrading their own dolls.

But even if they wanted to give up, their mechanical hearts were like time bombs. They might go out of control one day and completely drain their vitality.

It is precisely because they want to solve this problem that the two of them want to seize the throne of the Demon King, because only those who have obtained the title of Demon King can conduct research involving human experiments, otherwise it is illegal. Their adoptive father Bronson is the best example.

Therefore, they would never give up the position of Demon King no matter what.

Naturally, they were both tempted by Lei Zhen's invitation, but there was one thing they had to ask clearly.

"So? If there is a chance to obtain the position of Demon King, will you give it to us?" Loki, the younger brother among the siblings, stood up and asked Lei Zhen directly.

Lei Zhen smiled and replied, "That's impossible. Just like you, we also have people who want to get the position of Demon King. So we can't just give it to you. We can only fight for it ourselves. But at least this way the probability of successfully getting the position of Demon King is higher, isn't it?"
