I rely on myself

Chapter 784 The rest of the collision

"...Compared to that, I'm more curious about where the academy's top brass, the dean, are now. After all, in previous incidents, no matter what the situation was, that old guy Edward would always act with the academy's safety as a prerequisite. But this time, for such a big event, he didn't show up at all. This is not in line with his style."

Compared to supporting others, Lin Yuan was obviously more interested in what the college leaders were doing at the moment. When Arthur heard this, he thought about it for a while and spoke hesitantly.

"Could it be that they were captured by the witch before we arrived? After all, although the witch looks very arrogant, judging from her performance, she is not too arrogant. Since she dared to attack this academy, she must have anticipated a conflict with the dean, so it is not surprising that she prepared countermeasures and captured them."

"This is indeed a possibility. I have thought of it, but it has been disproven."

Of course, Lin Yuan had thought about the possibility raised by Arthur and gave a very affirmative rejection. Arthur was naturally very curious about this and didn't understand why Lin Yuan rejected this possibility so affirmatively.

Lin Yuan naturally did not hide this and explained directly: "Before coming here, I had the same idea as you, but after meeting that witch, I am very sure that she did not take down the college leaders. There are two reasons. One of them is her mood when we met with Astrid."

"mood?"

Recalling the situation at that time, Arthur did not think of anything strange. Lin Yuan did not stop explaining and continued, "Astrid was a little too happy when she saw us. This is very strange. Even if I am one of her targets, it should be the first time she saw me. When she was not completely sure that my ability was as rumored, she was obviously too excited. The only explanation should be that one of her targets just failed, so she was so overly excited when she saw me. This is my guess."

"........."

Although it makes some sense, it always feels a bit far-fetched. This was Arthur's first thought after hearing it. Lin Yuan seemed to know the same thing, so he immediately gave the second reason.

"The second is that the academy residence is too clean and tidy."

'Clean and tidy?'

Hearing these two words, Arthur and Karna subconsciously looked around, and saw that after a fierce battle, the ground around the academy mansion was turned upside down, with holes of all sizes everywhere. At the same time, because of the miasma released by Astrid, the only green thing, the grass on the lawn, was all withered and blackened. Such a scene had absolutely nothing to do with the words clean and tidy.

"No need to look. I mean, when we first arrived, I made a special observation. The surrounding lawns were very tidy, and so was the dean's office. Even the surrounding objects were neatly arranged. It was clear at a glance that no battle had taken place. This means that although the witch arrived before us, she did not find the dean.
After all, I believe you should also know that with the strength of that old fox, even if Astrid had prepared in advance, it would be impossible to take him down without leaving any traces, so if nothing unexpected happens, Edward and other college leaders are fine, they are just hiding. "

"...But, in this case, we don't know where the senior management of the academy is. Where should we find them?"

"Underground, the Temple of Fools!"

Arthur asked again, but this time it was Karna who answered. Karna reminded him and Arthur reacted instantly. "Yes, the Sanctuary of Fools! Under the current circumstances, that is the most likely place for the academy's top leaders to hide."

"And if nothing unexpected happens, we'll be able to see other interesting things, so let's go."

After saying some thought-provoking words at the end, Lin Yuan turned around and planned to go to the Temple of Fools to find out what was going on. Seeing this, Arthur and Karna, although they still had other doubts, hurried to follow him.

While Lin Yuan was planning to see what the college's top management was planning to do, other places in the college began to fight back as he said.

Back to when Lin Yuan and Astrid had just started fighting, Charlotte Biraud and her automaton Sigmund were approached by someone they were unaware of.

Looking at the young lady in front of her with beautiful honey-colored blonde hair and brilliant beauty, Charlotte naturally recognized this student representative, Olga Saladin, also known as 'Golden Olga'.

After all, as a member pursuing the throne of Demon King, Charlotte knew something about the people who ranked before her, but what surprised her most was the other party's automatic doll, which was a dragon-shaped doll similar to Sigmund except that it was red in color.

Before Charlotte could ask, the red dragon puppet spoke first, but it was talking to Sigmund: "Hey, long time no see! Sigmund, it's been a long time since we last met, right?"

"Ah, yes, I didn't expect to see you here, Thor."

Sigmund's words indirectly answered a question in Charlotte's heart. The dragon-shaped doll in front of her with the same appearance as Sigmund was exactly the same model as him.

When Charlotte inherited Sigmund, she learned about his origins and knew that he was actually one of the "Magic Sword" series of mechanical dolls. In addition to Sigmund, there were six other mechanical dolls of the same model.

But she really didn't expect to meet him in such a situation.

Back to the point, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Sigmund asked directly, "...Let's stop chatting here. Although I expected this, let me confirm, Thor, are you and your puppeteer blocking here to fight us?"

"Haha, since you've already guessed it, what else do you have to say? After all, we are just automatons. Since the master has decided to fight, we have no choice but to fight, right? And have you forgotten what the Dragon King once said? Although our Demon Swords are invincible, when two invincible swords clash, one of them will break."

Thor burst into laughter after he finished speaking, and Sigmund's face froze for a moment. After all, even saying such words meant that a battle was inevitable.
