Liverpool.
This is a port city in northwest England. It is one of the eight core cities in England. It is also one of the five municipalities in the Metropolitan County on the Mersey. It is also the capital of Merseyside. It is located 325 kilometers northwest of London. Trains to London take just under three hours.
It is a famous commercial center in the UK and the second largest commercial port with a wide hinterland. A large amount of cotton produced in Manchester is shipped from this place to all over the world, making it not only the trading port that the British Empire boasts of, but It is also an academic city second only to Cambridge.
In this world, Liverpool has another name.
Smart city.
Even if you look at the whole world, this is the city with the most advanced technology.
Therefore, if you look down from above, you can see that in the city of Liverpool, there is an endless stream of pedestrians, and both shops and restaurants are very busy.
In addition to shoe stores, clothing stores, and jewelers, there are also stores selling mechanical parts, magic supplies, and finished automatons. You can even see simple tin dolls selling bread and snacks.
In other cities, this is a scene that is difficult to see.
Just above this prosperous and developed city, a crow seemed to be flying from the distant sky. While tearing the air with its broad wings, it turned at an acute angle and headed towards the city.
Even though the size of the crow is huge among all birds, during its flight, it will actually shed bursts of fire powder that is as bright as the sun, blending into the air, making it look so dazzling.
If you look closely, you can see that this crow actually has three legs. Even if you search all over the world, you can't find this kind of crow.
The three-legged Golden Crow flew towards the smart city of Liverpool, and finally fell straight down to the street. While spreading its wings, it stretched its three legs forward. After slowing down in the air, it turned over lightly and landed on the street. in front of a magnificent building.
In the next second, the three-legged golden crow turned into a cloak. With a flip, it turned into a young man.
The young man is wearing a gorgeous jet black coat. He is between fifteen or sixteen years old. His appearance has both Eastern temperament and Western sophistication. He looks like a mixed-race boy and is extremely handsome.
At this moment, the young man raised his head and looked at the magnificent building in front of him.
"Is this the rumored Royal Academy of Artificial Intelligence?"
The young man murmured like this.
Standing in front of it is a majestic lecture hall. At first glance, it may even make people mistake it for Buckingham Palace. The brick wall is five meters high, and the stone door has a bullet hole device. It's just that the gun holes don't seem to be used to defend against foreign enemies, but to shoot escapees. The evidence is that the guards' bright eyes are not looking at the street, but are all concentrated within the school grounds. Although the overall look is conservative and restrained, It was still full of momentum, almost like an army headquarters.
but...
"This is more of a prison than a college, right?"
The young man said this somewhat sarcastically.
But this is indeed the case.
Once inside, the automatic doll is not allowed to go out without permission, regardless of the students, otherwise the guards will have the right to execute the doll.
Therefore, it is understandable to say that it is a prison.
"It's just that, strictly speaking, it's still a college."
The young man curled his lips.
In the early 20th century, when magical civilization flourished, with the amazing development of science and technology, humans also established a high-level magic system.
〈Ingenuity and Magic〉.
This modern chanting method revolutionizes the concept of magic. Through the combination of an automaton with a built-in magic circuit and the puppet that controls it, it is possible to perform magic with speed, precision, and power that was unimaginable in the past. After being discovered and allowing magicians to perform magic easily without being constrained by troublesome magic circles and lengthy spells, it was also used for military purposes.
For example, in the United Kingdom, where Liverpool is located, whether it is the victory of the Battle of Trafalgar or the victory of the Battle of Waterloo, the contribution of the British ingenuity divisions that the United Kingdom is proud of is indispensable.
This makes it possible that not only the United Kingdom, but also the whole world is expanding its destructive weapons and the atmosphere of world war is extremely strong. The militaries of all the major powers are desperately trying to discover outstanding puppet users.
Under such circumstances, cultivating emerging puppet masters and educating outstanding talents will become a cause that the whole country strives to develop. It can be said to be a historical necessity.
The academy in front of me was created just for this purpose.
"Walpurgis Royal Academy of Artificial Intelligence".
This is the Royal Academy located in the smart city of Liverpool. Although it is located in the United Kingdom, it has the right of autonomy. It can admit outstanding talents from all over the world regardless of nationality, race, and gender. In today's era, It can be said that it is an advanced institution that stands at the forefront of sleight-of-hand technology and is also the palace of sleight-of-hand magic.
Talents from here are almost all over the world, and as long as they successfully graduate, they will at least be outstanding soldiers who can be reused by the military. Countries around the world value the advanced educational institutions and resources of this college, and have been continuously providing them. Students, let outstanding talents go to study here. Even if the tuition to study in this college is high, it is simply not enough for one family to support it. Unless it is a wealthy institution or even a country, it really cannot afford it, but there are still Many companies and countries spend huge sums of money to send talents here.
Now, the young man has also come here.
and...
"It's almost time for you to get off of me, right?"
The young man spoke coldly to a piece of luggage in his coat.
At this time, there was some movement in the boy's coat.
Specifically, there was a head poking out of the coat.
What peeked out from the boy's coat was the head of a girl with an overly delicate and beautiful face, and long straight black hair hanging down like a waterfall, which was enough to make people feel stunning.
However, at this moment, this overly beautiful girl wrapped herself tightly in the boy's coat and hugged the boy's body. She didn't mind the fact that her graceful and delicate body was pressed against his body. Instead, she was satisfied with it. His face was flushed, and he was looking at the boy with moist eyes.
"Are you here already? My dear~"
The girl said this in an extremely sweet tone.
But the young man was unusually indifferent.
"Who is your dear?"
The boy responded like this.
"Don't say that." The girl coyly pressed her body closer to the boy, seemingly happy and satisfied, and said, "Narukami's embrace is so comfortable and warm, Ye Ye is already dying. "
"Really?" The young man closed his eyes, and then said with a twitching mouth: "Then break it for me quickly, and don't touch my body with that hand!"
The boy who shouted like this slammed his fist and hit the girl on the head. The girl screamed in pain, covered her head, and squatted down with tears in her eyes.
The young man sighed.
"That's enough..."
This was the young man's only thought.
