Chapter 3 Ingenuity
Three and a half hours later, Lister got off the train in Liverpool.
After all, it's not a high-speed train. Sitting up is too tiring for the waist. Liszt hasn't experienced this feeling in more than ten years, so he didn't immediately go to the Royal Academy of Machine Learning, which felt familiar to him, to check out the situation.
I found a hotel in Liverpool and checked in. After a good night's rest, I put on a coat that fit the style of this world and walked towards the Royal Academy of Artificial Intelligence like a London gentleman.
…
"This is the Royal Academy of Skills?" Liszt couldn't help but asked in astonishment as he looked at the Royal Academy of Skills, which looked like some kind of fortress, more than the academy, and the School of Skills guarding both sides of the gate.
"Isn't this a world where smart girls can't get pregnant?"
"No, it won't hurt!"
After all, before he was reincarnated into the world of Arad, he had been an otaku for a period of time. Although later due to work reasons, he enjoyed the 996 blessings and no longer had much time and energy to pursue new shows, but the ones he watched back then
He still has some impressions of those popular shows.
What's more, the clever girl was also very popular at the time, and various memes often appeared on the Internet and in chat groups. In order to keep up with the times, he did a lot of research on relevant information.
Therefore, even though he doesn't remember much about the plot of a world where clever girls cannot get hurt, he can still easily recognize the special magic that belongs to this world - clever devices.
"What a clever thing... Maybe Albero would be very interested in this kind of thing. Unfortunately, he is not in this world, and I don't know if the puppet-making technology I learned from him can be used as a clever trick in this world." Li Si
Te looked at the machine in front of him thoughtfully.
Albero, whose full name is Albero Afalia, is the deputy professional mentor of the Arad continent.
But that was after there was a problem in the heaven and all the residents were transferred. As for now, he is just a bard who likes to wander around.
Lister met Norton when he was studying alchemy and the making of a decomposition machine from Norton, and learned a lot about puppet making from him.
I didn't expect it to come into play here.
"I don't know if Lawrence has enough money to buy parts and magic materials." Thinking about this, Liszt turned around and left the Royal Academy of Artificial Intelligence and wandered around the city streets of Liverpool.
"However, even if Professor Albero's puppet can pretend to be clever and be recognized by magicians in this world, it seems that his image cannot enter the academy, right? After all, the academy targets outstanding magic talents under 20 years old and above 14 years old.
Not just any magician can enter and learn..."
So the problem returns to what Lister thought at the beginning——
Can this hint be lifted?
After all, he is a young boy pretending to be a middle-aged uncle. Although he does have thoughts about some older women because of his age, it does not mean that he has no thoughts about young and beautiful girls of the same age.
Therefore, even out of consideration for his future happiness, he still has to find a way to remove the suggestion effect.
When he thought of this, Liszt didn't even want to walk around the streets. He immediately returned to the hotel and looked for a way to turn off the hint.
It's okay, it's not very difficult. As long as he mentally turns off the suggestion effect, the Destiny Gold Coin will remove the suggestion magic exerted on him while retaining the disguise - the deception of the world, allowing him to use his true image.
to face the distractions of the outside world.
He had already tested this with the hotel staff - pretending to be a relative of Lawrence, and then asking the hotel staff who had met Lawrence before about Lawrence's whereabouts to see if the other party would recognize him as Lawrence, or as he thought.
Think of it that way, treat him as an ordinary person and you will see the effect.
Therefore, after determining the image problem, Liszt left the hotel again and went to Jiji Street - a place that specializes in selling machine materials, and searched for machine equipment suitable for making dolls.
…
"Do you sell any books on craft making here?" Liszt walked into a store called Home of Craftsmanship and asked the service staff behind the counter.
"I wonder which technique your guest is referring to?" the waiter asked.
"Magical ingenuity." Liszt replied.
"I'm sorry, guest, but books related to magic machine making are contraband. In addition to the collection in the Royal Library, only the Royal Machinery Academy can teach relevant knowledge. If the guest wants to learn machine making, I advise you to still
It is better to apply for the Royal Academy of Mechanics or other first-class dexterity academies." The waiter reminded tactfully.
"Really there are no relevant books at all? Even just the most basic parts?" Liszt asked unwillingly.
"We only have books about ordinary craftsmanship here. As for magic craftsmanship, there are not all of them. But as your guest said, most of the books about magic craftsmanship are just basic books, or even just scratch the surface of magic craftsmanship.
, even if the customer tore through the book, he may not be able to learn much knowledge about magic tricks from it. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
"Buy." Liszt responded without hesitation.
"Guest, please wait a moment. I'll go inside and take out the book for you."
Then, the waiter turned around and got in through the small door with a cloth curtain hanging behind the counter. It took a while before he came back with a dozen books in his arms.
"These are theoretical books involving knowledge of magic and ingenuity." The waiter picked out three or five books from the pile and placed them in front of Liszt and introduced them.
"What about the others?"
"They are all ordinary clever crafting books."
"Then do you sell magic cores here?" Liszt nodded and asked again while flipping through the books in his hands.
"Yes, guest, please show the purchase permit issued by the Magic Association."
"Huh? Do you still need permission?" Liszt stopped turning over and said in surprise.
"A core represents a magic trick, and a magic trick represents a potential threat and hidden danger. Therefore, if you want to buy a magic core to create a magic trick, the buyer must hold a special license issued by the Magic Association, otherwise you will sell and sell it without authorization.
It is illegal to buy magic cores," the waiter explained.
"Hiss...the management is really strict."
At this time, he missed the bag containing alchemy materials that he had left in the world of Arad more and more...
If I had the Eye of Darkness, I wouldn't need to spend money to buy the magic core. I would have already started to build a puppet version of the magic machine, and then I would find a way to get admission to the Royal Machinery Academy.
