Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 125
After Li Lin talked with Kassadin, the control arranged for Storm and Chenguang to enter standby mode.

Then, as soon as they entered the tavern, they heard Cassiopeia's warm greeting: "Come on, Mr. Li, I'll be waiting for you."

At a small round table in the corner, both Cassiopeia and Sivir held a glass of cold beer.

"Hey, what a hypocritical woman, it makes me sick." Kassadin muttered behind Li Lin, "I don't want to deal with such a Noxian. I'm going to the bar."

He pointed to the tavern owner, and after seeking Li Lin's consent, he walked over on his own.

Afterwards, Li Lin maintained a polite smile, walked up to the two ladies and sat down.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Cassiopeia raised the wooden wine glass in her hand, pointed to the beer in front of Li Lin with her eyes, and said with a light smile: "So those who are late will have to punish themselves with a drink~~"

Li Lin turned on [Data Thinking], and checked the properties of the beer with ice cubes in front of him calmly.

A normal glass of beer with no special "additions".

"Okay, then I'll punish myself with a drink." He laughed, raised his glass and drank it down.

In an instant, the ice-cold refreshment rushed straight to his head, dispelling his mental exhaustion and the thirst brought to his throat by the hot summer.

"Excellent!" Cassiopeia exclaimed.

She clinked wine glasses with Sivir, and together they poured down the beer in their hands.

After drinking a glass of wine, the three of them gradually became acquainted.

Cassiopeia introduced Sivir to Li Lin, the head of Zhai Haro's mercenary group, and told her various legendary stories.

Li Lin also introduced his identity as an outstanding craftsman of the Gilaman family to the two, and also told the origin of the power armor on his body and the storm robot outside.

Of course, many details were hidden by him.

Like the fact that he actually fled to Piltover to escape the war.

The du Caucao family was also the main force in advocating the Noxus invasion.

Although their main target is not Ionia, but Shurima.

But in order to avoid trouble, Li Lin is still not prepared to involve in war matters.

"I never expected that Mr. Li would have such outstanding achievements in the field of Hex technology."

A look of admiration appeared on Cassiopeia's exquisite face, she covered her mouth with her hands and said in surprise.

"Just call me Li Lin, Miss Du Kecao." Li Lin held up the cold beer that had just been filled by the boss and took a sip. "Speaking of which, you are still the first person to call me by my last name."

"After all, I am a descendant of a nobleman, and I need to know something about the culture of each country."

Cassiopeia giggled, "Don't call me Miss Du Kecao, it sounds too raw, you can call me Cassiopeia or Opia."

Her light brown eyes were bent into crescent moons, and there was a provocative feeling in her words, which made Li Lin and Sivir shudder at the same time.

What a disgusting woman.

Sivir, who basically didn't interrupt much, glanced at Cassiopeia lightly, and suffocated the beer in his glass.

Can you please stop talking to me in such a whiny tone...

Li Lin couldn't arouse the slightest interest in this beautiful woman who deliberately seduced him.

The snake-hearted Cassiopeia, who was cursed by the emperor's tomb and turned into a half-human, half-snake monster, is really suitable for you.

He slandered in his heart, but still kept a polite smile on his face, "Then I'll call you Cassiopeia."

Under the leadership of Cassiopeia, the two chatted a lot about Piltover.

From astronomy to geography, it even involves the field of Hex technology.

Li Lin couldn't help but be amazed at the knowledge reserve of the second lady of the Du Kecao family.

Fortunately, I have the blessing of [data-based thinking] and have read many books, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to talk to this noble girl.

Moreover, Cassiopeia speaks very well, always inadvertently inquiring about Li Lin's power armor, especially the floating robots Storm and Morning Light.

However, Li Lin, who has also been in the circle of high society aristocrats for a long time, will not be fooled by such ordinary tricks.

He would always prevaricate with various other topics, without mentioning these inventions at all.

This man is really hard to deal with...

Cassiopeia kept smiling on the surface, but her heart sank.

This was the first time she had seen a man like Li Lin who didn't covet her beauty at all.

Like when I accepted the task of "Black Rose" in the past, when I dealt with noble men from Noxus and Shurima in Uzeris, I could fly their souls away by hooking my fingers...

Seeing that the way of using beauty and stereotypes would not work, Cassiopeia immediately changed her mind.

"By the way, Li Lin, you have so many craftsmen in Nashilami this time, are you planning to do something big?"

As if afraid that Li Lin might misunderstand something, Cassiopeia immediately added: "Of course, I'm just curious... If it's confidential, it's okay not to say it."

Hearing her question, Sivir, who had been drinking beside the two of them, had a gleam in his eyes, and he pricked up his ears and listened seriously.

"It's not a secret, it's a new technology of Piltover."

Anyway, those congressmen are also planning to build the Hex-flying gate there after Noxus stabilizes, and the construction of Nashilami is about to start, so we can't hide this matter.

But that's just one of the reasons...

After thinking for a moment, Li Lin simply introduced them:
"The artisans of our Gilaman family have recently developed a device that can be used for ultra-long-distance teleportation, and can travel thousands of kilometers in just a few tens of seconds.

"The name of this mechanical device is 'Hexgate'. We are here to discuss with Governor Saga where to build it."

Hexgate?
Ultra-long-distance teleportation? !

Isn't this what magic can do?
Cassiopeia and Sivir's eyes flashed with astonishment at the same time, thinking that Li Lin was bragging.

But when they noticed the serious expression of the young craftsman, they realized that his statement might not be a lie.

Li Lin could not help but twitch his mouth slightly when he saw the shock in their hearts.

"At that time, Hexgates will be built in Shurima, Noxus, Demacia, Bilgewater, and Ionia, and the economic circulation and trade speed between all city-states will be greatly improved! "

Then whoever wants to use it will have to pay you a lot of taxes and fees, right?
Cassiopeia was very solemn in her heart.

Since the Myrdalda family in Piltover participated in the research of this hex technology, even if Noxus introduces this technology later, it will not be the Du Kecao family's turn to participate.

After all, Myrdalda still has a branch family in Noxus, the family controlled by that old woman...

Gotta figure out a way to pry the so-called "Hexgate" technology out of this guy.

Thinking of this, Cassiopeia's gaze returned to Li Lin, with an even bigger smile on her face.

However, Sivir had another idea in mind:

If Nashramy can really build such a device, then there will be more and more people from all over the world who come to explore Shurima.

At that time, I have to think about how to expand the business of the mercenary group. Wouldn't it be possible to earn more gold coins...

Sivir's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Lin with various emotions mixed in.

You have to establish a good relationship with this guy. If you can win his favor, you don't have to worry about it in the future.

Feeling the hot eyes of the two, Li Lin just kept smiling and drank his beer silently.

What Cassiopeia and Sivir are planning in their hearts can be guessed by Li Lin who knows their backgrounds and personalities well.

Of course, the reason why he revealed the "Hexgate" to the two of them in advance is naturally his own idea.

The first is to use this technology to lure Cassiopeia, so that she will later promise herself and Kassadin to walk with them.

Secondly, Li Lin wants to use this to build a good relationship with Sivir, a member of the royal family who has the blood of Azir, the last emperor of the Shurima Empire.

After Azir was revived and became a god warrior again, the relationship with Sivir was the key to his communication with this aloof emperor.

There was enough time for the two of them to think about it, and Li Lin began to take the lead in the topic, deliberately insinuating their plans.

"Although the heads of the various families in Piltover believe that the Governor Saga of Naslami is capable of protecting our property, the level of security here is not as good as that of Piltover...

Li Lin's gaze lingered on Sivir intentionally or unintentionally, without hiding his intentions.

"If possible, can I ask Captain Sivir to send someone to protect our craftsmen? Of course, money is not an issue."

"...This?" Sivir looked a little embarrassed, and looked at Cassiopeia.

Her mercenaries are limited, only a few dozen people.

Most of them parted ways with the Zahalo mercenary group as early as when she left the original leader, Aha Zahalo, in the middle of the desert to die.

This time, Cassiopeia hired more than 20 of them, almost their main force.

As for the remaining manpower, it is no longer enough to provide protection work for Li Lin's artisans.

"Unfortunately, Captain Sivir has been hired by us." Cassiopeia had an apologetic expression on her face.

She looked Li Lin up and down, then glanced at Kassadin sitting at the bar, and asked in a curious tone:

"I think you have this kind of armor and the floating robot outside, which is more than enough to protect the craftsmen, right?"

After waiting for you for so long, you finally took the bait and asked this question.

"I have other things." Li Lin suppressed his smile and pointed to Kassadin. "I want to go south with my friend and go back to his hometown. I have to take those mechanical devices away."

Let Li Lin build a similar power armor, and let him go back to his hometown together, presumably their relationship is very good...

Cassiopeia thought about it in her heart, and immediately asked: "Going south? I wonder where his hometown is? We may drop by, and it will be a blessing to walk together when the time comes."

Sivir glanced at the noble lady, raised her eyebrows slightly, and was surprised by her choice.

But Cassiopeia is an employer after all, so how many people she wants to add to the expedition is her business, and she has no control over it.

Sivir shook her head and continued drinking in silence.

"That's really great. I'm worried that I have no other choice but Captain Sivir's mercenary group."

Li Lin raised a beer to Cassiopeia, and then told her his itinerary.

Cassiopeia was very happy to hear that their routes for the first half of the journey basically overlapped, "Just in time, we can escort you to the ruins of the City of the Sun."

She beckoned to the boss to refill the three glasses, then raised the glass to touch the two of them lightly, "Then... happy cooperation?"

Li Lin's brown-black pupils flashed across their faces, and he said with a light smile, "It's a happy cooperation, and I will take care of you for the rest of the journey..."
