Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 172 Kaisha loves to eat peaches
After solving the incident in the Valley of Songs, the group headed to Zrimar in the west from the valley.

Nasus originally wanted to take Sivir back to the City of the Sun, but she refused directly.

The tailor-made power armor has not yet arrived, how could she leave?

In desperation, due to Azir's order and the duty to protect the royal blood, Nasus acted as the bodyguard of the group.

On the mountain path to Zrimar, Kassadin always thought about healing Kai'Sa and heading to Icathia.

When Li Lin asked about the reason, he said that he wanted to find Malzaha to avenge his dead wife and daughter who had been sinned for three years.

At that time, Li Lin was startled, and finally understood why Malzaha had been active in Shurima in the original world line, and even developed the Void Order to the outskirts of Nashilam, preparing to let the Void swallow this port.

But Kassadin stayed alone in Icacia, not even knowing that he had become the daughter of the "Daughter of the Void" legend in Shurima.

The big brother of feelings has always felt that this Void Prophet has never been out of Icacia...

It wasn't until Li Lin told Malzahar that he had been active in Shurima that he came back to his senses in a daze, knowing that he had been looking in the wrong direction.

If it wasn't for Li Lin, he wouldn't even be able to see his daughter Kaisha.

Unknowingly, Li Lin's status in the minds of Kassadin and Kai'Sa rose again, almost reaching the peak.

After dozens of days of traveling on foot, they finally arrived at Zrimar, a small town composed of various settlements.

This is the gathering place for caravans and explorers to rest before entering the desert, and occasionally some travelers and nomads rest here.

After Li Lin and his party stepped into this town, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Because of the power armor of Li Lin and Kassadin, and the 14 storm robots that look like an army.

The void living skin on Kai'Sa's body is not so obtrusive, and it is also regarded as Hex technology by people.

Among them, especially Nasus, most of the people in the desert grew up listening to his stories, and almost no one didn't know him.

After the battle with Xerath and the meeting with the ascended Azir, Nasus has regained his responsibilities as a warrior of the gods and a grand maester of the empire.

Welcomed by the current ruler of Zerima, Weina Bonso, Li Lin, Kassadin, and Kai'Sa had the honor to bathe in the glory of the royal family and live together in Weina's luxurious residence.

By the way, Nasus wants to discuss with the ruler to return Zrimar to the control of the City of the Sun.

If Weiner is willing to cooperate, he can serve as the governor of the Shurima Empire and guard this area for the empire.

If you don't cooperate...

According to Nasus's thinking, there are still many people who are willing to show their loyalty to the Eagle King, and he is not the only one.

Time was getting late, and the afterglow of the setting sun swayed the earth.

In the room, Li Lin took a comfortable bath and ate some delicacies brought by the servants.

Afterwards, he changed into simple clothes and prepared to take a good stroll in the city.

As soon as he went out, he just ran into Kai'Sa who also came out of his room, as if looking for something.

Her dark purple hair was wet, and her face was not as dusty as before when she was underground, and she looked much fairer.

Due to the influence of the void, the armor on her body could not be receded, so she could only wash her hair and face.

Seeing Li Lin, Kaisha had a happy smile on her face, "Li Lin~~"

During this period of time, she laughed more times than in the past three years combined.

"Are you going to find your father?" Li Lin walked to her side, "He's in that room."

Li Lin pointed to the diagonally opposite Kaisha, which was a few meters away from her room.

There are more than a dozen exquisite and luxuriously decorated small rooms in this side house, which were used by Weina, the ruler of Zrima, to entertain distinguished guests.

The rooms of Li Lin, Kassadin, Kasha, and Sivir are next to each other.

But at this time, Sivir should have washed and changed long ago, and went to a tavern to drink.

"Thank you, but father has worked so hard these days, he should take a good rest."

A fleeting look of loneliness flashed across Kai'Sa's face.

In only three years, her father seemed to be aging like a teenager, which made her feel very distressed.

She was silent for two or three seconds, and the smile resumed on the corner of her mouth, "Do you want to go out for a stroll? I haven't been around the city for a long time."

"Of course, I happen to have this idea too."

In order to take care of Kaisha, Li Lin went back to the room and put on the power armor again, lest her purple-black living skin be gossiped by others.

After explaining to the servant guarding the stairs, the two of them walked out of Weiner's mansion and entered the still noisy town.

Unlike Zurita, Zrima's citizens are merchants or explorers, and most of them stop here temporarily.

Therefore, most shops will close their doors very late, trying to sell the goods they have on hand quickly, and then go to other places to purchase goods.

Li Lin and Kasha walked side by side, admiring the customs of this city-state, and bought a lot of local snacks.

Of course, Li Lin had already eaten dinner, and most of the food went into Kai'Sa's belly, which seemed to be a bottomless pit.

Skin Armor's living weapon consumes a lot of energy, and basically all the food she eats will be converted into energy without leaving any residue.

So no matter how you eat Kaisha, you will basically not feel full and will not gain weight.

Unless she first absorbs a void core to fill her body with energy, she will feel full.

The two of them walked another two blocks and came to the commercial street where the Piltover caravan was.

Thanks to the Hextech Refrigerator, Piltover merchants can sell fresh fruits and vegetables in Shurima.

Of course, for most Shurimans, these fresh fruits and vegetables are luxury goods and expensive.

When they came to a stall, Kaisha, who was eating kebabs, stopped, and a gleam of light flashed in her moist purple eyes.

"Hey, this beautiful little girl, do you want a delicious and juicy peach? This is a fruit preserved at low temperature, so sweet."

Kai'Sa's throat twitched subconsciously, and she looked eagerly at Li Lin beside her.

"Water and shade, sir... or madam?" the vendor greeted cautiously.

"It's sir." Li Lin controlled the power armor and unfolded the mask, "I'll give you water and shade."

Seeing that Li Lin was still kind, the peddler immediately got close:

"You must be from Piltover, right? I've seen the same Hex armor as yours on the street for two months!"

Li Lin smiled and didn't expose his little lie.

He has only built special power armor for himself and Kassadin so far, and they arrived in Shurima two months ago.

As for the elite law enforcement officers guarding Piltover, the armor he made for them that can be equipped with energy crystals is very different from his own.

Li Lin picked up a barely passable peach from the stall and looked at it, "How much is the peach?"

"One peach, 10 silver sand..." The vendor quoted an astonishing price.

Seemingly seeing the astonishment flashing across Kai'Sa's face, he immediately explained:
"The price is actually not expensive at all, sir, but we are going to pick the fruit from Kumanggra in Kumangu, then keep it fresh with a Hex refrigerator, and send it all the way south to here.

"Here, in addition to the labor costs for picking peaches, it also costs a lot of money to hire mercenary bodyguards to escort us along the way, not to mention that these hex devices require hex cube batteries.

"In Piltover, a battery costs 5 silver wheels, and if it is converted into silver sand, it needs 25 pieces! It is not easy for us to transport such fresh fruits here..."

Hearing the peddler's endless complaints, Li Lin was a little dumbfounded.

I haven't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry?

"It's too expensive. The most expensive peaches my father bought back then were only two pieces of silver sand!"

Kaisha could tell at a glance that the vendor had exaggerated the price, and she didn't want Li Lincheng to be taken advantage of, even though she knew he wasn't short of money at all.

"Little girl, how can there be any fruit here now? I have peaches from Kumanggra. Do you know where Kumanggra is? It's the south of Picheng! You think it's too expensive, but I don't think it's too expensive! "

"Yes, but..."

Little Kasha obviously doesn't have much life experience. She has only seen her parents bargaining, but she has never done it herself.

After being so talked about by the peddler, a look of bewilderment was visible on her face.

"Really, my peach..."

Seeing that the vendor still wanted to chatter about something, Li Lin waved his hands repeatedly to stop him: "Stop, stop, that's enough...I haven't said anything yet."

"Uh... I'm very sorry, sir." He was afraid that Li Lin would get angry because of this, so he hurriedly apologized.

After all, his boxes of juicy peaches have been around for more than a week, and only a few of them have been sold.

Today, this little girl likes to eat peaches very much at first glance, and this young man who can afford the Hex armor is very rich at first glance.

In order to make up for his possible losses, he deliberately raised the price a lot.

He still has a family to support, and this money is still very important...

Only now, he regretted it a little.

If it was cheaper, they might not be so hesitant to buy it, would they?
Just when the vendor was hesitating whether to lower the price, Li Lin finally said, "You peaches, aren't they expensive?"

Oops!was spotted...

The vendor panicked, and was about to explain, but was interrupted by Li Lin's next words:
"I understand your desire to make up for the loss, but it's not that I don't understand the market. In this season, the most expensive peach of yours is only three or four silver sands? You actually sold me 10 of them."

The peddler's face became paler, thinking that the business could not go on this time.

"But, I think you look like an Ionian, right? Is it also because you escaped the war and ran to Picheng before, and started a transnational caravan business?"

Hearing what Li Lin said, the vendor was slightly taken aback, and nodded subconsciously, unable to understand what he wanted to express.

"Since we are both Ionians, shouldn't we embarrass our compatriots?"

"...You, you are right." The vendor lowered his face, looking very embarrassed, "The market price of this peach is 3 silver sands, but its quality is bad, and it can only be sold for 2.5 silver sands at most... ..."

An indignation flashed across Kai's small face, "How could you..."

She just opened her mouth to say a few words, Li Lin's big hand had already touched her shoulder-length purple hair, interrupting her words of complaint.

"Okay, I'll give you 10 gold seas, and you send all your fruits, including these hex coolers, to the mansion of Weina Bonso."

Kai'Sa: "??!"

Vendor: "!!!"

　Trivia: Kai'Sa's favorite food is peaches
