Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 192 Concentrated Primal Crystal

Early the next morning.

Nasus, who had been waiting all night, came to the hotel contracted by the Gilaman family and asked the owner to knock on the doors of Li Lin and Sivir respectively to wake them up.

After negotiating yesterday evening, Nasus learned that the descriptions of Sagar and Li Lin, the governor of the port of Nashilame, are exactly the same, and he is a very old-fashioned and pedantic person.

Even if he proved that God Emperor Azir had returned and the City of the Sun had reemerged from the yellow sands, she refused to let Nashilame return to the rule of Shurima.

Saga only recognized the emperor's coat of arms but not people. Even if Azir came to Naslam in person, she would have to have the emperor's coat of arms to make her surrender, even if it was threatened with death.

However, if Xerath, who betrayed Azir, got the emperor's coat of arms, he wouldn't be regarded by Saga as an inheritor of the orthodox ruler...

Only the royal blood who bear the emperor's coat of arms is eligible to inherit the throne and rule the Shurima Empire.

This was originally a rule formulated by Setaka, the first emperor of Shurima, in order to prevent his descendants from robbing the throne.

But she never expected that this rule would become one of the obstacles for her descendants to make Shurima rise again...

Nasus was very helpless with this stubborn female governor, but her actions were in line with Shurima tradition.

Coupled with the fact that Saga is deeply loved by the people of Nashi Latin America, it is enough to prove that she is not a fatuous ruler, and Nasus has no reason to kill her.

He was going to go back to the Naslam Library to wait for the news of the elite fighters sent by Azir, and negotiate with Sara after he got the emperor's coat of arms.

The purpose of Nasus' visit today, apart from saying goodbye to Li Lin and the others, was to take Sivir away.

But when he returned to Nashilami and saw the remaining support staff of his mercenary group, Sivir suddenly didn't want to leave anymore, and planned to rebuild Zhai Haluo's mercenary group.

The boy who led the way for Jess was the first to join Sivir at the bar last night, and she was temporarily promoted to deputy.

In desperation, Nasus imprinted a perception magic into the "Emerald Barrier" pendant he gave Sivir.

If her life was in danger, he would be able to sense it instantly, and turn into the posture of a god to arrive at Nashi Lamei at full speed for rescue.

……

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

These days, Li Lin used the remaining three energy crystals of the Kassadin armor, the instruments used to build the core of the Hexfly gate, and various remaining materials to tailor a set of power armor for Sivir.

It is different from the slightly cumbersome Hex power armor he built for Kassadin, which is full of defensive attributes.

Sivir's power armor greatly reduces the excess metal armor, making it more like a tight suit overall.

This set of power armor refers to part of Azir's eagle armor, and the overall color is mainly golden, which is more in line with the style and color of Dasai.

Although the defense has been weakened a lot, it can greatly improve Sivir's agility.

The speed provided by [Overcharge] has been greatly increased, and the duration has been extended to 30 seconds.

In addition, Li Lin also re-added [High Frequency Vibrating Knife], [Serrated Wrist Blade] and [High Energy Laser Ray], three hex power armor deleted attack systems.

However, Sivir's main weapon is still Chalikar, and these weapons are just extras.

The power armor was delivered to Sivir, and she was very satisfied after trying it on.

It's a much better fit than the foldable power armor she's been wearing before, and the look fits her aesthetic perfectly.

This set of power armor, Li Lin named it "Yuan Project·Creation War".

As for Kassadin, Li Lin spent 200 blue essences directly in the [Essence Store] to buy a new set of Hex Power Armor.

He is going to continue to inquire about the whereabouts of the Prophet in Shurima. Defensive armor is a must, but the enchantment of healing magic is missing.

In the afternoon, the expedition team of the Gilaman family returned as scheduled, bringing not only a whole box full of more than a dozen original crystals, but also precious items traded with the nomads, and they were going to take them back to Piltover for sale.

At Li Lin's request, Brewer, the leader of the expedition, reported to him about his work and everything he had encountered in the past six months.

For example, encountering extremely severe sandstorms, encountering strong robbers is a trivial matter.

Those Milos beetles the size of domestic dogs, desert carnivorous monitor lizards, sand crocodiles, and sand tigers that can swallow adults whole in one bite are the biggest difficulties they encounter.

Among these fortresses, the predators at the top of the food chain, if the expedition team had not brought enough Hex weapons, they would have been completely unable to compete with them.

When the report was over, Li Lin lowered his head in thought, and was about to ask Brewer to take him to check the original crystal, when he broke another big news:
Their team has met Ramos the armored dragon turtle!
"You don't know, that big guy is four or five meters high! At that time, we were besieged in the cave by Milos beetles, and a cloud of dust suddenly kicked up in the distance.

"A chubby guy with emerald green skin and golden spiked armor rolled over, literally rolled! In a short while, he ate up the swarm of insects.

"Bless Ramos! If the Hex camera in our hands hadn't been lost, I would definitely take a picture of his divine appearance and treat it as a family heirloom!"

It seems that Piltover will have one more person who believes in Ramos in the future.

Li Lin smiled and didn't comment much.

Ramos is so mysterious that he doesn't quite understand what the creature that guards the desert is.

But now he is eager to go home and doesn't care much about this.

Immediately let Breuer take him to the pier. A huge purple Hex treasure chest was placed beside the Gilaman family's boat, guarded by more than a dozen guards holding Hex energy weapons.

Brewer took out a Hex mechanism lock key from his pocket and opened the Hex treasure chest.

With a faint taste of metallic rancidity appearing and disappearing in the mouth, the colors of each one are somber, similar to energy crystals to a certain extent, but the blue crystals with more sharp edges and corners lie quietly on the small metal fixing frame.

"This is the original crystal?"

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, picked up a crystal, and opened [Data Thinking] to view its information.

[Original crystal: the source of life of the shell people, one of the fragments of ancient consciousness. 】

[Note: Only arcane masters can fully utilize the huge magic inside the original crystal. 】

"That's right, we have been digging in the southern mountains for more than a month, and only 13 original crystals have been unearthed." Brewer clasped his arms and explained.

"13?"

Li Lin put the original crystal in his hand back into the box.

While Brewer didn't notice, he spent 925 blue essences and quickly bought a purely unconscious "concentrated original crystal" from the [Essence Store].

"But isn't there 14 of these?"

"Ah?" Brewer was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "You are so funny, we have checked many times before..."

"There are really 14?" Li Lin said deliberately in a slightly puzzled and surprised tone.

He showed Brewer the original crystal in his hand, and pointed to the Hex treasure chest, "If you don't believe me, can you count it?"

Seeing that Li Lin was serious, Breuer withdrew the smile on his face, lowered his head suspiciously, and counted carefully several times.

"Eh? What's going on?!"

Brewer rubbed his eyes fiercely, his eyes switched back and forth between the box and Li Lin's hands, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.

"Why... are there really 14?"

"So, your work needs to be more detailed, Brewer."

Li Lin looked at Brewer whose face was gradually turning red, lightly patted his shoulder, and sighed deliberately.

"Hold... I'm very sorry!"

"No need to apologize, it is a good thing to have one more original crystal, the value of this small crystal cannot be estimated by Jin Hai.

"However, I will take away the extra original crystal for research, do you have any objection?"

Bruno quickly waved his hands and said in a panic, "Of course I don't mind!"

I am already very grateful that you do not hold me accountable.

Besides, you are still the son-in-law of Councilor Gilamanen...

He added in his mind.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Lin smiled politely, and held the condensed original crystal he bought from the store in his palm.

However, he had only walked a few steps when a faint singing voice sounded directly in his mind.

With a beautiful tone, this song showed Li Lin a great and epic picture scroll of ancient Shurima.

But it didn't take long before the singing suddenly changed into a sad and mournful style...

The corners of Li Lin's eyes were moist.

Although he couldn't understand the language of this song, he knew very well that it was the weeping of the souls of the shell people.

"Mr. Li Lin... are you okay?" A guard of the Gilaman family noticed the abnormality and came forward to greet him with concern.

"No, I'm just a little bit reluctant to let go of this difficult and beautiful memory." Li Lin wiped the corners of his eyes nonchalantly, with a polite smile on his face.

"Haha, after the Hexfly Gate is put into use, you may have a chance to come here to play."

"Ah."

Li Lin skipped the guards and walked straight forward, but the singing in his ears never stopped.

Through [data-based thinking], he knew the general meaning of this soul song: the shell-human consciousness aggregate in the original crystal longed to go home.

Walking to the corner at the end of the pier, Li Lin turned his head and took a deep look at the closed Hex treasure chest, and said silently in his heart:

Sorry, the current me is not qualified to make Piltover stop using you.

But don't worry, I won't wait too long, I will definitely liberate you and return your cores...

　There is a small bug in the previous article: the female governor of Nashilami is called Saga, I wrote it as Sarah in the previous chapters, and it has been corrected.

　　Thanks to the boss of Zhatian Gang for the reward!
