Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 193 Welcome to the City of Progress!

Gilamann's expedition team returned, and the artisans who had already prepared their luggage in advance boarded the ship one after another.

Nashilami and Belguen only need to keep some responsible and maintenance personnel.

As for the guards, the local chief sent soldiers, or each family paid for mercenaries to guard them.

Li Lin approached Kassadin and persuaded him to follow him back to Piltover again.

Malzahar's news can be investigated by hiring people or sending special spies who specialize in this line of work.

It's a pity that this stubborn man rejected Li Lin's proposal again.

Kassadin hated the Void to the bone, and swore to fight the twisted and corrupted monsters forever.

Moreover, Malzaha, the murderer who killed his beloved and caused his daughter to suffer life and death in the dark underground for more than three years, is still at large, and it is really difficult for him to return to a normal life.

In desperation, Li Lin had no choice but to take Kai'Sa, who was crying into tears, onto the boat.

At three poles in the sun, the sailors sang brisk chant, and the two ships of Gilaman's family set sail.

Li Lin, Kai'Sa, and Gilamann's expedition team took the same ship that Li Lin came on, and Jess and the artisans to Belguen took another ship.

Accompanied by the chirping of seagulls circling in the sky, Li Lin and Kaisha stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the pier gradually sinking into the horizon in the distance.

Hearing Kai'Sa's low sobs, Li Lin's heart was also flustered, "Ka'Sa..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Kaisha quickly wiped away the crystal tears that swirled in her eyes, and turned her red eyes to look up at Li Lin, "I'm sorry to bother you."

"Don't say that." Li Lin sighed distressedly.

He reached out his hand to wipe away another teardrop that ran down Kai'Sa's cheek, "Actually, you could have stayed in Shurima, but with the Hexgate, I can check on your situation anytime and anywhere."

Kai'Sa just shook her head slightly, forcing a smile on her face: "You are going to help me remove this layer of skin armor, I can't let you run back and forth for personal reasons.

"Besides, this Hexgate can be teleported to every corner of the world within a few seconds. I can go to Piltover and come back by airship when I want to see my father."

Kai'Sa sniffed her nose twice, then turned her head and continued to look in the direction of Nashiramei, where the blue sky and the surging sea meet.

She raised her chin slightly, trying not to let the re-emerging tears fall from her eyes.

"Three years have passed, without you, I would not even know that my father is still alive.

"Dad said I've grown up, I'm not the chick who needs the protection of my parents, it's time to spread my wings and fly to the unrestrained sky..."

Kai'Sa's tone was very firm, so firm that Li Lin felt that it was her words forcibly comforting him.

She is just a 13-year-old girl, but the things she encounters are far beyond the horrors that her peers, even adults, may not have seen in their nightmares.

With this kind of experience, she should actually have a goal that can pin her spirit.

In the past, it was to survive, to live, and when it got out of the void, it changed to save others.

As for now, Li Lin and Kassadin rescued her in advance and took her away from the lifeless saline land, what will become of her spiritual sustenance...

Li Lin didn't know.

He only knew that Kai'Sa was a strong girl, even if she hadn't grown into the legendary "Void Daughter" who wandered around Keharise and Calixa in the future.

Through the previous journey in the desert, her character has already been revealed, and she doesn't like to reveal her thoughts.

Apart from herself, there was no acquaintance Kaisha knew on board.

The only thing Li Lin can do now is to accompany this little girl who fell into loneliness again not long after reuniting with her father, and give her care and warmth.

This is what she needs most right now.

……

……

Children are always easy to coax.

After the first two days, the tears have been "crying dry", and Kaisha, who has come out of the sadness of parting with her father, is alive again.

Due to the addition of Gilaman's expedition team on this return voyage, the whole ship seemed a lot crowded.

Kai'Sa didn't know these strangers from a foreign country whose appearance was very different from the Shurima people.

No matter how gentlemanly and friendly they were, Kai'Sa didn't pay much attention to them.

This still made Li Lin feel more at ease.

At least he didn't have to teach Kai'Sa not to talk to strangers in Piltover, lest she be tricked by bad guys and count gold coins for others.

Li Lin originally wanted to take advantage of these ten days of free time to carefully study the changes in the three major skill trees after he advanced to "Mechanical Heart", a little bit of skills.

He helped Sivir design and manufacture a new set of "Project Origin: Genesis" power armor, and he gained another 3 skill points, and now there are a full 60 skill points that have not been used yet.

By the way, he is also going to use [Data Thinking] to comprehend the condensed original crystal he bought in the store, and see if he can directly obtain the design drawings of the "Hex Core".

But if there is nothing to do, Kaisha always goes to the independent bedroom and studio room that the captain specially reserved for Li Lin.

After being tormented by her, he hardly has any time left.

As a mountain child born in the desert, Kaisha is a landlubber, and she is still very afraid of the vast sea.

But with Li Lin by her side, she really likes to stand on the edge of the boat, close her eyes and enjoy the feeling of the cool and moist sea breeze blowing on her cheeks.

Whether it's her father or Li Lin, they will give her a sense of peace of mind.

This feeling becomes especially strong after leaving the underground void.

Therefore, Kaisha sticks to Li Lin's side every day, pulling him to watch the sea with her.

But Li Lin was also happy to be at leisure.

Since traveling to this world, this kind of leisurely time is very rare.

He almost forgot the decadent time when he was lying on a big soft bed in an air-conditioned room playing with his mobile phone.

It's nice to relax occasionally.

……

……

The journey of more than ten days passed quickly.

Accompanied by the sound of mechanical gears and slightly harsh metal friction, the Sun Gate sea gate slowly opened.

The Piltover Canal meets the sea water, and after passing through layers of locks, the two ships of Gilaman's family slowly docked at the Sun Gate Wharf.

Kai'Sa followed behind Li Lin, and walked off the wooden board connecting the deck and the pier, her footsteps were slightly wobbly.

It was the first time she had been on a boat for so long, and she finally got used to the rickety and dizzy life. When she suddenly touched the ground, Kaisha couldn't stand still.

However, this still couldn't stop her curiosity about this lively and strange city-state.

The workers on the pier were busy, and the simplified version of power armor and humanoid robots that could be seen everywhere were carrying all kinds of heavy goods.

Sleek marble combines with bronze grids, mechanical gears and gleaming glass to form an architecture of stately elegance.

There are also many children who are shuttling through the crowd, or squatting on street corners, playing with wonderful little mechanical gadgets in their hands.

Everything is inseparable from different kinds of mechanical devices - this is a progressive city-state full of vitality.

Kai'Sa, with a sluggish face, couldn't help rounding her moist purple eyes, looking at everything around her curiously.

The sun disc brought her a grand and epic shock, but Piltover gave her another completely different feeling.

It was something she had never seen in Shurima.

"Is this Piltover?" Kai'Sa grabbed Li Lin's wrist, who had put on the power armor again, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"Yes, Piltover, it can be regarded as my third hometown."

"third?"

Li Lin's face was full of nostalgia, and he didn't answer Kai'Sa's question.

After a pause, he smiled and bowed his head to Kai'Sa and said, "Welcome to the City of Progress!"
