Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 223 The Blessing of the Illuminati
More than ten minutes ago, on the second floor of the Hextech audio store in a commercial street in the southern city of Piltover.

Seraphine was sitting in front of the window of her room, with her arms propped on the window sill, her cheeks propped up with her hands, a slight smile hung on her delicate face, and a pair of blue eyes swept across the street from time to time, passing by the door of her shop people, humming her own beautiful tune softly.

As a Zaunite born in Piltover, she has a special ability since she was a child-to listen to the voices of others.

The sailor's chant of Sun Gate, the whistle of apprentices, and the melody of people's conversations on the street are the best accompaniments for her daily singing.

Seraphine's parents knew about her ability and wanted her to study at the School of Magic at Piltover University.

However, due to family constraints, they worked hard all their lives, moved from Zaun to Uptown before Seraphine was born, and opened a Hex audio repair shop, with no money left.

The tuition fee of Piltover University is not something their ordinary family can afford.

Unless Seraphine was 16 years old and applied for the college exam, most of the tuition and fees would be exempted if she passed, or she would have to have a family to sponsor her so that she could study when she was young.

It's just that they don't want their innocent and innocent daughter to become a "weapon" in the hands of those dirty nobles to make money, and lose themselves by then.

Therefore, they have never sent sound transmission tubes to any family and wrote sponsorship application letters.

But as Seraphine grew older, her ability became more and more effective, and what she could hear was not only the singing in people's hearts, but also everyone's soul——

Whether benevolent or cruel, all kinds of incongruous noises, secrets, have an increasingly obvious influence on her.

Downstairs, a few children with shabby clothes and dirty clothes ran past. The strongest boy at the head was still waving a delicate small bag cut off at the strap, turning his head from time to time to do something to the law enforcement officers who were chasing them. make faces.

The smile on Seraphine's face disappeared instantly, and the extremely uncoordinated and chaotic voice lingered in her ears again.

She sighed slightly, got up and closed the window, then glanced at the small alarm clock on her bedside table, her face changed slightly.

"Oops! It's almost four o'clock, I almost forgot to chat with Granny Yiai..."

Seraphine hurriedly grabbed the powder blue coat on the hanger at the door, told her parents who were busy repairing the stereo downstairs, and ran out of the store.

The Evolution Day is approaching, and the celebration of joyful songs and laughter has washed away most of the negative emotions in the city.

In addition, in the past year or so, a young craftsman of the Gilaman family was born, not only improved the Hex crystal, but also brought cheap and affordable basic electricity and many convenient daily necessities.

With the improvement of the quality of life, the hostility in people's hearts has decreased a lot. Seraphine, who was deeply affected by her own ability and stayed behind closed doors every day, has recently come out to listen to the harmonious tunes in people's hearts like she did when she was a child.

Although there are still occasional incongruous and chaotic sounds like just now...

Seraphine admires Li Lin very much, has read various reports and magazines about him, and has always wanted to meet this genius among his peers, who is a young man who ranks among the top few in Picheng's personal wealth list at a young age? what kind of person.

It was only in the past few months that she heard that Li Lin was sent by the family to Shurima to build the Hexfly Gate, and she would not come until recently.

Ok……

I have to find a chance to go around the northern city and see if I can meet him.

Otherwise, I have to wait until the evolution day, maybe I can see him in the crowd outside.

Seraphine made up her mind.

Accompanied by the voices of the people, she hummed softly all the way, and when the mechanical clock in the Zodiac Basement struck, she arrived at No. [-] Avenue where Granny Yiai's stall was located.

But before she took a few steps, a more chaotic raving than she had heard before came to her ears, which stung her spirit.

"This voice...what the hell is going on?"

Seraphine's expression was slightly painful, she subconsciously stopped, and looked in the direction of the source of the sound, which happened to be Granny Yiai's stall.

There stood two figures wearing power armor, one tall and one lower.

She recognized Li Lin in the black streamlined battle armor at a glance. As for the little girl who was probably a few years older than herself with him...

This discordant, even spiritually polluted voice came from her heart...

No, it came from the "power armor" on her body.

Seraphine's pretty eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and the inexplicable ravings in her ears seemed to swallow her up.

She covered her ears, but the voice that directly penetrated her body and reached the depths of her soul couldn't be blocked at all.

Suddenly, Seraphine's sapphire blue pupils narrowed slightly, realizing the problem: "No, no...that's not power armor, it's...alive!"

She wanted to escape from this place, but her thin body trembled uncontrollably, unable to move at all.

"How could it be..." Seraphine's anxious tears were about to flow out.

She was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would be affected by the magic sound and lose herself completely.

However, this feeling was not suppressed by Si Xu until a strange male youth's voice sounded: "Are you okay?"

Seraphine, with tears in her eyes, looked up, and saw a familiar face that she had often seen in newspapers and magazines, and which she had always wanted to see in person.

"Mr. Li Lin...?"

"It's me, this beautiful and lovely lady, Happy Evolution Day."

Li Lin noticed Seraphine's abnormality from a distance, and immediately checked her situation with "data-based thinking", and found that her mind was actually affected by "Whispers of the Void".

He knew Seraphine's ability, and immediately realized that it might be the influence of Kai'Sa's living skin armor.

So let Kai'sa stay where she is for the time being and eat the sweet cake first, while he spent 875 blue essences in the [Essence Store] to buy a cross pendant called "The Asylum of the Illuminati".

The Illuminati is a secret sect in Demacia that has the tacit approval of the government and the Demon Seeker organization. They only accept members who can use magic, and most of them are noble children, which is equivalent to protecting them in disguise.

And this pendant is made of rune iron made of forbidden magic stone, which can significantly reduce the effect of magic. By absorbing the wearer's magic power, it can reduce the influence of magic talent on them.

"Happy Evolution Day...I'm sorry, Mr. Li Lin, I'm not feeling well right now and I want to go home..." Seraphine almost finished the sentence through gritted teeth.

She was happy because she saw Li Lin and could talk to him.

But now is not the time to talk to someone you admire.

"I can see that you have been negatively affected by your own magical talent."

Regardless of Seraphine's stunned expression, Li Lin handed the pendant in front of her, "It's called the 'Shield of the Illuminator', and it can suppress your magical talent and make you feel better."
