Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 273 The Age of Change
When Camille killed her younger brother, she cut off the last piece of weakness in her heart.

The weak woman in the past no longer exists, and now there is only darkness and coldness left in her heart.

From Li Lin's point of view, the current Camille almost has no weaknesses, which fits the real image of "Madame Gray" in his mind.

Of course, she is only "hardly vulnerable".

Li Lin still knew that Camille's former lover had died of old age.

The rest, only one Philos family can be used as a threat to her existence.

Li Lin really doesn't want to take advantage of this to coerce Camille, but judging from the current situation and her actual thinking, it is completely impossible.

Mrs. Gray has never been a qualified ruler behind the scenes. She keeps saying that she wants to maintain the stability of the two cities, but the actual practice is obvious to all.

Are the Twin Cities stable?
Unstable.

Without Li Lin, the alchemy barons of Zaun, Renata Golask, the inferior and unstable alchemy technology, and even Vander Warwick who became the beast of Zaun, and Urgot among the sinking hooks will be a threat.

And in Piltover, the smuggling of a large number of Hextech, the invasion of Noxus war masons, the monopoly of power and property by the parliament and the big families, the decay of the entire city, and the large-scale destruction of Jinx...

Later, Kada Jhin, the golden devil of Ionia, came to Piltover to make trouble, and was hunted down by a group of elite law enforcement officers led by Camille.

Even so, she let the other party, who had been prepared for a long time, escape, and failed to arrest him.

No matter which point it is, it threatens the stability of these two "twin sisters" city-states.

However, since Camille took over as the head of Ferros and became the real ruler behind Piltover, none of these things have been resolved.

She didn't even contribute as much to the stability of Piltover as Caitlyn, who would become the Sheriff of the Piltover Police in the future.

Camille has always been a selfish person. Everything she does is for the Philos family. Even if she looks at the two cities, she still puts the family first.

In other words, a person like her whose vision is limited to a corner and who fights for power and profit is no different from a frog at the bottom of a well.

However, Li Lin still understands Camille. After all, she doesn't know the coming world crisis in the future, and she has never thought about it.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Lin was so unkind to Camille's idea of ​​looking at and controlling Piltover.

I've almost got the Twin Cities back on track, you trying to mess with me?
Almost got it.

Although Camille was very dissatisfied with Li Lin's tough attitude, there was nothing she could do.

What he said is indeed good and reasonable. He really thinks about the sake of the two cities and wants to lead the two cities to rise.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons for her compromise.

In addition, there is an even more important reason...

She can't beat Li Lin at all.

Not only in terms of individual strength, since the assistance to Zaun some time ago, the batches of intelligent robots with complete functions and a large number are not something Camille can compete with.

Besides, she also heard that Li Lin "hooked up" with the legendary goddess of wind Janna...

Looking back on the past, Camille realized that in just over a year, Li Lin had grown from a handyman in a watch repair shop to what he is today.

Looking at Piltover's past, even in Zaun, he was never born with a genius like him.

Perhaps, Li Lin can really bring changes to the Shuangcheng and lead the Shuangcheng to the top of the world.

Camille thought to herself.

……

……

The next day, at Camille's behest, the Philos family announced the news of the "death" of the owner Stevan.

The new head of the household will be his grand-niece Abier Fellowos.

Karina seemed a little panicked, and ran to Li Lin's room early in the morning, knocked on his door, and almost found out what happened to him in Caitlin's room last night.

She just wanted to know more about what happened last night:
Why did the old guy die after Li Lin attended the party invited by Stevan?

Although Karina hated Stevan, she couldn't just kill him like that, right?

Li Lin was very helpless, and stated the facts to Camille according to the agreement with Camille.

Stevan died of a heart attack at the banquet. It happened so suddenly that no one expected it to happen.

Hearing that Stevan's death had nothing to do with Li Lin, Karina breathed a sigh of relief, and asked him to make preparations in advance and attend Stewan's funeral in a few days.

In fact, it wasn't just Gilaman, but the whole of Piltover, especially the councilors and powerful families.

Philos is the ruler behind the scenes in Upper City, and they all know it well.

Now that the head of the family, Stephen, died, the Arbus they had expected would not be the head of the house, but his sister would become the head of the house.

If they can bring down the Philos family, they can truly control the lifeline of Piltover.

However, when they saw Camille in public at Stevan's funeral, those small thoughts were dispelled in an instant, and replaced by panic.

Mrs. Hui no longer concealed her whereabouts, and combined with an innocent little girl who didn't even grow up to become the head of the family...

They probably guessed why Camille no longer hid herself as an agent.

Stevan's funeral was very grand, and almost all the famous families in Piltover sent representatives to participate in his farewell, which was also Camille's last confession to her brother.

The Gilaman family was attended by Karina, Erro, Lilin and Caitlin.

Kai'Sa doesn't belong to the Gilamann family, and because of Li Lin's various considerations, she was not allowed to attend this kind of funeral.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Lin also met many people whom he had never met before.

For example, Jal Midarda, the son of Jagu Midarda, the head of the Myrdalda family, got the news and finally returned from the expedition in Shurima, which made his old father heave a sigh of relief.

And Lemire, a well-known professor of archeology at Piltover University.

He is the uncle of Little Yellow Mao Ezreal, and he is also the main person in charge of going to the Howling Abyss to participate in the excavation of archaeological activities in the future, that is, the shop owner of the red side in the Smash Bros.

Beside him, there was a couple who looked younger talking and laughing with him.

According to Jess, they are also well-known archaeologists from the Academy of Archeology, and they have just returned from Shurima, and they are relatives of Professor Lemire.

Only then did Li Lin realize that they were Ezreal's parents, and it was they who disappeared during the archaeological activities in Shurima that prompted Ezreal to embark on the path of an explorer.

What troubled Li Lin was that he didn't know whether to stop Ezreal's parents from continuing to go to Shurima for archaeology.

After all, in the original world line, Ezreal has been looking for them for many years, but has never found their traces, and there is a high probability that they died accidentally.

It is not what Li Lin expected, but he does not know which archaeological investigation the couple will "disappear", and it is not easy to persuade others.

After careful consideration, Li Lin temporarily gave up the idea of ​​getting acquainted with them and persuading them.

It's one thing to be inappropriate at a funeral, it's another thing not to know why to advise them.

It can’t be said that I know the plot, you will be buried in the sea of ​​sand in a certain operation if you continue to do archaeology, right?
Moreover, since they chose the path of archaeology, they dared to explore dangerous places like Shurima, and basically knew their possible end.

Even if Li Lin persuaded them that "he might die", they would just laugh it off and not take it seriously.

After almost a busy day, Stevan was finally buried in the "family cemetery" behind Lanxun Manor, and the funeral came to an end.

……

……

It is only now that the Shuangcheng is in a stable state in the true sense, and all threats have been completely resolved.

Li Lin can finally let go to improve the technological level of the two cities.

As for the "distorted" system of Piltover, the big family is in power, and the city is corrupted and degenerated from all aspects.

This cannot be changed in a short period of time. It can only be improved step by step, and the help of Karina, a congressman, is needed.

What needs to be done most now is to increase the combat effectiveness of the two cities first, so as to have the strength to deal with the various upcoming world crises.

After more than a month, Li Lin first handed over all the daily furniture design drawings mentioned by Li Lin to Karina, and asked her to arrange the production.

In addition, Zaan is a place rich in oil, and many places in the pits of the trench have dug out this strategic resource.

Li Lin sent people and mechanical engineers to continue to explore for oil in the trench, and discovered new pits with high output and good quality.

It's just that these mines belonged to Adrian, the former baron of alchemy, and Li Lin had already sent someone to negotiate with him for the acquisition of the mines.

With a large amount of petroleum fuel, plus the two oil refineries that Li Lin currently has on hand, it can be used to replace the very expensive hex ring bikes and hex two-wheeled motorcycles for production.

In addition to bicycles for daily travel, motorcycles will also become a great convenience for people to travel.

As for four-wheeled vehicles, there is a high probability that it will not be possible due to the current relatively crowded and dense buildings and road traffic conditions in Piltover.

Unless Piltover can expand outward and demolish and renovate the main urban area, it may be possible to use cars as the main means of transportation like the earth.

The development of Uptown is methodical, and Zaun is even more so.

The first church of the Goddess of Wind has been established in the middle square, and the pious believers selected by Li Lin and Jana served as bishops and godfathers, guiding the believers who came to pray every day.

According to Zhinao's statistics, there are currently more than 2 registered believers in the Wind Goddess Sect, and this number is still increasing rapidly.

The church in Piltover has not yet started construction, and many believers from the upper city take the elevator to visit the middle square every now and then.

Janna's divine power is recovering rapidly, and it won't take long for her to return to her peak, or even far exceed her peak.

As a result, Li Lin quickly produced a batch of new mechanical engineers, and let them start the large-scale construction of wind power stations in the Piltover Grand Canyon.

With the help of Janna, this power station will provide most of the power to Shuangcheng, far exceeding the sum of the current tidal power station and several thermal power stations!

Not only that, the expedition team of the Gilaman family has returned, and the first batch of ores collected from Shurima that can be used to extract nuclear fusion elements are already in place.

Coupled with the special magic material that Rambo mined and transported from the outskirts of Bandle City, Geboga's energy is no longer a problem.

It is estimated that in just a few weeks, the right arm of Gai Bojia, which Li Lin is focusing on, the so-called "Gai Bojia's Fist" can be completely completed.

If the future world crisis is left aside, everything in the Shuangcheng is thriving.

The time for change has arrived.
