Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 289 Soft, Sweet and Waxy Little Cake
Zoe's confession came out of nowhere, and Li Lin didn't make any mental preparations.

After a whole night of counseling, he failed to bring the little girl's emotions back on track.

Because Zoe refused to give up, she still firmly believed that she really liked Li Lin, and said that it would take time to prove it.

In the next few weeks, Zoe basically stayed at Gilaman's house and did not leave.

Except for occasionally getting into the portal and running to nowhere, she stuck to Li Lin's side most of the time, which made him unable to make out with Caitlin for a while, and he was very annoyed, but helpless.

She even has to participate in the research and development of new technologies.

Li Lin's posture for enchanting the armor was wrong, but as soon as Zoe got started, he transformed the three-generation armor that had accompanied him for a long time into countless star butterflies, flying into the spiritual realm with wings as brilliant as stars.

If it's just this, it's fine, anyway, as long as there are materials, he can create a new armor.

But when Zoe heard that Li Lin needed materials, she didn't even give him a chance to ask. She stretched out her hand and opened a portal, summoning the star iron that the protoss used to make weapons for the Shurima god warriors.

Although star iron is very precious, there are not many of them in the entire Runeterra.

But the one Zoe found for Li Lin was as big as a two-story building, smashing his workshop into ruins, and almost crushing him under it...

Fortunately, these are all foreign objects, and the mechanical engineers can completely restore the ruins to their original appearance in a few hours.

While Li Lin was feeling annoyed, he couldn't help but feel a little rejoiced.

Fortunately, before Zooey followed him back to Gilaman's house, he made an agreement with this naughty little girl.

In any case, no magical pranks on everyone in Gilaman's house, no targeting and crowding out Caitlyn, and no playing tricks on Kai'Sa, who lives with the void, including her living skin.

What is commendable is that, it seems that in order to express herself to Li Lin, Zoe really kept these promises.

And those things that she helped out of good intentions but turned into big mistakes, after Li Lin's criticism and persuasion, she also changed.

This greatly exceeded Li Lin's expectations...

In the next few days, following Li Lin's words, Zooey seldom used magic anymore, and seemed quite at ease.

She gets up, eats, sleeps like an ordinary girl every day, and occasionally runs out with Kaisha to play with Orianna and Seraphine.

Not only that, but she even went to Piltover College, where she met Bobo and Mellow, who were already studying there, and through them, she met Wei and Craig.

During this period, Li Lin has been sending mechanical engineers to follow her to record at any time.

Even if Zooey followed the troublesome foursome, she didn't cause any trouble in Shuangcheng.

Apart from learning martial arts from Wei and beating up a few punks who wanted to find fault...

The bell in the Zodiac Basement rang, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time to go to work soon.

Zoe followed Kaisha to find Seraphine again today.

She likes to sing very much. Li Lin heard from Kaisha that she wanted to learn some popular songs in Shuangcheng and sing them for him.

In the newly built workshop, Li Lin is manipulating a robotic arm to cut materials from pure star iron half the size of a room, preparing to manufacture the sixth-generation Source Project Infinity Armor.

This is only a very small part of Zoe summoned through the portal, and the other part was cut into multiple parts by Li Lin, and the mechanical engineers locked them into the newly built underground warehouse.

dong dong dong...

Caitlin knocked on the outermost door of the workshop.

Reminded by Zhinao, Li Lin temporarily stopped the work at hand, took off his protective equipment, and went out to meet Caitlin who came in.

Today, she is wearing a pink and purple one-piece tunic skirt. The white ruffles of the skirt reach the base of her thighs, and her pair of perfectly proportioned slender legs are covered with a pair of black tights that are easy to move.

She wears a custom-made gold trim, a top hat that matches her hair color, and a simple aristocratic bow tie on her slender and fair neck. Leg boots.

This is Caitlin's most traditional outfit. She was used to wearing this outfit when she went out in civilian clothes, and even later became the Sheriff of the Piltover Police.

At the same time, it is also a set of clothing that Li Lin likes very much.

Although she is less than 20 years old now, she does not fit the image of a mature royal sister in Li Lin's impression.

But now Caitlin seems to have the vitality of a young girl, and she has a unique charm that is not lost at all when she is mature and stable in the future.

"what can I do for you?"

Li Lin stepped forward and gently hugged her into his arms.

Caitlin didn't resist, or she liked Li Lin's intimacy with her very much.

Besides, since Zooey lived at home, she hasn't been intimate with Li Lin for a long time, so the time alone is very precious.

"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" Caitlin raised her head and gave Li Lin a gouging look, then snorted softly, "That protoss sticks to you every day, how long has it been since we haven't..."

As she spoke, her little face blushed slightly.

In fact, this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened. Compared with the beginning, Caitlin has been able to let go, and even often "turns over and becomes the master", occupying a dominant position.

But this kind of discussion is only in the room, outside, she is still a little ashamed to talk about this kind of thing, and she is too embarrassed to say it.

Li Lin looked at Caitlin's shy look, and couldn't help but want to tease her. He stretched out his finger across her delicate and hot face, and said with a chuckle, "Are you... are you jealous of Zoe?"

"Who...who is jealous?" She softly hammered on Li Lin's chest, "It's just a child, how could I be jealous of her?"

Caitlin's face was blushing, this look was obviously caught by Li Lin's tail, which made him smile even more: "What are you panicking about?"

"I, I didn't... Ah! Where are you going, this is outside..."

"It's okay, the door is locked, don't worry..." Li Lin chuckled, "You are really getting softer and softer, my little cake."

Caitlin rounded her beautiful eyes with a surprised expression, "...Little cake?"

"So soft, sweet and sticky little cake, I really want to eat you in one bite."

"Um - don't call me that..."

"Do you not like it?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it feels a little weird."

"Then I'll call you Little Cake from now on?"

"You hate~~!"

Feeling Li Lin's becoming more presumptuous, and the mature breath blowing on her face, Caitlin retained the last trace of reason, and finally pushed him away.

"Stop making trouble, I still need it later, and I have to go to work." Panting slightly, she straightened her face, "Also, there is one more thing, you asked me earlier."

When talking about business, Li Lin restrained his playfulness, "Is there any result?"

There is only one thing he asked Caitlin to do recently, and that was to use the power of the family to investigate the news of the Trivel city-state Noxus army in the southern part of the Silver Mountain Range closest to Demacia.

Because that town has been very heavily guarded recently, with soldiers patrolling non-stop all day long, Li Lin couldn't send mechanical engineers to sneak in to investigate the situation.

In addition, the clingy Zoe has caused Li Lin a lot of trouble recently. He has no time to monitor the movements of Noxus, so he has to ask Caitlin to help.

It just so happened that the Gilaman family had business ties with Noxus, and it was normal for the caravan to settle in Triwell, which happened to act as a "spy" for Li Lin.

But he never revealed to Caitlin what his purpose was, nor did he say that a small battle between Noxus and Demacia was about to break out.

Out of trust in her lover, Caitlin didn't ask too many details, but sent a caravan of several people in the name of her mother.

In order to be able to enter the city smoothly, this caravan carried some Hex equipment products that used Hex square batteries for daily life.

It is also a mechanical device that Noxus most desperately needs, but Piltover restricts export.

"Currently the town of Triwell is only allowed to enter but not to leave, and even letters are not allowed to be sent out... If it weren't for your wireless phone, this news would not be able to get out."

Caitlin tidied up her clothes a bit, walked to the workbench, and asked the brain to project a map of Valoran.

Afterwards, she zoomed in on Triwell at the southwest corner of the Glittering Silver Mountains, frowned slightly and said: "I heard from the caravan that Noxus is preparing an army these days. In the middle of last night, an elite team came from the northwest The gate on the side is out."

Caitlin stretched out her hand and circled the 3D projection map, and quickly analyzed: "But going out from there, besides going into the mountains, you can only go to White Cliff City in the west along the coastline of the Sea of ​​Conquerors, but White Cliff City It has always been forbidden for any Noxians to enter.

"If Noxus' goal is not here, then..."

She poked her finger lightly on the map projection, followed by the scan of the mechanical engineer, and the mountain path marked by the brain went all the way up to Demacia's border outpost - the Gate of Sorrow.

"Their target turned out to be the outpost of Demacia?!"

Caitlin's expression was astonished, and she suddenly turned her head to look at Li Lin.

"No wonder you have been monitoring the movements of Noxus. You had already expected that they would not take advantage of the war between Ionia and the Freljord, and turned their attention to Demacia?"

I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense, I just know the script...

Li Lin remained silent with a serious face, and Caitlin took it as his acquiescence.

Her face became serious, she clenched her fist and hammered it on the workbench, and couldn't help but swear: "Damn it! Can't this group of Noxians stop for a day?"

Afterwards, Caitlin continued to look at the map and marked the Gate of Sorrow, "This outpost is built on the top of a mountain, if it is attacked from the Shimmering Silver Mountain Range, it is barely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"But I heard that Demacia has only stationed a sentry team here, and they have to guard against the harassment of bandits wandering nearby, so they have no resources.

"But Triwell has a 2000-man regiment stationed here... If there is a forceful attack, the Gate of Sorrow cannot be defended at all."

Caitlin took a deep breath, and turned her gaze back to Li Lin, "We can't let the war break out again, but our city of Piltover has always remained neutral...we have to find a way."

"My mechanical engineers have sent news that the border of Demacia is affected by bandits and warlike tribes. The prince Jarvan IV has now arrived at the border town of Renwall in the east of Demacia, trying to manage the border."

When Li Lin said this, Caitlin's face changed, "Noxus has heard about Prince Guangshield and is going to..."

"I also have this guess." Following her voice, Li Lin continued: "Jarvan IV is the only child of the Demacia royal family. If he is captured or killed by Noxus..."

Li Lin didn't finish his sentence, but the smart Caitlin could easily understand what he wanted to express.

Demacia has established a state on the west side of Valoran since ancient times, and has never made any move to expand outward.

But this does not mean that they are weak and weak.

On the contrary, they have the fearless vanguard group with the smallest number of people, but their per capita physical fitness is comparable to that of "Captain of the United States".

Once the Prince of Lightshield is captured or killed by Noxus, the entire Valoran continent will fall into endless wars like it was 100 years ago, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"What are you going to do?" Caitlin asked. "I know you have plans."

Li Lin turned to look directly at her sapphire eyes, "I want to go to the gate of sorrow myself."
