Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 339 Ten Kings, Ten Thrones; Nine Crowns, Crowned on the Head
Jarvan IV's attitude towards magic was far beyond Li Lin's expectations.

You know, in the original world line, he hated magic very much, so he took the initiative to delegate power to the magic seekers to form an association, and ordered Eldred to search for mages vigorously.

Especially the arrest of Silas, who was imprisoned for 15 years, escaped the death penalty because of Lux's magic power, and then led the rebellion.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Jarvan III was assassinated in the mage rebellion, and Jarvan IV, who had experienced the pain of losing his father, became so extreme.

As for who assassinated King Jarvan III?
Silas did not ask anyone to do such a thing. He himself was surprised by the king's death.

Jiawen III died in his own study, and it looked as if he had resisted at all.

So where did the murderer come from, Li Lin guessed it by just thinking about it.

You know, the reason why Jarvan III was assassinated was because he sent Xin Zhao, who had been guarding him all the time, to send a letter to Eldred to stop the operation of the demon seeker.

But Eldred is very smart, and can even be described as treacherous and cunning.

Would he allow himself to be stripped of his power?
Li Lin had every reason to suspect that he was the future murderer of the king.

It's just that it's still early, and his conspiracy hasn't surfaced yet.

However, if the murderer who killed Jean three years ago was really related to the Demon Seekers, then they would have caught Eldred.

It will be very simple to abolish the power of the magic searchers to form associations in the future when the reform of the magic code is carried out.

Li Lin thought and thought, and planned to use the drone to find Ander's home and the tomb where Qin was buried, and investigate the matter in depth.

As for Fiddlesticks' rebellion, since Ander had been lying before, Li Lin was really not sure whether what happened here was really done by this fearful demon.

Besides, as far as Li Lin knew about Fiddlesticks and other demons, he always felt that facing them, as long as no corresponding emotions arose in his heart, he would not be manipulated by these demons.

The same is true for Fiddlesticks, try to keep yourself free of fear, it should be fine.

What's more, he didn't enter the village in person to face Fiddlesticks, and if he encountered it, he would just cut off the drone connection and run away.

Even if he really can't run away and can't beat him, he can still shake people, can't he?

Zoe and Morgana, two protoss hosts with extraordinary celestial power, are his greatest reliance.

After careful consideration, Li Lin greeted Jarvan IV, and walked out of the camp to find the camp of the Isidore caravan, which was temporarily also by the river.

"May the God of Flying Wings protect you, may I ask who you are..."

Li Lin had already changed his battle armor, so Isidor did not recognize him.

"Li Lin from Gilaman's family is from Piltover." Li Lin explained with a slight smile, and re-transformed his clothes into armor and showed it to Isidore.

"You, you are the one next to His Royal Highness!" Isidor felt terrified, and hurriedly crossed his hands in front of his chest to salute, "May the guardian god of flying wings protect you, my lord."

"I'm just an ordinary mechanic and craftsman of the Piltover Gilaman family, so you don't need to call me an adult."

"You are too modest. Almost all businessmen in the Gilaman family have heard of it. It is a prestigious parliamentary family in Piltover, and basically has investments in all countries except Demacia.

"Especially that... the Hexgate? Azir's old bones, I heard that it is a great invention that uses technology to control magic and can travel around the world in just a few seconds. Isn't it Gilamann? Has it been researched by others?
"There is also your technology that can switch between armor and ordinary clothes at any time. Although I don't know how it works, it really opened my eyes!"

While talking excitedly, Isidor seemed to have thought of something, and immediately smiled bitterly, "Besides, you can become a craftsman of the Gilaman family and work with His Royal Highness Jarvan IV. I really dare not offend you too much."

He paused for a while, and continued to ask: "I wonder what you want from me? Could it be related to Hengfeng Village?"

"Yes, I want to ask you about Qin."

Li Lin projected a holographic image in front of Isidor, startling him and the others.

"Don't worry, it's not magic. It's a new technology from Piltover. It's a camera that uses the principle of a Hex camera. I invented it."

After a burst of exclamation from other people around, Li Lin looked back at Isidor after dealing with them, asked the people around him to leave temporarily, and then showed him the little girl captured by the drone this evening.

"You know..."

He didn't say a word, and Isidor took two steps back in horror as if he had seen a ghost.

"Oh my god! Flying Wing protector, this...is this Qin?!"

He rubbed his eyes several times, with a look of horror on his face, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "No, it's impossible...it's absolutely impossible! She's been dead for 3 years!"

"Calm down, Isidor."

Li Lin just wanted to put his hands on his shoulders to calm his agitated emotions, but Isidor jumped up from the wooden pier immediately and began to pack his things.

"This is a curse... Hengfeng Village is cursed! No wonder everyone disappeared..." He muttered blankly, "It's all caused by Ander and Natalie, it's all their fault!"

"Isidore..."

Regarding Isidor's muttering to himself, Li Lin couldn't help frowning even tighter.

He took two steps forward, his pair of powerful vise-like hands firmly restrained Isidor's shoulders, forcibly pulled his not-so-strong body back, and faced him face to face.

"What's going on? What did Ander do with Natalie and his wife?"

Li Lin raised his voice a little and shook Isidor.

Only in this way can a person who is in panic calm down quickly.

"He...they..." Isidore's lips trembled, "They touched the taboo! They snatched the souls of the dead from the hands of the Eternal Hunting Twins..."

"You mean, they were exposed to magic?" Li Lin paused for a moment, and then put it another way, "Is it a forbidden black magic? To revive their daughter?"

Ordinary people without magical talent are not necessarily unable to cast magic, but the price involved is simply unaffordable for ordinary people.

Seeing Isidor nodded anxiously, Li Lin let him go, "Where are you going next?"

"Hengfeng Village is already a cursed place, I won't go back again!" Isidor continued to pack his things, and shouted at the few people who were talking by the river: "Damn it! You guys, come back and pack up!" stuff, we're going back to Tobysia tonight"

The first one to come back was a woman who was about the same age as Isidor. She was his wife who went out of the village with him to do business.

She looked inexplicable, with a little displeasure in her tone, "Are you confused? You don't know how far Tobysia is from here, do you?"

"Then go to any other place where we can settle down, except the damn Hengfeng Village!"

He was a little anxious, and told the young man who was following the woman, "Hurry up, pack up, we can't stay here for long!"

"What happened, father?"

"The retribution of blaspheming death is coming!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the woman and the young man changed, they stopped talking nonsense, and hurriedly followed Xi Yiduo to pack up the camp that had just been set up not long ago.

While tidying up, Isidore looked up at Li Lin who was still standing there, and sighed: "Forgive us for our poor hospitality, Lord Li Lin...you should hurry up and tell His Royal Highness to leave this cursed land too. "

Li Lin stared at Isidor for a moment, then nodded silently in response, and left their camp.

He didn't go back to Jarvan IV for the time being, but came to the river, projecting the real-time footage of the drone in front of his eyes.

Just now, the brain shock reminded him that the drone should have found new clues.

When Li Lin switched his perspective, he found a drone staying in a slightly dilapidated yard on the edge of the village and flying towards the main house.

"Did you find anything?"

[The drone captured the "ghost" again just now, she glanced at the drone and gave a signal, then got into the room. 】

Li Lin's face suddenly became serious, "Are you sure...she gave the signal?"

[I am 100% sure, Master. 】

Zhinao replayed the pictures taken not long ago, and saw "Qin" bouncing and jumping on the dirt road and street without stirring up a little dust.

When she stopped in front of the courtyard where the drone was currently staying, her translucent face turned to the direction of the drone again, staring at the screen with her pair of empty eyes.

It was as if she could directly look at Li Lin on the screen.

Immediately afterwards, she stretched out her hand and hooked her fingers against the drone, and then entered the courtyard with ease, and got into the main house.

Li Lin stared at the playback screen and fell silent.

[This ghost, not as we guessed, has no autonomous consciousness. 】

"Well, I see it."

[She seems to be leading us into the house?shall we go in 】

"Be prepared to disconnect from this drone at any time."

【I understand. 】

The next moment, the drone hovering in the mid-air of the yard quickly changed shape, turning into a miniature mechanical engineer, and stopped in front of the dilapidated wooden window on the side of the main house.

It effortlessly pushed aside the already decayed wood covered with dark green moss, and got into the house.

Because the drone has its own night vision system, everything in the room is clearly displayed in front of Li Lin.

This is a bedroom, full of dust and cobwebs, as if it has been abandoned for a long time, and it doesn't look like someone has lived in it.

The furnishing here is very simple, only a double wooden window, a round table with drawers and a self-made wardrobe.

Looking at the layout of the house, this bedroom should be the owner's room.

Li Lin controlled the nanorobot to fly to the desk first, and there was nothing of value in the drawer except for some old parchment.

He wanted to control the robot to leave, but the words of Zhinao interrupted his thought.

[Master, the inner depth of the bottom drawer is different from that of the upper two drawers, there should be a mezzanine inside. 】

Li Lin switched the viewing angle to the scanning vision system, and found that the third drawer at the bottom of the table did indeed have a baffle that separated a small dark compartment.

Inside, it seems to be a relatively complete piece of parchment.

"Huh? This is?"

Li Lin suddenly had a bad feeling.

The nanorobot opened the partition with a small movement, then took out the parchment inside, and spread it on the table.

The text on it is very weird, somewhat similar to Demacian characters, but it is much more complicated.

At the bottom of the parchment, there is also a magic circle that looks like a hexagram at first glance, and there is also a strange but familiar key pattern.

[This is the ancient Demacian text. 】

Zhinao reminded.

[Although Demacia has only a few hundred years of history, the writing has undergone many evolutions before it has the current system. 】

"Translate to me the text above."

As Zhinao replaced the words on the parchment with modern Demacian, Li Lin couldn't help but gasp after a slight glance.

I saw the font on it, engraved like dark blood:

Ten kings, ten thrones;

Nine crowns, crowned on the head.

Alone, to dig a grave;

Only the crow is left, neither dead nor alive.
