Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 358 Can You Hear My Voice? !
After Jiawen III's introduction, Li Lin had a general understanding of the composition of the great nobles who could follow the king.

In addition to King Jarvan III who is at the top of Demacia's power, under the royal power, there are also 8 major national management powers, and the Council of Eight is composed of 8 nobles.

They are the Crownguard family in charge of the military, with Tiana Crownguard as the supreme army leader and the Grand Marshal of Demacia.

In charge of the Demon Seeker Association, which is independent of politics and military affairs, and is headed by Eldred Crownguard, who is married to Tiana of the Crownguard family, and can actually be said to be a married woman.

The Harlan family, which manages the authority of the country's nobility, is ruled by the head of the family, Wallis Harlan.

The Fitch family, which manages the country's treasury and economic authority, is headed by the head of the family, Borg Fitch.

The Cartel family, which manages the country's foreign and diplomatic affairs, is ruled by Karami Carter, the legitimate daughter of the current head of the family.

The Omar family, which manages the country's land resources, is ruled by Clement Omar, the legitimate son of the current owner.

The Zachary family, which manages the establishment and enforcement of national laws, is headed by the head of the family, Newman Zachary.

Finally, there is Isabel, the leader of the Church of the Illuminators.

She does not belong to any family member. She was adopted by the church as an orphan since she was a child. She practiced discipline and penance, and finally took over the position of the previous leader who had returned to Qian Jue's embrace to manage the sect.

In addition to them, Jiawen III also introduced to Li Lin the family members who were with these people.

For example, Barrett's wife Le Stara, who is a little older, can still see the beauty of her youth through the present.

There is also their own daughter, Kashina, who is holding Sona's arm, has shoulder-length black hair, and also has a delicate face, but looks a lot muscular. She looks like her own daughter Kashina who often practices martial arts.

However, most of them were the wives or husbands of these nobles in power. There was only one Wallis Harlan like Barrett who brought his own children.

Li Lin maintained his etiquette, and after the king's introduction, he greeted each dignitary separately.

Perhaps she knew the identity of Zoe Twilight Protoss, but if she looked around without saying a word, she seemed very "rude".

These people also ignored her on purpose, and they didn't dare to linger on her too much.

Li Lin, on the other hand, can probably tell how these people treat him based on their responses.

Tiana, Borg Fitch, and Newman Zachary, who are in charge of the treasury economy and national law respectively, all look cold, which should be due to their personality.

The eyes of Clemenster Omar and Wallis Harlan, who are in charge of land resources and nobles respectively, shone with disdain, as if they were ashamed and indignant that foreigners like Li Lin could be appointed officials and nobles .

Also, Camilla Carter, who is in charge of foreign teachers, is an "expression management teacher". Just from her demeanor, I can't tell what she is thinking in her heart, which is deeply hidden.

Isabel, the leader of the Illuminator, has always maintained a polite and kind smile, giving people a peaceful feeling like a spring breeze.

However, through Li Lin's sensitivity to magic power, he could faintly perceive the hidden magic power fluctuations in her body.

Besides, what surprised Li Lin most was that it was actually Eldred.

This middle-aged man, who is slightly thin and thin, with a few strands of gray in his back combed hair, looks quite aristocratic and gentlemanly at first glance, but he is actually the most enthusiastic among these people.

After the king introduced them to each other, Eldred took the lead in asking questions, and talked about the bravery of His Royal Highness the frontline prince.

His caring implicit warmth and kind smile even gave Li Lin a subconscious illusion that this middle-aged man was like an elder who cared about his younger generation, not as bad as he imagined.

If it can be ruled out that Li Lin felt chills and disgusted, it can be seen at a glance that it is a "fake smile"...

Noticing the eyes of Jarvan IV, Tiana, and Barrett, Li Lin politely and casually dealt with Eldred a few words.

As if aware that this Ionian youth didn't want to talk to him, a haze flashed in Eldred's eyes.

Afterwards, he continued to maintain a false enthusiastic smile, talking and laughing with Newman, the Minister of Law, and Wallis, the minister who managed the nobility, and went to the other side.

"There are about two hours before the banquet starts, during this period is free time, you can get to know the outstanding young talents of Demacia."

Jarvan III ended the conversation with Li Lin with a smile, and asked Jarvan IV to entertain Li Lin well, and then respectfully invited Morgana to go deep into the hall and talk to her about important matters.

At this time, Barrett and Lestara came forward with their two daughters.

Just now, Jarvan III only focused on introducing Le Stara. After all, she was the woman who dared to come to the Hall of Valor to accuse the king of inaction when the king had just succeeded to the throne.

It was that time that Le Stara made Barrett fall in love with her at first sight, and also made the king slightly change the policy of governing the country, focusing on the people.

"Come, come, Li Lin, let me introduce my two daughters to you."

Barrett pushed Sona and Kasina in front of him, "This is Lestara and I's eldest daughter, Kasina, and this is our youngest daughter, Sona."

Although Sona was adopted by Bouvier, Barrett never mentioned this identity when introducing her to the outside world. They had already regarded her as their own daughter.

Kashina gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt and made a noble salute, "May the winged protector protect you, Mr. Li."

"May the God of Flying Wings protect you too, Miss Kashina, just call me Li Lin."

"You can also call me Kashina directly." She smiled and nodded in response.

Standing behind Kashina half a step behind, Sona, who looked a bit shy, was holding the packing box containing Huahua, half bent her knees and lowered her eyes, and bowed to him, pursing her lips a little nervously.

Just when Li Lin was about to return the gift, an ethereal and clear voice of a girl suddenly came to his ears...

No, to be precise, it sounded in his mind: "It seems that Mr. Li is also an Ionian like me."

Li Lin looked at Sona in astonishment, but this shy girl still kept her gaze downcast, completely unaware of what happened.

"Hey, when can I go back to Ionia again?"

She said to herself in her heart.

Barrett's deep pupils caught a glimpse of Li Lin staring at Sona's expression, thinking that he thought it was impolite for Sona to salute with a wooden box in her arms without saying hello, so he quickly explained;
"The child Sona has congenital aphasia, and what is contained in this box is a guqin, which has been with her since she was a child, almost inseparable...

"If there is any disrespect, I hope you will forgive me a lot."

"You misunderstood, Lord Barrett." Li Lin's mind turned rapidly, and he quickly thought of a reason, "Actually, I should be rude...Miss Sona is like a fairy who has fallen into the world and has a closed moon shame. The beauty took me off my feet, I'm so sorry."

Hearing Li Lin describe herself in this way, Sona's cherry lips parted slightly, and surprise appeared on her silent face.

She raised her head and took a quick look at Li Lin, just in time to meet his dark brown pupils, and then her cheeks flushed a little, and she quickly missed the intertwined eyes with him.

Knowing that Li Lin was stunned because of this, Barrett couldn't help laughing, "Everyone has a love for beauty, it seems that even our hero can't resist Sona's charm!"

Sona's little face turned even redder, and she awkwardly leaned half of her body behind Kashina.

Le Stara next to him poked him secretly with reproachful eyes, as if complaining about his "nonsense".

"Speaking of which, our Sona has reached the age to talk about marriage, right?" Jarvan IV found Sona's shy expression very interesting, and asked as if "booing" from the side, "And Kashina So does the lady."

"Instead of worrying about me and Sona, you might as well think about your marriage first, Your Highness!"

Kashina folded her arms and hummed softly, dragging out her tone, "tit for tat" with Jarvan IV verbally.

Because Barrett and Jarvan III are siblings, Kashina is naturally very familiar with Jarvan IV. They often played and studied together in the palace when they were young, so there is no need to be polite.

But Jarvan IV didn't care about these things, so Lestara didn't necessarily: "Kashina, pay attention to etiquette in public, how can you talk to His Royal Highness like this?"

There was blame in her words.

No matter how good the relationship is in private, this is the king's dinner and the prince's celebration banquet. Even if there are no other people around, the etiquette and the relationship between dignity and inferiority must be clear.

Kashina turned her face slightly, curled her lips at an angle that Le Stara couldn't see, then glared at Jarvan IV who was "gloating" on the opposite side, and said nothing.

"Father, really, how could you say that about me, His Royal Highness is actually like this... Sigh."

At this time, Li Lin listened to all the voices echoing in Sona's heart, "I'm only 17 years old this year, so it's too early to talk about marriage..."

Thinking of getting married, Sona's cheeks couldn't help becoming hotter, showing a shy look.

In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings with Sona, Li Lin racked his brains, and finally concentrated, carefully trying to use his thoughts to build a bridge to communicate with her.

It's just that after trying for a long time, he couldn't make Sona hear his voice.

Although Li Lin has mastered the basics of rune technology, there is no way for people to communicate through "magic sound transmission".

It seems that this "communication of ideas" is just an ability that Sona unilaterally and inadvertently displayed.

In desperation, Li Lin was going to temporarily give up the idea of ​​communicating with her through mind-to-heart communication, and waited for the meeting to be free before apologizing.

But with a melody that only he could hear, which made his heart fluctuate suddenly, Sona on the opposite side raised her head and looked at him in amazement.

"Yuhua... actually resonated with him?"

Sona was shocked.

"What resonance? With me?"

As soon as this idea came to Li Lin's mind, Sona's expression became even more astonished behind Kashina.

"You can actually hear my voice?!"
