Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

Time passed quickly, and before long, almost all the guests in the reception hall had arrived.

The Giraman family sent invitations to almost every named family in the northern city of Piltover.

However, there are space restrictions after all, and the number of people from each family who can participate in the coming-of-age ceremony for the daughter of the Congressman's family is limited.

Basically, the head of the family brings one to three outstanding descendants of the family out to see the world, or intentionally tells them to build a good relationship with certain families.

There were probably more than two hundred guests gathered in the reception hall of Gila Mann's side house, which could easily accommodate hundreds of people.

In addition to the busy comings and goings of servants entertaining guests, there were almost more than 500 people, making it seem a bit crowded.

But even so, the entire hall is divided into two parts.

A group of young juniors gathered together in groups of two and three, chatting with each other, located on one side of the hall.

On the other side are the heads of the major families, complimenting each other, toasting to socialize, and connecting with each other.

Caitlin's father, Elro, was among them, entertaining several councilors.

Mel and Jess stood together, located in a relatively peripheral position over there. From time to time, they smiled and talked to the familiar heads of the small families who came to greet Mel, and they raised their glasses and took a sip of champagne.

The time has not yet come, and neither Lady Karina nor Caitlin appeared.

Li Lin sat boredly on a chair by the wall for guests to rest, dealing perfunctorily with the girls from other families who came to chat with him and had "plots" against him.

Not long after, as the Levi's clock in the corner of the reception hall rang its first chime, the noisy crowd instantly fell silent.

When the eighth long chime of the clock faded, the auditorium faced the luxurious door opposite, and the curtain of the high platform in the center of the end was lifted.

Mrs. Karina, who was wearing a custom-made evening gown by Gila Marne, walked to the center of the stage where the Hex microphone was placed with a smile on her face, calmly and gracefully.

She turned on the microphone and tried the sound test first, then waved to the servant operating the Hex spotlight in the control room on one side.

As the alchemical technology chandelier on the ceiling of the hall gradually dimmed, all the spotlights focused on Karina on the stage, attracting the attention of everyone present.

She cleared her throat first, then showed her signature smile and said:

"May the gears turn in the right direction, dear guests, friends and family, as we gather tonight to celebrate the coming of age of my daughter, Caitlin Gilaman, on her eighteenth name day.

"First of all, on behalf of everyone at Gila Mann, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for coming..."

Mrs. Karina recited the speech she had memorized in advance, and her powerful voice echoed throughout the hall through the Hex speaker.

"Thank you all again for coming and I hope you all have a great time tonight."

After the last sentence was finished, she waved her hand to the control room again.

As the light of the spotlights dimmed, the mechanical gears on the ceiling turned, and all the spotlights turned to a double door on one side.

Over there is the passage leading from the corridor of the main house to this side. There are two maids with lowered eyebrows and respectful expressions standing on both sides of the door.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes were focused there.

When the dim light moved to the door, they took a step forward in unison, grasped the door handles on both sides of the door, and slowly opened it.

With a few crisp sounds of high heels touching the smooth marble floor, a beautiful figure stepped out of the corridor and stood under the spotlight.

Caitlin wore light but delicate makeup, with a slightly raised corner of her mouth and a polite smile. Her purple hair, which was often spread over her shoulders, was tied back with a hairpin.

Tonight, she wore a bustier, sleeveless, backless banquet dress with ancient blue as the main color and dark purple as the secondary color. The chest and skirt were lined with white ruffles, highlighting her sporty figure. Perfect S-shaped figure.

An aristocratic purple velvet bow tie was tied on her slender and beautiful neck like a swan, a pair of lace translucent white gloves extended to her forearms, and her petite and slender feet stepped on a brown-gray evening gift specially tailored for her. In high heels.

Coupled with her innate flawless appearance, she gives people the impression of a goddess who fell from the stars into the mortal world, which no one dares to blaspheme.

Caitlin turned her face slightly, and her beautiful sapphire eyes quickly scanned the crowd, as if she was looking for something.

"Kate." Karina on the stage called her softly.

Caitlin's thoughts quickly returned to reality, she smiled at her mother on the stage, and then slightly lifted the sides of her skirt with her hands.

As the spotlight shone on her, she walked to the stage with elegant steps. The two maids who opened the door clasped their hands in front of them, lowered their eyes and followed her not too far away.

Standing next to her mother, her eyes still quickly scanned the crowd.

When Mrs. Karina announced the start of the second stage of the dinner, Caitlin caught a figure on the edge of the crowd. Her eyes were slightly bent, almost narrowing into a crescent moon, and the smile on her face was even wider.

In the audience, Li Lin, who was standing outside the crowd, kept focusing on Caitlin.

When they looked at each other, the girl's eyes showed a strange light, as if there was still the anger of Si Xu being teased in the afternoon, and she immediately looked away.

Time passed quickly, and when the elders gave Caitlin gifts and expressed their blessings one by one, under Karina's arrangement, all the older generations exited in an orderly manner and went to another hall dedicated to entertaining them.

As the musicians of the Gila Mann family played a beautiful and harmonious melody, and under the orderly arrangements of the housekeeper, the young people of the same generation began to send carefully prepared gifts and blessings to the protagonist of today's coming-of-age ceremony.

The gifts given by the descendants of each family are different.

The master key presented by Jess, the small fully automatic mechanical pet dog made by himself and added with Li Lin's "auxiliary chip" presented by Victor, and a priceless exquisite bracelet presented by Mel.

Compared with other family members of the same generation, Jace's master key can be regarded as a mid-range gift...

Caitlin kept a polite smile and thanked each one, and asked the servant behind her to put the gifts away.

Soon, a young man from a branch of the Myrdalda family who looked to be in his early 20s, with his hair slicked back like Jess and a confident smile on his face, came forward with a beautiful gift box in his hand.

"The gears of the circle are turning, Miss Gila Mann. May all happiness accompany you. Looking up is spring and bowing down is autumn. May all joy follow you. The full moon is poetry and the waning moon is painting. Birthday hapiness!"

He gently opened the gift box, and found a very delicate necklace made of gold and flawless multicolored gemstones lying quietly on the soft cloth.

Against the backdrop of the dim light of the alchemy chandelier, the gems are faintly flowing with strange colors, as if embedded with smooth tassels, which is very stunning.

"This is a necklace enchanted with magic. I specially commissioned it to be made by the best craftsmen in Myrdalda. I traveled thousands of miles to beg a reclusive mage to enchant it with 'charm' magic.

"I think it suits you very well. If you wear it, it will not only make your charm more extraordinary, but also highlight your unique and unparalleled temperament."

The young Midarda's voice gradually fell, and the people in the auditorium who had remained quiet were in an uproar.

"It turns out to be a magic item..."

“Gosh, it must be expensive, right?”

"He's really good at it."

"It seems that the Myrdalda family wants to join forces with the Gila Mann family?"

"..."

Listening to the exclamations of everyone in the audience, Caitlin glanced in a certain direction, with a trace of imperceptible worry flashing in her eyes.

"Can I put it on for you?"

The young man from Medalda bowed slightly and gave Caitlin a standard aristocratic courtesy.

"I'm sorry, you have someone else to give gifts to later." She declined with an apologetic smile.

"Huh?" A trace of doubt flashed across the young man's face.

It was obvious that all the young people from the major families that he knew had given away gifts and had delayed them as far as possible. Who else would line up behind him?

He thought briefly for a moment, then gave Caitlin a gentlemanly salute, "I was rude."

Then, he slowly stepped down.

At this time, a young man wearing a custom-made tuxedo from the Gila Mann family and holding an equally exquisite gift box passed him by.

The young man from Medalda raised his eyebrows, stopped, and looked back at Li Lin, who was walking towards the stage.

Looking at the familiar person slowly walking on stage, Caitlin's beautiful eyes were filled with thoughts, and the polite smile on her face gradually turned into joy and expectation.

"Sorry, I came up late." Li Lin said softly with a faint smile on his face.

"It's just the right time to make your debut, isn't it?"
