Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

After Li Lin finished talking with Kassadin, the control arranged for Storm and Dawn to enter standby mode.

Then, as soon as they entered the tavern, they heard Cassiopeia's warm greeting: "Come on, Mr. Li, I'm waiting for you."

At a small round table in the corner, Cassiopeia and Sivir both held a glass of cold beer in their hands.

"Hey, what a hypocritical woman, it makes me sick." Kassadin muttered behind Li Lin, "I don't want to deal with such a Noxian, I'm going to the bar."

He pointed at the tavern owner, asked Li Lin for permission, and then walked over on his own.

Then, Li Lin kept a polite smile, walked to the two ladies and sat down.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Cassiopeia raised the wooden wine glass in her hand, pointed to the beer in front of Li Lin with her eyes, and said with a chuckle: "So those who are late will have to take a drink as punishment~~"

Li Lin opened [Digital Thinking] and quietly checked the properties of the beer with ice cubes in front of him.

It's just a normal cup of beer, with no special "addings".

"Okay, then I'll punish myself with a drink." He laughed, raised his glass and drank it down.

In an instant, the icy refreshment rushed straight to his head, dispelling his mental fatigue and the thirst that the hot summer had brought to his throat.

"Refreshing!" Cassiopeia praised.

She clinked the glasses with Sivir and drank the beer in their hands together.

After a glass of wine, the three of them gradually became familiar with each other.

Cassiopeia introduced Li Lin to Sivir, the leader of the Zhai Haro mercenary group, and told her various legendary stories.

Li Lin also introduced his identity as an outstanding craftsman of the Gila Mann family to the two, and also told the origins of the power armor he wore and the storm robot outside.

Of course, many details were hidden by him.

For example, he actually fled to Piltover to escape the war.

The Du Couture family was also the main force in advocating the invasion of Noxus.

Although their main target is not Ionia, but Shurima.

But in order to avoid trouble, Li Lin was still not prepared to get involved in war matters.

"I never expected that Mr. Li would have such outstanding achievements in the field of Hex Technology."

A look of admiration appeared on Cassiopeia's delicate face, she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and said in surprise.

"Just call me Li Lin, Miss Du Cacao." Li Lin took a sip of the cold beer that had just been poured by the boss. "Speaking of which, you are the first person to call me by my last name correctly."

"After all, I am a descendant of a noble family. I need to know something about the culture of each country."

Cassiopeia chuckled and said, "Don't call me Mademoiselle du Cecchio, it sounds too harsh. You can call me Cassiopeia or Oppa."

Her light brown eyes curved into crescent moons, and there was a sense of teasing in her words, which made Li Lin and Sivir shudder in unison.

What a disgusting woman.

Sivir, who basically didn't interrupt, glanced at Cassiopeia briefly and took a sip of the beer in the glass.

Can you please stop talking to me in such a coy tone...

Li Lin had no interest at all in this beautiful woman who wanted to seduce him.

The snake-hearted Cassiopeia, who was cursed by the emperor's tomb and turned into a half-human, half-snake monster, is really suitable for you.

He cursed in his heart, but still kept a polite smile on his face, "Then I'll call you Cassiopeia."

Under the leadership of Cassiopeia, the two talked about many things about Piltover.

From astronomy to geography, it even involves the field of Hex technology.

Li Lin couldn't help but be amazed at the knowledge reserve of the second lady of the Du Kecao family.

Fortunately, I have the blessing of [digital thinking] and have read many books, otherwise I would not be able to talk to this noble girl.

Moreover, Cassiopeia spoke very well and always inadvertently asked about Li Lin's power armor, especially the aerial robots Storm and Dawn.

However, Li Lin, who has also been in the upper-class aristocratic circle for a long time, will not be fooled by such ordinary people.

He would always talk about other topics and never mention these inventions at all.

This man is really difficult to deal with...

Cassiopeia kept smiling on the outside, but actually her heart sank.

This was the first time she saw a man like Li Lin who didn't covet her beauty at all.

Just like when I accepted the "Black Rose" mission and dealt with Noxus and Shuriman noble men in Uzeris, I could draw away their souls with a hook of my fingers...

Seeing that using beauty and clichés didn't work, Cassiopeia immediately changed her mind.

"By the way, Li Lin, you came to Nashra to beautify so many craftsmen this time. Are you planning to do something big?"

As if she was afraid that Li Lin would misunderstand something, Cassiopeia immediately added: "Of course, I'm just curious... If it's confidential, it's okay not to say anything."

Hearing her question, Sivir, who had been drinking beside them, had a flash of light in his eyes, and he raised his ears and listened carefully.

"It's not a secret, it's Piltover's new technology."

Anyway, those congressmen are also preparing to build the Hex Flying Gate there after Noxus stabilizes, and construction is about to begin on Nasramei. This matter cannot be hidden.

But this is just one of the reasons...

Li Lin thought for a moment and simply introduced them to them:

“The craftsmen of our Gilaman family have recently developed a device that can teleport over long distances, which can span thousands of kilometers in just tens of seconds.

"This mechanical device is called the Hex Flying Gate. We are here to discuss with Governor Saga where to build it."

Hex flying door?

Super long distance teleportation? !

Isn't this something that magic can do?

Cassiopeia and Sivir's eyes flashed with shock at the same time, thinking that Li Lin was bragging.

But when they noticed the serious expression on the young craftsman's face, they realized that his statement might not be a lie.

Li Lin could see the shock in the two people's hearts, and the corner of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

"At that time, the Hex Flying Gates will be built in Shurima, Noxus, Demacia, Bilgewater and Ionia, and the speed of economic circulation and trade between all city-states will be greatly improved! "

Then whoever wants to use it will have to pay you a lot of taxes, right?

Cassiopeia felt very solemn in her heart.

Since the Myrdalda family in Piltover has participated in the research of this Hex technology, even if Noxus introduces this technology later, it will not be the Du Cacao family's turn to participate.

After all, Myrdalda still has a branch family in Noxus, a family controlled by that old woman...

We have to find a way to pry the so-called "Hex Flying Door" technology out of this guy's mouth.

Thinking of this, Cassiopeia's eyes returned to Li Lin, and the smile on her face became even bigger.

However, Sivir had another idea in his mind:

If Nasramei can really build such a device, there will only be more and more people from all over the world exploring Shurima.

At that time, I will have to consider how to expand the mercenary group's business. Wouldn't it be possible to earn more gold coins...

Sivir's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Lin with various emotions in his eyes.

You have to build a good relationship with this guy. If you can win his favor, you won't have to worry about it in the future.

Feeling the burning gazes of the two, Li Lin just kept smiling and drank his beer silently.

What Cassiopeia and Sivir have in mind can be guessed by Li Lin, who knows their backgrounds and personalities.

Of course, the reason why he revealed the "Hex Flying Gate" to the two of them in advance was because he had his own ideas.

The first is to use this technology to seduce Cassiopeia, so that she will subsequently agree to accompany herself and Kassadin with them.

Secondly, Li Lin wanted to use this to establish a good relationship with Sivir, a member of the royal family with the blood of Azir, the last emperor of the Shurima Empire.

After Azir was resurrected and became a warrior of the gods again, his relationship with Sivir was the key to his communication with this aloof emperor.

After giving the two of them enough time to think about it, Li Lin began to take the lead in the topic, deliberately making insinuations about their plans.

“Although the heads of the families in Piltover believe that Governor Saga of Nashrame is capable of protecting our property, the level of security here is not as good as that of Piltover…

Li Lin's eyes lingered on Sivir intentionally or unintentionally, without hiding his intention.

"If possible, can I ask Captain Sivir to send someone to protect our craftsmen? Of course money is not an issue."

"...This?" Sivir looked a little embarrassed and looked at Cassiopeia.

She has a limited number of mercenaries, only a few dozen.

Most of them parted ways with the Zhai Haro mercenary group long before she left the former leader, Aiha Zhai Haro, in the middle of the desert to die.

This time Cassiopeia hired more than 20 of them, almost their main force.

As for the remaining manpower, it is no longer enough to provide protection for Li Lin's craftsmen.

"Unfortunately, Captain Sivir has been hired by us." Cassiopeia said with an apologetic expression on her face.

She looked Li Lin up and down, then glanced at Kassadin sitting at the bar, and asked in a curious tone:

"I think you have this kind of armor and the floating robot outside. It's more than enough to protect the craftsmen, right?"

After waiting for you for so long, you finally took the bait and asked this question.

"I have other things." Li Lin stopped his smile and pointed at Kassadin, "I want to go south with my friend and go back to his hometown. I have to take those mechanical devices with me."

It allows Li Lin to build similar power armor and allows him to return to his hometown together. They must have a good relationship...

Cassiopeia thought about it in her mind, and then asked: "Going south? I wonder where his hometown is? Maybe we can drop by and go together to take care of him."

Sivir glanced at the noble lady, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he was surprised by her choice.

But Cassiopeia was her employer after all, so it was her business to add as many people as she wanted to the expedition, and she had no control over it.

Sivir shook his head and continued to drink in silence.

"That's great. I'm worried that I have no other choice except Commander Sivir's mercenary group."

Li Lin raised his beer and toasted Cassiopeia, and then told her his itinerary.

Cassiopeia was very happy to hear that their routes for the first half of the journey were basically the same, "Just in time, we can escort you to the ruins of the City of the Sun."

She asked her boss to fill up three more glasses, then raised her wine glasses and touched them lightly, "Then... are you happy to work together?"

Li Lin's brown-black eyes flashed across their faces, and he chuckled: "It's a pleasure to cooperate, and I will take care of you for the rest of the journey..."
