Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

At 12:15, Li Lin, Fandel, Benso and Sevika brought several strong and burly men to the plant cultivation center area in the upper level of Zaun.

The meeting place agreed upon by the alchemist barons was a clock tower-like building.

It is mainly made of steel grids, with huge dark green floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The walls occasionally have several copper-colored mechanical gears of different sizes exposed at the base, which rotate slowly day and night.

The group of people took the external elevator and went all the way to the top of the building.

Exiting the iron gate of the elevator, there is a corridor with floor-to-ceiling glass decorated with Zaun-style bronze patterns on both sides.

At the end of the corridor, outside a double brown-red door, there were at least 20 Shamat gangsters with various decorations.

They chatted and slapped in groups of twos and threes, while some of the less gregarious guys sat in a corner away from the crowd, playing with weapons such as daggers and darts in their hands.

Among them, there are many enhanced people who have been transformed by alchemical technology, and some parts of their bodies have been replaced with machines.

As soon as they saw Li Lin, Fandel and his entourage, more than twenty people fell silent for an instant, their eyes focused on them with different expressions.

However, most people's eyes stayed on Li Lin for more time.

When everyone came to the door, Fandel told Benso, Sevika and several other subordinates to stay outside and not to conflict with these people.

Then, Fandel took the lead, pushed open the door and walked straight into the hall, followed closely by Li Lin, who was wearing the armor of the "Infinite" Source Project.

There were nine people in the room, and two maids dressed as servants were taking care of a woman in a wheelchair who looked very weak.

Multiple amplification devices filled with alchemical potions and connected by conduits were implanted in her body.

Hearing the sound of the door, everyone who was discussing something in the room fell silent.

After seeing clearly who was coming, a man with a yin-yang punk hairstyle, a yellow leather jacket with metal studs, and an open chest and chest sitting directly opposite the door said:

"Fander, you're late."

His voice was a bit like a smoky voice, hoarse and deep, and he was playing with a golden flip lighter in his hand.

Li Lin squinted his eyes and took a closer look at the man who killed Matt, whom everyone seemed to be heading.

His face, half of his shaved head, and chest are covered in black tattoos similar to those of the Bilgewater Bajru.

An implantable alchemical technology-enhanced metal jaw plate was installed on his chin.

Combined with the pair of eyes that are not too big but have a hint of ruthlessness, it gives people a feeling that they are not easy to mess with.

On the way here, Fandel gave Li Lin a general introduction to the five alchemy barons he knew.

The person who spoke was Finn, who was in charge of the border market.

"It's only been less than 20 minutes...and you're still so impatient after all these years, Finn."

Fandel didn't seem to hear the dissatisfaction in Finn's tone, and walked to the other end of the long table opposite him, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Li Lin also found a chair from one side and sat next to Fander, causing the expressions of the alchemist barons present to change.

When Fandel and Finn had their first secret verbal confrontation, Li Lin's eyes quickly swept over everyone.

The first person on Finn's right was a brown-haired yordle wearing a top hat and a tuxedo.

He is in charge of Barrit, the School of Thaumaturgy and Magic.

Sitting next to Barrit was a woman whose nose had been transformed into an alchemical technology amplification device, connected to two conduits that transported green liquid, and a metal plate was installed on her chin.

This is the alchemist Baron Eni from the Plant Cultivation Center.

Sitting next to Rini was a woman wearing a mink coat, whose left arm had been transformed into a blade that resembled the arm of Edward Scissorhands, and a chilling smile on her face.

The image of the woman sitting opposite her in the wheelchair does not match Fander's description. She should be the newly minted alchemist Baron Voss and Mrs. Lanner that Severka mentioned.

As for the woman on Finn's left with smoky makeup and many piercings on her face, and the man beside her who looks sickly and pale, as if he has overindulged, they are Bonnie, who monopolizes the Zaun Cabaret, and Lang, who is in charge of Xutai Plaza. Ferro.

Except for Voss and Lannar, the other four old acquaintances of Fandel looked at Finn from time to time, as if he was the leader of this meeting.

After Li Lin observed everyone and looked away, Fandel had almost finished greeting several alchemy barons with false affection.

"Let's get down to business, Fandel. What are you planning to do with us?" Rini looked slightly uneasy, glanced at Li Lin next to Fandel, and then asked.

Immediately afterwards, Barrit, a yordle man, answered: "Yes, you guys have a lot of business on hand, and every minute you waste is money."

"We are not like you who stay in a safe dark alley every day, and someone pays you a share every month. We have to rely on ourselves for food and drink."

Bonnie lit a cigarette, took a puff, and blew out a smoke ring. Although his face was charming, his voice was cold.

As if they had discussed it in advance, the three of them took the lead in verbally attacking Fandel.

Fandel, who should have been thinking about his old relationship, saw their attitude, and his warm heart gradually cooled down.

"What? As brothers and sisters who have worked hard together until now, don't you even want to see each other now?" He said in a low voice and looked unhappy.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was gradually developing in an uncontrollable direction, Longfellow hurriedly smoothed things over, "Hahaha, yes, of course I do. The boss's business is our business."

Finn snorted slightly to express his impatience, "So Fander, what happened, do we still need to have a meeting to talk about it?"

With a flip of his fingers, he closed the lid of the lighter that lit the flame, lowered his legs on the table, leaned forward, and stared directly at Fander.

Originally, Finn's questioning and behavior just now were extremely disrespectful.

Fandel was already filled with anger in his heart, but when he was provoked like this, his temper suddenly spiked, "For the development of Zaun, is this enough?"

He slapped the table with a gloomy face and his voice became even duller.

The conference hall fell into silence for a moment.

Bang bang bang...

A few claps broke the silence in the room.

The one who clapped was Rannar, who had been silent before.

A forced smile appeared on her sallow face, as if all her strength had been exhausted.

"For the development of Zaun... I haven't heard this sentence in several years."

Mrs. Voss, who was opposite Lannar, chuckled in a hoarse voice, "I originally thought that the leader of Zaan, known as the Black Hound, had been frightened by the attack on the city. I didn't expect you to still remember your dream?"

Her tone and the content of her words sounded like mockery at first, and Fandel's face suddenly darkened.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm used to talking like this, and I can't change it for a while." Voss noticed Fandel's expression and explained with a smile.

This woman comes with bad intentions...

The other people present suddenly had this idea in their minds.

However, Finn and Bonnie had teasing smiles on their faces, as if they were happy to see Fander looking deflated.

But Enie, Barritt and Longfellow's expressions were not very good.

Even if they are dissatisfied with Fandel's leadership, they will not allow an outsider to interfere with their internal affairs.

"Aren't you the children of Zu'an?" Li Lin took the lead and asked before Fandel could get angry.

Several alchemy barons were stunned for a moment, and their eyes turned to Li Lin sitting next to Fander.

"Hey, this iron lump is not a robot, isn't it?" Finn flexibly turned the lighter with his fingers, "Fander, are you the successor you trained?"

Then, with a sharp look in his eyes, he changed the topic and said, "It seems that he still has a lot to learn, such as... don't interrupt when adults are talking."

"Hmph! Finn, you..."

The angry Fandel had just finished speaking when he felt his shoulder being gently pressed by a hand.

He turned around differently, "Li Lin? What are you..."

"Let me tell you." Li Lin's mechanical voice came from the mask.

Then, he slowly stood up and controlled "Infinite" to enter the [Overload Charging] state.

For a moment, a blue light suddenly appeared on the power armor.

Seeing that something was wrong, several alchemist barons were startled and put themselves on alert.

"What... do you still want to take action?" Finn stood up suddenly and took out an alchemy pistol from his arms.

But before both parties could take action, the door creaked again, and a lean man with one eye like a demon walked straight in.

Outside the door behind him, Benso, who was swearing angrily, Servica, who was cold-faced, and Fandel's men were all stopped by the strong men brought by the man.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" The man chuckled and said hello to everyone present.

"Hilko..."
