Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

The drawing room of the main house of Gila Mann.

Li Lin and Caitlin, who had taken off their power armor, were sitting on the sofa, waiting for the servant to ask Mrs. Karina to come over.

A few minutes later, the door to the living room rang softly.

As soon as Mrs. Karina entered the door, her pair of blue eyes that were exactly the same as Caitlin's pupils flickered, and her gaze briefly rested on the two people who were sitting close to each other on the sofa and chatting.

Her eyebrows raised slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Mother!"

"Lady Karina."

Hearing the movement at the door, Li Lin and Caitlin stood up at the same time and said hello to Karina.

"Yeah." Karina responded softly.

She slowly walked to sit across from the two of them, and gestured for them to sit down together.

Immediately, Karina turned her eyes to Li Lin and said, "You are so anxious to call me here. Is there a new invention?"

"No, Li Lin has other things to do." A slightly excited Caitlin said first.

In the end, Li Lin couldn't resist Caitlin's interrogation like a "prisoner".

On the way to the workshop to take off his power armor and then return to the living room of the main house, he told Caitlin about his experience in the trench and explained his thoughts.

As Li Lin expected, "I want to go too" was her first reaction...

However, Caitlin felt that her mother would not agree with this very dangerous and not very beneficial approach.

Eradicating the power of an alchemist baron is not a simple matter, it requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

This is one of the main reasons why Piltover has allowed the local snakes of Zaun to develop on their own over the years.

Another factor is that after the "Day of Ashes" incident, the people in power in Piltover believed that Zaun posed no threat at all and did not pay attention to the alchemy barons at all.

But Caitlin also said that she would help Li Lin get her mother to agree.

As for what method...

Facing Karina's surprised gaze, Caitlin stood up and sat next to her, then put her arms around her arms and hugged her into her arms.

"Mom~~"

The corner of Karina's mouth twitched slightly, and then she frowned, showing an expression of headache.

"Okay Kate, didn't I teach you how to be polite in front of outsiders?"

"But Li Lin is not an outsider~~" Caitlin smiled sweetly, and then blinked her left eye at the slightly confused Li Lin opposite.

"Ahem..." After reacting, Li Lin cleared his throat, and then spoke to Karina solemnly, "Ms. Karina, I once said my wish, do you still remember?"

"Of course, you hope for world peace."

Karina gave him an annoyed look and raised her voice:

"You still dare to suggest what happened at the meeting, because you think my attitude towards you has improved recently, so you want to slap it on your nose?"

"I don't dare. I just want to say that you can't be too ambitious and have too little talent. No matter what you do, you have to do it step by step..."

Li Lin's roundabout words and Caitlin's "coquettishness" on the side made Karina a little unbearable.

"Just tell me what you want to do, and I will try my best to help you."

She pulled her arms out of Caitlin's arms and said in a somewhat impatient tone:

"And Kate, I will be angry if you do this again. Really, you are so old and still acting like a little girl..."

"Huh, I haven't held a coming-of-age ceremony yet."

Caitlin playfully stuck out her tongue at Karina, then moved back to sit next to Li Lin.

Karina shook her head helplessly, her eyes meeting with the young man in front of her: "Let's get back to the subject, what dangerous thing are you planning to do this time?"

Li Lin glanced sideways at Caitlin, who was looking at his mother with a smile on her face, and recalled in his mind how she had just taught him how to talk to Karina about this matter.

He took a deep breath slowly and said slowly: "This afternoon, something happened when I went to supervise the construction of the ditch in Zu'an..."

In two or three minutes, Li Lin quickly told Karina about the incident where Alchemy Baron Takeda sent people to find trouble and the conflict broke out with him.

Among them, he focused on the provocative content of the other party. According to Caitlin, he added a little more fuel and jealousy, adding Baron Takeda Alchemy's contempt for the Gila Mann family.

Sure enough, as long as the Gila Mann family is involved, Karina's temper suddenly rises:

"It's so lawless! How dare a mere alchemist baron covet our family's property?!"

Li Lin is a member of the Gila Mann family. The construction of the tidal energy power station used the Gila Mann family's money, and of course it is also considered the Gila Mann family's industry.

In fact, even if Li Lin did not add fuel to the fire as Caitlin taught, Karina would not allow such behavior that harmed the interests of the Gila Mann family.

"What are you going to do? Do you want me to send law enforcement officers to seize that person...Takeda? Yes, let the law enforcement officers seize his property and give him a warning?"

Mrs. Karina took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

Li Lin was slightly startled, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Suddenly, he felt a poke on his waist, so he hurriedly continued: "To be precise, I am planning to completely wipe out his power..."

…

…

On the lower floor of Zaun's middle-level square, there is a relatively remote dojo with an Ionian warrior style.

A middle-aged strong man wearing a black traditional samurai uniform sat in the middle of the dojo with his eyes closed, bathing in the smoky incense specially imported from Ionia and meditating.

In front of him was a table, on which was placed a sword enshrined with incense and inserted into a scabbard engraved with obscure and mysterious symbols.

This sword has an indescribable weirdness. At first glance, it seems like you can see hundreds of sad and wailing souls struggling in a sea of ​​blood.

When the middle-aged man faced the sword, he seemed to be integrated with the surrounding environment as he breathed and breathed.

But unlike the traditional Ionian sword master, he does not give people an otherworldly feeling.

On the contrary, the middle-aged man exudes a violent and ruthless temperament.

He is Takeda Saito, one of the alchemy barons of Zaun. He controls several mines in Digou and secretly invests in many large-scale alchemy workshops.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps outside the dojo broke Takeda's meditation.

His pair of thick yellow eyebrows were knitted tightly, his eyelids squirmed a few times and then slowly opened, a flash of blood flashed from the depths of his pupils.

A few seconds later, a man wearing a gray traditional samurai uniform ran in, knelt down on one knee and lowered his head.

He is one of the samurai who serves the Takeda family.

"What's the matter?" Takeda asked in Ionian.

"Master, Zongshan Sang's tablet... is broken."

"What?!"

Takeda's round eyes widened with a look of shock, and his whole body trembled visibly.

His men's throats squirmed, a trace of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads and temples, and their heads hung lower.

After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "What on earth is going on?"

"You sent him to take people to the ditch today to investigate a group of strangers building a sea gate on our site..."

Before his subordinate could finish his words, Takeda raised his right hand and waved it, interrupting him: "I understand, go down."

"Yes." The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just retreated to the door when Takeda added another sentence:

"By the way, invite Mr. Chi Feng here... just tell me that I have something urgent and I want to ask him for divination."
