Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 54 My Wish is World Peace

Ten minutes passed, and other members of parliament and the observer representatives sent by the family arrived one after another.

Li Lin, Caitlin, and Jess who just arrived stood in the auditorium seats together with other auditor representatives.

With the friction sound of mechanical gears dragging the chain to rotate, the closed metal plates on the top of the parliament hall and the wall slowly separated.

The rising sun in the morning passes through the thickened glass embedded with bronze grids, refracts and diffuses in the large interior space.

The people who were whispering to each other stopped talking, and the noisy parliament hall gradually became quiet.

Saro, Horskall, and Councilor Woslaton had gloomy faces.

Heimerdinger blew his beard and stared. After what happened last night, he also looked in a bad mood.

Councilor Polpok couldn't see his face because he transformed himself into a machine.

And Mel, who was used to smiling for thousands of years, also restrained his expression. At this time, he was propping his right arm on the table and dragging his chin, sitting on the chair expressionlessly.

After a while, Karina looked around the crowd, her voice was sonorous and powerful, and she slowly said:

"Presumably everyone should know what happened last night, or rather, a considerable number of people have personally experienced it."

As the most direct victim of last night's incident, she has the most right to speak, so this meeting is chaired by her.

Because the law enforcement officers and members of parliament have not yet announced that the real target of Kayinna Verizel, the behind-the-scenes manipulator, is actually Gila Mann.

Except for those who have the ability to understand the truth of the case on their own, most of the families are blind-eyed and don't know what to ask.

Coupled with the fact that several member families deliberately disclosed wrong information, they really thought that it was Zaun who deliberately targeted the Shangcheng family last night and conspired to attack them.

"The impact of this incident is very bad. Not only the aristocratic family in the upper city, but all those who participated in the Evolution Day Conference, including the citizens, have been implicated..."

Afterwards, Karina picked up the list that had been prepared on the table in front of her, and read the names of all the affected families.

After a while, she cleared her throat and continued:
"Piltover is the city of evolution, a city of wealth and dreams. Since the gate of the sun opened more than 200 years ago and set Piltover's birthday - Evolution Day, we have continued to carry out technological revolution and innovation as always. , with world-leading technology.

"Evolution Day is our most important annual festival. Every year, the most important technological innovations will be advertised on this day, and these new technologies will be put into use to jointly push the city of progress forward...

"But it was just last night!" Suddenly, Karina changed the topic, and her words suddenly became fierce.

"On the eve of our unveiling of the year's greatest age-defining invention, a group of Zaun bandits poisoned us all with Ionian hypnotic flowers and robbed us of our research!"

Li Lin, who was standing in the auditorium, could not help but twitch his mouth.

Even though Mrs. Karina had already explained to him in advance, he still couldn't help complaining in his heart when he said it in public:

This is too outrageous!

Shente Miao has robbed all the research results, how did those few mercenaries empty out such a large warehouse...

Beside Li Lin, Caitlin's expression was a little absent-minded, obviously not paying attention to her mother's speech.

Jess's expression remained unchanged, because he received Mrs. Karina's microphone last night, and he knew the procedure of today's meeting very well.

And he doesn't like politics, and he doesn't like to think too much about trivial matters that have nothing to do with science. Today he was just ordered to complete the task.

Immediately afterwards, after Mrs. Karina successfully aroused the emotions of the observers present, Saro, Polpok, and Congressman Woslaton immediately listed the various restlessness in Zaun in recent days and the criticism against Shanghai. city's actions.

Some gangsters in Zaan robbed with guns, some gang members beat law enforcement officers who were alone, etc., and even orphans in the trenches of Zaan "smuggled" to the city to steal things can be used as examples.

In fact, except for the batch of shimmering potions that can greatly improve a person's combat effectiveness, except for the confiscation of Shirko's batch, these cases happen every year on the Evolution Day.

But they really hit the right spot, that is, Shirko really made secret preparations, and wanted to lead Zaun to fight against Picheng.

Gradually, the emotions of the onlookers were aroused by the righteous words of the congressmen, and they began to discuss in a low voice.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Saro, Polpok, and Senator Woslaton motioned for Karina.

"Ahem..." Karina clenched her right fist against her mouth and cleared her throat.

The place was quiet again.

Then, she turned her eyes to Li Lin, Caitlin, and Jess in the front row of the auditorium, and said:
"Next, I would like to invite the three Miss Gilamann, Mr. Li Lin, and Mr. Tallis who rescued me from the criminals in the bottom city last night to tell what happened at that time."

Under the eyes of everyone mixed with various emotions, the three walked to the center of the round table of the councilors.

"These three are my daughter and the two talented craftsmen of Gilaman's family. As I said earlier, they are the two who researched the cross-age invention, and they helped my daughter rescue us last night. It's the two of them."

Karina briefly introduced the three of them to everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the audience representatives present were in an uproar and were extremely surprised.

Some of them lamented that they were young and promising, some were surprised that Councilor Gilamanen was rescued by members of his own family, and some wanted to know what kind of device they invented to win the favor of Gilamanen's family so much. love...

The noisy conversation lasted for a short time, and they all knew themselves, and now was not the time for them to talk.

"Li Lin, you were the biggest hero last night, so let's talk about it first."

Li Lin nodded to Karina, glanced sideways at Jess, who was standing with his hands behind his back, a little nervous, and then turned his face to the other side, just in time to meet Caitlin's sapphire eyes.

Complicated pupils flickered in her eyes, as if she was worried about what he would say next.

Li Lin gave her a reassuring look, then turned around seriously, facing the auditorium.

The eyes of hundreds of people were focused on him, and there were many families who were not in the forefront, but were also rich and powerful.

Saying you're not nervous is a lie.

Li Lin took a few deep breaths slowly, tried to relax himself, and brewed the draft in his mind.

After preparing for a while, he slowly said: "I think the speeches of the congressmen are biased..."

There was another commotion at the scene.

Hearing this, Sa Luo, who couldn't hold back his temper at first, patted the table vigorously, "Do you know what you are talking about?!"

Immediately afterwards, Hoskar, who always liked to confront Saro, also frowned, and couldn't help asking: "What happened last night, why are you still speaking for the people of Dicheng?"

Heimerdinger tilted his head, exhaled and blew away the beard from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Li Lin's back suspiciously.

Although Voslaton and Polpok didn't speak, it could be seen from their furrowed brows and fingers tapping on the table rhythmically that they were not satisfied with this statement.

Even Mel raised his brows slightly, with a rare expression of dissatisfaction on his face.

Karina, who couldn't hold back her face, put her hands on the table and stood up, hinting with her eyes, while deliberately emphasizing her tone and questioning him:

"Li Lin, you should tell everyone the real situation at that time."

But Li Lin still thought to himself as if he hadn't heard what they said:

"I think that for Piltover and Zaun, the destinies of the two city-states are one and the same, and we all know that.

"Zuan's development is inseparable from Picheng, but Picheng's industries are basically concentrated in Zaun, and most of the cheap labor is also from Zaun. If it leaves Zaun, where can Picheng prosper?

"Although I haven't personally experienced the Day of Ashes a few years ago, I have heard of the tragedy of that day... Rivers of blood flowed, corpses littered the fields, and even the air of Piltover had a strong smell of blood.

"If we oppress the people of Zaun like this, it will only lead to more serious consequences, leading to a second 'Day of Ashes'."

Li Lin paused for a moment, did not give others a chance to speak, and immediately continued:

"What is the original intention of our pursuit of progress and development? It is for peace and for people to live a better life! If the development of science and technology does not benefit the people, then what is the significance of technological progress?
"The people of Picheng are people, but the people of Za'an are also people. Since they want to benefit the people, why can't they bring the people of Za'an? Born in Za'an, why should they be inferior to the people of Picheng?
"I think this is very unreasonable, and deviates from our original intention of pursuing progress! Besides, we should know that as early as the founding of Piltover, when the two city-states were united, its name was Zaun.

"In other words, without Zaun, there would be no Piltover..."

Li Lin said everything he wanted to say in one breath, and including Karina, the expressions of several congressmen including Saro, Hoskar, and Woslaton were already gloomy.

The representatives of the auditorium below were all silent. No one dared to jump out at this time to be the first bird and offend the bad luck of the congressmen.

"Ridiculous! It's absolutely ridiculous!" Senator Sa Luo blushed, slammed the table and stood up and shouted at the gate: "Guard, where is the guard?! Give him to me..."

"Wait a minute, Senator Sa Luo." Sa Luo, who was about to call the guards to drive Li Lin out, was interrupted by Mel.

"What's the matter, Mel, do you still want to listen to this guy's nonsense?" Because the person talking was Mel, Sa Luo's tone was a little calmer.

After listening to Li Lin's words, Mel frowned, and there was even a trace of curiosity on his face.

She ignored Sa Luo, but turned Li Lin around calmly, and looked him up and down with scrutiny.

"So...you have said so much, what do you want to express?"

Li Lin met Mel's gaze, and said a word neither humble nor overbearing:

"My wish is... world peace."

　To be honest, this chapter is very difficult to write. It took me several hours to write the finished product, but I still didn't write the effect I wanted.

　　Class conflict is a problem that has not been solved in the real society. Shuangcheng is a classic class conflict, and I, a young author, naturally don't know how to solve this contradiction... I can only follow my own ideas. The problem is definitely. . .I can't avoid it either.

　　However, I don't plan to solve the problem of the two cities in the first volume, because the time is too hasty, and this kind of contradiction needs a long time to run in, and it cannot be resolved by a hot head. .

　　I'll try my best to do these plots well. .If there is something wrong, please scold me lightly (*)
