Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 82
The living room of Gilaman's main house.

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

After a few minutes, the door of the living room rang softly.

As soon as Mrs. Karina entered the door, the pair of blue eyes that were exactly the same as Caitlin's pupils flickered, and her gaze stayed on the two people who were sitting closer on the sofa and were chatting for a short while.

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

"mom!"

"Lady Karina."

Hearing the movement at the door, Li Lin and Caitlin got up at the same time and greeted Karina.

"Yeah." Karina replied softly.

She walked slowly and sat down opposite the two, and motioned for them to sit down together.

Immediately, Karina's eyes turned to Li Lin, "You called me in such a hurry, did you have a new invention?"

"No, Li Lin has other things to do." Caitlin, who was a little excited, spoke first.

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

On the way to the workshop to take off the power armor, and then back to the living room of the main house, he told Caitlin about what happened to him 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 to this very dangerous and not very rewarding approach.

It is not an easy task to wipe out the power of a baron of alchemy, and it needs to consume a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

This is one of the main reasons why Piltover has allowed Zaun's top snakes to develop on their own for many years.

Another factor is that after the "Day of Ashes" event, those in power in Piltover believed that Zaun was no threat at all, and did not take the Alchemy Barons into their eyes at all.

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

As for the method...

Facing Karina's surprised gaze, Caitlin got up and sat beside 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 her brows frowned, showing a headache expression.

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

"But Li Lin is not an outsider~~" Caitlin smiled sweetly, and then blinked her left eye at Li Lin, who was a little confused.

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

"Of course, you want world peace."

Karina gouged him out angrily, and raised her voice:
"You still dare to propose something about the meeting, because you think my attitude towards you has improved recently, so you want to push your nose on the face?"

"Don't dare, I just want to say that you can't be arrogant, no matter what you do, you have to take it step by step..."

Li Lin's oblique words and Caitlin's "acting like a baby" made Karina feel a little overwhelmed.

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

She withdrew her arm from Caitlin's arms, and said with some impatience:

"And Kate, I'll get angry if you do this again. Really, how old are you and you still act like a little girl..."

"Hmph, they haven't held a coming-of-age ceremony yet."

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

Karina shook her head helplessly, her eyes met with the young man in front of her: "Let's get down to business, are you going to do something dangerous again this time?"

Li Lin glanced sideways at Caitlin, who had a smile on his face, and looked at his mother, recalling in his mind how she taught him how to talk to Karina about this matter just now.

He took a deep breath slowly, and said unhurriedly: "This afternoon, something happened when I went to supervise the work in the trench in Zaan..."

In two to three minutes, Li Lin quickly told Karina about the alchemy baron Takeda who sent someone to find fault, and the conflict with him.

Among them, he focused on picking out the content of the other party's provocation. According to Caitlin, he added a little bit of embellishment, adding Baron Takeda's contempt for the Gilaman family.

Sure enough, as long as the Gilaman family was involved, Karina's temper suddenly came up:

"It's really lawless! A baron of alchemy dares to covet our family's property?!"

Li Lin is a member of the Gilaman family. The construction of the tidal power station was funded by the Gilaman family. Of course, it is also considered the industry of the Gilaman family.

In fact, even if Li Lin didn't add oil and vinegar as Caitlin taught, Karina would not allow this kind of behavior that harmed the interests of the Gilaman family.

"What are you going to do? You want me to send law enforcement officials to seize that who... Takeda? Yes, let law enforcement officials seize his property and warn him?"

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

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

Suddenly, he felt that his waist was poked, so he hurriedly continued: "To be precise, I plan to completely wipe out his power..."

……

……

The lower level of Zaun's middle-level square, in a relatively remote dojo with the style of Ionian warriors.

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

There was a table in front of him, and on it was a Taidao enshrined by incense and inserted in a scabbard engraved with obscure and mysterious symbols.

This sword has an indescribably weird feeling. At first glance, it seems that hundreds of mournful and crying souls can be seen struggling in a sea of ​​blood.

Facing the Taidao, the middle-aged man seemed to blend in with the surrounding environment as he exhaled.

But unlike traditional Ionian sword masters, he doesn't give off a sense of otherworldliness.

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

He is Takeda Saito, one of Zaun's alchemy barons, who controls several mines in the trench and secretly invests in many large alchemy workshops.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the dojo broke Takeda's meditation.

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

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

He was one of the samurai who served the Takeda family.

"What is it?" Takeda asked in Ionian.

"Patriarch, Zong Shansang's tablet...is broken."

"what?!"

Takeda's round eyes widened with a shocked expression, and his whole body trembled visibly.

His subordinate's throat squirmed, a little cold sweat leaked from his forehead and temples, and his head drooped even lower.

After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What's going on?"

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

Before the subordinate could finish speaking, Takeda raised his right hand and waved it, interrupting him: "I see, let's go down."

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

He had just retreated to the door, only to hear Takeda add another sentence:
"By the way, invite Mr. Chi Feng...just say that I have something urgent to ask him for divination."
