Chapter 228 The Major Families Who Came to Visit
Li Lin landed from a high altitude. He was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he enjoyed the feeling of flying and flew around the southeastern corner of Valoran's continent where the twin cities were located.
He also crossed the Piltover Strait and went to the southern rainforest of Mangkugla.
Li Lin even wanted to fly to Nasramei to find Sivir and Nasus, or ask about Kassadin's current news.
However, even at the current speed of the armor, it would take four or five hours to go back and forth from Piltover to Naschramei.
The whole city must be looking for him now. Mrs. Karina must have learned the news and rushed home. Li Lin restrained his thoughts.
More than an hour had passed since he left the high altitude, and he flew back to Pi City.
At this time, the streets of Pi City were already crowded with people.
Li Lin looked through the holographic display of the mask and saw that most people were looking up at the sky, seemingly looking for something.
After seeing the "humanoid UFO" in the sky, the crowd on the street suddenly became excited.
Li Lin couldn't hear what they were saying, but by looking at people's facial expressions after zooming in, he could guess what they were discussing.
With a smile on his face, he only stayed outside for a moment, then blew out a tail flame and flew to the northern city, returning to the Gila Mann mansion.
As he happened to pass by the balcony of Caitlin's room, Li Lin landed outside her room, unfolded his mask and looked through the glass door.
"Huh? Why aren't you in the room? Shouldn't Kate be resting?"
He touched his chin in confusion, making a metallic friction sound.
At this moment, a maid's voice came from the courtyard downstairs: "Mr. Li Lin!"
Li Lin grabbed the white guardrail of the balcony and looked down. A maid was waving to him excitedly.
"Finally found you!" she shouted loudly, "Are you looking for the lady? She is with the madam now, in your workshop! The madam has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Li Lin nodded in response, and immediately took off again in the eyes of the maid with admiration and envy, and soon returned to the sky above the workshop.
At this time, Caitlin, Kasha, the Gila Manns, and some people from other families who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked familiar or unfamiliar looked up at him.
Including their respective servants, there were at least fifty people.
"Good guy...are you planning to attend some party?"
Li Pingping landed in an open space some distance away from them.
Caitlin took the lead and trotted over, her legs moving a little unnaturally.
But she concealed it very well, and you couldn't tell it unless you looked closely.
Then, she looked Li Lin up and down with astonishment, "What you told me and Chief Grayson before... I thought you were joking!"
"Have you ever failed to do what I said?" Li Lin said with a smile, "Why don't you take a good rest in your room?"
"How could I sleep when I heard the news that you actually flew into the sky?"
Caitlin glanced at him and said in a complaining tone: "Besides, as soon as mom came back, she ran to my room to ask for news about you. Then she said that people from other families were visiting and asked me to get up to entertain..."
As soon as she finished speaking, envy and shock flashed through Kasha's moist eyes, "Li Lin! You can actually fly?!"
Li Lin turned his attention to Kasha, "Well, the new technology just developed..."
Immediately, he lowered his voice and said: "Besides, the technology of biological armor has also made progress, and your problem should be solved soon."
Kasha pursed her lips and looked confused, "But...if I really don't have this layer of skin, will I lose the ability to fight? I also want to be like you, flying freely in the sky..."
"Don't worry, there are always more solutions than problems. Let's discuss this matter later. Now is not the time."
"Yeah~~!"
Li Lin unfolded the armor on his hand and rubbed her little head, then looked at the approaching Gila Manns and other family representatives behind them.
He quickly scanned each person wearing different clothes, identifying the family crest on them.
Myrdalda, Philos, Salo, Horskar, Polpok, the Voslaton family...
Except for Heimerdinger who did not come, or who had not arrived for the time being, the representatives of several councilor families were complete.
In addition to them, there are Kevald, a well-known figure in Piltover, Amara, a businessman who invested in Piltover University, etc., and even Joe, who has many conflicts of interest with the Gila Mann family and is considered one of the sworn enemies. The Ethan family.
"Congressman Gilamann, Mr. Elro." Li Lin stopped his smile and nodded to the leader of the group, the Gilamann couple.
"Li Lin, you actually developed a single-person flying device?!"
Mrs. Karina, who usually pays great attention to elegance in front of outsiders and tries to remain calm when dealing with things, sounded very excited at this time.
"As you just saw." Li Lin nodded, "After my test, the ascension state is very stable. I even ascended to an altitude of 30,000 meters."
The representatives of the major families present were all dumbfounded, and then there was an uproar.
"Thirty thousand meters? How is this possible?"
"Our best aerostat can only fly a few hundred meters above the ground...not to mention hot air balloons. Even after improvements, the highest record is only over a thousand meters."
"Thirty thousand meters... this is Runeterra, right?"
"Your book is really wasted. It only takes 30,000 meters to reach somewhere? It's still far from flying out of the planet, right?"
"Except for the legendary humans blessed by the stars who can do this, not even the demigods can, right?"
"..."
Some representatives of smaller families had begun to argue. The representatives of several large families headed by them were relatively well-educated. They were just curiously looking at the armor on Li Lin without saying a word.
After more than ten seconds, standing next to Karina, a middle-aged man with a decorative mechanical telescopic cane, a middle-parted oiled hair, a big mustache and a pair of round eyes cleared his throat. Throat, "Ahem."
Everyone present fell silent for an instant, not daring to say another word. They seemed to be very afraid of this man, and were vaguely led by him.
He was wearing a tan coat, paired with a light blue and white vertical striped shirt, and his lower body was in tan slim trousers and boots.
The shoulders of his coat were decorated with gold statues of workers building mechanical devices. The gold-trimmed collar stood up high, just behind his head, like the halo of a god on earth.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Yabus Feros of the Feros family. You must have heard my name." The man's voice was low, but with a hint of exaggeration.
Karina knew that Li Lin rarely paid attention to outside news and had just returned to Pi City. She was afraid that he would not know Yabus, so she immediately added:
"Yabus is the person in charge of the Philos family's current foreign investment matters. Every investment is a big profit, there has never been a loss, and he is deeply trusted by the Stevan family.
"When Jess was studying the Hex Flying Gate, he got the attention of Yabus and provided him with a large amount of sponsorship money."
As expected...
Li Lin nodded, and after listening to Karina's description, he knew the purpose of these people.
"Happy Evolution Day, Mr. Philos."
"Hmm~~ The same goes for you." Yabus rubbed the beard at the corner of his mouth and raised his chin slightly, "Just call me Yabus, and I'll just call you Li Lin, how about that?"
From the corner of Li Lin's eyes, he could see the surprised expressions on the faces of other family representatives, as if they were surprised by Yabus's attitude.
It seems that in addition to the name of the Philos family, Yabus also has great influence in various major families.
Based on his current attitude towards himself, he should value himself very much.
Li Lin stretched out his hand to shake Yabus, with a polite smile: "Of course, Yabus."
"Hmm~~ I don't think you are a person who likes nonsense, so I'll get straight to the point."
Yabus chuckled, glanced back at the other families, and then looked back at Li Lin again, with the corners of his mouth raised in an exaggerated expression.
"We are very interested in your armor. Are you willing to accept our investment?"
I did a little calculation based on the official map and the number of sailing days. Based on the medieval wooden ship's 30 kilometers per hour, the scale of the alliance's main universe map is about 1:360 kilometers. The twin cities are about one centimeter on the map. Convert In reality, it is actually about the size of a province. . Moreover, according to the official illustrations, the upper level of Zaun to Piltover is at least several hundred meters deep, and the middle and lower levels are at least several thousand meters deep. The twin cities in the main universe are not small at all, and the animation performance is too poor.
