Two Cities: I Am Building a Mecha in Pi City

Chapter 253 You Are the Future Xinglai Diva

Modmore took Li Lin and Kasha through their workshop to another smaller living room.

Li Lin looked around. Although the room was small, it was well-equipped.

A slightly old but very clean sofa surrounds a small transparent coffee table.

Hanging on the whitewashed wall is a mural painted by an unknown artist, depicting a sunset over Piltover Canyon.

From the artist's perspective, it should be Zaun's dance corridor.

Clarana made tea and served it to the table, sitting next to her husband. Li Lin sat opposite the couple, while Seraphine and Kasha sat on the sofa on the other side.

"My name is Mord Moore, and this is my wife Clarana. As you can see, we are mechanics who repair Hex speakers."

Modmore quickly introduced themselves, "The house is too shabby, so I can only trouble you two to make do with it."

"It doesn't matter. When I was a handyman in a clock repair shop a year ago, my conditions in all aspects were not one-tenth as good as yours." Li Lin said in an indifferent tone.

"You also worked as a handyman?"

Modmore, who had never paid much attention to newspapers and public opinion reports, was naturally extremely surprised by this kind of news.

"I heard Mrs. Anita from the clothing store next door say last week that Mr. Li Lin seemed to have said at the Evolution Day meeting that he had just come to the city from Ionia and had been working as a handyman and learning mechanical knowledge in the past few years?

"Furthermore, the owner of the watch repair shop where Mr. Li Lin worked previously was poached by a family as a mechanic because of this."

Mrs. Anita next door always likes to pay attention to some gossip news, and the source of the news is usually very accurate.

After hearing what his wife said, Modmore had a much better impression of Li Lin.

"That's right, it took me 4 years to barely qualify to interview as a mechanic of the Gila Mann family." Li Lin said modestly with a smile.

"This can't be considered forced! This is a treasure found by the Giraman family!" Mordmore exclaimed sincerely.

"Yes, these time-breaking technological devices you invented have brought great convenience to our lives."

Clarana also praised, "Especially with electricity, we no longer need to use Hex square batteries, which saves a lot of costs and even improves our lives a lot."

"I'm glad that my invention can be of help to you." Li Lin responded with a polite smile on his face.

After chatting with Seraphine's parents for a while, Li Lin saw that the time on the wall clock in the corner of the room was close to five-thirty, so he decided to get straight to the point.

"Actually, the main reason I took the liberty of visiting today is because of Seraphine."

It finally begins...

Mordmore and Clarana took a deep breath and looked at each other.

Even the two little girls Seraphine and Kasha felt nervous due to the slightly dull atmosphere.

Serafani clutched the pendant on her chest and recalled that she met Li Lin when he came home and told his parents the news. They simply did not believe that there would be such a "pie in the sky" good thing.

She wanted to defend Li Lin, but she also understood that her parents were thinking about herself.

Besides, they worked hard, and Seraphine didn't want to cause trouble to them, so she kept these things deep in her heart.

In the two weeks after Evolution Day, Li Lin never came to her. Seraphine thought he was really just a joke.

Fortunately, Mrs. Anita next door heard about the big plans of Piltover University, and the chief designer was Li Lin.

Only then did she realize that maybe Li Lin was too busy to find her, and she still had some hope in her heart.

Today, Li Lin and Kasha visited her parents in person, and Seraphine was completely relieved.

However, Seraphine was a little dissatisfied with her parents' distrustful attitude towards him.

Just out of her parents' teachings and etiquette, she didn't interrupt.

Afterwards, Modmore took the lead and asked cautiously: "Excuse me...what do you want to do with your little girl?"

Seraphine pouted her mouth slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

They obviously knew Li Lin's purpose of coming, but they insisted on testing him by asking questions knowingly.

Unfortunately, her abilities cannot be shared with others.

Otherwise, Serafani would just use her ability to make her parents listen to the song in Li Lin's heart to prove that he is indeed a good person.

"Forgive me for being blunt, but you don't need to be so defensive about me."

Li Lin looked at Seraphine's parents respectively, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "I know Seraphine's ability, it is a magical talent."

Mordmore and Clarana couldn't help but feel their hearts sink, and their expressions changed slightly.

"I've been to Shurima, walked with the warriors of the gods, and fought monsters in the desert... and I'm an Ionian.

"I wouldn't say I know magic, but at least I know a lot about magic. Seraphine's magic talent is very powerful, and it will get stronger with age.

"If she doesn't learn how to control her magic, this 'talent' will turn into a curse and have a very negative impact on her... I believe you have encountered this situation before."

"But Fanny has not been affected by these things in the past month..."

As soon as Modmoor finished speaking, Seraphine finally couldn't help but defend Li Lin: "Dad, Li Lin gave me a magic pendant to help me suppress my magic talent."

"Magic pendant?" He glanced at his stunned wife Clarana and continued: "Why didn't you tell us about this?"

After reacting, Clarana also said in a slightly reproachful tone: "How could you accept such an expensive gift from Mr. Li Lin?"

"I obviously told you when I got home that day..." Seraphine felt aggrieved, "You were busy at the time and didn't take my words seriously at all."

After a moment of pause, she added in a sad tone: "Without Li Lin's pendant, I would have heard more and more discordant tunes and various secrets. It is estimated that within a few months, I would not be able to go out."

Kasha shook Seraphine's little hand with a worried look on her face to express comfort.

Modmoore lowered his eyes and remained silent, while Clarana looked worried, "But... isn't this pendant enough?"

It is true that children are the most important thing to their parents.

Even with the University of Piltover and the School of Science and Magic in Zaun, magic is considered a relatively dangerous thing in the Twin Cities and is something that must be strictly controlled.

Moreover, with magic, there will be more uncontrollable factors, which will have an unknown impact on daily life.

If they had a choice, Mordmoore and Clarana would rather Seraphine did not have this "talent" and live a normal life as an ordinary person.

Li Lin shook his head and sighed: "With Seraphine's talent, this pendant is only enough to suppress her magic for a few years... It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, which is not a good idea."

Do you have anything better? We will buy it no matter how much it costs...

Clarana opened her mouth, but she still didn't say what she was thinking.

Li Lingui is a craftsman of the Gila Mann family. Even if he really has such a very precious magic item, it is impossible to sell it. After all, he is not short of money.

At this time, Modmore, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke: "Then what do you think..."

"Since Seraphine likes to sing, I will sponsor her to go to the Magic Academy at Piltover University to train her as a singer while she learns to control her talent.

"Coupled with her ability to listen to the songs of other people's hearts, she is enough to sing the voices of the people in the Twin Cities. It is not a problem at all to become a singer that surpasses Zaun's 'Integrity Python' rock band."

Li Lin's eyes turned and stayed on Seraphine on the other side.

"In other words, you will be the star singer of the Twin Cities in the future."

Integrity Python is the most popular pop rock band in Zaun, and some of their songs are also popular among many Piltover people, and even the children of some big families.

Seraphine stared at Li Lin, blinked her shining eyes, and her heartbeat accelerated slightly.

When Mordmore and Clarana heard that their daughter might have such a glorious future, they couldn't help but be moved.

But they, who were born in poverty, still couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen to them.

"But...what's the price?" Modmore stopped his smile, stared at Li Lin with a serious expression, and asked in a deep voice.

"The price?" Li Lin raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "I need Seraphine's help."

"Forgive us for being rude... Could you please be more specific?" Clarana answered.

"In the past year, I have been helping Zaun's infrastructure construction... If you don't believe it, you can take the time to go to Zaun and ask."

Hearing what Li Lin said, Mordmore and Clarana showed shocked expressions.

They really don't know much about this aspect.

Without giving them a chance to ask questions, Li Lin continued: "But even so, I still find that there are still sharp conflicts between the people of the two cities. This is not a situation I want to see.

"Perhaps you have heard that the two cities are one body. Rather than being in opposition, they are more like sisters who are in harmony with each other. The people of the two cities should not be opposed to each other like today, but should support each other.

"When Seraphine grows up, she will be able to use magic and singing to build a bridge for the people of the Twin Cities to communicate with each other, allowing them to put aside their past grudges and reunite.

"Only in this way can the Twin Cities rise in this world full of dangers and reach the top of the world!"

Mordmore and Clarana were shocked by Li Lin's lofty ambitions.

This is something that ordinary citizens like them who are still worried about daily expenses cannot even imagine.

Moreover, they believed that Li Lin was not lying because he was fully capable of doing so.

Modmore swallowed, and before he could recover from his shock, he stuttered: "This, this kind of thing, we can't do it, it depends on Fanny's wishes..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Seraphine shouted excitedly: "I am willing... Mom and Dad, I am willing to accept Li Lin's sponsorship!"
