Chapter 261 Alchemist Baron? There Is No Need to Exist Anymore
All I can say is that he is a veteran.
Even when Li Lin questioned her like this, Lienata still looked extremely calm.
"Haha, Master Li Lin, everyone needs to be responsible for their words and deeds... If I were in Pi City, could I sue you for libel?" She said in a deliberately sinister tone.
Li Lin snorted coldly, not intending to talk too much nonsense to her.
The charges against Gorask Industries have been confirmed, but the explosion at the Zaun Alchemy Facility still requires further investigation. However, the Mechanical Engineer Corps has ruled out the final result of "accident".
Everything, no matter how clean it is, will still leave flaws to some extent.
When the mechanical engineers were cleaning up the scene, they found fragments of the alchemical bomb as small as a man's short hair among the explosives.
If it weren't for the scanning capabilities of the mechanical engineers, combined with the information from the intelligent brain comparison database, this small fragment might not have been discovered even if the experts from Piltover Security came to clean up the scene.
Zaun can possess such a precision alchemy bomb that leaves almost no trace after the explosion. No one else except Lenata, not even Silko has such a weapon.
Li Lin has sent mechanical engineers to collect them and deliver them to Sheriff Grayson who is also in charge of disaster relief in the city.
It won't take long for Piltover Police to analyze and compare its specific materials and ingredients, and figure out who used it.
Li Lin asked Zhinao to lock onto Lenata and the decanter floating around her, and was preparing to launch "shock bombs" and ordinary energy bombs to stun her and destroy her weapons respectively.
But Lenata seemed to have guessed his thoughts. The alchemy prosthetic body equipped with a control chip moved her left hand lightly, putting the decanter into attack mode.
【warn! You are locked by the decanter and the biochemical missile has been fired! 】
【warn! The decanter has vaporized a large amount of shimmering chemicals and is about to release biochemical poisonous mist! 】
While Zhinao was reminding her, Lenata's decanter fired four or five missiles filled with alchemical chemicals towards Li Lin.
Immediately afterwards, a poisonous gas like a purple wave spurted out from the port of the decanter, filling the entire small room almost instantly.
Before Li Lin could react, in less than one heartbeat, Zhi Nao had automatically locked onto the biochemical missile in the air, activated the defense system and fired several super-compressed mini energy bombs to annihilate them without even causing an explosion.
As for the shimmering gas that spreads throughout the room, it has extremely strong nerve stimulating effects and body strengthening effects.
With the armor's filter mask, Li Lin wasn't worried at all.
It's just that because the room is not airtight, the faint poisonous gas leaks to the outside through the gaps.
The men outside Lenata's door were already affected and started beating each other.
At this time, Lenata, who had already run to the window and wanted to use her decanter to fly into the sky to escape, was stimulated by the blue-white energy light. When she looked back, she suddenly took a breath of air.
She obviously underestimated the power of Li Lin's armor.
Renata moved even faster.
She firmly grasped the handle of the decanter with her left hand, stepped out of the window sill with her front and back feet, and her whole body floated in the air through this floating machine.
Seeing Li Lin standing still and looking at her, she gave the decanter another command to lock the entire song and dance hall and let it launch biochemical missiles to destroy it.
Compared to arresting herself or rescuing innocent people, Lenata was more inclined to Li Lin choosing the latter.
Unfortunately, her wishful thinking was wrong again.
Hearing Zhinao's alarm, Li Lin did not intend to avoid wasting time anymore and directly turned on the "overload charging" that no longer required charging time. The entire armor was covered with a layer of dazzling blue light.
Now with the blessing and protection of Janna, the goddess of wind, and the assistance of Zhi Nao, his speed has increased a lot again.
Then, just in the blink of an eye, Li Nata, who was flying away, suddenly realized that Li Lin had disappeared from the house, and her heart suddenly shivered.
"Damn it! Where did this bastard go?"
She quickly looked around.
Originally, when Lenata heard about Li Lin's flying incident, she also planned to build a flying defensive armor like this for self-defense, which was much easier to use than a decanter.
It's a pity that even her top craftsmen can't master the technology of the armor just by looking at it with the naked eye.
What's more, Li Lin always relied on his brain to memorize the production drawings and never spread them to others. Naturally, there was no risk of leakage.
Li Lin was nowhere to be seen around, and Lenata couldn't help frowning, "Have you left already?"
Immediately, she shook her head violently, and the slightly violent movement caused the decanter to shake.
"No, it's impossible! How could this bastard let me go..."
"Yeah, how could I let you go?"
As soon as Lenata finished speaking, she heard the familiar voice of a young man in her ear who sounded like the god of death.
Her breath froze, her purple pupils suddenly shrank, and she felt extremely horrified in her heart.
when? !
Before Lenata could react, Li Lin had already deployed the "high-frequency vibrating knife" to cut off her mechanical left arm, cutting off the connection between her and the decanter.
While she was unconscious and falling, Li Lin briefly thought about how to deal with this weapon device.
In the end, he decided to keep the decanter as evidence against Gorask.
Li Lin destroyed the ascent device at the bottom of the decanter, then flashed, caught Lenata who was about to land, and activated the appropriate energy to electrocute her.
All that's left is to contact Sheriff Grayson and ask her to send someone to put Lenata in jail.
He didn't care much about Gorask's subsequent charges and trial.
…
…
Catching Lenata is a big deal. She is the alchemist baron who currently ranks first in Zaun in terms of overall strength, far surpassing the second.
Of course, Hilko and Fandel are not Alchemy Barons and are not included in this ranking.
Li Lin handed Lenata over to Grayson, who hurriedly led the elite law enforcement officers to come from the middle square, and asked her to escort Lenata secretly and not to leak any news.
They are still not sure what Lenata's back-up plan is.
The stability of Zaun must be guaranteed. Before that, Li Lin needs to immediately obtain control of all Gorask Industries.
Time was urgent, so Li Lin called Hilko and informed him of the arrest of Gorask, and then asked him to summon all the alchemy barons and hold another meeting of the alchemy barons.
Hilko also roughly guessed what Li Lin wanted to do, so he agreed directly and notified him of the conference room in the border market building in an hour.
After setting a time, Li Lin asked Zhi Nao to redistribute tasks, mobilize about a hundred idle mechanical engineers, and divide them into groups of 3 to 5, and put them on standby in the more than 20 factories under Gorask's current name, and scan whether there are any inside. Dangerous items like bombs.
If so, the mechanical engineers no longer need to wait for Li Lin's order and can break into the factory on their own to seize control, cut off internal communication with the outside world, and disable the bomb's detonation system.
If not, they only need to wait until Li Lin finishes the Alchemy Baron meeting, get the exact information, and cooperate with the manpower sent by Silko to control all the factories at the same time.
As for the countless various stores, Li Lin only focused on some alchemy workshops.
It is enough to leave it to Hilko's people to investigate places of daily business such as cabaret halls, bars, and restaurants.
…
…
Half an hour flies by.
Because he had nothing to do for the time being, Li Lin had arrived at Hilko's office early to discuss with him the content of the Alchemy Baron meeting later.
First of all, the matter of Alchemy Baron Bonnie has been finalized. Hilko is no longer prepared to take into account the former brother and sister relationship and send a modified person equipped with a shimmer potion and an increase in alchemical technology to deal with her.
The song and dance hall has been blocked by Piltover police and Li Lin's mechanical engineers. Bonnie still doesn't know about Lenata's arrest.
After being notified by Hilko, she was coming from the middle square and would be intercepted halfway.
Based on Li Lin's understanding of Hilko, it is estimated that she will be transported to the critical Watcher's Sea in the Piltover Canal before tonight and sink to the bottom of the sea to keep company with the manta rays.
In addition to her, Alchemy Baron Middenstock is also on Hilko's processing list.
He has evidence that Middenstock secretly communicated with Lenata, and he is going to show it directly to everyone at the Alchemy Barons meeting later, and then deal with him in a fair and just way.
In addition, Li Lin said that all alchemist barons would be relieved of their control over various urban areas in Zaun, and Silko supported this.
There is really no need for the Alchemy Baron organization to continue to exist.
Although without Lenata, his family is now the sole leader in Zaun, but the other alchemy barons are still an obstacle to his rule in Zaun.
Li Lin could guess what Hilko was thinking in his heart and understood that he had hidden deep ambitions, so naturally he would not let him get too satisfied.
According to the plan, Li Lin has been training Mundo recently, and he will also be Li Lin's spokesperson in Zaun.
Once the Alchemist Baron's control over Zaun is released, Mundo no longer needs to stay in the arsenal and can go directly to the stage.
When the time comes, Hilko will regain control of part of the city, and Li Lin will help Mondo regain another part.
With the addition of Fander in the Black Alley, Zaun can almost form a "three powers" situation.
Fandel has no intention of power struggle and only manages his own one-third of an acre of land safely.
Mundo was not as good as Silko, but with Li Lin's support, he was just enough to check and balance Silko, preventing him from completely dominating Zaun.
Li Lin chatted a lot with Hilko. When Zhinao reminded him that the hour was up, the two of them got up and took the elevator slowly, talking and laughing, to the conference room on the next floor.
Pushing open the door of the conference room, all the alchemy barons in the room were sitting upright.
Unlike the last meeting of the Alchemy Barons, this time all the Alchemy Barons participated in the meeting.
Eni, Barritt, and Longfellow were sitting together. They were old acquaintances of Fander and Hilko, and were in charge of the Plant Cultivation Center, Thaumaturgy Magic Academy, and Xutai Square respectively.
Voslanar controls multiple mines in the trenches and operates robot manufacturing, and is connected to the upper city.
They were members of the last meeting of the Alchemy Barons.
This time, in addition to "Fireman" Finn and Bonnie, there are three new faces.
A man dressed like a dog, with sparse hair, equipped with alchemical technology enhancements, and sickly pale skin. It was obvious that he had hardly been exposed to the sun. He always maintained a philistine smile on his face, giving people a treacherous and smooth impression. middle-aged man.
A vastaya with two stun batons on his belt, wearing alchemy technology leather armor, and looking somewhat similar to a Pekingese.
A middle-aged man who had his head transplanted onto a body made of alchemical technology, wrapped in a transparent anti-explosion breathing mask, and covered with deadly weapons, his pair of copper-colored alchemical steel claws were sharp and menacing.
The three of them were Middenstock, Spender and Adrian.
Spender killed his boss, Ryan Nickover, the previous Alchemist Baron who was in charge of the business empire.
Adrien was the baron who discovered oil immediately after Lenata, and he had many alchemy workshops, mines and refining plants under his command.
As soon as they entered the door, several alchemist barons turned their attention to Li Lin and Hilko.
Among them, Spender and Adrian noticed that Li Lin was walking half a step ahead of Hilko, and a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Doubt and nervousness appeared on the faces of Eni, Barritt and Longfellow.
The meeting was about to start, but they didn't see Bonnie, and they couldn't help but worry about her.
Due to physical reasons, Lannar also underwent alchemy technology transformation and transplanted his head onto the machine body.
She has cooperated with Li Lin, and their relationship is pretty good, without any psychological burden.
Voss had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were blank, and his face was full of worry and panic, as if he had encountered something difficult to handle recently.
Li Lin quickly collected everyone's expressions and went straight to the main seat in the room to sit down. Hilko sat on the other side opposite him.
Facing everyone's surprised expressions, Li Lin knocked on the table and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
