Chapter 269 Lanxun Manor

Stevan's invitation was set at six o'clock in the evening three days later, and the only person invited was Li Lin.

In fact, according to the traditions and etiquette of the Piltover family, even if Feros did not invite Karina, he would at least bring Caitlin as his female companion.

Li Lin and Caitlin had confirmed and made their relationship public as early as her coming-of-age ceremony.

What Stevan did was obviously not in line with the etiquette of large family interactions.

If this was a public party, it would even make the Gila Mann family lose face.

However, Li Lin believed that Stevan had no intention of offending the Giraman family. He only thought about the Hex Core to get rid of his frail, aging, and about to wither body.

Despite this idea, after all, it was an issue involving the reputation and face of the Gila Mann family. Li Lin still asked Karina briefly what he should do.

Karina is no longer as afraid of the Philos family as usual.

Originally, what these families were afraid of was not the Feros family, but a certain being in the Feros family - the Gray Lady.

Before the Evolution Day, Li Lin subdued Camille easily. Karina knew about this and now she is no longer as afraid as before.

Li Lin did not tell her Stevan's specific thoughts. He was the head of the family and could not respond with "malicious" inferences.

After careful consideration, Karina asked Li Lin to go to Philos' house as invited to see what Stevan wanted to do.

If something unexpected happens...play it by ear.

She also emphasized the importance of "acting by ear" and gave Li Lin a hint in her eyes: protecting yourself is the most important thing.

…

…

Three days were very short and passed quickly.

As for Stevan, Li Lin has nothing to worry about. He is still studying rune magic during this period.

It was on the afternoon of the third day, two hours before the party started, that he washed himself carefully, selected a dress, and let the Infinity 4th Generation Armor scan the form.

Although Li Lin can now run rampant across the two cities with his strengthened body, gaining strength does not mean that he becomes arrogant, and he still needs to be prepared.

When the time was almost up, he drove the Tyrant Warrior into the sky in the form of a chariot and flew in the direction of the Philos family mansion.

Blue Smoke Manor is located on the outskirts of the southern city of Piltover. It has a history of more than two hundred years. It can be traced back to the era of the Gray Lady's great-great-grandfather, the generation that experienced the "Great Collapse" event.

Philos is the only family among the big families that has settled in the southern city.

Ten minutes later, Li Lin slowly landed in the Tyrant Warrior. In the eyes of a group of servants dressed in Philos family costumes, he slowly landed outside the large iron gate of Lanxun Manor.

As soon as Li Lin opened the car door and got out of the car, without even showing the invitation letter, a young man who was obviously dressed differently from the others and seemed to have a higher status hurriedly opened the iron door and trotted to his side.

"Please, are you...Mr. Li Lin of the Gila Mann family, correct?"

"That's right."

Just as Li Lin was about to take out the invitation letter from his arms, the man who saw his thoughts in advance smiled and declined: "There is no need for an invitation letter, this floating car can prove your identity.

He smiled and said, "After all, in the entire upper city, only you are qualified to drive it."

"Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment."

Li Lin kept a polite smile and didn't pay much attention to the young man's obvious compliment.

"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bonar Feros. I am a foreigner who joined the Feros family and was given the surname of 'Filos' by the head of the Stevan family."

Bonnar gave Li Lin a standard Piltover noble etiquette, "Before the party starts, I will take you to visit Lanxun Manor, if you are willing."

"Okay, thank you."

"It is my honor to serve an outstanding genius like you." Bonnar said very respectfully, and then glanced at the Tyrant Warrior, "Your car can be parked in the small square in front of the main house."

Li Lin saw the excitement in Bonnar's eyes, and seemed to want to take the opportunity to have fun with the Tyrant Warriors.

But Li Lin didn't get what he wanted.

I attended the party at the appointed time, and it was less than an hour before it started.

Since it was Stevan who wrote the invitation in person, it would be enough to just send someone to take me to see him. Why bother to do this and send a servant with a foreign surname to deal with me, who is not even a direct descendant.

This is completely inconsistent with normal party reception procedures and etiquette.

Even Myrdalda, the first family of Piltover, would not dare to treat Li Lin like this.

Even if it's your first time here, if you want to visit the manor, you have to make arrangements after meeting the owner of the house, or the guest can take the initiative.

Ever since Bonnar said he wanted to take him around the Lanxun Manor, Li Lin had already felt unhappy.

Are you trying to show me off first?

"My chariot has an intelligent system. It can control itself and park at the location you mentioned." Li Lin said calmly.

"That's it..." Bonnar's eyes showed very obvious regret, and then he restrained himself, "Then please come here first."

Compared with Gilaman Manor, Lanxun Manor is more than twice as big.

After all, the land in the northern city is limited, and there are many mansions and workshops of major families. In the southern city, or in the suburbs, there is no concern about "occupied space".

It is different from the new architectural style in the northern urban area.

Lanxun Manor is a retro-style building. It is almost entirely made of smooth and bright marble. In some places, it is only matched with fine imported wood. The simple growth rings are clearly visible. It is dignified and elegant. It does not incorporate too much modernity. Bronze grid used.

Of course, large, bright glass windows are one of Piltover's strange aesthetics. Glass windows of various sizes can be seen everywhere on the walls of Lanxun Manor.

In addition, since it is located in the southern urban area, the public security situation is naturally not as good as that in the northern urban area.

Guards wearing gray-white coats with the Feros family crest sewn on and patrolling with guns can be seen everywhere in Lanxun Manor.

If the Gila Mann family had such a tight defense before, Blast, Wei, Clegg and Milo might not have any chance of invading Li Lin's workshop on the top floor.

In the corridor of the side house, Bonnar led the way, and Li Lin followed behind. At the same time, the brain loaded in the "headphones" quickly scanned and recorded the room structure of Lanxun Manor.

Previously, he only flew through the sky in his armor and roughly recorded the external terrain, but he had no idea of ​​the internal structure.

But in fact, even if something unexpected happened, Li Lin could just change his clothes into a battle armor form and jump out of the window. There would be Tyrant warriors outside to help him.

It has become his habit to just open the map first when he goes to a place. He used to like to do this when playing games.

The interior decoration style of the Philos family is very different from that of Gila Mann.

Of course, one thing is exactly the same, that is, the use of exquisite craftsmanship and valuable luxury exhibits to remind visitors that the Philos family has a rich heritage.

Various exhibits purchased from Freljord, Demacia, Noxus, Ionia, Shurima and other countries, and even from Mount Targon, fill the corridors and exhibition halls along the way.

Besides, this is just a side house.

Walking through the bright corridor, Bonnard led Li Lin into a large exhibition hall.

But unlike the exhibition hall filled with exhibits that I had seen before, the walls of this exhibition hall were covered with lifelike portraits.

Under these flowers, the names and dates of birth and death of the portrait owners are also written, as well as the achievements they achieved before their death.

"Mr. Li Lin, this is the exhibition hall of the achievements of the previous heads of our Philos family... This is the first head of our Philos family, and he also founded the Philos family.

"Oh, yes, and this one, although she is not the head of Feros, she discovered the 'original crystal' more than a hundred years ago, which is now the Hex Crystal and your upgraded and improved Hex Energy Crystal. prototype.

"As you can see, she lost an arm for the original crystal, and her spirit of sacrifice has become the motto of our Feros family: For my family, I am willing to sacrifice..."

Just as Bonar was introducing the great achievements of the ancestors of the Philos family to Li Lin one by one, there was only a soft sound of the door axis turning, and a person wearing a gray-white luxurious dress, with a young and delicate appearance, was very... The elegant girl walked in.

There was light makeup on her face, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she had a standard and polite smile. Her blue eyes were as pure and flawless as sapphire crystals. Her black hair was tied behind her head and decorated with exquisite hair accessories. If she was comfortable Unfolded, it might hang down to her waist.

Noticing the sudden appearance of a girl, "Ai, Miss Abil..."

Bonnard looked a little frightened and bowed to the girl very respectfully.

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, feeling a little curious about the very beautiful girl in front of him who seemed to be about the same age as Orianna.

According to his guess, the so-called 'Abiel' who made Bonar so panicked was probably a direct descendant of the Philos family.

"Bonal, just leave the important task of entertaining Mr. Li Lin to me." The girl's voice was sweet, but there was a hint of nervousness.

It was like she had never spoken like this before.

Hearing what Abil said, Bonnar couldn't help but frown, took a deep breath and said: "But Miss Abil..."

"This is my aunt's arrangement."

"..."

The words Bonnar was about to retort were stuck in his throat, and his expression suddenly changed.

There was a brief silence in the air.

After a few seconds, he turned around stiffly, bowed to Li Lin and said sorry, turned around randomly, and left through the door on the other side of the room without looking back.

When only Li Lin and Abiel were left in the room, the young girl's tense face relaxed and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Phew—finally we got rid of this nasty guy!"

Now, it was Li Lin's turn to be confused about the situation, "Uh... forgive me for being rude, can I take the liberty to ask, what is the situation?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry...I forgot."

Abiel stuck out her tongue playfully, completely like a child, completely inconsistent with the serious and cold image just now, as if that was her disguise.

"My name is Abiel, Abiel Fellowes, and my eldest brother's name is Yabus. You should know him." She quickly introduced herself, "I was arranged by my aunt to take you to see her."

"Auntie? You mean... Camille?"

Hearing Li Lin call out this name, Abiel's face changed slightly, and she quickly waved her hand, "Shh! I want to call you Gray Lady!"

Well……

Li Lin scratched his head. The little girl had been talking for a long time and it was not at all important. He still didn't quite understand the current situation.

"Anyway, come with me first, and I'll explain it to you on the way."
