Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

It was as if the alienation of the past few days had caused all the emotions to accumulate in my heart.

After getting back together, Caitlin took Li Lin and chatted until the early morning, completely opening up the conversation.

In the end, because her eyelids were really struggling and she almost fell asleep on the sofa, Li Lin forcefully sent her back to the room.

When Li Lin climbed into bed to sleep, it was already past three in the morning.

He didn't know how long he had slept for, but he was awakened again by a rapid knock on the door.

Li Lin rubbed his sleepy eyes. When the world in front of him gradually became clear, he realized that the room was still dark.

The sky outside the window has just become bright, and even the early morning sun has not yet risen.

What time is it now...

The sleepy Li Lin almost fell asleep again, but the constant noisy knocking on the door outside the bedroom made him really unbearable.

"I'll blanch it!"

The veins on Li Lin's forehead throbbed. He got up out of bed with some annoyance and threw on some clothes. He went to the reception room and opened the door.

Standing in the corridor was the housekeeper of the Giraman family.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Lin." The butler put his right hand on his chest and bowed politely to apologize. "Mrs. Gila Mann asked me to remind you to prepare as soon as possible. There will be a parliamentary meeting today."

"Council meeting? Madam, is she awake? How are her and Mr. Elroy's health?"

Li Lin actually knew the physical condition of the Gila Manns very well. As long as they slept for a few hours, there would basically be no big problem.

It's just that in front of outsiders, you still have to have the proper form. Anyway, it's just a matter of opening your mouth.

Maintaining good etiquette is not a bad thing.

"Madam and Sir are recovering well. The first thing they did after they woke up and figured out the situation was to ask me to send transmission tubes to other parliamentary families and Mr. Tallis, and then asked me to inform you and Mr. Tallis this morning. Miss Caitlin."

"I understand, thank you." Li Lin nodded to the housekeeper.

After he bowed again and turned to leave, Li Lin closed the door and patted his face to wake himself up.

"It's time to hold a parliamentary meeting again...it's so annoying."

Complaints are like this, and there should be no ink on what needs to be done.

Li Lin took a quick cold shower, put on the formal clothes of the Giramann family, and walked out quickly to the dining room next to the kitchen on the first floor.

Inside the house, the Gila Manns and Caitlin were already dining.

"Li Lin, this way!"

Caitlin, who was eating a sandwich at the table, saw Li Lin walking in. She smiled and waved to him, gesturing for him to sit in the empty seat next to her.

Lady Karina glared at her, "Kate."

Caitlin smiled, calmed down and continued to eat the food in her hand.

However, she still glanced at the young man at the door from time to time, meaning to ask him to sit over quickly.

"Good morning, Lady Karina, Mr. Elroy."

"Good morning," Mr. Elroy returned.

"Hurry up and have breakfast, we don't have much time." Karina didn't look back, her tone was very calm.

But Li Lin had figured out her temperament, and she never liked to express her emotions in words.

The colder her expression and voice became, the more arrogant Karina became.

This room is not a place for guests to dine at dinner parties, but the traditional European-style long table can still accommodate twenty people.

Since there were no guests who did not require too much attention to etiquette, Mr. and Mrs. Gila Mann sat side by side at the end of the long table, with Caitlin opposite them.

Li Lin walked to the girl and sat down. The servant on the side immediately stepped forward to tie the napkin for him, and then placed the tableware and the still-warm breakfast in front of him.

In order to save time, he gave up the knife and fork and followed Caitlin's example to grab a sandwich and devour it.

"You saved me last night. If you want to thank me, I won't say much. I always believe that words are not as practical as actual actions."

While eating, Mrs. Karina briefly mentioned what happened last night, but she was obviously in a bad mood and did not want to get too involved in the matter of her kidnapping.

"Today we held a meeting mainly to talk about the attack during the Evolution Day Conference last night. When I woke up in the morning, I heard Kate tell me that the person behind it had been caught and seemed to have some trouble with us.

"The Giraman family has never been afraid of offending others. What's more, the thief violated the interests of our family. We just put him in prison in accordance with the laws of Pi City. His suicide is his own business and has nothing to do with us. .

“But it is clear that the person behind this incident is just an ordinary Piltover citizen, and other councilors are not very satisfied with the result.

"I guess they will put the blame on Dicheng, who has become restless in recent days, and prepare to take the opportunity to suppress them."

"But mom, this matter has nothing to do with Dicheng..."

Caitlin frowned slightly, thinking of her promise to Hilko and her wish to resolve the conflict between the two cities.

"So this is what I want to remind you, don't talk nonsense in the waiting meeting, and try to follow their temper."

Caitlin frowned even more tightly, with a dissatisfied expression, "But I don't think we..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt something poke her waist.

Caitlin caught a glimpse of Li Lin's small movements next to her from the corner of her eye, and realized that it was him who had just done it.

Being smart, she immediately understood what Li Lin meant and shut her mouth.

The conflicts between the two cities have been accumulating for a long time, especially after the "Ashes Day" a few years ago, which has reached the point of being almost irreconcilable.

Even Lady Karina would not favor Zaun in most aspects.

There is no point in arguing with her at this time. On the contrary, it may cause her to lose her temper when her anger is already at the critical point.

"What do you want to say, Kate?" The expression on Karina's face changed slightly.

Of course Caitlin, who was extremely observant, could tell that this was a prelude to her mother becoming angry, and immediately shook her head and said, "No, not really."

The tight wrinkles at the corners of Karina's eyes relaxed a lot, "Very good."

She then started talking about things that Li Lin and Caitlin should pay attention to in the meeting later.

The same process as last time, they need to enter the parliament hall with Karina and wait for a while.

But the difference is that today's meeting will be attended by representatives from all the named families in Piltover.

Li Lin and Jess needed to wait for the congressmen sitting there to discuss it first, and then they would come forward to embellished the representatives present and tell what they saw and heard in Zaun when they rescued the Gila Manns.

Next, they need to put the blame on Zaun, instigate other family representatives to be hostile to Zaun, and then allow the council to have enough family support to send law enforcement officers to suppress the city.

With the exception of Heimerdinger, the parliamentary mascot, every member of Congress knew what was going on.

As long as their proposals involving major events in the two city-states are approved by the majority of people and do not harm the interests of the Feros family, the man behind Piltover will not interfere.

Moreover, squeezing Zaun is in the interest of all families. Except for the aristocratic families from Zaun and the truly peace-loving families, almost no Piltover people will refuse.

Therefore, over the years, these families in the upper city have often used this method to suppress the lower city.

The "Day of Ashes" incident a few years ago erupted just after it exceeded the critical point that had been building up in the hearts of the Zaun people for many years.

The more Li Lin and Caitlin listened to Karina's request, the uglier their expressions became.

What's more, like Heimerdinger, she is considered a quite conservative faction among the members of Congress.

But even she has put forward a series of exaggerated lies, and it is not difficult to imagine other congressmen coming up with proposals on how to squeeze the bottom city's interests.

The politics of Piltover are dark…
