Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 269 Blue Smoked Manor
The time for 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 Philos did not invite Karina, at least Caitlin should be brought as a female companion.

Lin Li and Caitlin had established and made their relationship public as early as her bar mitzvah.

Stevan's actions obviously did not conform to the etiquette of communication among big families.

If this is a public party, it will even make the Gilaman family lose face.

However, Li Lin believed that Stevan had no intention of offending the Gilaman family. He only thought about the core of Hex, so as to get rid of his frail, aging body that was about to wither.

Even so, Li Lin asked Karina briefly about what he should do as it involved the reputation and face of the Gilaman family.

Regarding the Philos family, Karina is no longer as afraid as usual.

Originally, what their families were afraid of was not the Pheros family, but a certain existence in the Pheros family—the Gray Lady.

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

Li Lin didn't tell her what Stephen was thinking. He was the head of the family, so he couldn't make "malicious" speculations.

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

If there is any accident... play by ear.

She also emphasized the tone of "playing by ear", and gave Li Lin a hint with her eyes: protecting yourself is the most important thing.

……

……

Three days are very short, and it will pass quickly.

For Stevan, Li Lin had nothing to worry about. He was still studying rune magic during this time.

It was not until the afternoon of the third day, two hours before the party, that he carefully washed up, chose a suit of dress, and let the four-generation Infinity Armor scan and simulate.

Although Li Lin can now run rampant across the two cities with his strengthened physical body alone, having strength does not mean that he will become arrogant, and there are still preparations that should be made.

When the time was almost up, he drove the Batian warrior in the form of a chariot into the air, 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 200 years. It can be traced back to the era of Mrs. Gray's great-great-grandfather, that is, the generation that experienced the "Great Crash".

Philos is considered to be the only family that settled in the southern urban area among the big families.

After 10 minutes, Li Lin drove the Batian Warrior to land slowly. In the eyes of a group of servants dressed in the costumes of the Philos family, he slowly landed outside the big iron gate of Lanxun Manor.

Li Lin had just opened the car door and got out of the car, before showing the invitation letter, a young man who obviously dressed differently from the others and seemed to be of a higher status hurriedly opened the iron door and trotted to his side.

"Please, may I ask that you are...Mr. Li Lin from the Gilaman family, right?"

"Yes."

Li Lin just wanted to take out the invitation letter from his arms, but the man who saw his thoughts in advance declined with a smile: "There is no need for the invitation letter, this floating car can prove your identity.

He smiled and said, "After all, in the whole of Uptown, only you are qualified to drive it."

"Thank you, I took this 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 Bonnar Feiros. I joined the Feiros family and was given the surname 'Firos' by the owner of Stevan."

Bonnard performed a standard Piltover aristocratic etiquette to Li Lin, "I will show you around Lanxun Manor before the party starts, if you want."

"Okay, thank you."

"It is my honor to be able to serve such an outstanding genius like you." Bonnard 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 Bonnard's eyes, and seemed to want to take the opportunity to ride the Batian Warrior to have a good time.

But Li Lin didn't do what he wanted.

I came to the party at the agreed time, and it was less than an hour before the start.

Since it was Stevan himself who wrote a letter to invite me, just send someone to take me to see him. Why bother to deal with such a moth and send a servant with a foreign surname to perfuse me, not even a direct descendant.

This is completely inconsistent with the normal party reception process and etiquette.

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

Even if it is the first time, if you want to visit the manor, you have to arrange it after meeting the owner, or the guest takes the initiative.

Ever since Bonnard said that he would take him around the Lanxun Manor, Li Lin felt unhappy.

Is this to show me off first?
"My chariot has an intelligent system, and it can control itself to stop at the position you mentioned." Li Lin said lightly.

"That's it..." Bonnard showed obvious regret in his eyes, and then restrained himself, "Then please come here first."

Compared with Gilaman Manor, Lanxun Manor is more than double the size.

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

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

Lanxun Manor is a retro-style building, almost all of which are made of smooth and bright marble. In some places, it is only matched with high-quality imported wood. The quaint annual rings are clearly visible, dignified and elegant, and it does not start with too much modernity. Bronze grid used.

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

In addition, because it is located in the southern urban area, the law and order situation is naturally not as good as that in the northern urban area.

Guards wearing gray coats with the Ferros family crest and patrolling with guns can be seen everywhere in Lanxun Manor.

If the Gilaman family had such a tight defense before, there might not be any chance for Baobao, Wei, Craig, and Mellow to invade Li Lin's workshop on the top floor.

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

Previously, he only flew through the sky wearing a battle armor, and roughly recorded the external terrain, but he didn't know the internal structure at all.

But in fact, even if something unexpected happens, Li Lin directly transforms the clothes on his body into a battle armor form, and he can just jump out of the window, and there are Batian fighters outside to support him.

It has become his habit to open the map first when he goes to a place, which he liked to do when he used to play games.

The interior decoration style of the Philos family is very different from Gilamann.

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

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

Besides, this is still just a side house.

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

But unlike the exhibition hall full of exhibits that I have seen before, the walls of this exhibition hall are covered with lifelike portraits.

Below these flowers, there are also written the names, dates of birth and death of the owners of the portraits, as well as their achievements before their death.

"Mr. Li Lin, this is the exhibition hall for the achievements of the previous Patriarchs of our Pheros family... This is the first patriarch of our Pheros family, and he was the one who founded the Pheros family.

"Oh yes, and this one, although she is not the Patriarch of Philos, she discovered the 'Original Crystal' more than 100 years ago, which is the prototype of the current Hex Crystal and your upgraded Hex Energy Crystal.

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

Just as Bonnard was introducing the great achievements of the ancestors of the Philos family to Li Lin one by one, he only heard the soft sound of the door shaft turning. A man dressed in a gray and white luxurious dress, looked young and delicate, very A temperamental girl walked in.

She wears light makeup on her face, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, and she wears a standard and polite smile. Her blue eyes are as pure and flawless as blue crystals. Unfurled, it might hang down to her waist.

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

Bonnard looked a little panicked, and saluted the girl very respectfully.

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, feeling a little curious about this very beautiful girl who looked about the same age as Orianna.

According to his guess, this so-called 'Abier' who can make Bonnar so panicked is probably a direct descendant of the Philos family.

"Bonar, I'll just leave it to me to entertain Mr. Li Lin." The girl's voice was clear and sweet, but there was a hint of tension.

It was as if she had never spoken like this before.

Hearing what Abile said, Bonnard couldn't help but frowned, took a deep breath and said, "But Miss Abile..."

"This is the arrangement of my aunt."

"..."

Bonnard's words stuck in his throat just as he was about to refute, and his face changed for a while.

There was a brief silence in the air.

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

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

"Phew - I finally got rid of this annoying bastard!"

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

"Oh sorry sorry... I forgot."

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

"My name is Abil, Abil Ferros, and my elder brother is named Yabus, you should know him." She quickly introduced herself, "I was arranged by my aunt to take you to meet her."

"Grandmother? Do you mean... Camille?"

Hearing Li Lin call out this name, Ai Bier's small face changed slightly, and he quickly waved his hands, "Shh! I want to call Mrs. Gray!"

Uh……

Li Lin scratched his head, the little girl said for a long time that she was completely out of focus, and he still didn't quite understand the current situation.

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