Arcane: I Built Mechs in Piltover

Li Lin transmigrated to Piltover on the continent of Valoran. He originally thought his life would pass by uneventfully, until he became an employee of the Kiramman family and discovered he possess...

Chapter 349: Double standards are normal for people

Qin's soul has dissipated.

After taking away Qin's soul, Qian Jue did not stay here.

The sheep spirit nodded slightly to the three of them, then disappeared into the wind along with the wolf spirit.

"Demon Hunter, I've heard of this name." Morgana broke the silence. "In our time, this organization didn't exist."

"According to Demacia's history, it was after your battle with Kayle that the new king established the Demon Seekers' Society, specifically responsible for dealing with mages."

Li Lin frowned in thought, "But why would the Sorcerers be colluding with Noxus? Could it be that the Demacia nobility has been infiltrated by the Black Rose?"

"Black Rose?"

Morgana obviously didn't know what the word meant.

"The leader of this organization was once a subordinate of Mordekaiser, but she joined forces with the barbarian Noxian tribe outside the Immortal Bastion to sever the connection between Mordekaiser's soul and armor, driving him back into the realm of the dead. This is how Noxus came into being."

Li Lin sighed and quickly explained to Morgana, "In other words, the Black Rose is the Noxian organization behind the scenes, in charge of the replacement of each generation of puppet emperors."

Morgana frowned slightly, "But Demacia has a stone wall that forbids magic. The Black Rose shouldn't be able to infiltrate the capital..."

Li Lin shook his head. "That's what I'm confused about."

The description in the original background story was too vague, and the real world could not be completely consistent with the background of the game. He also had no idea what the current situation in Demacia was.

He originally thought that Eldred, who had an extreme aversion to magic, just didn't want to lose his power and didn't want the Demon Hunters Society to be disbanded by Jarvan III, so he secretly sent people to assassinate the king during the chaos.

But now it is not difficult to see the shadow of LeBlanc in the civil strife in Demacia.

Or perhaps even Eldred himself is a "puppet" of the Pale Lady.

Could it be that she is the real mastermind behind the unrest in Demacia?

Zuo Yin, who had been looking at the direction where Kindred had left, returned to Li Lin and Morgana, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you talking about the boring forest?"

Seeing the puzzled expressions on their faces, she stuck out her tongue and explained, "It's the Forbidden Magic Stone Forest. There's no magic power in the environment there, and many things can't be done. The whole country is dead and lifeless. Don't you think it's boring?"

Li Lin and Morgana shook their heads helplessly at the same time, completely ignoring the little girl who had no idea what they were talking about.

"If some high-ranking officials in Demacia are colluding with the Noxians, I can no longer wait for Kayle to return."

Morgana's eyes flashed with a sharp black flame. "This is my country. I swore an oath to protect it from foreign enemies. Even after hundreds of years, this oath still holds true!"

Li Lin looked at her with a hint of surprise, "Are you going back to Xiongdu with us?"

"What?! You actually want to go to the Boring Kingdom?" Zuo Yin leaned forward with a pained face and shook Li Lin's arm pitifully. "Can we not go? Even going back to Piltover is better than there!"

"Of course..." Li Lin noticed the hopeful light in Zuo Yin's childlike eyes, "I can't do that anymore."

"--ah?"

He ignored Zuo Yin's drawn-out tone and disappointed expression and continued to look Morgana in the eye.

"I know that King Jarvan III intends to promote the reform of the Magic Code. With your help, this process may be very smooth."

"I did think about returning to Demacia, but..." She pursed her lips and frowned, her tone hesitant. "It's been so long since I've been back, even the world has forgotten me. And now this country is so utterly hostile to magic. Can they really accept me?"

Morgana lowered her eyes and paused. "Or, they will feel disgust and reject me, just like how Kyle and Gudian slandered me hundreds of years ago..."

Knowing her concerns, Li Lin couldn't help but laugh, "Do you care what they think of you?"

Morgana gave him a questioning look.

"I might not have expressed myself clearly enough. Let me rephrase that." He asked again in a deliberately teasing tone, "Even if they truly hate and reject you, what can you do about it?"

"this……"

"As one of the hosts who inherited the power of the righteous astral spirits, are you afraid of a bunch of ordinary people?"

“…”

Morgana fell into a brief silence.

"That's right, your magic can't even suppress the boring stones, and you are still afraid of those ordinary humans?" Zuo Yin cheered from the side.

Sensing the continued hesitation, Li Lin shook his head and smiled, "When your strength is mediocre, your magical talent will become a burden, and the demon hunters will be able to get rid of you easily.

“When you become powerful, your magical talent will be seen as a threat by the demon hunters. They will send more troops and do their best to eliminate this threat.

“But when your strength becomes extraordinary, even to the point where humans cannot even dream of it, they will treat you as a guest of honor, because you have the power to easily destroy their rule.

"After you and Kyle inherited the power of the Aspect of Justice, wasn't that what those who fled the Rune War to the Western Forbidden Magic Stone Forest and grew disgusted with magic did?"

The nano armor on Li Lin's neck extended and quickly turned into a helmet covering his head, making his voice a little muffled.

"Humans are advanced animals with complex emotions, so it's normal for them to have double standards."

After saying that, he first determined the movements of Jarvan IV and his army, then confirmed it on the map and asked Zuo Yin to open a portal leading directly to their marching path.

"Do we have to go there..." Zuo Yin sighed.

"Actually, there are still many interesting places in Demacia. How can you say it's boring if you haven't been there?"

"Well...if this isn't fun, you have to go on another date with me!" Zuo Yin stretched out five slender fingers, each as thin as a scallion root. "Five times, five times~~!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Li Lin helplessly unfolded his hand armor and rubbed Zuo Yin's soft long hair. She put on a comfortable expression, with a slight blush on her cheeks.

She really enjoyed Li Lin's caress.

"Okay, when we get to Xiongdu, I will definitely take you to some fun places."

"Well, okay."

Zuo Yin made an incomprehensible nasal sound, then moved his fingers and drew a big circle in front of himself and Li Lin.

The golden light was dazzling, the round "golden cake" solidified, and soon a completely different scene appeared on the other side.

Zuo Yin hummed an unknown melody, took brisk steps, and skipped over first.

As Li Lin walked outside the circular portal, he looked back at Morgana, who was still lost in thought. "Are you coming? Demacia's winged protector."

Hearing this, Morgana raised her head, her eyes flickering with a strange color. "Like I said before, you have a talent for debate, Li Lin."

After saying that, the corners of her mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc, "You convinced me."
