"The craftsmen of our Jiraman family have recently developed a device that can teleport over extremely long distances, covering distances of thousands of kilometers in just tens of seconds.
"This mechanical device is called the 'Hex Flying Gate'. We are here to discuss with Governor Saga where to build it."
Hextech flying gate?
Ultra-long-distance teleportation?!
Isn't this something that only magic can achieve?
Cassiopeia and Sivir's eyes flashed with astonishment at the same time, and they thought Li Lin was bragging.
But when they noticed the serious expression on the young craftsman's face, they realized that what he said might not be false.
Li Lin saw the shock in the two people's hearts, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.
"By then, when Hexgates are built in Shurima, Noxus, Demacia, Bilgewater, and Ionia, the economic flow and trade speed between all city-states will be greatly increased!"
And whoever wants to use it has to pay you a lot of taxes, right?
Cassiopeia felt very solemn.
Since the Midalda family of Piltover has participated in the research of this Hextech technology, even if Noxus introduces this technology in the future, it will not be the turn of the Du Caucas family to participate.
After all, Medarda has a branch in Nokonesas, a family controlled by that old woman...
We have to find a way to pry the so-called "Hextech Flying Gate" technology out of this guy.
Thinking of this, Cassiopeia's gaze returned to Li Lin, and the smile on her face became even wider.
However, Xiweier had another idea in his mind:
If Nashramé could really build such a device, then more and more people from all over the world would come to Shurima to explore.
Then I'll have to think about how to expand the mercenary group's business. Wouldn't that earn me more gold coins...
Xiweier's eyes lit up, and there was a mixture of emotions in her eyes as she looked at Li Lin.
I have to build a good relationship with this guy. If I can win his favor, I won’t have to worry about my future.
Feeling the two people's burning gazes, Li Lin just kept smiling and drank his beer silently.
Li Lin, who knew Cassiopeia and Sivir well, could easily guess what they were thinking. He knew their backgrounds and personalities very well.
Of course, he had his own ideas for revealing the "Hextech Flying Door" to the two of them in advance.
The first is to use this technology to lure Cassiopeia, so that she will later agree to go with them with herself and Kassadin.
Secondly, Li Lin wanted to use this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Sivir, a member of the royal family who has the blood of Azir, the last emperor of the Shurima Empire.
After Azir is resurrected and becomes a god-warrior again, his relationship with Sivir will be the key to his communication with the aloof emperor.
The time given to the two was enough to think about it. Li Lin began to take the lead in the topic and deliberately hinted at their plans.
"Although the heads of the various families in Piltover believe that Governor Saga of Nashramé is capable of protecting our property, the security here is not as good as that of Piltover...
Li Lin's gaze lingered on Xiweier intentionally or unintentionally, without hiding his intentions.
"If possible, could I ask Captain Sivir to send someone to provide protection for our craftsmen? Of course, money is not a problem."
"...This?" Sivir looked a little embarrassed and cast her gaze towards Cassiopeia.
She has a limited number of mercenaries under her command, only a few dozen people.
Most of them had parted ways with the Zhaihalo Mercenary Group long before she left the former leader, Aiha Zhaihalo, to die in the middle of the desert.
This time, Cassiopeia hired more than 20 people, which was almost their main force.
As for the remaining manpower, it was no longer enough to provide protection for Li Lin's craftsmen.
"Unfortunately, Captain Sivir has been hired by us." Cassiopeia showed an apologetic expression on her face.
She looked Li Lin up and down, then glanced at Kassadin who was sitting at the bar, and asked in a curious tone:
"I see that this armor and the floating robots outside are more than enough to provide protection for the craftsmen, right?"
After waiting for you for so long, you finally took the bait and asked this question.
"I have other things to do." Li Lin suppressed his smile and pointed at Kassadin. "I'm going south with my friend to visit his hometown. I need to take those mechanical devices with me."
Being able to allow Li Lin to build a similar power armor and even allow him to return to his hometown together, I guess their relationship must be very good...
Cassiopeia pondered this and then asked, "Heading south? I wonder where his hometown is? We might be going the same way, so we can travel together and look after each other."
Xiweier glanced at the noble lady, raised her eyebrows slightly, and was surprised by her choice.
However, Cassiopeia is the employer after all, so it is her business how many people she wants to add to the expedition team, and she has no control over it.
Sivir shook her head and continued to drink in silence.
"That's great! I was just worried that I had no other choice except Captain Sivir's mercenary group."
Li Lin raised his beer to toast Cassiopeia, then told her his itinerary.
Cassiopeia was delighted to hear that their routes for the first half of their journey were roughly the same. "That's perfect! We can escort you to the ruins of the Sun City."
She asked the boss to refill the three glasses, then raised her glass and clinked it with the two men. "Then... a happy cooperation?"
Li Lin's brown-black pupils swept across their faces, and he chuckled softly, "It's a pleasure to work with you. I'll have to trouble you two to take care of us on the rest of the journey..."
