[Congratulations! You have contacted 35 heroes, increased your level by 2, and gained 2 skill points.]
As expected, the level increase from meeting "heroes" is more stable...
Li Lin looked at the 252 skill points he already had, and suppressed the urge to add more points right away, temporarily ignoring the system reminder in his mind.
Just as he was about to catch up with Jarvan IV, Zuo Yin beside him grabbed his sleeve like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
"What's wrong?"
Li Lin turned around in confusion, only to be met with Zuo Yin's displeased look.
"I don't agree!"
"...Ah? What do you disagree with?" Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You mean Sona?"
As soon as her name was mentioned, Zuo Yin puffed up his lips. "Besides being big, what else is good about that big cow? She can't talk, and you just met her. How could you... Ugh!"
Before she could finish her words, Li Lin hit her head hard, causing her to whimper in pain, and the rest of her words were swallowed back into her stomach.
Sometimes, children can be quite jealous and possessive, and Zuo Yin, who has always maintained his childishness, is no exception.
Li Lin had already confirmed his relationship with Caitlin before she arrived, so Zuo Yin couldn't say anything more.
Now, the ambiguity between Li Lin and Sona caused by their concealment and inappropriate expression has caused the little girl's dissatisfaction to erupt again.
"Mingming, it was obviously me who came here first!" Zuo Yin had tears in his eyes and was muttering angrily.
Li Lin glanced at the people around him, trying his best not to make himself and Zuo Yin stand out, then put one hand on her shoulder and half-bent down.
"Didn't I teach you to be polite to others? How could you say that about Sona?"
"But!" Zuo Yin could see that Li Lin seemed really angry, so his tone softened. "But you already have me... and Caitlin."
"Don't argue with me." Li Lin glared at her. "You should have sensed the sudden connection between Sona and me. I just made up an excuse. You know I didn't mean it that way."
As he spoke, Li Lin just looked up and his sight just missed the crowd and met Sona, who was among the Buville group of the Crown Guard family who had just arrived at the Radiant Hall.
Sona was no longer as shy as when they first met. The corners of her cherry-red lips curled up slightly, and she smiled at Li Lin actively.
He also returned the salute, and while Zuo Yin was not paying attention, he quickly turned his gaze in the direction of Jarvan IV.
The prince had already started chatting with Garen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Seeing Li Lin looking towards him, he waved to him again, motioning him to come over.
"Okay, Zuo Yin, I really don't have that kind of feelings towards Sona right now." Li Lin gently rubbed Zuo Yin's head and slowed down his tone, "There's no need for you to be angry about this."
Zuo Yin was still a little worried, with a skeptical expression, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. What's the point of me lying to you?"
"Okay, I believe you." Zuo Yin snorted, "But... don't let me find out that you're a sneaky cat!"
Speaking of cats, you are the kitten with an irritable personality, right?
Li Lin pinched Zuo Yin's little face, making her giggle, then stood up and walked towards Jarvan IV and Garen.
Before he could get close, Jarvan IV came over, followed by a curious-looking Garen.
"This is the Li Lin I was telling you about. He saved me from that powerful blood-sucking pest."
Jarvan IV kept smiling as he patted Garen on the shoulder and introduced them to each other.
"Li Lin, this is the Garen Crownguard I mentioned to you. He's made great contributions on the Freljord border over the years, purging the cultists from the Tranquil Forest and bravely fighting alongside the guards of Whitestone. He was recently summoned back by my father to receive a commendation."
Garen scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "You are too kind, Your Highness. It's not really that exaggerated."
"On the way back, I heard His Royal Highness the Prince mention the reputation of Lord Galen every day."
Li Lin smiled, crossed his arms, and bowed to him.
"No, no, no matter what, I can't compare to you." Garen hurriedly returned the greeting, then smiled bitterly. "Your Highness, I heard that you have your own mechanical army? Can you tell me more about it?"
Li Lin saw Garen staring at him with sharp eyes and an expectant look on his face, and suddenly he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Garen, the future pillar of Demacia, the Sword Captain of the Fearless Vanguard, who was named the Power of Demacia, now actually spoke to him using honorifics.
Have I been through so much in just over two years?
Li Lin took a deep breath, put aside his distracting thoughts, and smiled politely, "Of course."
Afterwards, he focused on telling Garen about the mechanical engineers commonly seen in Piltover and the air combat mechanical storm formation that escorted Jarvan IV.
As for the two types of battlefield mechas that were displayed in order to show momentum and force away the Bloody Lady Noradi, which gave Jarvan IV and his team only a brief glimpse, they were only briefly mentioned.
He only mentioned Gaibojia, who killed the dragon, and directly ignored the Tyrant Mecha.
The people of Demacia are not united. Even walls have ears, not to mention that this is a banquet hall with many people and eyes.
There are many people in power here who have ulterior motives, so Li Lin will not reveal some of his cards.
"It's even bigger than Galio's effigy, and it can easily kill a dragon?!" Garen couldn't help but gasp. "Is this true?"
