"Li Lin! You're finally here."
As soon as Li Lin stepped into the tavern, he heard Vander's slightly anxious voice coming from the bar.
There was not only Vandel in the Fugen Tavern today, but also Benso, Sevika, the bald strong man I had met before and a group of other people were there.
Except for Benso and Fandel who were sitting at the bar, the others were sitting in groups of three or five in different places in the tavern.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it still early?"
Li Lin turned his head in confusion and looked at Li Weike's clock on the side of the tavern. It was not even ten o'clock yet.
They agreed to meet at twelve o'clock, but there were still more than two hours left.
Li Lin looked around in confusion, "Why are there so many people here today?"
"Look at my memory. I've been so busy lately that I forgot to send you a voice tube to inform you."
Vandel, whose body and complexion had fully recovered, slapped his head and looked like he had a headache.
"A week ago, these alchemy barons seemed to have made an appointment. The original meeting place was the tavern, but they suddenly asked to change the venue."
Li Lin's eyelids twitched. He had a bad feeling. "Did they ask where we should move to?"
"The plant cultivation center is the territory of the alchemist baron Renni." Benso answered for Vandel.
Then, Sevika added, "That place is next to the Border Market, the territory of that idiot Finn, and there's also a Thaumaturgy School under the protection of that old Yodel Barritt. They're probably allied."
Li Lin couldn't help but frown, and turned his puzzled eyes to Fandel.
"Well, I said before that among the five Alchemy Barons who have fought with me all the way to this day, there are three of them."
He sighed wistfully, "I suppose Longfellow and Bonnie went with them."
"Hmph, what a bunch of ungrateful bastards! Vander, you should have just left these damn bastards to fend for themselves and die on the streets." Benso cursed with a cold snort.
"Don't say that. We are all brothers and sisters who have come this far together..."
Vander felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, which made his chest feel suffocated.
They had sworn together "everything for Zaun" a few years ago, and were brothers and sisters who were as close as brothers and sisters, willing to live and die together.
Now, for their own benefit, they are willing to exploit people of the same status as them, and even unite to boycott me...
People change.
Fandel was well aware of this statement, but he had not expected them to change so quickly.
It turns out that human hearts cannot withstand the test of time and greed.
Li Lin noticed his complicated expression, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What about the other two newly promoted Alchemy Barons? Who are they?"
Sevika drank the beer in her glass, wiped her mouth and replied:
"One is Mrs. Voss, who controls several mines in the ditch. The other is Mrs. Lanner, who made her fortune with the patents for alchemical technology robots. She mainly operates in the robot manufacturing industry and has trade with people in the upper city."
I have to say that Sevika's intelligence ability is really outstanding.
Even Vandel and Benso didn't know much about these two alchemy barons, but she knew all their information.
"Mrs. Voss enjoys torturing miners. She is an absolute pervert. At least five workers die at her hands every month.
"In comparison, Mrs. Lanner is much kinder, but due to her early years living in the gutter, her body has been corroded and her health is extremely poor."
Sevika asked her men to refill her beer, then took another sip. "Honestly, I don't understand why, given Lanner's physical condition, she actually agreed to attend this meeting..."
Li Lin didn't take Sevika's last complaint to heart; that wasn't the point.
The key point is how to deal with the alliance of Vandel's five former subordinates and a sadistic psychopath who has no idea what he wants to do.
And there is Lanner, who made his fortune with the patent of alchemical technology robots. It is very likely that he is the guy who plagiarized the invention of the young and ignorant Victor.
Her purpose should be very clear, which is to develop this power armor that she invented.
But it is obvious that her ideas can be realized in dreams.
After all, the power armor is different from the abridged version of the submarine engineering armor given to the Gilaman family.
This technology is very dangerous and must be kept firmly in your own hands.
Of course, these are all Li Lin’s own guesses.
It's not impossible that Lanner has other purposes...
"I think these bastards obviously have bad intentions. How are you going to deal with them?" Benso's curse interrupted Li Lin's thoughts.
"It takes more than ten minutes for us to take the elevator to the upper level of Zaun. How long will it take to get to the plant cultivation center?" Li Lin asked Vander.
"Well..." He showed a thoughtful expression and calculated briefly, "Probably half an hour."
"Well, including the time we have to wait for the elevator, it might take a while. It will probably take more than an hour in total..."
Li Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's wait until eleven o'clock to set off."
"ah?"
Now not only Fandel, but also Benso and Sevika were stunned.
"We agreed to meet at twelve o'clock. Shouldn't we go earlier? At least we should be on time."
Fandel didn't understand what Li Lin meant and looked puzzled. "If we leave at 11 o'clock, won't we be late?"
Li Lin chuckled, "How come you, as a boss, don't have any dignity at all?"
"What does "bige" mean?"
Fandel scratched his head, obviously not understanding the words that only existed on this Earth.
