Chapter 358 You Can Actually Hear My Voice? !

After the introduction of Jiawen III, Li Lin had a general understanding of the composition of the great nobles who could accompany the king.

In addition to King Jarvan III at the top of Demacia's power, eight major national management powers are also divided under the king's authority, and the Eight-member Council of Strong Shields is composed of eight great nobles.

They are the Crownguard family in charge of the military, with Tiana Crownguard serving as the supreme military leader and the Grand Marshal of Demacia.

The Demon Seekers Association is in charge of an organization that is independent of politics and military affairs. It is headed by Eldred Crownguard, who is married to Tiana of the Crownguard family and can actually be said to be a bride-in-law.

The Harlan family, which manages the country's aristocratic authority, is led by the head of the family, Wallis Harlan.

The Fitch family, which manages the country's treasury and economic authority, is led by the head of the family, Borg Fitch.

The Cartel family, which manages the country's foreign affairs, is led by Karami Cartel, the legitimate daughter of the current head of the family.

The Omar family, which manages the country's land resources, is led by Clement Omar, the legitimate son of the current head of the family.

The Zachary family, which manages the establishment and enforcement of the country's laws, is led by the head of the family, Newman Zachary.

Finally, there is Isabel, the leader of the Illuminator Church.

She does not belong to any family. She was adopted by the church as an orphan since she was a child. She observes the precepts and practices asceticism. She eventually takes over the position of the previous leader who has returned to Qian Jue's embrace and manages the sect.

In addition to them, Jarvan III also introduced the family members who were accompanying these people to Li Lin.

For example, Barrett's wife Lestara, who looks a little older, but can still see the beauty of her youth through the present.

There was also a person next to them holding Sona's arm. She had shoulder-length black hair. She also had a delicate face, but she looked much stronger. She looked like her biological daughter Kashina who often practiced martial arts.

However, most of them are the wives or husbands of these powerful nobles. There is only one Wallis Harlan like Barrett who has his own children.

Li Lin maintained courtesy, and after the king's introduction, he greeted each dignitary individually.

Perhaps he knew the identity of Zoe Twilight Star Spirit, but she looked around without saying a word, which seemed very "rude".

These people also deliberately ignored her and did not dare to look at her too much.

Li Lin can probably judge how these people treat him based on their responses.

Tiana, Borg Fitch, and Newman Zachary, who are in charge of the treasury economy and national law respectively, all have a cold appearance, which should be due to their personalities.

Clement Omar and Wallis Harlan, who were in charge of land resources and management of the nobility respectively, had disdain in their eyes. They seemed to feel ashamed and indignant that foreigners like Li Lin could be granted official titles. .

Also, Camilla Cattell, who is in charge of foreign teachers, is an "expression management instructor". You can't tell what she is thinking just from her expression, it is very hidden.

The leader of the Illuminator, Isabel, has always maintained a polite and kind smile, giving people a peaceful feeling like a spring breeze.

However, through Li Lin's sensitivity to magic, he could faintly sense the fluctuations of magic in her body.

Besides that, what surprised Li Lin the most was that it was actually Eldred.

This middle-aged man, who is slightly thin and has a few strands of gray in his slicked-back hair. At first glance, he looks quite aristocratic and gentlemanly, but he is actually the most enthusiastic among them.

After the king introduced them to each other, Eldred took the lead to come forward and ask questions, and also talked about the heroic appearance of His Highness the Prince in battle on the front line.

His caring, implicit warmth and friendly smile even gave Li Lin a subconscious illusion. This middle-aged man was like an elder who cared about his younger generations, and was not as bad as he imagined.

If we can rule out his "hypocritical smile" that made Li Lin feel chilled and disgusted at a glance...

Noticing the looks in Jarvan IV's, Tiana's and Barret's eyes, Li Lin politely spoke to Eldred casually.

As if aware that this Ionian young man didn't want to talk to him, a haze flashed across Eldred's eyes.

Afterwards, he continued to maintain a fake enthusiastic smile and went to the other side talking and laughing with Newman, the Minister of Law, and Wallis, the Minister of Management of the Nobles.

"There are still about two hours until the banquet starts. During this period, you have free time. You can get to know Demacia's outstanding young talents."

Jarvan III ended the conversation with Li Lin with a smile, and asked Jarvan IV to entertain Li Lin well. He then respectfully invited Morgana to go deep into the hall and talk to her about important matters.

At this time, Barrett and Lestara came forward with their two daughters.

Just now, Jarvan III only focused on introducing Lestara. After all, she was the woman who once dared to come to the Hall of Valor to accuse the king of inaction when the king just ascended the throne.

It was that time that Lestara made Barrett fall in love with her at first sight, and also made the king slightly change his policy of governing the country to focus on the people.

"Come on, Li Lin, let me introduce my two daughters to you."

Barrett pushed Sona and Kashina in front of him, "This is my and Lestara's eldest daughter Kashina, and this is our youngest daughter Sona."

Although Sona was a child adopted by Bouvier, Barrett never mentioned this identity when introducing her to the outside world. They had already regarded her as their biological daughter.

Kashina raised her skirt gracefully and made a noble salute, "May the Winged Protector protect you, Mr. Li."

"May the Winged Protector God protect you, Miss Kasina, just call me Li Lin."

"You can also just call me by my name Kashina." She smiled and nodded in response.

And Sona, who was half a step behind Kashina and looked a little shy, was holding the box containing the wine, bending her knees and lowering her eyes. She also saluted him and pursed her lips slightly nervously.

Just as Li Lin was about to return the gift, an ethereal and clear girl's voice suddenly came to his ears...

No, to be precise, it was the sound in his mind: "It seems that Mr. Li is an Ionian like me."

Li Lin looked at Sona in astonishment, but this shy girl still kept her eyes lowered and didn't realize what was happening.

"Hey, when can I go back to Ionia again?"

She thought to herself.

Barrett's deep eyes caught a glimpse of Li Lin staring at Sona's expression, and he thought he thought Sona's behavior of saluting with a wooden box in her arms without saying hello was rude, so he quickly explained;

"Sona is a child with congenital aphasia, and this box contains a guqin. It has been with her since she was a child, almost never leaving her...

"I hope you will forgive me if I am rude."

"You misunderstood, Mr. Barrett." Li Lin's mind was spinning rapidly, and he quickly thought of a reason, "Actually, it should be me who is rude...Miss Sona is like a fairy who has fallen into the air of a fairy in the world and is shy of the moon. I'm so sorry that my beauty has distracted me."

Hearing Li Lin describe herself like this, Sona's lips parted slightly, and surprise appeared on her silent face.

She raised her head and glanced at Li Lin quickly, and happened to meet his dark brown eyes. Immediately, her cheeks showed a slight blush, and she quickly missed the eyes she met with him.

Knowing that Li Lin was stunned because of this, Barrett couldn't help laughing, "Everyone has a love for beauty. It seems that even our heroes can't resist Sona's charm!"

Sona's little face turned even redder, and she moved half of her body behind Kashina in embarrassment.

Next to him, Lestara poked him secretly with an angry look, seeming to complain about his "nonsense".

"Speaking of which, our Sona has reached the age of marriage, right?" Jarvan IV thought Sona's shy expression was very interesting, and asked as if he was "booing" from the side, "And Kashina So does the lady."

"Instead of worrying about Sona and me, you should think about your own marriage first, Your Highness!"

Kashina folded her arms and hummed softly, prolonging her tone, speaking "tit for tat" with Jarvan IV.

Because Barrett and Jarvan III were brothers, Kashina was naturally very familiar with Jarvan IV. They often played and studied together in the palace when they were children, so there was no need to be polite.

However, Jarvan IV did not care about these things, but Lestara did not necessarily say so: "Kashina, you must pay attention to etiquette in public places. How can you talk to His Highness like this?"

There was blame in her words.

No matter how good the relationship is in private, this is a king's dinner and a prince's celebration banquet. Even if there are no other people around, the proper etiquette and hierarchical relationship must still be clear.

Kashina turned her face slightly, curling her lips at an angle that Lestara couldn't see. Then she glanced at Jarvan IV who was standing opposite and "gloating" and said nothing.

"Father, really, how could you say that to me? Your Highness the Prince is actually like that too... ugh."

At this time, all the thoughts echoing in Sona's heart were heard by Li Lin, "I am only 17 summers old this year. It is still too early to talk about marriage..."

When she thought about getting married, Sona's cheeks couldn't help but become hotter, showing her shyness.

In order to prevent Sona from having unnecessary misunderstandings, Li Lin racked his brains and finally concentrated on carefully trying to use his thoughts to build a bridge of communication with her as much as possible.

But after trying for a long time, he couldn't make Sona hear his voice.

Although Li Lin has mastered the basics of rune technology, there is no way for people to communicate through "magic sound transmission".

It seems that this kind of "communication of ideas" is just an ability that Sona inadvertently displayed unilaterally.

In desperation, Li Lin was ready to give up the idea of ​​communicating with her mentally for the time being, and wait until he had some free time before taking the initiative to apologize.

But with a soft melody that only he could hear, which made him feel a sudden fluctuation in his heart, Sona on the other side actually raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

"Xiao Hua...actually resonated with him?"

Sona was shocked.

"What kind of resonance? Are you following me?"

As soon as this idea came to Li Lin's mind, behind Kashina, Sona's face looked even more stunned.

"You can actually hear me?!"
