Cataclysm King.

Chapter 547 Return to the Innocence City

"It's been a long time since I've been back to Innocence City. I didn't expect it to change so much."

"Yeah. It feels like civilization has gone back a few eras. There is a magic tower in Downing Street."

"It's normal for there to be a magic tower at this pier. As for that nine-story magic tower, even the ninth-level card masters wouldn't dare to break in."

"."

Not long after, Ji Xun and the others got off the Void Dragon Boat and walked on the streets of Innocence City.

Familiar yet strange.

People from the Southern Continent took control of Innocence City and demolished everything related to machinery. The steam boilers and steel pipes that were once everywhere in the city were completely demolished, and some new castle buildings with obvious southern continental magical style were built.

But many high-rise buildings in the city originally needed mechanical equipment such as elevators. Now without the machinery, they have completely become ancient stair houses.

The mixed styles of architecture in the city give people a strong sense of the clash of civilizations of horse-drawn steam vehicles.

Ji Xun and the other three were walking on the street, inevitably feeling a little emotional.

Now the Iris Legion's occupied area in the Eastern Wasteland is shrinking day by day, and the area it truly has complete control over is Innocence City and several nearby military fortresses.

As for other cities.

They are all Silver Moon believers who can't be killed.

These people in the Southern Continent don’t want to occupy it, and there aren’t that many people who want to occupy it.

They repaired the high walls outside Innocence. Almost all the adventurers and mercenaries from the Southern Continent gathered in this city. They completely regarded the Eastern Wasteland as a treasure hunting ground like a World of Warcraft forest.

It was easy to come to the East Wasteland. Ji Xun and the other three made a slight disguise and came here without almost any trouble.

But it would be very troublesome to go back.

That requires rigorous scrutiny of faith and identity.

The three of them mingled with the crowd and observed the defense force and magic tower layout near the dock.

As we walked, we quietly walked into Downing Street.

Regardless of the changes, Downing Street remains bustling.

Various pubs with familiar signboards are still bustling with people, the girls on the street are still beautiful and enthusiastic, and the unique small building of Hong Tower at No. 1 Downing Street is also brightly lit.

It’s just that almost all the faces coming and going are unrecognizable.

Ji Xun walked on the street, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets in front of him, and felt a strong feeling of the passage of time in his heart.

He had worked as a corpse collector in Innocence City and had been in Honglou, so he was very familiar with this city.

But everything in front of me is not what it was in my memory.

While walking, I suddenly saw an adventure tavern with a signboard of "Old Gun Tavern".

Ji Xun suddenly thought: "Let's go, let's go have a drink?"

He still remembered that this was the pub he sat in when he first came to Innocence City.

What's rare is that most of the shops on the entire street have been replaced, but this shop still looks like it's original.

Nan Jing was very interested and responded: "Okay."

Chujiu said nothing and nodded.

The three of them walked into the tavern and found a seat by the window to sit down.

Ji Xun also took a look at the price of drinks at the bar. The price was much more expensive than before.

I thought it was probably because the brewing industry in Innocence City was destroyed and the output of the original brewery was not that high.

However, the drink list does have a lot of drinks unique to the Southern Continent.

Also, there are many more call girls in the pub than before, and the quality is much higher.

There are even a few girls whose appearance and temperament completely resemble that of noble ladies.

Whenever Ji Xun goes to a strange place, he always observes the surroundings. Looking at one of the young women wearing a red short skirt, she felt familiar.

It was at this glance that Nan Jing keenly caught the difference in his expression. He blinked and asked, "Mr. Ji Xun, do you want to invite a girl to drink with you?"

The drinkers in the tavern are almost all adventurers, and they are all people who are not stingy about spending money to buy happiness.

At this moment, in the tavern, almost every table was occupied by several gorgeous girls enthusiastically accompanying them, and there were alluring scenes of naked legs and **** everywhere.

Probably because of the fierce competition, the girls will almost take the initiative to question every guest who enters the pub.

There were two ladies at Ji Xun's table, so no one bothered them.

Ji Xun smiled upon hearing this, looked at Nanjing, and asked curiously: "Why do you ask that?"

"Ah, I. I thought."

Nan Jing hesitated, his face turning slightly red.

Of course she thought Ji Xun was interested.

Although she didn't say it, she didn't see the close relationship between Ji Xun and Catalina before, and she also guessed some secret methods related to suppressing distortion.

She asked this now not as a joke, but out of concern. I was originally wondering if it was because the witch's deformation requires some physical contact to satisfy her pleasure.

She didn't mind ordering one either.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that Ji Xun had no such idea at all.

"hehe."

Ji Xun looked at the embarrassment on Nan Jing's face, guessed what she was thinking, and chuckled for the rest of his life.

Although this Miss Meatball's strength has increased a lot, her character is still innocent.

Before Wanzitou could hesitate, he directly stated the reason: "If I remember correctly, the girl in the red skirt was once a direct descendant of the Capone family."

This is also the reason why he took a second look before.

Nan Jing seemed to ponder that last name for a moment as he listened, and it instantly overlapped with his memory. He asked in surprise: "The Capone family of the former five major congressman families in the federation?"

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded and said directly: "I don't know you. But I met him once at a dance before."

Upon hearing this, a strange color flashed across the eyes of Nan Jing and Chu Jiu.

You must know that the five major members of the Federation back then were the most powerful dignitaries in the Eastern Wasteland. In terms of title, they were at least dukes.

The young lady of the "Capone family" can truly be called a princess in terms of status.

Now she has become a cheap fashion girl in an ordinary tavern?

Nan Jing felt soft-hearted, and sounded inexplicably sad. He seemed to feel that he should do something, but he didn't know what to do. "Ah, do we want to do this?"

Ji Xun shook his head and interrupted: "No need to interrupt. Everyone has their own destiny. She probably doesn't want to meet someone who once knew her."

War has always been cruel, and this is just a microcosm of countless tragic fates on the battlefield.

When he spoke, he had already retracted his gaze, and a line of cause and effect had already been extended in his mind.

Just then, the bartender brought the wine.

"cheers."

"Well, it's been a while since we had a drink together, cheers."

"."

The three of them clinked glasses, drank, and chatted.

Downing Street outside the window was full of people.

Although the war of conquest in the Eastern Wasteland has come to a standstill, the wealth accumulated over three thousand years is still a good treasure hunt for the people of the Southern Continent.

As long as you have the strength to rob inhabited towns, you can make a lot of money.

Heavily armed mercenaries and adventurers can be seen everywhere on the streets.

At this moment, a hooded man walked into an inconspicuous dark alley and suddenly disappeared into the shadows.

As soon as he disappeared, a few sneaky but completely clueless guys appeared at the entrance of the alley.

At the same time, in the tavern, Ji Xun raised his glass and said: "The intelligence has been confirmed. The people of the Iris Corps originally received the information to attack the royal court, but they accidentally destroyed a secret machinery factory. And I brought back a half-finished 'Titan Armor' and a large amount of production materials. It should be placed in the warehouse of the Third Army, just two blocks next to Downing Street."

Even though the three of them didn't go anywhere, the shadow clone had actually obtained the necessary information.

When Nan Jing heard this, he also said: "Is this information deliberately spread by those people in the Southern Continent? It seems like it is really a bait."

Chujiu rarely spoke and said, "Even if it's a bait, people from the royal family will definitely come."

"yes."

Ji Xun chuckled and nodded.

He could even deduce that the marshal of the Iris Legion was able to leave the mecha in violation of the Holy See's prohibition precisely because he promoted this "bait tactic".

It was an obvious bait tactic, but all three of them knew that the people from the Oran Royal Court had to fall for it.

After all, the "Titan Armor" was too important to King Arthur.

It even concerns future wars and rule.

You must know that mechanical armor cannot be produced with drawings.

That also requires sufficient resources, mechanics, and a large amount of high-precision production equipment.

The more advanced the armor, the higher the demand for talents and equipment.

Talent cultivation takes time, and this cannot be obtained quickly through faith pollution.

When Oran was restored, the Song family could almost wipe out all the high-tech talents in the entire federation, and this was how the New World Science and Technology City was established. It is not easy for the Oran Royal Court to put together a Titan production line.

Now that it has been taken away, I have to get it back no matter what.

What's more, the materials required for the Titan Armor are very rare, especially in the Eastern Wasteland where top-level magic metals are scarce, it is difficult to raise them all.

The Song family was originally called the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce" because they were the largest mine owners in the Eastern Wasteland. According to the estimates of the Song family's mining experts, all the top-level magic metals that have been discovered in Donghuang have been mined, and it will be difficult to build ten Titan armors.

This is why the Oran Royal Court has always been thinking about the Alliance Army. It's because they don't have many people in the Old Continent and they are in urgent need of resources there.

So this time we were put on a production line, they would definitely come.

This is a conspiracy.

"It's not easy to **** those things and people back in Innocence City."

"Yes. With the current defense situation, even if the eighth-level card master comes, there will be no return. As for the ninth-level card master, at the royal court, except for the moon **** Arachne, I can't think of anyone else who has such strength."

"That Moon God probably won't come. The ninth-level marshal of the Iris Legion is waiting for a master to come to his door at 80%. An old **** who has not condensed his godhood will not be able to deal with the strong man who has reached the peak of demigods. It’s not necessarily impossible to handle.”

"Yes. Those three Titan armors obtained from the imperial mausoleum are capable of breaking through, but if they are really damaged here again, they will have no trump card. Tsk tsk, now King Arthur is probably having a headache too."

"I'm afraid there's no chance of grabbing it openly. I think the best solution might be to 'steal'."

"."

The three of them drank wine and analyzed the information they obtained, and found the situation more and more interesting.

The two protagonists of the current game are the Oran Royal Court and the Iris Legion.

Ji Xun and the others were like "bystanders" watching the game between the two parties, deducing with great interest the direction in which the two parties would move next.

But this situation has nothing to do with them.

Of course they came here to see if there was any chance of getting the treasures in the warehouse.

Ji Xun and the others are not interested in being the first person.

But figuring out the layout of both sides of the game may be an opportunity.

But no matter how you look at it, the Oran Royal Court seems to have no chance of winning.

The ninth-level Marshal Andre is a truly top-notch strongman and a veteran on the battlefield. He can definitely think of all the strategies that can be thought of.

Unless the Oran Royal Court can use some unexpected means.

Ji Xun and the others know the Oran Royal Court better than the people in the Southern Continent, and they also know the situation in the Southern Continent better than the people in the Oran Royal Court.

This kind of deduction is also quite fun.

The three of them had drank and it was already evening.

There were a few more people on the streets than in the afternoon.

Various magic lights lit up, illuminating the entire Downing Street in a state of ecstasy and prosperity.

The three of them walked and unknowingly reached the Hong Tower at the end of the street.

It still has its original name, and it is still the most luxurious affluent place in the entire block.

Ji Xun looked at the stilted Hong Tower in front of him and felt inexplicably emotional.

It was Dong Qi who brought him here in the first place, and later he met Qin Rushi, met Catalina, and obtained Dong Jiuye's "Supreme Overlord Body".

Later, the Hong Tower was burned down and the Song family rebuilt it. Here he met Song Yu, whom he had met a hundred years ago.

Ji Xun was slightly lost in thought.

It seems that Honglou is the place where many stories related to me begin.

For a time, there were so many thoughts.

Nanjing Wang on the side also followed Ji Xun's gaze, looking at the brightly lit building reflected in his eyes, and asked: "Ji Xun, I heard that Hong Tower was originally a property of the revolutionary army?"

Ji Xundao: "Yes."

Nan Jing obviously knew about it and said, "Oh. Speaking of which, I've only met the Valkyrie from the Revolutionary Army."

There are also memories shared by the two of them.

She seemed to have remembered something and whispered: "Later I found out that when you killed Governor Cao Yu, the masked man who came to save you was President Qin. I stupidly came out to save you at that time. "

Back then, Qin Ru was the top powerhouse in the Eastern Wilds, while Nan Jing was still a small first-level player at that time.

She always felt that she was really stupid at that time.

"hehe."

Ji Xun smiled when he heard her talking about this incident.

He was unconscious at the time and didn't know what happened.

But later he saw this scene in Qin Rushi's memory.

Obviously at that time, neither Xie Guozhong, Qin Rushi, nor the Cao family could be dealt with by Nanjing.

But the ball-headed lady still mustered up the courage to protect her unconscious self.

Thinking of this, Ji Xunke didn't feel that Nan Jing's original courage was stupid at all.

He touched Tou Nan Jing's head, smiled, and praised, "Because Xiao Nan is a kind, beautiful, and lovely girl."

"ah?"

Nan Jing didn't know why Ji Xun suddenly praised himself, and was a little confused.

Chujiu on the side listened, with a faint smile on his lips.

Nan Jing pursed his lips and muttered something that he could only hear clearly: He touched my head again.

Obviously he is also very powerful, but it seems that when the three of them are together, he always feels like he can't react.

Nan Jing did not think about the previous question, but instead looked at the crowded Hong Tower and asked: "Ji Xun, are we going to Hong Tower? I have never been to a place like this."

She definitely didn't dare to speak before, and she definitely wouldn't go in alone.

But now that Ji Xun is by his side, it seems like he can really go and see it.

As she spoke, her little face was eager to try, and she added: "Well, Sister Chujiu hasn't been there either!"

Chujiu rolled his eyes at her.

"OK."

Of course Ji Xun thought it was okay.

Although Honglou is a Fengyue place, it is not just Fengyue. It can be regarded as a comprehensive entertainment city. It also has the best hotel in Sinless City.

It just so happens that we can find a place to stay tonight.

The three of them walked in.

Ji Xun is already a regular customer, so he is familiar with the family.

The decoration is similar to the last time I came here, except that the mechanical lift was removed and replaced with stairs.

The difference is that the girls are wearing more revealing clothes. Their clothes are like thin gauze scarves. When you walk in, you will see all kinds of beautiful and fair-skinned spring colors.

Although the Southern Continent is an old magical civilization, its ideas are not conservative, and the dragonborn live a very lewd life.

Honglou is still the most upscale fengyuechang, everything here is the best.

The large stage is still retained in the hall on the first floor.

When the three of them came in, the performance on the stage was the traditional song and dance repertoire of Donghuang, but with some more **** scenes of tearing off clothes.

Sometimes, having too good a memory is not a good thing.

When Ji Xun saw it, he saw a few more aristocratic ladies whom he had met at various dinner parties among the actors.

The influence of the law of time on all things is now visible to our eyes.

Ji Xun gave the waiter a small tip, and the three of them were led to a luxurious guest room on the fourth floor.

The one-way windows here provide a perfect view of almost all the performances downstairs.

As a rare distraction, Ji Xun and the other three sat on the soft sofa and watched the program downstairs.

Although the pictures were a bit **** from time to time, Nan Jing was the one who proposed visiting Hong Tower, so she had nothing to say. Occasionally I blush a little, but I enjoy watching it. Those clear eyes were full of crystal clear light.

Chujiu looked as usual.

The relationship between the three of them would not mind this small scene.

Ji Xun is also at ease.

But as he watched, Ji Xun looked at a person in the crowd and suddenly let out a light sigh.

Nanjing and Chujiu both looked over.

Ji Xun didn't wait for them to ask, and said directly: "I met another acquaintance."

"???"

Both women looked puzzled, there was someone they knew.

Ji Xundao: "You may also know Reni from the family of drama gods."

His eyes were fixed on the person in the crowd on the first floor. It was none other than the mechanical puppet master Reni whom he had met in the Thieves City.

When Chujiu and Nanjing heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

The Goddess Operator family is one of the four knight families under the king. They lived in the royal court when they were young, so of course they are no strangers to it.
