Chapter 398 You have changed here
“In order to have cutting-edge combat power as soon as possible, the strong men within the Allied Forces have been frequently looking for opportunities to advance. The old continent is rich in resources, and we are very lucky. The exploration team also found some seventh-level materials in the ruins. Oh, the most important thing is because of your introduction to Mr. Aragorn, which allowed us to contact the Dragon Rebel Army, and we also obtained a lot of ancient Warcraft bloodline materials from there. And precious extraordinary knowledge."
"You know, although Donghuang is weak, it has been trapped in the seventh-level bottleneck for three thousand years. There are also many seniors trapped in the sixth level within the Allied Forces, after obtaining the materials. Everyone tried to advance, and finally succeeded in advancing a few. General Lagon was one of them.”
“It just so happened that there was [Wind Demon’s Ancestral Blood] in the material that was very suitable for him, which made it easier for him to do so. General Lagon successfully integrated the seventh-level professional card [Wind Demon Swordsman]."
"."
Catalina explained in detail the recent situation of the coalition forces.
Ji Xun was not surprised when he heard this.
It is difficult to understand the path to advance "divine power", but if one uses the method of transforming blood to obtain the gene chain of alien creatures to stabilize the power of the demon, this method is already very mature in the Southern Continent.
This is not difficult for the Donghuang Level 6 card master who has laid a solid foundation at Level 6.
Hearing this, he also knew what Catalina was going to say, and smiled: "So, the surge in strength has given some people ideas?"
"Yes."
Katrina's tone was also a little helpless.
She shrugged and said: "Originally, this was a good thing for our Alliance Army. After all, having high-end combat power plays a particularly crucial role in the war. However, most of the senior leaders in the Alliance Army were from the Federation. As a noble, some old ideas are difficult to change over time."
As he spoke, the sharp light in the young helmsman of the Lion Heart Family disappeared.
These words are absolutely impossible for her, a commander-in-chief, to say to outsiders.
Only with Ji Xun, an old friend, can we confide in him.
Katrina continued: "When our Lionheart family moved to the Old Continent, some forces were actually forced to come. After all, without the Lionheart family, they would not be able to do anything in the Eastern Wasteland. Among them are several families from my mother’s side, the Lawson family, the Bebo family, and the Moulton family. General Ragon is the representative of the Moulton family.”
“.”
As Ji Xun listened, he also recalled the power represented by these family names.
In the past, marriages between the upper-class families in the Federation were so intricate that if we really wanted to be serious, they were almost all distant relatives.
The Lionheart family, once the "number one warlord in the Federation," was actually a collection of various interest groups tied together.
There are dozens or hundreds of families, large and small.
Katrina continued: "When the Alliance Army first came, they faced a very harsh living environment. We, the Lionhearts, stood on the table, but those people did not dare to say anything, and they were happy to see us there. The biggest risk was at the front, but then the exploration in the ruins gradually yielded results, and countless precious resources were discovered, such as this mechanical battle fort."
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Later. Because of you, we have contact with the Dragon Rebel Army, so that we can quickly reach the realm of super card masters. And now, the focus of the Southern Continent is in the Eastern Wasteland. The Oran Royal Family is busy developing the Silver Moon Sect. Our alliance. The situation of the army is not bad. Not long after these good days, some people have some ideas."
Ji Xun guessed what she wanted to say and said with a smile: "So, that General Lagon wants to. Marriage? ”
The Lionheart family also has a lot of experts and background. The key is to have absolute leadership in the alliance army.
It is impossible to fight.
So he must have thought of this tried and tested method of the aristocracy seeking power.
“Yes.”
Katerina was not surprised that he could guess it.
Looking at each other, those crystal eyes seemed to be able to speak, and there was a full smile on the corners of the eyebrows.
Before Ji Xun could speak, she added: "General Lagon's nephew, Major General Mick, is very talented and has fifth-level strength. After all, that guy is still my distant cousin. In the past, within the family The clan elders have mentioned marriage many times. Even my mother lobbied for me to consider it.”
“.”
Ji Xun’s expression did not change as he listened.
The content of the chat was serious, but Catalina’s tone sounded relaxed.
Ji Xun didn't realize that she had a plan.
Even if she didn't come, she could solve it herself.
Katrina said: "But you know, if I am willing to be a bargaining chip for marriage, I will never sit in this position. I don't think the future of the Allied Forces is stable by marriage. And this Once I open my mouth, it will set a very negative example for others in the future. But I am the commander of the alliance army, and I cannot do things that are not conducive to unity. This time, General Lagon came. , most likely because of this. After all, I am an elder, so I would be very embarrassed if I really want to speak out in person."
As she said that, she leaned forward slightly, bent over, and looked at it with a smile. Looking at Ji Xun beside him.
The two did not speak, and the atmosphere in the room was slightly subtle.
Catalina looked at Ji Xun's face for a while, without trying to figure out what the other party was thinking, and added: "Of course, the most important thing is, I don't want to get married."
Ji Xun didn't say anything. In fact, the cause and effect have been deduced.
He looked at the pretty face in front of him, which was less than half a meter away, and said in a joking tone: "So, I have to go to this dinner?"
The distance between the two is very close. , so close that you can clearly see the thoughts in the other person's eyes.
Hearing this, Catalina raised her eyes slightly: "Of course!"
There was a rare provocation and arrogance on that pretty face, and she said in a tough tone: "You are my best friend. You have to help me with this."
As she said that, she winked. Blinking, his eyes were full of teasing, and there was a hint of serious admiration, and he sneered: "As long as you show up, any 'genius' will be eclipsed in front of you. No one will mention it anymore." "
Ji Xun smiled noncommittally and responded: "Yeah. "
It's not a troublesome question, so of course he won't refuse.
I just happened to agree to a delicious meal for Ivan.
"Thank you."
Katerina also nodded with satisfaction.
The atmosphere in the room returned to its previous relaxed state.
One person is reading and the other is sitting aside.
Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time feel harmonious even if they don’t speak.
The relationship between the two is more like that of close allies.
You can be unguarded, you can share all the secrets of each other, you can have the trust of life and death together
They have always been in this very happy relationship, step by step until now.
Ji Xun knew very well that the most important thing in Catalina's heart must be her lofty ambitions.
Everything else comes next.
And Catalina also knew very well how different this friend Ji Xun was.
It is precisely because of this mutual understanding and recognition that the two feel happy to get along.
The two chatted about their respective experiences in the recent period. Unconsciously, time flew by and it soon became evening.
"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
The maid asked softly from outside the door: "Miss, General Lagon has arrived. Are you ready for the banquet now?"
There are still two hours left for the dinner, but do ladies from noble families need to dress up? less time.
Katerina responded: "Okay!"
After receiving the answer, the four young maids outside the house opened the door and walked in.
They looked at the strange man in the room. Although their expressions did not change much, their eyes could not conceal their surprise.
After all, my lady has never invited a man to her room.
Katrina ordered: "Rita, help me prepare the white dress."
As she said, she added: "Also, the one under the dress Take out the suit and help Mr. Ji Xun put it on."
As Ji Xun listened, he realized that this young lady from the Lionheart family seemed sure that she would help, and even prepared a dress for herself.
The brown-haired maid in the lead responded: "Okay, miss."
After explaining, Catalina looked back at Ji Xun and said with a sly smile: "It's custom-made for you. It's just the size I remembered from the last time we met."
As she said that, she looked at something in her eyes and muttered : "It seems that you have become stronger recently, and I don't know if it fits you."
"Yes. As long as it can be worn."
Ji Xun had an indifferent expression on his face.
It didn’t take long for the four maids to prepare everything.
The study and dressing room are separated by a door, just within sight.
I have to say that the appearance of the noble lady attending the banquet really opened Ji Xun's eyes.
The maids prepared the dressing table. There were dozens of jewelry boxes alone. After opening them, the dazzling array of jewelry made the whole room sparkle. All kinds of luxurious shoes were displayed like an exposition. A cabinet; cosmetics are more like an alchemist's workbench, with colorful bottles and jars everywhere.
Looking at Catalina and Ji Xun still in the study, the maid Rita asked tentatively: "Miss, do you want to change your clothes and put on makeup now?"
Katrina stood up immediately and responded: "Yes."
As soon as these words came out, several maids obviously had wrong expressions.
Their eyes were wandering, and their peripheral vision glanced behind the desk from time to time.
There is another man in this room.
Of course Ji Xun noticed it, and made a show of getting up and going out: "I'm going out for a walk."
"Don't bother. You have to change your dress anyway, just change here together. ”
Catalina didn't care at all. She turned her head and glanced at him. The teasing look in her eyes seemed to be saying: It's not like you haven't seen me change clothes before. Now you know how to avoid it?
“.”
Ji Xun understood this expression and couldn’t laugh or cry.
Among these maids, there should be an informant from her mother's side.
This was the plan from the beginning when I took myself to visit the Machinery City.
Since the other party said so, Ji Xun had nothing to feel uncomfortable about.
It turns out that this is not the first time.
Both of them didn't mind.
Katerina was even more generous. After she finished speaking, she walked directly to the dressing room.
As he walked, he unbuttoned his military uniform, and the maid helped take off his coat and hung it on the clothes beside him. Then, as all the maids looked at each other, Catalina unbuttoned her shirt and took it off without anyone else.
A large area of snow-white skin is exposed to the air, and the crystal lamp shines on the skin, glowing like white jade.
The maids were still a little dazed, but Catalina had already reached out to her back and unbuttoned the back of the lace bra. Without any hesitation, she squeezed and loosened, and then her entire upper body was uncovered. broke into someone's field of vision.
Then came the straight trousers of the military uniform, and then the more intimate and intimate clothes were taken off one by one.
Katrina took off all her clothes very naturally without any awkwardness in her movements.
Although his back is to the study, as long as he raises his head, he can see the graceful figure from behind.
However, even if the other party doesn't mind. Ji Xun also knew how to measure and watched Catalina's dressing process without being rude.
The maids were obviously at a loss and didn't know how to deal with this unprecedented situation.
No one greeted him, so he waited patiently and continued to read the books.
Not long after, the sound of pattering water suddenly stopped, Catalina walked out after taking a bath, and the maids also became busy.
You couldn't see that angle in the study room, but Ji Xunben didn't focus his eyes there, and just calmly immersed himself in reading.
I just heard the rustling sound of getting dressed.
A long time passed.
At this moment, Catalina's voice suddenly came to mind in the dressing room: "Ji Xun, can you help me see which necklace is suitable?"
As she said it, she looked like she couldn't wait any longer. He stuck out his head and urged: "You also come here and try on your clothes. If they don't fit, you can change them."
Ji Xun looked at Catalina, who had already put on exquisite makeup, and his eyebrows moved slightly: "Okay."
He put away the books and walked over.
At this time, Catalina was wearing a gorgeous white dress with a fluffy skirt.
The stars are dotted under the light, as gorgeous as dreamy clouds woven from crystal silk.
The evening dress is a low-cut sexy design that elegantly outlines her smooth collarbone lines and white pride. It not only loses the freshness and purity of a girl, but also has the sexy charm of a young woman. The two blend perfectly on her body, without being obtrusive.
Catalina's model is already very good, and now she is even more stunning with her exquisite makeup.
At this level, the addition of temperament to charm is the key. The invisible aura of a superior person lingers, giving people a sense of nobility and majesty like a queen.
Standing under the light in a plain white dress, her whole body seemed to be glowing.
Even Ji Xun couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw it.
Katrina caught the admiring gaze in the mirror and asked proactively: "Does it look good?"
Gentleman Ji Xun smiled: "Very beautiful."
"Thank you."
Katerina's eyes were graceful, and her full smile bloomed like delicate roses on her cheeks.
As she spoke, she gestured to the gemstone necklace in her hand and asked, "Which one do you think is more suitable?"
In addition to the one on her neck, there were two purple gemstones in her hand. Necklaces, colorful crystal necklaces, the maid on the side has three more in her hands
The jewelry in this world has magic inscriptions, is shiny, and is produced by masters. There is nothing unsightly about it.
Ji Xun is not a Moji person. He took a look and said directly: "The one with the moiré crystal."
Hearing this, Catalina finally stopped being entangled. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Yeah. I think so too."
Not long after, Catalina, who was wearing a plain white dress, took Ji Xun's arm and walked out of the door.
If the two of them visited the Machinery City before, they could be said to be friends.
So now we can express a lot of meaning by dressing up and attending a banquet together.
It must be said that although the lives of high-ranking nobles are mostly corrupt, there is nothing to say about their aesthetics.
Katrina is wearing a chiffon dress, which is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away; while Ji Xun is wearing a straight black suit, and his whole body also exudes extraordinary temperament.
On the top of the Machinery City, not many people saw it.
But this was enough to spread the news to the entire top leadership of the Alliance Army.
There are still a few minutes left for the dinner. As the commander-in-chief, Catalina can of course make her final appearance.
The two took the elevator downstairs in a hurry.
When we arrived at the banquet hall, there were already hundreds of people here.
Most of them were wearing military uniforms, and there were many generals.
The reception was of a very high standard and was attended by high-level officials from nearby allied forces.
Walking to the door, Catalina naturally took Ji Xun's arm, looked at each other, and walked in.
This move is probably to show his attitude to his friend: Don’t be timid while you are here.
Ji Xunke is not afraid at all.
Even when faced with the gazes of pairs of battle-hardened generals, his expression remained as calm as ever.
As soon as the two entered, they immediately became the focus of the entire banquet hall.
Although Ji Xun had never seen anyone in the banquet hall, he had seen photos of many of them in newspapers before and took note of them as soon as he saw them.
Similarly, none of these high-level leaders of the Allied Forces knew Ji Xun, but they were no strangers to him.
Because this guy’s wanted order is still at the top of the list of the Eastern Wasteland Bounty Hunters Guild.
Also, before they came in, they had already heard that the commander-in-chief of their allied forces had brought a "friend".
Anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on at this banquet.
Now that Catalina has brought this friend, it's very interesting.
However, Katarina has a high prestige in the Allied Forces. Not only is she the leader of the Lionheart Family, but more importantly, her leadership skills are obvious to all.
The vast majority of people are convinced, supportive and understand.
Even if they hope for a marriage, they also hope that the Allies will develop better.
Only General Lagon and his nephew Mick, who had been rejected many times, looked unhappy.
Catalina led Ji Xun all the way in. The senior officials greeted each other. She also took the initiative to introduce Ji Xun's identity: "This is Mr. Ji Xun. As I said before, he has helped our allies overcome difficulties many times. The mysterious ally."
Although the identity of the two people was not stated clearly, their close attitude was already there.
Although Ji Xun doesn't like such useless social situations, he can play the role perfectly in any environment.
He acted as a shield and followed Catalina all the way to meet the high-ranking Allied forces.
Hearing that Ji Xun was the matchmaker between the Alliance Army and the Dragon Rebel Army in the Southern Continent, the eyes of most people became friendly.
They are all senior leaders of the Allied Forces, so of course they know some inside information.
It was just the "mysterious matchmaker" I had mentioned before, but I didn't expect it to be this famous wanted criminal.
However, the Federation has collapsed, the five major parliamentary families have passed away, and the status of wanted criminals is no longer important.
More importantly, everyone in the banquet hall was secretly amazed by Ji Xun's calm temperament.
After all, General Lagun is an old man in the army, and his nephew Mick is also one of his own.
Although many people were dissatisfied with the original marriage between Katarina and Mick, it was an internal matter between them after all.
Now that an "outsider" has stepped in, the top Allied forces instinctively turned to the outside world.
I thought that no matter who came, the high-ranking Allied forces would give them a look and give them a thumbs up.
However, unexpectedly, Ji Xun walked into the banquet hall step by step, with a calm expression on his face from beginning to end.
It is not sharp, but it makes everyone feel a kind of landslide and the indifference that does not change in front of them.
They didn't know where Ji Xun's confidence came from, but just his temperament was enough to show that he was extraordinary.
However, in the eyes of his love rival, Ji Xun's attitude was entirely due to Catalina's protection.
When Ji Xun entered the door, he noticed the most eye-catching place in the distance. A beautiful woman who still had charm was chatting with a general with gray temples and a resolute face.
He knew both of them.
One is Catalina's mother, and the other is General Lagon.
As for next to him, there was a young general holding a wine glass and smiling apologetically. Naturally, it was Young Master Mick.
Then there are several elders of the Lionheart family.
Katrina walked to a few people holding Ji Xun's hand and greeted them proactively: "Mother, General Lagon."
As she said that, she introduced Ji Xun: " This is Ji Xun, my good friend, and the ally who I said has provided a lot of help to our allies."
After the introduction, everyone's eyes fell on Ji Xun's face. superior.
Ji Xun smiled calmly, as if meeting his parents and saying hello one by one.
Etiquette is still indispensable.
Katrina's mother looked Ji Xun up and down. Although her expression was not much strange, her eyes were obviously not happy.
No matter who Ji Xun is, he is not as close as his mother's family.
What the old-school nobles value most is their bloodline. It is difficult for people to like common people who have no roots.
Ji Xun didn't care at all.
However, he clearly felt that the moment he and General Lagon looked at each other, there was an invisible pressure directed at him.
Of course he knew what this aggressive pressure meant, and there was no surprise.
The corner of Ji Xun's mouth raised slightly, but still calmly, he took the initiative to introduce: "I, Ji Xun, it is an honor to meet the general."
