Chapter 398 You Can Change 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 World is rich in resources. Fortunately, the exploration team also found some seventh-level materials in the ruins. Oh, the last The important thing is that you introduced Mr. Aragon, which put us in contact with the Dragon Rebel Army, and we also obtained a lot of ancient Warcraft bloodline materials and precious extraordinary knowledge from there."

"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 getting the materials, everyone tried to advance, and finally succeeded in advancing a few levels. General Lagon is one of them."

"It happened that the material contained [Wind Demon's Ancestral Blood] that was very compatible with him, which allowed General Lagun to successfully integrate 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 way to advance in "divine power", but if you use the method of transforming blood to obtain the gene chain of alien creatures to stabilize the power of the devil, this method is already very mature in the Southern Continent.

This is not difficult for the Donghuang sixth-level card master who has laid a solid foundation at the sixth level.

Hearing this, he also knew what Catalina was going to say, and smiled: "So, the surge in strength has given some people ideas?"

"yes."

Catalina'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 are nobles from the original Federation, and some are ancient. It’s hard to change your mind instantly.”

As he spoke, the sharp light in the young leader of the Lionheart Family's crystal eyes flashed away.

These words were absolutely impossible for her, a commander-in-chief, to say to outsiders.

Only with Ji Xun, an old friend, can we confide in him.

Catalina 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 gain a foothold in the Eastern Wasteland. Among them is me. There are several families on 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 thought about the power represented by these family names.

In the past, the marriages between the upper-class families in the Federation were so complicated that if you 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.

Catalina continued: "When the Alliance Army first came here, they faced a very harsh living environment. We, the Lionhearts, were on the front foot, and those people didn't dare to say anything, and they were happy to see us take the biggest risk in the front. But Later, the exploration in the ruins gradually yielded results, and countless precious resources were discovered, such as this mechanical battle fortress."

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows and said: "Later, because of you, we got in touch with the Dragon Rebel Army, so that we could quickly reach the super card master field. And now, the focus of the Southern Continent is in the east. "Huang, the Oran royal family is busy developing the Silver Moon Sect, and our alliance army is in a pretty good situation. Not long after, some people have some ideas."

Ji Xun guessed what she wanted to say and smiled: "So, that General Lagon wants to get married?"

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."

Catalina was not surprised that he could guess.

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. The elders in the family have mentioned it before 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 Katarina's tone sounded relaxed.

Ji Xun didn't realize that she had a plan.

Even if she didn't come, she could solve it by herself.

Catalina 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 once this hole is opened, the future will be It will set a very negative example for others. But I am the commander-in-chief of the alliance, and I cannot do things that are not conducive to unity. This is probably why General Lagon came this time. It’s a matter of fact. After all, I am an elder. If I really want to speak out in person, I will be very embarrassed.”

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, bent over, and looked at Ji Xun beside her with a smile.

The two of them didn't 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, but he had already deduced the cause and effect.

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 each other's eyes.

Hearing this, Catalina raised her eyes slightly: "Of course!"

The pretty face revealed a rare provocation and arrogance, and she said in a tough tone: "You are my best friend. You have to do me this favor."

As she said that, she blinked, her eyes were full of teasing, and there was a trace of serious admiration, and she sneered: "As long as you show up, any "genius" will be eclipsed in front of you. No one will mention this matter again at that time."

Ji Xun smiled without comment and agreed: "Yeah."

It was not a troublesome question, so of course he would not refuse.

It just happened to promise Ivan a good meal.

"Thank you."

Katerina also nodded with satisfaction.

The atmosphere in the room returned to the previous relaxed atmosphere.

One person reads a book, and the other sits aside.

Friends who haven't seen each other for a long time feel very harmonious even if they don't talk.

The relationship between the two is more like a close alliance.

You can be unguarded, share all your secrets, and have the trust of life and death

They have always been in this very pleasant relationship, step by step to the present.

Ji Xun knew very well that in Catalina's heart, the most important thing must be her lofty ambition.

Everything else came second.

And Catalina also knew that Ji Xun was different from her friend.

It was because of this mutual understanding and recognition that the two felt that they got along very well.

The two chatted about their experiences in recent times, and before they knew it, time had passed and it was soon evening.

"Knock, knock, knock"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

The maid's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, General Ragon has arrived. Are you ready for the banquet now?"

The dinner was still two hours away, but it would take a lot of time for the young lady of the noble family to dress up.

Catalina replied: "Okay!"

After getting the consent, 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, they could not hide their surprise in their eyes.

After all, their young lady had never invited a man to her room before.

Catalina ordered: "Rita, help me prepare the white dress."

She then said: "Also, take out the suit under the dress and help Mr. Ji Xun change into it."

Ji Xun listened and realized that the young lady of the Lionheart family seemed to be sure that he would help, and even prepared a dress for him.

The brown-haired maid in the lead replied: "Okay, Miss."

After explaining, Catalina turned back to look at Ji Xun and smiled slyly: "It's custom-made for you. It's just the size I remembered when we met last time."

As she said that, she looked at something in her eyes and muttered: "It seems that you have become stronger recently. I don't know if it will fit you."

"Well. It's okay as long as it can be worn."

Ji Xun looked indifferent.

It didn't take long for the four maids to prepare everything.

The study and the dressing room were separated by a door, and they could just see each other.

It must be said that the cards of the young ladies of the noble families attending the banquet really opened Ji Xun's eyes.

The maids prepared a dressing table. There were dozens of jewelry boxes alone. When they were opened, the dazzling array of jewelry made the whole room sparkle. Various luxurious shoes were like an exhibition, with several cabinets. Cosmetics were more like an alchemist's workbench, with colorful bottles and jars everywhere.

Seeing that Catalina and Ji Xun were still in the study, the maid Rita asked tentatively: "Miss, do you want to change clothes and put on makeup now?"

Catalina immediately stood up and replied: "Yes."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several maids were obviously wrong.

Their eyes were erratic, and their peripheral vision glanced behind the desk from time to time.

There was another man in this room.

Ji Xun certainly noticed it, and pretended to get up and go out: "I'll go out for a walk."

"Don't bother. Anyway, you have to change your dress, so just change here together."

Catalina didn't care at all. She turned her head and glanced at him. The teasing in her eyes seemed to say: It's not like you haven't seen me change clothes before, so now you know to be taboo?

"."

Ji Xun understood this expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

There should be spies from her mother's side among these maids.

This was her plan from the beginning when she took her to visit the Mechanical City.

Since the other party said so, Ji Xun didn't feel uncomfortable.

This kind of scene was not the first time.

Neither of them minded.

Catalina was even more generous. After she finished speaking, she walked directly to the dressing room.

As she walked, she unbuttoned her military uniform, and the maid helped her take off her coat and hung it on the clothes beside her.

Then, as the maids looked at each other in bewilderment, Catalina unbuttoned her shirt and took it off as if no one was around.

A large area of ​​snow-white skin was exposed to the air, and the crystal lamp shone on her skin, like white jade with a hidden luster.

The maids were still a little stunned, and Catalina had already reached her back to unbutton the back of the lace bra. Without a trace of hesitation, she pinched and loosened it, and then her entire upper body broke into someone's field of vision without any cover.

Next, she took off her military uniform pants, and then her more intimate clothes.

Catalina took off her clothes naturally without any hesitation.

Although she was facing away from the study, she could still see her graceful back as long as she looked up.

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 as to 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 trickling water suddenly stopped, Caterina 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.

Only the rustling sound of dressing was heard.

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 he said that, he tilted his body and stuck out his head as if he couldn't wait, 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.

Under the light, the stars are dotted, as gorgeous as dreamy clouds woven from crystal filaments.

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.

Catalina happened to catch the admiring gaze in the mirror and asked proactively: "Does it look good?"

Ji Xun smiled like a gentleman: "Very beautiful."

"Thanks."

Catalina's eyes were graceful, and her full smile bloomed on her cheeks like delicate roses.

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 ones around her neck, she also has two purple gemstone necklaces and colored crystal necklaces in her hands. The maid on the side also 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 was not a Moji person. He took a look and said directly: "The one with the moiré crystal."

After hearing this, Catalina finally stopped worrying and raised her eyebrows: "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 room.

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 has to be said that although the lives of high-ranking nobles are mostly corrupt, there is nothing to say about their aesthetics.

Catalina 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.

At the top of Mechanical City, not many people saw it.

But this was enough to spread the news throughout the entire Alliance Army hierarchy.

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 calmly.

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 was 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 most of the people 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 warrant is still at the top of the Eastern Wilderness Bounty Hunters Guild's list.

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 less good-looking.

Catalina led Ji Xun all the way in, and 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. That mysterious ally.”

Although the identity of the two people was not stated clearly, their intimate 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 to meet the senior leaders of the Allied Forces.

Hearing that Ji Xun was the matchmaker between the Allied Forces and the Dragon Rebel Army of the Southern Continent, most people's eyes became friendly.

They were all senior leaders of the Allied Forces, and of course they knew some inside information.

It was just that the "mysterious matchmaker" mentioned before was unexpectedly the famous wanted criminal.

However, the Federation has collapsed, and the five major senator families are all in the past, and the identity of the wanted criminal is not important.

More importantly, the calm temperament shown by Ji Xun made everyone in the banquet hall secretly amazed.

After all, General Ragon is an old man in the army, and his nephew Mick is also one of them.

Originally, although many people were dissatisfied with the marriage between Catalina and Mick, it was their internal affairs after all.

Now there is an "outsider" to interfere, which makes the senior leaders of the Allied Forces instinctively unanimous.

I thought that no matter who the visitor was, the senior leaders of the Allied Forces would give him a little face and give him a knock.

Unexpectedly, Ji Xun walked into the banquet hall step by step, with a calm face from beginning to end.

He did not show his edge, but made everyone feel a kind of indifference without changing color in front of him.

They did not know where Ji Xun's confidence came from, but just this temperament was enough to show his extraordinaryness.

However, in the eyes of his rivals, Ji Xun's attitude was completely relying on Catalina's protection.

When Ji Xun entered the door, he found the most eye-catching place in the distance, a beautiful woman with a lingering charm was chatting with a general with gray hair and a resolute face.

He knew two people.

One was Catalina's mother, and the other was General Lagong.

As for the young star next to him, holding a glass of wine and smiling, it was naturally the young Mick.

Then there were several elders of the Lionheart family.

Catalina took Ji Xun's hand and walked in front of several people, and took the initiative to greet them: "Mother, General Lagon."

She introduced Ji Xun: "This is Ji Xun, my good friend, and the ally I said had provided a lot of help to our allies."

After the introduction, everyone's eyes fell on Ji Xun's face.

Ji Xun smiled indifferently, as if meeting a parent, and greeted them one by one.

Etiquette is still indispensable.

Catarina's mother looked Ji Xun up and down. Although her expression was not much different, she was obviously not happy.

No matter who Ji Xun is, he is not as close as her own family.

The old-school nobles value bloodline the most, and it is difficult for people to have a good impression of civilians without roots.

Ji Xun didn't care at all.

But he clearly felt that the moment he and General Lagon looked at each other, an invisible pressure against him came over him.

Of course, he knew what this aggressive pressure meant, and he was not surprised.

Ji Xun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, still calm, and took the initiative to introduce: "I am Ji Xun, it is an honor to meet the general."
