Cataclysm King

"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 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."

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 over time.”

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.

Therefore, he must have thought of this tried and tested method of the aristocracy seeking power.

"yes."

Catalina 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. 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, but without figuring out what he was thinking, she 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!"

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 this, she blinked, her eyes full of teasing and a hint of serious admiration, and she sneered: "As long as you show up, any 'genius' will be eclipsed in front of you. Then no one will do it again." Mention this matter."

Ji Xun smiled noncommittally and responded: "Yeah."

It's not a troublesome question, so he certainly won't refuse.

It happened that Ivan was also promised a delicious meal.

"Thanks."

Catalina also nodded with satisfaction.

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

One person is reading and the other is sitting nearby.

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.

We can be unguarded, we can share all the secrets with each other, and we can have the trust to live and die 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 takes a back seat.

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 of them chatted about their recent experiences, and before they knew it, time flew by and it was evening soon.

"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 it also takes a lot of time for a lady from a noble family to dress up.

Catalina responded: "Okay!"

After receiving the permission, 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.

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

After saying that, she added: "Also, take out the suit under the dress 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 leading brown-haired maid responded: "Okay, miss."

After explaining, Catalina looked back at Ji Xun and said with a sly smile: "It was customized for you. It's just the size I remembered from the last time we met."

As she spoke, 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."

"Yeah. As long as you can wear it."

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, the dazzling array of jewelry made the whole room sparkle; various luxurious shoes were like an expo, with several cabinets; cosmetics were more like It's an alchemist's workbench, with colorful bottles and jars everywhere.

Seeing 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?"

Catalina 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 into your dress anyway, so 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 kind of scene is 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 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 was exposed to the air, and the crystal lamp shone on the skin, glowing like white jade.

The maids were still a little dazed, but Catalina had already reached behind and unbuttoned the back of the lace bra. Without a trace of hesitation, she squeezed and loosened, and then her entire upper body broke into someone's body without any cover. in sight.

Then came the military uniform trousers, and then the more intimate and intimate clothes that were taken off one by one.

Catalina didn't show any awkwardness in her movements, she took off her clothes very naturally.

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 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 dripping 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.

There was only a 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 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, 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 as 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 magical 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 express his position 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. 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 all the way to meet the high-ranking Allied forces.

Hearing that Ji Xun was the matchmaker between the Alliance Army and the Southern Continent Dragon Rebel Army, most of the people looked at him with friendly eyes.

They are all senior leaders of the Allied Forces, so of course they know some inside information.

It's just that the "mysterious matchmaker" mentioned before turned out to be this famous wanted criminal.

However, the Federation has collapsed, the five major congressman families have passed away, and the status of wanted criminals is no longer important.

More importantly, Ji Xun's calm temperament made everyone in the banquet hall secretly marvel.

After all, General Ragone 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 still an internal matter between them.

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 members of the Allied Forces would look down on them and give them a thumbs up.

However, he didn't expect that Ji Xun would just walk into the banquet hall step by step, with a calm expression on his face from beginning to end.

It was not sharp, but it made everyone feel a kind of avalanche and a calm indifference.

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 walked in, he spotted the most eye-catching place in the distance. A beautiful woman who still had charm was chatting with a general with gray hair on his 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 Lion Heart family.

Catalina held Ji Xun's hand and walked up to several people and took the initiative to say hello: "Mother, General Lagon."

With that said, 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.

Ji Xun smiled calmly, as if meeting his parents and saying hello one by one.

Etiquette is still indispensable.

Catalina's mother looked Ji Xun up and down. Although her expression was not much strange, her eyes were obviously unhappy.

No matter who Ji Xun is, he can never be as close as his own family.

The most important thing for the old-school nobles 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 were no surprises.

The corner of Ji Xun's mouth raised slightly, but he remained calm and took the initiative to introduce: "I, Ji Xun, it is an honor to meet the general."
