Su Lun, Mr. Mirror and Pestoya just chatted without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the hot spring pool is also relaxed and pleasant. They are like a family, chatting about business and trivial matters in life, and occasionally joking, laughing and having fun.
In fact, after getting along for a long time, Su Lun also knew that her senior sister looked cold and distant, but she was actually very easy to get along with. She was kind, courageous, intelligent, considerate, and almost all the words that could be thought of to describe people with good qualities could be used.
On her.
It's just that Mr. Jing likes to be quiet, and the blood of the vampire family has a cold temperament. In addition, she is indeed the biological daughter of Sir Isaac a thousand years ago. She is too senior and no one can talk to her.
Topics other than business matters.
Except for the junior brother Su Lun.
This seemed particularly close.
Although Mr. Jing himself didn't like to talk, when Su Lun spoke, she listened with great interest, and occasionally a gentle smile like the spring breeze would appear in his beautiful eyes.
Just like this, without realizing it, the wound on his lower ribs was treated, and Mr. Jing lay down by the pool again, revealing a large area of his beautiful back as smooth as jade.
The scars left by the holy light looked like burns, spreading from the lower ribs to the lower back, and the red patch was particularly conspicuous on the snow-white skin.
Fortunately it was resolved in time, otherwise the erosion would have continued to spread.
That kind of pain is simply not something ordinary people can bear.
Su Lun concentrated on treating the wound on Mr. Jing's lower back, pulling the cold air out from between the bones and flesh little by little. He then used dark alchemy techniques to neutralize and digest the sacred law.
This is a boring and long process.
Not long after.
Su Lun let out a long breath, and the healing green light in his hand dimmed.
He now has almost absolutely rigorous thinking ability, and the process of resolving the injury went as smoothly as expected.
But it's not finished yet.
With Su Lun's current eighth-level strength, it took a lot of effort to deal with injuries that were corroded by the sacred law that exceeded the ninth level. He could only remove about one-tenth of the damage at a time.
It is estimated that it will take more than a week to completely deal with it.
"alright!"
At this time, Su Lun breathed out a sigh of relief, said something while patting her hands habitually.
The sound of "pop" was particularly clear in this wilderness.
However, as soon as this palm fell, he was stunned when he reacted instantly: His palm happened to hit that round and straight part?
Because I usually treat Qianjiu's injuries, I habitually do small tricks to take advantage of him. This is purely an unintentional act.
However, this time it was my senior sister.
Although he was separated by a soaked gauze, this action was somewhat frivolous.
Mr. Jing received this slap on the butt, and was obviously slightly surprised.
But fortunately, her back was turned, and the strange color disappeared in a flash. She stood up as usual and said calmly: "Let's go."
Originally this little misunderstanding was harmless, but there happened to be a third person here.
Pestoya blinked with big eyes, extremely curious.
How could she pass up this opportunity to tease Su Lun? She put her hands on her hips and let out a weird smile like a witch, shouting: "Sister, I saw Su Lun deliberately touched your butt just now."
With that said, the ghost lady imitated the exaggerated tone of those theater performances and said: "Oh~ I just saw a lady's buttocks being violated by a man's hands. Will the beautiful lady beat up that rash man?
"
As soon as these words came out, things that neither Su Lun nor Su Lun cared about at first suddenly became subtle.
Mr. Jing was also a little helpless towards his quirky sister.
Neither does responding, nor does not responding.
It was an unintentional act, so there's nothing you should mind about it.
Su Lun felt that he was in the wrong, but Mr. Jing didn't say anything, and he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he glanced at Pestoya angrily, pinched her face, and kept talking.
Pestoya was indeed fooled by this pinch, and she climbed on his neck with a grin on her face, "Oh, damn Su Lun, you pinch my face again, I will strangle you to death!"
Old Rington was once the secret mine of Grand Duke Raphael. Later, after the ambitious Grand Duke was restored to the throne and died suddenly, the place was taken over by the Reims family. Later, Catherine became the emperor of the empire, and this place became the
became part of the empire.
Once upon a time, the residents of Old Town were populated by slaves brought by the Raphael family. Now that the United Empire has abolished slavery and lordship, it has become a special administrative region of the United Empire.
Jiulingdun was originally a mining pit, with many mineral deposits and ancient ruins buried there. Because it was a plane passage that existed countless years ago, there are also a large number of specialties and ancient ruins from the abyss plane.
The most attractive thing is the legendary city "Dawn Ruins" left by the former alchemy demigod Sir Isaac.
Therefore, after Jiulindun was opened to the outside world, it also attracted countless adventurers to take risks.
However, due to the plane war, the United Empire has controlled almost all seafaring ships. There was a cruise ship from Luying to Jiulingdun in a few days but suddenly stopped, and only a small number of warships were able to travel. Jiulingdun almost changed again
It has become an isolated city like it used to be.
Fortunately, Su Lun's current space ability can go anywhere, and he didn't plan to waste time looking for any sea ships. He teleported all the way and arrived at the Black Barrier Reef not long after.
In the past, in order to keep it secret, Archduke Raphael only had an inconspicuous fortress on this island camouflaged on the sea on the black tower. But now it has changed a lot.
On the sea, Su Lun and Mr. Jing looked at the war fortress in the distance that looked like a hedgehog with many artillery pieces, and their expressions were slightly strange.
Once they broke out of the Black Tower and fought a battle with the pirates from the Third Fleet of the North Sea Fleet here. At that time, Su Lun was just a small second-level professional, and fighting a group of pirates was full of dangers. But he didn't expect it.
When he came back, he was already at level eight.
When I revisit my old place, some memories emerge unconsciously.
At that time, Su Lun still remembered that he mustered up the courage to go back to "rescue" Mr. Jing. Later, the two encountered a storm at sea and drifted for many days before they met Jike and his father who were going to Blizzard City to sell furs.
Apparently Mr. Jing also remembered it. There seemed to be light and shadow passing through her eyes, and she sighed slightly: "I haven't been back for several years, and this place has changed a lot."
Su Lun raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes. I don't know what's going on with Jiulingdun now."
He didn't intend to alarm anyone. He pinched the Warlock Seal and a space crack appeared in front of him.
The two of them stepped inside.
Looking again, there is already a bustling scene with tall buildings all around.
This is the inner city of Old Rington.
The tall black tower stands in the center of the city, and the alchemical light source illuminates the underground city. The high wall separates the inner city from the outer city. The cake layout of No. 1 to 8 city areas and the futuristic blue glass super
There are tall buildings and chimneys hundreds of meters high that emit billowing white smoke.
Everything is very familiar.
Although the North Sea Fleet's robbery robbed Old Lingtown of a lot of wealth, it did not damage its foundation. This underground city has long since restored its former prosperity.
Pedestrians were passing by on the street, and the hustle and bustle of hawking was very lively.
Due to its isolated development, the inner city of Old Rington has an alternative prosperity that is not inferior to any other city.
Most of the old acquaintances rushed out together, and there was nothing to miss.
Su Lun and Mr. Jing did not stay in the inner city for long. They teleported again and appeared outside the inner city wall.
Unlike before, the outer city has changed a lot.
The dilapidated scene of the past no longer exists, and a large number of high-rise buildings have been built.
After the abolition of slavery and lordship, everyone in Old Rington became citizens of the empire. Without the exploitation of high taxes, they were no longer the endless exploitation of slaves they once were. The finances people gained from adventure were enough for them to live a prosperous life.
.
Old Rington is the birthplace of neuromechanical technology, and various mechanical transformation industries here are also very developed.
Adventurers with modified mechanical prosthetics can be seen everywhere on the streets. Judging by their accents, many of them are even outsiders from Marfa.
Also because of the transfer of top-notch technology from Marfa, the mechanical prosthetic limbs in Old Lington now have a new look, and the research and development of various mechanical technologies have made a qualitative leap. Various mechanical modification shops can also be seen everywhere on the street.
Su Lun is going to Ginkgo to pick up No. 88. That small building is in Nancheng.
Seeing how much changes had taken place in Old Lingdun, they were no longer in a hurry, and just happened to revisit their old place and watch it while walking.
The two of them walked on the street. Everywhere they could see various modified motorcycles whizzing on the street, and various shops on both sides of the street were also bustling with activity.
The scene in the outer city is completely different from the war-torn slums back then, and it now looks like a normal city.
However, as they walked, they also heard some other news.
"I originally thought that we poor people could live a good life, but I didn't expect that the newly appointed governor would return to the previous feudal system within a few months of his arrival."
"Yes. The tax is so high, and the treasures obtained from hunting have to be sold to the city lord's palace first. As a result, there will probably be fewer and fewer outside adventurers and merchants."
"What other outsiders will come? Haven't you seen that cruise ships are now under control? And the alchemy academy that the empire said before that civilian children can also go to has been abolished now? Looking at the situation, the governor still wanted to
In order to monopolize alchemical knowledge as before, they will lock us up and enslave us for generations."
"Didn't it mean that the empire has no nobles and has abolished slavery? Aren't we all pardoned from slavery? The law says that we are free and can go anywhere."
"Haha, do you believe what those noble gentlemen say? They say they are preparing supplies for the war, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that those guys are just making money for themselves, just like the former Archduke Raphael."
"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't you know the identity of the trusted governor? If you dare to say this in private, you may get into trouble."
"What identity?"
"Don't you know that the governor is the youngest son of Master Merlin? Master Merlin is the strongest professional in the empire. I heard that because of his outstanding military exploits, His Majesty the Emperor gave Jiulingdun as a fiefdom to his family."
"."
Su Lun and Mr. Jing walked on the street and did not deliberately inquire about it, but they also got a general idea of the current situation in Old Lingdun from the words of some adventurers.
It seems that Master Merlin relied on his position as the first minister in the palace to ask the parliament for the position of Governor of Old Rington.
Then as soon as the new lord named Alvin Gregory came, the original lord centralized system was restored.
But after all, a large part of the current Old Lingdun adventurers are outsiders. They have seen the free system outside. They can't stand this kind of oppression, so they naturally complain.
But this resentment will slowly disappear after being isolated from the world.
Su Lun was slightly surprised when he heard this: "The United Empire now has a new ninth level?"
Mr. Jing nodded: "Yes. I have been in Mafa during this period, and I have only heard that there is a new ninth-level person, but I have never seen him. Judging from the information sent by the Jing organization in Lingdun, this
Merlin was once the royal guard of Prince Carnap. He was an old eighth-level warrior with good strength. He was promoted to ninth level more than half a year ago and is now the number one minister in the palace."
After saying that, she added: "A professional who can advance to the ninth level will not be bad in strength and talent. But he seems to be an 'old school' who supports aristocracy. The information from Lingdun said that this Merlin...
Gregory didn't get along very well with the New Deal, and he seemed to be taking power and respecting himself. But due to his strength, no one could say anything. Now it seems that it is indeed the case."
"."
Su Lun also showed a half-smiling expression as he listened.
Having another ninth level is a good thing, but an inconsistent ninth level is a big problem.
This guy obviously has selfish motives for arranging for his son to come to Old Lingtown to be the governor.
This place is far away from the mainland of Luying, so even if there is a war, it will be difficult to be affected.
That Master Merlin probably wanted to find a way out for his descendants.
But he knew it, and there was nothing he could do.
Su Lun could already imagine that someone as smart as Catherine would probably have a headache.
For a ninth-level person, it's not that there is nothing you can do, but that you can't fight among yourself at this juncture.
The Empire's No. 1 Enshrinement represents the Empire's highest combat power. No matter what happens to Master Merlin, the negative impact will be infinite.
At this time, Mr. Jing said again: "Moreover, there is intelligence that some people who support Merlin Gregory's old sect have close ties with people from the Tianmu sect. However, there is no definite evidence, and it is difficult to draw a conclusion now."
"oh?"
When Su Lun heard this, a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
Using your status to benefit yourself is selfish at best.
It’s also human nature.
But if you are involved with those in the Tianmu Sect, you are surrendering to the enemy.
Su Lun turned his eyes and guessed: "Sister, could it be that these guys were behind the attack on you and the ambush of the United Fleet?"
Mr. Jing did not rush to draw a conclusion and said calmly: "It's hard to say."
But after walking a few steps, she said again: "It just so happens that the matter here has been settled, and I am going to Linton. We will know what the situation will be then."
"Um."
Su Lun heard the deep meaning behind the calm tone.
If the rear area is not handled well, such as when Mr. Jing was ambushed before, or if the United Fleet was ambushed, something like this happens several times again. There will be no need to fight a plane war, and we will collapse internally first.
However, the two chatted for a few words and then stopped talking.
A ninth-level person is indeed a ceiling-level expert in the eyes of others.
But in the eyes of the two of them now, it is not a problem that cannot be solved.
The current Dawn Regiment is much stronger than a newly promoted ninth level.
If Master Merlin really had different intentions, even if he was at the ninth level, they would not leave such a hidden danger.
Su Lun and the two teleported together, and soon they arrived at the location of Ginkgo Street in their memory.
With alchemy and various mechanical prostheses in Old Town, the city's construction speed is naturally unstoppable.
When Su Lun came to this street where he once lived, he felt completely unrecognizable. There were dense high-rise buildings everywhere, and the streets were much more lively than before.
Fortunately, the street name has not changed. The two walked along the street. Su Lun saw at a glance that the small western-style building at No. 88 was still there.
This is a "haunted house" after all.
The reason Su Lun didn't come in a hurry was because he knew that no one could handle this cursed space.
In addition to being tricky like him, he knew the method of chanting the name of the resentful master of the cursed space. To others, this is definitely a "T-level" space.
After all, he had already taken out the "Living Corpse Research Journal" from the safe on the second floor, and no one would know the name of the Resentment Master no matter how much he searched for it later.
If he wanted to go to the morgue on the third underground floor, Su Lun estimated that even the seventh- and eighth-level professionals might not be able to survive.
This dilapidated small western-style building looks out of place among a bunch of new buildings.
Su Lun and the others walked to the small foreign-style building and stayed for a moment. At this time, a little boy wearing a peaked cap with a cigarette case hanging around his neck immediately came up to him and asked enthusiastically: "Sir, do you want to buy cigarettes?"
As he said that, he saw Mr. Jing and couldn't help but admired: "Oh, you are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen."
Mr. Jing smiled slightly when he heard this.
Even though the wide-brimmed hat hid her beautiful face, her otherworldly temperament still made the children's eyes shine.
Su Lun didn't smoke, but after hearing this compliment, he glanced at the price tag, took out a 100-riso note, and bought a pack of cigarettes.
The kid in the peaked hat happily accepted the money, but seeing that the two were interested in the house, he reminded: "Are you two adventurers from outside? Forgive me for talking, this is a haunted house. If you want to rent a house,
If so, I suggest that Norton Street in front is more suitable. There is also the best soup restaurant in Old Lingtown. You must try it when you come to Old Lingtown."
Su Lun smiled: "Yeah, we just took a look."
The boy didn't say much and left with a polite smile: "I wish you all the best."
Su Lun failed to catch the familiar cross badge on the little boy's chest. Looking at his leaving figure, Su Lun smiled brightly: "So the 'Cross Society' is still there."
Norton Street is the core territory of the Cross Society, and Qian Tiao was once the eldest sister of that street. This kid was introducing business to his own gang's territory.
Mr. Jing also had a slight smile on his face as he listened, "Yes."
