Wuhun City Station.

The exclusive band of the Wuhun Hall and the knights who temporarily served as honor guards have been waiting here for a long time.

It is not only to celebrate the safe return of the summer spirit, but also to welcome important guests from afar.

Dressed in gold armor, standing heroically in front of others, it is none other than Qian Renxue, who has become a Contra.

Previously, after learning the news of Xia Ling's return, she and Zhu Zhuqing each went to one end of the mainland, so they couldn't meet their younger brother in the first place.

Now looking at her younger brother who is walking hand in hand with Zhu Zhuqing, her eyes are not only happy, but also more relieved.

In seven years, these two people can be regarded as completely making up for the last step.

Fortunately, I didn't mess with Zhuqing's good deeds.

This is not a good place to greet each other, Xia Ling simply said hello with a voice.

After a period of more official exchange of courtesies, the soul master's team rode into the city in a carriage.

Compared with the rather modern Ming Capital, the quaint and atmospheric Wuhun City brought them an alternative shock.

With the southward shift of the economic center, Wuhun City underwent a second expansion after the disappearance of Xia Ling.

The scope of the expanded city is no less than that of the Ming capital, brilliant and vast.

The 30-meter-high walls look majestic from the outside, and the black metal glow of the walls unexpectedly gives people an extremely stable sense of security.

Seeing this newly built dark giant wall, not only the soul masters, but even Xia Ling himself was extremely emotional.

The walls are thirty meters high, but the thickness of the base is only twenty meters.

This is entirely due to the development of material engineering in Douluo Continent, which has to be said to be a miracle in the history of architecture.

In the previous life, even the extremely magnificent ancient city wall of Chang'an was only twelve meters high.

Moreover, in order to keep the top from collapsing, the thickness of the wall below alone is as high as 18 meters, and the foundation is even worse.

The newly built wall was nearly half as short as the original wall.

Not only did the city walls become shorter, but the original hexagonal shape became a normal boxy.

But that doesn't mean the city's defenses have decreased.

For the cities on the Douluo Continent, all they had to defend against was the attacks of ordinary armies and low-level soul masters.

If it weren't for the general height of the main city on the mainland and the so-called deterrent effect, the designer in charge of designing the new city wall would have only wanted to build a twenty-meter-high one.

Why build that high?

There are twenty or thirty Title Douluo to that station, who would dare to attack Wuhun City from above?

Don't want to die?

Just like the eighty-meter-high hexagonal wall of the original Wuhun City, it can be said that it is nothing but handsome.

The stood there, and the lighting under the base of the city wall was completely shattered, and it could be said that it was forever in shadow.

It's stupid to have a candle lit in the house in the morning and in the afternoon.

I really don't know which clever designer of this hexagonal design was originally designed by Wuhun City.

Is it just to be able to put six martial spirits in relief on the wall?

Not only does this fucking thing have to divide two more teams to defend when defending, but it also has two more easily broken lines, diluting the power used for defense.

Pure pure egg design.

If it weren't for Qiandaoliu who stopped him before, saying that it would affect my lord's appearance or something, Xia Ling would have wanted to dismantle this circle of bad things a long time ago.

When you go back, be sure to increase the salary of the designer of the new city wall!

The wagon convoy traveled along the newly paved main road.

In the expanded outer city, the layout of the street houses is orderly, showing a regular checkerboard shape.

On both sides of the clean and smooth cement road, the business activities are extremely prosperous.

The cries of selling, laughter, the frolicking of children.

It abounds, and the list goes on and on.

Although there are many taller and more houses in Mingdu, the interior of the city is very crowded and cramped due to the stacking of various whimsical ideas.

Coupled with the dirt and mud that the dirt road itself will produce, it looks far less cheerful and bright than Wuhun City.

"What are those towers?"

On a carriage, Jin Zheng pointed out the window and asked curiously.

In the carriage, the deacon in charge of the reception explained, "Do you mean those stout tubular towers? We call it a water tower, or a water tower. ”

"We connected pipes under the water tower and used the pressure above the tower to carry water around the city. People can easily use water by turning on a switch called a faucet at home. ”

"Open the valve and get water? That sounds like a lot of good. ”

Jin Zheng sighed.

Although the dormitory of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is also equipped with shower facilities, the two are completely different concepts.

The water tank in each dormitory needs to be manually added to the water source and then the heater is activated to heat it up, so that you can enjoy the pleasure of hot water showering.

At the end of the day, it's actually manual.

The shower head is fixed directly under the tank, and there is only that angle.

Only bathing, washing hands, etc., are slightly more convenient.

It is fundamentally different from this kind of tap water system, which can dispense and supply water with a single turn of the faucet.

After passing through the outer city, you will arrive at the location of the original Wuhun City.

The original old city walls have been completely demolished, and the inside of the city is clear at a glance.

Summer Spirit once again has a good opinion of the designer of the new city wall +1,+1,+,+10086......

He'd been looking at it for a long time!

Thirty meters thick, eighty meters high!

It occupies space and is unstable!

This dude did what he always wanted to do but couldn't!

Wages must be raised!

Triple it!

The convoy went all the way to the foot of the hill where the Papal Palace is located.

Xia Ling noticed that there was a newly built building under the Pope Hill, which was no less tall than the Martial Spirit Arena.

He gently squeezed Zhu Zhuqing's little hand and asked, "This is a newly built one?" What is it for? ”

"The official hotel, which was newly completed last year, uses many new things created by the research institute and the Imperial Architecture Team, which is the crystallization of our current highest construction technology, and is used to entertain foreign guests."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhuqing paused and continued to explain: "Originally, it was a place made by the members of your cooking troupe. ”

"You also know their cooking skills, and the number of gourmets and wealthy people who came to ask them to help them grew and their reputation grew, so my mother simply ordered this place to be transformed into a semi-official place, and at the same time to generate income for the outside world."

Qian Lingxue also added: "Today, all your guys are dispatched, and even Lao Liu, who has been cooking at our house, has called over to help." I heard that you are coming back today, our mother has already asked someone to prepare a grand banquet here in advance to welcome you to the wind and dust, and at the same time, by the way, welcome those soul masters, reflecting the importance we ......"

Summer Spirit: "......"

Okay, Wuhun Hotel.

The first official foreign-related hotel in Wuhun City belongs to Yes.

It is estimated that Old Man Jin, Jin Zheng and Octopus Xiaoba will like it very much.

Bibi Dong has really learned more and more things over the years.

Maybe in the future, the branch hall of the Wuhun Hall will not be called the branch hall, and sooner or later it will be renamed the Wuhun Hall office in a certain city.

"By the way, do you remember what day it is?"

Before getting out of the car, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked.

"Days? What day? It's not your birthday, is it? The day we confirmed our relationship was the day before yesterday, and I can't forget it. ”

Xia Ling scratched her head suspiciously, confused.

There are no important festivals in this Douluo Continent!

This place doesn't even last a year!

"This is not the birthday of the old man, my mother, and Sister Xue, what day can it be?"

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and suppressed some irritable emotions.

He gave him a blank look, turned around and got out of the car.

Xia Ling turned over and caught up and asked again and again.

"No, what day is it?"

"Stupid you got ......"

"Damn, why am I stupid?"

......

Inside the Wuhun Hotel, the restaurant on the first floor.

The members of the Holy Son Chef Regiment had already prepared exquisite dishes for the soul masters of the Sun Moon Continent to eat.

When they actually entered here, they were instantly attracted by the architectural decoration style that was completely different from that of the Sun and Moon Empire.

From top to bottom, the Sun and Moon Empire is a pure and pure science and engineering aesthetic.

Civilian buildings are well-behaved, and they are basically in the style of matchboxes.

The official building is orderly, either square or standard hemispherical.

The interior decoration is basically none, except that the metallic color is metallic, and at most there is a matte silver.

Meticulous wild industrial style, hardcore batch.

It's different here in the Martial Spirit Palace.

Since the members of the architectural team were all brought out by Xia Ling, a former artist, the design style was somewhat off-track.

The exterior and decoration of the first floor of the Wuhun Hotel adhere to the same baroque style as the Pope's Palace and Douluo Palace.

The architectural image is exaggerated, luxurious, colorful, extremely tense and expressive.

At first glance, it looks very bold.

The strong momentum and huge ups and downs are perfectly integrated with angel sculptures, golden dragon murals, etc.

Combined with the changing light and exaggerated curves, it creates a beautiful and strange scene.

It's a great thing to enjoy food in such a beautiful setting!

Except for a few top soul masters who were invited to the second floor for special entertainment, most of the rest were already deeply immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.

Stay in the small ballroom on the second floor.

The decoration style here has changed abruptly, and there is a mixture of East and West.

Based on its own Western style, it incorporates the oriental style that the royal family is better at.

Not only the decoration, but also the tables, chairs and cutlery.

Round mahogany table, upholstered seats, silver cutlery, white jade porcelain cutlery, crystal goblets, distilled liquor and wine, and chopsticks inlaid with gold and ivory......

Chinese and Western cuisine are a perfect combination of yes.

Xia Ling, who understands the core, thinks it looks a little weird, but everyone else thinks it's not bad, and it has a different taste.

Entering the banquet hall, many high-level officials of the Martial Spirit Hall had been waiting here for a long time.

Bibi Dong, Qiandaoliu, and the two giants of the Wuhun Hall were present in person.

Old Jack is here too.

This welcome banquet is not only to wash away the dust of the summer spirit, but also to discuss the matter of the soul masters joining.

A team of more than 200 soul masters, this is not a small number.

It is definitely worthy of the Martial Spirit Hall to show sincerity and treat it solemnly.

After the greetings between the mother and son (grandchildren) and the speeches of the two leaders, this incomparably luxurious reception banquet began in this nondescript environment.

In fact, no one cares what the environment is like.

After the delicious dishes are served, almost everyone is burying their heads in the dry meal.

The craftsmanship of this hotel is no less than that of summer.

Judging from the eating speed of Old Man Jin and Jin Zheng, the level of some dishes even faintly surpasses him.

When Xia Ling ate his first bite of food, he felt that something was wrong.

The taste of the dish is so good, it doesn't look like it was made by the people of the Holy Son's Chef Corps.

The people under him know all the level of their own, and they won't be able to improve so much in three years, right?

Five years, five years......

Today......

Could it be......

Xia Ling put down his chopsticks and slapped his head.

"My day, today is the day we agreed to reunite five years ago?"

Zhu Zhuqing gave him a disgusted look and didn't speak.

"yes, boss, I thought you forgot about us."

"Look, what am I talking about? Is Brother Ling's eyes only Sister Zhuqing? ”

Two familiar voices came from behind him.

Looking back, on the left is a peachy-eyed young man in a white chef's suit.

Under the meticulous chef's uniform, the powerful and explosive muscles are faintly highlighted.

To his right was another well-proportioned youth.

The short fiery red hair in the style of a mohican is very eye-catching.

"Xiao Ao, fat man, you two bastards still owe so much, don't you say a few words to the Yin and Yang brothers if you haven't seen each other for five years?"

Xia Ling laughed and got up, opened his bow left and right, and squeezed the two people's skulls under his arms.

"Oops, let go, neck, neck! Wait for a fight, and you will feel stronger again in the past five years. ”

"Brother Ling, you still call me fat with our tendons, it's too much!"

After a while of playing, the three of them finally fell silent.

After sitting down, Xia Ling looked around and asked, "Why are you two?" How many of them are there? Rong Rong and Senior Sister didn't come back? ”

"Bad, don't mention it. The two of us originally acted separately, I went back to the Wuhun Hall to visit the teacher, and Rong Rong also said that he would go home first. As a result, it was just in time for Uncle Ning and Grandpa Jian to do business in the newly built Seven Treasure Liulizong office in Wuhun City. ”

Oscar was helpless when he mentioned this.

"So...... Rong Rong didn't even have a chance to run, so he was directly detained for education. ”

"In the past five years, Ning Rongrong has caused a lot of trouble, and the Seven Treasure Liuli Sect has wiped her ass a lot. If Uncle Ning hadn't promised to let her hang out for five years, she would have been arrested a long time ago. No, I should still be locked up now. ”

Summer Spirit: "......"

Zhu Zhuqing: "......"

Yes, this is very Ning Rongrong.

Doesn't sound like a surprise at all......

Ma Hongjun also spoke: "Actually, we also came back as early as the day before yesterday. Nana was originally fine, but it turned out that Sister Xue didn't skip work and come out to be the captain of the honor guard, so she went to help Brother Evil Moon go on a mission together, and she would probably be back tomorrow. ”

Speaking of which, everyone collectively looked at Qianrenxue, who was listening to the story with great interest.

Qian Lingxue looked at Ma Hongjun, then at Xia Ling, and stuck out her tongue playfully.

"What are you doing? Why? I've worked so hard for so long, can't I be lazy? ”

Summer Ling couldn't cry or laugh.

"Okay, okay, steal, steal, steal, steal, and you're done. Anyway, my sister has been lazy for five years, so she should be on top of the class, so she should exercise in advance. ”

Everyone just said a word, and I talked about the experience of the past five years.

Especially the summer spirit.

In the first two years, everyone could still see his "great achievements" in the newspapers, but in the next three years, he disappeared completely.

Now that he narrated this, a few friends realized how outrageous their boss's experience in the next three years was.
