Chapter 1798: After modification: Chapter 546 Return to Sinless City

"It’s been a long time since I last returned to Sinless City, I didn’t expect such a huge change..."

"Indeed. It feels like history has reversed. There’s even a Magic Tower on Downing Street..."

"It’s normal to have a Magic Tower at the dock as well. Even a Ninth Tier Card Master wouldn’t dare to storm that nine-story Magic Tower."

"..."

Not long after, Leonard Churchill and his two companions disembarked from the Void Dragon Boat and walked on the streets of Sinless City.

Familiar yet strange.

The people from the Southern Continent had taken control of Sinless City, dismantling everything related to machinery. The city, once full of steam boilers and steel pipes, had been cleared out entirely, with new buildings that showcased a clear Southern Continent magical style.

However, many of the high-rise buildings in the city originally needed mechanical devices like elevators to function. Now, without machinery, they had completely become stairway buildings.

The mixed architectural styles of the city gave a strong feeling of a clash between civilizations, like a steam car pulling a carriage.

Leonard Churchill and his companions walked the streets, unable to help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

The Iris Legion’s territory in the East Wilderness was gradually shrinking, with Sinless City and a few surrounding military fortresses being the only areas still under their complete control.

As for other cities, they were filled with the endless Silver Moon Believers, which the people from the Southern Continent didn’t want to occupy, nor did they have the manpower to do so.

They had repaired the outer walls of Sinless City, and almost all adventurers and mercenaries from the Southern Continent had gathered in the city, treating the East Wilderness as a hunting ground much like the Magical Beast Forest.

It was easy to come to the East Wilderness. Leonard Churchill and his companions barely encountered any trouble after a bit of disguise.

But going back would be difficult, requiring thorough faith and identity verification.

Blending into the crowd, the three observed the guard forces and the layout of the Magic Towers near the dock, and quietly made their way onto Downing Street.

No matter how things had changed, Downing Street remained bustling.

The taverns with familiar signs were still filled with noise and excitement, and the streetwalkers were as beautiful and passionate as ever. The distinctive little building of the Flood Gang at no.1 Downing Street was brightly lit. But the faces coming and going were almost all unfamiliar.

Walking down the street, Leonard Churchill felt a strong sense of the passage of time as he looked at the familiar yet strange street.

He had once been a Corpse Collector in Sinless City and had loitered around the Flood Gang. Nothing was as it used to be.

As they walked, he suddenly spotted an Adventure Tavern with a sign saying "Old Gun Tavern."

Sparked by a sudden thought, Leonard Churchill said, "Shall we go in for a drink?"

He remembered that this was the tavern he had visited when he first came to Sinless City.

Remarkably, while most of the stores on the street had changed, this one remained the same.

Camilla said nothing and nodded.

Tracy Garcia showed some interest and responded, "Sure."

....

The three entered the tavern and found a seat by the window.

Leonard Churchill specifically looked at the drink prices on the bar menu, noticing that they were much more expensive than before.

He thought it was probably because Sinless City’s brewing industry had been destroyed, and the output from the original small breweries was not high.

However, the menu now included many drinks unique to the Southern Continent.

Also, there were many more call girls in the tavern now, and their quality had significantly improved.

Some of the girls even had the looks and demeanor of noble ladies, rather than the appearance of women born into the underbelly of society.

Leonard Churchill had the habit of observing his surroundings in any unfamiliar place, and he quickly noticed this. He even felt that one young woman in a red short skirt looked familiar.

This brief glance was keenly noticed by Tracy Garcia, who blinked and asked, "Mr. Leonard Churchill, do you want to invite one of the girls over for a drink?"

The tavern was filled with adventurers, who were never shy about spending money for a good time.

At the moment, nearly every table had a few girls entertaining the guests with their alluring looks and revealing outfits.

Because of this intense competition, the girls approached almost every new customer in the tavern, making the scene quite provocative.

Since there were two ladies at Leonard Churchill’s table, no one disturbed them.

Leonard Churchill laughed and looked at Tracy Garcia, curiously asking, "Why do you ask?"

"I..."

Tracy Garcia hesitated, her face turning slightly red.

Although she didn’t say it outright, it was clear to her that Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter had a close relationship, and she suspected it had something to do with controlling mutations.

Her question wasn’t meant as a tease but out of concern. She wanted to ask if it was because the Witch’s mutation required some physical contact to satisfy certain needs...

She wouldn’t have minded inviting one of the girls.

But once she started speaking, she realized Leonard Churchill had no such intention.

"Ha ha..."

Seeing Tracy Garcia’s awkward expression, Leonard Churchill couldn’t help but smile.

This Bun-Haired Miss had grown much in strength, but her innocence remained unchanged.

Before she could stammer any further, he revealed the reason: "If I’m not mistaken, that girl in the red short skirt used to be a legitimate lady of the Capen Family."

This was why he had taken a second look.

Tracy Garcia thought about the surname for a moment and then exclaimed in surprise, "Are you talking about the Capens, one of the five great Senator families of the Federation?"

"Yes," Leonard Churchill nodded. "I don’t know her personally, but I saw her at a ball once."

Hearing this, both Tracy Garcia and Camilla had a curious glint in their eyes.

They knew that back in the day, being a Senator in the Federation meant being one of the top powers in the East Wilderness, with at least a Duke’s rank.
