No, where does this portal come from?

"Aatrox?" Hearing this name, Lin Yan's brows immediately raised, and he looked up and down at Aatrox's outfit carefully.

At this time, Aatrox was wearing a ferocious yet sacred golden heavy armor.

The golden armor reflected a lava-like luster in the sunset.

The embossed shoulder armor had spikes, the half-open hawk mask had a cold steel luster, and the sharp metal beak almost pierced the air.

Dark red lines remained on the uncovered lower jaw.

The giant sword on his back was a matte silver-gray, its spine covered with fine patterns. The dark red lines in the deep blood grooves undulated like a living thing, as if sealing the lava that was about to erupt.

When the halo swept across the sword, the scarlet veins and the golden armor reflected each other, tearing out a dangerous beauty between holiness and brutality.

The angel is exquisitely crafted.

Able to accurately grasp the feeling of beauty and hideousness.

Give the Sword Demon the beauty he wants.

"It looks good~~ How does this body feel?" Lin Yan asked with interest.

The Sword Demon had always wanted to change into a handsome and qualified body. Today he finally got his wish, and he should also ask how it feels.

"How does it feel..." The Sword Demon lowered his head in thought, then raised his head after a moment: "It has never been so good!"

"The fourth generation divine body created by those angels has become even stronger under the erosion of the Darkin. Now I can definitely reach the level of a God Warrior."

"Also, the spiritual erosion from the void was largely removed by the angels using implantation and removal techniques. Now I can easily suppress those violent thoughts."

“This body gave me a new life.”

"For this, I have come here specially to thank you." The Sword Demon said seriously.

In response to the Sword Demon's gratitude, Lin Yan accepted it with pleasure without hesitation, and then invited the Sword Demon into the courtyard.

After entering the yard, the two began to talk about the Sword Demon's past.

As they talked, he seemed to have thought of something and looked up at the Sword Demon.

"By the way, Aatrox, are you interested in visiting the parallel world of your own?

Anyway, I haven’t been back for a long time…”

"Things happening in the current world have just ended today... I think I should go back and see what has happened to that world." Lin Yan invited, and the Sword Demon nodded in agreement without even thinking.

Is it a parallel world to my own world?

Sounds quite interesting...

The 'parallel world' he mentioned in the conversation just now is actually the Twin Cities.

From the beginning to now, more than four years have passed.

Now that things have come to this, I should go back and take a look.

Go back and look at the place where it all started.

Let’s also see whether the Twin Cities have changed today thanks to the efforts of those two people.

Good! It’s a happy decision!

Return to the Twin Cities!

Chapter 134 Changes in the Twin Cities

"Happy Purification Day~~"

"Happy Purification Day—"

"May the miasma not enter your home."

"May the miasma not enter your home."

An old woman in a starched shirt stood on tiptoe to tie colorful silk to the street lamp, her wrinkled face filled with smiles.

The young man pushing the candied berry cart blew a brass whistle in response, and the glass wind chimes hanging on the front of the cart tinkled crisply.

Indigo and silver-gray flags hung from the lintels of shops along the street, and the gear logo of Golask Industries was faintly visible among the fluttering balloons.

The crowd dressed in festive attire looked like a flowing river of colors.

Women's lace skirts swept across the newly paved asphalt road, children chased each other among the carved steel benches holding marshmallows, and the crisp sound of their heels hitting the ground and their laughter echoed one after another.

The air was filled with the aroma of toasted muffins and the unique, minty, cool scent of the purification system.

On this day, people put on their best clothes and walked on the streets, greeting each other with smiles on their faces.

Since Golask Industries teamed up with the Gilaman family to officially maintain the air purification system in the downtown area, the air quality in the downtown area has improved significantly.

Later, the boss of Golask Industries, Renata, personally visited Professor Heimerdinger and invited him to provide a better solution and invention for the air purification device.

Faced with such a kind act, Professor Heimerdinger did not refuse.

Half a year later, a new generation of air purification devices came out, completely solving the pollution problem in the downtown area.

In the days that followed, Golask Industries teamed up with other alchemy barons to start a real estate model.

In just three years, Dicheng was completely transformed.

Although not everyone can afford to live in a new house, Golask Industries has truly achieved the goal of "if you work for me for five years, I will allocate you a property."

As for the maintenance and management of order in the city, Vandel, a warlord with armed forces, independently maintains the order in the city.

Vandel is extremely strict with his subordinates.

If any of his men abuse their power to bully others, he will send him to the Gray Miasma Prison and let him experience the pain before the city became better.

They do not take a single needle or thread from outsiders, but create dreams and wealth with their own hands. They are the sheriffs of the city supported by everyone.

Vandel, the Godfather of Dicheng, is also gaining recognition with the love of the people of Dicheng.

Of course, after Vandel became powerful, Hilco, the "shadow" of the bottom city, met Vandel again one night.

Neither of them spoke when they met, but they returned to the familiar tavern, and Vander personally poured a glass of rye beer for Hilko.

The two of them laughed and put aside their grudges.

From that day on, Vandel handed over the arms business to Sevika.

And he told Sevika not to forget his original intention.

Otherwise, when Lin Yan comes back from traveling around the world, he will take back everything he has now.

And Sevica always kept in mind what Vandel said, maintaining order and taking business into consideration with an extremely fair attitude.

As the environment in the lower city gets better day by day, people's quality of life improves visibly, and people in the upper city are even less resistant to people in the lower city.

As the saying goes: No one cares about the poor in the city, but the rich in the mountains have distant relatives.

When a person gets better, those who once looked down on him will come to him.

The same goes for the upper and lower towns.

When the "poor relative" of Xiacheng gradually became rich, although Shangcheng would be jealous, his first thought was how to establish a good relationship with this poor relative who was gradually becoming rich.

Today's Purification Day is a special festival set up for communication between the upper and lower cities.

The date of establishment was set on the day Lin Yan said goodbye at the joint request of Vander and Hilko.

It means that although Lin Yan left Shuangcheng, his influence was deeply imprinted in the lower city, allowing the lower city, which was originally trapped in a difficult situation, to have the day to get out.

The Bridge of Progress, which was once heavily guarded, is now filled with snacks and goods from the lower and upper cities.

People trade with each other and exchange what they have.

Even Vandel's Fulgrim Tavern had a stall cart because of its booming business and expanded its business to the Bridge of Progress.

By the way, this year marks the fourteenth year since Lin Yan left.

Vandel and Hilko's hair has turned a little gray now.

There are also a lot more wrinkles on the faces of both of them.

The little guy who used to eat instant noodles can now serve beer to customers.

"Hey, hey, hey! Two glasses of rye beer, why don't you bring them up?"

A few urging voices came from the noisy crowd.

Baobao, who was holding the rye beer, responded loudly, then picked up two glasses of rye beer and took a few quick steps to deliver the drinks.

After reciting and understanding the Heart Purification Mantra day and night, Baobao's spirit is now exceptionally stable.

I am even a little too calm, and sometimes some philosophical questions arise in my mind.

For example, the three philosophical questions: "Who am I?", "Where do I come from?", and "Where am I going?"

After delivering the drinks, Baobao returned to the bar of the stall cart and looked at Vander who was mixing cocktails.

Nowadays, Vander's clothes have become very tasteful. He wears a white shirt that shows off his figure and brown curly hair combed back. With a brown vest and overalls worn over the shirt, he looks like a thug in a suit.

Next to Vandel, the still thin Hill was wearing a suit vest and trousers, leaning on a golden cane, with his hair combed back meticulously.

Although the two men look a little older than in previous years, the charm of mature men is still irresistible to some young women, who frequently cast seductive glances at them.

Looking at the two people who were dressed very handsomely, the slightly punk-style Baobao seemed much lower in class in comparison.

She leaned over the bar, her blue eyes scanning the two of them.

"Fander, today is the fourteenth year since Brother Ling left..."

"Brother Lin, has he never thought about coming back to see us all these years?" Baobao complained vaguely, like a left-behind child.

"Besides, don't you two miss him?"

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Fandel.

After mixing the wine, Vander was wiping the wine glass with a clean handkerchief.

Hearing this, he paused while wiping the cup, put down the glass in his hand, looked up, and said with a slight sigh: "Don't want to? How could I not want to?"

"See that statue?"

Fandel pointed to a huge brass statue about ten meters high standing in the center of the street not far away.

The details of the statue are portrayed to the extreme, even the texture of the hair is extremely realistic.

Except that huge brass statue has no facial features...

Or rather, its facial features are blurry.

"It was built in Mr. Lin's image."

"We will always remember Mr. Lin's influence and help to Dicheng, and we dare not take any credit for his contribution."

"For this reason, the two of us erected a huge statue for Mr. Lin..."

"Unfortunately, as time went by and the statue was gradually built, our image of Mr. Lin became increasingly vague..."

"Until now, I can no longer remember my facial features and appearance that day..."

"So the statue's facial features were never painted."

"The statue faces away from the city, gazing out at the world."

"Mr. Lin's ambitions are not here... If we leave Shuangcheng, we can help more people."

“And even if we miss him, we won’t have the idea of ​​tying him to the Twin Cities.”

"This is also the idea that Mr. Lin wants to convey to us."

Vandel looked into the distance, his eyes revealing admiration and longing for the vague figure. Even Hilko's eyes couldn't help but have a bit of nostalgia for the past.

Fourteen years apart...

It is true that the person’s face has disappeared, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.

Chapter 135 Is this the perfect timeline?

A joyful atmosphere permeated the streets, and Vander's stall sold drinks one after another.

Listening to Vander's slightly emotional words, Baobao lay helplessly on the counter, tapping the wine glass beside him with his fingers from time to time to relieve his boredom.

The happy wind blows past my ears.
