Chapter 7 See City Lord
The gate is really open, and there is no need to pay any entrance fee at all.
Fu Xue rushed in front of Du Wenyu and strode into the city.
On both sides of the street, there is an endless stream of bustling people; in the middle of the street, there is a lot of traffic, and the atmosphere is very lively.
Fu Xue bought a string of rock sugar and sour dates in her hand and walked casually on the brightly lit street. She proposed to Du Wenyu, "This scene is like a festival. If you don't wait for a meeting, let's go to see the elemental attribute competition. I heard that the competition was very shocking. It's a pity to miss it."
"Miss, there are people everywhere here. What should we do if we meet people from the Flame family?" Du Wenyu carried the weak and weak Xuan Mingyuan on his back and said helplessly.
Biting down the table tennis-sized jujube, Fu Xue shouted angrily, "Okay, okay, but we have to eat, right? I'm starving to death."
"This is simple. Let's go straight to the inn now and order some food. Don't worry, I'm full. I promise I won't make you hungry. Du Wenyu took a big step and walked towards a low-grade inn.
There is a reason why Du Wenyu chose a low-grade inn.
Whenever there is an elemental attribute competition, the event center will publicize it many days in advance. On the day of the game, it will attract many people inside and outside Storm City to watch. In this atmosphere that is comparable to major festivals, because there are many people, there is also a large consumer demand, so that the merchants in all walks of life are also profitable, which greatly drives the economic take-off in Storm City.
Because the audience who come to watch the elemental attribute competition are all rich owners, high-end and mid-grade inns are the most popular, and this kind of low-grade inn naturally has a small flow of people and receives very little attention.
Watching Du Wenyu walk into a low-grade inn, Fu Xue did not show any dissatisfaction. After all, traveling south and north to escort the dart is to make some hard money, and living in a low-grade inn can save a lot of pearl coins.
So, Fu Xue understands it very well.
Now is the important time when the game is about to start. There are very few guests in the inn. After all, most people either choose to watch the wonderful boxing match or play on the lively street. No one wants to stay in the inn with no entertainment activities.
In order to stay unnoticed, Du Wenyu specially opened two of the most remote rooms.
After settling Xuan Mingyuan in **, Du Wenyu gave Fu Xue some pearl coins and asked her to go to dinner first, and then buy some delicious food to bring back.
After watching Fu Xue go out in a hurry, Du Wenyu sat by the window, looked at the traffic on the street, and sighed thoughtfully, "Alas, I hope this young lady doesn't get into trouble as soon as she enters the city."
The starlight was finely sprinkled on the window sill, and the number of people playing on the street plummeted a lot.
At this time, it has been more than 20 minutes since Fu Xue went out. The game has begun, and Xuan Mingyuan has already fallen asleep, but Fu Xue has not come back yet.
"It seems that Fu Xue did not choose to eat in the inn, but chose to go out to play, so she still won't waste time waiting." Du Wenyu sighed.
After saying that, Du Wenyu directly entered the state of cultivation.
Since completing all the training in the independent space, Li Lie has not provided new tasks, but asked Du Wenyu to start fighting against the teenager.
Because he learned today that the teenager was actually Li Lie's previous life, Du Wenyu looked at the teenager in front of him with great interest.
"With beautiful eyebrows and a well-proportioned figure, he still looks like a handsome man." Du Wenyu proudly talked about his feet.
Li Lie had a feeling of being molested and immediately asked, "What are you looking at? Why don't you start quickly!"
"Because I'm thinking about a problem." Du Wenyu stared at the teenager.
Li Lie asked, "What's the problem?"
"You are 16 years old in your previous life. Why can't you control the elemental energy to attack?" Du Wenyu asked curiously.
After being sad by Du Wenyu, Li Lie sighed and said, "If I could control the elemental energy at that time, how could I not even protect my beloved, let alone become the lowest level of ghost in the fairyland."
"It seems that this is your sad past! However, recalling the painful past is not helpful to the current life. It's better to grasp the present and try to leave no regrets in the future!" After feeling the change of Li Lie's mood, Du Wenyu did not make fun of Li Lie as usual, but shouted loudly.
After saying that, Du Wenyu immediately began to attack the teenager in front of him.
Li Lie smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, besides, I am not the only one who has the memory of my previous life, but you seem to care more about your current life, even the family that has nothing to do with you."
In the face of the continuous attacks of teenagers, Du Wenyu did not fall behind at all, and took the time to respond, "If there is no Fu Yu, I don't have my current life, so I must bear his responsibilities. This is my promise!"
Attack, keep going on!
After almost stopping to attack with the teenager for more than three hours, Du Wenyu began to gradually be at a downwind. At this time, Li Lie said, "You can go out!"
"Dong Dong Dong!"
In reality, a very powerful knock on the door came rhythmically.
Not only knocked Du Wenyu out of the state of cultivation, but the loud voice also woke up Xuan Mingyuan.
As soon as Du Wenyu got up and opened the door, Fu Xue came in like a gust of wind.
"Eat it quickly, or it will be cold." Fu Xue quickly put the food in her hand on the table and said.
When Du Wenyu saw Fu Xue's angry appearance, he asked curiously, "What on earth have you done?" It doesn't seem to take so long to buy these foods.
"You, it doesn't matter!" Fu Xue didn't even look at Du Wenyu, so she quickly walked out of the door.
Du Wenyu shook his head and sighed, "A woman's temper is really elusive. I haven't been angry yet, but she is angry.
At this time, Xuan Mingyuan's mind was still a little confused, and he said weakly, "Brother Yu, what do you think we should do about this?"
"What should I do?" Du Wenyu asked blankly.
Xuan Mingyuan's expression became very anxious and said hurriedly, "It's the important thing I told you in the woods when I chased you. If it drags down, I'm afraid that both of us will be finished!"
"You didn't seem to say anything to me at that time, because when you were about to say it, you fainted." Du Wenyu stretched out his hand and said helplessly.
Xuan Mingyuan didn't seem to believe it and compromised, "Well, I'll tell you again now."
"Don't worry, don't worry. Let's eat something first and then talk about it slowly." Du Wenyu felt that Xuan Mingyuan was still not clear-headed and quickly stopped him.
The two hungry people soon swept away these large meals like wind and clouds.
When Du Wenyu saw Xuan Mingyuan eating happily, he knew that he was completely fine.
"You must pay attention to the rules of eating from now on, and don't consume too much energy when you are hungry. Well, now you can say what's important. Du Wenyu patted Xuan Mingyuan on the shoulder and reminded him.
Xuan Mingyuan's expression suddenly became a little anxious and sighed, "Well, this is because you have won an amazing 49 games in both games at the same time, and the name Iron Man has also been very influential on the field and even in Storm City. Since a few months ago, many forces have come to me and ask you to deliberately lose the designated game. However, I tried my best to get rid of it on the grounds that I don't know you. After all, according to your independent style, they don't doubt me much and embarrass me, but..."
After grabbing the cup and pouring a few mouthfuls of water, Xuan Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Today, I found that among the members of the Flame family, there were people who came to me to consult about this matter. Think about it again, how shocking it is that you, an ordinary person who has no talent to awaken, actually defeated the fifth young master of the flame family who is proficient in energy elements. If they infer that you are the real Iron Man, then I was there again. If it is revealed, we will all suffer.
"This is my negligence. By the way, what is their purpose?" Du Wenyu pondered for a moment before asking.
Xuan Mingyuan said in a very dissatisfied tone, "Fake games, and black games and so on. I know you are not interested in these, so I didn't bother you, so I took the initiative to filter it out, but from today on, I'm afraid of other forces..."
"Wait, are you talking about the black game?" Du Wenyu interrupted Xuan Mingyuan's complaint.
Xuan Mingyuan glanced at Du Wenyu puzzledly, patted his thigh hard, and said harshly, "Yes, it's a black game. It's okay if you don't mention it. It makes me angry when you mention it. At that time, a middle-aged man gave me an entry and exit certificate, saying that he was a guest of the lord's mansion, and asked me to tell you in the future.
Slapting the table heavily, Xuan Mingyuan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "At that time, I didn't believe it at all. The guest of the city owner's family wanted you to play a black game. What a joke, so I coldly bombed him out. As a result, guess what? About two months later, I accidentally found that the person who saw me was really a diner who sent food in the city owner's mansion.
He tapped his chest with his hands, and Xuan Mingyuan showed a very surprised expression and exaggerated, "The world is really crazy. Even the city owner takes the lead in playing fake games. What else is there in the field?"
"Black game? Isn't it an underground black competition?" Du Wenyu was stunned and asked.
Xuan Mingyuan answered loudly, "Yes, yes! Underground black game, just listen to the name and you will know. It's obvious that you want to do a shady show!"
Staring at Xuan Mingyuan in a frenze, Du Wenyu felt a little speechless.
"How can this misunderstanding be explained clearly!" Du Wenyu suddenly understood and said in his heart.
In order to understand Xuan Mingyuan, Du Wenyu thought for a while before saying, "Well, in fact, this is not a bad thing. Where is the access certificate? Alas, don't worry about this matter and leave it to me at ease!"
"However, these families found are too powerful and numerous, and there are also the power of the city owner. If you choose one, you will definitely offend other families. We..." Xuan Mingyuan thought that Du Wenyu would choose to join one family, and quickly reminded him.
Du Wenyu knew what Xuan Mingyuan was worried about and said in a very understanding tone, "I will give them a reasonable explanation to ensure that they will not bother you and transfer their anger to you."
Xuan Mingyuan blushed and said, "I, that's not what I mean!"
"Don't worry, give me the entry and exit certificate, and I promise it will be handled properly!" Du Wenyu patted his chest and promised.
The entry and exit certificate of the city owner's mansion, Xuan Mingyuan is naturally placed close to his chest, but this symbolizes that the feeling of detached status and identity is not only not good, but also a kind of hot potato.
After confirming that Du Wenyu was going to take over, Xuan Mingyuan immediately took out the entry and exit voucher from his chest and declared that he was a little tired. He quickly fell into ** to rest.
After taking over this cool so-called access voucher, Du Wenyu immediately looked at it carefully.
This entry and exit certificate is light cyan and hard. It should be made of alloy, which is also mixed with a little wind energy stones, because Du Wenyu senses the weak fluctuation of wind elements, which is why it is cool.
It is said to be an access certificate, which is just a more popular name, because the three big words "Storm House" are engraved on it, and the lower right is engraved with a small word - "Order", which is surrounded by some small tornado patterns. Each pattern is exactly the same, and the size is not the same. It seems that the surroundings The pattern is the anti-counterfeiting logo of this token.
Presumably, the function of this extremely difficult token to imitate is the access certificate, which is why it is called.
It's just a small entry and exit certificate. You can see the exquisiteness and exquisiteness in it. You can imagine how powerful the Storm family is.
Just as Du Wenyu sighed, Li Lie's voice suddenly came and said, "You can take this entry and exit voucher tomorrow to see the city owner - Hurricane Xuan!"
"Now it's only a short time before the talent awakening. Do you think it's necessary to go to the black competition at this time?" Du Wenyu asked puzzledly.
Li Lie explained in a positive tone: "Of course, if you go to participate in the underground black competition, the flame family will focus on you, at least so that your family will not be harmed. If you are lucky enough to get the protection of the city owner, then not only you, but also your family will Everything is fine. Don't you think this is a good idea?
Du Wenyu didn't believe it and asked, "But why did the city lord protect me?"
Li Lie proposed: "Black game, as long as you can bring enough benefits to the city owner in the black game, how can he refuse? You have to believe that the current situation is a difficult situation for you, but for a high-ranking person like the city owner, it can only be regarded as a piece of hands. So don't be afraid. You can meet Hurricane Xuan tomorrow morning, and the answer will be known.
"Good! Then I'll try it tomorrow!" Du Wenyu agreed to take it down.
After making the decision, Du Wenyu did not choose to stay in bed like Xuan Mingyuan, but continued to return to the independent space to have an unfinished battle with the teenager, trying desperately to improve his strength in combat skills.
The purple sun has not yet risen from the horizon, but the sky has brightened.
Du Wenyu, who had practiced all night, left a note before Fu Xue and Xuan Mingyuan got up, intending to go to the Storm family mansion alone to see the city owner Hurricane Xuan.
Although I have never been to the Storm family mansion, in fact, it is not difficult to find, because it is right in the middle of Storm City, behind the center of the stadium.
As soon as he arrived at the back door of the center of the stadium, Du Wenyu saw the majestic independent gate of the Storm family mansion and the two conscientious guards from afar.
As Du Wenyu walked, he stared at the guards standing majestically on both sides of the gate and said to his heart, "Tut, it is said that even the gatekeepers of the Storm family are practitioners of the title of illusionist."
Although the two guards are motionless, their majestic posture has a daunting feeling.
Du Wenyu didn't care at all and walked straight to the gate.
"Stop, what's the matter with you?" One of the guards took a step forward to stop Du Wenyu's way forward.
Du Wenyu stopped, explained his intention, and said, "I'm looking for the lord of the city."
After saying that, Du Wenyu took out the entry and exit voucher.
"Please come in!" The guard took a step back and released it directly without even asking the reason.
The other guard waved his arms, and the cyan smoke gathered in the palm of his hand, and a whirlwind went into the air.
After finishing this series of things, the two guards were as if they had just been decided.
As Du Wenyu stepped into the door, he wondered in his heart, "Well, this wind energy element is not used for attack, so what should the real function be?"
Just as he walked to the closed entrance door, Du Wenyu was about to knock on the door when the two doors opened.
An old man looked at Du Wenyu with a kind smile and invited, "Hey, I'm the steward of the Storm family - Hua, please follow me!"
"Hello, Mr. Hua!" Du Wenyu nodded and greeted him politely.
The energetic Hua turned around, put his hands behind his back, turned his head and smiled at Du Wenyu, "Alas, there are really not many such polite young people now."
Du Wenyu didn't say anything, but laughed twice.
The stewor of the city owner opened the door for himself in person and led himself to the house. What is this minimum greeting and courtesy?
Stepping on the road paved with rain and stones, Du Wenyu observed the surrounding environmental layout with great interest.
This kind of relatively common rainstone is not even an ordinary energy stone at all. It does not reflect any preciousness. At most, it can only be regarded as beautiful and elegant.
Although the garden in the distance has pavilions, buildings, corridors and bridges, its simple architectural styles and monotonous colors are also not very luxurious.
......
Now the indoor temperature is 36 degrees, which is the peak period of electricity consumption, and the voltage is extremely unstable. In 10 minutes, the computer has been restarted three times in a row, so it's not that I don't want to create suspense at the end of the chapter, but I can't.
There are too many twists and turns this summer. I wish you all good luck and good health.
