Chapter 57: The Story

In the Shanglu Guild Building, Wang Luodong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly enjoying the night view of the stubborn bay outside the window. It had just rained heavily, and the streets outside the window were full of clouds, and the neon clouds covered with rain and fog had become hazy.

Wang Luodong's mood was like this neon, although it was bright, but it was also covered with a faint mist, because five minutes ago, a piece of news reached his ears, it was bad news.

It was this news that made this city promotion competition a little confusing.

"Bang." The door to the room was pushed open, and Tsuki hurried in. Her hair was still stained with some raindrops, she must have just come from outside.

"Is the news true?" As soon as he entered the door and saw Wang Luodong's back, Wanyue asked directly.

"You can't be wrong." Wang Luodong turned his head and replied indifferently.

"But why did he suddenly return to Iron Hook City and represent Iron Hook City in this city promotion competition?" Wanyue's face didn't look good.

"I'm afraid it was premeditated. This person, if he is in the waves, may have a chance to fight with him. There's still no news from the president, so we can only prepare for the worst. Wang Luodong said.

"What's the worst? Now we have no one in our team who is a match for this man, you know that. Wanyue said.

"Of course I do." Wang Luodong nodded.

"Then why don't you have any intention of worrying at all?" Wanyue asked.

"This person's return to Iron Hook City is indeed beyond our expectations, but isn't there a variable on our side?" Wang Luodong smiled.

"You mean...... Ye Ming? Wanyue asked.

"Yes, that's him!"

……

Ye Ming, who was in Demon Fire Town, didn't know that at this moment, because of the change in the pattern of the city's promotion competition, Wang Luodong and Wanyue had high hopes for him, and now he was holding a porcelain bowl and drinking a cup of sweet cold water.

When the cold water enters the mouth, the bitter taste is immediately weakened a little, and in less than a few seconds when the cold water falls into the stomach, the bitter taste has been removed.

"Thank you, boss." Ye Ming can be regarded as relieved. This cool sweet water was given to Ye Ming by the owner of this grocery store, that is, the old man. This cold water has a sweet taste and can dissolve bitterness.

"Look at your appearance, if you don't have this cold water, you will have to be tortured by this bitter taste for at least a month. The bitterness brought by this spoon is probably something that my old man can bear alone. The old man sighed.

Ye Ming communicated with the old man for a while, knowing that he was a person who had completely lost his sense of taste, and he couldn't feel the taste of anything he ate. Only the unbearable bitterness of this spoon was able to stimulate his taste buds and make him feel a little bitter.

The old man got the spoon, and if he got a treasure, it was the only thing that could give him a taste, even if it was only bitter, it was enough.

"Boss, I brought you something, do you have to help me untie the barrier power attached to the card?" Ye Ming took out the dark gold character card.

"I do know how to unlock the power seal on this card, but it's not an easy task. The hidden power of this card is by no means something that ordinary people can control. You sit here for a while, and I'll unravel its first barrier for you. The old man took the card, walked to the back door of the store, and "rubbed" upstairs.

"Remember, don't go out." Upstairs, came the old man's advice.

Hearing the old man's instructions, Ye Ming was even more puzzled. What kind of special day is it in Demon Fire Town? Is it time to trigger the hidden plot?

Ye Ming lay on the crack of the door, looking at the street outside the store, empty, there was no one, and there was no movement, it seemed that the entire Demon Fire Town had fallen asleep tonight.

"Could it be in the book?" Ye Ming turned his head to look at the books in the store. There are a lot of old books in the store, so you might be able to get some news from them.

"Boss, can you open the book and read it?" Ye Ming shouted to the second floor.

"Just pay."

"No problem."

Ye Ming took a book, unpacked it, and began to flip through it.

Most of the words in this book record the history of Demon Fire Town, and when Ye Ming read it page by page, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. Because the book explicitly mentions the Ancient Stubborn!

Moreover, the records in the books also wrote that there were two mysterious characters who appeared in Demon Fire Town, and there were also descriptions of their appearance in the books. is talking about these two people, similar in shape, both tall and burly far beyond ordinary people, one seems to be a weak scholar, and the other is full of beard, looking arrogant.

One makes a trident, and one makes a giant hammer.

This...... Isn't that what we mean by the lack of columns and the thunderbolt? The two people who appeared inside the psychedelic mansion.

Ye Ming had long guessed that Lie Que and Thunderbolt had a great relationship with the ancient stubborn spirits, but he didn't expect that they would appear in the books of Demon Fire Town. Of course, the authenticity of the book's records needs to be investigated, but if it is true, then the ancient stubborn spirits also have a close relationship with Demon Fire Town.

There is a connection between the dungeon and the dungeon in this world Ye Ming is clear, just like the flame attached to the No. 1 boss Demon Flame Stone Man in the Bonfire Forest, it is the Demon Fire in Demon Fire Town, this Demon Flame Stone Man escaped from Demon Fire Town.

So what does the ancient stubborn spirit have to do with this demon fire town?

"When you read a book, don't mess with the pages of my books, these books are collectible." The old man suddenly came down from the stairs.

"Got it?" Ye Ming put the book aside.

"Hmm. This is only the first procedure, and the power on the card needs to be unlocked by another person. This person is also in Demon Fire Town, if you don't have anything to do tonight to leave in a hurry, you can stay with me, and when it's later, I'll take you over to find him. The old man returned the character card to Ye Ming.

The character card doesn't look the same as it originally looked, except that the glow flowing on it is slightly stronger.

"What day is it in Demon Fire Town? Why isn't there a single person in town? Ye Ming put the card away and asked.

"It's not a special day, except that tonight everyone has made an appointment that no one will wander around town until eleven o'clock. As for what it is, it's a long story. The old man said.

"Isn't that all right? Tell me, I'll listen. Ye Ming said.

"It's okay, it's been a long time since anyone wants to listen to my story, you sit, I'll go get the book, people don't have a good memory when they're old, I'll talk to you while reading the book and reminiscing."

The old man turned around and went up to the second floor again.
