Chapter 7: See the Lord of the City

The gates were wide open, and there was no need to pay any entrance fees at all.

Fu Xue rushed in front of Du Wenyu and strode into the city.

On both sides of the street, there is a bustling flow of people, and in the middle of the street, there is a lot of traffic, and the atmosphere is very lively.

Fu Xue bought a bunch of rock sugar and sour dates and held them in her hand, strolling casually through the brightly lit streets, and proposed to Du Wenyu: "This meeting is like a festival, or wait, let's go and see the Elemental Attribute Competition, I heard that the competition was very shocking, and it was a pity to miss it." ”

"Miss, there are people everywhere here, what should we do if we meet someone from the Flame Family?" Du Wenyu said helplessly, carrying the weak Xuan Mingyuan.

Biting off the sour dates the size of a ping-pong ball, Fu Xue shouted a little angrily: "Okay, okay, okay, but we have to eat, right, I'm dying of hunger." ”

"It's easy, we'll go straight to the inn and stay at it, and then order something to eat. Rest assured, you won't be 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 Tournament, the Event Center will advertise it many days in advance. On the day of the game, it will attract many people from inside and outside Storm City. In this atmosphere comparable to that of major festivals, because there are many people, there are many people who need to read > novels, and there are many demands, which makes the merchants of all walks of life profitable, which greatly drives the economic take-off in Storm City.

Since the audience who came to watch the Elemental Attribute Contest were all wealthy owners, the high-end and mid-grade inns were the most popular in business, and this kind of low-grade inns naturally had a small flow of people and received very little attention.

Watching Du Wenyu walk into a low-grade inn, Fu Xue didn't show any dissatisfaction, after all, going south and north to dart is to make some hard-earned money, and living in a low-grade inn can save a lot of pearl coins.

Therefore, Fu Xue understands very well.

It was the important moment when the fight was about to begin, and there were very few guests in the inn, after all, most of the people either chose to watch the exciting boxing fight, or played on the lively streets, and no one wanted to stay in the inn with no entertainment.

In order not to be noticed, Du Wenyu specially opened two of the most remote guest rooms.

After settling Xuan Mingyuan in bed, Du Wenyu handed Fu Xue some pearl coins and asked her to go to dinner first, and then buy some delicious meals to bring back.

After watching Fu Xue go out in a hurry, Du Wenyu sat by the window, looking at the traffic on the street, and sighed thoughtfully: "Alas, I hope this eldest lady won't get into trouble as soon as she enters the city." ”

Starlight shone on the windowsill, and the number of people on the street plummeted.

At this time, it had been more than twenty minutes since Fu Xue went out, the game had already begun, and Xuan Mingyuan had already fallen into a deep sleep, but Fu Xue had not even returned.

It seems that Fu Xue did not choose to eat at the inn, but chose to go out to play, so she still didn't waste time waiting. Du Wenyu sighed.

After finishing speaking, Du Wenyu directly entered the cultivation state.

Since completing all the training in the independent space, Li Lie has not provided any new tasks, but he has asked Du Wenyu to start fighting against the teenager.

Since he learned today that this young man turned out to be Li Lie's previous life, Du Wenyu looked at the young man in front of him with great interest.

"With clear eyebrows and a well-proportioned figure, he still looks like a handsome guy. Du Wenyu proudly commented on his head.

Li Lie felt like he was being molested, and immediately asked, "What are you watching? Don't you start quickly!"

"Because I'm thinking about a problem. Du Wenyu stared at the young man and said.

Li Lie asked, "What problem?"

"You were already sixteen years old in your previous life, why haven't you been able to control the elemental energy to attack?" Du Wenyu asked with some curiosity.

After being said to be sad by Du Wenyu, Li Lie sighed and said, "If I could control the elemental energy at that time, how could I not even be able to protect my beloved, let alone become the lowest level ghost in the fairyland." ”

"It seems that this is your sad past! But recalling the painful past in the past, what help will it help in the current life, it is better to grasp the present and strive to make the future life without regrets!" After feeling the change in Li's mood, Du Wenyu did not ridicule Lilie as usual, but shouted loudly.

After finishing speaking, Du Wenyu immediately began to attack the young man in front of him.

Li Lie smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, besides, I am not the only one who has the memories of my past life, but you also have you, but you seem to care more about your current life, and even the family that has nothing to do with you cares very much." ”

In the face of the young man's continuous attacks, Du Wenyu did not fall behind at all, and took the time to respond: "If there is no Fu Yu, there is no life I have now, so I must bear the responsibility he shoulders, this is the promise I made!"

Attack, non-stop!

After almost three hours of fighting with the young man, Du Wenyu began to gradually gain the upper hand, and at this moment, Li Lie said, "You can go out!"

"Knock knock!"

In reality, a very powerful knock on the door came rhythmically.

Not only knocked Du Wenyu out of his cultivation state, but the loud sound also made Xuan Mingyuan wake up.

As soon as Du Wenyu got up and opened the door, Fu Xue blew in like a gust of wind.

"Eat quickly, or it's going to get cold. Fu Xue quickly put the food in her hand on the table and said.

Du Wenyu saw Fu Xue's annoyed look, and asked curiously, "What are you doing? It doesn't seem to take so long to buy these foods." ”

"You, don't care!" Fu Xue didn't even look at Du Wenyu, and quickly exited the door.

Du Wenyu shook his head and sighed: "A woman's temper is really elusive. I wasn't even angry, but she was angry. ”

At this time, Xuan Mingyuan's mind was still a little confused, and he said weakly: "Brother Yu, what do you say about this?"

"What should I do?" Du Wenyu asked blankly.

Xuan Mingyuan's expression became very anxious, and he hurriedly said: "It's the important thing I told you in the woods when I chased you, if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that both of us will be finished!"

"You didn't seem to say anything to me at the time, because when you were about to say something, you fainted. Du Wenyu spread out his hand and said helplessly.

Xuan Mingyuan seemed to be a little disbelieving, and compromised: "Yes, then I'll tell you again now." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's eat something first, and then talk slowly. Du Wenyu felt that Xuan Mingyuan's mind was still not clear, so he hurriedly stopped him.

The hungry two quickly swept away these large meals like a whirlwind.

When Du Wenyu saw Xuan Mingyuan's eating appearance, he knew that he was completely fine.

"From now on, you must pay attention to the regularity of eating, and don't exert too much energy when you are hungry. Okay, now you can say what exactly matters. Du Wenyu patted Xuan Mingyuan's shoulder and reminded.

Xuan Mingyuan's expression suddenly became a little anxious, and he sighed: "Alas, this matter was caused by you, because your two consecutive victories reached an astonishing forty-nine at the same time, and the name of Iron Man has also been very influential in the arena and even in Storm City. Since the past few months, many powerful parties have come to me and asked you to deliberately lose the designated match, but I tried my best to shirk it on the grounds that I didn't know you, after all, according to your independent style, they didn't doubt or embarrass me much, but ......"

After grabbing the cup and pouring a few sips of water, Xuan Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Today, I found that among the members of the Flame Family, there are people who have come to me to inquire about this matter. If you think about it again, how shocking it is that you, an ordinary person who has not yet had the talent to awaken, actually defeated the Fifth Young Master of the Flame Family, who is proficient in energy elements. If they deduce that you are the real Iron Man, then I was there at the time, and if it was revealed, we would all be in trouble. ”

"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 matches, and black races or something, I know you have no interest in these, so I didn't come to trouble and harass you, so I took the initiative to filter it out, but from today on, I'm afraid that other forces will ......"

"Wait, you said Heisai?" Du Wenyu interrupted Xuan Mingyuan's complaint.

Xuan Mingyuan glanced at Du Wenyu puzzled, patted his thigh vigorously, and said sharply: "Yes, it's Heisai, it's okay if you don't mention it, you are angry when I think of it." At that time, a middle-aged man gave me an entry and exit certificate, saying that he was a guest of the City Lord's Mansion and asked me to tell you my intentions in the future. ”

Slamming the table heavily, Xuan Mingyuan deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I didn't believe it at all, the guest of the city lord's family wanted you to play a black game, what kind of joke did you make, so I coldly bombarded him out." And guess what, about two months later, I stumbled upon the person who saw me and turned out to be a diner who was actually a diner at the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Tapping his chest with both hands, Xuan Mingyuan showed a very surprised expression, and exaggerated: "This world is really crazy, even the city lord has taken the lead in playing fake matches, so what else is true in the arena?"

"Isn't it an underground black race? Du Wenyu was stunned for a moment and asked.

Xuan Mingyuan replied loudly: "Yes, yes! Underground Black Race, just listen to the name." It's clear that I just want to do a shady performance game!"

Staring at Xuan Mingyuan in a daze, Du Wenyu felt a little speechless.

"This misunderstanding, how can it be explained clearly!" Du Wenyu suddenly understood and said in his heart.

In order for Xuan Mingyuan to understand, Du Wenyu thought for a while before he said: "Well, in fact, this is not a bad thing, where is the access certificate, alas, you can leave this matter alone, just leave it to me with confidence!"

"However, these families are too powerful, and there are a lot of them, and there are also forces from the city lord's side, if you choose one, you will inevitably offend other families, we ......" Xuan Mingyuan thought that Du Wenyu would choose to take refuge in one family, and hurriedly reminded.

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 trouble you and transfer their anger to you." ”

Xuan Mingyuan blushed and said, "I, I didn't mean that!"

"Don't worry, you give me that entry and exit certificate, I promise to do it properly!" Du Wenyu patted his chest and promised.

The entry and exit voucher of the City Lord's Mansion, Xuan Mingyuan naturally put it close to his chest, but this symbolizes that the feeling of transcendent status and identity is not only bad, but also has a hot potato meaning.

After determining that Du Wenyu was going to take over, Xuan Mingyuan immediately took out this entry and exit voucher from his chest tremblingly, and declared that he was a little tired, and quickly collapsed on the bed to rest.

After taking this somewhat cool so-called access certificate, Du Wenyu immediately looked at it carefully.

This access voucher is pale cyan and hard, it should be made of alloy, and there is also a little wind energy stone mixed with it, because Du Wenyu senses the faint fluctuation of the wind element, which is why it is cool.

It is said that it is an entry and exit certificate, this is just a more popular name, because it is engraved with three big characters of "Storm House", and the lower right position, engraved with a small word - "Ling", surrounded by some small tornado patterns, each pattern is exactly the same, the size is exactly the same, it seems, the surrounding pattern is the anti-counterfeiting mark of the token.

Presumably, the function of this token, which is extremely difficult to imitate, is the entry and exit certificate, so it is called this.

It's just a small entry and exit certificate, and you can see the exquisiteness and sophistication in it, and you can imagine how powerful the Storm Family is.

Just as Du Wenyu sighed, a fierce voice suddenly came: "You can take this entry and exit voucher tomorrow to see the city lord - Hurricane!"

"Now that it is only a short time before the talent awakens, do you think it is necessary to participate in the black match at this time?" Du Wenyu asked puzzled.

Li Lie explained in an affirmative tone: "Of course, if you go to participate in the underground black match, then the Flame Family will focus on you, at least your family will not be harmed, and if you are lucky enough to be protected by the city lord, then, not only you, but even your family will be safe." Don't you think that's a good idea?"

Du Wenyu was a little unconvinced, and asked rhetorically, "But why would the city lord protect me?"

Li Lie proposed: "Black Match, as long as your performance in the Black Race can bring enough benefits to the City Lord, then 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 lord, it can only be regarded as a gesture. So don't be afraid, you go to meet Hurricane tomorrow morning, and the answer will be clear. ”

"Okay, then I'll try it tomorrow!" Du Wenyu agreed.

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 fight against the teenager in an unfinished battle, wanting to work hard to improve his strength in combat skills.

The purple sun had not yet risen above the horizon, but the sky was already bright.

Du Wenyu, who had been cultivating all night, left a note before Fu Xue and Xuan Mingyuan got up, planning to go to the Storm Family Mansion alone to see the city lord Hurricane Xuan.

I've never been to the Storm Family Mansion, but it's actually not hard to find at all, as it's right in the middle of Storm City, behind the center of the arena.

As soon as he came to the back door of the center of the arena, Du Wenyu saw the majestic independent gate of the Storm Family Mansion from a distance, as well as the two dutiful guards.

As he walked, Du Wenyu looked at the guards standing majestically on both sides of the gate, and said in his heart: "Tsk, it is said that even the Storm Family guarding the door is a cultivator with the title of Transfiguration Master. ”

Although the two guards were motionless as if they were in a state of flux, their majestic posture was intimidating.

Du Wenyu didn't care, and walked straight towards the gate.

"Stop, what's the matter with you?" one of the guards stepped forward and stopped Du Wenyu's path.

Du Wenyu stopped, explained his intention, and said, "I'm looking for the city lord." ”

After finishing speaking, Du Wenyu took out the entry and exit vouchers.

"Please come in!" The guard took a step back, and without even asking the reason, he let him go.

The other guard waved his arm, and cyan smoke gathered in his palm, and a whirlwind sent out into the air.

After completing this series of things, the two guards were settled again.

Du Wenyu walked into the door as he wondered in his heart: "Hey, this wind energy element is not used for attack, so what should be the real effect?"

Just walked to the closed entrance door, and when Du Wenyu was about to knock on the door, two doors opened in response.

An old man looked at Du Wenyu with a kind smile and invited: "Hey, I'm the steward of the Storm Family-Flutter Hua, please follow me!"

"Hello Hua Lao!" Du Wenyu nodded and greeted politely.

The energetic Qihua turned around, put his hands behind his back, turned his head to Du Wenyu and smiled: "Alas, there are really not many young people who are so polite now. ”

Du Wenyu didn't speak, but laughed dryly.

The steward of the city lord's house personally opened the door for himself, and also led himself to the palace, what is this minimum greeting and politeness?

Stepping onto the road paved with rain stones, Du Wenyu observed the layout of the surrounding environment with great interest.

This kind of more common rain flower stone is not even an ordinary energy stone at all, and it does not reflect any preciousness and rarity, 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 do not seem to be very luxurious and rich.

......

Now the indoor temperature is 36 degrees, which is the peak period of electricity consumption, the voltage is extremely unstable, and 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 have been too many twists and turns this summer, and I wish you all good luck and good health.
