Chapter 405 - Chapter 405: Chapter 405: The Old Town Master (2/2)
By the look of the city master, he seemed to crave the shredded pork with garlic sauce; however, due to his status, he could only speak such stern words.
Chen Yu didn’t bother with all that and went straight into the nearby kitchen.
At the same time, he had the system overlay the entire loft.
Aside from being a bit cleaner, there wasn’t anything unusual about the place.
It was just in a corner of the storeroom where several boxes of gold were stacked.
Chen Yu quickly prepared a plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce and brought it up, then, as if he were at home, casually grabbed a chair and sat down.
The old man couldn’t help frowning; he hadn’t expected Chen Yu to be so presumptuous.
But he didn’t fuss over it much, after all, a plate of delicious shredded pork with garlic sauce was before him, and he had to take a few bites first.
As soon as he put a piece of meat in his mouth, the old man’s pores opened instantly and his cloudy eyes became clear.
“This is delicious. To eat something so tasty in this confined place is indeed a life well-lived.”
Chen Yu lay on the table, drawing circles with one hand by his side.
“City master, I haven’t been in the Dongming Canyon for very long and I’m not very familiar with this place. Could you give me an overview?”
The city master paused, “Those who have recently come here are special individuals who received invitations and should have someone to guide them.”
Chen Yu looked up slightly, “You understand what I mean, I want to know what exactly you are in charge of as the city master?”
The city master’s body stiffened and he sighed helplessly.
“I am just a figurehead as the city master. Dongming Canyon is managed by several of the world’s top organizations working together. In the end, I’m just the security guard they employ to watch the door.”
Chen Yu nodded, took out the Token of the Knights of the Round Table, and placed it on the table.
“What exactly is the ‘item of eternal life’ being sold at this auction?”
Upon seeing the Token of the Knights of the Round Table, the city master was no longer calm; he hadn’t expected the Chen Yu before him to have such a status.
The city master hurriedly stood up and took out a map from the side.
“As you are one of the Knights of the Round Table, I must disclose everything! In fact, there is no such thing as an ‘item of eternal life’ in this world; it’s merely a life-extending elixir concocted by the Xuanqing Sect.”
Chen Yu looked at the map on the table, it was a map of the nearby desert highlighted by red circles indicating several special locations, including where he was.
The red circles were conspicuously connected by fine lines with the words “Dongming Canyon” inscribed above them.
It seemed that Dongming Canyon was not a fixed place, but a large area.
These locations combined to form Dongming Canyon.
The map also identified that aside from the aforementioned elixir, other rare items were to be auctioned.
And they were said to be items of destiny in legends.
Chen Yu’s breathing suddenly quickened; he hadn’t anticipated the existence of such a unique auction in the world.
No wonder it had attracted not only the Knights of the Round Table but also elders of various top organizations.
“Young man, do you have any other questions?”
Chen Yu finally came back to his senses, “No, but may I keep this map?”
The city master generously pushed the map toward him.
“Of course, you may.”
