Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 108 Corning City

"Corning."

On the train, Lin Ming muttered as he looked at the map in his hand.

For the Blacksmith Association, this place is not special. It is just that the venue is different every year, and this year it happens to be this place.

"Jinlin City."

Lin Ming slid his finger gently across the map, pointing to an area adjacent to Corning City.

There is nothing there, just a wasteland that is a paradise for demons.

But Lin Ming knew clearly that this place was Jinlin City, which was destroyed by demons fifteen years ago.

Jinlin City, a city wiped off the map. Fifteen years ago, the city was destroyed by the invasion of demons. After many years, few people remember this city anymore.

"The cooperation between Mingzhu and the Imperial Capital also took place during this period."

Lin Ming tapped his head lightly and thought.

He confirmed one thing with Bai Tingting: she would go to the capital to participate in an exchange student exchange in half a month, which meant that they would start their field training about half a month later.

"Demon System" Lin Ming thought for a moment and shook his head again: "Not worth it."

It's true that the demon type is very strong, but for him, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

He does not awaken dual elements at every stage, which is not suitable for Xuelizi. It is more likely that he will become a monster that is neither human nor ghost, rather than awakening the demon element.

Then, the only person related to him in this incident was Mo Fan. Mo Fan was a very tenacious guy, not to mention that he was the target of the demonic incident, so his life would not be in danger. At worst, after he turned into a demon, he could bring some of his spirit to see him.

Then Mingzhu's cooperation and training with the Imperial Capital has nothing to do with me, I just need to play the game with peace of mind!

Lin Ming nodded and turned his attention back to the Blacksmith Competition.

The Blacksmith Competition organized by the Chinese Blacksmith Association is held once a year. All unofficial certified blacksmith masters under the age of 45 can participate, and the top three in each session within four years will be qualified to participate in the Masters Competition.

"You still have to pass the auditions first, what a hassle." Lin Ming sighed as he looked at the competition rules in his hand.

The Blacksmith Competition is divided into two stages: one is the audition and the other is the formal competition.

The auditions seemed to be intended to prevent some people from taking advantage of the situation and trying their luck for the prizes. After all, spirit seeds were quite attractive to ordinary mages.

Of course, this has no impact on Lin Ming. At most, he will just have to stay in the hotel for a few more days.

Lin Ming put the competition rules back into the space ring and looked out the window.

The lower reaches of the Yangtze River are plains, endless plains.

It was obvious that the train had entered the city of Corning and was about to arrive at the station.

Suddenly, a firm yet somewhat ethereal voice reached Lin Ming's ears.

"Hello, are you a student at Mingzhu Academy?"

Lin Ming turned around and found that it was a woman sitting next to him who was talking to him.

Lin Ming was also stunned. This woman got on the bus later than him. She had been resting her eyes since getting on the bus. He didn't know if she fell asleep. He wanted to go out several times but didn't have the nerve to wake her up.

Does she know herself?
Lin Ming thought in his heart, but did not answer her question, but asked

"What's matter?"

"Sorry to bother you so suddenly. It's just that when I saw you just now, I realized that I seemed to have seen you in the academy before. Oh, I am also from Mingzhu Academy."

The woman was wearing a thin green shirt on her upper body. She was originally lying on the chair with her eyes closed, but she subconsciously sat up straight while speaking.

"Ha, really? Sorry, I didn't have any impression of you. Now let me introduce myself. Hello, my name is Mo Fan."

Lin Ming smiled and shyly extended his hand.

"Hello, my name is Kary Wu."

The woman stretched out her hand and shook hands with Lin Ming, saying seriously.

"Are you free later? I'm quite interested in you."

The corners of Kristy Wu's mouth were slightly raised, but it looked quite strange, as if she didn't laugh often and was forcing herself to laugh.

"Sorry, I have an appointment with a friend and he will come to pick me up." Lin Ming politely declined.

When the train arrived at the station, Lin Ming walked out of the station, looked around, and found that the woman did not follow him, so he walked towards the hotel silently.

Do you have time? Of course.

But there was something fishy about that girl at first glance. Apart from the fact that she was a student at Mingzhu Academy, it was basically certain that she was lying.

It's not vacation time yet, and I even asked Professor Bai for leave to come out for the competition. Of course, it's also possible that I'm skipping classes. After all, there are people in college who skip classes to travel.

But she first said that she had seen herself before, and she had no doubt that she was Mo Fan.

Mo Fan and I are both quite famous. We have ruined two consecutive beast fighting competitions. Not long ago, we were also involved in the incident of the scaly-skinned mother demon. She neither knows Mo Fan nor me, which is very problematic.

Moreover, her temperament is not like that of a student, but more like
Lin Ming followed the crowd out of the train station, but the woman sitting next to her had arrived in front of a small house without her knowing when.

Wu Yufei gently pushed the door open, looked around, and after using her mental power to sense that there was no one around, she slowly walked in.

She took out a special mobile phone, gently pressed a button on it, and then put it to her ear.

"How's the mission going?"

A rough male voice came from the other end of the phone.

“It was done successfully.”

Kristy Wu nodded in response.

"Then you will wait for us in Corning Town and prepare the supplies for the deserted city."

"Yes! Military Control Commission!"

Kristy Wu nodded in response.

"Military Control! I have something else to report to you!"

"what?"

"Target number two is also in Corning City!"

"Target number two?"

"We just had a brief contact on the train. I'm not good at pretending, so I didn't gain their trust."

"Don't worry, we're focusing on target number one right now. If there's any problem with target number one, we'll go find target number two. You need to determine target number two's whereabouts within the next few days!"

"Yes!"

Kristy Wu nodded in response.

She hung up the phone and slowly walked to the window. Right in front of the window, she could see a magnificent hotel.

Downstairs in the hotel, a short-haired young man slowly walked into the door.

"We're finally here, but there's only one hotel in the entire commercial area, and it's ridiculously expensive. Is this a monopoly?"

Lin Ming looked at the huge sign of this hotel and shook his head.

He had booked a hotel before coming, but this was the only hotel he could choose because the Blacksmith Conference was held in this relatively prosperous area and other hotels were some distance away.

Because Corning City is close to the demon tribe, its infrastructure is not well developed and it doesn't even have a subway.

Or in the magical world, except for big cities like Magic City, most cities don’t have subways.

So most people who come to Corning stay in this hotel.

"There should be other people participating in the Blacksmith Conference staying here." Lin Ming walked into the hotel, found his room, and thought.

"But the important thing now is the woman who suddenly appeared! What went wrong with me at the military?" Lin Ming frowned slightly and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why he was involved with people at the military.

"Forget it, let's go ask." Lin Ming shook his head, turned on his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Boss Zhankong, I have something I want to ask you."
