Casting spells

Those above the Sita level are eligible to become lords, while those below the Sita level can only become knights who swear allegiance to the lord at most.

Judging by the energy that surrounds your body, you've just crossed the Theta class and are fully qualified to be a lord even without alchemy.

I have to say, this surprised me.Although the underground world has never lacked talented young experts, most of them either come from ancient families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, or are elites carefully cultivated by certain organizations.

But you are different. You suddenly appeared alone in a lonely alley in New York Harbor, with no understanding of the rules of the underground world.

I'm curious, where exactly do you come from, and where did you get your knowledge and power? "

Accompanied by one question after another that pointed to the core, the old man with eyes shining with wisdom approached Zhang Cheng to a corner.

Perhaps he has lost most of his strength by now, but Jean is still a formidable opponent.

"So, I am now qualified to be a lord, right?" Zhang Cheng changed the topic very cleverly.

He is not an idiot, knowing that lying is definitely the most stupid behavior now, so he simply chooses to avoid answering.

"Hahahaha! Sly guy! Well, since you don't want to reveal your background, I won't force you, but as the beginning of a friendly negotiation, you have to come up with something to express your sincerity, right?" Miles said Spreading his hands with a smile.

In fact, from the very beginning, he didn't intend to find out the origin of the other party, he just wanted to increase his chips in this way.

Zhang Cheng secretly scolded the old fox, opened the backpack he carried with him, took out a few glass test tubes emitting a strange luster, and handed them over: "Here, I believe they should be enough to express my sincerity."

Miles, who had given alchemy all his life first, hurriedly struggled to get up and took the magic potion, opened the stopper and took a sip one by one. His eyes brightened a bit with each sip, and finally he praised without hesitation: " Perfect! No impurities! No pollution! Pure like an alchemy stone! How on earth did you do it? Damn it! If I wasn’t about to die, I would definitely find a way to ask you about the principle of this alchemy technique .”

"Calm down, Mr. Congressman, I don't want to see you die prematurely because of emotional agitation. Now, you can tell me why you want to meet me at this time? Or what do you want to exchange with me for the knowledge you have? "Zhang Cheng pointed out the topic straightforwardly.

"Don't worry, young man, don't worry, I won't die for a while, we have enough time. First of all, you have to tell me, what is the relationship between you and the witch Catherine? Are you going to have sex with her?" Have you passed the bed? If the answer is yes, then the following conversation can be terminated. No one knows her and her power better than me. When a man falls into the desire trap woven by her, it is absolutely impossible to get out. "Myers hinted meaningfully.

"Who do you think I am? A beast dominated by low-level desires? No, I assure you, the relationship between us can only be regarded as taking what we need and using each other."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng walked to the window and admired a stone statue placed among many plants.

Ordinary people may think that this is just an ordinary artwork and sculpture, but he feels strong magical fluctuations from it.That said, the statue is an extremely powerful magical item...

Chapter 264 The Secret

"Oh? This is really big news! Catherine was able to resist not attacking you!" Miles stroked the messy beard on his chin, with an unconcealable surprise on his face.

Because in his impression, the Witch of Desire has always been an ambitious woman, especially for young people with potential and value, she has always been based on the principle that she would rather kill by mistake than let it go, and use her amazing Charm captures the opponent, and then makes the pieces in your hand play a role at the critical moment as needed.

Since he has never seen Catherine's true strength, Zhang Cheng still can't understand why so many people have an indescribable fear and vigilance when mentioning this beautiful woman. Kane was like this before, and Miles is now That's right.

Could it be that these old guys have been played by witches severely, so they left an indelible psychological shadow?

When he thought of the picture of some old guys kneeling on the ground and licking Catherine's toes, he couldn't help laughing, but it didn't show on his face, he just raised the corners of his mouth and joked in a nonchalant tone: "Dear Mr. , please don't compare me with those idiots who only think with the lower body. It is true that desire is a powerful force, especially men's strong desire to possess and conquer women, which has almost run through human history, several times It even triggered a tragic war. But it doesn't mean it can't be controlled, at least for people like me, no matter how beautiful a woman is, it's more attractive than knowledge."

"Desire to control? Are you sure you are not joking? Young man, the reason why you can say such a thing must be because you have never experienced the scene where Catherine releases her full power. I promise, you will understand what I mean when you experience it. Remember, never overestimate your own control, or you will suffer a lot." Miles warned in the tone of a person who came over.

"No, you are wrong. I never overestimate myself, and I never underestimate the enemy. On the contrary, you seem a little too cautious, and you can even be said to be weak. The lords of the entire Brooklyn area have not waited for you to die, It has already begun to fall into incompatible battles. If I were you, I would definitely teach them all an impressive lesson at the last moment of their lives, and let everyone understand that some authorities should never be offended." Zhang Cheng never politely retorted.

"Hahahaha! Sure enough, I am young and energetic! Well, I admit that my mentality is old, and I can no longer be as decisive as I was when I was young. But do you think that everything that is happening now is my responsibility?" Myers said He shook his head with a smile and asked back.

As his life was about to come to an end, he had long since disdained to argue about anything, and he didn't care what others thought of him. The only thing he wanted to do was to deal with things after death.

"Is there someone else stirring up the situation in the dark?" Zhang Cheng frowned subconsciously as if thinking of something.

As an intruder, he only knows that the lords of Brooklyn are currently divided into two camps, one of which is headed by Catherine, the Witch of Desire, and the other is Cassandra, the Daughter of Nature. No one knows why the two are feuding , Why do you have to kill the other party.

Miles understood the confusion in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and explained calmly: "Of course someone is stirring up the situation! Long before I became a congressman, there was a legend about blood and revenge in New York. Guess who is the protagonist of this legend?"

"Who?" A curious expression appeared on Zhang Cheng's face.

Miles took a deep breath, as if caught in some kind of memory, and described in a deep voice: "Her name is Selma, and she was the first batch of witches who followed the Dutch to the New World.

In [-], as an exile, she established the prototype of the North American Parliament on this land.

It is said that everything was so beautiful in the beginning, and many residents of the underground world who fled from Europe joined in one after another, and even cooperated with the local Indian priests in a friendly manner.

But later, due to unknown reasons, fierce conflicts broke out between the European colonists and the Indians, and the residents of the underground world hidden among ordinary people also involuntarily participated in it.

Some of them believed that they should use their power to eliminate the Indians and let the Europeans become the masters of this land, while others believed that the misunderstanding between them should be eliminated and the situation of mutual non-aggression should be restored.

Unfortunately, Selma falls into the latter category.

Due to the racial supremacy and colonial ideas that swept across Europe at that time, few people were willing to support her, and most of them were more willing to support war with the Indians.

As a result, an ambitious person saw an opportunity to seize power, secretly planned a perfect murder, killed all those who supported peace, including Selma, and then resolutely launched a war with the Indians for hundreds of years war.

This careerist is none other than the second leader of the North American Parliament, Rudolf Marcus, known as the Death Scythe.

Today, his descendants still occupy a very important position in Parliament.

Of course, you might ask, what does this story of intrigue and betrayal have to do with blood and revenge?

The answer is simple. Before she died, Selma used her last ability to cast a vicious curse. The content was that her descendants would return one day to take terrible revenge on the original betrayer.

Any descendants who have participated in that murder will die a painful death in this revenge.

About 200 years ago, during the American Revolutionary War, a woman who claimed to be a descendant of Selma brazenly launched a war in the underground world.

No one knows where she came from, nor where she recruited many powerful men. In short, in that war, the parliament lost nearly half of its lords and members, and it was difficult to suppress the rebellion Go down, and at the same time, his vitality will be greatly injured.

But before she died, she also swore a poisonous oath, claiming that it would not be long before Thelma's descendants would rise again until the curse was fulfilled.

For so many years, the parliament has never given up on tracing the whereabouts of Selma's descendants, but in the end they found nothing.

Just a few months ago, I suddenly received an anonymous letter, with only one sentence in it, the revenge of blood has begun..."

"So you think that the chaos in Brooklyn is not because you are about to die, but because Thelma's descendants are back?" Zhang Cheng asked with bright eyes.

No one is more eager to usher in a war and killing than him!

After all, the more chaotic the situation was, the more he could see how deep the water in the underground world was, and the more knowledge and power he could gain from it.

Miles obviously didn't know that the young man standing in front of him had such dangerous thoughts, so he nodded with a wry smile: "I think so! Maybe her descendant is a certain lord in Brooklyn, waiting in secret A chance, a chance to seize power and break into Parliament..."

Chapter 265 Contract

"Interesting, very interesting. If I'm not mistaken, you must have not told the parliament about this, right?" Zhang Cheng asked with a half-smile.

Obviously, he could tell from the almost ambiguous attitude of the other party that the old man was using a concealed method to achieve the goal of not offending anyone.

Miles didn't try to deny anything, and replied very seriously: "Yes! Why should I tell the parliament about this matter? They can neither prolong my life nor protect my family. If I expose this matter Get out, the descendants of Selma will not spare my family, so I let the chaos in Brooklyn. Now you understand what the real danger is? It's not the two women fighting each other on the surface, It's a black hand hiding in the dark to stir up the situation."

Zhang Cheng nodded in agreement: "Yes, this matter is indeed of no benefit to you, but it is different to me. Believe me, if I provide such an important news to the parliament, they will definitely come up with generous rewards." Reward. But I still can't figure it out, why did you choose me?"

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal, so he won't believe that there are such bullshits as hitting friends at first sight, or appreciating talents.
