Casting spells

"Hahahaha! Nice to meet you, ma'am."

"Hehe, nice to meet you too, interesting young man."

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and laughed at the same time.

After the two parties were seated, Anthea pointed to the two steaming teapots on the table and asked, "Black tea or coffee?"

"Black tea, thank you." Zhang Cheng chose tea without thinking.

Since he didn't see any sugar cubes, he didn't want to try whether he could stand the original bitter coffee, maybe he couldn't help but spit it out after just a sip.

"Good choice! I also prefer tea to coffee with a strong taste. It can keep my mood calm. This is very important for divination. A prophet who can't keep calm can't spy What will happen in the future." As she spoke, Anthea picked up the pot and poured four cups of tea.

Keep one of the cups for yourself, and push the rest to the three guests.

Zhang Cheng picked it up and took a small sip, then put down the teacup, and put a sealed test tube emitting yellow shimmer on the table.

Anthea rolled her normal eye, and asked without raising her head while drinking tea, "What is this? Is it a new potion you refined?"

"Yes! It is an enhanced version of the Wisdom Elixir. Because of the limited raw materials and the very complicated production process, I have only made three bottles so far. This is one of them. Please don't say anything, drink it and feel its power effect, and then we will talk about the conditions."

In fact, what Zhang Cheng took out was not other potions, but the "Potent Wisdom Potion", which can provide players with up to 25 points of intelligence in the game, but due to conflicts with arcane wisdom, few people care about it.

But in reality, the two are completely different systems, one is a potion of alchemy, and the other is a buff spell that can be continuously blessed.

Every Dalaran mage is eager to drink a bottle of powerful wisdom potion when he is engaged in study and research, and he is no exception.

In fact, these three bottles were not prepared by Zhang Cheng himself at all, but bought at a high price. Today, he intends to use this as a stepping stone to knock on the door to power and power.

"Since you're so confident, I'll try it first." Anthea didn't say any nonsense, she just pulled the stopper and downed the yellow-green liquid in one go.

Before half a minute had passed, she suddenly felt a magical power pouring into her brain!

All of a sudden, both senses and thinking are multiplied, and the whole world seems to be put under a microscope...

Chapter 273 Second Warning

"Hmm... this feeling... unbelievable!" Anthea stood up and opened her arms as if to embrace the world again.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this magnification of senses and thinking is just a strong stimulation that cannot be described in words, and even some addicts will think that they are high again.

But for her, going can feel the passage of time more clearly, and the traces left on certain things by the years.

Through these traces, she can use the power of spells to spy on the past and predict the future. Every bit of clarity means a significant increase in accuracy, and the importance is self-evident.

Zhang Cheng, who had always sneered at prophecy spells, naturally did not understand the witch's state at the moment. He took out two other bottles and put them on the table with a smile: "Ma'am, I think you have realized its effect, now we can come Let's talk about the conditions. Besides the bottle you just drank, I have two more here, please make an offer."

"Use one portion as bait, and then sell the remaining two at a high price. You are a clever and cunning guy. Tell me, what do you want from me?" Anthea returned to her seat and picked up her teacup again , tentatively said with a smile.

Due to the "powerful potion of wisdom", her brain was operating at an unprecedented high speed, and she could easily see through this trick.

"It's very simple, I want three things. First, I hope you can support me to become a lord and obtain a rich territory. Second, I want to meet several other members of the New York Parliament. I arrange it, right? Third, I heard that you know many politicians and business elites, if you don't mind, can you share them with me too?" Zhang Cheng put forward his own conditions unceremoniously.

Anthea hesitated obviously, and nodded reluctantly after about half a minute: "Yes! Regarding the first item, I can do it.

Because whether it is power or alchemy, which only a few people can master, it is enough to support you to become a lord. After more than ten years of qualifications, it is not difficult to become a member of the secondary council.

The second is even simpler. According to the usual practice, when a congressman dies, several other congressmen will appear at his funeral. You only need to attend Myers' funeral.

But I don't quite understand the last point, do you want to maintain a dual identity like me?

You know it's not an easy thing to do, I've seen quite a few ambitious guys who want to make a difference in the underground world but are unwilling to give up their status in ordinary society, and the end result is often screwed up on both sides Even the broken family and family relationship can only be maintained by one lie after another.

However, your identity is false, and it seems that you don't have any troubles in this area for the time being. As long as you get rid of the "mother" in name, you don't need to worry about family issues at all. "

"Dispose of it? No, no, no, how can you have such a terrible idea. Not only do I want to maintain the identity of an ordinary person, but I also want to keep this single-parent family, because it is a near-perfect disguise, and it is also a bait. Think about it Look, if you show that you really care about this mother and obey her words, what will those guys who don't know the truth think? They will think that I care about this family, the so-called family relationship, in short, I care about something... "

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng deliberately paused, with an undisguised sarcasm on his face.

Tracy and Polman sitting next to him felt chills all over their bodies when they heard it. Even with steaming black tea in their hands, they couldn't feel any warmth.

In contrast, the well-informed Anthea was much calmer. After putting down the empty teacup in her hand, she looked at the young man sitting opposite her with great interest.

After a full minute, she sighed softly: "Dear Zhang, although we only met today for the first time, you scare me a little. Do you know that there are many crazy guys in this world, Most of them just disregard the rules and like to vent and destroy as they please, but there are very few rational lunatics who will make careful plans in advance and achieve crazy goals step by step according to the plan. In my opinion, after The latter is far more dangerous than the former, and you give me the feeling that it belongs to the latter. Maybe on the surface it looks normal, sensible, and knows how to compromise and give in, but there is a terrifying monster lurking in the subconscious.”

"You think I'm mentally abnormal?" Zhang Cheng frowned subconsciously.

"No, what I mean is that you have been suppressing certain emotions. When it explodes, your personality is likely to undergo some unpredictable changes. Personally, I suggest you, it is best to find an outlet for yourself, you can It could be sex, it could be alcohol or something else, but don't push the nerve too hard or it will break."

After finishing speaking, Anthea grabbed two bottles of "Potent Wisdom Elixir" and carefully put them into a wooden box carved with exquisite patterns.

"Well, I'll try to relax. Thank you for your offer. Goodbye, ma'am. I have another meeting before midnight today, so I won't waste your precious time."

Obviously, this is not the first time Zhang Cheng has heard similar warnings. Demon Sword gave similar advice not long ago, but he himself did not realize that there was any problem with his mental state, so he did not intend to continue arguing.

Watching the group of three get up and disappear at the end of the corridor, Anthea immediately raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

moment!

A cloud of black smoke appeared out of thin air and slowly gathered into a mysterious man in a black cloak.

I saw him knelt on one knee, and made a sharp sound of fingernails scratching on the blackboard: "Dear son of prophecy, caretaker of time and destiny, what is your order for summoning me?"

"Go, follow the young wizard just now. If his life is in danger, shoot him. If not, observe secretly. Remember, don't conflict with anyone. I believe there will be many eyeliners sent by old friends around him." Anxi Ya held her chin, put her two feet without socks on the table, and lazily gave the order.

Her eye, which was only left with white eyeballs, has completely turned into pure black at this moment, and it is still emitting mysterious energy.

"Understood, I will handle this matter well, please don't forget to prepare the reward, otherwise you know how serious the consequences will be."

The voice just fell!

The man in the black cloak dissipated into the air again as a cloud of black smoke, without leaving even the slightest trace, as if he had never appeared before.

At the same time, Anthea's eyes also changed from black back to their original white.

Looking at her own reflection in thousands of mirrors, she suddenly burst into laughter without warning, and said to herself while laughing: "The gears of fate have finally started to turn again! I hope this time I will give up halfway... ..."

Chapter 274

Facing the cool sea breeze at night, Zhang Cheng admired the most densely populated and bustling Manhattan Island in New York through the car window, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

But when the car crossed the cross-sea bridge and entered Brooklyn, he suddenly turned his head and asked the other two people in the car without warning: "Do you think there is something wrong with my mental state?"

"Huh? What!" Tracy was obviously taken aback, not knowing how to answer.

"I mean, compared with ordinary people, is my usual reaction a bit extreme or full of violence?" Zhang Cheng explained with a deadpan expression.

On the road just now, he kept reflecting on his recent behavior, and found that he had changed a lot before he knew it.Especially when it comes to the relationship between life and death, it has completely broken the traditional moral outlook formed over the past two decades, and began to look down on ordinary people with a condescending attitude, and did not even care about the life and death of civilians.
