Casting spells

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the heavy book placed on the table, wiped off the thick dust on the cover, and then opened the first page.

Driven by curiosity, Zhang Cheng glanced at it, only to find that it was not English, but Latin, which was almost eliminated by the world, or ancient Latin to be precise.

As for the content...

Unfortunately, he didn't even know a single word, let alone read it.

Kars undoubtedly noticed this, and explained with a smile: "This is a rather old book, which records in detail the underground world before and after the birth of the Parliament. Because its author is a man who has lived for nearly 800 years. A powerful wizard, so it is in ancient Latin. If you plan to read the entire article, it is best to ask Polman to intercept the memory from someone who can speak ancient Latin, and then transfer it to yourself. Today I am only giving a rough explanation Just once, you have a general impression."

"Please start, I'm already a little impatient." Zhang Cheng sat down on the sofa, with strong anticipation in his eyes.

Kars nodded meaningfully: "Okay, let's start then. Just skip the part before the establishment of the parliament. That period was too dark, bloody, full of disorder and violence, but all of this is in one or three Fifty-four is over.

Because at the end of the year, the author of this book, the great wizard Willie Augustus, together with his friends, successfully killed the creator and spreader of the Black Death - Taman, and Uproot the evil sect he founded.

In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, he offered to set up an organization to restrain all those who possess supernatural power, or monsters in human skin.

Due to the huge impact of the Black Death on the whole of Europe, many individuals and forces chose to join, and this organization was the embryonic form of the Parliament.

After hundreds of years of evolution and expansion, the jurisdiction of the Parliament now covers the entire Americas, Europe, Oceania, and Central Asia. At the same time, it has also signed agreements with local forces in other regions to ensure that the underground world will never be discovered by ordinary people.

Of course, due to the rapid expansion, the current parliament has actually split into several parts, and New York, where we are located, belongs to the North American part, mainly including Canada, the United States and Mexico.

In this area, there is a supreme council, which is composed of [-] members of equal status. Not only do they have powerful and terrifying personal strength, but they also manage hundreds of lords in the jurisdiction.

In addition to the Supreme Council, there will also be sub-parliaments set up in some more important areas, for example, there is one in an international metropolis like New York.

The sub-parliament usually selects the strongest and most capable people as members according to the rules of the war game according to the administrative region, and assists the supreme council in handling daily affairs.

To put it simply, the members of the sub-parliament are basically equivalent to the backup members of the supreme council. If the former's life span is exhausted or he dies in an accident, he will be selected from the latter by voting.

My master, Ms. Catherine, the Witch of Desire, is currently a lord of the Brooklyn district of New York. Any supernatural power living in the jurisdiction must unconditionally obey the rules set by her, otherwise they will be punished and expelled. "

"Parliament...Lord...sounds really interesting..." Zhang Cheng muttered to himself with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"No way, we must know that when the parliament was established, Europe was still on the edge of the dark Middle Ages, so many medieval characteristics have been preserved, such as the title of lord, and the legislative power in the territory." Kars said helplessly. He spread his hands and explained.

He clearly understood what "interesting" meant.

"Well, if that's the case, can you tell me about the power of the Congress? Can they control the U.S. government?" Zhang Cheng hesitated for a few seconds, but still raised the question he was most concerned about.

"Manipulate the US government? Who would do such a boring thing? I can only tell you that if the Congress thinks it is necessary, it is fully capable of influencing and changing any decision of the government. But generally speaking, the underground world is the underground world, The world of ordinary people is the world of ordinary people, we try not to interfere..."

Before Kars finished speaking, a translucent spirit body suddenly passed through the wall and appeared in the sealed room, condensing into a solid body in less than a minute.

She was none other than Catherine.

This witch had undoubtedly just taken a bath, with a faint steam emitting from the surface of her skin, and under the translucent silk nightgown, there was a seductive curve that could make a man's blood spurt.

Chapter 56 Two Worlds

"How are you, where have you been talking?" Catherine asked with a smile, and sat down next to Zhang Cheng.

She didn't seem to care at all that her naked body was exposed to the sight of the opposite sex, and she wiped her wet hair with a towel.

Kars hurriedly bowed and replied: "Ma'am, we just talked about the establishment and development of the parliament. However, Zhang has some misunderstandings in his cognition. He confuses the world of ordinary people with our world."

"Oh? Don't you think that the parliament secretly controls the government?" Catherine raised her lips slightly, and cast her eyes on the young man beside her, her eyes full of mischief.

"Why not? I saw with my own eyes today that even the agents of the FBI are members of Congress. Doesn't that explain the problem?" Zhang Cheng frowned and asked back.

In his view, no matter what kind of organization it is, what it pursues is the same, power and wealth.

If an organization can quietly control the US government, then it can obtain inexhaustible wealth from it, as well as a huge nuclear arsenal that claims to destroy human civilization hundreds of times.

But judging from the reactions of the two people in front of them, it seems that the parliament has no such plan at all, and even similar ideas do not exist.

"Pfft! Hahahaha!" Catherine couldn't hold back, and burst into laughter, and the two sizable meatballs on her chest trembled up and down.

After a while, she slowly stopped laughing, stretched out a finger to pick up Zhang Cheng's chin, and explained in a tone full of passion: "No, no, no, my cute little wizard.

Please remember that the world of ordinary people means nothing to us!

What are the benefits of parliamentary control of the government?

dollars?

I admit that for some guys who live at the bottom of the underground world, the dollar is indeed more attractive.

But for a lord like me, it's basically no different from waste paper.

As long as I am willing, I can enter the vault of any bank in the world at any time, and take away thousands of banknotes and gold bricks without anyone noticing. The legacy of the rich dead.

But unfortunately, in the underground world, things of a little value are not traded with dollars, but with it..."

As she spoke, the witch took out a golden coin from the middle of the unfathomable career line.

I saw the side face of an old man was printed on the front of this coin, and thirteen six-pointed stars were printed on the reverse, with a small hole drilled in the middle, which was threaded through a black rope and hung on it as a talisman or something like that. On the snow-white slender neck.

Zhang Cheng stroked the coin that was still warm, and quickly asked in an uncertain tone: "A gold coin? You mean... the underground world still uses primitive precious metals as currency?"

Catherine nodded slightly: "That's right! Please note that this is not an ordinary precious metal currency, but a magic gold coin minted in a special place. We call it a gold dinar. Every gold dinar Both contain a considerable degree of magical energy. Not only can it not be forged, but it can also be used to make magic items after melting. A gold coin like this can easily be exchanged for 10,000+ dollars in the underground world, but 10,000+ A dollar may not necessarily be exchanged for a gold coin."

"I see……"

After listening to the witch's explanation, Zhang Cheng finally understood why the world of ordinary people is meaningless to the underground world.

The answer is very simple. The parliament has firmly controlled everything it needs a long time ago, forming a relatively independent economic, political and monetary system. In addition, the population base is small, so there is no need to fight desperately for survival. various natural resources.

Especially for a lord with powerful supernatural power like Catherine, I am afraid that what she really pursues is power and status in the underground world. The world of ordinary people is worthless in her eyes.

After figuring this out, Zhang Cheng finally began to truly understand this world and the true meaning of the so-called "fantasy world" mentioned on the sheepskin.

Just when he was about to ask who owns the casting of the magic gold coins and what is the output, Catherine suddenly pounced on him without any warning, pressed his whole body under him, and took a deep breath with the tip of her nose against her cheek. Tone: "Ah—what an intoxicating smell! I really want to eat your delicious little snack now!"

When Kars saw this scene, his expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly reminded him sharply: "Ma'am! Please calm down! Your emotions are a little out of control!"

The voice just fell!

The witch shivered involuntarily all over her body, took a few deep breaths in a row, and her cannibalistic eyes gradually returned to normal. She left the sofa and tidied her messy bathrobe, and said in a cold tone: "Okay, today's talk Let's stop here. Kars, take him to register."

"Understood! Zhang, come with me, the lady needs to be alone for a while." Without a word, Kars grabbed Zhang Cheng and walked out.

When he left the room, he did not forget to close the door tightly. Although it was less than a minute before and after, his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

"What happened just now? I seem...seem to feel the loss of magic power?" Zhang Cheng asked, frowning.

Even though it was only for a short moment, he still felt a mysterious force draw a little magic power from his body the moment the witch inhaled.
