Casting spells

"Banks? There are banks in the underground world?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"Of course there are banks in the underground world! Please! This is the 21st century! We are not living in the dark Middle Ages hundreds of years ago!" Kane, who was in a good mood, joked casually.

If there were no more important matters, he would definitely return to his stronghold to test the power of the dagger in his hand...

Chapter 82 Elemental Emissaries

"Since there are banks, why not introduce financial services? For example, credit cards and checks, must use primitive and backward precious metals as currency? Also, what is this key? Is it used to open a certain safe?" Zhang Cheng Frowning, he asked several questions in a row that bothered him.

He really doesn't understand why the underground world is so weird. It not only retains a lot of so-called "ancient traditions" left over from thousands of years ago, but also mixes a lot of things from modern society, such as cars, airplanes, guns, and electronic products. Wait, it's kind of confusing.

Kane shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and joked with a smile: "Financial services? Do you think the underground world needs finance? Think about it, if gold dinar is not a carrier of energy, it also has the ability to collect And the value of preservation? In fact, in my eyes, the gold dinar is not so much a wealth as a symbol of strength. Deposit gold dinars in the banks of the underground world, instead of getting Instead, you have to pay the storage fee regularly, and the key in your hand is the storage certificate.”

Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense! But I still don't understand why gold must be used?"

"Hehe, because of two points. First, gold is one of the most stable elements in nature, and it hardly reacts with any energy, so it naturally becomes the most ideal energy carrier. Second, gold has always been recognized by people The precious metal with the most monetary properties, so it is completely logical to choose it. Oh, I almost forgot, you don’t know, in fact, when the parliament was first established, a silver dinar with a slightly lower value was issued , but with the increase of gold mining, it was slowly eliminated, and only a few were kept as a kind of decoration and collection."

Speaking of this, Kane took out a very old-looking pocket watch from his jacket pocket, and pointed to the dial under the crystal compartment: "See, this is a silver dinar, I bought it in 53 At that time, it was handcrafted by the best watchmaker at that time, and even blessed with a very interesting little magic.”

The voice just fell!

He lightly pressed the metal button located above the dial.

In an instant, a faint energy surged out, and it happened to hit Zhang Cheng's eyes impartially. Immediately afterwards, the mental state of the whole person began to become trance, no matter how he looked at the other party, he felt kind.

However, this state only lasted for less than five seconds, and he quickly sensed that something was wrong. With the help of his own magic power, he forcibly broke free from the control of the mysterious energy, and asked vigilantly, "What is this? Some kind of mind control magic?"

"Relax, my young friend, do you think mind control spells are so easy to spot? As mentioned, it's just a fun little magic that I used to seduce pretty girls when I was young. But Now that I'm old and don't have the energy to indulge anymore, I'll give it to you as a gift." Said, Kane took off the silver chain, and stuffed the pocket watch into Zhang Cheng's palm.

As an old guy who is good at observing and guessing other people's hearts, he knows how to quickly close the distance between two people.

Sometimes a small gift or a topic of interest to the other party can often achieve unexpected results.

"Is it charming... Interesting..." Zhang Cheng caressed the delicate golden pattern on the back of the watch case, and an imperceptible playfulness flashed in his eyes.

After a brief silence, Kane took off his hat and put it on his chest, and introduced himself in a solemn tone: "My name is Kane Courtney, the westernmost lord of Brooklyn, and an elemental messenger .Nice to meet you, young wizard."

"Element Messenger?" Zhang Cheng keenly grasped the key words.

Through Polman's introduction, he probably knows that the titles of the lords of the underground world are generally linked to their abilities.

For example, Catherine's title is the Desire Witch, and her ability is to control desires and gain power from desires; another example is Cassandra, the daughter of nature, who came from the ancient Druid sect and is good at manipulating plants and beasts. Once in the forest, few are her opponents.

"Yes, the element messenger." Kane nodded, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

In an instant!

A bright flame burst out from between the fingers, sending out a billowing heat wave!

Immediately afterwards, he put down his hat and crutches, raised his right hand and created a crystal clear ice flower out of thin air!

Ice and Fire!

Two completely different forms of energy expression are completed in one person's hands.

Just when Zhang Chengzhen was about to say something, the old man's hands suddenly began to turn black and hard at a speed of several pieces, and finally formed a hard structure similar to obsidian.

After the transformation of both hands was completed, Kane took a deep breath and described: "Element Messenger, as the name suggests, is to manipulate the power of elements. I can create and control flames, frost, and even touch things including myself. Everything turned into stone. But there is a premise, I must consume a medium, and this medium can only be produced by alchemy."

"So you want me to help you create this medium?" Zhang Cheng seemed to understand the other party's intention.

"That's right! But it's not easy to create this kind of medium. There are only three alchemists in North America who have mastered the corresponding skills. One of them is Senator Miles. Unfortunately, he is about to die, and the other two I'm not familiar with it, so I just need to come to you and try it." Kane didn't hide his purpose, and said it openly.

Anyway, the lords of the underground world have known this for a long time, and it doesn't matter if a few more people know it.

Zhang Cheng smiled and responded straightforwardly: "Sample, I need a sample for research, and what benefits I can get from it."

"Hahahaha! You are very direct! No beating around the bush! No hidden hints! I like this way of talking!" Kane laughed and carefully took out the small box carved out of crystal.

He opened the lid of the box, dug out a small spoonful of five-color transparent gravel and poured it into an empty test tube bottle, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but due to out of stock, I can only give you a little for research, and I promise that if you If you can successfully create it, then I will be your most loyal ally. As long as it is not beyond my ability, no matter what you want to do or who you want to kill, I will support you unconditionally."

"Okay! Deal!" Zhang Cheng agreed without thinking.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this transaction has neither huge profits nor any powerful magic items, but in his eyes, the value of the previous two is dozens of times higher...

Chapter 83 Advice

"Then I'll wait for your good news! This is my phone number. If there is any progress, or if you need help, please call. Maybe I am not as powerful as Catherine, but I have a little energy." Kane bowed politely, passed a small note by the way, then grabbed his cane and planned to turn around and leave.

For him, the biggest purpose of this trip has been completed, and what is needed next is to wait patiently.

After all, without a recipe, it would definitely not be easy to figure out how to make a medium. It would take a month or two, or even a year, conservatively.

As a smart person, he would not choose to hang himself on a tree, but planned to take the opportunity to try to contact the other two alchemists.

But before he opened the door, Zhang Cheng suddenly asked without thinking: "What's your relationship with the witch? Are you an ally?"

Kane stopped in his tracks, with a strange expression on his face, and it took a full minute before he answered with a wry smile: "Allies? That's right. To tell you the truth, I used to talk to Catherine when I was young, to be more precise, she The body had a wonderful time, until she revealed her evil nature. A little advice to you, always be careful with Catherine, she is far more complicated, more dangerous, and more mercurial than you think."

"Women are fickle, aren't they?" Zhang Cheng deliberately pretended not to understand and shrugged his shoulders.

"No, no, no, please believe me, Catherine is definitely different from normal women, at least most normal women will never treat their offspring as consumables." Kane hinted with a sneer.

"Consumables?" Zhang Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling when he heard this word.

"That's right! Consumables! You know that Catherine's real age is over 270 years old, but why does she still look so young and beautiful, exuding a charm that men can't refuse at any time? The reason is very simple. Every time she Every 40 to [-] years or so, the body will be replaced, and the owner of the body is her biological daughter or granddaughter." Kane said the chilling truth with a deadpan expression.

Zhang Cheng was undoubtedly stunned by the news, and he stood there for a long time without recovering.

Change body?

Sacrifice your offspring?

Either one sounds wicked as hell!

He couldn't believe that the witch who gave him shelter when he needed it the most was so cruel.

Kane obviously noticed Zhang Cheng's reaction, and continued to whisper: "Maybe you still don't believe my words, it doesn't matter. Calculate the time, Catherine will almost change her body, and then you will see her true face .Oh, and by the way, until she completes the body replacement, you'd better watch out for every young girl who approaches you..."

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple! Catherine is a desire witch, who can manipulate or even control a person's desire. And she has a very bad habit, that is, she likes to impregnate the owner of the body first, and then when she is six to eight months pregnant, through A ritual completes the body replacement, followed by the use of the powerful force that erupts when a woman gives birth to eradicate an enemy who threatens him the most."

When Kane said these words, his hands were tightly clutching the crutches, and his eyes burst out with flames called anger.

Such a drastic emotional change naturally couldn't escape Zhang Cheng's eyes.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he quickly tried in an uncertain tone: "You mean, she will let her offspring come to seduce me?"
