Although the thirteen members of the High Council control the huge underground world of the entire North American region, and even influence government decision-making through some elites in the ordinary world, they still can't get rid of the entanglement of ** after all.

A box of twenty dragon eggs laid by the black dragon princess Onexia made them give up their original plans and instead support Zhang Cheng to become an important member of the Brooklyn District Council, a sub-council in New York.

I have to say, it's a bit ironic.

Because the attitude of the council from the very beginning, and the sudden attack of Councillor Joanna later, all prove that the council originally intended to push him out as a scapegoat.

Unfortunately, plans don't change as quickly.

Under the temptation of the dragon egg, except for Joanna, the rest of the people quickly changed their attitudes, and with Laverne's strong intervention, it finally turned into a farce of great joy for all.

From this farce, Zhang Cheng saw the weakness of the parliament and the struggle for internal power.

Obviously, these guys with terrifying supernatural powers are not the kind of old people who have no desires.

On the contrary, they are more loyal to their inner **, and once they find something they like or urgently need, they will immediately find a way to get their hands on it.

......

Sitting by the window in the luxury dining room on the upper floor of the Empire State Building, Laven gently fiddled with the foie gras on his plate, staring with playful eyes at the young man sitting across from him enjoying his meal unbridledly.

It took a full five minutes before he put down the knife and fork in his hand, lowered his voice and said tentatively, "You killed Faust and destroyed the Fragmented World, right?"

"Oh, why do you have such a terrible idea?" Zhang Cheng swallowed the delicious oysters in his mouth, and raised his eyebrows in an exaggerated manner.

"Because John is one of the few friends I can talk to. Not long ago, he told me that the other who entered the Shard remembered that he was wiped out, and that you survived intact, isn't it doubtful?" explained Lavern meaningfully.

"Another self?"

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng suddenly had a bad premonition.

It turns out he was right!

In the blink of an eye, a man with a gloomy face, looking to be around forty years old, exuding a strong smell of death, walked in from the entrance of the restaurant, sat directly down at the table, and curled the corners of his mouth in greeting: "My name is John, and there is another name called Faust." Nice to meet you, strong young man. Can you please explain how you killed the other one in the Shard World?"

"Clones, no! No! You...... You actually copied and split your own soul!" Zhang Cheng's eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Hahahaha! Great! You can see my state at a glance! It seems that you are also very skilled in necromancy. Faust laughed and clapped his palms.

"As I said, he's a real genius like Miles. In addition, just now in front of the most important council in North America, he took out a box of twenty live dragon eggs. Obviously, after the collapse of the Fragmented World, he went to a very interesting place. Lavern was straightforward about what had happened before.

You don't need to ask to know that the relationship between these two old guys is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, and it is possible that some kind of alliance has been formed in private.

"Oh, dragon eggs!" Faust said, looking surprised. "Where, give me two! I know there's a magic that makes these little ones hatch and grow quickly. ”

Lavern smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry, my friend, the dragon eggs have been sent to a safe place. If you want, come to the age auction. Trust me, their prices are bound to be ridiculously high, and you'd better have enough money on hand. ”

"Don't worry, have you forgotten that I killed an entire army of angels and ransacked the Vatican's thousands of years of accumulation. Wealth has never been an issue for me. Faust confidently poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all.

"Well, I hope you can buy the treasure you want. Now, let's talk about what's happening in the fragmented world. ”

After a few small words, Raffern once again turned the subject back, waiting for two sharp eyes, as if trying to see through the unhurried young man in front of him.

But alas, this is not the same as it used to be!

Zhang Cheng, who had experienced a crazy baptism and even killed several gods with his own hands, had long since stopped taking the underground world in his eyes, and took the initiative to take off his contact lenses, revealing the eyeball that sealed the demon of Erida.

"Well, are you satisfied with the answer?"

"What a powerful seal! What pure evil and chaos! You have imprisoned such a powerful creature in your own eyes!" Faust slammed to his feet, his eyes revealing a mixture of shock, fear, greed, and longing.

He could feel that this terrifying unidentified creature was absolutely capable of killing himself once it was released.

"I need an explanation!" Raven reminded with a frown, apparently unsavvy with magic and the like.

"It's easy! My eyes are sealed with a powerful otherworldly creature, powerful enough to kill you or this Councilor John. In the Shard World, I unleashed its power, so the other soul that Mr. John had split out died. ”

After saying these imaginative words, Zhang Cheng picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, looking at the reactions of the two old guys with interest.

Undoubtedly, this news is obviously a little uncomfortable for them, who are used to being on top and dominating everything.

After about two or three minutes, Lavern took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Well, it looks like we underestimated you." From now on, John and I will talk to you as equals. First of all, can you tell me what you're going to do next?"

"Restore order to Brooklyn, of course! Let all the inhabitants of the underworld know who is the supreme ruler of this area. Zhang Cheng sneered and pretended to be keen on power.

"What about that, don't you have a bigger goal?" Faust leaned forward slightly, narrowing his eyes in a hint.

"No, not yet. If I have some free time, I may travel around the world to see the ancient ruins and the most beautiful scenery of nature. ”

"Don't you want to dig out the secrets hidden behind this world and make yourself stronger?"

"What do you mean?"

You don't know it, we live in a world where every thousand years is a fixed cycle. In the first hundred years of this cycle, many secret realms hidden by gods or ancient magical civilizations will be opened one after another. Some of them are in the depths of the jungle that is inaccessible, some are in the unknown Huangdao, some are in the icy polar regions, and some are in the depths of the endless ocean. ”

"Join us! Explore these unknown and mysterious places, find lost knowledge, and even become a god......"
