New York's weather in late September is cool and dry, with peaks of no more than 24 degrees Celsius during the day and plummeting to around -8 degrees Celsius at night.

Although many young beauties still wear all kinds of sexy low-cut shirts, T-shirts, miniskirts, and hot pants for the sake of beauty, more ordinary people have changed into long-sleeved clothes early and are ready for the arrival of winter.

However, as the car slowly drove into Greenwood Cemetery, the style of painting suddenly became serious, whether it was a man or a woman, an elderly person or a child, all wearing almost uniform black dresses.

As the resting place of countless political, business, and artistic elites, it is not only beautiful, but also has a long history, and in a report that once appeared in the New York Times, New Yorkers' ideals in life are to "live on Fifth Avenue, live in Central Park, and sleep in Greenwood with my father." ”

But no one would have guessed that Greenwood Cemetery was originally established to protect the dead powerful lords and councilors from being awakened and used by evil demon worshippers or necromancers.

Later, some businessmen and politicians who served the underground world gradually learned that this cemetery was guarded by powerful supernatural powers, so they also chose to use this place as a cemetery for themselves and their family descendants.

Feeling the mysterious energy in the air around him, Zhang Cheng raised his hand to signal Polman to stop, and then pushed the car door to join the long walking procession.

Since today is the day of Congressman Myers' funeral, many residents of the New York Underworld have come, both to witness the burial of this powerful man and to inquire about the Shard World.

Because it is said that the envoy from Europe will also be present at the funeral today.

Have the blues......

Silent......

Quiescence......

The inhabitants of the Underworld, accustomed to death, were nothing like the rest of the normal people in the cemetery, they did not talk or show even the slightest hint of sadness, and simply walked down the path to the designated auditorium.

Zhang Cheng noticed that there were no crosses, no priests, no traces of any kind of religion in the hall, and only a coffin made of natural crystal.

Miles' old corpse lay quietly inside, not showing the slightest sign of decay.

Francis gently held the corner of the coffin, his eyes fixed on his master's face, as if to imprint the face firmly in the depths of his memory.

However, when he noticed that an acquaintance was approaching, he immediately raised his head and barely squeezed out a smile, touched his chest with one hand and bowed: "You are welcome to the funeral of the councilor, Mr. Zhang." ”

"It should. After all, Lord Miles left me quite a rich legacy before he left this world, didn't he?" said Zhang Cheng, glancing back at Patty, who was imprisoned in an artificial body.

This ** banshee did not hide the hatred in her heart, if it weren't for her inability to disobey her master's orders, she would 100% rush up and smash the coffin and tear the corpse inside into shredded flesh.

There are no words to describe the intense humiliation she felt at the moment!

"Hehe, she may be the last work of His Excellency before he died. Oh yes, about that statue in the intensive care unit, I've personally sent it to the basement of the old house. Francis sighed with a deep breath.

"Thank you!"

Hearing that the important magic props used by Miles during the battle had become intermediate-level belongings, Zhang Cheng's eyes instantly burst with excitement and anticipation.

You must know that according to his inference, it is not an ordinary statue, but a special armor that contains the power of earth, water, air and fire, which constitute the four basic elements of the world in ancient Greek myths and legends.

When the alchemy of this world is activated, this thing will transform into various forms according to the needs of the user, either to protect themselves or to attack the enemy, which is an out-and-out offensive and defensive magic prop.

Just as Francis was about to say something, a middle-aged man in an old 50's suit and a black top hat suddenly came up and interjected, "Good morning, gentlemen, I'm sorry to disturb you." But I would like to take the liberty of asking, you are Mr. Zhang, who applied to the council to obtain a piece of land and become a lord, right?"

"That's right! It's me, who are you?" Zhang Cheng raised his head and stared at the other party with a slight puzzlement.

"Lauren Coney, you can just call me Lauren. After voting, the three remaining members of the New York Council unanimously agreed that you are fully qualified to do so. Yes, this is a badge that symbolizes your lordship, and six knight rings to canonize you. As for the territory, it is next to the jurisdiction of Catherine, the witch of desire. ”

The man who called himself Lauren Kony didn't talk nonsense, and after clearly expressing his intentions, he directly stuffed a silver metal with a capital F and six capital K into Zhang Cheng's hand, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the other party's back gradually moving away, Zhang Cheng turned his head and asked the old man beside him, "Lauren Coney, why have I never heard of this name?

"Lauren, Lord of Shadows, is Councilor Lavern's most trusted aide and a terrifying assassin. Be vigilant, sir, for what you will face next is not just an ordinary power struggle. Francis reminded in a low voice.

"Lord of Shadows, I hope he deserves this title......" With that, Zhang Cheng threw the badge into his pocket and walked in the direction of his old acquaintance Kane.

The latter seemed to sense something, immediately stopped whispering to the person next to him, smiled and opened his arms to give him a warm hug: "It is a great pleasure to see you at this sad time, my young friend. If I'm not mistaken, you've got your lord's badge, right?"

"Yes. Just now, Lauren Coney gave me this thing. Zhang Cheng took out the badge symbolizing the lord's status and shook it gently.

To be honest, he has long been accustomed to being alone, and he is really not very interested in managing a piece of land.

What really interested him was that after becoming a lord, he would be able to obtain a lot of important information about this world, and he would also be able to participate in the Underground World auction held at the end of each year.

That's right!

It's not that you have the money to participate!

Rather, only lords and councillors can participate!

The feudal hierarchy that imprisoned Europe for thousands of years in the dark Middle Ages is still completely preserved in the underworld.

Although many of the inhabitants of the Underworld have slowly integrated into modern society, the rules and regulations originally set by the council are perfect for the ruling class, and they are powerful enough to maintain their rule.

As for the revolution that has occurred from below in the world of ordinary people, it is simply impossible for it to happen in the underground world where supernatural power is in its hands.

Because the most powerful people are often at the top of the council, how can they rebel against themselves......
