A few minutes later, in the ship's most ornately decorated guest room, Lavern squinted his eyes and looked up and down at the forty-year-old white man standing in front of him.

After a full minute, he pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit down." Unexpectedly, that guy Virgil was willing to send his most beloved son and heir. ”

"Thank you very much! It is an honor to be received by you. The white man bent down and bowed deeply before sitting down gracefully.

It is clear that he was trained in strict manners, and his every move was as perfect as a textbook, imbued with the reserved and gentlemanly spirit that the upper class of the British aristocracy preached.

"Tell me, Anthony, what is your father's purpose in letting you come at this sensitive time?" Lavern didn't intend to go around in circles, and went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

"For two things. First, the Marcus family needs at least two dragon eggs, and I hope you can help with them, and second, I want to meet with the recently famous wizard of the East to see if I can reach some cooperation. The white man who was called Anthony didn't talk nonsense either, and quickly made his intentions clear.

After all, as a direct descendant of Rudolph Marcus of the Scythe, the second leader of the Supreme Council of North America, he had enough capital to get what he wanted through exchange and bargaining.

In fact, while the United States of America had been preaching so-called "freedom", "equality" and "democracy" externally, it had in fact pursued a strict hierarchy internally.

No matter how wealthy outsiders are, they cannot enter the small circles with strong barriers.

By the same token, there is a similar situation in the underworld.

Through marriage, several of the most rooted families in this land are closely united, and although it does not affect the Supreme Council, it is absolutely no problem to control the sub-council.

Lavern was undoubtedly very aware of the huge influence behind the Marcus family, and subconsciously frowned and pondered for a moment, and quickly tapped the table lightly in response: "All the members of the Supreme Council know the number of dragon eggs, and I can't help with this. But when I meet with Zhang, I can arrange it. But if I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be any female members of your family who can marry, right?"

"No, there is also an illegitimate daughter. An embarrassed smile appeared on Anthony's face.

"Oh, bastard, who's it?" said Raffern, a rare gossip expression.

Because as far as he knew, those big families often deliberately chose marriage and birth partners in order to maintain the magical talent of their offspring.

As for creatures such as illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters, they usually do not exist, and even if they are accidentally born, they will be carefully hidden, neither recognized nor known by the outside world.

"My! That was a mistake I made when I was younger, she was seventeen years old and was studying magic at the wizarding academy. Although the talent is a little unsatisfactory, it is enough for marriage. Anthony didn't try to hide anything, and happily chose to admit it.

Although this daughter makes him feel a little embarrassed, since it is going to be used for marriage, it will be exposed sooner or later, so it is better to behave a little more freely.

"Unbelievable! But it sounds like a good story, and we'll talk about this beautiful mistake next time we have time. Other than that, don't blame me for not reminding you, Zhang is not the kind of small character that is easy to manipulate. On the contrary, he has a wit and ambition that is so disproportionate to his age, and extremely dangerous, that you can never imagine what crazy decisions he would make in a critical moment. ”

As he said this, Lafern's tone was full of seriousness and warning.

"Rest assured. You should know that the Marcus family has always pursued a strategy that will never easily offend any of the rising stars. If nothing else, I'll take my leave, and this time we owe you a favor. Anthony got up and took his leave.

But before he could bow and salute, Raffone interrupted, "Wait! I happen to need your help with something here." ”

"Sure!" Anthony paused, then nodded without hesitation.

"I have here a stone tablet enshrined in the temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea, in ancient Greek times, which is said to record the location of the sinking of Atlantis, and your family seems to have a lot of people who are proficient in this area, help me translate it. As he spoke, Raffone pulled out an ancient stone tablet engraved with strange words and symbols from the lockbox beside him.

Due to the long-term baptism of time, most of the handwriting on the surface has been blurred, and only the portrait of Poseidon holding a trident in the middle position is still vivid.

"This ...... It's !!!!!" Anthony's eyes widened in shock, apparently recognizing the origin of the slate.

"That's right! it's the suicide note of the last Atlantean survivor in legend before he died. Don't ask me where I got it, I won't tell you. And don't try to covet it, because you and your family can't afford it. ”

"I understand! But it would take a long time to translate something so old. ”

"Don't worry, I have time. ”

......

Just as Anthony stepped off the deck of the cruise ship, an old man with gray hair and beard was looking through the information sent by his men in the headmaster's office of the Magical Secret Realm, the location of the Wizarding Academy.

After about two or three minutes, he lifted his glasses and asked, "Are you sure this Oriental has a magical system that we don't understand?"

"Yes, Grand Wizard. I've been observing for a long time, and the magic runes and spells he uses are completely different from ours. And not long ago, he cut off Brenda's arm in a conflict, and he couldn't see the movement at all, and the whole process seemed to be done all of a sudden. Venus explained unhurriedly.

Since experiencing Zhang Cheng's terrifying abilities firsthand, she took the initiative to come to this place where she once studied and lived, wanting to use the power of the Wizarding Association to solve the mysteries.

"What do you mean - teleportation?" the old man, known as the Grand Wizard, looked up, his wrinkled face revealing a hint of curiosity.

"No! it's not just teleportation! it's more like ...... It's more like ......" Venus desperately searched his brain to find an accurate adjective.

But before she could find it, the archwizard smiled and added, "It's more like time has stopped, right?"

Venus's eyes lit up when he heard the word, and he nodded desperately: "Yes! Time stopped! It was as if he had manipulated time! Cut off Brenda's arm when everyone was unable to move! Do you think this power or magic really exists?"

"I don't know, at least I haven't seen it. Perhaps, I should take a trip to New York and meet this young man from the mysterious East......"
