"Cerberus leather, I see......" Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

According to legend, this mountain-like beast would often wander around the River Styx, killing anyone who tried to break into the world of the dead, or who escaped from the world of the dead.

In short, this most famous dog is not afraid of the erosion of the Styx waters, even jumping in for a bath, so it's not too unusual for its skin to be able to load and control the waters of the Styx.

It's just that he doesn't understand that since the wizard who made this thing in the first place had the power to approach the corpse of Cerberus, he must have been a very powerful existence at that time, but why was there no record in the history of the underground world?

Although the Council was officially established after the Black Death ravaged Europe, it was not a mess before, and the wizards of the past had established a very loose alliance to deal with the threats of hell and heaven, and at the same time to record the progress of the underworld after the end of the Great War in the ancient times, and to ensure that some precious materials and hole cards would not be lost.

But from the dark Middle Ages that hung over humanity, it was clear that this organization was not doing a good job.

As a self-serving demon, Borune apparently doesn't care about human history unless it hides secrets that make him strong.

After a brief pause, he stared at the regenerating limbs as he triumphantly boasted, "You know, I got this treasure from the terminally ill collector just for a year of life. With its power, I've managed to take out many dangerous enemies. Humans are complex creatures, sometimes shrewd, sometimes stupid. ”

"But it belongs to me now, doesn't it?" Zhang Cheng reminded with a smile.

"Of course, you are a strong man, and the strong rule everything, which is the most basic common sense in hell. For the strong, we have always been in awe from the bottom of our hearts. What's more, you have a huge legion behind you. Maybe—we can work with each other and benefit each other, don't you think?" Borune hinted meaningfully.

Betrayal and betrayal were as simple as eating and drinking for him.

Over the course of nearly a thousand years, many of his kind have failed and died in his orchestration of intrigues.

Far from stopping this, the Great Demons are encouraging them in disguise, so that in this way they can select the best men to serve themselves.

"Hehe, you're too anxious, my friend. Before talking about this topic, answer me first, who secretly opened the back door for you, and who is eager to seize the fragmented world?" Zhang Cheng skipped the boring temptation and began to ask straightforwardly.

As the clock ticked by, he knew he had to figure out who was behind the scenes, and then use the little time he had left to do some preparations.

"John, who is one of the members of the Supreme Parliament of Europe, is also a powerful necromancer. Oh, by the way, he used another name hundreds of years ago, so you're sure you're familiar with it. Boruen didn't flicker and quickly gave an answer.

"Oh, what is it?" Zhang Cheng showed an interested expression.

Since he is concerned about the movements of the North American underworld, he does not know much about the European Parliament, and he is completely unclear about who this so-called John is.

Borune cracked his mouth open and gave a name in an extremely slow voice.

"Faust!"

"Faust?!" Zhang Cheng's pupils contracted suddenly.

If there is anyone in this world who has the deepest understanding of the power of death among mortals, except for the legendary gods of death and the gods of the underworld, it must be this necromancer named Faust.

The German writer Goethe even used him as a model to write the famous poetic drama "Faust", which was used to show the intellectual and spiritual pursuits of Europeans after the Renaissance.

However, the real Faust is not the fool who was seduced by the Demon Monarch, but the genius necromancer who passed an almost cruel trial at the age of thirteen.

But he was not satisfied with the knowledge recorded in books, and at the age of fifteen, he began to travel to all corners of the world with the Age of Discovery, whether it was the ancient and mysterious rituals of Egyptian sacrifices, or the undoubted manipulation of corpses in Africa.

By learning and drawing on this knowledge of death, he was able to crack the secret of death at the age of less than twenty-five and gain eternal life in an unknown way.

At the age of thirty, he was even able to wake up tens of millions of corpses in the cemetery in a very short time and completely control them.

Eliminate the magical plague, a that can only be created but not controlled, and only the Lich King, armed with the artifact Frostmourn and the helm of domination, can do this.

Resurrecting the dead is a very serious and delicate job.

Most necromancers need to go through a series of tedious preparations before they carefully resurrect one or two, even if the necromancer only resurrects a dozen or twenty at most, and any more cannot be controlled.

Zhang Cheng had used the power of the magical plague to transform hundreds of thousands of people from the living to the dead in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, and knew all too well how difficult it was to control undead creatures.

Don't think that low-level necromancers are very easy to control without thoughts.

On the contrary, it is precisely because of the lack of independent minds that it is more difficult to get them to obey the orders of the Creator, and in many cases the innate hatred of the living is enough to drive the necromancer insane.

Of course, that's not the scariest thing!

The most terrifying thing about Faust is that he was so arrogant that he led an army of immortals to raid the heart of Catholicism - the Vatican!

Not only did they slaughter countless bishops with powerful divine powers, but even the last angel legions stationed there were wiped out, and not even a single one escaped alive.

Some say that Faust died in that battle, others say that he was afraid of being hunted by heaven, so he changed his name and went into hiding, but in short, he disappeared shortly after this chilling attack and was never seen again.

Although Zhang Cheng had long known that the trials given by the parchment would not be too easy, he never expected that the enemy he would face in the end would be so powerful and dangerous.

Whether or not Faust is as terrible as the legend suggests, there is no doubt that he is a serious enemy for the moment.

On top of that, he had no idea what his opponent's hole cards were and what kind of spell casting power he would have.

Thinking of this, he immediately raised his head and looked at the pale yellow eyes of the Hell Demon, and said with a smile: "Dear Borun, if you don't mind, can you describe for me what you know about Faust......?
