"Interesting, very interesting, if I'm not mistaken, you must not have told the council about it, have you?" asked Zhang Cheng with a smirk.

Obviously, he could tell from the other party's almost ambiguous attitude that this old man was adopting a concealment method to achieve the goal of not offending anyone.

Miles didn't try to deny anything, and replied very seriously, "Yes, why should I tell the council about this? They can't prolong my life, they can't protect my family, and if I get this out, Selma's descendants won't let my family go, so I let the chaos in Brooklyn go." Now you understand what the real danger is, right? It's not the two women who stand on the surface fighting each other, it's the black hand that hides in the shadows and stirs up the situation. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded approvingly: "That's right, this matter is indeed not good for you, but it is different for me." Trust me to provide such important news to the council, and they will be rewarded handsomely. But I'm still a little confused, why did you choose me?"

is the so-called nothing to be courteous or a thief, so he will not believe that there is such a set of bullshit as it is at first sight, or appreciates talent and the like.

If a stranger suddenly gives you unimaginable benefits, there must be an ulterior conspiracy behind the scenes.

"Quite simply, I want to make a deal with you, a secret deal that only the two of us know about. With that, Miles used his bony arms to force his body to sit up.

"What about the content?" Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and cautiously probed.

"I'm going to give you everything related to magic, including books, notes, labs, raw materials, and all you have to do is keep my family safe. Of course, in order to ensure that you will continue to keep your promise after my death, we will have to sign a blood letter with the effect of a contract, and those who break it will be severely punished. How about it, do you agree?" the old man shuddered and took out a yellowed parchment scroll from the cabinet next to the bed.

The back of the scroll is densely engraved with dark red lines like capillaries, and whenever a light sweeps by, it emits a faint black smoke, which is a more evil thing at a glance.

Although he didn't know much about the magic of this world, Zhang Cheng still smelled a faint smell of sulfur.

There is no doubt that this is a demonic contract, and both parties need to inject a part of their souls into the contract, which is then supervised by the powerful demon lord who created the contract, and the defaulter will automatically become the target of the demon lord's hunt.

Unless one of the contracted parties is stronger than the Demon Lord, sooner or later one day they will run out of physical strength and energy in the endless chase, and their souls will be captured back to hell to be tortured for near eternity until they completely collapse.

No one wants to bear such a price!

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the scroll, Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled, and refused while laughing: "I'm sorry, Mr. Councilor, I'm going to disappoint you." I will not sign this contract, never, because it is a shackle to my freedom, and once I do, it means that I need to be with your family forever, and I will not be able to pursue the knowledge and power that I crave. Finally, thank you for the news, it gave me a sobering eye on what is happening in Brooklyn......"

As the last word fell, Zhang Cheng turned around and was about to leave the intensive care unit.

But before he could push the door open, Miles suddenly shouted, "Wait! Tell me your terms! How far can you go?"

"I, I can only promise to do my best to keep your family safe. If anyone dares to kill them, I will avenge them, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. No matter how many of your relatives the enemy kills, I will kill ten times as many people as they care about, whether they are innocent, elderly, women, or children. How about it, are you satisfied with this condition?" Zhang Cheng stopped, turned his head and showed a ruthless smile.

"Revenge ......" Miles lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded quickly. "Yes, I agree to your terms, but with one more point, if one day you master the ultimate power of alchemy, resurrecting the dead, you must resurrect me once. ”

"Resurrect the dead?!" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

You must know that when he was in the world of a song of ice and fire, he had spied on the "resurrection ritual" mastered by the priests of Rahlo.

But it turned out that this so-called resurrection had extremely strict restrictions. First of all, the corpse must be well preserved, especially the brain must not be damaged in the slightest, secondly, the time of death must not exceed three days, let alone decay maggots, otherwise the ritual will fail, and finally, and most importantly, the soul of the deceased must be near the corpse.

Strictly speaking, this is not a resurrection of the dead at all, it can only be regarded as re-injecting the soul into the body, and then repairing the damaged internal organs, blood vessels and muscles.

If the resurrected subject reaches the end of their lifespan and their physiological system can no longer function, they will die instantaneously even if they are alive.

The true resurrection should be the reconstitution of the body of the deceased, regardless of whether the body exists or not, as long as the soul and consciousness of the deceased have not dissipated.

Obviously, the resurrection caused by the old man is by no means such a low-level impostor, but a real rebirth and resurrection.

According to the knowledge and power that Zhang Cheng has at the moment, it is far from enough to come into contact with such a profound and complex magic.

But don't worry, I understand how difficult it is to resurrect the dead, so I don't give you a specific deadline, you just have to promise to make good when you can. Oh, by the way, this alchemy stone is the most precious and valuable thing I have ever made in my life, and it will help you better complete the transformation between matter and energy. Now that I'm going to die, I'll give it to you as a gift. ”

After saying this, the old man reluctantly took off a silver ring from his finger, and the ring was inlaid with a purple gem that looked very inconspicuous at first glance, but when you look closely, there is a thrilling feeling.

In particular, the dense and moving points of light inside seem to reveal some kind of unknown mystery.

Zhang Cheng came to the window with the ring, held it high to the sun, and the whole person instantly fell into an illusion of being in a deep universe, and the points of light were like countless stars, emitting colorful brilliance under the sunlight.

No words or words can describe the shock in his heart at this moment!

Seeing the other party's reaction, Miles showed a smug expression on his face, and then spread out the scroll and said in a slightly tired voice, "Young wizard, can we start signing the contract now?"

"Of course, it is my pleasure, Mr. Councillor. Zhang Cheng put away the alchemy stone and stroked his chest with one hand and saluted.

In this way, an unknown contract was signed in the intensive care unit of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York.

Apart from the two parties and the overseer, no fourth person knew what was going on......
