Fear is a power!

An extremely powerful force!

In fact, the development of mankind to the present, whether it is the ancient tribal system, slavery, feudalism, centralization, or democracy and universal suffrage that are now being promoted, in essence, rely on fear to build the most basic order and ruling structure.

The only difference is that some fears stem from life's instinctive rejection of pain and death, while others are more complex, first by establishing a series of legal systems that are beneficial to the ruling class, and then using punishment to make the people reverence the law, so as to achieve the ultimate result of defending their own interests.

But in any case, fear is at the root of it all, a nightmare rooted in the depths of everyone's subconscious.

Interestingly, creating fear requires a certain degree, if it is insufficient, it will lead to a strong sense of revenge, and if it is excessive, it will arouse a strong desire to survive, triggering large-scale revolts and riots.

As a psychic who can read other people's memories and deep thoughts at will, Zhang Cheng undoubtedly knows very well how to control the scale of others' fear of himself.

In just two weeks or so, the entire state of New York ushered in the first power reshuffle.

All the hapless people who had something to do with vampires or Brenda were purged.

More than 700 people were put to death!

And 800 vampires were publicly condemned to daylight!

After this round of cruel and merciless crackdowns, the activities of vampires in New York State have basically disappeared completely, and they almost put up a sign in front of the public, which reads: "Vampires and miscellaneous people with vampire blood are not allowed to enter, or they will be killed." ”

No one knew that there were more than four hundred and fifty people who were willing to abandon everything and let their bodies and souls embrace the shadows and completely surrender to the feet of the succubus Renes, becoming the first shadow magicians in this world.

Of course, this kind of bloody slaughter targeting one race still caused quite a stir in the underground world.

In particular, vampire families in other parts of North America have expressed their concern in the Legislature, fearing that they too have been innocently implicated.

In order to address this growing panic in the underworld, Cosmo had no choice but to use his power as speaker to notify all parliamentarians to call an emergency meeting.

With thirteen candles lit in turn, the thirteen members of the Supreme Council of North America gathered again and sat in their own seats.

It's just that this time, Zhang Cheng was not the target of summons and questioning, but became one of them.

Glancing at the playful or nonchaltical eyes of the "colleagues" around him, he understood what today's topic was, and laughed at himself: "It seems that I've been playing a little too much lately, isn't it?"

"Hahahaha! Don't worry too much! It's just a complaint from some vampires! When are these bugs qualified to influence the decisions made by the Supreme Council. What's more, some of them dare to assassinate a high-ranking councilor, as long as you nod, I will eradicate all the vampires in my jurisdiction. ”

A male lawmaker with short silver-gray hair laughed and patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder.

Obviously, in his eyes, even if the vampires of the world are tied together, they can't compare to the friendship of an alchemist.

What's more, this alchemist also brought dragon eggs, as well as precious knowledge of raising young dragons.

As for the vampires, they are just a group of dark creatures that can't be put on the table, and if their humble lives can be exchanged for enough profits, I believe they will soon be killed as a rare species.

"That's right! It's just a vampire, nothing compared to your immense value. Another female lawmaker also smiled and agreed.

Seeing that the meeting had not started, the parliamentarians began to collectively fall towards Zhang Cheng, and the speaker finally couldn't help coughing vigorously twice and reminded: "Ahem, everyone! Please pay attention to your words! Vampires are also part of the underground world, and you can't treat them as black slaves who were trafficked to the United States more than 200 years ago." ”

"Sorry, honorable Speaker, they are not as good as slaves in my eyes, at least slaves can be sold for a good price, can they?"

"Enough! I'm calling you here today to solve the problem, not to let the panic spread. Cosmo knocked on the table reluctantly.

"Don't worry, Speaker, I've done my revenge and don't plan to do anything to the remaining vampires. Zhang Cheng expressed his attitude bluntly.

He is not an idiot, he knows what is appropriate, and expanding the strike area will not have any deterrent effect at all, except that it will attract more enemies.

"Oh, will you stop!" the Speaker raised an eyebrow in surprise.

In his impression, Zhang Cheng has always been a young man who is sure to repay his eyes and even has a bit crazy and extreme personality, so he can't believe that this matter is just like that.

After all, trying to kill a member of the Supreme Council is not a small crime, and any fierce revenge is reasonable.

Zhang Cheng smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, I have already got what I wanted, which is awe and fear." I believe that no one dares to question my status, ability and means anymore. ”

"Okay, I see. Getting the answer he wanted, Cosmo nodded slightly.

However, after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Dear Zhang, I wonder if you have the ability to make a life-extending potion?"

"Life Extension Potion, why do you ask this?" Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint ......of discoloration.

"I am one hundred and forty years old, and I have used magic many times to forcibly postpone physical death. If you can concoct a potion that will increase my lifespan, I'm willing to pay any price. Cosmo didn't try to hide anything, and he generously stated his purpose.

It is no secret to know the date of his death in the eyes of many people.

Don't worry, I'll send you a satisfying piece in a month at most. Zhang Cheng stood up and touched his chest with one hand and bowed.

Perhaps just a few months ago, the Life Extension Potion would have been quite a challenge for him.

Can ...... now

After visiting the continent of Faerun, he had obtained at least twelve formulas of life-extending potions with different ingredients.

In fact, all high-level mages in the Faren Continent with some ability would use things like life-extending potions to escape death.

As early as the Netherel civilization, the Arcanists used it again and again to avoid the god of death, Jeager, and in modern times, it has been even more innovative, and even the taste has been improved several times, and the most potent one can even delay death for twenty-five years at a time.

The only thing left to do is to choose a suitable blend from these recipes and give it to the speaker.

He believed that the wise old man in front of him would definitely be able to pay for what he wanted most - knowledge.
