Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhang Cheng was visibly stunned, but soon regained his composure and returned the salute with a smile: "Of course! This is also the purpose of my trip." What do you call it?"

"Francis, you can just call me Fosse. I have served Mr. Councillor for fifty years and have been his most faithful servant. I have to say that I feel quite uncomfortable to watch him leave this world in pain right now, and I hope he can fulfill his last expectations before swallowing his last breath. ”

As he spoke, the old man led the way, never glancing at Polmann, or rather completely ignoring his presence.

However, Polman did not show even the slightest dissatisfaction with this, and just quietly followed. He knows very well that he is still an insignificant "cleaner" in the eyes of many high-level executives, and he will never be recognized unless he can prove his strength or ability one day.

As a lawyer who has been in various lawsuits for a long time, he has long been accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world, and knows when to be patient and when to become stronger.

Zhang Cheng ignored the delicate atmosphere between the two and quickly took the elevator to the door of the intensive care unit.

Just as he was about to push open the door and walk in, Francis suddenly stopped, turned around and said to the lawyer with a serious face: "I'm sorry, this gentleman, the councilor only wants to see Zhang, can you please wait outside with me?"

"No problem!" Polman agreed without thinking.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang, please come in. Francis opened the door and made a gesture of please.

Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and walked directly over the threshold into the house.

I don't have the impression of the pungent smell of disinfectant water that is unique to hospitals, but because of the large number of plants on display, full of faint grass fragrance, and there is even an iron tree on the balcony that is in bloom.

It is no wonder that some people will say that Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian Hospital in New York are special hospitals for the rich, and both the environment and services are far from being comparable to ordinary hospitals.

"Ah, you're here at last, young wizard. Lying on the hospital bed, Miles tapped lightly on the bedside table, trying to draw the attention of the guest.

"It is an honour to have your summons, Your Excellency the Councillor. Zhang Cheng bowed slightly to show respect.

After being trained in A Song of Ice and Fire, he has become proficient in dealing with a variety of occasions and ensuring that he does not lose his manners due to differences in etiquette and culture.

Miles carefully looked at the young man standing in front of him, and it took a full minute before he exclaimed in a rather surprised tone, "I heard that you had successfully banished a demon, but I didn't expect you to reach this level. ”

"To what extent?" Zhang Cheng deliberately asked as if he didn't understand anything.

"How can I say it......"

Miles touched his chin as if thinking about something, and after about three or five seconds, he explained in a deep voice: "According to the criteria set by the Council a long, long time ago, all the inhabitants of the Underworld will be divided into twenty-four levels according to their strength, which are represented by twenty-four Greek letters,

The four levels, from Alpha to Delta, are low enough to pose any real threat, and the vast majority of ordinary residents fall into this category, who are numerous but can only work in marginal occupations to support their daily lives.

But from Epsilon onwards, the danger increases exponentially, until the eighth level, the West Tower, becomes a watershed.

Those above the West Tower are eligible to become Lords, while those below the West Tower can only become Knights who have sworn allegiance to the Lord.

Judging by the energy that surrounds your body, you have just crossed the West Tower level, and even if you don't have alchemy, you are fully qualified to become a lord.

I have to say, it surprised me. Although there is no shortage of talented young powerhouses in the underworld, the vast majority of them are either from ancient families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, or are elites carefully cultivated by certain organizations.

But you're different, you're alone and suddenly in a remote alley of New York Harbor, and you don't know the rules of the underworld.

I'm curious, where did you come from, and where did you get your knowledge and power?"

With one question after another that went straight to the core, the old man with his eyes shining with wisdom pushed Zhang Cheng closer to the corner.

He may have lost most of his power by now, but he is a formidable opponent.

"So, I'm qualified to be a lord now, right?" Zhang Cheng very cleverly diverted the topic.

He was not an idiot, and knew that lying now was definitely the most stupid thing to do, so he simply chose to avoid answering.

"Hahahaha, cunning fellow!Well, since you don't want to reveal your origins, I won't force it, but as the beginning of a friendly negotiation, you have to show something to show your sincerity, right?" Miles laughed and spread his hands.

In fact, he didn't intend to be able to find out the other party's origin from the beginning, but just wanted to increase the chips in his hand in this way.

Zhang Cheng secretly scolded the old fox, opened the backpack he was carrying, took out a few glass test tubes that exuded a strange luster from it and handed them over: "Here, I believe they should be enough to express my sincerity." ”

Miles, who had given alchemy all his life, hurriedly struggled to take the magic potion, opened the stopper and took a small sip one by one, and with each sip, his eyes brightened a little, and finally praised without hesitation: "Perfect! No impurities! No pollution! Pure as an alchemy stone! How the hell did you do it? Damn! If I weren't going to die soon, I would definitely find a way to ask you about the principle of this alchemy technique." ”

"Calm down, Mr. Senator, I don't want to see you die prematurely because of your emotional agitation. Now, you can tell me why you want to meet me at this time, or what do you want to exchange with me with the knowledge you have?"

"Don't worry, young man, don't worry, I won't die for a while, we have enough time. First of all, you have to tell me, what is the relationship between Catherine the witch of lust and you? If the answer is yes, then the rest of the conversation can be stopped, no one knows her and her power better than me, and when a man falls into the trap of desire that she has weaved, there is absolutely no way to get out. Myers hinted meaningfully.

"What do you think of me, a beast dominated by low desires? No, I assure you, our relationship can at best be regarded as taking what we need and using each other. ”

With that, Zhang Cheng stepped to the window and admired a stone statue placed among the many plants.

Ordinary people might think that it was just an ordinary work of art and sculpture, but he felt strong magical fluctuations from it. That said, the statue is an extremely powerful magical item......
