Chapter 826: An Unexpected Surprise
Sitting in the most luxurious room of the entire ship, Zhang Cheng took a sip of expensive wine from his cup, and then asked with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, let's say, what do you want from me?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Your Excellency. In your opinion, I may seem like an insignificant businessman walking on the edge of gray, but in fact, I also have ideals and goals. Old Nazes replied, licking his lips as he drank a full glass of spirits in one gulp.
"Ideal?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows with interest.
He couldn't imagine that an old fox who would do anything to turn in circles still had ideals.
"That's right!!" Nazes nodded earnestly. "I'm sure you've felt the power of death fighting! It's like a sharp axe that can cut through the chains of people's hearts and unleash the beasts that are firmly bound. What I aspire to be able to unify the secret fight to the death around the world right now, and create a real league where more people can participate. ”
"League, what a crazy idea!" Zhang Cheng showed undisguised surprise on his face. "I have to admit that I was taken aback by your ambition. You see, death fighting is not a project approved by the Joint Council of the Supreme Council, and anyone who wants to fight this idea will have to take a very big risk. ”
"Yes, I understand, that's why I found you. In fact, at present, parliamentarians and lords in many regions of the world are secretly supporting the development of death fighting, but they lack an opportunity, an opportunity to officially come to the forefront. And you're the one who came into it. Nazes was careful to reveal his true intentions.
Because he knows that he only has one chance, and if he is denied, it means that he will never get a second chance in his lifetime.
After all, although the half-blood Siren's lifespan is longer than that of pure-blood humans, he can only live for about one hundred and twenty years at most, and he is old enough that it won't take long for him to die completely.
Zhang Cheng stared at the other party's dark green eyes, and it took a full minute before he spoke: "Why do you think I will help you? Or to put it another way, what do you have in your hands that interests me? You must know that to get my protection, but you need to pay a very high price, and wealth is meaningless in my eyes." ”
"Look, this is the gift I have prepared for you. Nazes obviously knew that any nonsense at this time could not be compared to the direct display of his hole cards, and pushed a delicate wooden box forward.
"Hopefully it won't disappoint too much......"
Zhang Cheng unceremoniously lifted the lid and immediately saw half of the golden sundial engraved with mysterious symbols, which was almost more than 90% similar to the half he had obtained before.
Without any hesitation, he immediately took out the other half and merged the two into one.
Moment!
The harsh sunlight lit up the room, making it impossible to open your eyes at all.
After about two or three minutes, the golden light slowly dimmed, and the full golden sundial finally revealed its true face.
Light!
Hot!
The surging power of the sun, which reminds everyone present all the time, is the divine power possessed by Apollo, the sun god in ancient Greece.
"How's that, my gift didn't disappoint you, did it?" said old Nazes, leaning forward slightly, his eyes showing a hint of pride.
You must know that in order to obtain this section of powerful antiquities, he not only spent a lot of money before and after, but also offended a lot of forces, and finally got it.
"Well, I'm very satisfied! No problem, I agree in principle to your request. Go ahead and do it, come to me directly if you get into trouble, and I'll settle it for you. Zhang Cheng made a promise while focusing all his attention on the golden sundial.
Just now, he discovered that this thing was not only a powerful magic item, but also a map, a seal that the ancient Greek gods had set before they fell asleep.
As long as they are exposed to the sunlight of dawn, noon, and dusk, the sundial will refract some of them, and the three parts will be combined to get a complete map.
However, since the key to unlock the seal has not been found, the map is not of much use for the time being.
It has to be said that this is an unexpected surprise, a truly valuable treasure.
"Really, you agreed!" said Nazes's old face with excitement.
After all, he had fought all his life for this day, and now his dream came true, and suddenly there was a feeling of unreality.
"Of course, this is a ring that symbolizes my status as the top councilor in North America, and I believe it should help you solve a lot of trouble. Zhang Cheng has never been a stingy person, and directly took off the sapphire ring and put it on the table.
When Nazes saw this, his hands shook violently uncontrollably, and with great difficulty he picked it up and held it in his palm, knelt down on his knees and promised loudly: "Thank you for your kindness and generosity! In addition, I will give you 50% of all the proceeds generated by death fighting. ”
"I'm looking forward to your performance! Now, do what you have to do, I want to be alone. Zhang Cheng waved his hand and issued the eviction order straightforwardly.
He needed a little time to deal with the golden sundial in his hand, especially the series of runes that might have been carved by the sun god Apollo himself, which was very valuable for research.
"As you wish!" Nazes quickly stood up and bowed deeply, then walked backwards out, closing the door with his hands.
Seeing his back gradually disappear, Zhang Cheng didn't say a word, and immediately began to try to simulate the use of each rune in the air.
After a while, the room released dazzling sunlight of varying strengths and weaknesses, and once even accidentally melted a part of the iron door of the sealed cabin in an instant, and the orange-red molten iron completely destroyed the expensive handmade carpet.
Luckily, he reacted quickly enough to immediately use his frost magic to force the molten iron to cool. And most of the guests outside were attracted by the new round of competition, and no one noticed the accident in the room.
However, for the sake of safety, he stopped further after simulating a single rune, and it was not too late to study it slowly after he returned.
Otherwise, the devil knows if the power of two or more runes combined will sink the entire ship or cut it in half.
At the same time, Elizabeth and Aisha, two young girls who are not related by blood, but are closer than sisters, once again appeared at the scene of the game, cheering loudly for the players they bet on, and did not care about the image of a lady at all.
They were so engrossed that they didn't even notice that someone was watching them through the window on the top deck......
