Chapter 266: Speculation
With the bright light of the fire, the signed demon contract began to burn rapidly, and finally turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into the air, leaving not even a trace of ashes behind.
At the same time, a triangular red mark slowly appeared on the back of the left hand of the two people who signed the contract, and after a while, it disappeared.
However, Zhang Cheng, who is extremely sensitive to energy, can feel that there is an external evil force like a bone appendage, firmly attached to his body, although it can't create much of a threat, but the owner of the power can track the location through this trace of energy.
There is no doubt that if he breaks his promise, then the demon lord who created the contract will personally intervene to ensure that the violator is punished accordingly.
According to the agreement signed by Hell, Heaven, and the Council, no one is allowed to intervene, and even the Council has to take the initiative to grant the Demon Lord permission to enter the temporary realm until it completes its duties.
It can be said that the Devil's Contract, Heavenly Redemption, and the Parliamentary Pardon are the embodiment of three extreme powers that are almost impossible to break in this world.
Feeling the power of the demon lord flowing through his dying body, Miles breathed a sigh of relief, lay back on the soft hospital bed, and said breathlessly: "Now that we are allies, if you still have any questions, please feel free to ask, the Grim Reaper has little time left for me." ”
"I only have one question, from your point of view, who among the many lords of Brooklyn is the most suspicious?Desire Witch Catherine?" Zhang Cheng asked with interest after touching his chin.
In fact, as an outright outsider, he didn't care about the chaos and war that was coming, let alone who would lead the powerful North American Parliament, just to get enough out of it, just as he did in A Song of Ice and Fire.
This time, however, he is not in a relatively strong position, so he will have to be extra careful to ensure that he will side with the winner in the end.
"Sorry, I don't really know who's the most suspicious, but it definitely can't be Catherine. For I knew that she wanted to gain power because her father had been the head of the European Parliament in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the New World, but with the establishment of the North American Parliament and the war with the Indians, her father was gradually pushed out of the center of power, and finally had to return to Austria to live in seclusion. Oh, I almost forgot, when I was a councilor, I secretly searched for some information about the lords around New York, including their abilities, personalities, and preferences, and let Francis take you to get them later. ”
After that, Miles seemed to have used all his strength, and he lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling, as if he wanted to spend the last few hours of his life quietly.
Zhang Cheng didn't mean to disturb the other party, turned around and glanced at the statue placed in the middle of the plant, and quickly pushed open the door and walked out.
As soon as he came to the corridor with his front foot, Francis, who was waiting at the door, came up and asked in a low voice, "How is it, Mr. Zhang, have you negotiated with Mr. Councillor?"
"Well, yes, we signed a pact in which he agreed to give me everything related to magic when he died. On top of that, he asked you to take me to get a piece of information, a very secret and important piece of information, I believe you should know, right?" Zhang Chengyi hinted with a deep meaning.
"Of course, please follow me!" Francis's face changed slightly, and he glanced warily at the lawyer standing next to him, and followed quickly in the direction of the parking lot.
"Go back to the villa and wait for me!" Zhang Cheng gave Polman the order, and then disappeared at the end of the corridor.
One after the other, the two got into an old car and drove along the main road, and after about half an hour, they stopped in front of an old three-story brick house on Manhattan Island.
Without saying a word, Francis took out a key covered with green patina from his bosom and thrust it into the dirty lock on the door.
Only a click was heard, and the lock was opened.
After bending down and making a gesture to invite in, he led the way in front of him and introduced: "Sir, this is the place where Mr. Councilor used to store valuables and conduct alchemical experiments, and it will be your property in the future, and I will go through the relevant legal formalities later, you only need to sign the document at the end." ”
"Oh, a villa like this must be worth a lot of money, right?" Zhang Cheng asked with a smile as he looked at the large number of antique furniture, artworks, and paintings around the living room.
"No, sir, the value of the contents of this villa is nothing compared to what is stored in this villa. Look at this Madonna, the work of the great Renaissance painter Raphael Sansi, which is worth five times as much as a villa. And then there's this candlestick, which was used by Louis XIV, the Sun King of France, and these antique furniture, dinner plates, and tea sets, all of which are hundreds of years old, and some of them can even be traced back to the dark Middle Ages thousands of years ago......"
Francis is undoubtedly very affectionate about the things in this house, gushing about the origin of each thing and the story behind it.
Under his leadership, the two unconsciously came to the study on the far right of the second floor.
Just when Zhang Cheng was attracted by the various books on the shelves, the old man suddenly raised his hand to signal him to stop moving, and then bowed to the monster-shaped stone statue standing at the door of the room: "Guardian, the master asked me to take this gentleman to fetch something." ”
"Allowed through!" The sapphire set in the statue's eyes flashed with a low humming sound.
"Also, this gentleman will be the new owner of the house from now on, and you will need to obey his orders as if you were your master. Francis continued.
"Please show proof! or it will be rejected!" The statue suddenly moved, raised its head and stared at Zhang Cheng.
The sharp teeth and claws all prove that it has a very strong fighting power, and it can dismember an ordinary person in a matter of seconds.
Such a naked threatening move, Zhang Cheng naturally could not ignore it, and immediately took two steps back to prepare for battle.
But before he could put it into action, Francis immediately reminded: "Sir, please show the alchemy stone that the master gave you." ”
"Alchemy Stone?" Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned for a moment, and took out the ring that exuded a strange luster from his pocket.
Moment!
The originally hostile statue seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and immediately curled up in a ball, not daring to move.
"Remember, all the alchemy creations in this house, you can control them with the help of alchemy stones, once the alchemy stones are lost, they will see you as enemies and intruders, so be sure to keep them carefully. Here's what you wanted, now let me send you home. ”
Francis took out a thick notebook from the bookshelf and handed it to Zhang Cheng along with the key......
