With the bright fire, the completed demon contract began to burn rapidly, and finally turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated in the air without leaving even a little ash.
At the same time, a triangular red mark slowly appeared on the back of their left hand, and disappeared after a while.
However, Zhang Cheng, who is extremely sensitive to energy, can feel that an external evil force is firmly attached to his body like a gangrene. Although it does not pose a great threat, the master of the power can track his position through this trace of energy.
There is no doubt that if he breaks his promise, the demon lord who made the contract will personally take action to ensure that the violator will be punished accordingly.
According to the agreement signed by hell, heaven and parliament, no one can intervene. Even the parliament has to take the initiative to issue a temporary entry permit to the Demon Lord until it completes its duties.
It can be said that the devil contract, heaven redemption and parliamentary amnesty are the embodiment of three extreme forces that can hardly be violated in the world.
Feeling the power of the demon lord flowing in the dying body, miles obviously breathed a sigh of relief, lay back in the soft hospital bed and said breathlessly, "now we are allies. If you have any questions, please ask. Death doesn't have much time for me."
"I have only one question. From your point of view, who is the most suspect among the many lords in Brooklyn? Catherine, the Witch of desire?" Zhang Cheng asked excitedly after touching his chin.
In fact, as a complete outsider, he doesn't care about the coming chaos and war, let alone who will lead the powerful North American Parliament. He just wants to get enough benefits from it, just as he did in the song of ice and fire.
But this time, he is not in a relatively strong position, so he must be extra careful to ensure that he will stand with the winner in the end.
"Sorry, I really don't know who is the most suspect, but it can't be Catherine. Because I know that the reason why she wants to obtain power is that her father was once the person in charge of daily affairs sent by the European Parliament to the new world, but later, with the establishment of the North American Parliament and the war with Indians, her father was gradually excluded from the power center, and finally she didn't want to be elected Do you have to return to Austria to live in seclusion? Oh, I almost forgot that when I was a member of Parliament, I secretly searched some information about the Lords around New York, including their abilities, personalities and preferences. Let Francis take you to get it later. "
After that, miles seemed to use up all his strength. He lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, as if he wanted to spend the last few hours of his life quietly.
Zhang Cheng didn't mean to disturb each other. He turned around and glanced at the statue placed in the middle of the plants. Soon he pushed the door open and went out.
As soon as he came to the corridor with his front foot, Francis, waiting at the door, came up and asked in a low voice, "what's the matter, Mr. Zhang, have you settled with Mr. congressman?"
"Well, yes, we signed a contract. He agreed to give me everything related to magic after his death. In addition, he asked you to take me to get some information, a very secret and important information. I believe you should know, right?" Zhang Cheng hinted meaningfully.
"Sure! Please follow me!" Francis's face changed slightly, glanced warily at the lawyer standing next to him, and followed him quickly towards the parking lot.
"Go back to the villa and wait for me!" after Zhang Cheng gave an order to Polman, he also disappeared at the end of the corridor.
One by one, they got on an old car with a rather old style and drove rapidly along the main road. About half an hour later, they stopped in front of an old three story masonry house on Manhattan Island.
Without saying a word, Francis took out a key covered with green copper rust from his arms and forced it into the dirty lock on the door.
Only a click was heard and the lock was opened.
After bending down and making a sign of invitation, he led the way and said, "Sir, this is the place where Mr. congressman uses to store valuables and carry out alchemy experiments. In the future, it will be your property. Later, I will go through relevant legal procedures. You just need to sign the document."
"Oh? A villa like this must be valuable?" Zhang Cheng asked with a smile as he looked at the large number of antique furniture, works of art and paintings around the living room.
"No, sir, compared with the things stored in this villa, its own value is insignificant. Look at this statue of the virgin, which is the work of Raphael Sansi, an outstanding painter in the Renaissance, and its value is five times that of the villa. And this Candlestick, which was used by Louis XIV, the French Sun King, and these antique furniture, plates and tea sets , none of them has a history of hundreds of years, and some can even be traced back to the dark middle ages thousands of years ago... "
Francis is undoubtedly full of feelings for the things in the house. He talks about the origin of everything and the story behind it.
Under his leadership, they unknowingly came to the study on the right side of the second floor.
Just when Zhang Cheng was attracted by all kinds of books on the shelves, the old man suddenly raised his hand to signal him to stop, followed by a bow to the monster shaped stone statue standing at the door of the room: "guard, the master asked me to take this gentleman to get something."
"Allow to pass!" the sapphire inlaid in the statue's eyes flashed a light and made a low hum.
"Also, in the future, this gentleman will be the new owner of the house. You need to obey his orders like the owner," Francis continued.
"Please show me your proof! Otherwise 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 very strong combat effectiveness. It can divide an ordinary person into two parts in a few seconds.
It was impossible for Zhang Cheng to ignore such a naked threat. He immediately took two steps back and was ready for battle.
But before he put it into practice, Francis immediately reminded, "Sir, please show me the master's gold smelting stone."
"Gold smelting stone?" Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned and took out the ring with strange luster from his pocket.
moment
The originally hostile statue seemed to encounter a natural enemy and immediately curled up into a ball and dared not move.
"Please remember, you can control all the alchemy creations in this house with the help of alchemy stones. Once the alchemy stones are lost, they will regard you as an enemy and intruder, so please keep them carefully. Here, this is the information you want. Now let me take you home."
Francis took out a thick note from the bookshelf and handed it to Zhang Cheng with the key
