A few minutes later, in the most ornate guest room in the cruise ship, Laverne narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the 40-year-old white man standing in front of him.
After a full minute, he pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "sit down. Unexpectedly, Fergie was willing to send out his favorite son and heir."
"Thank you very much! It's my honor to be met by you." the white man bent down and bowed deeply, and then sat down gracefully.
Obviously, he has received strict etiquette training, his every move is as perfect as a textbook, and is full of the reserve and gentleman spirit advocated by the British upper aristocrats.
"Tell me, Anthony, what's the purpose of your father's asking you to come at this sensitive time?" Laverne didn't intend to beat around the Bush and went straight to the subject as soon as he opened his mouth.
"For two things. First, the Marcus family needs at least two dragon eggs. I hope you can help; second, I want to meet the recently famous Oriental wizard and see if I can reach some cooperation intentions." the white man known as Anthony quickly showed his intention without nonsense.
After all, as a direct descendant of Rudolph Marcus, the second leader of the North American Supreme Council, the sickle of death, he has enough capital to get what he wants through exchange and bargaining.
In fact, although the United States of America has been promoting the so-called "freedom", "equality" and "democracy", it has actually been pursuing a strict hierarchy internally.
No matter how rich outsiders are, they can't enter one small circle after another.
Similarly, a similar situation exists in the underground world.
Through marriage, several families most rooted in this land are closely united. Although it will not affect the Supreme Council, it is absolutely no problem to control the secondary Parliament.
Laverne was undoubtedly well aware of the great influence behind the Marcus family. He subconsciously frowned and thought for a moment, and soon tapped the table and responded: "All the members of the Supreme Council know the number of dragon eggs. I can't help. But I can arrange to meet Zhang. But if I remember correctly, there should be no female members of the right age in your family to marry?"
"No, there's an illegitimate daughter," Anthony said with an awkward smile.
"Oh? Illegitimate daughter! Whose?" lafune showed a rare gossip expression.
As far as he knows, in order to maintain the magic talent of future generations, those large families often deliberately choose marriage and childbearing objects.
As for illegitimate children and illegitimate women, they usually do not exist. Even if they are born accidentally, they will be carefully hidden, neither recognized nor known by the outside world.
"Mine! That was a mistake I made when I was young. She is seventeen years old and studying magic in the wizard college. Although her talent is a little unsatisfactory, it is enough for marriage." Anthony did not try to hide anything and happily chose to admit it.
Although the daughter made him feel a little humiliated, since it would be exposed sooner or later to be used for marriage, he might as well act a little free and easy.
"Unbelievable! But it sounds like a good story. When we have time to talk about this beautiful mistake next time. Besides, don't blame me for not reminding you that Zhang is not a small role that is easy to be manipulated. On the contrary, he has wisdom and ambition incompatible with his age, and is extremely dangerous. You will never think what he will do in a critical moment Crazy decision. "
In saying these words, Laverne's tone was full of seriousness and warning.
"Don't worry. You should know that the Marcus family pursues a consistent strategy and will never easily offend any tomorrow star. If there is nothing else, I'll leave first. This time, we owe you a favor." Anthony got up and planned to leave.
But before he bowed, laforn interrupted, "wait! I happen to have something I need your help here."
"Of course! Please!" Anthony first froze, then nodded without hesitation.
"I have here a stone slab enshrined in Poseidon temple in ancient Greece, which is said to record the sinking position of Atlantis. Your family seems to have many talents who are proficient in this field. Please translate it for me." then Laverne took out an ancient stone slab full of strange words and symbols from the password box around him.
Due to the baptism of years, most of the handwriting on the surface has been blurred, and only the portrait of Poseidon holding a trident in the middle is still lifelike.
"This... This is!!!!!!" Anthony obviously recognized the origin of the stone slab and widened his eyes in shock.
"That's right! It's the suicide note left by the last Atlantis survivor in the legend. Don't ask me where I got it, I won't tell you. Don't try to covet it, because you and your family can't afford it."
"I understand! But I'm afraid it will take a long time to translate such an ancient thing."
"Don't worry, I have plenty of time."
……
Just as Anthony stepped off the cruise deck, in the headmaster's office of the magical secret place, where the wizard college is located, an old man with white hair and beard was looking through the information sent by his men.
About two or three minutes later, he held his glasses and asked, "are you sure this Oriental has a magic system we don't understand?"
"Yes, the great wizard. I have observed for a long time, and his magic runes and spells are completely different from ours. Moreover, not long ago, he cut off Brenda's arm in a conflict and couldn't see the action. The whole process seemed to be completed suddenly." Venus explained calmly.
After experiencing Zhang Cheng's terrible ability, she took the initiative to come to the place where she had studied and lived, and wanted to use the power of the wizard association to solve the mystery.
"Do you mean - move in an instant?" the old man called the great wizard looked up with a trace of curiosity on his wrinkled face.
"No! It's not just instantaneous movement! It's more like... More like..." Venus searched his brain desperately to find an accurate adjective.
But before she found it, the great wizard smiled and added, "it's more like time has stopped, isn't it?"
Venus heard the word, his eyes lit up and nodded desperately: "yes! Time stops! It's like he controls time! When everyone can't move! When he can't feel it, he cut off Brenda's arm. Do you think this power or magic really exists?"
"I don't know. At least I haven't seen it. Maybe I should make time to go to New York and meet this young man from the mysterious East..."
