Casting spells

As one of the members of North America's highest council, Laverne personally sits in charge to prevent accidents of several of the most valuable goods.

Because it won't be long before the annual auction will be held on this ship.

At that time, not only the lords and members of the North American region will come to participate, but the high-level members of other regional parliaments will occasionally appear.

Especially since someone has released the news that there are dragon eggs in this auction, it is foreseeable that there will be a lot of disputes, and maybe even those ancient families who usually think highly of themselves will send representatives to bid.

Just when Lavern began to think about whether there would be bloody scenes after the auction, Lauren Coney, the King of Shadows, suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, bent down and reported in a low voice: "Master, the Marcus family I have sent a direct descendant, and I want to meet you right away."

"The Marcus family? At this time?" Laverne's eyes showed two bright lights.

"Yes! I think they're probably doing it for..."

Before Lauren could finish speaking, Lavern waved his hand: "I know what these guys want to do. Bring them here. It just so happens that I need their help for something..."

Chapter 544 It's All About It

A few minutes later, in the most luxuriously decorated guest room on the cruise ship, Laverne squinted 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. I didn't expect that fellow Virgil to be willing to send out his most beloved son and heir."

"Thank you very much! It is my honor to be interviewed by you." The white man bent down and bowed deeply, and then sat down gracefully.

Obviously, he has received strict etiquette training, and his every move is as perfect as a textbook, full of the reserved and gentlemanly spirit advocated by the upper-class British nobles.

"Tell me, Anthony, what is the purpose of your father asking you to come here at this sensitive time?" Lavern didn't intend to circle around at all, and went straight to the point when 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 with the oriental wizard who has recently become famous, and see if I can achieve some Intention to cooperate." The white man named Anthony did not talk nonsense, and quickly expressed his intention.

After all, as a direct descendant of the second leader of the Supreme Council of North America——Rudolph Marcus of Death Scythe, 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" externally, it has actually been pursuing a strict hierarchical system internally.

No matter how rich outsiders are, they cannot enter the small circles with tight barriers one after another.

For the same reason, a similar situation exists in the underground world.

Through marriage, the few families that are 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 council.

Lavern is undoubtedly very aware of the huge influence behind the Marcus family, subconsciously frowned and pondered for a moment, and quickly tapped on the table to respond: "All members of the Supreme Council know the number of dragon eggs. I can't help you with that. But I can arrange a meeting with Zhang. But if I remember correctly, there shouldn't be any female members of the right age in your family to marry, right?"

"No, there is another illegitimate daughter." An awkward smile appeared on Anthony's face.

"Oh? An illegitimate daughter! Whose?" Lavern rarely showed a gossip expression.

Because as far as he knew, in order to maintain the magical talent of their offspring, those big families would deliberately choose their marriage and childbearing partners.

As for creatures such as illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters, they usually do not exist, and even if they are accidentally born, they will be carefully hidden, neither recognized nor known to the outside world.

"Mine! That was a mistake I made when I was young. She is 17 years old and is studying magic knowledge at the Wizarding Academy. Although the talent is a little unsatisfactory, it is enough for marriage." Anthony did not try to hide anything, the pain He readily chose to admit it.

Although this daughter made him feel a bit ashamed, since it was going to be used for marriage, it would be exposed sooner or later, so it's better to behave a little more casually.

"Unbelievable! But it sounds like it's going to be a good story, when we have time to talk about this beautiful mistake. Besides, don't blame me for not reminding you, Zhang is not the kind of small character who is easy to manipulate .On the contrary, he has intelligence and ambition beyond his age, and is extremely dangerous. You can never imagine what kind of crazy decision he will make at a critical moment."

When he said these words, Lavern's tone was full of seriousness and warning.

"Don't worry. You should know the consistent strategy that the Marcus family pursues, and will never easily offend any future star. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. We owe you a favor this time." Anthony Get up and plan to say goodbye.

But before he bowed and saluted, Lavern immediately interrupted: "Wait! I just need your help with something here."

"Of course! Please tell me!" Anthony froze for a moment, then nodded without hesitation.

"I have a stone tablet enshrined in the Temple of Poseidon in the ancient Greek era. It is said that it records the location of the sinking of Atlantis. It seems that there are many talents in your family who are proficient in this area. Please translate it for me." As he spoke, Lavern took out an ancient stone tablet engraved with strange characters and symbols from the password box beside him.

Due to the long-term baptism of the years, most of the handwriting on the surface has been blurred, only the portrait of Poseidon holding a trident in the middle is still vivid.

"This... this is!!!!!!" Anthony obviously recognized the origin of this stone slab, and his eyes widened in shock.

"That's right! It is the suicide note left by the last survivor of Atlantis 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 you The family cannot afford the price."

"I understand! But it may take a long time to translate something so ancient."

"Don't worry, I have plenty of time."

……

Just as Anthony walked off the deck of the cruise ship, an old man with gray hair and beard was looking through the materials sent by his subordinates in the principal's office of the Magic Secret Realm, where the Wizarding Academy is located.

After about two or three minutes, he adjusted his glasses and asked, "Are you sure this Oriental has a magic system that we don't understand?"

"Yes, the great wizard. I have observed for a long time, and the magic runes and spells he uses are completely different from ours. And not long ago, he cut off Brenda's arm in a conflict. Without any action, the whole process seems to be completed suddenly." Venus explained calmly.

Ever since she personally experienced Zhang Cheng's terrifying ability, she took the initiative to come to this place where she had studied and lived, and wanted to use the power of the wizard association to solve the mystery.

"You mean—teleportation?" The old man known as the great wizard raised his head, with a trace of curiosity on his wrinkled face.

"No! It's not just teleportation! It's more like... more like..." Venus desperately searched his brain, trying to find an accurate adjective.

But before she found it, the great wizard added with a smile: "It's more like time has stopped, right?"

When Venus heard this word, his eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded desperately: "Yes! Time stops! It's as if he manipulated time! When everyone can't move! When they can't perceive, cut off Brenda arm. Do you think such power or magic really exists?"

"I don't know, at least I haven't seen it. Maybe, I should take the time to go to New York and get to know this young man from the mysterious East..."

Chapter 545 Annual meeting

As the Christmas holiday got closer, the relationship between Zhang Cheng and Elizabeth also heated up rapidly, and even developed to the point of cohabitation.

However, in order to ensure that they could absorb enough magical energy to the maximum extent on the first night, both of them were very restrained and never broke through the last line of defense, but except for the last step, they did everything else that could be done.

Because the power in the blood of the witch is easily affected by the gravity of the moon, it is best to complete the transition from maiden to woman during the full moon.

In addition, Aisha, who completed her revenge, also returned to Catherine's Kiss Restaurant, and continued to work as a bartender in the underground bar as a temporary administrator, responsible for maintaining the basic order and taxation of the territory before the new lord took office.

The salary is also good, with a surface income of more than [-] U.S. dollars per month, and a bonus of [-] U.S. dollars in cash.

You must know that it is only the end of 2003, and the United States is still enjoying the unprecedented prosperity brought about by the only superpower after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.

Although the 911/[-] incident has cast a shadow over the future of this superpower, the US dollar is still the only settlement currency in the world, and its purchasing power is by no means the state of severe inflation more than ten years later.

Aisha is very satisfied with this job, and she can also talk face-to-face with some vampires, werewolves, elves, goblins and other aliens that only appear in fairy tales and folklore.

As for the safety issue, she didn't care at all. Anyway, it couldn't be worse than the black neighborhood where she lived before.

Despite suffering unimaginable suffering and torture in their childhood, the unrelated young sisters have embarked on a good life path. They have not degenerated into street girls who sell their bodies for a living, nor are they addicted to smoking all day long. Hallucinogens anesthetize yourself.

Just when Zhang Cheng was getting used to enjoying this ordinary life, a phone call disrupted the peace.
