Casting spells

"Good afternoon, sir, is there anything I can help you with?" Sensing the appearance of a stranger in the base, X quickly entered the alert state, and several automatic shooting turrets adjusted their direction, surrounding nine people in place.

Once they make any threatening move, the terrible metal storm will tear them to pieces in minutes.

"Head! What's going on here? You owe us an explanation!" The strong man threw away the weapon in his hand and shouted with his hands raised high.

The rest of the people also reacted quickly and learned well.

Leonid smiled and comforted: "Relax, unless one of you betrayed me, you don't need to be so nervous at all. X, start the lie detection program, I need to question each of them."

"As you wish, sir."

In less than ten seconds, a place that looked like an elevator platform rose from the ground.

"Which one of you will come first?" Leonid narrowed his eyes and looked at his subordinates, trying to find fear and panic from their facial expressions and eyes.

As a KGB-born commander, he has long learned how to put personal feelings aside at work. No matter how loyal these nine people were, they now need to be re-tested.

After all, he still relies on these people to build the team of the entire intelligence agency, so he absolutely does not allow even a single traitor, otherwise, as the organization expands, it will sooner or later be infiltrated into a sieve by the opponent.

"I'll come first!" The petite woman seemed to realize what was going to happen next, and took the initiative to take a step forward.

"Very good! Tatiana, tell me, have you ever sold information to other spy organizations?" Leonid asked the first unusually sharp question in a calm manner...

6 Chapter Fifty

Just when Leonid began to evaluate and test the loyalty of his subordinates, Zhang Cheng had already left New York through teleportation magic and arrived in Los Angeles, the most famous city of angels in California on the west coast.

But he didn't come here for a tour, and he didn't come here to try to have intimate contact with those sexy Hollywood beauties like many lewd men.

On the contrary, he came here mainly for two important things.

First, launch your own private satellite.

After Chester Basham's negotiations and efforts, the most important Western Aerospace and Missile Test Center in the United States finally offered a launch price of [-] million US dollars per satellite.

Don't think it's expensive!

In fact, since private launch vehicles around 2000 were far from as developed as they were 15 years later, only Russia, Japan, the European Space Agency, India, the United States, and China had the technology and strength to launch commercial satellites.

But the problem is that Russia is currently in the darkest period. Although the technology and rocket industry system is still very complete, due to insufficient funds, many equipments are seriously aging and there are various security problems. It may blow up for various reasons as soon as it is ignited. Although the charge is cheap, it depends on luck whether it can be launched to the established orbit.

The same is true for India. Due to the heartless and irresponsible nature of the three, no one with a little brain would choose them to launch important satellites.

Zhang Cheng didn't want to use the two advanced satellites brought back from the Marvel world, and blow them up before they could be used.

As for the remaining companies, although the technology and security are guaranteed to a certain extent, since North America is under its own sphere of influence, it is best to let the United States do it.

After all, the Western Aerospace and Missile Test Center promised not to conduct any inspections on the two multi-functional satellites, and did not worry about the discovery of the technology leading the world for more than 20 years.

Second, Cosmo, the chairman of the Supreme Council of North America, finally received the long-awaited life extension potion.

But unfortunately, the bottle of potion was nearly one-third short when it reached his hands, and it was obvious that someone intercepted part of it halfway.

So the 140-year-old monster finally broke out with unprecedented anger, and began to order his subordinates to frantically search every place along the way, vowing that no matter who the opponent is, he will pay the price for his actions, the price of blood and death.

His unscrupulous actions of arresting, interrogating, and killing across the United States undoubtedly violated the interests of several other members of the Supreme Council, leading to intensified conflicts within the Council, and even broke out several small-scale conflicts and Confrontation.

All of a sudden, many residents of the underground world were a little panicked, for fear of a more intense internal struggle.

At the request of a female congresswoman with Nordic elf blood, Zhang Cheng agreed to mediate for the two parties.

If the mediation is successful, not only can he gain great prestige and thanks from both parties, but he can also get many substantive things, such as his favorite ancient books and knowledge, and interesting magic items...

In short, the identity of this mediator was planned from the very beginning, so there is naturally no reason to refuse.

You must know that perhaps for others, calming the anger in the speaker's heart is an almost impossible task.

Because all the councilors knew that Cosmo's life was about to come to an end, anyone who tried to destroy his extended life span, even if it was only a third of his life span, was bound to suffer the most violent revenge.

But for Zhang Cheng, who had just evolved the soul of magic, there was almost as much life-prolonging potion as he wanted, and he only needed to fill up a bottle, and all problems were solved.

With a very relaxed and happy mood, he quickly walked to a villa with a black obelisk on Venice Beach, smiled and said to the gargoyle statue standing at the door: "Is Chairman Cosmo at home?"

moment!

The statue's eyes opened slowly, a red light flashed, and it responded in a low voice: "Welcome to visit, Mr. Congressman, the master is currently in the living room on the first floor. By the way, he has been a bit irritable recently. Since yesterday From night to now, two servants and four slaves have been torn apart by terrible magic, you'd better be a little careful."

"Don't worry, that's what I'm here for."

After all, Zhang Cheng ignored this intelligent magical creature, walked through the quiet courtyard, and directly pushed open the closed door.

Before he had time to observe the surrounding decorations and furnishings, he felt a strong magical energy blowing towards his face.

No hesitation at all!

He immediately raised the Supreme Authority disguised as a Western-style walking stick, and immediately created an anti-magic force field.

When the astonishing magical energy flew close, it was bounced off by the force field on the spot and disappeared without a trace.

"Dear Speaker, the way you welcome guests is really special." Zhang Cheng teased with an exaggerated raised eyebrow.

"Oh—dammit! Sorry, Zhang, I didn't notice it was you."

After seeing the true face of the visitor, Cosmo immediately put away his murderous sharp eyes, put on an annoyed expression, and then explained with a sigh: "I believe you should have heard that some lawless guys actually They even dared to steal what belonged to me, and stole a third of it. No doubt, they don’t want me to prolong my life too much, so that the speaker’s position can be vacated sooner.”

"Hehe! Chasing power, power, and a long life are the innate desires of every underground world resident, and you can't kill them all. Ms. Yvonne asked me to be a mediator, and I hope you stop provoking other people." The bottom line of several members of parliament, this is beneficial to everyone. I will not let you back down in vain, this is my sincerity..."

As the last word fell, Zhang Cheng directly took out a bottle of 15-year life extension potion that he had prepared from his pocket.

"Huh?! Another bottle?" Cosmo obviously sensed the powerful vitality emanating from the potion bottle, and his eyes widened in surprise. "Are you sure it will still work after I drink it?"

Zhang Cheng nodded lightly: "Of course! Do you think the life-extending potion I concocted will be like those mediocre people who can only take it once in a lifetime? No, my life-extending potion can be taken in unlimited quantities."

When he said these words, his tone showed contempt and disdain for the other master alchemists.

Due to the limitation of raw materials and formulas, the other two master alchemists in the underground world who can make life-extending potions only have one effect.

That is to say, each person can only take it once in a lifetime to be effective, and if you want to take it next time, you will develop resistance to the medicine, resulting in the inability of the body to absorb life energy.

But Zhang Cheng, who has been to Azeroth and Faerun, has already broken the restriction. As long as the soul is well preserved, even if the body completely rots and disappears, he can resurrect it.

Chapter 651 Mediation

A psychologist once said that as a person gradually begins to age, he will inevitably become more and more afraid of death, and more and more eager to know what the world after death is like, thus shifting his attention from the mundane to the world. Religion, trying to find a placebo from those fabricated things that don't exist at all, deceiving oneself can go to another world to live better after death.

Although a powerful wizard like Cosmo hated all kinds of existing religions in his bones, the fear of death still inevitably appeared, and the crazy actions these days were best reflected.

So when he learned that the bottle of life-prolonging potion in front of him was still effective, he snatched it without saying a word, lifted the stopper and drank it down.
