Chapter 691 Damn, I Got Tricked Again!
In the library, Tang En looked at Edward in surprise.
This rhythm is a bit wrong. Isn’t the Hohenheim family an alchemy family? Why do people in that family still want Angus as their teacher?
Even if Angus is a famous alchemy master in Purandal, there is no need to sacrifice the near and the far away, right?
"Boy, I told you before, you can't learn alchemy from me."
As soon as Angus said these words, Tang En realized that the two of them had met before.
Edward said stubbornly: "The reason you mentioned last time is not valid. You should know very well that as a commoner child, it is impossible for me to truly have access to the core knowledge of the Hohenheim family."
"But I think the steel puppet you made is already very good. This shows that you have mastered the key through your own efforts."
Angus shook his head and said: "It is not appropriate for you to learn my knowledge. My alchemy is not suitable for you. Learning from me will only affect your talent. You should follow your own path."
"Alphonse was just my attempt."
Damn, even though he’s not his younger brother, his name is still Alphonse!
Edward glanced at the steel puppet and said with great regret: "I tried to restore the golden statue recorded in the family literature, but after all my efforts, what I finally produced was just such a defective product, with only silver-level strength."
Damn it, a steel puppet has silver level strength, what else do you want, brother!
Just as he finished subconsciously complaining in his mind, Tang En suddenly came to his senses: "Wait a minute! Did you just say that your family's documents recorded the matter of the golden statue of the giant god?"
"Yes."
Edward glanced at Tang En a little strangely: "It's the golden giant statue army controlled by Gilad, the founder of the Illus Empire. It was designed by my ancestors."
Tang En and Angus looked at each other and felt a little excited. Unexpectedly, the Hohenheim family still had information about the Golden Colossus Legion!
Tang En took out Illrus' royal cane: "Do you know what this thing is?"
Edward glanced at it and said, "Isn't this the royal staff that controls the Golden Colossus Army? What's wrong?"
Edward's reaction was so bland, but Tang En was surprised: "Aren't you surprised to see this?"
"What am I surprised about?"
Edward looked puzzled: "You are now the king of the Illus Empire. It is normal for the royal staff to be in your hands."
Seeing Tang En's confused look, Angus whispered: "After the Royal Cane was lost, the late king found someone to make a replica. The one now in the palace treasury is the replica. The news about the loss of Illus' Royal Cane Only a few people know."
After hearing what Angus said, Tang En suddenly realized.
"What did you say? The royal staff is lost!?"
Edward, who realized this later, was shocked.
"What a shock!"
Angus said angrily: "Didn't Tang En find this?"
"In other words, is this true? Can it summon the legendary invincible golden colossus army?"
"cannot."
Tang En shook his head decisively: "Although it was found, the Royal Cane was damaged at the end of the first Chaos Invasion War. We need to repair it, and we also need to read the information left by your ancestors."
After speaking, he said to Edward very seriously: "So, I have one more reason to go to your family."
"This... okay, I'll take you there."
Edward looked at Angus and said, "The premise is that Master Angus is willing to accept me as his disciple."
Angus smiled bitterly and said: "Edward, you are a very spiritual child. If you continue to study on your own, sooner or later you will become a greater alchemist than me. If you learn from me, you will have to follow my old path. You Are you sure you want to do this?”
Edward said firmly: "Master, I firmly believe in a truth. Only after mastering the knowledge that should be mastered can we create something of our own. If I don't even learn what my predecessors have studied, I won't be able to find my own path at all."
"But……"
"Okay, Angus, you don't have to say any more."
Tang En admired Edward's character very much. He smiled and said, "Just accept him. He is right. Human beings explore new knowledge through continuous learning. Generation after generation of people explore and summarize the knowledge." Pass it on so that future generations can learn from it and avoid detours, and then seek new knowledge."
Angus scratched his hair in annoyance: "But I really..."
"A complete set of materials for the teleportation array!"
Tang En stared at him and said, "If you promise him, I will give it to you."
"Two sets—no, four sets!"
Angus immediately said: "Give me four sets of materials and I can consider them!"
Tang En said impatiently: "I'll give you six sets of materials. Don't think about it anymore. Just agree to him now."
"make a deal!"
Angus smiled slyly.
Hold!
Tang En came to his senses, he was tricked again!
Edward glanced at Tang En very gratefully and decisively changed his words: "Master!"
"Well, since you are so sincere in wanting to become a disciple, I will accept you. These are the alchemy notes I have compiled over the years. Please accept them and take a look at them first. If you don't understand anything, write it down first. Ask me again after you’ve concluded.”
Angus threw a few scrolls to Edward, and then looked directly at Tang En.
"Okay, okay, can't I give it to you?"
Tang En, who was speechless, immediately took out a pile of materials, a fist-sized piece of magic essence, large chunks of mithril ingots and arcane ingots, bundles of eternal gold threads, and a large amount of top-grade magic dust...
"Fuck give me half of it!"
Gene's eyes instantly turned red and he rushed forward to grab it. Angus had quick eyes and quick hands and put the object into the space ring with a wave of his hand. Then the old god looked at Gene from the ground and said with a smile: "With these materials, I don't believe that I will lose this bet."
Gene just showed off his old face and said, "I admit that you won, can't you? If you still recognize me as your friend, you can give me half of it!"
"You admit you lost?"
"I admit!"
"Are you willing to throw in the towel by running naked around Ellington?"
"I do!"
Damn, do you want to play so big? ?
Tang En was dumbfounded. Are you willing or not?
It’s immoral!
It's immoral!
Not to mention those tender-faced little girls, even those great ladies and gentlemen would find it irritating!
Angus smiled sinisterly and said, "Then go ahead and I'll give you half of it when you come back."
"keep your word."
Jean said without hesitation, he put his clothes into the space ring and rushed out.
"Damn it, he really went naked!?"
Tang En still couldn't believe the scene he saw. He already knew that Jean was extremely shameless, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated him!
"At least he doesn't dare to be mean while we're watching him."
Angus nodded with satisfaction, and with a flick of his finger, an arcane eye flew out, intending to enjoy the ugliness of this guy.
As a result, as soon as the Arcane Eye caught up with Jean, Angus almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "Damn, this old bastard dares to cheat!"
Tang En and Edward were also stunned.
Yes, Gene cheated.
He did run around naked, but... he had cast an invisibility spell on himself!
Who can see him except Decarios, Azraokamanda and Othinya! ? With his cultivation level, even if Aegwen came, he would definitely not be able to notice it if he didn’t pay close attention!
After Gene came back from a wild run, before he could speak, Angus pointed at his nose and yelled: "Not counting! You old bastard cheated! I won't admit it!"
"You want to go back on your word!?"
Jean, who put on his clothes, was furious: "When we made a bet back then, we only said that the loser would run around naked, but he didn't say that he was not allowed to use invisibility!"
"You, you are quibbling!"
Angus was anxious: "When we bet, the default is that the loser is not allowed to use magic shielding!"
"That's nice to say."
Jean sneered: "Do you dare to say that you didn't explicitly add this clause in the first place to give yourself room to avoid it? Do you dare to say that you won't use invisibility when you lose?"
Angus's eyes immediately became a little wandering.
Yes, both of them are experienced, and both are magicians. Since the bet is set, they will definitely pay special attention to this aspect. At the beginning, there was no explicit rule that the losing party could not use spells. This already shows that These two guys already had evil intentions when they made the bet.
"So, bring the stuff!"
Gene held out his hand with a straight face: "Otherwise, don't blame me for falling out with you!"
"Just give it, you really think I'm afraid of you!"
Angus muttered, evened out the ingredients and gave half of them to Gene.
Jean accepted the information with a smile: "I'm just afraid, why are you pretending?"
Although they are both legendary mages, Angus's achievements in alchemy are higher, and he is not as good as Jean in terms of actual combat.
Tang En said helplessly: "Are you done? Angus, come over and let's discuss the itinerary."
"Oh yes!"
Angus slapped his forehead: "Edward, where are your Hohenheim family from?"
Edward said honestly: "In the Kingdom of Solant."
Tang En frowned, Solant Kingdom is in a bit of trouble.
"It's a bit troublesome..."
Angus looked at Tang En: "Hide your identity."
After all, Tang En is the king of the Illrus Empire. Now many people know what he looks like. If the news of going to the Solant Kingdom is known, Klein Solant will be in big trouble.
That ambitious man has wanted to annex the Illrus Empire for a day or two. If he knew that Tang En had gone to his territory, he would probably stop Tang En from returning to his country at all costs.
"No problem, just change the name of the transfiguration technique, that's fine."
Angus thought for a while and then said: "That's right. Anyway, I haven't met him directly, so there should be no problem. Then when should we set off?"
"I want to leave as soon as possible."
Tang En looked at Edward: "But it depends on Edward's arrangements."
