Chapter 701 Loyal and Disloyal?

"Master Angus..."

Garfield forced a smile: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand it? You should change the conditions."

Angus snorted coldly: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me. Apart from the gods, if anyone in this world knows the whereabouts of the Einzbern family, it is only your Hohenheim family."

Garfield broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't figure out how Angus learned such secret news.

The Einzbern family has disappeared from this world for hundreds of years. Except for the Hohenheim family, which was relatively close at the time, no one should know about the existence of this family.

After being sealed away for hundreds of years, there is no normal human being left in the Einzbern family. They have used the human body refining technique of the Hohenheim family, combined with their own research on artificial souls, to transform all the remaining people into approximate An immortal existence like an alchemy doll.

If not for this, the Einzbern family, which was closed off from intermarriage with the outside world and without fresh blood, would have perished long ago.

Due to certain things, Garfield is now very sensitive to Einzbern, so when he suddenly heard the word, his reaction was a bit weird.

"I just want to obtain information about the Einzbern family. It will have no impact on you. This transaction should be very simple."

Angus sneered and said: "If you don't want to, just exchange Hohenheim's crystallized matrix puppet core technology."

"That's impossible!"

Garfield flatly refused. Without the support of artificial soul technology, the puppet core technology of the Crystallized Matrix is ​​the core of the Hohenheim family, and it is absolutely impossible to exchange it.

"The news about the Einzbern family..."

"Give me some time to think about it."

Garfield said a little irritably: "You can go to the library now. Someone will bring you the corresponding information for you to check, but you are only allowed to read in the library and are not allowed to take it out."

Although he didn't get a positive answer, Angus was sure that he would agree in the end.

It's just a piece of news, but it can be exchanged for a technology that they have been jealous of for a long time. This transaction is not a loss for them.

Angus and Edward went to the library together, while Tang En and Ilia stayed outside.

He didn't have the patience to look at things in that area. Angus was an expert anyway, so let him look at it himself.

After waiting for nothing to happen, Tang En said, "Ilia, let's go hunting outside?"

Ilia nodded happily: "Yeah! I listen to my brother!"

Tang En laughed and rubbed Ilia's head, and the two of them walked towards the gate of the manor.

A magic circle was set up near Hohenheim Manor, and the monsters were driven far away. If you want to hunt, you may have to walk farther away.

"Damn it! Damn it! If it weren't for that guy -"

As soon as he passed the back garden, Tang En heard a familiar voice.

It's Alphonse.

"That damn bastard, I must kill him - power? No! I don't need it! Get out of here!"

After bypassing a bush, Alphonse's figure appeared in front of Tang En, but his state seemed a little wrong at the moment.

Alphonse knelt in the pavilion of the garden, clutching his head with both hands. His hair was messy, and he kept growling some small words of unknown meaning in his mouth.

"What's up with him?"

Ilia held Tang En's hand and looked at Alphonse a little strangely: "It looks weird."

Tang En frowned slightly. Alphonse was in a very bad state. Could it be that his brain was burned out by the fireball that bounced off yesterday?

"——I said I don't need your help! Get out! Get out!"

Alphonse roared angrily, and Tang En suddenly noticed his face.

His face was full of pain and struggle, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was crazy.

Something's not quite right...

Tang En was just about to go up to see the situation when he suddenly noticed someone coming. He suddenly pulled Ilia and hid behind the bushes, hiding his aura.

Alphonse also noticed someone coming. At this time, he forced himself to endure the pain, stood up and sat on the stone chair, looking as if nothing had happened.

"Alphonse."

"grandfather."

Alphonse stood up and bowed.

The person who came was none other than Elder Marathon.

"How's the integration going?"

"very good, very powerful."

Alphonse forced a smile: "Although it was only partially fused, it made me feel an unprecedented power."

"very good."

Elder Marathon nodded: "I was worried about your slow progress before, but now it seems I can feel a little more relieved."

Alphonse forced a smile: "Grandpa is interested."

"Come on, maybe you will make our Hohenheim family stand at the top of Plandar."

Elder Marathon said calmly: "It's a pity that Edward was expelled, otherwise it would have been smoother if it had been him."

Alphonse clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned blue.

"Go back, don't make everyone worry about your situation, don't be so impulsive next time."

Elder Marathon said pointedly: "In addition, if there is a chance, let Edward stay."

Alphonse paused and growled: "No! I won't let him come back! No one can take away what belongs to me!"

"Then don't let us down."

"never!"

Elder Marathon left with satisfaction.

Alphonse watched Elder Marathon disappear, clenched his fists and whispered in pain: "Brother... you have to leave here quickly... everyone here has gone crazy... Get out! Get out My head! I said I don’t need your power!”

After only holding on for a moment, Alphonse returned to his previous painful expression.

Tang En was thoughtful in the shadows.

Although I only heard a few words just now, the amount of information was astonishingly large.

Obviously, the "fusion" that Marathon refers to is inseparable from Alphonse's pain at the moment, and he has been forcibly resisting this fusion.

Although he didn't know what the situation was, at least Alphonse's words about Edward just now being worried were heard by Tang En.

Feelings: This guy is pretending to be loyal and trying to protect Edward.

For the sake of his mood, help him.

Tang En appeared in front of Alphonse.

"It's you!"

Alphonse woke up for a moment, looked back nervously, and growled: "No matter what you saw, get out of here right now!"

"Don't worry, no one can see us."

After Tang En finished speaking, he held down his head: [Nora, check it out. 】

Nora flapped her wings and landed on Tang En's arm. After looking at it with her fingers for a moment, she said: [There is another soul in his body, and that soul is eroding his will. 】

Is that really the case...

[Can it be purified? 】

[The degree of pollution in that soul is very high, but to me, it’s nothing. It’s up to me! 】

High levels of pollution?

Tang En frowned, could it be the power of chaos? No, if he had been eroded by the power of Chaos, Alphonse would have fallen into irrational madness long ago. How could he still be in the mood to protect Edward?

The surging life force poured into Alphonse's body, and the life force slowed down the pain on his body, and Alphonse's expression relaxed a lot.

Immediately after the purification effect began to appear, the other soul entangled in his soul immediately began to counterattack as soon as it came into contact with the pure and incomparable life force. The other party actually tried to swallow Nora's life force.

[You still want to fight back? Hum hum, let me give you a taste! 】

Nora put her hands on her hips angrily, and the light of life became even stronger.

Alphonse groaned, and he seemed to hear the wail coming from the depths of his soul. After that soul found that it could not resist Nora's power, it began to speed up the devouring of Alphonse's soul.

But Alphonse's iron will, honed by long-term confrontations with the opponent, played a key role at this time, and his soul defense line was impeccable.

Unable to defeat the intruder and unable to occupy this body, the unknown soul in Alphonse began to shrink rapidly, trying to hide to avoid purification.

【Still want to hide? 】

Nora's willow eyebrows stood up, and with a wave of her little hand, a golden rune the size of a grain of rice flashed away and sank directly into Alphonse's body: [I will leave you nowhere to hide! 】

After the golden runes penetrated Alphonse's body, they immediately shattered. Powerful power filled Alphonse's body, and the contaminated soul was as clear as an ink spot on a white paper.

【caught you! Disappear! 】

Nora gave an order, and the broken golden runes suddenly began to gather around the polluted soul, sealing it directly into the runes without giving the soul a chance to escape.

With a gentle squeeze of Nora's little fingers, the contaminated soul was pulled out of Alphonse's body.

After the polluted soul left the body, Alphonse, who was all sweaty... Oh no, Alphonse was sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water, but it could be seen from his expression that he was very relaxed now, There is no more pain.

[Keep this soul for now, wait and see if you can analyze anything. 】

Tang En stopped Nora's plan to destroy the soul, and then said to Alphonse: "How do you feel now?"

"Thank you... thank you..."

Alphonse panted rapidly, his face flushed sickly.

He didn't expect Tang En to have such a powerful power that he could even restrain that soul.

"Can you stand up?"

After Alphonse stood up, Tang En pointed to the pavilion next to him. After they sat down, Tang En stared at Alphonse and asked, "Okay, now can you tell me what happened?"
