In Prandal, even a magic apprentice was respected in many places because mastering the power of magic meant mastering the channel to the top of society.
This situation became even more exaggerated after Jean established the City of Silver and gathered the mages in the human countries.
Because the number of mages wandering outside the City of Silver had become extremely small, many nobles wanted to recruit some mages into their own forces, but they had no idea where to start.
Rogue mages became the only choice.
Although these rogue mages mastered very few spells and even received a variety of magic inheritances, they were not considered orthodox mages at all, but they were talented.
Unfortunately, rogue mages were also difficult to find.
The Hohnheim family had a thousand-year history of alchemy. They had mastered magic even before the City of Silver appeared, so of course, they were not a rogue mage family. They were quite orthodox, a magic family with a complete inheritance.
Even in such a magic family with a thousand-year history, the family members were generally only at the Silver or Gold level. If any family member could be promoted to the Guru level, they would have the qualifications to enter the Council of Elders, become a member of the upper class of the family, and receive more resources.
So far, the Hohnheim family had a thousand-year history. So far, only the founder of the family had reached the Legendary Realm. Today, the most powerful combat force in the Hohnheim family was only an extraordinary elder.
Because of this, Garfield was so shocked. He did not expect that a mere apprentice of Angus would have the strength of a supreme mage!
That was the supreme mage, only one step away from the Legendary Realm!
A supreme mage, no matter in which country or which race, would be envied by all. With such unlimited potential and a brilliant future, he was willing to become Angus' apprentice?
If he had such talent, Garfield thought, even if Angus was a legendary mage, he would not be willing to give up the status and resources to be his apprentice.
Who was he?
Garfield even forgot that Alvons was severely burned by the rebounded fireball at this moment. He stared at Tang En from head to toe.
He had never seen or heard of him.
If such a powerful Magician had appeared in the human world, he would definitely have heard of him. Unfortunately, this person's face was ordinary and had no special features.
"Your Excellency's child seems to be a little short-tempered."
Angus glanced at Alfons. With a wave of his hand, the flames on Alfons were extinguished.
"Take him to get treated as soon as possible. If he stays here for too long, there might be scars left behind."
"It's Alphonse's fault."
Garfield came back to his senses and shook his head repeatedly. He asked the expressionless attendant next to him to carry Alphonse back. The doctors of the Hohnheim family would give him preliminary treatment. After drinking a bottle of healing potion, he would be fine the next day.
Garfield looked at Tang En and asked, "How should I address you?"
"You can call me Nobodi."
Tang En spread his hands. "Lord Garfield, he started it first."
Tang En was right. Garfield was not blind. He saw that Alphonse started it.
But in other words, even if it was Tang En who started it, Garfield would not dare to lose his temper. He was a supreme Magician. He could easily destroy half of the Hohnheim family by himself.
If he was patient, he could even destroy the entire Hohnheim family by himself.
In front of such a powerful Magician, all reasons, arguments, and grievances were not valid. They could only be kept in their hearts.
The Hohnheim family, which had a thousand-year-old heritage, was certainly not a persimmon that could be easily manipulated. They still had some trump cards, but they would not use those trump cards unless it was a critical moment. They would try not to fall out with the other party if they could.
"Please forgive my poor eyesight, but I have never heard of a Supreme Magician named Nobordi appearing in the Human Kingdom."
Tang En shrugged. "Now you have seen him."
Garfield was speechless.
Angus said casually, "Lord Nobodi is Jean's good friend. With his talent, it is almost certain that he will advance to the legendary realm."
Angus's casual words gave Garfield a shock.
Will advance to the legendary realm!?
Even Jean, the Master of Stars and Moon, thinks so highly of him!?
When did such a genius appear in the human world!?
"Oh, right."
Angus pointed to Elijah and said, "This is Elijah, Nobodi's sister. If there are no accidents, she will advance to the legendary realm before the age of eighteen."
"Before the age of eighteen!? Advance to the legendary realm!? How is this possible!? Even if she is a genius — No! Wait! Could it be — "
Garfield suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Elijah in disbelief. "Magic Power Affinity!?"
As a magic family with a thousand-year-old heritage, Garfield certainly knew the powerful effect of magic power affinity. In history, every magic power affinity had advanced to the legendary realm without exception.
It had been a long time since a magic power affinity had appeared in the human world. He did not expect to see one today!
Garfield's eyes immediately became fiery, and the stiff expression on his face became much more enthusiastic. If it was her, she might be able to satisfy his request!
"Master Angus, please come this way. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea, then we can talk slowly."
Tang En and Angus were a little baffled. What was wrong with this guy?
He was not willing to let them in just now, and in the blink of an eye, he invited them in again?
Garfield led Tang En and the others to the living room. The maids immediately served high-quality black tea and pastries. Although these things were not as good as Ellington's, they were still quite expensive.
The obvious change in Garfield's attitude made Angus reveal a subtle smile. He and Tang En looked at each other, and both of them seemed to understand something.
After Twain and the rest took a sip of the hot tea, Garfield was the first to break the silence. "We, the Hohenheim family, have admired Master Angus' strength and reputation in alchemy for a long time. Previously, I had always wanted to exchange knowledge about alchemy with you. Unfortunately, Master Angus' whereabouts have been unpredictable since the end of the war, and there was no way to find him. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to sit together with Master Angus today. I'm really gratified."
"Your Excellency is too kind. Alchemy is a very profound skill. On this path, even I dare not say that I have mastered much. I want to exchange ideas with each other and verify each other's ideas. This will allow us to progress together."
"Master Angus is right. This is also my idea. I think that the more people who walk on this path, the more fields we can explore and discover, and the more we can master."
"Indeed. I also admire the accumulation of alchemy in the Hohnheim Family, which has been passed down for thousands of years. There are many things that I would like to consult you on."
Garfield and Angus flattered each other for a while. After beating around the bush, the topic seemed to have finally returned to the main topic.
"May I know why Master Angus is visiting the Hohnheim Family this time?"
Angus smiled and said meaningfully, "This matter is also related to your ancestors …"
Tang En took out the Irus' Scepter of the King. "Your Excellency should know what this is, right?"
"The Irus' Scepter of the King?"
Garfield glanced at it. "Why is it in your hands? It should be in the Irus Empire's treasury now. "
"Nobodi is a good friend of the Irus Regent Tang En. For some inconvenient reasons, the Royal Scepter of the King was given to His Excellency Nobodi."
Angus smiled and said, "And our purpose this time is related to the Scepter of the King."
"You want to repair it?"
As the current head of the Hohnheim Family, Garfield certainly knew some secret information. After all, when the Royal Scepter of the King was broken, it was impossible for the previous King not to ask them to try to repair it.
"That's right. Regent Tang En Majesty tried to repair this weapon. I think the Hohnheim Family must have kept the precious information left behind. That's why we had to trouble His Excellency Edward to bring us to you."
Angus gently knocked on the table. "You should also understand that if the Royal Scepter is repaired with your help, it will be of great help to the Hohnheim Family's reputation …"
Garfield frowned. The Irus' Scepter of the King was designed by his ancestors, and it was successfully manufactured with the help of Emperor Girard. It was the most powerful military weapon in human history. It was impossible for him not to be tempted when he saw the Royal Scepter in front of him. After all, it was likely that there was a concentrated alchemy crystal that they did not know about.
But it was impossible for them to repair it.
Now, no one in the Hohnheim Family dared to say that their alchemy level had reached the level of their ancestors.
"Although I want to help you, to be honest, my alchemy level is far inferior to His Excellency Angus …"
"No, no, no, you misunderstand."
Angus shook his head and said, "We are not asking you to repair it. We just need to refer to the information left behind by Master Hohnheim."
Information?
Garfield's expression became even more awkward.
In order to protect precious information, one of the rules of the Hohnheim Family was that no one was allowed to enter the library except for the core members of the family.
The reason why Edward could see the information was that Alphonse did not exclude him, and the family did not value him. Therefore, his identity as Garfield's son gave him the qualification to enter the library.
But now, even Edward was not qualified to enter there.
Angus proposed to enter the library to look through the information …
This put Garfield in a difficult position.
Angus was the best alchemist in the world. He had to give him face, and if possible, he had to be on good terms with Angus. This was very important to the Hohnheim Family.
But the Council of Elders …
Garfield frowned.
