The next day, after breakfast, Garfield went directly to Tang En and the others.
"The Council of Elders has agreed to your request to read the materials."
Garfield first reported the good news, then said, "But the elders all agreed that you should pay the price for reading the materials. After all, you should know that we are now part of the Solant Kingdom and have no obligation to help the Irus Empire."
Angus gave Tang En a look: See, I knew it would be like this.
Tang En smiled in his heart. He knew that Garfield would definitely make such a request, so he brought him here …
Tang En had already considered this situation, but considering that he had almost collapsed last night, Tang En decided not to say it out loud. It was better to leave some dignity for Angus.
Angus nodded, "This is a very reasonable request, but I don't know if you have any specific requirements for the exchange?"
So easy to talk to?
Garfield was startled, and then he told the elders the result of their discussion, "The Hohnheim family is very interested in Sir Angus' alchemy experience."
As expected.
Angus pretended to ponder for a moment, then lightly said, "Although the Hohnheim family is an alchemy family with a thousand years of inheritance, I am confident that the alchemy I have mastered is not inferior to the Hohnheim family's secret techniques. My alchemy notes are not that cheap."
"But master, you can personally read the information about the Scepter of the King."
"You and I both know that the Scepter of the King is broken. This time, we only came to try our luck and hope that it can be fixed, but the risk is too great."
Angus sighed and said, "If it can be fixed, it will be very helpful to my alchemy level, but if it can't be fixed … You should know how big of a hit it will be to my reputation, right?"
Garfield was speechless.
Yes, everyone knew that fixing the Scepter of the King was a very great achievement, enough to leave one's name in history, but why was it that no one had fixed it for so long?
On one hand, it was because no one had the confidence to do so. On the other hand, it was because of the risks involved.
If he could fix it, he could leave his name in history. If he couldn't fix it, not only would he tarnish his reputation, but he would also offend the royal family of Irus.
"So …"
At this time, Angus threw out what he really wanted to say. "We can trade, but just the information about the Scepter of the King is not enough. I will give you three alchemy notes, but I need you to give me the alchemy notes of three mature products. As for the information about the Scepter of the King, just treat it as a bonus."
"This …"
Garfield hesitated for a moment as he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Finally, he determined that this deal was within the acceptable range. He immediately nodded and agreed to Angus's request. "No problem, let's do that. May I know which three alchemy notes you intend to offer?"
"Analysis of the Force Field Effect of Magic Constancy, Observation of the Overflow of Magic Channels and the Method of Convergence, Basic Theory of Magic Array Multilayer Technique."
Angus said faintly, "What do you think of these three notes?"
"Analysis of the Force Field Effect of Magic Constancy" was Angus's early alchemy research notes. It was also the reason why he was so highly regarded by so many alchemists. He had discovered the Force Field Effect of Magic Constancy, which no one had ever studied before. In this note, Angus clearly explained the characteristics and functions of the Force Field Effect of Magic Constancy, as well as how to use its characteristics to increase the effect of the Force Field Effect of Magic Constancy.
"Observation of the Overflow of Magic Channels and the Method of Convergence" solved the problem that often occurred in alchemy when drawing magic arrays. This problem had troubled many mages and alchemists. However, in this regard, Angus had provided a unique solution. Although it could not solve the problem at its root, it could greatly reduce the probability of the overflow of magic.
"Basic Theory of Convergence of Magic Array Multilayer Technique" was even more remarkable. This was the technique that made Angus famous. In alchemy, the creation of magical equipment was based on constant spells, engraving mageweath enchantment, and engraving magic arrays. Constant spells were limited by the limitations of the spell slots of the equipment itself and the strength of the maker. Engraving mageweath enchantment was limited by the power that the equipment's material could withstand. Both methods had certain requirements on the equipment itself.
However, the method of engraving magic arrays was different. By improving the method of engraving magic arrays, the engraving of magic arrays on the equipment could provide the same amount of magic power. The best part was that this method had very low requirements on the equipment itself. It was the most commonly used method.
With the same equipment as the foundation, engraving more magic arrays without interfering with each other would naturally produce better magical equipment.
Based on this situation, "Basic Theory of Convergence of Magic Array Multilayer Technique" showed great strategic value. If one mastered this technique, they would be able to establish themselves as a master in the field of alchemy.
Any one of these three manuals was a priceless treasure in the field of alchemy!
"No problem! Absolutely no problem! "
Perhaps afraid that Angus would change his mind, Garfield decisively said, "We'll take these three manuals then!"
Angus looked at Garfield and said, "I've already shown my sincerity. So, what techniques are you going to offer?"
"'Optimization of Hohnheim's Healing Potion', '' Extraction of Maraudon's Herb Essence ', and' Structural Analysis of Fully Constructed Puppets'."
Without waiting for Tang En to speak, Angus suddenly stood up and said with a sullen face, "It seems that you are not sincere. Norbert, Elijah, Edward, let's go."
"Master Angus! We are very sincere! "
"You are sincere?! Hmph! If you were sincere, would you have taken out this rubbish to fool me?! "
Angus said angrily, "'Optimization of Hohnheim's Healing Potion'? Are you kidding me?! Do you think I don't even know how to make healing potions? I have at least twenty plans to optimize healing potions! "
"'Extraction of Maraudon's Herb Essence'? After so many years, I don't even know how to extract the essence of herbs? Or have I overestimated the skills of the Hohnheim family in this field? "
"'Structural Analysis of Fully Constructed Puppets'? Very good, very good. Everyone knows that the Hohnheim family has unique research on human body refinement and fully constructed puppets, but you actually want to fool me with this? Do you think I'm a layman who knows nothing? "
If it weren't for the look on Angus' face, Tang En wouldn't have known that the Hohnheim family was actually scheming against him. However, he was quite interested in 'Extraction of Maraudon's Herb Essence' and 'Structural Analysis of Fully Constructed Puppets'. The former might be helpful in extracting the components of Grey Thistle Grass and Silverthread Flower, while the latter might help him understand the internal and external structure of fully constructed puppets and give him some inspiration.
Angus said stiffly, "If you are sincere, then take out your family's books on human body refinement and fully constructed puppets in exchange."
"Impossible!"
Garfield shook his head and said, "Due to the warning of the gods, human body refinement research is now forbidden. We are now only engaged in the research of fully constructed puppets."
"It's a different name, but the essence is still the same."
Angus said indifferently, "Do you think I can't see that the servants and maids in the manor are all life-like puppets? If that's not the result of human body refinement, then is it the technology of fully constructed puppets? "
What the f * ck?! Those servants are all puppets?!
Tang En was dumbfounded. If Angus hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't have noticed.
Last night, when he was having dinner, he secretly thought that the maids of the Hohnheim family were all beautiful girls with long legs and big breasts. It turned out that they were all custom-made.
Garfield said helplessly, "Master, please forgive us. We really can't divulge the human body refinement technology to outsiders …"
"If you can't divulge it to outsiders, then let Edward take a look."
Angus said coldly, "I won't ask him about it in the future. This doesn't count as divulging it to outsiders, right?"
Garfield subconsciously looked at Edward, who was silent beside him.
Only then did Tang En realize that Angus was trying to get benefits for his disciple.
Although he seemed reluctant at first, he still put in a lot of effort after accepting him as a disciple.
Seeing that Garfield didn't immediately refuse, Angus made the final decision. "Alright, the first technique is decided. Edward should have the right to learn the techniques of human body refinement and fully constructed puppets. As his teacher, I'm just helping him get it back."
Garfield opened his mouth, but he did not refuse.
"Then for the second technology," Angus said, "I want to see the formula for Hohnheim's plant growth catalyst."
"This —"
Hohnheim was very clear about the importance of the plant growth catalyst. Therefore, they had always kept it a secret. However, the technology that Angus offered in exchange was too attractive. He could not refuse at all.
"It's fine if it's difficult. Let's go."
"Please wait!"
Garfield said, "I agree! There's still the third technology. Just tell me what you want! "
"The third technology, huh …"
Angus looked at Tang En meaningfully and said to Garfield, "There's nothing in the Hohnheim Family that I covet. Forget about the third technology."
Garfield heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he heard Angus continue, "I'm very interested in the artificial soul of the Einstein Behren Family. Just tell me about the Einstein Behren Family."
Other than the Scepter of the King, his other main purpose was to get information about the Einstein Behren Family. Since he did not have any other intentions, he might as well use it as an exchange.
The Einstein Behren Family?!
Garfield's expression changed drastically.
