The Hohnheim Family was very strange.
Tang En and Angus had already noticed this since they arrived yesterday.
At first, Tang En thought it was just because of the expressionless servants. When Angus pointed out that the servants were all alchemy dolls, Tang En suddenly realized something.
But Edward said that the servants were not like that when he was young.
Therefore, Tang En paid attention to it, and in the end, he really did discover some strange things.
The Hohnheim Family was too quiet.
As the headquarters of a huge family, it covered a large area. It should be a large and lively family with a large population.
However, there were so few people in Hornheim Manor that it was strange.
Even if all the chores were left to the alchemy dolls, there were too few members of the Hohnheim Family who were the masters. No, there were not many people at all.
The air here was filled with silence and tranquility.
The strange Hohnheim Manor, Garfield's strange attitude, and Alfons' strange behavior all revealed to Tang En that something was wrong with the Hohnheim Family.
After a moment of silence, Alfons whispered, "Some things will be troublesome if you know them. Are you sure you want to know about the Hohnheim Family?"
Tang En rubbed his chin and had an expression that said, "Tell me quickly, I'm very interested. I'm waiting to drink tea and watch the show."
After being freed from his shackles, Alfons, who was relaxed, sighed and said, "I haven't been so relaxed for a long time. It might be useful to tell you. After all, you and Master Angus are so powerful. Maybe you can solve this problem."
"Oh?"
Tang En looked at him with interest. "What problem?"
"The Hohnheim Family … has gone crazy."
Alfons' words stunned Tang En. "Crazy?"
"Yes."
After a moment of silence, Alfons whispered, "Since they learned that the Erinsberg Family obtained 'immortality' in another way, they have gone crazy. Yes, they covet immortality."
Immortality?
Tang En frowned. Immortality in the eyes of mortals might not be true immortality. It might be another form of imprisonment.
"And then?"
"During a visit more than ten years ago, they planned to kidnap a member of Einz Behren."
Alfons said faintly, "That was something I stumbled upon a long time ago. My grandfather … Elder Mauradon of the Council of Elders of the Six, led the core members of the family and disassembled that person's body. Because the human body refinement technique of Einsteinberg was learned from Hohnheim, there was no secret to us. Grandfather easily found the gem that stored the core soul."
"Then, the elders tried to reverse engineer the soul gem and uncover its secrets. They tried to obtain the artificial soul transformation technology, but they didn't expect that this was the beginning of a nightmare."
"In that soul gem, apart from that person's soul, there's also a crazy soul!"
At this point, a look of horror flashed across Alfons' face. "Grandpa and the others are all crazy! They said that the great being promised to give them great power! Eternal life! "
Tang En frowned slightly. What Alfons said was very similar to the situation of the Serpent of Darkness, but the Serpent of Darkness had now been completely destroyed. Even those who were wandering outside had been wiped out by the people sent by the Radiant Church. Now, the Serpent of Darkness had completely disappeared from the world.
If it wasn't them, who could it be?
"Now, the elders of Hohnheim have gone crazy in order to obtain immortality. They have begun the forbidden human body refinement again. Then, they used all the servants in the manor as experimental subjects, refining and transforming them into puppets — just to create a perfect body for that being!"
Alfons gritted his teeth and said, "Even Mother was not spared. Those damn bastards, they are crazy to the extreme! And that damn man, in order to achieve his goal, he even abandoned Mother! "
Polluted soul, human body refinement, the temptation of eternal life, a perfect body …
Tang En thought about it and glanced at Elijah subconsciously.
If there was anyone present who was most suitable for a perfect body, Elijah was undoubtedly the best choice.
As the reincarnation of a goddess, it was needless to say how outstanding her body was. In addition to her rare talent in magical affinity, she was as eye-catching as a lamp in the dark for Garfield and the others who desperately wanted to create a perfect body.
No wonder his attitude changed so quickly yesterday. It turned out that he was after Elijah.
"So? You pretended to be a rebel. In order to protect Edward, you deliberately talked back to your brother and drove him out of here? "
Alfons whispered, "The Hohnheim family needs someone to pass on the legacy. My brother's talent is much better than mine. He is more useful than me."
Tang En looked at him with admiration. He didn't expect this guy to be such a dedicated brother.
"What do you want to do now?"
"I want to purify this place!"
Alfons said very firmly. "This place is completely hopeless. They are all crazy. I can't let them leave here and insult the thousand-year-old name of Hohnheim."
Tang En raised his eyebrows. "What's the plan?"
"… No."
"Huh?"
Tang En slapped his forehead. "You don't even have a reliable plan, and you're thinking so much?"
"Actually … it's not that I don't have one."
Alfons said hesitantly. "In the treasury of Hohnheim, there is a powerful weapon passed down by the ancestors. If I can get that weapon, I am sure I can bury them all here. Unfortunately, I can't enter the treasury before I become the patriarch."
"What weapon is so powerful?"
"A puppet."
After a pause, Alfons continued, "A puppet made by the ancestors, the most powerful one so far."
Tang En looked suspicious. "How powerful?"
No matter how powerful this thing was, it was still man-made. How powerful could it be?
"Infinitely close to the legendary level!"
"F * ck!? Is that still an alchemy puppet? "
Tang En was dumbfounded. How difficult was it to advance to the legendary level? Just look at the number of legendary masters in Prandal today. However, a puppet was close to the legendary level. How could those people survive?
"That is the most powerful puppet made by the ancestors of Hohnheim. It is also one of the trump cards of Hohnheim. It is said that the ancestors used the soul of a dead legendary master and the most precious materials to make it. However, because the puppet was too powerful and had its own consciousness, she was very independent. She usually did not like to follow orders and liked to act according to her own ideas. So, the ancestors had no choice but to seal her in the treasury."
"The ancestors once said that as long as she could find what she was missing, she could really advance to the legendary level and become a legendary alchemy puppet."
"I see … But in other words, I know the most powerful combat power of Hohnheim."
The most powerful elder was Elder Maraudon, who had extraordinary strength. His most powerful weapon was a sealed pseudo-legendary alchemy puppet. This level of combat power was not enough at all.
Tang En shrugged and said, "If that's all, Angus and I can easily help you deal with them. But are you sure you want to kill them? Although they are crazy, they are still your family. "
Alfons said coldly, "Since they used my mother to make a human body, they are no longer my family."
Tang En nodded noncommittally. Using living people for alchemy experiments was absolutely forbidden. For this reason alone, killing them would be doing the heavens a favor.
"That soul polluted the whole of Hohnheim … He kept whispering in my ear … promising me great power and eternal life, as long as I accepted him … The whispers every day and night were like a nightmare …"
Alfons clenched his fists. "I pretended to accept the fusion of souls and endured for so many years, just to get the right of inheritance, then activate the puppet, and end it all with my own hands. Now, I finally have a chance when I meet you!"
Alphonse looked at Twain with great determination and said, "Your Excellency Norberty, please take action with Master Angus and destroy this filthy family. As long as they are purified, no matter what information you need from the family, I can give it to you!"
Tang En did not agree on the spot. Instead, he said, "You go back and continue acting. I will discuss it with Master Angus in the evening. If we have made a decision, we will inform you."
"Understood, but I hope you will do it as soon as possible."
Alfons' gaze fell on Elijah, and he whispered, "I think, from the moment they saw this little girl, they had already decided to do it."
"If they dare to do anything to Elijah, they will suffer."
Tang En's expression was quite strange. How dare they target Lady Calamity? Are they tired of living?
After watching Alfons leave the garden, Tang En turned to look at Nola. "How trustworthy is what he said?"
As a fairy, Nola was born with the ability to distinguish the thoughts of others. She could tell whether someone was good or evil.
Nola was happily gnawing on a candy ball. She wiped the sugar residue from the corner of her mouth and said, "He is telling the truth. He did not lie."
"In other words, there is a strange soul that has polluted this place …"
Tang En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to calculate quickly in his mind.
Although it was heartless to say so, in fact, the current situation in Hohenheim was like someone giving Twain a pillow when he was sleepy. He was worried that he would not have a chance to get rid of them all in one fell swoop, and in the end, this happened.
Now, he did not even have to be a thief. He could directly enforce justice on behalf of the heavens.
Tang En rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. Then, he suddenly said to Elijah, "Elijah, how about you sleep alone tonight?"
"Ah? No! "
Elijah hugged Tang En's arm and said coquettishly, "I want to sleep with big brother!"
"Don't make trouble. Let me tell you …"
Tang En smiled strangely. Since they wanted to do something to Elijah, he would give them a chance. Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed to do it.
