After a cold dinner in the evening, Tang En called Angus and Edward to his room and told them what happened in the afternoon.
"What!? There's such a thing!? "
Angus was shocked when he heard the whole story. "They actually fell out with the Erinsberg Family!?"
"Hey, you're focusing on the wrong thing!?"
Tang En glanced at Angus. "The point now is that the strange soul has contaminated the Hohnheim Family. Now the Hohnheim Family has become that guy's puppet."
"It feels … a little strange."
Angus scratched his head and didn't know what to say. He glanced at Edward, who was in a daze, shrugged and said, "Look, Edward is dumbfounded."
"Edward, tell me your opinion."
Edward suddenly came back to his senses. "… Opinion? What opinion? "
"Of course, it's what your brother said."
"Alphonse …"
Edward had a complicated look on his face. "I knew he wasn't that kind of person … I didn't expect him to suffer so much to protect me …"
Edward and Alphonse had a very good relationship when they were young. At first, he didn't know why Alphonse suddenly changed. Not only did he curse him every day, but he even encouraged Garfield to drive him out of the Hohnheim Family.
Only now did he know that Alphonse was just protecting him …
"There's plenty of time to sigh about the brotherhood in the future. Now we need to discuss countermeasures."
Seeing that Edward's thoughts had gone astray, Tang En immediately changed the topic. "What needs to be discussed is whether we should take a gentle approach or a cold one."
"Gentle approach?"
Angus looked puzzled. "It's already like this. How can we be gentle?"
"At least," Tang En smiled slightly. "For the sake of Edward's family, we can make their deaths less painful."
"…"
Angus silently withdrew his desire to complain. "You're just like a demon."
Edward clenched his fists. "Are they beyond saving?"
Although he no longer had anything to do with the Hohnheim family, this was his former home after all. Those people were his former family members. It was too cruel to watch them die.
"I don't know yet."
Tang En shook his head. "Although I can't guarantee it, I can promise you that I will try my best to save them. Of course, if I can't save them, I can only destroy them."
He wasn't sure if Nola's purification power or his own void power could expel the fused souls and purify the contamination, but it was worth a try.
If these people could really wake up, it would be a good thing. At least there would be a chance to recruit them, and Ellington's strength would become even stronger.
However, if it didn't work, Tang En could only harden his heart and purify all these people.
He would not allow such a strange contamination to continue to spread.
"What do you plan to do?"
"Wait for an opportunity."
Tang En pointed to the room next door and said, "Tonight, Elijah will stay alone next door. I hope they will seize this opportunity."
"Are you so sure that they can't wait to make a move?"
"That soul can't wait any longer. So far, Elijah is the best choice. He will definitely drive Garfield and the others to make a move."
Tang En snapped his fingers, and the soul fragment that was imprisoned by Nola appeared in his palm. As soon as the gray soul appeared, it flew to the wall next door as if there was a sweet fruit attracting it.
"What is this?"
"That soul fragment came from Alfons. It tortured Alfons quite a bit."
"Thank you."
Edward bowed his head deeply and expressed his gratitude on behalf of Alfons.
"You don't have to thank me. You should know very well that this is a good opportunity for me to recruit Hohnheim."
Tang En looked at Edward playfully and said, "It is very likely that after tonight, Hohnheim will become my territory. Don't you mind?"
"As long as Alfons can stop suffering, this family doesn't matter anymore."
This guy is really open-minded …
Tang En and Angus looked at each other and began to wait patiently for an opportunity.
On the other side.
"That little girl didn't stay in Norberdy's room tonight. This is a good opportunity."
A white-haired elder said softly, "When do we make a move?"
"Wait, wait a little longer …"
Maraudon looked at the night sky. The pink Lolita emitted a faint light behind the hazy clouds. All the magical beasts in the forest had fallen into a deep sleep, and the surroundings were quiet.
The clouds in the sky were getting thicker, and the light from Lolita was getting weaker. Soon, it was completely covered, and the world was plunged into darkness. The cold wind gradually blew, and the humidity in the air increased.
The white-haired elder muttered, "It's going to rain …"
"Yes, it's going to rain heavily …"
A strange smile appeared on Maraudon's face. "Of course, it's also the best opportunity to make a move …"
"But Master Angus is a Legendary Master. Is it worth it for us to take such a big risk?"
"For immortality, for power, for … that Mister, it's all worth it."
Elder Maraudon opened his arms and took a deep breath of the cool night breeze. "What's more, it's not like we're unprepared. If everything goes well, we won't even have a chance to do anything. As long as we can bring that little girl into the secret room and let 'his' soul take over Iliya's body, everything will be over." Elder Maraudon didn't say anything.
"His power will lead us to the top of the Prandal Continent! We might even become gods in the human world! "
Garfield, who was standing not far away, heard this and trembled with excitement. Becoming a god!
Who could resist this temptation?! At least not humans!
"Garfield."
Maraudon turned around. "Just in case … is' that 'ready?"
"Yes, it's ready."
Garfield bowed and said in a low voice, "As long as it's necessary, the 'Forbidden Doll' can be awakened at any time."
"If necessary, use the 'Forbidden Doll' to keep Angus occupied. As for that Noberty …"
A dark light flashed in Maraudon's eyes. "I'll keep him occupied at the critical moment. Your task is to bring Elijah to the secret room. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Pitter-patter …
The raindrops hit the crystal window and made a fine sound. Outside the window, the curtain of rain covered everything between heaven and earth. The sound of the rain also provided cover for some shady activities.
"It's finally raining …"
Maraudon said faintly, "Now … let's start!"
The elders in the room nodded and disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, in order to attract the attention of Angus and the others, other parts of the Hohnheim Manor began to take action.
First, there was a sudden explosion in the back garden. The violent explosion almost overturned the entire back garden. The assassins in black were locked in a fierce battle with the guards of Hohnheim. The loud noise immediately reached Tang En's ears.
"Assassins!"
"Assemble! Assemble immediately! Where are the patrols?! "
"Captain Bogus! Come to the atrium for support! There are too many enemies! "
"The backyard! There are also a lot of enemies in the backyard! "
"Their target is the library! Don't let them break through the defense line! "
"Oh?"
Tang En narrowed his eyes and revealed a strange smile. "They actually know how to use the crisis in the library to attract our attention …"
The elders of Hohnheim knew very well that the main purpose of Tang En and Angus' visit this time was to get the information in the library. If there was a crisis in the library, they would definitely not be able to sit still. Therefore, they might as well use the library as bait.
Angus also smiled. "If they don't take the bait, I'll feel bad."
"Let's go. At least we can't let their hard work go to waste."
"That …"
Edward opened his mouth. "Should I also show my face …"
"Come if you want to. Don't worry about Elijah."
At the same time, Tang En and Angus had already disappeared from the room.
A Spellcaster's Blink was just that elegant.
Edward gritted his teeth and followed them.
"Where did this clown come from?! Doesn't he know that Master Angus is here?! "
Since he had to pretend to be Angus's disciple, Tang En naturally had to give face to his nominal "teacher". At the same time as he shouted, instant-cast Arcane Missiles blasted onto the body of the "assassin" with a sharp whistle.
The assassins were all puppets arranged by Maraudon. Perhaps it was to make their acting more realistic, but after being bombarded by the Arcane Missiles, they actually spat out blood.
Unfortunately, their over-the-top acting skills made Tang En speechless.
Motherf * cker, who could spurt out blood from their mouths and shoot a column of blood into the sky?! Were you beheaded or something?!
What was even more ridiculous was that they could still get up and continue to fight after spitting out blood. Damn it!
Their acting skills were so ridiculous that it would be difficult for him to pretend that he didn't know anything and continue to play along.
"Kill!"
The alchemy puppet assassins all pounced on Tang En. Of course, it was impossible for them to assassinate Tang En with their strength. They only needed to cooperate with Maraudon to stall Tang En.
On the other hand, Angus was being dealt with by Hohnheim's secret weapon.
Time, all they needed was time.
As long as they could bring Elijah to the secret room, the outcome of this battle would be decided.
Angus floated in the air, looking like a majestic and inviolable master. His left hand was emitting cold air, and his right hand was burning with a raging fire. He looked down at everyone and said indifferently, "Who gave you the courage to face me?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several lightning bolts fell from the sky, brushing past his body and hitting the ground.
Ice, raging fire, lightning, rainstorm, and hurricane. Coupled with his fluttering long hair and sharp eyes, he looked like an invincible Spellcaster!
"Damn it, I'll give you 82 points for this pretentious act. I'll give you the rest in the form of 666!"
Tang En gave him a thumbs up. This was a real pretentious master!
