It was a well-known fact in Prandal that one would rather summon a devil than a demon.
In the deepest part of the Purgatory Abyss, there was a vast expanse of scorched earth. In the fiery red sky, terrifying hurricanes never stopped. Rivers of lava spread all over the earth, emitting the rancid smell of sulfur. Here, countless Devil Army and Demons were madly slaughtering each other. This place was like a never-ending meat grinder.
Demons were the creations of Apophis, the God of Darkness. They lived in the Abyss of Purgatory. Although they were aggressive and destructive, they were ultimately creatures of order. They belonged to the Lawful Evil Camp. All demons believed in Apophis.
Mortals had always thought that devils and demons were the same kind of creatures and were full of malice toward them. However, devils, who had a long lifespan, had no desire for the wealth and souls of mortals. They only liked to toy with mortals for fun. Of course, they did not have much respect for the lives of mortals. In their eyes, mortals were just lowly creatures.
Devils were happy to be summoned by spellcasters and reached a deal with them, because it meant that they could temporarily leave the bloody battlefield of the Purgatory Abyss and enjoy themselves. They might tempt humans to sign a contract that was beneficial to them, but they would never lie to humans about the content of the contract.
Demons, on the other hand, were different. When you signed a contract with a demon, you basically had half a foot in the door of hell. This was because even their real names were likely to be fake. The so-called contract had never taken effect, and they would do anything to achieve their goals.
Why were demons like this?
Because they were a tragic race from the very beginning.
The Hohnheim family was just one of the countless insignificant members of this tragic race.
"Eh?"
Yaya suddenly stopped attacking and looked at the fallen Garfield in shock. "He's … dead?"
She looked at Maraudon, who was under Tang En's foot, and was shocked to find that Maraudon was also dead!
"He's dead too! What's going on? You didn't do anything! "
Tang En and Angus looked at each other and then at the big house in front of them.
"Brother!"
Elijah ran over quickly. Tang En went up to Elijah and picked her up. "Why didn't you send me a signal?"
"Hey, I didn't have time."
Elijah smiled foolishly. "I think I was in a daze for a while. I don't know what happened, but when I woke up, those bad guys were all dead."
After all, she had grown up in Ellington. Although she would be afraid when she saw a dead person, she would not panic like a child on Earth.
Tang En glanced at Nola, and Nola said telepathically, [Anya is awake. That demon was scared out of its wits. After killing those people, it was purified by Anya.]
Anya?
Is that Lady Calamity's name?
Tang En was stunned for a moment. Looking at Elijah, who was squinting her eyes and acting coquettishly in his arms, he suddenly smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he would actually awaken her main consciousness this time. He estimated that when she grew up and woke up in the future, she would definitely find him to settle accounts.
However, Tang En felt a little scared at the thought of the innocent and cute Elijah gradually regaining her consciousness as she grew older and eventually becoming such a terrifying goddess.
"Brother …"
Alfons came to Edward's side and said with tears on his face, "It's all over … that demon … has completely disappeared …"
As he said that, he secretly glanced at Elijah a little uneasily, only to find that the terrifying girl was just curled up in Tang En's arms and squinting her eyes happily …
The petrified Alfons saw what Elijah had done.
Although he didn't know who Elijah was, she was definitely not ordinary to be able to make that demon so afraid and even wait for death.
Then what about Noberty, who could raise such a powerhouse like a little girl?
Perhaps, he was the scariest person?
Didn't he see that even Yaya didn't dare to act rashly anymore?
"Alfons …"
Edward looked at him blankly. "It's all over? But everything in Hohnheim is destroyed … everyone is dead … all dead … "
"Brother!"
Alfons wiped his tears and shouted, "Before you came back, a few years ago, all the people here were dead! Don't you understand!? "
"From the moment they kidnapped the puppet and dismantled it, Hohnheim had already embarked on a path of no return!"
"Everyone, including my mother, they are all dead! Dead! "
Alfons roared excitedly. "Their bodies were transformed into alchemy puppets! Their souls were deceived and contaminated by the demon. They bought slaves to do live experiments! They even used little girls as living sacrifices to the demon! They are crazy! Dead! Do you understand!? "
"Even if they are crazy, they are still our family …"
"Family? They have long stopped treating you as family! And now, they had finally obtained true freedom! They don't have to listen to the whispers of the demon anymore. They don't have to bear those temptations anymore! "
Edward looked at Alfons with a complicated expression. He didn't understand what kind of experience would force his naive and lively brother to become like this. What kind of pain did he suffer to embark on such an extreme path?
"Sorry."
Tang En came over and said, "Although I promised to try to help you save them, I didn't expect that there would be no chance at all."
"You don't have to apologize. This matter has nothing to do with you from the beginning."
Edward sighed. "I just didn't expect them to do something to Elijah … They only have themselves to blame."
"To put it bluntly, they indeed have themselves to blame."
Angus curled his lips and said, "I know a lot of old guys. Although they are scared of death, no one dares to summon the demon to make a deal with them. These guys are really crazy."
"Ha, poor guys."
Yaya sneered. "Is immortality really a good thing? After I was turned into a puppet by Hohnheim, I was still trapped here to clean up the mess for his descendants. "
"Shut up!"
Tang En rolled his eyes and scolded. Although Yaya was very angry, she could only stare.
She couldn't beat him, and she couldn't escape. What else could she do?
"Now there's something very troublesome."
Tang En spread his hands. "All the people in Hohnheim are dead. Even the rest are some outsiders who don't know anything. These people definitely don't know about the Einstein family. The clues are gone."
Angus looked at Alfons. "Isn't there another one?"
"Me? I don't know about the Einstein family either. "
Alfons shook his head and said, "Before I inherit the patriarch's position, many things are secrets. Father won't tell me. That is to say, it is very likely that after this incident, many of Hohnheim's secrets will become secrets forever."
"Not necessarily."
Tang En rubbed his chin and said, "Even something like the Scepter of the King left a record. It shows that Hohnheim cares a lot about records. Perhaps there are confidential records in areas that you have no right to read."
"Very likely."
Angus's eyes lit up. "It just so happens that those guys are all dead. Now no one will stop us from looking for information."
Tang En stared at Angus and pouted at Alfons.
Angus slapped his forehead. Oh my god, I forgot that there was a real heir here!
"Alfons?"
"Don't ask me. I think my brother is more qualified to inherit everything in Hohnheim."
Alfons shook his head. After wiping his tears, a relieved smile appeared on his face. "His talent is much better than mine. I believe that Hohnheim will be reborn under his leadership."
Tang En was a little impressed by this brother complex. In order to protect Edward, he had endured humiliation for so many years and endured so much pain. In the end, he did not even care about the wealth and fame that were at his fingertips and directly gave them up.
This guy was a rare good person.
"Alfons, I have even changed my name. Hohnheim needs your leadership."
"No, brother, you can't refuse. You should know very well that the resources left by Hohnheim will only be of the greatest use in your hands."
"No, Alfons …"
"No, brother!"
"Don't push it!"
Angus said impatiently. "If you don't want it, I'll take it. It just so happens that I need a large alchemy laboratory. Hohnheim should be very suitable."
Alfons and Edward looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.
"Then we'll have to trouble teacher (master)!"
"Huh? Wait? What do you mean? "
Angus originally intended to force them to make a decision, but he didn't expect to be checkmated by them.
Smart little guys.
Yaya nodded secretly. This guy's reaction was fast.
"It means what you said. You can use Hohnheim's resources as you wish," Edward said.
Now that Hohnheim had completely collapsed, to rebuild the glory of the Hohnheim family on the ruins, he must have a strong backer.
And Angus was undoubtedly a strong backer. As long as he could tie him here, he wouldn't have to be afraid of any threats.
It just so happened that he was still his disciple. It was absolutely worth it to offer these resources to his teacher in exchange for his support!
"You little brat, you're starting to scheme against me!"
Angus was not stupid. He couldn't help but laugh. "But don't worry, since I've decided to accept you as my disciple, as your teacher, I won't leave Hohnheim's matters alone."
"Great …" Alfons breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was worried that I wouldn't be able to supply His Majesty Klein on time next month. It's much better to have a master joining us …"
"His Majesty Klein?"
Tang En and Angus both furrowed their brows. Only then did they think of a crucial problem.
Hohnheim had been working with Klein before.
