Chapter 1104 The Master Has Knelt Down, so the Apprentice Should Kneel Down Too
Thanks to Elsa's slow and steady driving, Horus actually enjoyed the scenery along Ellington.
This unique city has indeed brought a huge impact to Horus. It seems to be full of new things everywhere, especially many products with obvious shadows of alchemy can be seen everywhere, which can be given to Horus every now and then. Bring some bright ideas.
However, what is different from a hundred years ago is that after these years of hard training in the far north ice field, Horus's character is no longer as crazy as before, but has gradually settled down, becoming more calm and charming.
If he appeared on a big screen with magic energy at this moment, he would probably become a charming middle-aged idol star in an instant. With his deep eyes and weathered face, he would definitely be able to charm those little girls.
Now Horus has completely lost his original sharpness and has become more restrained and deeper. His many years of seclusion have given him enough time to reflect on everything he has done in the past. He is very clear about what he has created. The Sleepless Man has brought great harm to this world. If the Dragon Clan had not taken action, I am afraid that the Sleepless Man would have become the culprit of destroying Purandal.
After understanding everything in the past, Horus sealed all the dangerous alchemy he had conceived and never tried it again. Over the years, he has been thinking about only one problem, how to completely solve the problem of the Sleepless Man. threats.
However, before he could solve the problem, he found that his apprentice, Aldrich Harris, suddenly disappeared.
At the beginning, Horus did not realize that he had left. He just thought that he might not be able to bear the ascetic life and went out to relax. As a result, he did not come back for several years. Only then did Horus finally realize that the situation was different. So true.
After careful inspection, Horus discovered that his manuscript that recorded the Sleepless Man seemed to have been turned over. Only then did Horus realize the seriousness of the problem.
In order to prevent possible accidents, Horus had to break the oath he swore, set foot on this land again, and began to look for his disciples.
Unfortunately, Aldrich knew him too well, and he also knew how to avoid his tracking. Therefore, Horus was unable to find any trace of Aldrich all the way south.
Fortunately, so far, there has been no news of the sleepless people wreaking havoc.
So Horus decided to come to Ellington, where the Watchers lived...
The magic car stopped slowly, and Horus finally came back to his senses: "Are we here?"
"No, this is the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute. It's still a little far away from my home. I'll get off the car to do some errands. Please wait here for a moment."
After Elsa said with a smile, she opened the car door and ran out in a hurry, directly into the building in front of her.
"Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute?"
Horus's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know what was going on here, he knew just by hearing the name that this was definitely a place full of mysterious knowledge!
If he weren't worried that his rash appearance would cause misunderstandings, Horus would have planned to follow him to have a look. He noticed that there were guards standing guard in front of this building, which was probably a very important institution.
After a moment, two figures walked out of it. The one walking in front was holding a large box, even blocking his body.
Elsa next to her said naggingly: "So I can move these things by myself. There is no need for you to help me move them..."
A plain voice came from behind those boxes: "Master Elsa, please stop talking. Now that I am a body of redemption, and I am still in the apprenticeship period, doing odd jobs here is what I should do... these things Put it in the trunk?”
Um?
Horus in the car was startled. This voice... seemed familiar?
"Well, put it in, I will use it later. Oh, war and stuff are so annoying..."
"Lord Elsa, although this war was initiated by His Majesty Tang En, he must have had a compelling reason. His Majesty Tang En is a very great and benevolent king. If anyone can save this world, I am afraid it must be him. It's done...Okay, Lady Elsa, I won't send you off, I'll go back to clean up..."
Such a familiar voice...
Horus sat there blankly. This voice brought back memories deep in his heart. It seemed to be the voice of a very, very important person to him, but he couldn't remember it for a moment...
Elsa smiled and waved her hand: "Okay, okay, then you can go back. Thank you, Rodriguez. I will put in a good word for you later and let you join the official project team as soon as possible."
"Then I'd like to thank you so much. To be honest, I can't wait to study that knowledge with them."
Horus actually heard a hint of joy in the plain voice, but immediately after, Horus trembled as if struck by lightning. He rushed out of the carriage in an instant and exclaimed: "Teacher!?"
The man turned around slowly, revealing a slightly pale face with a hint of curiosity in his pupils. When he saw Horus, Rodriguez's face flashed with confusion and he frowned. After thinking carefully for a moment, it suddenly dawned on me.
no?
No, that's not right! Although the appearance has changed a little, it is clearly Mr. Rodriguez!
Horus was filled with surprises at this moment. He never expected that he would see his mysteriously missing teacher here again in this remote city!
You know, a long time ago, Horus thought that his teacher had been defeated by the power of time and had died!
He is still alive! ?
"You are... Horus."
Rodriguez finally pulled out a name from the corner of his memory, and gradually matched that name with the middle-aged man in front of him: "Yes, you are Horus, my only disciple."
"Teacher! It's really you!"
Horus's expression was very strange at the moment, as if he wanted to express shock and ecstasy, but his years of seclusion had made him almost lose the ability to express rich expressions, so the muscles on his face were distorted and looked very weird.
Elsa blinked and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Rodriguez, do you have any grudge against your apprentice? Why does it look like he has met an enemy?"
"..."
Rodriguez was speechless: "Elsa-sama is joking."
After speaking, he looked at Horus and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Teacher, I, I am, I came to see an old friend because..."
Horus opened his mouth, but the matter was too secretive and he couldn't just talk about it casually.
What's more, the teacher never showed up during the second Chaos Invasion War, which means that he did not participate in that war and was not one of the insiders of the Sleepless Ones. Can this news be revealed to him?
What's more, there are other people around.
Horus hesitated again and again, and decided to hide it for the time being. He had found the teacher anyway, and they would sit together and chat slowly when there was a chance in the future.
but……
"Teacher, why are you in a strange state?"
Horus changed the subject. He found that his teacher was in a strange state. Although he seemed to be full of life on the surface, there was a very contradictory death energy wrapped around him. However, the two forces had not yet conflicted. It was really... Too strange.
Rodriguez said mockingly: "Strange? I am a lich now, so it is normal to be strange. Rather, I am in my current state thanks to the power of His Majesty Tang En."
"What!? Lich!?"
Horus was shocked: "You transformed yourself into a lich!?"
This news was so shocking that Horus couldn't even believe it was true.
Although he knew that the teacher had studied necromancy, he never expected that he would eventually choose this path!
Rodriguez waved his hand: "Obviously this is true...Okay, I'm happy to see you, but I have to go back to clean now. If you are interested, I will invite you after I get off work in the afternoon. Sit down in the pub and let’s talk while drinking.”
Although Horus was looking forward to having a drink with the teacher, he noticed something even more annoying: "Teacher, what did you just say? Are you going to... clean the house? You, here, actually have to do it yourself Clean the laboratory!?”
The excited Horus had just thought that this Institute of Demonic Energy Engineering was an institution led by his own teacher! Looking at the whole of Purandar, who else can create so many wonderful products besides his amazingly talented teacher?
But...such a great teacher actually cleans the house himself?
"It's not about cleaning the laboratory."
Horus breathed a sigh of relief.
"But the hygiene of the entire Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute needs me to clean it."
Rodriguez said calmly: "Actually, my current job here is to clean, serve tea and water, and do other chores."
puff!
Horus's chest suffocated and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What did he hear! ? His great, all-knowing teacher was actually working as a handyman in this Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute! ? ! ?
Who is it? ? Is he blind and doesn't recognize his teacher? ?
He is Rodriguez Hohenheim who created the Golden Colossus Army!
"Teacher! You are——"
"No need to say more Horus, I know what you want to say."
Rodriguez stopped Horus half-heartedly: "There are too many things you don't know... If you have the chance, you can go in here and see for yourself. By that time, you will know the relationship between us and him." How far is the gap..."
Rodriguez suddenly remembered what Tang En said and sighed: "...We have been beaten to death by the wave of technological reform."
"He? The owner of this Demon Energy Engineering Research Institute?"
Horus found it very ridiculous that he actually saw deep admiration and adoration on his teacher's face! ?
who is it? Who on earth has such qualifications! ?
"Um."
Rodriguez nodded: "Lord of Ellington, master of the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce, regent of the Illus Empire, His Majesty Tang En."
