Chapter 689 Why Are You Looking at Me?
Tang En returned to the study. Fiona and Van Cleef were the only two people in the room.
He went straight to the point: "Have you found the Elric Chamber of Commerce?"
"That's right."
Fiona nodded at Van Cleef to let him speak.
"Your Majesty, fortunately you have lived up to your command."
Van Cleef knelt down on one knee and saluted Tang En very respectfully. To this day, he is very glad that he made the right choice.
Who would have thought that the lord of a remote and small territory would eventually become the king of the Illrus Empire? Although he is still just the regent, everyone knows that the real power of this country lies in his hands.
"After His Majesty issued the order that day, the intelligence network under our control began to operate, and we inquired about the Elric Chamber of Commerce in various cities. Finally, yesterday, our people inquired about their information in the mountain city of Bein."
"It is said that they made a deal with Mr. Douglas Bollet, the lord of Bein. They came to Bein last night and should still be at the Lord's Mansion in Bein today."
"Douglas Bollet?"
Tang En had a weird look on his face: "Isn't that Karl's father? I didn't expect them to actually go to their own land."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Okay, you go down, you did a good job this time, and then you can go and receive the reward yourself."
Tang En waved his hand and asked Van Cleef to leave.
Fiona murmured: "The Elric Chamber of Commerce is really strange. It has obviously bought the patent for magic air conditioners, but instead of honestly finding a place to produce it, it is still doing business."
"I kind of know what they're thinking."
Tang En laughed: "They may not value the benefits brought by the magic air conditioner. What they really want is the magic array technology in the magic air conditioner."
Although the magic air conditioner is just a very simple water magic circle, the magic circle improved by Tang En is also extraordinary. For the alchemy family of Hohenheim, the alchemical knowledge hidden in it is more attractive than the product itself. .
"What a bunch of weirdos."
"You go ahead and get busy, I'll go find Karl."
Tang En was just about to go out when he suddenly noticed an astonishing burst of power. He turned his head like lightning and looked in the direction of the library with a surprised look on his face: "This is... Brian? He actually broke through to the Grandmaster level! ?”
Fiona raised her eyebrows: "Did you give him the deep sea water element crystal?"
"He's so clingy, it's kind of disgusting."
"...Well, I can understand it. But without your help, it's really not easy for him to be able to awaken the realm and advance to the master level."
"...No! The concentration of magic power there is unusually high!"
Tang En shook his head: "It should be Gene or Angus who helped him. I'll go over and have a look."
As soon as Tang En arrived near the library, he heard Brian's broken voice laughing wildly: "Wahahahahahahaha - I have finally been promoted to the Grandmaster level! Durandon, you son of a bitch - ah! You little bastard, etc. Come on! I'm here to take revenge!"
"This guy is really pathetic."
Jean, who was studying the teleportation array, raised his head and looked at Brian with pity: "Can't beat his own son..."
Angus raised his head and glanced at Gene silently: "It's better than you, a single guy who can't beat your son even if you want to."
"What are you talking about, old bastard! Are you itchy?! You're still single!"
"..."
There was a sudden silence in the atmosphere. The two looked at each other and burst into tears.
We are both singles, so why bother hurting each other?
Angus looked at Jean with a subtle look: "As a master of alchemy, do you want any beautiful women? I'm not like someone who insists on hanging on a tree."
Not to be outdone, Jean boasted: "Ah! How dare you say that with your face? There are many beauties among my apprentices. As long as I wave my hand, they will definitely be willing to marry me!"
"Wow! So you actually built the City of Silver with the idea of being your own apprentice! You shameless old bastard!"
"It's better than you, the scumbag who pretends to be a hero and hooks up with those widowed ladies!"
"It seems you are really itchy. Let's practice?"
"Just practice, no one is afraid of whom!"
"It seems that your relationship is really good."
The sudden interjection of the voice made the red-faced and thick-necked two people suddenly calm down. They turned their heads and stared at Tang En with gritted teeth.
This guy actually gained the favor of Egwen...
"What are you looking at me for?"
"What are you looking at!?"
"Look at me, wait a minute? Are you here? Then who helped Brian become a grandmaster?"
"No one? Wait, I just saw Ilia."
"Ilia?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment, as ten thousand grass-mud horses rushed past in his mind.
Damn it, your uncle Brian!
You actually used Illya's power to get promoted! ?
As soon as Tang En was about to go in, he saw Brian and the pouting Illya walking out of the library. Compared with Brian, whose face was glowing red, Illya was obviously in a bad mood.
Ilia kicked the stone under her feet and said angrily: "That's so bad! Uncle Brian, you are so annoying! Ilia hates you the most!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I -" Brian was about to coax Illya when he suddenly saw Tang En's eyes light up, "-I'm not lying, don't you think the big brother is here? You just didn't find him. !”
"Huh? He's really the big brother!"
Ilia cheered and ran over quickly. Just when she was about to throw herself into Tang En's arms, she suddenly slowed down and then slowly moved over with small steps like a lady.
Tang En looked stunned, what's going on today? Illya changed her temper?
He opened his hands and was ready to receive it.
"Eliya, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in class?"
"Today's class is basic magic induction. Teacher Pamela said I don't need to take it."
Tang En nodded subconsciously. Indeed, those Ellington children may need to receive this education, but Ilia, who is born with a natural affinity for magic, does not need it at all. All she needs is to strengthen her ability to control magic.
Ilia pouted: "Uncle Brian, he ran over and said that big brother wanted to play hide-and-seek with me, so I came over, but I couldn't find you after searching for a long time."
Tang En glanced at Brian and understood what he was planning.
Illya has a natural affinity for magic power and is the reincarnation of a goddess. She still cannot control her instincts very well, so the magic power around her is usually very strong. This characteristic became even more exaggerated after Illya came near the source of magic power. Brian tricked Illya into looking for him near the source of magic power, and then he took advantage of this period to take the crystal of deep sea water elements to break through the bottleneck...
This guy is simply...
"Hey, big brother, how are you? Now I am also a master-level expert!"
Brian clenched his fists. After being promoted to the Grandmaster level, there was still a faint glow of magic lingering around him. After absorbing enough powerful magic, the full power of blood brought his energy and spirit to their peak state.
Speaking of this, Tang En discovered one thing a long time ago, that is, the so-called magic power is very similar to the aura in cultivation novels, and the blood power used by the warriors is also very similar to the form of true energy and internal power—— That time, Egwein's "sword-controlling skills" left a deep impression on Tang En.
This means that whether they are warriors or magicians, the reason why they have become more powerful is because the total amount of magic power they can use is more. It's just that one cultivates internally and the other externally.
However, warriors cannot use spells before they are promoted to the supreme level. To hold on to death means to use the power of blood to attach to weapons and perform martial arts. After the magician is promoted to the supreme level, his body will become stronger, and it is difficult to stand head-on with the warrior. It's no problem at all, it's like the unity of heaven and man, the state of returning to nature.
The shackles that generally prevent dwarves from using spells will also be broken at this stage.
Seeing Brian's displeased expression, Tang En suddenly asked, "What is the effect of your awakened field?"
"I don't know yet, I haven't tried it yet."
"Well, it's just right. I see that your face is glowing and your morale is high. Why don't we practice."
A very kind smile appeared on Tang En's face, he clenched his fist, flicked his right hand, and an elemental sword tore through the air and appeared in his palm.
Dese's smile froze on Brian's face, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he backed away: "No, no need, brother, the gap between us is a bit..."
"What are you talking about?"
Tang En approached Brian with a smile: "Only in actual combat can you squeeze out your potential, right? Take my sword—"
Brian was shocked and shouted: "Field - open!"
In an instant, Tang En was covered by Brian's domain, and the world around him suddenly changed, turning into a gray-yellow space, as if he were in the center of a sandstorm.
Tang En moved, his limbs felt a little heavy, as if his whole body was tied up by heavy chains, and his movement speed became much slower.
"Gravity..."
Tang En looked at Brian across from him thoughtfully: "Go ahead and let me see how much you have grown."
"Brother, be careful!"
Brian shouted loudly, picked up the immortal war hammer of the King of Mountains and jumped up high. The war hammer was covered with a layer of dark yellow light, and it hit the elemental sword in the blink of an eye.
In order to experience Brian's current power, Tang En did not dodge. After the elemental sword blocked the war hammer, Tang En was surprised to find that the composition of the elemental sword had been forcibly changed.
"Is this - petrification?"
"ha!"
The war hammer was swung like the wind, Tang En quickly blocked it, feeling surprised in his heart.
In this field, Tang En's speed has slowed down a lot, but Brian's speed has increased a lot. His war hammer also has the special effect of petrification. In addition, the King of Mountains' immortal war hammer itself has a great impact on Brian. With the amplification effect, if someone else is pulled into the field, they may not be his match.
