Chapter 699: People with Big Fists Talk About the Rules

"Is your Excellency in trouble?"

The smile on Angus's face faded: "If you are worried, you can send someone to accompany us. We will only view the information related to the Royal Cane. We will not view other information without authorization."

Frankly speaking, Angus's request was not excessive. After all, although the original data was important, from the moment the concept of the Royal Cane was proposed, everything, including related data, belonged to the Illrus Empire. Yes, they have the right to view relevant materials.

But as the Solant Kingdom split from the Illrus Empire and the Hohenheim family became a member of the Solant Kingdom, the situation became very delicate.

Let them see it as collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

If you don't let them see it, you will offend Angus and a supreme mage who is bound to be promoted to legend, which is not worth it.

"I can't make a decision on this matter immediately. Please take a rest in the manor. I need to ask the Presbyterian Council for instructions."

Garfield stood up and said, "My butler will show you around, and I will arrange a welcome banquet in the evening. Please be sure to enjoy it."

Tang En suddenly said: "It's not like visiting. Please arrange a room for us. We need to take a rest."

"The housekeeper will arrange all this. Please excuse me and take my leave first."

Garfield left in a hurry, and then the housekeeper came over to arrange a guest room for Tang En and the others.

After shooing away the butler, Angus closed the door, cast a soundproofing spell, and then said to Tang En: "I expected Garfield to react like this."

"Will he refuse?"

"No, he would agree."

Angus smiled proudly: "But they will definitely put forward conditions, such as exchanging my alchemy notes or something."

"Trouble?"

Tang En looked at him: "If you don't want to accept this condition, we can find another way."

"In what way?"

Tang En smiled slightly: "A problem that can be solved with fists is not a problem."

"Why didn't I see that you are still a violent person before? Don't you like to take action and like to be a commander?"

"That's out of some necessity, we must train troops."

Tang En spread his hands: "But it's different now."

"Don't take action for now. Falling out with them is not the best option."

Angus shook his head and dismissed Tang En's idea. He looked at things from the perspective of mankind as a whole. After all, if a family with a history of thousands of years disappeared, it would be a loss for the entire human race.

"I hope they will have a tougher attitude. I am very interested in the plant growth catalyst liquid and I am worried about having no excuse."

Edward next to him looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty Tang En..."

"Oh, I forgot you're still here... Speaking of which, your brother is really ruthless."

Edward was silent for a moment and whispered: "Alphonse was not like this before..."

"The past was before, and this is now. People will change, and power will make people crazy."

Edward was silent for another moment, and then murmured: "That fireball...can't hurt me."

Edward's words left Tang En confused.

"Stop talking. I knew this would be the case. I have already prepared some alchemy notes, which are all leftovers from my research."

Angus chuckled and said proudly: "Those things are no longer important. Just restoring the teleportation array technology is enough for me to leave a name in Qing history."

Tang En glanced sideways at Angus: "You guys are really thick-skinned."

Obviously Gene and Angus plan to follow Tang En to gain a good reputation.

Angus disagreed: "I'm not thick-skinned enough, and I won't survive to be promoted to legend. Sometimes when faced with threats, you have to lower your head to survive."

"Haha? It sounds like there is some story?"

"Well, it's all old stuff, so don't mention it."

Tang En smiled strangely and took out a notebook: "Well, by the way, I have a magic book here. Guess what's written in it?"

Angus looked puzzled: "How could I know."

"Let me tell you," Tang En cleared his throat, "This is a second-level spell, arcane specialization. It uses arcane power to transform the local structure to achieve the effect of locally strengthening the hardness. It consumes a small amount of magic power during the continuous process..."

Angus had no reaction at first, but after hearing what he heard, his expression gradually became more exciting. Angus's face changed again and again, and he suddenly stopped Tang En: "How come this notebook is in your hands?" !?"

Tang En gave a weird smile: "Don't you want to know the name of this spell?"

"I obviously didn't give it a name!"

"I named it 'Angus' Partial Hardening Technique', um... although I feel that 'Angus' Self-Esteem Protection Technique' is more appropriate."

Angus was shocked: "What the hell did you name some terrible spell after me?"

"Huh? Why do you say this is a bad spell?"

Tang En looked at Angus very interestingly: "Isn't this a spell that enhances local defense?"

Angus's face changed instantly, and he said very seriously: "-Well, you are right, this is a very useful second-level arcane spell, but after I researched it, I found that it is difficult for bronze-level mages to master it. , so I gave it up—please return the notes to me."

"...You are really quite thick-skinned."

Tang En looked at Angus very strangely. It was obvious that this guy had some bad things in his mind when he developed this spell. He didn't know what happened in the first place to make him want to develop this spell. idea.

"Tell me what happened between you and Egwin, and I will return the notes to you."

"That's...ok."

Angus reluctantly compromised and began to tell Tang En about the time when they fought side by side with Aegwin. He spent the whole afternoon in the room. In the end, Angus got his wish and got his handwriting back. He directly burned the handwriting and destroyed the evidence, but I don't know why his brain cramped up and he put the notes away again.

Perhaps he thought he would need this spell again one day?

Or does he think this spell will make him more famous in history?

In the evening, Garfield only showed up at the beginning of the party and then left in a hurry.

As a result, the so-called banquet seemed to have turned into a one-man show for Tang En and the others. Basically no one from the Hohenheim family showed up, and only some servants and maids were serving them.

Angus said with an unhappy look: "Have you ever felt that the Hohenheim family is a little weird?"

While cutting meat for Ilia, Tang En shook his head: "Strange? I didn't pay attention."

"The servants here always have expressionless faces, and they feel so gloomy. Edward, was this always like this before?"

"Huh? No."

"That's weird...could it be..."

Angus mused.

On the other hand, in a large room on the top floor of the main building of Hohenheim Manor, six elders sat together, and Garfield stood beside them with an expressionless expression.

They were discussing Angus' request.

"I think we can let them refer to it. That information is of no use to us. It's better to let them refer to it. We might be able to find an opportunity to start."

"I object. Those materials are treasures left by our ancestors. Only our Hohenheim family is qualified to watch and study them. They should not be leaked to outsiders."

"I also object. Now Hohenheim has nothing to do with the Illus Empire, and it will soon have nothing to do with the Solant Kingdom. There is no need to pay too much attention to them."

"I object - I mean, I support letting them see the information. Don't forget, Angus is not only an alchemist, he is also a legendary mage. If he wants to force his way in, none of us have the ability to stop him. .”

"I also support letting them see those materials. The reason they have made it very clear is that the current situation is not good for us. We do not have enough power to fight them and can only accept the reality. What's more, that little girl is currently the most vulnerable person. Good choice.”

There was silence in the room for a moment, and the five people all looked at the last elder: "Elder Marathon, what do you mean?"

Elder Marathon said slowly: "Now three people have agreed to let them see the information. Plus Garfield's vote, that's four votes. Even if I veto it, the result is already a foregone conclusion."

"But the rules left by our ancestors cannot be broken..."

"Rules? What are rules?"

Marathon sneered: "Those with big fists are talking about rules. I would like to ask, if Angus and the others do not agree to their request and force their way into the library, who can stop them?"

Marathon was the most powerful person present, but he was only at the extraordinary level, and he was still at the fifth level of the extraordinary level. He couldn't even defeat the anonymous Tang En, let alone Angus.

"Angus is a hero of mankind after all. He shouldn't be able to do such despicable things..."

"Hero? Don't forget, another meaning of hero is those who survived the cruel battlefield. What can't such people do in order to achieve their goals?"

Marathon said calmly: "However, although I agree to let them watch it, I can't let them watch it for free and ask them to give something in exchange."

Several elders in the room immediately woke up. Since they couldn't stop them, they might as well maximize their profits!

"What do we need? The girl's soul? A living sacrifice? Or should we directly tell them to exchange for the girl?"

"Are you crazy? That will expose us - not what we need, but what they can bring out. No matter how bad the things they bring out are, we can only agree to the exchange request."

"No, after all, Angus came in person, and what he brought out will definitely not be too bad."

"Since they want to see our knowledge, let's exchange it for knowledge. Angus must have a lot of alchemy notes. If we can exchange it, we won't suffer!"

Their thoughts at the moment were completely guessed by Angus.

But what they don't know is that if they refuse, he will really do those "underhanded" things...
