Chapter 696 Lying Down and Getting Shot

Hohenheim Manor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

A young red-haired man stood in the sun with a confident smile, and a white round table was placed in the shade of a tree next to him, and next to the table sat a middle-aged man, also with red hair, and the faces of the two were extremely similar.

The young man pointed to the puppet beside him and said, "Father, this is the puppet puppet I have just successfully refined in the past few days, please comment on it." ”

The middle-aged man put down the teacup, glanced at it casually, and said lightly: "The defense power of the place where the core of the magic power is filled with the chest is too fragile, if it is a combat puppet, it will be easily destroyed by the ranger, if it is a working puppet, the processing of the spherical joint is not perfect, which will cause the puppet to malfunction during the work process, and the action efficiency is slow, in addition, you have some flaws in the design of the magic channel......"

The middle-aged man checked out four or five faults with just a glance, which made the originally proud young man freeze there.

This is his proud work, but he didn't expect it to be full of problems in his father's eyes.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Alphonse, my son, you still need to continue to work hard, if you are only at this level, the Hohenheim family can't hand it over to you, and your grandfather won't agree." ”

Alphonse Hohenheim clenched his fists and bowed his head and said, "Yes, Father. ”

The middle-aged red-haired man was the patriarch of the current House of Hohenheim and the biological father of Alphonse and Edward, Garfield Hohenheim, a grandmaster-level magician and a veteran alchemist.

Looking at Alphons, who turned away, Garfield sighed softly, looking at the sky with a blank look.

If it was Edward, he would have done better......

Edward's appearance was a miracle, but it was also a mistake, his alchemical talent was so good that Garfield thought that he was the one who really deserved to inherit the Hohenheim family.

But it is precisely because of this excellence that it has led to the current situation.

Edward was forced away by Alphons, but he couldn't stop it, because he was a concubine, his mother was just a maid with no status, and Edward inherited more of his mother's blood, and that blonde hair was a signature feature.

In this thousand-year-old family, ancestry is highly valued, and every Hohenheim child will follow a strict test when choosing a wife, and the woman must have a high enough magical talent to pass a number of tests to be eligible to marry into the Hohenheim family.

On the one hand, this is to ensure the excellence of the Hohenheim family's bloodline, and on the other hand, it is also because of the punishment of the gods for their family - the direct descendants of the Hohenheim family, the fertility rate is very low.

That's why Garfield would say that Edward's birth was a miracle.

The numb butler walked over: "Master, the young master is back." ”

Garfield frowned slightly: "I know, he has been back a long time ago." ”

"No, I'm not talking about Master Alphons, I'm talking about Master Edward. Master Edward has returned with his friends. ”

"What?"

Garfield's brows furrowed slightly, how could Edward come back?

Didn't he know what the consequences of his presence would be?

"Take me to him."

"Yes!"

The other side.

"Damn it!"

Alphonse cursed in a low voice, turned his head to look at the alchemy puppet following him, and silently recited the incantation, and the blazing fireball instantly burned the puppet that he had spent so much energy to ashes.

"If it weren't for that guy...... If it weren't for him, my father wouldn't have been so disappointed! ”

Alphonse clenched his fists, and in his mind was Edward's face, because of his amazing talent since childhood, everyone would compare Edward and Alphonse every time, and in front of him, Alphons's alchemical level was overshadowed.

If he hadn't caught the sore foot of his impure blood, kicked him out of the family, and even deprived him of the right to use the surname "Hohenheim", I am afraid that his inheritance would have been really dangerous.

A servant with a numb face walked over: "Young Master Alphonse." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The eldest young master is back."

Alphonse was stunned for a moment and said categorically: "This can't be!" ”

"But it's true! The lord has passed! ”

"Lead the way!"

Alphonse immediately became nervous, his face extremely gloomy, and his already terrible mood became even worse.

Damn it......

Could it be because he knew about this side of the matter, so he ran back to fight for the inheritance?

No, it will never be given to him, the Hohenheim family, must not be inherited by him!

At the gate of the manor, Donne, Elia, Angus, and Edward were standing, and Garfield had just arrived, looking at his son, whom he hadn't seen in years, with a stiff expression on his face.

There are surprises, worries, joys, and sadness......

Don stared at him for a long time, and he still felt a little weird.

This thing is not called von Hohenheim, but Garfield Hohenheim...... Is it because the first name has too few words and is not enough?

"You shouldn't have come back."

After being silent for a long time, Garfield said lightly: "You know what Alphons's attitude is towards you. ”

"I have no intention of fighting him for inheritance."

Edward directly stated his attitude: "I only came back this time because my teacher had something to consult Grandpa. ”

"But he doesn't think so, he only sees you as a threat."

"I've ditched the surname Hohenheim."

Edward sighed, "Even so, is he still not at ease?" ”

Garfield said flatly: "I know him, he will never be at ease without the inheritance, maybe in his eyes, even I am his hindrance." ”

"He's too ambitious."

"That's a good thing, at least it will ensure that the Hohenheim family will become stronger."

"Too much ambition will only bring destruction."

"The Hohenheim family is not afraid of threats."

After Garfield finished speaking, his gaze fell on the others: "These are your friends?" Although I really want to entertain them, it is not convenient for outsiders to enter the family now. ”

Seeing that his father skipped this topic, Edward had no choice but to put away the worries in his heart and began to introduce Don and them: "Maybe you will change your mind, this is the teacher I just worshipped, I think you should be familiar with his name, he is the legendary hero who saved Purlandal, Angus Shuval Master of the Miracle Hand." ”

"Angus, Hand of Miracles!"

Garfield's eyes seemed to widen a little, and a smile appeared on his face: "Are you really Master Angus?" ”

Angus smiled slightly: "I don't think anyone dares to pretend to be an old man like me now." ”

"I didn't expect it to be the master in person, it's really a sin to miss the distance...... But the Hohenheim family is not open to the public now, so ......"

Donn felt very surprised, no matter how proud Garfield was and how powerful the Hohenheim family was, he didn't dare to put on a show in front of Angus, after all, standing in front of him was the legendary hero who saved Purandal, and he was a hero that all races must pay respect!

And now he actually refused Angus access to the manor?

Don was happy in his heart, he didn't expect that Angus, who had such a big face, would not be easy to do here.

Garfield's attitude made Angus feel very unhappy, and he was about to speak, when he heard Garfield say: "If the master is willing, we can arrange a residence for the master to stay nearby for a few days, and we can exchange experiences in alchemy." ”

The smiling Angus neither refused nor agreed, but just smiled and perfunctory him.

With Angus in front, the transformed Don and the little girl Ilia were completely ignored by Garfield, in his opinion, Don and Illya might be Angus's other two apprentices, so they didn't care at all.

"Father!"

At this time, Alphonse hurried to the door, and after shouting, his eyes were firmly locked on Edward, a trace of panic and vigilance flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly said sarcastically: "Edward, why didn't you bring your tin can this time?" ”

The expression on Edward's face was a little complicated: "Alphonse...... Long time no see. ”

Obviously, he was such a lively and lovely brother at the beginning......

Don was stunned, and the armor puppet had the same name?

Alphonse roared with a gloomy face, "Don't call me by my name! You broke your oath! How dare you, a, step into the territory of the Hohenheim family!? Get out of here! ”

Garfield's face sank: "Alphonse! There are guests here, don't be presumptuous! ”

"Father, don't forget your promise."

Alphonse reminded Garfield, who immediately fell silent.

Edward looked directly at Alphons, his face faintly sad: "I have no intention of competing with you for the inheritance. ”

Why did you get to this point......

"But that's not what you're doing."

Alphonse sneered, and a blazing fireball suddenly appeared in his hand: "Do you think I don't dare to kill you!?" ”

"Alphonse!"

Garfield, who was suddenly furious: "Get back to me!" It's not your turn to go wild here! ”

"Die!"

Ignoring Garfield's warning, Alphonse roared and threw a scorching fireball.

The blazing fireball whistled towards Edward, and Garfield only had time to reach out for the mage's hand to intercept it, only to deflect the fireball a little - the lock of the fireball was broken and flew straight towards Donn.

Nima!

Don is messy in the wind, does this count as being shot while lying down?

Is it neutralized and dropped? Or brute-force it? Or fly out?

Before he even thought about what to do with the fireball, the fireball had already triggered the power of the arcane enchantment, and suddenly the fireball flew back with a roar several times the speed before, and exploded on Alphonse's body with a bang!

"Alphonse!"

Garfield saw the afterglow of the magic power on Donn's body, and immediately gasped, and exclaimed, "Seventh-order spell arcane enchantment!?" Supreme!? (To be continued.) )
