Chapter 205 Family Secrets
"What you want to talk about is the Book of Truth, right?" Xie Lin sneered, with coldness in his eyes, "No wonder, as a family of alchemists who pursue 'beyond eternity', how can they be indifferent to the Book of Truth, the supreme treasure of alchemy?"
"You, don't get me wrong," Eleanor bit her lower lip subconsciously. "I mean, every alchemist must be fascinated by the Book of Truth, and I am no exception. But I can swear that I don't mean to take by force. If you are willing to part with me, I can promise you a generous return on behalf of my family, and I will definitely satisfy you."
Schelling smiled, "A great wizard once told me that the Book of Truth is one of the six great books in the world, and its value is priceless. In this world, there are only a few greatest secrets that are equivalent to it, such as the goblin's holy fire forging technique, the centaur's stargazing and fortune-telling technique, and the music magic of the mermaid siren, etc. But I don't think the Hohenheim family can afford the price that makes my heart flutter."
"To be honest," Schelling said lightly, "I have no doubts about the strength and historical background of the Hohenheim family, but your words may still be quite attractive to other pure-blood families in the UK, but here—" Schelling said softly: "I have everything around me. Money, power, fame, and knowledge are all within my fingertips. Do you think you have anything else that can impress me?"
"Unless—" Xie Lin smiled evilly, "Exchange your family's core inheritance - human alchemy?" Xie Lin did not look at Eleanor's pale face, and said to himself: "As far as I know, Mr. Flamel's book of truth is actually only the first half. It is only a coincidence that he can make the Philosopher's Stone, and his Philosopher's Stone is flawed, so his body and soul are inevitably aging..."
Xie Lin raised his head, staring at Eleanor's eyes with a dazzling light, the powerful aura made the latter gasp, "The second half of the book of truth is hidden in your family, right?"
Eleanor was stared at by Schelling. Although her Occlumency skills were good, she also felt a slight dizziness in her head. She closed her eyes and took a breath, then opened her eyes and said, "It's not surprising that you think so. After all, the secret of the book of truth being divided into two is rarely known, and the fact that it is in the hands of old Mr. LeMay is even more top secret..."
She showed a very helpless wry smile, "Originally, the second half of the Book of Truth is indeed the inheritance of the Hohenheim family, but the patriarch Palaser went crazy and lost it in his later years—" She shook her head, "Believe it or not, this is an undeniable fact. This incident caused a lot of trouble in the family, and all the achievements and reputation of the patriarch Palaser were erased by the family as punishment. On the page, and even on the chocolate frog card, there are only a few reasons why..."
(Note: There is only one sentence in Palather's chocolate frog card: Palather is a mysterious wizard, and the world knows very little about him.)
"Later, the family used the power of the whole family to find all the people who had read this book, whether it was forced by force, or exchanged with money or other price, in exchange for their memory of the content of this book, and then barely restored 40.00% of the content of this book. Strictly speaking, if the contents of the upper and lower parts of the Book of Truth are equivalent, the inheritance owned by the Hohenheim family is actually only a mere 20.00%."
"For so many years, the family has spent a lot of thought trying to retrieve the lost part, but they have found nothing. A lot of manpower and time were wasted, and this time and manpower... could have been used to conduct alchemy research and improve the strength of the family..."
She sighed, "Later, an investment mistake in the family caused a lot of losses, and even a cash flow crisis occurred. The family had no choice but to cooperate with other pure-blood families in business, and then inevitably got involved with the secret organization Walpurgis... In fact, the purpose of my family has always been to pursue the ultimate alchemy. Those fighting for power and creating wars are definitely not what the family wants. Big things, but they are powerless..."
"This time I was sent to deal with you, and it was a compromise of the family's desperation, but—" Eleanor looked at Schelling with piercing eyes, "In you, I saw the hope of getting rid of Walpurgis. In front of this mysterious and powerful organization, you did not choose to surrender, you did not choose to retreat, but persisted in fighting against it, and you even created a miracle of successfully fighting against them..."
"Do you know how well prepared we were on the night of the Christmas ball—whether it's Marilyn's dancing skills, the black fluttering flowers, or her combination of 'Sword Heart' and 'Phantom Eyes', everyone in the organization agreed that there was no possibility of failure, but you just did it—in my heart, how unbelievable it is!"
"I know the purpose of your coming today is to find us to form an alliance." Eleanor looked at Schelling with fiery eyes, "We are also very happy to form an alliance with you. Malfoy and Hohenheim are the strongest families in Derry and Great Britain respectively. Our alliance is enough to stir up a new situation in the European wizarding world and open up a new situation; and the alchemy communication between the two of you may also create a new school; not to mention, now we have a common powerful enemy, and our alliance is really great All benefits and no harm..."
"The Book of Truth has long been lost. The family's only remaining inheritance was collected bit by bit with all its efforts. It took three centuries, and even set foot in the taboo field of necromancy, to barely touch the threshold of 'human body refining', but the 'soul refining' is still far away... After such a huge price, this part of the inheritance cannot be exchanged anyway..."
Xie Lin smiled indifferently, "That's fine, the deal fell through. I already have the Philosopher's Stone, and I don't have much desire for the alchemy of immortality. To me, the entire Book of Truth is just a treasury of knowledge that can enhance my alchemy. I am quite satisfied with the first half."
"Wait a minute," Eleanor subconsciously bit her lower lip again, "I have another proposal..."
