Chapter 698

Hornheim estate.

A young red haired man stood in the sun with a confident smile. There was a white round table under the shade of the tree next to him. Next to the table sat a middle-aged man with red hair. Their faces were very similar.

The young man pointed to the figure beside him and said, "father, this is the puppet figure I have just refined these days. Please evaluate it."

The middle-aged man put down his tea cup, glanced casually and said faintly: "The defense of the place where the magic core is filled in the chest is too weak. If it is a combat doll, it will be easily destroyed by the Ranger. If it is a working doll, the treatment of the spherical joint is not perfect, which will lead to the failure of the doll in the working process and slow action efficiency. In addition, you have some defects in the design of the Magic Channel..."

The middle-aged man just glanced and found four or five problems, which made the proud young man freeze there.

This is his proud work. Unexpectedly, it is full of defects in his father's eyes.

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Alphons, my son, you still need to continue to work hard. If you are only at this level, the hornheim family can't give it to you, and your grandfather won't agree."

Alphons hornheim shook his fist, lowered his head and said, "yes, father."

The red haired middle-aged man is the patriarch of the hornheim family and the biological father of Alphons and Edward, Garfield hornheim, a master magician and senior alchemist.

Looking at Alfons who turned away, Garfield sighed gently, and his eyes looking at the sky were a little confused.

If it were Edward, it would be better

Edward's emergence is a miracle, but it is also a mistake. His alchemy talent is so excellent that Garfield once thought that he should really inherit the hornheim family.

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

Edward was forced away by alvons, but he couldn't stop it, because he was a concubine, his mother was just an unidentified maid, and Edward inherited more of his mother's blood, and that blond hair was a symbolic feature.

In this ancient family inherited for thousands of years, blood lineage is highly valued. When selecting a wife, every child of the hornheim family will follow a strict test standard. The woman must have high enough magic talent and pass many tests to obtain the qualification to marry into the hornheim family.

On the one hand, this is to ensure the excellence of the hornheim family blood. On the other hand, it is also because the gods punished their family - the immediate descendants of the hornheim family, and the fertility rate is very low.

That's why Garfield said Edward's birth was a miracle.

The housekeeper with a numb face came over: "master, the young master is back."

Garfield frowned slightly: "I know. He'll be back long ago."

"No, I'm not talking about master Alphons, it's master Edward. Master Edward came back with his friends."

"What?"

Garfield frowned slightly. How did Edward come back?

Doesn't he know what consequences his appearance will bring?

"Take me to him."

"Yes!"

The other side.

"Damn it!"

Alphonse cursed in a low voice, turned his head and looked at the alchemy doll beside him, recited the curse silently, and the flaming fireball burned the doll he had spent a lot of energy to ashes in an instant.

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

Alphonse clenched his fist and remembered Edward's face. Because of his amazing talent since childhood, everyone would compare Edward with Alphonse every time. In front of him, Alphonse's Alchemy level was eclipsed.

If he had not caught the painful foot of his impure blood, expelled him from the family, and even deprived him of the right to use the surname "hornheim", I'm afraid his inheritance would be really dangerous.

A servant with a numb face came over: "master Alphonse."

"What's up?"

"The young master is back."

Alphonse was stunned for a moment and said flatly, "it's impossible!"

"But it's true! The master has passed!"

"Lead the way!"

Alphonse immediately became nervous, his face was extremely gloomy, and his already bad mood became worse.

Damn it

Is it because I know what's going on here, so I came back to compete for inheritance?

No, absolutely not to him, the hornheim family, must not be inherited by him!

At the gate of the manor, Donne, Elia, Angus and Edward were standing there. Garfield had just arrived here and looked at his son he hadn't seen for years. His face was a little stiff.

There are surprises, worries, happiness and sadness

Donne stared at him for a long time, and now he still feels a little strange.

It's not von hornheim, but Garfield hornheim... Is it because the first name has too few words?

"You shouldn't have come back."

After a long silence, Garfield said faintly, "you know what Alphonse's attitude towards you is."

"I have no intention of competing with him for inheritance."

Edward directly expressed his attitude: "I just came back this time because my teacher wanted to consult grandpa about something."

"But he doesn't think so. He will only see you as a threat."

"I've abandoned the name hornheim."

Edward sighed, "even so, is he still worried?"

Garfield said plainly: "I know him. If he doesn't get the inheritance right, he will never be at ease. Maybe in his eyes, even I am his obstacle."

"His ambition is too great."

"This is a good thing. At least it will ensure that the hornheim family becomes stronger."

"Too much ambition will only bring destruction."

"The hornheim family is not afraid of threats."

Garfield said, his eyes fell on the others: "these are your friends? Although I want to entertain them, it's not convenient for outsiders to enter the family."

Seeing his father skip this topic, Edward had to put aside his worries and began to introduce Donne: "maybe you will change your mind. This is the teacher I just visited. I think you should not be unfamiliar with his name. He is the legendary hero who saved prandal and the master of Angus shuval miracle hand."

"The hand of miracles, Angus!"

Garfield's eyes seemed to open wider and a smile came out of his face: "are you really master Angus?"

Angus smiled: "I think no one dares to pretend to be an old man."

"I didn't expect that the master came in person. It's a sin to lose the welcome... But the hornheim family is not convenient to open to the outside world now, so..."

Donne felt very surprised. No matter how proud Garfield was and how strong the hornheim family was, he didn't dare to play tricks in front of Angus. After all, standing in front of him was the legendary hero who saved prandal and must be respected by all races!

Now he refuses Angus to enter the manor?

Donne was so happy that he didn't expect that Angus, who has so much face, can't work here.

Garfield's attitude made Angus feel very unhappy. As soon as he wanted to talk, he heard Garfield say: "if the master wants, we can arrange a residence nearby for the master to stay for a few days and exchange experiences in alchemy."

Angus with a smile neither refused nor promised, but smiled perfunctorily at him.

With Angus in front, the deformed Donne and little girl Elia are completely ignored by Garfield. In his opinion, Donne and Elia may be the other two apprentices of Angus, so don't care at all.

"Father!"

At this time, Alphonse hurried to the door. After shouting, his eyes were firmly locked on Edward. There was a flash of panic and vigilance in his eyes. Then he suddenly said sarcastically, "Edward, why didn't you bring your iron can this time?"

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

Mingming was such a lively and lovely brother

Don en was stunned and had a name with the armored puppet?

Alfons growled with a gloomy face, "don't call my name! You broke your oath! You bitch dare to step into the territory of the hornheim family!? get out!"

Garfield's face sank: "Alfons! Don't be presumptuous when there are guests!"

"Father, don't forget your promise."

Alphonse reminded Garfield that Garfield was silent immediately.

Edward looked straight at Alphonse with a faint sadness on his face: "I have no intention of competing with you for inheritance."

Why did you get to this point

"But that's not what you did."

Alphonse sneered, and suddenly a hot fireball came out of his hand: "do you think I dare not kill you?"

"Alvons!"

Garfield was suddenly angry: "get back to me! You can't be wild here!"

"Go to hell!"

Alfons ignored Garfield's warning and roared and threw a hot fireball.

The fiery fireball roared towards Edward. Garfield only had time to reach out the mage's hand and intercept it. He just deflected the fireball a little - the lock of the fireball was broken and flew straight to Donne.

Fuck NIMA!

Donne is messy in the wind. Is this lying down and shot?

Is it neutralization? Or crack it violently? Or fly out?

He didn't even think about how to deal with the fireball. The fireball had triggered the power of arcane enchantment. Suddenly, the fireball roared back at several times the speed before, hit Alphonse and exploded!

"Alvons!"

Garfield, seeing the magic afterglow on Donne, suddenly took a breath of air-conditioning and exclaimed: "seventh level magic and arcane boundary?! supreme level!?"
