Chapter 205 Family Secrets

"You want to talk about the Book of Truth?" Xie Lin sneered, with a cold look in his eyes, "No wonder, as an alchemy family pursuing 'transcendence of eternity', how could they not be tempted by the Book of Truth, the supreme book of alchemy?"

"Don't get me wrong," Eleanor bit her lower lip subconsciously, "I mean, every alchemist must be tempted by the Book of Truth, and I am no exception, but I can swear that I have no intention of taking it by force. If you are willing to give it up, I can promise you a generous return on behalf of my family, and it will definitely satisfy you."

Xie Lin 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. There are only a few greatest secrets in this world that are equivalent to it, such as the holy fire forging technique of the fairies, the star observation and fortune-telling of the centaurs, and the magic of the gods. "Honestly," Schelling said calmly, "I have no doubt about the strength and historical heritage of the Hohenheim family, but your words may be attractive to other pure-blood families in the UK, but in my case..." Schelling said softly, "I have everything I need. Money, power, fame, and knowledge are all at my fingertips. Do you think you can impress me?" "Unless..." Schelling smiled evilly, "Exchange the core inheritance of your family - human alchemy?" Schelling said to himself without even looking at Eleanor's pale face, "As far as I know, Mr. Flamel's Book of Truth is actually only the first half. He can make the Sage's Book of Truth. The stone is just an unrepeatable coincidence, and his Philosopher's Stone is flawed, so his body and soul are inevitably aging..."

Xellin raised his head and stared at Eleanor with a dazzling brilliance in his eyes. His powerful aura made the latter's breath choke. "The second half of the Book of Truth is hidden in your family, right?"

Eleanor was stared at by Xielin. Even though she had a good attainment in brain occlusion, she felt a slight dizziness in her mind. She closed her eyes and took a breath before opening her eyes and said, "It's not surprising that you would think so. After all, the secret of the Book of Truth being divided into two is very few people know, and it is even more top secret in the hands of Mr. Flamel..."

She showed a very helpless bitter smile, "Originally, the second half of the Book of Truth was indeed the inheritance of the Hohenheim family. , but in his later years, the ancestor Paraser went crazy for some reason and lost it——" She shook her head, "Whether you believe it or not, this is an ironclad fact. This incident caused a big disturbance in the family, and all of the achievements and reputation of the ancestor Paraser were erased by the family as punishment. This is why there are only a few words about the life of the ancestor Paraser in history books and even on chocolate frog picture cards..."

(Note: There is only one sentence in Paraser's chocolate frog picture card: Paraser is a mysterious wizard, and the world knows very little about him.)

"Later, the family used the power of the entire family to find all those who had read this book, and used force or money or other prices as an exchange to exchange their memories of the contents of the book, and only then was they able to restore 40% of the contents of the book. Strictly speaking, if the contents of the upper and lower parts of the Book of Truth are equal, the inheritance owned by the Hohenheim family is actually only a mere 20%. "

"For so many years, the family has spent a lot of time and effort trying to find the lost parts, but nothing was gained. A lot of manpower and time were wasted in vain, and this time and manpower... could have been used to conduct alchemy research and enhance the family's strength..."

"Later, a family investment error caused a lot of losses, and even a cash flow crisis. The family had no choice but to cooperate with other pure-blood families in business, and then inevitably became involved with the secret organization Walpurgis... In fact, the purpose of my family has always been to pursue the ultimate in alchemy. Those who fight for power and create wars are definitely not what the family wants. So for so many years, the family has tried to get rid of the influence of Walpurgis, but facing such a mysterious and powerful behemoth, it is powerless..."

"This time I was sent out to deal with you, and it was also a compromise of the family under helplessness, but--" Eleanor looked at Xie Lin with a sharp eye, "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 insisted on fighting against it, and you created a miracle of successfully fighting against them..." "Do you know how well we prepared for the Christmas ball that night? Whether it was Meng Luo's dancing skills, the black fluttering flower, or her combination of "Sword Heart" and "Phantom Eyes", everyone in the organization unanimously believed that there was no possibility of failure, but you did it. In my heart, it was so incredible!"

"I know the purpose of your coming today is to form an alliance with us." Eleanor looked at Sherrin with hot eyes, "We are also very happy to form an alliance with you. Malfoy and Hohenheim are the leaders of Derry and Great Britain respectively. A strong family, our alliance is enough to stir up new turmoil and open up a new situation in the European wizarding world; and the exchange of alchemy between you and me may also create a brand new school; not to mention, now we still have A common and powerful enemy, our alliance is actually beneficial without any harm..."

"The Book of Truth has long been lost. The family's only remaining inheritance was collected bit by bit by the family. It took them three centuries and even reached out to the taboo field of necromantic alchemy before they could barely touch it. The threshold of 'refining the human body', but the distance from 'refining the soul' is still far away... After spending such a huge price, this part of the inheritance cannot be exchanged in any case..."

Xie Lin smiled nonchalantly, "That's okay, the deal has fallen through. I already have the Philosopher's Stone, and I don't have much desire for the alchemy of immortality. The entire Book of Truth is to me , it’s just a treasure trove of knowledge that can enhance my alchemy. I’m quite satisfied with the first half.”

"Wait a minute," Eleanor bit her lower lip subconsciously again, "I have another proposal..."
