Chapter 178 Assassin Brotherhood
Facing the hooded man, Purficott raised his eyebrows, then nodded and said: "If you are talking about the perfect life form or the Philosopher's Stone, You have indeed found it.”
As the crowning masterpiece of his parents, Perficott clearly knows his existence as a perfect living being.
This is the highest achievement in the field of human body training, allowing a life to reach the most perfect state. It is the highest goal pursued by all alchemists who study human body training, and the Philosopher's Stone is the ultimate goal of all alchemists. The highest achievement that all warlocks strive for.
And now, in this room, there are two masterpieces that are the highest achievements for alchemists.
From this point forward, the Hooded Man does indeed find the legacy of Purficott's parents, the crowning achievement they left behind.
"I have to say that Mr. Brandlis is a great alchemist. Together with your mother, he completed the two supreme achievements of alchemy." The hooded man's tone remained calm, There was no expression on the face covered by the hood, but Purficott could still hear the reverence and regret he expressed in his words: "Can you please tell me how your father died?"
Perfect was always wary of the hooded man in front of her, but when he asked about her father, she still answered the question out of respect.
"He died in an accident while refining the Philosopher's Stone. The alchemy ritual went berserk at that time, and he and his mother died trying to save me." Purficott's voice also had no emotion, but this incident To some extent, it was still a memory she didn't want to mention.
So after answering this question, Purficott looked at the hooded man and asked him: "So what is your purpose? If you are my father's friend, then I am very happy. If you come to pay your respects to him, I will entertain you if there is no ill will.
But if you are here for the purpose of plundering my father's inheritance, or if you want to use the perfect life form and the Philosopher's Stone for research, then I will have no choice but to turn you into stone. ”
As she spoke, she touched the golden wand in her hand on the oak desk, and a gray-white line spread from the table in front of Purficott towards the hooded man.
Dougou The man in the hat couldn't help but his eyes changed. Of course he could see that this was the flesh-to-petrification technique that Purficott's mother was very good at, and Purficott had obviously mastered this technique
He didn't dare to neglect it. , if you really fall for this trick, if you don’t have a powerful alchemist to unlock it for you, you will really turn into stone for the rest of your life
So he quickly explained: "Please don't get me wrong. The purpose of my coming is just to investigate the cause of death of your parents. ”
Hearing what the hooded man said, the extending gray-white thin line stopped, but did not retract. It just spread around the hooded man's body like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to attack, like an arc. He gathered around the spot.
"Investigating the cause of death of my parents? They have been dead for almost four years. Isn't it too late for you to investigate now?" Purficott showed a suspicious look, although he felt that the person in front of him did not It was a lie, but she didn't think it was true.
"Maybe the way I entered caused you to misunderstand, but I really didn't mean any harm." The hooded man explained sincerely, and also explained to Purficott: "I was on the 5th. Years ago, I accepted a special mission and went to the Eastern Kingdom. I only recently completed the mission and returned to Longton. I learned about the death of your parents, so I came here to pay homage to my old friend. However, Brandless Manor was empty. One person, and there are guards stationed outside, which makes me very confused
I am worried that there is something wrong with the death of your parents, so I sneaked into the manor.
As a result, I didn't expect you to come back at this time, which caused unnecessary misunderstandings. "
Listening to the hooded man's words, Purficott nodded slightly. This explanation made sense, but she did not believe the hooded man in front of her.
She He just stood up with a cold face, always holding his Midas Philosopher's Rod in his hand, and the Midas Philosopher's Rod has been maintaining the gray and white line of flesh and blood, and has no intention of relaxing his vigilance.
"Let's forget about you. Everything you say is true, but how do you prove that you are really my father's friend and not an assassin hiding next to him? "Perfect looked at the hooded man's outfit, and always had a sense of déjà vu.
However, the hooded man nodded simply, affirmative. He replied: "I am indeed an Assassin, an Assassin working for the Assassin Brotherhood. ”
"Assassin Brotherhood? You wouldn't say that your enemies are the Templars. They want to use ancient relics to rule all mankind, right?" Purficott felt a strong sense of déjà vu, and even felt that this guy only needed the next answer. "Yes", she went to the Mediterranean to dig for underwater ruins overnight!
But fortunately, the other party expressed doubts: "What are the Templars? A secret organization of the Knights Association? But I remember that the secret organization they formed should not be called the Black Knights? And they are just loyalists. The party has no intention of ruling the world, and there are no ancient relics."
"Is that so? Maybe I remembered it wrong." Perficott felt something appear on his forehead. There was no cold sweat, but he still asked the hooded man in front of him: "If I heard correctly, the Assassin Brotherhood you mentioned should be aimed at the Knights Association, then you... and my father want to overthrow the royal family? This Does my mother know about this? "
With Purficott's intelligence, even if her mind suddenly wandered, she still quickly discovered the key to the hooded man's words.
This surprised her. Her father was actually related to an organization that intended to overthrow the royal rule, and her mother was a close friend of the royal princess.
This relationship is a bit too exciting. How did the two of them get married and give birth to themselves?
Perfect felt that her brain was a little exhausted, and she also discovered a key problem: "My father has been dead for almost four years. If he has any dealings with your Assassin Brotherhood, what will happen if he has contact with you?" Your organization hasn’t sent anyone to take a look in four years? Do you have to wait until you come back from the Eastern Kingdom to investigate the cause of my father’s death?”
“It’s a long story, but you Their parents are aware of the existence of the Assassin Brotherhood, and in a certain sense they are one of the founders of the Assassin Brotherhood." The hooded man told an explosive fact, and he also explained. Said: "The Assassin Brotherhood did send people to investigate at the beginning, but because you drove away all the servants in the manor, leaving only the loyal old housekeeper, it was difficult for the Assassin Brotherhood to get close to them, so for them I don't believe the results of the investigation.
And I also want to pay tribute to my old friend, so I sneaked into Brandlis Manor. If you are offended, I am willing to do something for you. To repay.”
