Chapter 703 (1/2)
The hornheim family is weird.
Donne and Angus have found this since they came here yesterday.
At first he thought it was just because of the paralyzed servants. When Angus pointed out that the servants were all alchemy dolls, Donne suddenly realized it.
But Edward said these servants were not like that when he was a child.
So Donne took care, and he really found some strange places.
The hornheim family is too quiet.
As the headquarters of a huge family, it covers a huge area. It should be a large and lively family with a large population.
But the number of people at hornheim manor is a little strange.
Even if all the chores are left to the alchemy dolls, there are too few members of the hornheim family as the master. No, it should be said that there are few people at all.
There is a breath of silence and tranquility in the air here.
The strange hornheim manor, Garfield's strange attitude and Alfons's just abnormality all reveal a message to Donne: the hornheim family is strange.
After Alfons was silent for a moment, he whispered, ”there are some things that will be troublesome to know. Are you sure you want to know about hornheim?”
Donne rubbed his chin and said, ”tell me I'm interested and I'm waiting for tea and the theater.”.
After getting rid of the shackles, alvons relaxed and sighed: ”it's been a long time since it was so easy. It may be useful to tell you. After all, you and master Angus are so powerful. Maybe you can solve this problem.”
”Oh?”
Donne looked at him with interest. ”What's the problem?”
”The hornheim family... Is crazy.”
Alphonse stunned Donne with a word: ”crazy?”
”Yes.”
After a moment's silence, Alphonse whispered, ”since they learned that the einzbellen family had obtained immortality in another way, they have gone crazy. Yes, they covet immortality.”
Immortality?
Donne frowned. Immortality in the eyes of mortals may not be true immortality. It may be imprisonment in another sense.
”And then?”
”They planned to kidnap a member of einzbellen during a visit more than ten years ago.”
Alfons said quietly: ”That's what I came across a long time ago. My grandfather... That is, the marathon elder of the six member Presbyterian Church. He led the core members of the family to disassemble the man's body, because einzbellen's human body refining technology was learned from us hornheim, so there is no secret for us. Grandpa can easily find the way to store the core soul Precious stones. ”
”Then the elders tried to reverse decompose the soul gem, dig the secret, and try to obtain the transformation technology of artificial soul from there, but they didn't expect that this was the beginning of the nightmare.”
”In that soul gem, in addition to the man's own soul, there is also a crazy soul!”
At this point, a trace of panic flashed across Alphonse's face: ”Grandpa, they are all crazy! They said that the great existence promise will give them strong power! Eternal life!”
Donne frowned slightly. Alphons said that the situation was very similar to the original dark snake, but the dark snake has now been completely destroyed. Even those wandering claws and teeth have been swept away by the people sent by the Holy See of light. Now the dark snake has completely disappeared from the world.
If it wasn't them, who would it be?
”Now the elders of hornheim are crazy in order to obtain immortality. They began to refine the forbidden human body. Then they took all the servants in the manor as experimental objects and refined them into dolls with human bodies - just to create a perfect body for that existence!”
Alphons said gnashing his teeth: ”even his mother was not spared - those damn bastards, they have been crazy to the extreme! And that damn man, in order to achieve his goal, even his mother abandoned him!”
Polluted soul, refined human body, eternal temptation, perfect body
Donne looked thoughtfully at Elia.
If anyone present is the best fit for the perfect body, Elia is undoubtedly the best choice.
As the reincarnation of the goddess, it is needless to say that the excellence of this body, coupled with the rare magic affinity talent, is as conspicuous as a light in the night for Garfield who desperately want to create a perfect body.
No wonder his attitude changed so quickly yesterday. It turned out that he was playing Elia's idea.
”So? You pretended to be loyal and opposed. In order to protect Edward, you deliberately spoke ill of your brother and drove him out of here?”
Alvons whispered, ”the hornheim family needs someone to pass on. My brother's talent is much better than me. It's more useful to leave him than me.”
Donne looked at him with great admiration. Unexpectedly, this guy was still such a dedicated brother.
”What do you want to do now?”
”I want to purify here!”
