"What you want to say is the Book of Truth, right?" Xie Lin sneered, and there was a coldness in his eyes. "It's no wonder that as an alchemy family that pursues 'transcending eternity', how could it care about the Book of Truth, the supreme treasure of alchemy?" Not at all tempted?"

"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 didn't force it. If you are willing to give up your love, I can promise you a generous return on behalf of my family, which 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 can compete with it." Equivalent, such as the art of forging with holy fire of fairies, the art of stargazing and fortune-telling of centaurs, the music magic of mermaid sirens, etc., but I don’t think the Hohenheim family can afford the price to make my heart move.”

"To be honest," Schelling said calmly: "I have no doubt about the strength and historical heritage of the Hohenheim family, but your words may still be quite attractive to other pure-blood families in the UK. , but here I am——" Xie Lin said softly: "I have nothing lacking around me. Money, power, fame, and knowledge are all at my fingertips. What else do you think you can do to impress me? ?"

"Unless -" Xie Lin smiled strangely, "in exchange for your family's core inheritance - human alchemy?" Xie Lin didn't even look at Eleanor's pale face, and said to himself: " As far as I know, Mr. Flamel's Book of Truth actually only has the first half. His ability to create the Philosopher's Stone is just an unreplicable coincidence, and his Philosopher's Stone is defective, so his body and The soul is inevitably aging..."

Xie Lin raised his head and stared at Eleanor with a captivating light flashing in his eyes. The powerful aura made the latter's breath suffocate, "The second half of the Book of Truth is hidden in your family." Over there?"

Eleanor was stared at by Xie Lin like this. Even though she had good attainments in Occlumency, she felt a slight dizziness in her head. She closed her eyes and took a breath, then opened her eyes and said, "You know how? It’s not surprising to think so. After all, the secret of the Book of Truth being split into two is known to very few people, and the fact that it is in the hands of Mr. Flamel is even more top-secret..."

She showed an extremely helpless smile, "Originally, the second half of the Book of Truth was indeed inherited from the Hohenheim family, but in his later years, our ancestor Palaser went crazy and lost it. -" She shook her head, "Whether you believe it or not, this is an ironclad fact. This incident caused a great turmoil in the family, and all the achievements and reputation of the ancestor Paraser were wiped out by the family. As punishment, this is the reason why there are only a few words about the life of ancestor Palaser in the history books and even on the chocolate frog picture cards..."

(Note: There is only one sentence in Pallaser's chocolate frog picture: Pallaser is a mysterious wizard, and very little is known about him.)

"Later, the family mobilized the whole family to find all the people who had read this book, and forced them to use force, or exchanged money or other prices for their memory of the contents of the book, and then they reluctantly restored it. Forty percent of the content of this 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%."

"Over the years, the family has spent a lot of effort trying to recover the lost parts, but has found nothing. It has wasted a lot of manpower and time in vain, and this time and manpower... could have been used to conduct alchemical research and improve the family. Strong..."

She sighed, "Later, an investment mistake of the family caused a lot of losses, and even a cash flow crisis. The family had no choice but to enter into business cooperation with other pure-blood families, and then it was inevitable The earth has become involved with the secret organization Walpurgis... In fact, the purpose of my family has always been to pursue the ultimate in alchemy. Fighting for power and creating war is definitely not what the family wants, so over the years, the family has also I tried to get rid of the influence of Walpurgis, but in the face of such a mysterious and powerful behemoth, I was powerless..."

"This time I was sent out to deal with you, it was also a compromise made by the family out of desperation, but -" Eleanor looked at Xie Lin with piercing eyes, "In you, I see the way to get rid of Walpurgis." Hope. 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 fully prepared we were on the night of the Christmas Ball - whether it was Monro's dancing skills, the black flapping flower, or her secret combination of 'Sword Heart' and 'Phantom Eyes' , everyone in the organization unanimously believes that there is no possibility of failure, but you just did it - in my heart, how incredible that is!"

"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 nothing more than a treasure trove of knowledge that can enhance my alchemy, I’m quite content to have the first half.”

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