Schutz III

"However, Suwell's nightmare is not over yet!" Jacob's lips pressed together fiercely.He thought of the family history that he had been ordered to memorize by his parents since he was a child, and the glory of the No. 15 Patriarch who turned the tide from the family crisis and pushed the family to a new height, and the family's gradual decline.

"Patriarch No.15 has amazing attainments in alchemy. He even interpreted the famous '7 pictures' in the alchemy scripture "Book of Abraham" alone." Jacob's eyes ignited frenzy, "The family has recovered again. Glory is my wish."

"Oh? So you want to be like your fifteenth Patriarch?" Sidi raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, Jacob shook his head, "I want to do better than him!" He stepped forward and looked at Sidi devoutly, "My lord, you will help me!"

Although Sidi had seen many devout believers before, she still froze for a moment when she faced Jacob's eyes that looked like a wolf seeing things.He didn't want to continue this topic, because Byrne had already asked him to investigate the matter, and he didn't want to get the "reward of love" from Byrne Sensen after helping the evildoers; moreover, more importantly, the man in front of him was the villain's cannon fodder. The field is so thick that even if he wants to help him, he doesn't know where to start!So he asked, "Then what about the delicious soul that you promised, you have to let me inspect the product first!"

"Of course," Jacob nodded, "You can choose now!"

All the way along the dark corridor, thinking about the underground secret room, Jacob's face turned serious.Maybe it's because there is an incomparable opportunity to realize her wish, so it is very important for Sidi to choose a soul that suits her taste!

He opened the door as usual, and the smell of blood inside seemed to dissipate a little.Because he was worried that his scarred body would affect Sidi's appetite, he didn't do anything unrestrained like usual when he came here last time, but just took some materials that he wanted to use appropriately.

Sidi followed Jacob in, passing the tool tables full of instruments, so Sidi asked with interest, "Are you always studying alchemy?"

"Yes, almost no one in the family has the magic power in the blood of their ancestors." Jacob smiled bitterly. "Only by specializing in alchemy can there be a glimmer of hope for revival. That's what I think."

"You're thinking right." Sidi smiled, then frowned slightly, the smell of blood seemed to be getting stronger.You know, the devil's sense of smell is very sensitive, and the devil can tell the deliciousness of the soul from a distance by relying on the smell, not to mention the taste of blood that cannot be concealed.He turned his head to look at the man beside him, and said in a pleasant voice, "The appearance of the food... is also very important."

Jacob didn't explain anything, he just replied, "It will satisfy you."

Sidi watched as Jacob turned to the left front and stopped and stood there.After Jacob walked in, he thought for a while, then took out the key and quickly opened the doors of several compartments.He looked at the six teenagers standing in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go," he said to the teenagers, "the time has come to realize your value."

The six teenagers may have been numb by Jacob's torture, and they didn't show any expression when they heard the words, as if they already knew their own fate, but now it's just that the moment has finally arrived.They followed behind Jacob obediently and silently, calmly welcoming what was about to happen.

This man's vision is not bad, Sidi looked at the six small animal-like teenagers, took two steps closer and stretched out his hand to pick up the chin of one of the teenagers, and then moved closer to sniffing the alluring fragrance emanating from the boy's white neck with the tip of his nose. It's a nice soul, he thought.Although the young man had already accepted his fate, when he saw Sidi Momei's face gradually approaching him, he still couldn't help trembling slightly, and his eyes were tightly closed, leaving only his eyes trembling like wings. Eyelashes showed his nervousness.

Seeing the boy's movements, Sidi laughed softly, "This kid is afraid of me!" in a frivolous tone.

Jacob lowered his eyes, "You don't have to worry about these, they are all voluntary."

"Volunteered to sacrifice for the family."

Sidi turned to another boy and asked, "According to you, these children came here with the spirit of voluntary dedication!" He leaned over to the boy's ear, "Then, Are you?"

The boy was silent.Sidi didn't care, he turned and left, and his voice was vaguely heard in Jacob's ears. "I have found the soul that suits my taste the most."

"Fourth to last... compartment."

Jacob froze.

———————Wa is the line of sight turning to Leviathan—————

Leviathan's family emblem is a giant snake wrapped around an upside-down cross, derived from an alchemical symbol; but even Schulz, the patriarch, doesn't know how the family originated, and the few elders who know about it are also right. I will keep my mouth shut.The only thing Shutz knows is that there are many old monsters in the clan; Ganchesi is, Palasasu is, and the chief elder, Weilanova, is even more so!However, without exception, these elders are all in the direct line of the family, and those in the collateral line are all contacted by Villanova.So Shutz didn't know that the battle between the direct and collateral lines of the Leviathan family was about to break out.

Villanova is the first butler since the Leviathan family appeared, and has been serving as the chief elder since then. He is basically in charge of all the affairs of the family.He lives in Bath in southwest England, and every August, people from the offshoots of the family come here to report to him on various affairs.But in August this year, Villanova found that something was wrong. Two branches of the family branch did not come to Bath to report.So he called Ganchesi and Parasasu, who were retreating together, here.

When Ganchesi and Palasasu arrived, Villanova had just finished interviewing the other three branch branches. Seeing them, he couldn't help but frown indifferently. "I'm afraid things are going to go wrong," he said.

Gan Qisi and Palasasu each moved a chair, sat across from him and asked what happened to make him so anxious.

Villanova sighed, and handed the two documents on the desk to the two. "This is the result from the three collateral branches that just left."

"Why, didn't the other two teams come?" Gan Qisi asked while taking the documents.

Villanova shook his head, didn't say anything, but motioned the two of them to watch quickly.This is a report about the recent movement of the Leviathan family's private army, and the faces of Gan Qisi and Palasasu are getting more and more serious.

"They're going too far!" Palasasu frowned, "So now half of the private army has rebelled. Are they trying to rely on force to become strong!"

Gan Qisi was a little puzzled, "The family has given them a lot of power and benefits, so why are they still dissatisfied!"

Villanova smiled wryly, "When there are more attractive things, why would they care about these material things!" He looked at the field outside the window, "They... want to have a life as long as ours. "

Eternal life...? Ganqisi and Palasasu looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.How can eternal life be so easy to pursue? Even those who have lived for thousands of years can't guarantee that they will be able to exist forever in the world. Is it true that people are greedy?

"These two are the ones with the most exposure to alchemy in the collateral line!" Parasasu asked.

"That's right," Villanova nodded, "Both these two branches have sent many alchemists to the direct lineage, and now, those people must have defected!"

"Where is Schulz now?" Ganchez asked.After retreating again, Schultz also ran out, and he hasn't even received a letter yet.

"The patriarch should still be in France now, and he hasn't been told about this yet."

"Don't tell Shutz yet." Parasasu put the crumpled document in his hand back on the table, "The three of us should get ready first."

Villanova said, "I think so too. Although these two collateral lines have both armies and a large number of alchemists, but," he turned to look at the two, "our old bones are not very good. Stubble! They have underestimated us too much!"

"Tsk tsk, you really deserve to be a young man!" Gan Qisi sighed.

These old monsters are really not good people. After such a long life, how can their hands be clean?You know, the first principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange!

———————Watt is the dividing line to realize the transfer back to Aix, France—————

It is said that Schulz and the others were taken by Welf to the collection showroom of the Suwell family after visiting the church.This is an empty basement, the walls are covered with flags of various colors like in the living room, and there are also bust portraits of Suweier's previous family heads hanging on it, among which there are two in the middle.

"The one on the left is the first Patriarch, and the one on the right is the No.15 Patriarch." Welf introduced, "The others are all kinds of collections. You can take a look at them at will."

Schulz and the others looked at these collections along the horizontal glass cabinet, but saw an alchemy atlas in the innermost position.Shutz glanced at Byrne, who asked knowingly, "Mr. Steward, what's the matter with this book? It looks really exquisite."

Welf was somewhat skeptical when he heard the words, "Don't you know what that is?"

Byrne smiled and shook his head, "I don't know, please explain if it's convenient."

Welf lowered his head and thought for a while, and then suddenly smiled, "That is a very ordinary book," he said, "It's just that this book is very cherished by the fifteen heads of the family, so That's why I put it here."

"There's really nothing special about him," he added.

After hearing this, Schulz felt a little concerned.At this time, Welf saw that they had almost seen them, and said, "Please go back to eat, the servants are probably ready."

The group returned to the main house.

The author has something to say:

The past two days are really in a bad state, everyone forgive me.
