Chapter 203: Hoinheim
Hoinheim is undoubtedly the one who connects everything. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In fact, he is more of a protagonist than the Elric brothers.
From humble beginnings, he was just a slave in the kingdom of Keseluks, but by chance, he used his blood to give birth to the flask villain, the source of all evil.
In fact, this flask figure has a lot of knowledge in its own right, and according to the final plot, it can be speculated that it escaped from the Gate of Truth, and its purpose from beginning to end was to obtain all knowledge, devour the Gate of Truth, and become an all-knowing and all-powerful god.
And in order to carry out this plan, a long life is indispensable, and the stupid king of Keseluxes longs for immortality, so he carried out a lot of massacres according to the plan of the flask villain, and in the name of opening a canal, let the people build a circular passage to surround the whole country, that is, the land refining array.
A few years later, at the moment of the eclipse, Keseluxes finally paid for his stupidity.
All his preparations were made for the flask villain, the entire population of the country died, and the soul was gathered into the flask villain's body, of course, only half.
The other half entered Hohenheim's body, giving him an almost "immortal" life.
Of course, even if Hoinheim received such a great benefit, he was not happy at all, but almost had a nervous breakdown.
Later, Hohenheim began a long life of solitude, traveling from place to place, and finally to Amerstolis, where he met the gentle Theresa, and the two married and gave birth to the Elric brothers.
After that, though, he rarely stayed at home, in fact, because he had discovered the horror of the flask villain's purpose - it wanted to refine the horror that had happened in Keseluxes into one more attack in Amestories!
This is something that Hohenheim absolutely cannot tolerate, so for the rest of the time, he will communicate with the soul in his body on the one hand, and start preparing his own plan on the other.
It can be said that without Hohenheim's years of hard work, the flask villain would have really succeeded in the end, and the country would have become a ghost with no survivors.
And now, Edward was leading the people to Kanama to meet Hoinheim.
"You're here, Ed. When Hohenheim saw Edward, he put down the baked potatoes in his hand, and just as he turned his head to say something, he was punched and sent flying.
"Whew, it's so much easier. Edward rubbed his wrist, his face unchanged.
"Isn't it too much to hit someone suddenly!" Hoinheim got up dissatisfied, "And it's still with his right hand!"
"Cut!"
"But you've got a lot more companions......" Hohenheim's gaze swept over the crowd.
Li Lingyi also looked at Hoinheim quietly at this time, and the man in front of him could be said to be the second strongest man in this world, second only to the flask villain.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he buried many of the Sage Stones in his body in the ground in order to build an anti-land refining array, he would not have been easily defeated by the flask villain in the end.
But even so, his combat power is still unquestionable, after living for so many years, his understanding of alchemy has already reached the extreme, and ordinary androids can be said to be no match for him at all.
"Hey, I'm the boss of this guy. Gullid was clearly very dissatisfied with the title of his companion.
"This isβ" Hohenheim took two steps forward, "my son is taken care of by you." β
"Oh, he's a megalomaniacal little ghost. β
"Hey!"
"Tattoos are special. Hohenheim said suddenly.
"Ah, this. Gullid raised his left hand, and on the back of his hand was a distinct Ouroboros tattoo, "It seems that I can't hide it if I want to." Uncle, you have to tell everything you know. β
"Tomorrow is the appointed day. Edward said solemnly, after this series of investigations, he already knew that tomorrow the country's conspiracy would be launched.
In fact, Li Lingyi didn't confirm it before, after all, he didn't know if the date would also change if the plot changed.
After all, this "appointed day" does not have a fixed date, but is mainly based on the weather situation, and in the plot, the day of the solar eclipse represents the arrival of the agreed day. Because only in this kind of weather can the land refining array exert its maximum effect.
And now, hearing Edward's words, Li Lingyi naturally knew that the appointed day, the final battle would be tomorrow.
"Ahh Hohenheim nodded, "I'll tell you all." β
It took nearly two hours for Hohenheim to explain the cause and effect of the whole thing clearly, although Li Ling knew it early on, but he still listened carefully.
As for the others, although they were prepared, they were all shocked when they really heard such a terrifying and evil plan.
Edward, in particular, trembled slightly, obviously angry to the extreme.
"It's not as easy to accept as Al. Hohenheim said, Edward was stunned and asked, "Did you tell Al too?!"
"yes, I think he's going to have a lot of his own ideas. But he accepted it anyway. β
After speaking, Hohenheim pointed to his body, "This is the Philosopher's Stone you want, do you want to use it?"
"What are you kidding?!" Edward stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "That's the lives of people who have nothing to do with it!
"......," Hohenheim was silent for a moment, then smiled with relief, "It's great that I have a son who can say that." β
ββ¦β¦β
Li Lingyi was also silent, he admitted that Edward's words were right, but he did not intend to do so.
The souls imprisoned in the Philosopher's Stone can only be liberated if they are consumed, so how can they be consumed?
If the physical bodies of those souls were still there, Li Lingyi would not hesitate to take out the energy in the Philosopher's Stone and bring them back to life.
But now, a hundred years later, the Quesai Luxes are long gone, and even the country is covered in desert, not to mention those who have died. Not to mention the flesh, I'm afraid there are not even bones left.
In this case, no matter what way is used, the soul in the Philosopher's Stone cannot be resurrected, but can only be consumed to enter reincarnation.
Edward's choice was not to use it, at least not for his own use.
But Li Lingyi decided to use these philosopher's stones to open the door, he wanted to live, he could only make himself stronger, just like Mastan used the philosopher's stone in order to restore the light, Li Lingyi also used it for the "future" that must not be lost.
This notion is unshakable in any way.
