"Ellie, you can think of me when you are in trouble, come here to ask me for help, I am very happy, but before this, I am a teacher, I need to be responsible for my students, I hope you can think rationally about the pros and cons of things, you are my best student, I don't want you to take such a risk. To your friend, I'm sorry that I ...... Didn't help much. The room fell silent, and a faint steam of heat bubbled from the cup full of coffee, and Afimir took a sip and continued, "It may be rude to say this, but I want you to give up this idea, because if you continue to pursue it, it will not only ruin your future, but also yourself and your friends." ”

Ellie sat on the side, quietly listened to the old man's narration, and was a little depressed, when the kind old man in front of her said that she knew this ancient script, she once thought that there was hope, but there was still a big gap between imagination and reality. Perhaps, I should change my approach, this continent is a world full of magical powers, maybe, there will be other ways to cure Cialis, she thought so, as if she had given herself a dose of reassurance, Ellie slowly spoke: "It's okay, teacher, Mr. Simon also told me that there are some things that cannot be touched." ”

"Oh? Have you looked for him? Yes, that old guy teaches alchemy, but he must be crazy after you explain the situation to him. ”

"Indeed...... It's true, I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Simon. "I recall that when I showed the book to Simon, Simon yelled excitedly: 'How can you have his book, I won't tell you anything about it, get out!' Immediately! Right away! Then she was so frightened that Ellie immediately ran out.

"When I showed him the book, Mr. Simon was a little hysterical, excited to say something I didn't understand, and very excited. How did Mr. Afimir know? Ellie put her hands on her chest and said with some trepidation.

When Afimir heard this, he burst out laughing, and his beard trembled with laughter, and he said, "Hasn't that fellow recovered from that incident?" As he spoke, Afmir picked up the codex, "Actually, the author of this book is a very powerful alchemist, at least that's what all our teachers think. ”

"You, do you know?" Ellie was surprised.

"Oh, of course, do you know why Simon was so upset when he heard someone say Tiger Eddic? Because that was his favorite student, he was a genius, and if that didn't happen, he would have been a very famous alchemist, but it's a pity, hey......"

"Excuse me, what the hell is going on? It is...... It's Tiger Eddick, what happened to him? Ellie took a great interest in this senior whom she had never met, and since he was called a genius, he must have been a very remarkable person, and his views on alchemy could be seen just by looking at the two books he had copied by hand.

"I don't know what happened, maybe only his teacher Simon knows, remember that day, when Simon found Tiger, he was already dying and about to die, all his legs below the knee were gone, blood was all over the floor of his house, if Simon had been a step late, maybe he would have died."

"How so?" Ellie was surprised.

"Ellie, maybe Simon once told you about the taboo of human alchemy, and not only that, but alchemists who use human alchemy will also be punished by international law for blaspheming humanity. But none of us were present at the time, except for Simon, who we all knew doted on the child, so Tiger escaped, but unfortunately, he would have to live in a wheelchair from now on. ”

"This must be a secret, can you tell me about it?"

"I just hope you don't go down the old ways of Tiger, and I'm sure you're not a mouthy person, are you, Ellie?" Afimir said with a smile.

"Yes, I won't say it, senior...... It's already pitiful. Ellie didn't know if she needed to pity the senior, because if it was really the loss of his legs because of the forbidden alchemy, it would only be said that he was self-inflicted. Perhaps, Senior Tiger was ready to pay the price at that time. "And where does he live now?"

"I don't know about this, you should ask Old Man Simon. Tiger's only relative, his mother, died 7 years ago, and he has always been raised by Simon. ”

"Also...... Forget it. Ellie thought of Simon's flushed and angry appearance, and dismissed the idea of asking him.

"Can't he recover his leg? I remember that there was a kind of regeneration in the light magic. Ellie remembered a magic from the priest's books, the regeneration of limbs, which was often used.

"Oh, Ellie, you know, the damage caused by alchemy cannot be healed by magic." Afimir explained to Ellie.

Afimir's words startled Ellie, and she remembered that Melina had said that she couldn't find the cause of Ciris's body, and that healing magic was useless, so it turned out to be the reason.

"I see, my friend is not good at using light-based demons, so I want to start from the aspect of alchemy."

"Well, then, there may be something that can help you, but don't hope too much."

"Please tell me ...... teacher"

"You may have heard that there is an alchemical product that alchemists call the Philosopher's Stone, but there is actually another way of saying it, called the Stone of Truth."

"The Stone of Truth? Isn't that a legend? ”

"Ellie, if you think so, then I can tell you solemnly that this is not a legend. Because I had the privilege of seeing a ruby miracle. ”

……

"Excuse me." At the doorway, Ellie bowed to an old man with a long beard in front of her.

"It's nothing, after all, I still haven't helped, I'm really an incompetent teacher."

"No, please don't say that, I'll come back to you when I have the chance."

"Oh, welcome at any time, as long as I can answer." Afimir smiled, and then changed the conversation, "But don't ask such a difficult question next time, otherwise I will have a psychological shadow." ”

Ellie covered her mouth and smiled, "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye, by the way, I hope your friend recovers soon." The old man waved his hand.

"Thank you for your blessings, I will definitely find a cure for her."

Through the advice of Teacher Afimir, Ellie still gave up the secret of finding these ancient characters, although she was very unwilling, she knew that even if she knew the ancient characters and knew the alchemy above, she would not necessarily cure Ciris's body, maybe that trace of unwillingness was her own curiosity to know.

In fact, Ellie didn't know about Cialis's condition, even Cialis herself didn't know, she only knew that it was alchemy, she only saw someone using alchemy on her when she was in a coma, but she continued to coma before she could see that person clearly, and then she woke up again and became like this, and the beautiful blonde hair that she was proud of in the past also turned into a blood-red like a disaster.

Then because of the relationship between the two, she told Ellie everything, but this is already the category of human alchemy, and Ellie, who is only a first-year freshman, will not be clear if she wants to break her head, so she can only hope for the vast collection of books in the library.

Walking along the gravel path of the academy, Ellie reflected on what Teacher Afimir had said to her. She hadn't heard of the thing called the Philosopher's Stone, but before, she thought it was just a legend, because the most important and basic thing in alchemy is the principle of equivalent exchange, and the Stone of Truth in the record can violate this principle, it is the most perfect creation of alchemy.

But just now, it was confirmed that it was real, which not only gave her a big shock, but also gave her a hope that she could save her friends.

If you have it, you can cure Cyris, because it is a miracle of alchemy that can grant all wishes.
