Both the media and the magazine "Comic Future" have begun to shift some of their attention to "Chess Soul: Beidou Cup", and even some critics are speculating about the box office of the film.

A month before the release of "Chess Soul", many people who were interested in Go, or the original readers of "Chess Soul", and even some professional chess players, began to pay attention to this movie.

Even so, the popularity of "Steel" is still not hidden by "Chess Soul".

The publication of "The Sage of the West (Part II)" soon brought readers back to the world of "Steel Forge".

This episode is the same as the previous episode, and there are still no too many fights, but its excitement is no less than the most exciting four episodes in December.

Edward and the others traveled across the desert to the ruins of Xelxis.

Speaking of this country, Edward only knew the "Tale of the Sage of the Eastern Desert", the legend of the people who escaped from Keselxes and popularized alchemy in Amestris.

When Fu Ye heard Edward's words, he mentioned the "Western Sages".

“…… Great men from the West, teaching alchemy. His technology was fused with the technology that was passed down to Xingguo in ancient times, and there was 'alchemy', and we all respectfully called him 'Western Sage'. ”

Edward walked among the ruins of Xelxis, but unexpectedly saw a broken alchemy formation on a high wall.

He had never seen this refining formation before.

Following Fu Ye and continuing to move forward, Edward finally met Rose, who had been burned at the stake by Roy, in a hidden place.

At the same time, Edward's father, Hoinheim, also returned to his hometown where he had been away for many years, only to see the house burned by the fire and the large tree in front of the door.

……

The narrative is steady, but the content is full of suspense.

First of all, for the first time in the comics, Keselxes is officially mentioned.

Why was this country destroyed overnight? Will the country still appear in the subsequent story? This is a doubt in the minds of many people

Then, the comic leads to the "Sage of the West".

Is this person the same person as the Sage of the East?

If yes, then who is this person? If not, who is the Sage of the East?

After that, there was the emergence of Hohenheim. Are he and "Father" the same person, and why are they so similar?

A series of questions were thrown out by readers, and some people began to try to analyze the plot.

"I guess the Western Sage is a very key figure, and it will definitely appear in the future, otherwise, it would be impossible for Mr. Shen to use the 'Western Sage' as the topic of these two words."

"Then again, who will be the sage of the West?"

"I don't know, it must have been a long time ago. You think, 'alchemy' is the product of a combination of alchemy and ancient technology. If a technology wants to be developed, it will not work without hundreds of years, and the theory alone will have to be perfected for a long time. ”

"You say, is Hohenheim a 'father'?"

"Definitely not. You forgot, in the previous episode, 'Father-sama' is still with androids. Besides, if he really is 'Father', his wife can't die. ”

"But Hohenheim and 'Father' must have a connection, otherwise the two would not look the same."

"It's possible."

"I've found that so far, there are still a lot of secrets in Steelforge that haven't been revealed."

"It's just good, if all the secrets are revealed now, "Steel" will look boring again."

"I remember that in the last episode, someone ridiculed Shen Da, saying that he could draw such a cartoon. Hehe, can he draw it? ”

"What do they do? Those people are just mouthful, really find them out, and estimate a group of cowards. ”

"Haha, too."

……

On the popularity list of Chinese comics, "Steel Chain" is still firmly ranked first, and the gap with the following comics, whether it is "Sky Wolf", "Shengwu Academy" or "Game", "Hunting Abyss", has not narrowed the distance with "Steel Chain".

Not only that, "Chess Soul" also went all the way up with the promotion of the "Beidou Cup" and appeared in the TOP50 again.

Seeing that the gap between "Sky Wolf" and "Steel Forged" is gradually widening, Duan Ping is no longer in the mood to post on Weibo.

Wang Yunze joined Duoman.com, which also had a great impact on him.

Before, he also hoped that with this job change, he could make his status among cartoonists rise to another level, but now it seems that he is really too naïve.

How is "Steel" so much better than "Sky Wolf"?

Duan Ping picked up the single book on the table and flipped through it again.

When he turned to the last page, his cheeks were rosy.

Whether he has an opinion on steelmaking or not, he can't deny the excellence of "Steel".

In the end, he had to say another sentence in his heart - it is really fragrant.

After the last incident, Fu Bo has also learned to be obedient, even if he is upset, he will not complain on the Internet.

The last time I was fortunate to delete the post in time, if it was really found out that he was the initiator, his reputation would be stinky.

But in his spare time, he still inevitably complained in the studio, and at the same time, the requirements for the sketch gradually increased, which made the assistants tired, but they couldn't complain to each other in the group, so they could only have a slight remark on Fu Bo when they had a private meal.

"You said, Liu Rui is at Teacher Shen's place, is it just as hard as us?"

"I guess it's that the picture of "Steel" is obviously more exquisite than "Shengwu Academy", and also, her salary should be higher than ours, right?"

"That's for sure...... It's just that Mr. Shen's studio shouldn't be easy to enter. Shang Peng sighed.

When it comes to Liu Rui, the three assistants are all envious, but not all of them have Liu Rui's luck.

"Ahh

Liu Rui sneezed hard, then rubbed her nose.

"What's wrong?" Gao Hang asked in a low voice, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"It's fine. My nose was a little itchy just now. ”

Liu Rui shook her head, but looked at the invitation in her hand excitedly.

Just now, Kanan Kubo, the supervisor of "Chess Soul: Beidou Cup", knocked on the door of the studio under the leadership of Ji Yinxuan and sent an invitation to the premiere of "Chess Soul: Beidou Cup" to everyone present.

Liu Rui took the opportunity to ask Kanan Kubo to sign it, which made the invitation commemorative, but it also brought new troubles.

The "premiere" will be held on February 2, and February 5 is the Spring Festival. If you attend the premiere, you probably won't be able to buy a ticket home.

It's so tangled.

Maybe this is "pain and happiness"!

Liu Rui, who was in a tangle, secretly glanced upstairs, Shen Xin, Xi Muhan, Ji Yinxuan, and Kubo Kanan sat around the coffee table, and a translator in his thirties acted as a communication "medium", talking softly on the sofa on the second floor.

Because they were far away, they couldn't hear what they were talking about.

It must have something to do with the movie, right?

Liu Rui meditated in her heart.
