Chapter 394: Flaws in the Plot
The autumn breeze is gradually rising, and the climate is getting cooler.
In the blink of an eye, it is November.
In November, the second volume of "Comic Future" was released, and the sales of "Comic Future" exceeded 500,000 copies in a single week.
This volume begins in episode 7, after the synth, and after the synth, Scar faces off against the Elric brothers, Roy, and the "powerful alchemist" Armstrong, and finally loses.
Edward's right arm was destroyed, and the armor containing Al Spirit's soul was severely damaged.
Since only Edward knew how Al and the armor were attached, Edward had to repair his right arm before he could restore Al to his armor. Therefore, he can only go to his equipment master, Wen Li, the childhood sweetheart of the Elric brothers.
However, in this volume, Scar's identity is also revealed - Ishvar was once conquered and annexed by Amestories (the protagonist's country), and Ska was the one who survived the war 13 years ago.
In this war, the national alchemist acted as the executioner, and both Roy and Armstrong participated in this war.
Therefore, Scar's hatred of the national alchemist can be explained.
If the first volume is just the beginning of normalcy, then the second volume is the tip of the iceberg.
In that war thirteen years ago, thanks to the participation of the national alchemist, Amestolius won the victory without any suspense. But this also raises a series of questions: what is the truth of that war? Is it related to Edward Brothers? Was that war just a background introduction for Scar, or did it play a pivotal role in "Steel"?
In addition, Edward also received clues about the refining of the "Philosopher's Stone", and the relevant materials were placed in the first branch of the Central Library. This also led Edward to decide to go to Branch 1 after his arm was healed.
The second volume is full of suspense, and readers are also full of anticipation for the plot of "Steel Forge".
The progress of the serialization on "Comic Future" is faster than that of the single book.
In the episodes "Home with Family Waiting for Home" (top and bottom), the comic explains for the first time why Edward lost his right arm, which was exchanged for Al's soul.
Wen Li stayed up three all-nighters and finally finished Edward's mechanical armor, but she forgot a screw because she was too tired.
"There's foreshadowing here!"
Some readers saw this scene and immediately made an assertion.
"Nonsense, do you still need to say this? The structure of "Steel Refining" is very compact, and deliberately telling a screw in this paragraph will definitely have a foreshadowing. ”
As soon as the question was raised, it was refuted by other readers, and many more readers had no intention of refuting it at all.
With such a simple foreshadowing, who can't see it?
However, most readers are interested in another question - what is hidden in the research materials of the "Philosopher's Stone"?
In anticipation of readers, the 45th issue of "Comic Future" was released.
Readers who bought the magazine turned to "Steel Forge for the first time", glanced at the title of this sentence, and were happy.
"Sure enough, it's the 'Philosopher's Stone'!" What is hidden in the Philosopher's Stone? ”
With doubts, the reader couldn't wait to open the magazine.
When Edward arrived at the first branch of the library, he found that the first branch was in ruins, and just a few days earlier, a fire had destroyed all the books.
Relying on her super memory, she silently wrote down the information on the Philosopher's Stone that Edward needed.
Relying on this information, Edward finally unlocked the secret of the 'Philosopher's Stone'. ”
"Ah......hh
"The doctor said to Edward, 'If you know, you will see hell.'" If it was really made from living people, it would be really terrifying. ”
Seeing this, my heart suddenly became heavy again. Whether to choose the Philosopher's Stone or choose life - it's so tangled. ”
"'Steel', it feels so heavy."
So, hurry up and change the subject. I don't understand alchemy. Why did the doctor write the research into a recipe? Is it a trick? ”
"Not really, as far as I know, it seems to be the habit of alchemists. Alchemists in the Middle Ages liked to hide their research in words, so that it was not so easy for others to know. Therefore, it must be interpreted by professionals. ”
"So that's the case, the setting of "Steel" is really elegant."
"Then again, there's a plot that's too silly X! Dr. Marr was afraid that others would know the truth about the Philosopher's Stone, so he used a recipe to hide it, but Edward told the two guards directly, which was child's play. Is Edward mentally retarded!? ”
"That's right, Edward behaves too much like a child. He searched for this secret for several years, but ended up telling others very casually. Teacher Shen was not thoughtful. ”
"What's ill-conceived? When Mr. Shen drew this paragraph, he definitely didn't use his brain! ”
"Smack!"
During the break, Gao Hang went to Manjia.com and glanced at the reader's post.
When he saw the latest message, he slapped the table angrily, Shen Xin, who had just come to the first floor to get coffee, and two other assistants looked at Gao Hang in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xin asked puzzled.
They said Edward told the two guards directly, that he was too mentally retarded. Moreover, he also said that you didn't use your mind to draw this plot...... Teacher Shen, don't be angry, it's not what I said, it's their ......" As soon as Gao Hang said his words, he quickly changed his words and pointed to the computer screen and said.
Shen Xin couldn't cry or laugh.
However, there is one thing, these readers are really right, when he painted, he really didn't worry about the storyline, after all, Aunt Niu had perfectly expressed the story. But it would be inaccurate to say that Aunt Niu didn't think seriously about this scene when she painted it.
At first, when Shen Xin saw this scene, he also had the same idea as the video barrage, such a plot is too loose, but if this plot is placed in the whole story, it is not difficult to understand.
"This ...... Actually, this arrangement makes sense. Shen Xin explained.
Liu Rui and Hang Jian raised their heads and looked at Shen Xin curiously.
Shen Xin scratched his head, because the main job of the two of them was to serve as assistants, and they didn't have the idea of creating comics alone, so Shen Xin hadn't taught them much.
That's all I have to say about this day, right?
"Actually, you should be able to see that. These two guards knew that it would lead to subsequent plots, such as the Fifth Research Institute. If the two of them don't know the news, they won't notify Armstrong. Well, Armstrong would not have provided information about the Fifth Institute. ”
Since the 18th and 19th episodes have already been drawn, Shen Xin's words can be understood by the three assistants.
