Chapter Seventy-Five: Feng. Hohenheim
The middle-aged man with blond hair didn't care much about Ning Xiangwen, he just turned his head to look at the scenery flying outside the window, as if he was thinking about something, his brows furrowed slightly, twisted into a good-looking Sichuan character.
Ning Xiangwen looked at the blonde middle-aged man opposite and observed it carefully for a while, and then sighed secretly: "Sure enough, it is exactly the same as the "Father" Homon Cruise, and the appearance of the body can hardly tell the difference between the two, the only difference is the eyes, the eyes of the blonde middle-aged man in front of him are very soft, which is completely different from the cold and ruthless eyes of Homon Cruise. Ning Xiangwen coughed lightly and said to the middle-aged blonde man, "Mr. Hohenheim, it's a pleasure to meet you on this trip!"
The middle-aged blonde man on the opposite side was Edward. Erlick and Alphonse. The father of the two Ellik brothers, von Murray. Hohenheim. Although he was still a middle-aged man with blond hair, he had lived for more than four hundred years, and his body, like that of Holmon Cruise, was an immortal body made of philosopher's stones. Von Hohenheim was originally a slave in the ancient city of Xelxes, he had no name, slave number 23; Later, he was taken from the blood of the slave master for experiments, and made a "person" with all knowledge in the flask; Later, in order to repay Slave No. 23 for his "kindness in life", the "little man in the flask" gave him a name: von Hohenheim, and taught him alchemy and writing; Thus, Hohenheim became an assistant to the alchemist of the slave owner.
After that, the king asked the "little man in the flask" Homon Cruise if there was a way to live forever, and the little man in the bottle, Homon Cruz, taught the king to engrave the whole country into a land refining array of philosopher's stones, and then made all the people of Xelxes, including the king, smelt the philosopher's stone, which was used to form Homon Cruise and reshape Hohenheim's body, thus becoming immortal. "The Villain in the Flask", Holmon Cruise, then leaves the flask, taking on the physical appearance of Hohenheim, and splitting his negative personality representing the "Seven Deadly Sins" into seven androids, who are referred to as "Father-sama".
Hohenheim on the opposite side heard Ning Xiangwen say his name, and once again pulled his eyes away from the scenery outside, and turned his head to look at Ning Xiangwen on the other side in surprise. Ning Xiangwen said with a slight smile; "Mr. Hohenheim, it's an honor to meet you here, I was supposed to look for you later in my plan, but I didn't expect to meet you so soon!"
Hohenheim stared at Ning Xiangwen and said, "What plan?" Who are you?" Ning Xiangwen slowly said a name: Hipperion! After hearing the name, the corners of Hohenheim's eyes on the other side twitched slightly unconsciously. Ning Xiangwen continued: Hipperion is in my head now! Saying that, Ning Xiangwen pointed to his head with his index finger! Hohenheim had been to Ishvar a few years before the start of the Ishvar Annihilation War to meet Scar's brother Hypline, and there he unexpectedly discovered that Hyprope had learned about the territory of Holmoncruz through research, and then the two of them finally created a counter-reversal through joint research. The land is refined.
Then for the past few years, Hohenheim has been traveling all over the country of Amsteris, taking out the philosopher's stone in his body and carving the reverse reversal on the land of Amerstories. The blood crest of the land is refined. Ning Xiangwen continued: "I already know from him about your efforts to stop the occurrence of the Realm Refining Array!" Hohenheim asked Ning Xiangwen with an ugly face: "Who are you and what is your purpose?"
It's no wonder that Hohenheim's expression was wrong, he abandoned his wife and children, and secretly traveled around the country to portray the anti-reversal. The land was refined, and suddenly a stranger appeared and directly said what he had been doing secretly. Anyone else will panic! Ning Xiangwen: "I'm just a self-helper who has the same goal as you, and my purpose is also to prevent Holmon Cruise from launching the Territorial Refining Formation. And I've managed to break into the enemy's interior and know the true purpose of Holmon Cruise! ”
Hohenheim; "For what purpose?" Ning Xiangwen: "Use the land to refine the whole country into a sage stone, so as to open the door to truth, devour the "truth", complete yourself, and become a "complete" existence!" Hearing Ning Xiangwen's words, Hohenheim calmed down: "It seems that our guess is not wrong, Homon Cruise is no longer satisfied with immortality, he really wants to replace the truth and become a "complete" existence!" Ning Xiangwen continued: "I have gathered a lot of people like us to break into the androids and gain their trust, so on the appointed day, we will cooperate with you to make Homon Cruise successfully devour the "truth" into a "complete" existence, and then take the opportunity to launch a counter-reversal. The land is refined. Wipe out Holmoncruz in one fell swoop! ”
Hohenheim looked at Ning Xiangwen quietly, his eyes were full of entanglement and uncertainty, and he said slowly after a while: "Can I trust you?" Ning Xiangwen smiled and said, "You have to believe it!" Ning Xiangwen stood up and was about to leave, and when he got up, he suddenly said, "We are going to Leo to meet Edward and Alphonse this time, aren't you going to meet your two children?" They've been looking for you all these years! Hearing Ning Xiangwen's words, a look of tenderness and guilt appeared on Hohenheim's face: "It's not suitable for me to meet the two of them right now, and they hate me very much." There was some loneliness in the words.
Ning Xiangwen: "In that case, then I will leave, and I will take good care of them for you." I will not put them in danger and will let the inscription of the Blood Emblem go smoothly! After speaking, Ning Xiangwen turned around and left, returning to the carriage where the alliance team was. 16 hours later, the train was quite close in Leo's station, and Ning Xiangwen, who got off the train, watched the train start again and head into the distance. Hohenheim in the train continues to portray his counter-reversal. The action of the land refining array. Leaving the train station, the Alliance and Bloody Hand teams arrived at the location of the Rites.
At this time, Edward and Alphonse had already brained the headquarters of the Rite Sect, revealing the true face of the sect leader Conelo, Leo This place is an important place in the Realm Refining Array inscribed with the Blood Crest, this is a city that has nothing not long ago. People gathered here because of the emergence of a new religion called Ret. The leader of the sect, Conelo, used the Philosopher's Stone to create [miracles], recruited believers everywhere, erected a statue of God Rett in the town, and built a cathedral.
Now Edward and Alphonse have been investigating whether the ruby ring on the hand of the sect leader Cornello is the philosopher's stone for the past two days, and when Ning Xiangwen arrived at the Leith Cathedral, Edward and Alphonse were preparing to infiltrate the Leith Cathedral to meet the sect leader Cornello. Caught in time to stop the Ellik brothers. Ning Xiangwen took Edward to drink Alphonse to a nearby café. The other members did not come forward and went into hiding.
In the café, Ning Xiangwen said to the waiter next to him: "Give me a cup of coffee, and a glass of milk for the blonde little steel boy opposite!" Suddenly, Edward almost climbed onto the table angrily, and Ning Xiangwen looked at the puzzled Elric brothers in front of him and sighed and said, "You two are too impulsive, and you almost ruined the country's arrangement!" Edward sat on the couch and said indifferently, "What arrangement?"
Ning Xiangwen crossed his hands under his chin and said, "The state has found out that the Leite Sect is a cult, and the sect leader Connello is a fallacious confusing the public with the intention of creating a riot and endangering the security and interests of the country. The military department has been investigating him for a long time, and it has also been confirmed that he has the Philosopher's Stone in his hands! Hearing the words "Philosopher's Stone", Edward, who was originally lazy, immediately came to his senses: "Is there really a Philosopher's Stone?"
Ning Xiangwen nodded and said, "This is something that has been confirmed, but according to the military's understanding, the Philosopher's Stone in the hands of Sect Leader Conelo is a fake, but the military also has other clues about the real Philosopher's Stone!" Edward asked nervously; What's the clue?" Ning Xiangwen River Leaky Coffee said: "Tim. Dr. Marco. According to the military, he had studied the Philosopher's Stone and made it, but then he disappeared, and according to the military's information, it may be that the fake Prophet's Stone in the hands of Sect Leader Conelope was obtained from him! ”
Edward excitedly said, "Where is he?" Ning Xiangwen's face was embarrassed, and Edward immediately said flatteringly: "Uncle Ning, we have known each other for so many years, don't you still worry about me?" I'll help the military get him back! Don't let him slip away!" Ning Xiangwen thought for a moment and then said, "Okay! Then I'll tell you, but you don't need to do anything to him, the military needs to follow his clues to find the mastermind behind him! Then Ning Xiangwen took out a pen and paper, and wrote on the paper Tim. The address where Dr. Marco now resides.
