Chapter 3: The Failed Night Battle
The moon is bright, the stars are shining, and yet the night they make up is unusually quiet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ishbal is a desert area that can be hot during the day, but at night, the sand that can't retain the heat will make Ishbal icy to the bone.
However, this is nothing to the Yidao people who have been in Ishbal for a year. Besides, the red gem in his hand didn't make him feel a trace of cold.
It's not that the red gem has a warm heat that can protect the Yi Dao people from the cold, but the Yi Dao people feel that after holding it, a burning sensation arises from the depths of his heart, which makes him ignore the cold of the night in Ishbal.
The Philosopher's Stone is the name of that red gem!
After holding the Philosopher's Stone, Yi Daoren truly realized the power of the national alchemist, and even more powerful!
There is no need to refine materials to launch alchemy, and Yi Dao people now suddenly have a feeling that they can go anywhere in the world.
Of course, he also knew that this was just an illusion that he had suddenly gained more power.
"Once I lose it, I will become a second-rate alchemist that no one looks down on......" The spread palm of his hand was closed, and the philosopher's stone was tightly held in the palm of his hand, Yi Daoren looked at the building illuminated by the moonlight in the distance, and his eyes became cold and indifferent, as if it was the night breeze of Ishbal blowing beside him, which made people feel cold.
"Click, click, ......" The sound of small footsteps sounded behind the Yi Dao people, and then Zolf J. Kimblley walked out of the moonlight with an elegant and reserved smile and slowly walked to the Yi Dao people.
"Are you ready?"
"Of course." Looking at the Ishbal garrison looming in the moonlight in the distance, like a wild beast, the Yi Daoren bowed his head and folded his hands, and prayed in a low voice full of piety: "I hope that your faith can be redeemed with you!" ”
When the Yi Dao people prayed sincerely, Zolf J. Kimblly did not make any movements, just quietly watched the Yi Dao people pray, and after the Yi Dao people finished praying, they said lightly: "Every time I see you praying, I have a feeling of seeing saints." But alas, you are not a saint, but a butcher. ”
"Really?" Inlaid the Philosopher's Stone into the grooves of the special alchemy glove, a smile also appeared on the face of the Yi Dao people, but unlike the elegant and reserved Zolf J. Kimbrie, the Yi Dao people were a little more casual: "The position determines that I am a butcher, so why should I disobey?" ”
Looking at the smile on Yi Daoren's face, Zolf J. Kimberley's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "You don't seem to resist killing people at all." ”
A strange light flashed in Yi Daoren's eyes, and he said lightly: "As long as you don't like it, why resist?" ”
"Don't you expect redemption?" A look of surprise appeared on Zolf J. Kimberley's face.
"Redemption?" Not only did Zolf J. Kimblly have a look of surprise on his face, but after Zorf J. Kimbery's question was asked, a look of surprise also appeared on the face of the Yi Dao people, but more of them were speechless and ridiculous: "Do I need salvation?" Why do you think I'm expecting salvation? ”
"Don't you need salvation?" Zolf J. Kimblley raised an eyebrow.
After a few blinks, Yi Daoren turned his head to look at the building in the distance and said with a smile: "If you can see from my prayers that I desire salvation, then I can only say that you are wrong. I don't need salvation, I can carry all my decisions! ”
"Even to be a human butcher here?"
"Even if it's a pointless and endless slaughter here!" Looking at the buildings in the distance with a somewhat dim gaze, Yi Daoren said softly: "I don't want to die, I want to live!" ”
The Yi Dao people who have been twisted to the battlefield of Ishbal, as long as they dare to flee privately, then what awaits him must be the sanctions of the military department. At that time, he couldn't protect his Yi Dao people with a false identity as a national alchemist, and he could only be shot as a deserter!
"Just to live?" The surprise in Zolf J. Kimberley's eyes turned into an indescribable light.
The corners of his mouth hooked, and Yi Daoren smiled: "You can understand it like this." Because people who don't even have life have no future to speak of. ”
"That's just as well." The complexity in his eyes faded away, leaving only a glimmer of interest, and after smiling twice like a night owl, Zolf J. Kimberley said, "What kind of future do you expect?" ”
"Of course, it's a life full of bright sunshine." After responding as a matter of course, the Yi Dao people walked towards the Ishbal garrison in the distance, as if they were not interested in talking to Zolf J. Kimblly anymore.
After repeating the adjective "Sunny ......" in a low voice, Zolf J. Kimberley looked at the back of Yi Daoren and whispered, "After knowing what the Philosopher's Stone is, will there still be bright sunshine in your world?" ”
The Philosopher's Stone is made from living people!
And to refine a philosopher's stone, the number of people needed is not one or two!
Slowly lurking behind a dozing night watchman, Yi Daoren nodded to Zolf J. Kimberley in the distance in the distance, and suddenly rushed to the night watchman's side with a slight clasp of his hands, covering his mouth.
"Hmm!" The red light flashed, and the night watchman's eyes widened before he could let out a slight groan.
Confusion and pain, and the drowsiness that doesn't have time to fade, this is the message revealed by those wide eyes.
After helping the night watchman to slowly fall down so that he would not make any unnecessary sounds, Yi Daoren withdrew his hand from the night watchman's mouth.
Immediately, the smell of burnt meat erupted from the night watchman's mouth.
The Night's Watch died, and the cause of death was the high-heat ashes caused by the alchemy of the Ashes at no cost, and the Yi Dao people poured into his body from his throat when he covered the Night Watchman's mouth, roasting his internal organs in an instant, thus ending his life!
On the other side, Zolf J. Kimberley also dealt with the night watchman he was in charge of. It's just that unlike the way the Yi Dao people solved it with alchemy, he used a dagger to cut off the neck of the night watchman.
There is no way to do this, Zolf J. Kimberly's alchemy of the Red Lotus is good at creating explosions, and the movement caused by that is too big, if it is solved by alchemy like the Yi Dao people, then they have already been discovered before they have successfully infiltrated.
At that time, it will only be possible to storm it.
Both Zolf J. Kimberley and the Yi Dao people know that although they have the Philosopher's Stone, they are also mortals, and once they face too many enemies, alchemy can't help them!
Although the Philosopher's Stone will help them save them from the materials of equivalent exchange, and it will also make their alchemy more powerful, there is a premise for this...... They can use alchemy!
To perform alchemy, in addition to preparing materials for equivalent exchange in advance, you also need spiritual power as an introduction!
In order to activate the construction of alchemy power, it is necessary for the alchemist to use his or her own will to pull the power of the earth's crust and the power of the volcanic eruption into the alchemy array. This will is spiritual power.
The Philosopher's Stone cannot omit the mental power consumption when performing alchemy, at most it is consumed a little less because it does not need to spend extra energy to connect to the earth's crustal energy.
This limitation is best known to Yidao people. The gap between him and the national alchemist, in addition to knowledge, is the most important thing is spiritual power.
The spiritual power of Yi Dao people is at most half that of the national alchemist!
This is still the result of various stimuli after going to the battlefield, and a year ago, it may have been about one-third.
Raising his hand and making a tactical gesture, signaling Zolf J. Kimblly to arrange the alchemy of the Red Lotus, and preparing to take out this Ishbal station at one time, Yi Daoren suddenly noticed a person walking slowly towards his position, and couldn't help but quickly change his gesture, signaling Zorf J. Kimblly to hide and wait for him to kill this person first.
"Luckily, it's here. If you go to Kimbury and smell blood, something will definitely happen. Secretly glad in his heart that he used alchemy to kill people, Yi Daoren straightened the corpse of the night watchman who fell to the ground and leaned against the wall, and after making a cover of sleep, he also carefully hid behind the wall.
When the visitor approached, he saw the corpse of the night watchman leaning against the wall, and couldn't help but cry out without a wrinkle: "Larry, why are you sleeping...... And the smell of barbecue! Don't you know how dangerous it is right now? How dare you barbecue meat......"
The visitor said a few words, and when he saw that the corpse of the night watchman did not react, he felt that something was wrong.
After a closer look at the night watchman, he suddenly noticed that the night watchman's chest did not rise or fall!
"Whoosh!"
"Biliba crack!"
Amid the sound of the wind and the sound of electric wires leaking from the rapid movement of the clothes, a pair of ominous red electric lights suddenly poked out from behind the wall and poked into the heads of the visitors!
When you see the red electric light, you know what it represents...... That's the alchemist who has been killing his people recently when he casts his alchemy!
It's too late to dodge, but there's no need to dodge either. The people who came were not ordinary people, but devout believers and monks who believed in the god of the Ishbal land and constantly tempered themselves for the god of the Ishbal land!
"Bang!"
After the swift heart-warming legs like a desert scorpion stabbing its tail thorn suddenly kicked out, directly kicking the attacker away, the warrior monk didn't care about pursuit, but covered his face and wailed in pain.
"Uh~"
Pains and hoarse screams spread endlessly through the night, instantly reviving the Ishbal Residency like a sleeping wild beast!
"Damn it!" Both the Yi Dao people and Zolf J. Kimberley secretly cursed, especially the Yi Dao people.
The cold light in his eyes almost froze the air around him!
However, although he was secretly scolding, he felt that there seemed to be some problems with the internal organs after being kicked in the abdomen, but Yi Daoren knew that the top priority now was to kill the warrior monk.
Without hesitation, Yi Daoren directly put his hands together and launched the alchemy of ashes, creating a cloud of ashes with a dark red light that floated towards the warrior monk.
After the dark red ash appeared, the temperature around it soared instantly!
That's because the ashes that have been refined through alchemy are not much hotter than the flames that burn brightly. And because of the existence of ashes, the harm to people and creatures is more terrible than a simple flame!
Just now, Yi Daoren planned to cover the mouth of the warrior monk and pour the ashes directly into his body like he had done before killing the night watchman. Not only is there little movement, but it can also cause an instantaneous kill. But he didn't expect that the person who came was a powerful warrior monk, with nimble skills, and kicked him away without waiting for his hand to get close, so that he could only hurriedly paste the scorching ashes on the warrior monk's face.
It's a pity that the warrior monk did it, not only kicked him away, but also jumped backwards some distance with the reaction force that kicked his body at the moment when the ashes approached, dodging most of the ashes, and did not cause the effect of inhaling the ashes to cause all five internal burns, but only slightly stained his face, so he received more serious burns.
"Bang!" The yellow sand flew like rain, pouring on the scorching ashes close to the warrior monks, and at the same time completely obscuring the sight of the Yi Dao people!
After a while, when the Yi Dao people regained their sight, they saw that the warrior monk was quickly running towards the residence of the Ishubal people who had come to life!
But it turned out that the warrior monk also saw the danger of the ashes refined by the Yi Dao people, and directly kicked the yellow sand on the ground as a shield to stop the ashes, and then retreated decisively!
Gritting his teeth fiercely, the annoyed Yi Dao man raised his foot and was about to catch up.
But as soon as he lifted his feet, he felt so weak that his eyes were so dark that he did not even see the instructions given to him by Zolf J. Kimblley to retreat.
Soon after, a frowning Zolf J. Kimberly came to the side of Yi Daoren, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? ”
"The spleen ruptured, and the liver seemed to have suffered a lot of damage...... The warrior monk of Ishbal is really strong, and he is a hard stubble! Raising his head, revealing a face as pale and ugly as gold paper under the moonlight, Yi Daoren smiled bitterly: "What should I do next?" ”
"What else can I do?" Turning his head to look at the Ishbal garrison with various lights on, Zolf J. Kimblley narrowed his eyes, watched the movement for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Retreat now!" Will you still be able to walk on your own? ”
"It's a little difficult."
"Really?" After receiving the reply, Zolf J. Kimbery picked up Yi Daoren without hesitation at all, and said with a smile: "Then owe me a favor, remember to pay me back later!" ”
"I owe you a favor...... It's better than dying here! Sorry for you! ”
The people of Yi Dao don't want to owe Zolf J. Kimblley a favor, because Zolf J. Kimblly is too dangerous! But does he still have a choice now?
The Isbari garrison was in an uproar as soon as the warrior monk who covered his face returned.
"What's wrong with you? Larry, what's wrong with them? An old warrior monk walked up to the warrior monk from the crowd, and after looking at the injury on the warrior monk's face, his brows furrowed: "This kind of injury...... Did you meet an alchemist? ”
"Master......" barely opened his eyelids, and the warrior monk pulled the corners of his burned mouth, and said bitterly: "Larry, they are already dead!" ”
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! A young voice sounded from the crowd, and then a young man with a somewhat thin body, who did not have the rough feeling of an ordinary Ishbal, and was more like a weak scholar squeezed out, and after seeing the miserable face of the warrior monk, his face changed wildly: "Brother! Are you okay! How could it be like this? ”
After taking two steps and one step, the young man ran to Scar's side to check it, and said in a deep voice: "Bear with me, I'll help you treat it right away!" ”
After speaking, the young man was about to squat down, but was stopped by the old warrior monk.
"Let's go to my room first!" With that, the old warrior monk pulled the warrior monk and the young man out of the crowd. But before leaving, he didn't forget to say in a loud voice: "Everyone, pay attention, an alchemist is coming!" Inform the elders of them! ”
After arriving at the old monk's room, the young man did not wait for the old monk to greet him, so he took out a piece of chalk and squatted on the ground to draw a circle, and then connected it with a five-pointed star...... Forge into a formation!
"Crackling!"
The bright blue refining reaction quickly spread to the warrior monk's body, so that the warrior monk's face began to slowly repair!
Alchemy?!
