Although the Ellik brothers' bodies are separated from their bodies, they are still somewhere in this world, absorbing their nutrients and growing...... This was a conjecture made by the Yi Dao people after observing Edward Elric's body. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the same time, he wondered if Alphonse Elric, who had completely disappeared and could not get the nourishment and energy to grow by eating, also added his own energy consumption to his brother's body, Fixing his soul in armor for him!

Because of the information obtained from the observation of the dragon vein, Edward Elric's consumption of his own energy is too strange, and the consumption of ordinary people, even the consumption of Yi Dao people who began to exercise their bodies with the movements they have researched, is only the current consumption of Edward Elric.

And that was when he was exercising, and in normal times, he who knew how to guide the dragon veins consumed less than ordinary people, let alone compared to Edward Elric at the moment!

So this is obviously unusual, and it makes Yi Daoren come to a conjecture that others would definitely think is whimsical.

However, the Elric brothers didn't think it was fanciful, especially Edward Elric.

"Captain Yi, do you think my hands and feet, as well as my brother's body, are still in this world?"

"It's just a conjecture I've come up with by observing your body's nutrient consumption, and I can't say for sure yet." After withdrawing his hand from Edward Elric's chest, Yi Daoren took a sip of coffee, filling his mouth with the fragrant and bitter coffee, stimulating his taste buds and getting a refreshing effect, and continued: "You lost your right hand and left foot and your brother lost his body when the human body was refined, right? Can you tell me about that time? ”

"At that time......

Edward Elric clenched his hands, and Alphonse Elric on the side looked like he was about to speak.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it......"

Remembering that the two little guys in front of him were only in their early tens, and the situation back then might have a lot of psychological burden on them, Yi Daoren was thinking about it and saving himself trouble, but Edward Elric suddenly looked at him with a serious face and told him to swallow the next words.

He knew that Edward Elric had made a good decision, and that he had already faced the taboo violation of the taboo that cost him his limbs and his brother's entire body!

"Captain Yi also knows a little about human body refining, right?"

Nodding, Yi Daoren said lightly: "Well, I know the materials and refining arrays of the human body, but that's wrong." ”

"That's right! The material made by the human body is wrong! Because the most important part of the human body has been neglected......" Edward Elric's left knuckle and right hand mechanical armor creaked as he clenched his hands: "Soul! The soul that guides all the movements of the human body! We only consider the material of the human body, but completely ignore the existence of the soul! ”

"Soul...... frowned and thought for a moment, Yi Daoren suddenly glanced at Alvons Elric on the side, and then said, "Go on." ”

"When we were becoming mothers, Al and I seemed to be in a strange place. There were just me and two doors, and a blank figure who claimed to be me and everything, one behind me and one behind him. But before I could say a few words to the guy, there was a strong pull from the door behind me, and countless small black hands stretched out and dragged me inside the door. Inside the door, I gained a lot of knowledge, which was very fascinating, and if I hadn't wanted to resurrect my mother, I might have been lost a long time ago. At this point, Edward Elric glanced at his brother and said, "Al doesn't seem to have any knowledge of this. Because that knowledge was gained at my own expense, I only paid one foot, so remember, and Al's whole body was paid for it, but it was forgotten because it was gained too much. ”

"Selective forgetting because of self-preservation? I understood. Because of the experience of the Third Research Institute and the Synthetic Beast Group, Yi Daoren, who had a deeper understanding of biological instincts, nodded, then lowered his head and thought about it, and frowned: "Perhaps, your human body refining has been successful. ”

"What? How can it be? ”

"Captain Yi, are you serious?

The Elric brothers asked together.

Casually pulled aside the paper and pen that were placed casually to facilitate his own recording of ideas, and after Yi Daoren quickly wrote some words and formulas, he placed them in the middle of the table for the Elric brothers to watch: "You should not have the material that lacks souls, but you gave up that material at the last moment...... Alphonse, he should be the material of the soul. Isn't everything about him, including his soul, gone? It's just that you pulled it back in the end. ”

"Equivalent Exchange ......"

"That's right, this is the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy, exchanging the soul of Alphonse for the soul of your refined 'mother'." Leaning on the sofa, Yi Daoren pulled the corners of his mouth while tasting coffee, and said with a smile: "I will give you what you want, as long as you pay something of equal value." That's a lot better than some humans. ”

Ignoring the meaning of the second half of Yi Daoren's sentence, looking at the formulas and notes written by Yi Daoren on the table, Edward Alphonse gritted his teeth.

"Brother, Captain Yi's reasoning doesn't seem to be wrong...... Suddenly Alphonse Elric scratched his head, which was only a helmet, and said, "Before you fixed my soul to this armor, I also seemed to have returned to this world and saw you who had lost a leg...... That kind of perspective is like a mother we have refined! ”

As soon as Alphonse Elric's words were finished, Yi Daoren tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You don't think that what you refined is your mother, do you?" ”

"Not our mom? Didn't you say that the human body was successfully refined? ”

Yi Daoren shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's right, I admit that your human body refining should be successful, after all, all the materials are complete." But just because you're all in the mix doesn't mean it's your mother, maybe just Alphonse Elric with a new body. ”

Yi Daoren's words made the Ellik brothers freeze all over, as if they had been completely frozen by the cold wind of the polar regions.

After a long while, Edward Elric pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a reluctant smile: "Captain Yi, you mean that the human body refining we did was to refine a new body for Al, and then stuff his soul into it?" ”

Yi Daoren nodded, and said lightly: "The situation you told me, as well as my understanding of human body refining, my judgment is indeed so. ”

"Bang!" Edward Elric's robotic arm hammered his right hand on the table: "In other words, we ended up riding our own hands, feet and bodies because of the game of 'changing houses'?!" Damn it! ”

"If you dare to hammer my table again, I'll throw you out right away!" Glaring at Edward Elric coldly, Yi Daoren said lightly: "What you should do now is not to regret it, but to find a way to recover your hands and feet and your brother's body." It's not about finding my table to vent. ”

Edward Elric, who wanted to hammer the table again, instantly stopped the hand that had been raised, and looked at Yi Daoren expectantly: "Captain Yi, do you have a way?" ”

"Don't treat me as a god one or two, I'm just an ordinary person! What can I do if I only know about your situation now? Glaring at Edward Elric, Yi Daoren thought for a moment and said, "Your previous idea was to repair your body through means such as biobody refining, right?" ”

"Yes! Captain Yi, I heard that you work at the Third Research Institute of Central City, which is famous for its biological refinement, is there a way to repair my brother and my body? Alphonse Elric nodded vigorously, the helmet in his head creaking as if it wanted to fall.

"Please, Captain Yi!" Edward Elric folded his hands and bowed reverently to the Yidaoren.

With a long sigh, Yi Daoren said lightly: "Don't beg me so much, I will help you if I can help you, after all, it is very valuable for your situation, but don't expect much from me......"

As he spoke, Yi Daoren suddenly paused, glanced at the direction of Rashter's residence outside the window with a slight frown, and then continued: "Okay, it's too late now, you guys go and rest first." ”

"Let us help you......"

"Go to bed, didn't I just say that you seem to be burdened with the consumption of both of you brothers?" Coldly glaring at Edward Elric, who was looking forward to it, Yi Daoren pointed to the stairs and said, "The innermost room on the second floor, tidying up the bookshelves is still enough for the two of you to sleep." ”

Edward Elric wanted to refuse, but when he remembered what Yi Daoren said that he might be responsible for the nutritional consumption of him and his younger brother, combined with the fact that he really couldn't eat enough or sleep enough after refining the human body, he knew that it might be a fact, so he agreed in frustration: "Yes...... I know. ”

After agreeing, Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric followed the direction of the Yidaoren and went to the innermost room on the second floor.

Pushing open the door, Edward Elric felt like he had arrived in a library.

It's just that unlike the library, it's a lot smaller, and there's a small bed in the corner that's about a meter wide.

"Is this the place for guests to stay......"

Edward Elric felt the urge to go back to the theory of the Yi Dao people, but remembering the attitude of the Yi Dao people and the help they were about to help, Edward Elric, who was only twelve years old, sighed and came to the small bed and sat down.

Alphonse Elric also came to the bedside, but instead of sitting on the bed, he sat on the floor.

After looking around the room densely packed but neatly arranged, and completely different from the books scattered everywhere in the living room downstairs, Alphonse Elric suddenly said: "No wonder Captain Yi will guess our physical condition and what we have refined when he first comes into contact with us, this seems to be his bedroom!" ”

"Bedroom?" Edward Elric was stunned for a moment, looked around, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Indeed, this is his bedroom. ”

The mirror, the alarm clock, and the little wardrobe in the corner, plus the bed he sat on, it was obvious that these things had made up the contents of the bedroom.

It's just that this bedroom is not like a bedroom for people to rest and relax at all, but it is depressing and scary!

It is the book that carries knowledge and civilization, the oppression brought by the light of human wisdom!

"But only someone like him can help us find a way to recover, can't he?" Edward Elric didn't feel depressed at all, and he wasn't afraid, only endless excitement!

Alphonse Elric laughed twice: "Yes! I had heard that Captain Yi was just a half-alchemist, but I didn't expect the real person to be so knowledgeable. It's just that...... Does he know too much about the refining of the human body? Does he also want to do human body refining? ”

Yi Daoren, who didn't know what the two children upstairs were talking about, looked in the direction of the door, frowned, and finally let out a long sigh.

In his dragon vein perception, Rashter was at his door at the moment, and the doorbell would ring in the next moment.

"Ding-dong! Taoist, are you there? ”

Sure enough, living up to the 'expectations' of the Yi Dao people, the doorbell rang, and at the same time, Rust's voice full of temptation rang.

"The lights are on, maybe it's not there?" Pouting, Yi Daoren came to the door, opened the door, and smiled at Rust, who was standing in front of the door with a smiling and feminine charm: "Rust, I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

"Isn't this because you're too busy, Daoist, and you go out early and return late every day?" The smile on her face became even more obvious, and Rust said, "Won't you let me in and sit?" ”

"If you don't hate my room." After getting out of the way and letting Rust in, Yi Daoren closed the door and accompanied Rust to the living room.

"Do you have any guests?" When she came to the living room, Rust saw the two cups on the table, and her eyes flashed.

"The two little ghosts have something to do with my old man, so let them stay for one night." Yi Daoren cleaned up the things on the table, and then went to the kitchen and poured a cup of hot water for Rust.

"Just for one night?"

"They are the ones who are going to participate in the national alchemist examination, so they can't stay with me all the time." Yi Daoren shrugged his shoulders and said very casually the purpose of the Ellik brothers' visit to Central City.

"The assessment of the national alchemist, that's really amazing......"

"Well, Captain Yi, I can take a shower...... Ah, sorry to disturb you. ”

Before Rust could finish speaking, Edward Elric's voice suddenly rang out, and he leaned out from the staircase on the second floor.

However, when she saw Rust sitting in the living room, she immediately wanted to go back.

"The bathroom is on the first floor, you just come down and wash, don't stain my bed!" After glaring at Edward Elric, Yi Daoren pointed at Edward Elric and smiled at Rust, "It's this little ghost who wants to participate in the national alchemist assessment. ”

"Do you want to participate in the national alchemist examination at such a young age? What a talent! Looking at Edward Elric, who had come down from the stairs with an embarrassed smile on his face, Ruster's eyes flickered with amazement.

Sure enough, these guys have a special purpose for the alchemists who have been refined by the human body.

After introducing Edward Elric to Rust, Yi Daoren, who had been paying attention to Rust, saw the strangeness in Rust's eyes very keenly.
