Chapter 24: The Prototype of the Night Sky (Ask for Recommendations!) )
"First of all, let's introduce it. I am a traveler named Liu Hong. Liu Hong adjusted his appearance, then pressed his chest, bowed slightly, and said, "It is also the person who witnessed Edward and Alphonse refining the human body!" ”
Izmi's eyes widened, but Sigu pressed his hand on her shoulder, and at the same time shook his head when Izmi looked over, signaling to listen to Liu Hong first.
I didn't expect Xigu to look so rough, but his temperament is still good. Liu Hong pursed his lips and smiled, then continued: "But I didn't stop them, do you know why? Because anyone who has undergone human body refining has the opportunity to become a human pillar, a part of cruel and grand alchemy! Of course, as a pawn and cannon fodder! ”
Izmi was fine, he just frowned, but Sigu glared at him directly!
Putting his hand in front of him to look at the form of resistance, Liu Hong said with a straight face: "Don't stare at me, I don't have the ability to launch this refining array!" ”
After speaking, Liu Hong opened his suitcase, then took out a notebook and threw it to Izmi.
With a snatch of his hand, Izmi took the note thrown by Liu Hong in his hand, and then opened it and read: "In July 1558, the Libby Incident occurred; In October 1661, Cameron was in civil strife. What is this? He looked up at Liu Hong, but Liu Hong smiled and motioned for her to continue reading.
"In February 1799 at Fisk's Sobman time; March 1811, the Wiltsley Affair; In October 1835, the First Southern Frontier Battle of Ishbal was annihilated, which took place northwest of the present-day city of Nanku; The Second Southern Frontier Battle south of Fortesset in May 1911, and the recurring fighting at Bendelton, connected these eight places with the fortresses of Leol and Brix, and was a huge formation of formations? Izmi's brow furrowed at this, but when she turned to the next page, her brow was completely loosened, because it turned into shock!
Because the second page is a diagram of the refining array! There is the name of this refining array below! The Philosopher's Stone is in a formation! It was the Sage Stone Refining Formation Diagram that Liu Hong obtained in the First Branch Library of Central City!
"Philosopher's Stone!" Izmi touched the alchemy array diagram and recited the term that even alchemists were obsessed with.
But as soon as she pronounced the term, her hand froze!
"Materials, living humans?!" Izmi looked at the words written in the material column below and shouted the name of the material in an incredulous tone!
Looking up at Liu Hong, who was looking at him with calm but indifferent eyes that made her feel chills in her heart, Izmi flipped the note down further: "The destruction of Kselucses, the shape of the map of Ameslis, the outbreak of bloodshed, the blood heraldic land refined!" ”
The more I looked at it, the faster I looked, and when Izmi finished reading the notes in his hand, it was as if he had been immersed in water and pulled out again! Especially looking at the simple map of Ameslis on the last page of the note and the alchemy array drawn on it! It's just two points away! It's just two points away from this refining formation to be completed!
This is almost the same as the Philosopher's Stone Refining Array!
Standing up, Izmi turned the page of the last land refining to Liu Hong, and said loudly: "What is this thing?" ”
"Didn't I say it, this is a grand refining! And you, including the Ameslis, are material. A few steps forward, taking the notes in Izmi's hand, Liu Hong pointed to the five points on it to show Izmi, and said indifferently: "It takes five people to launch this refining!" Edward and Alvons, Hohenheim are known. And you, too, will be one of them, because"
"The human body is refined!" Izmi interfaced.
"That's right! It is the refining of the human body! Liu Hong closed the notes and handed them to Izmi, and then said, "If you have been refining the human body, you should have seen that door, right?" ”
After Izmi nodded a little hesitantly, Liu Hong continued: "Although everyone has that door, only those who have undergone human body refining will open that door!" Because when you are refined, you forget the greatest value of human beings! Souls, what do you exchange them for? ”
"Soul!" Izmi is now almost led by Liu Hong's nose.
"Yes, soul! You've been refined into flesh, but you're just a piece of flesh in human form with biological instincts! Liu Hong took a few steps back before he spoke: "It's like you refining your child!" You can see what it is without a soul, right? Do you think it's going to be your child? ”
Turning back to look at Sigu, Izmi turned his head and said in a stiff tone, "In that case, then why are we all missing something!" ”
Izmi used the word us at this point!
"When you got to the door, did you get some knowledge that you didn't know about before? Those things are your tolls, and you know that very well, but I'm just hearsay! The existence over there will explain it better than I can! Liu Hong stretched out his hand and explained.
"Hearsay will understand so clearly, it's also a kind of ability!" Izmi said sarcastically.
Ignoring Izmi's taunts, Liu Hong grinned and said, "So what are your plans?" ”
Izmi just wanted to speak, but at this time, Xigu took a few steps forward, stopped her, and then asked Liu Hong in a dull voice: "We will naturally have plans for those things!" But I now wonder what's in Izmi's belly! ”
"Husband!" Izmi didn't expect Sigu to ask such a question at such a time, and immediately pounced on Sigu like a girl. And Sigu also hugged Izmi.
Seeing this situation, the corners of Liu Hong's eyes twitched: "Come and kill me!" Don't hurt my eyes anymore! Don't hurt my heart anymore! ”
Covering his eyes with one hand, Liu Hong twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "This kind of thing is also Edward." This is the energy that the human body itself stores by breathing and exhaling energy that it cannot absorb! I call it internal force, or qi! ”
Then Liu Hong explained it to Izmi and Xigu in the same way as Edward explained at the beginning, but in some places it was explained in more detail and changed! Because Edward is only missing hands and feet, there is no problem with the internal organs, and Izmi is different!
Although it is said that the internal force circulation is the whole body, after all, the hands and feet are different from the internal organs for the adjustment of the human body!
"I see! In other words, if I practice according to the method you gave me to breathe and breathe, I will be able to make myself stronger and minimize the impact of the loss of internal organs on me, right? After listening to Liu Hong's explanation, Izmi made a statement.
"Yes!" After Liu Hong explained, he felt a little thirsty, but Izmi had no intention of pouring water at all, so Liu Hong had to ask for it himself: "Sorry, is there water?" ”
"I haven't served tea yet! I'm so sorry! Izmi immediately patted his forehead, but Liu Hong could only smile bitterly when he saw her completely insincere tone.
After a while, Liu Hong followed Izmi and Sigu to the living room.
A jug of boiling water was brought and placed on the table, and Izmi and Sigu sat down and did not move.
Raising his eyebrows, Liu Hong did not pour water for himself, but leaned back in the chair and said, "Let's talk about business now!" Or is that the question, what are you going to do now? ”
As with Sigu's gaze, Izmi nodded and said, "What about you?" Let's start by stating your purpose! ”
"Of course I want to stop this crazy plan! Does this need to be asked? Liu Hong said as a matter of course.
"Do you think I'm going to get involved in something so dangerous? Wouldn't it be better to move abroad? Izmi replied in a tone of course.
"As long as you are willing!" Liu Hong's complexion did not change at all.
The two smiled at each other like a couple. But alas, not affectionately.
"Without sparks and lightning, it's a pity that the special effects of the dragon and tiger are really a pity!" Liu Hong thought so in his heart at this time.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the end, it was Izmi who did not withstand this stalemate, and she was stimulated too much today! And she's not a talent for that either.
"Edward, do they know about this?" Izmi lowered his head and asked, "Or did you tell them?" ”
"With Edward's nature, can you let him know about this?" There was no positive answer, but Liu Hong's question already said everything.
"What do you want me to do?" Izmi raised his hand a little relieved and massaged his eyes: "First of all, I don't want to get involved in dangerous things!" ”
"Don't worry! You are the master of Edward and Alphonse! Of course, I will not arrange anything dangerous for you! Liu Hong suddenly appeared with a bright smile. Of course, this smile is not bright for Izmi and Sigu, but outright annoying! "Ms. Izmi just needs to do her research! I'll arrange for you to meet with the other researchers! ”
"Are there any other researchers? Where did we study? Izmi tapped his index finger on the table.
"I haven't decided on a place yet, but I think it's nice to have a place! It's a great place for you to do your research! After all, there has already been a land refining there! Liu Hong smiled and hinted at a place.
"Crsey Luxes? Truly! It doesn't belong there! Moreover, if you have launched a land refining, it is indeed necessary to go once! But isn't it a little too far away? Izmi's brow furrowed. She's frowned too many times today! But this time again and again, can you not frown?
"Naturally, researchers should be placed in the safest place!" Liu Hong got up and walked out the door: "The thing I want to say has already been said!" It's time to leave, too! ”
"If I contact you in the future, I'll use the name Luna. And you're Stella, including all the researchers! Speaking of his own things, Liu Hong smiled and said to Izmi the pronouns they should have! This is a necessary type of insurance.
After knocking on the table twice, Izmi suddenly asked, "Stella and Luna have both, but what about Solis?" ”
"Now there are two and a half solis."
"Do you know where Hohenheim is?"
"How do I know?"
"Do they know?"
"I don't think I know!"
"I see!"
"If you know, you should understand that Solis doesn't usually have Luna and Stella when he appears, right?"
"I know how!"
Just like rushing to answer, there was no pause in the Q&A between the two.
Liu Hong smiled with satisfaction, and then walked out the door without hesitation.
"That's right," Liu Hong turned around when he went out, "One of the researchers has been refined by the Philosopher's Stone!" ”
Izmi's letting go instantly clenched, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Really? Who! ”
"Guess!"
"Get out!"
