Chapter 38: Learning Alchemy

"You've grown up a lot...... "The man touched Alphonse's head and said, "You're here to find your master, aren't you?" ”

"No... That's right, what about the master? Edward asked.

"Izmi, the imps of the Elric family are here, can you get out of bed?" The man poked his head into the window and asked his wife, who was lying on the bed.

"It should be fine, I feel pretty good today." Izmi said.

"I was sick and resting in bed...... Alphonse said.

"Isn't the master's illness cured yet?"

As soon as Edward finished speaking, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a slipper came at him and stomped on Edward's face. Immediately, Edward was kicked out.

The young woman known as Izmi came out of the house, looked at Edward who was kicked to the ground and shouted, "You kid, you haven't come to see me for so many years, I heard that you have become a lackey of the military department?" ”

"Pain, pain, pain...... Master, listen to my explanation! Edward rubbed his somewhat red and swollen nose and said aggrievedly.

"Yes, yes, listen to my brother's explanation......" Alphonse also said quickly.

"Huh? Al? You've grown so tall! Upon seeing Alphonse, Izmi looked surprised and stepped forward to give a hug.

But before Alphonse could hold her, Izmi threw a backhand over the shoulder and threw Alphonse out of the air.

"No, I haven't exercised enough!" Izmi patted the dust off his hands and said.

Edward walked back to Izmi and asked with a bitter expression, "Aren't you feeling unwell?" ”

"Nonsense! Don't you see my body is in good shape right now!? Izmi shouted angrily, but as soon as she finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spat out of her mouth.

"Ahhh This frightened the two brothers so much that they screamed loudly.

"What a noise! Didn't you see that I'm okay! Izmi yelled, "It's just a little blood, it looks like you've brought a lot of guests, let them all come in and sit." ”

"Yes...... Be! Seeing Izmi turn around and walk into the house, Edward was also a little relieved, this master of his was so violent that he suddenly struck at every turn, so that the brothers were beaten violently before they could react.

After entering this house, a smell of blood suddenly came to their faces, and everyone even saw a lot of meat pieces that were still cut out with blood, which was indeed a veritable butcher shop.

"Master, we're here to ......," Edward spoke, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Izmi.

"Don't worry, before that, I have something to ask you two brothers." Izmi's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he said to Edward, "Al has become empty armor, and one of your hands and feet has become mechanical armor, you ...... Did you touch that taboo? ”

After hearing his master's words, Edward showed a surprised expression and asked, "Master, how do you know ......?"

"Nonsense! I'll know this little thing as soon as I get it! Izmi said, "So, you must have seen that......

After receiving Edward's affirmative nod, Izmi sighed and said, "We are really a hopeless pair of master and apprentice......"

After hearing Izmi's words, Edward's eyes widened suddenly, and he raised his head to look at Izmi: "The master is also... Ever seen that? I remember that you can also refine without refining the array, isn't it......"

Speaking of this, Edward's pupils shrank, obviously thinking of something, but Lin Xuan and the others on the side were confused, not understanding what they were talking about.

Izmi glanced at her husband next to her, and after getting permission, Izmi told her past.

"My husband and I never had a child, and we finally got pregnant, but because I was sick, our child was not born alive. So...... I broke the taboo and lost part of my internal organs. ”

"That'...... Master, have you succeeded? Edward asked, he didn't expect that the master would actually touch the taboo made by the human body just like himself.

Izmi shook his head and said, "I should have told you... The human body refining this taboo is not an existence that we can touch, you must be in pain now, right? ”

“……”

Edward gripped his mechanical armor tightly with his left hand and did not speak. And Alphonse was also standing aside at the moment, silent.

"Forget it, don't mention this, let's introduce the guests you brought, you can't snub people." Seeing that the atmosphere had become dull, Izmi changed the subject and said.

But her words made Lin Xuan and the others speechless for a while, the two of them said so much to themselves, if they wanted to say that they were cold, they would have already been snubbed, okay!

"This is Major Armstrong, the national alchemist, with the title of 'Alchemist of the Mighty', the major is very nice, and he has helped me many times." Edward introduced.

"Hello......" Major Armstrong said, showing his strong muscles.

"Oh! Do you also like to build muscle? Without waiting for Izmi to speak, her husband asked with some excitement after seeing Major Armstrong's muscles.

"That's right! Muscles are an art to me! Armstrong said proudly.

The two looked at each other, and had a feeling of seeing each other late, and left the living room, and went to a corner to exchange their topics, and when they returned, the two looked as if they had been old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

"This is my childhood sweetheart Wen Li, a genius mechanical armor technician, and my mechanical armor is what she helped me make." Edward continued.

"Don't listen to what Ed says, there's still a lot to learn, and I aspire to become a great mechanical armor technician. These two brothers were taken care of by you. Wen Li said modestly.

"Hmph...... Who takes care of these two stinky little ghosts too! Izmi snorted and said.

Although she didn't get a good face, Wen Li was not angry. Because she knew that this master of Edward was a knife-mouthed tofu heart. Previously, she could see the abnormality of the two brothers' bodies at a glance, which was enough to show that she still cared about the two brothers very much.

"These three are my friends, they once saved my life, and this time, in addition to visiting you, we also hope that you can teach them alchemy." Edward gritted his teeth and said. He knew his master's character, and after saying this, he would inevitably escape a beating.

Just as Edward had expected, Izmi's fist slammed into his head and said, "You know that I won't take in apprentices, but it's already an exception to teach you alchemy back then. ”

Hearing Izmi say this, Edward reluctantly glanced at Lin Xuan, saying that he couldn't do anything and couldn't help him.

"Please teach me alchemy! Even the simplest alchemy! Lin Xuan stood up, bowed to Izmi, and said.

Lin Xuan had previously written down a large number of refining arrays in the library, and he believed that as long as he mastered the operation of the refining array, it would be okay to use other refining arrays.

"Oh? Why should you study alchemy? After listening to Lin Xuan's words, Izmi asked with some curiosity.

"I have something I want to protect, I need enough strength." Lin Xuan took out the set of rhetoric he had prepared earlier and said calmly. He couldn't tell the other party that he was studying alchemy in order to refine the human body, for fear that he would be rejected as soon as he said it.

"Alchemy is not as simple as you think, some people, even in their lifetime, can not learn alchemy, are you sure you really want to learn?" Lin Xuan's answer made Izmi a little moved, but it was obviously not that simple to want her to teach alchemy.

Just as Lin Xuan was about to open his mouth to answer, a powerful spiritual pressure swept towards him, pressing him out of breath for a moment, and he was about to sit down on the ground with an unstable foot.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan reluctantly raised his spiritual power to resist this spiritual coercion, and the original huge pressure was suddenly reduced a lot, and Lin Xuan's body was also lightened, and he stood firmly.

"I... Want... Learn ......" Under pressure, Lin Xuan slowly spit out these three words from his mouth. At this moment, his head was already densely covered with beads of sweat, which showed how difficult it was to withstand the other party's mental pressure.

"Huh?" Seeing that Lin Xuan had been supported by his own spiritual coercion for so long, Izmi sighed lightly and immediately stopped exerting pressure.

"It's kind of interesting......," said Izmi, "in that case, I'll make an exception and teach you something." ”

"Really!?" Hearing that the other party agreed to teach him alchemy, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up and he asked.

The confrontation between the two mental power only happened in a short period of time, and even Xiao Lan and Dog Bear didn't notice what had just happened, but Lin Xuan, who was the party concerned, was surprised that the other party's mental power was higher than his own, otherwise he would not have been able to form this powerful coercion. At this time, his back was already soaked with sweat.

"Nonsense, I'll regret it if you ask me again." Izmi said with his hands crossed and an impatient expression.

"What about us?" Seeing that Izmi agreed to teach Lin Xuan alchemy, the bear hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"You guys?" Izmi glanced at the bear with contempt and said, "If your mental power is the same as his, I can consider teaching you together, otherwise you won't be able to learn it." ”

"Huh? How can you ...... like this" As soon as he heard that learning alchemy required the same mental power as Lin Xuan, the bear immediately gave up, and Xiao Lan on the side also showed a disappointed expression.
