Chapter 218: Third-rate alchemist
"Don't worry, I'll tell you all about it slowly, it's a long story, and it's very close to you, that's why I'm inviting you two brothers to talk."
Ling Ze calmed the anxious Edward Elric, about their father von Hohenheim and the "little man in a bottle", he must have to tell them, after all, Ling Ze needed to use the man's power.
"Do you know who your father is? No, it's not a good question, but do you know what kind of person your father was? Do you know his past? ”
Ling Ze asked such a question, and as soon as the matter came to their father, Edward Elric's face immediately became a little unpleasant.
Edward Erlick has always been very hateful to von Hohenheim, but his kind of "hatred", or rather a kind of "love and hate", is more appropriate.
He hated the man for cruelly leaving their mother and their two brothers, hated the man for not coming back to see them until his mother died, hated him for making his mother wait for him, hated him for letting his mother still defend him.
"I don't know, I'm probably a powerful alchemist."
Edward Elric replied a little coldly, he was not targeting Ling Ze, he was only targeting von Hohenheim, just mentioning the name, Edward Ellick felt angry.
The image of the man giving him one last merciless glance and then resolutely leaving the house is something Edward Elric will never forget, it was like a nightmare that haunted him, even more so after his mother's death, until a new nightmare replaced it.
And the new nightmare is naturally the day when the two of them carry out the forbidden "human body refining" and want to resurrect their mother, after all, the result of their attempt was very unsuccessful in the end, and the price paid by the two brothers was also very tragic.
It's not just "very powerful", that guy is the creator of the "alchemy" on the other side of the new country, the kind of "alchemy" that relies on the power of the underground dragon vein to use, but it is different from the "alchemy" of Amistolius.
The "villain in a bottle" can ban the use of "alchemy", but the school of "alchemy" will not be affected in any way, which is a good way to fight the "villain in a bottle", although only von Hohenheim can fight it.
Von Hohenheim, who is just a slave himself, and doesn't even have a name, is indeed a very talented "alchemist", and in his long wandering career of hundreds of years, he has already grown up enough, and he is no longer the original "Slave No. 23".
The bond between him and the "villain in a bottle" was like the "protagonist" and "grandfather" in traditional online texts at the beginning, but the grandfather of the "villain in a bottle" had his own ambitions and plans, and in the end, although the "villain in a bottle" brought enough benefits to von Hohenheim, it also completely destroyed his life.
"Indeed, he is a very good alchemist."
Ling Ze affirmed Edward Elric's words, and his words naturally made Edward Elric and Alvons Elric's brothers confused.
"Steel cans," Alphonse Elric asked cautiously:
"That's... Mr. Ling Ze, do you know our father? Do you know where he is? ”
Unlike his older brother Eduard Errik, Alphonse Erlick was a relatively young man when his father von Hohenheim left, so he didn't feel it too strongly.
And Alphonse Elric is a very "Asassian" person, he does not blame their father, he thinks that the man must have a compelling reason, so he left them, he wants to see their father, he wants to know how the man is now, whether life is okay, Alphons, the child is the old "Asassi" as soon as he speaks.
"It's just a little bit of it, and it can't be said that I know him, but I know some things about him very well, after all, this mess of Amestolis is inseparable from him."
Ling Ze shook his head and replied to Alphonse Erric, von Hohenheim, as the "father" of the "little man in a bottle" by blood, as the "protagonist" of the previous term, was the key to solving the problem of Amsteris.
However, if you think about it this way, the relationship between the "Little Man in a Bottle" and the Elric brothers seems to be related brothers, after all, the "Little Man in a Bottle" was born from the blood of "Slave No. 23", that is, von Hohenheim, and the Ellik brothers were also born because of von Hohenheim's "essence blood".
And if you think about it this way, those androids of the android group, and the "android" children of the "little man in a bottle", may still call the Elric brothers "uncle", and this generation will be raised all of a sudden.
Good guy, this is all the trouble, and the co-author is still fighting with his own family, and it is really difficult for von Hohenheim, a centuries-old father, to protect his two teenage sons. I have to teach my hundred-year-old unfilial son a lesson.
"Those things will not be mentioned for the time being, we must first find a way to solve this pretending to be a ghost, relying on the power of that half-finished "Philosopher's Stone", that disgusting guy has done a lot of disgusting things. ”
Ling Ze interrupted Alphonse Elric, who continued to ask something, and at this time the people in the square had dispersed, and they were fooled by the Sect Master of Conelo to buy some "indulgences" issued by the other party again, and the Sect Master of Cornelo had already said that those "indulgences" could save them from criminal punishment in this world.
This made Ling Ze can't help but call him "insider", although he himself does not believe in gods and Buddhas, but Ling Ze obviously still knows a little about things like "indulgences".
"The punishment of the state? When can I be reduced by this kind of thing? It's ridiculous, what are the administrators of this town doing, could it be that they have all become believers in this religion? ”
After listening to Ling Ze explain the function of the "indulgence", Aizak Markodugalu, a former national soldier and military lackey, immediately expressed his opinion, and this middle-aged man with a "patriotic" spirit was obviously very indignant about this phenomenon.
Similarly, Edward Elric, a lackey of the active military, also abhors this kind of behavior, and they are obviously people who are in the camp of order.
Although there are occasional outrageous behaviors, such as violating all the three taboos of "national alchemists", such as engaging in "anti-government movements", in the overall thinking, they are actually still in the camp of order.
This can't be helped, they seem to be "chaotic ministers and thieves", but that's because the country itself is not normal, if the country of Amistolis is normal, they will definitely be the most loyal courtiers.
"Connello, that guy's ability to do things is really weak, it's a bit whimsical to expect him to start a riot, it seems that we still have to do it ourselves."
When Ling Ze and the others were about to make a move on Connello, two artificial humans, "Lust" Laceter and "Gluttony" Gratoni, also came to the town of Riol.
Rust was already disappointed in the ability of the Conelope Sect Master, although she didn't expect that waste to make a big deal, but compared to Ayzac Marcodu Garu, who had already been marked in Central City, this guy was too much of a waste.
"Rubbish! Rubbish! Rust, can I eat him? ”
Gratoni pandered to a few words, and then turned the conversation to "eating", this guy is the product of the failure of the "villain in a bottle" to create the "door of truth".
His stomach is located between reality and "truth", which is a gap that cannot be filled at all, so this Grattoni's hunger will never be satisfied, which is why he keeps shouting "hunger", of course, his character representing "gluttony" is also one of the reasons.
"When Envi comes over, you can eat him, and he's barely of any use now."
Luster touched Gratoni's head and said like a child, while Gratoni gave an obedient "oh", and he kept sucking his fingers, which didn't look like his brain was quite normal.
"Zizizi!"
On the other side, Edward Elric slapped his hands and directly forged a door on the wall, and the group of four opened the door and easily entered the home of the Sect Master Conelo.
I have to say that the "alchemy" thing is really very convenient, if Ling Ze comes alone, it can only be entered by violent blasting.
"Who are you?!"
Seeing Ling Ze and his group of four suddenly intruding in, the bald head of the Great Han Connello Sect Leader wearing a clerical costume shouted nervously, the kind of refining reaction just now obviously showed that the person who broke in was an "alchemist".
And he himself is just a third-rate "wild alchemist", if it weren't for the "Philosopher's Stone" in his hand, he basically didn't have much combat power.
However, although he was a little nervous now, he was not too flustered, after all, he was still very confident with the "Sage Stone" in his hand, and the half-finished "Sage Stone" gave him the capital to do whatever he wanted.
"Hand over the Philosopher's Stone, and then hurry up and take it, you shameless and despicable liar. ”
Edward Elric pointed at Cornello and shouted very imposingly, although the other party was holding the "Philosopher's Stone" in his hand, Edward Elric was obviously very confident.
Regarded as the "Philosopher's Stone" by Cornello, but not in the eyes of Edward Elric, he did not think that it could bridge the gap in pure strength between them.
"Someone! Banish all these thugs from me! ”
When Conelo heard Edward Elric's words, he immediately understood that the other party had seen through his tricks, but this was his territory, and he was really not afraid of the other party's nonsense.
As for the ability of the powerful "alchemist", Cornello has not really seen it, he is just a third-rate "wild alchemist", and he is not at the same level as the "national alchemist", he naturally can't understand that kind of power.
Also as the "National Alchemist", Isaac Marcodugaru and Zolf Brown J. Kimberley and the two of them, with the "Philosopher's Stone", can easily defeat Edward Elric, but this Connello obviously does not have this ability, the chef can only cook dark dishes, no matter how good the ingredients and tools you give him, he can't make any food.
With the shout of the sect leader of Conelo, the armed cultists in charge of guarding immediately rushed in, his guards here are still very tight, and the number of armed cultists is not small.
Because the original intention of the establishment of the sect of Conelo was to revolt with an armed uprising, seize a piece of land of its own, and be able to dominate one side in Amestories.
is completely different from Aizak Marcodugaru, who fooled the "gluttony" Gratoni, this Conelo leader was obviously fooled by "lust" Rust.
"Damn!"
Seeing that Connello called people for a "righteous group beating" against them, the Edward Elric brothers were very angry, after all, they didn't want to implicate other innocent people.
"Look at me."
Ling Ze preemptively made a move before Aizak Markodugaru stepped forward to kill, if he didn't do it, Aysaac Markodugaru would use his "alchemy" to kill those people who stood in the way one by one, but he didn't care if those people were deceived.
"Sa!"
Ling Ze's body was swirling, and he passed through the crowd in just a few steps, if he had a knife in his hand, he could easily kill those people, but his knife only cut off the hand of the Sect Master of Conelo, and did not cause much killing.
For those armed cultists who were deceived, Ling Ze didn't have any mercy, after all, after they were deceived, they became the armed guards of this Conelo sect leader, and they also took this opportunity to show off their might and bring disaster to the township, and they were killed if they were killed, but in order not to fall out with the Ellik brothers now, Ling Ze generously let them go and gave them a chance to be new people.
"Ahhh!!h
In an instant, the sect leader of Conelo, whose hand was cut off, held his hand and wept bitterly, and the severed hand he was wearing a ring inlaid with the "Philosopher's Stone", he cried bitterly not only because of the pain, but also because of the fear of losing his strength, without the "Philosopher's Stone", he had no doubt that he could only wait for death.
