Chapter 227: Giving back to the other in his way
"This is Hugh Tucker, the Alchemist of Destiny, I really don't understand why you came to visit him to ask about synths, and how does it help the situation? ”
All the way to Hugh Tucker's house, Roy Mastan was obviously a little confused.
However, Ling Ze obviously had his own arrangements, so he didn't ask anything, he just fulfilled the obligation of an introducer step by step, and the rest of the matter depended on whether Ling Ze and Hugh Tucker could talk.
"Introduction, this is the "Alchemist of Destiny" Hugh Tucker, he is an expert in synthetic beasts, and he has once refined synthetic beasts that can understand human speech, you can ask him any questions, he is a real insider. ”
Entering Xiu Tucker's house, at the coffee table in the living room, the group sat down, Roy Mastan as an intermediary, took the initiative to introduce the people on both sides to each other, he acted according to Ling Ze's instructions, there was no problem, and there was no suspicion.
Of course, Ling Ze's side mainly introduced the identity of the "Fullmetal Alchemist" Edward Elric's brothers, and did not mention Ling Ze and Aitsaac Marcodugaru much.
After all, the two Elric brothers had a very valid reason to stay in this place, and Ling Ze and Aizak Markodugaru wanted to stay, so they could only stay here as their companions and helpers.
Hugh Tucker, the "Alchemist of Death", earned his title as "National Alchemist" by refining "a synth that can understand human speech and can speak".
He doesn't have any combat power himself, and the main attack of the synthetic beast is not the direction of the battle, although there are a lot of synthetic beasts locked up in his house, but there are few that can really fight.
And the synthetic beast he refined could only say "I want to die", and finally died of a hunger strike, what kind of way it came from, Ling Ze was very clear.
So Ling Ze didn't have any worries about whether he could easily get rid of this man, he was just thinking about how to solve this damn man reasonably, and he was also able to relieve himself and unravel the "psychological shadow" left when he watched this story before.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I'm just more proficient in the refining of synthetic beasts, not a real master, this alchemist of Steel, is the real young and promising.
At such a young age, you can become a "national alchemist", and I don't know how many others I have to envy to death.
When I was your age, I didn't have the opportunity and ability of you. ”
Hugh Tucker's words are really full of "jealousy, envy and hatred", and he has really given too much for the title of "national alchemist".
Seeing that the "Fullmetal Alchemist" got this title at such a young age, he wanted to say that it was really fake to say that he didn't envy it.
After a wave of business blow-offs, Hugh Tucker gets straight to the point, asking Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric to pay the corresponding secrets in exchange for the help they received from him.
Alchemists believe in the principle of equivalent exchange when they are refined, and this wave of operations is understandable, after all, everyone is not familiar with each other, and if you want people to help you, you naturally have to pay the corresponding price, always thinking about how to do it for nothing?
Edward Elric's heart froze, he couldn't help but look at Ling Ze, this kid was still too young, he was surprised that Ling Ze guessed everything so accurately, so he couldn't help but look at Ling Ze, and Ling Ze nodded to him, as if sensing his gaze.
Edward Elric, who was reminded, immediately rolled up his sleeves, revealing his steel prosthetics, and Alphonse Elric also took off his helmet, and their secret was naturally the matter of "human body refining".
This is naturally very surprising for Hugh Tucker, the "Alchemist of Death", after all, this is one of the three official taboos for the "National Alchemist".
For Hugh Tucker, who valued the position of "national alchemist" more than anything else, this kind of thing could undoubtedly be regarded as a big secret.
So after some "hypothetical" exchanges, Hugh Tucker took Edward Elric and his party into his library, which was a large library with many tall bookshelves, and he allowed Edward Elric and his party to rummage through the materials.
However, of course, he would not reveal his details to Ling Ze and the others, so he brought Ling Ze and them to this library, naturally because the information here can be disclosed to the public, and the real secrets are hidden in other more secret places.
At this time, Roy Mastan has already left here, as the right-hand man of the commander of the Eastern Army, Gulaman, he has a lot of things to deal with, as a national official, Roy Mastan is not as idle as Ling Ze and them, he can go wherever he wants.
This is also one of the conditions for Ling Ze's next move, he must not stab the matter in front of Roy Mastan, Roy Mastan is at most to arrest Hugh Tucker, it is still difficult to say whether he can be executed, this is not the result Ling Ze wants.
"Ling Ze? What are you here for? Is there anything in this information that you need? ”
After Hugh Tucker had also left, Aysaac Marcodugaru asked Ling Ze that they were still in the dark and had no idea what Ling Ze had come here for.
"Don't worry, I've found the evidence I'm looking for, I'll take you there, and you'll understand after reading it."
Ling Ze used the power of the Imperial Tool to take a closer look at the building.
As expected, Ling Ze really found a secret room under this house, where various experimental records and research records were the core of Hugh Tucker's research, and there was the place where the truth about his research was recorded, and it was just a cover-up.
"Someone's coming."
As soon as Ling Ze's words were finished, Aizak Markodugaru immediately noticed that someone had opened the door and ran in.
"Big brother! Who are you? What are you doing here? ”
As soon as Isaac Marcodugaru's words fell, the figure that ran in had already arrived in front of Ling Ze and them.
It wasn't just a man who ran in, but a large dog, which pounced on Edward Elric and threw him to the ground.
“......”
Ling Ze had actually discovered the approach of this person and a dog a long time ago, after all, his hearing would always be online without using the emperor's tool.
However, after thinking that this man and dog could be used to hold back the Ellik brothers, he didn't say anything, and the Ellik brothers didn't necessarily agree with what he was going to do, although they were a little more civil than Roy Mastan, but they also had principles there.
"Who is this girl?"
Aizak Marcodugaru approached Ling Ze, who had taken a few steps back, and looked at the cute little girl with an innocent smile on her face, who had already started to communicate with the Elric brothers, and he raised his own questions, but he had already guessed about it in his heart.
"She's Hugh Tucker's daughter."
Speaking of this, Ling Ze paused, and then said again:
"Also after her mother, the next victim."
Ling Ze's words caused Aizak Markodugaru's pupils to shrink, and he was obviously thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
And the conjecture he finally made based on Ling Ze's words was really too terrifying, even he himself felt very unbelievable, that kind of thing was too anti-human.
"You two are here to play with her for a while, let's go over there first, and then call you if there is a situation."
Ling Ze and Edward said hello, one of the two brothers was entangled by a little girl, and the other was entangled by a big dog, obviously it would be difficult to get out for a while, so they could only watch Ling Ze and Aizak Markodugaru leave.
"In this secret room... It won't really be what I thought it would be, would it? ”
After being reminded by Ling Ze's words, Izak Marco Dugaru, looking at Ling Ze's state, obviously became more and more convinced of the ideas he had before.
"Wouldn't you go down and see? With you, you don't have to worry about his alchemy research not being able to understand anything. ”
Ling Ze did not give an affirmative answer, but said so, his current level of alchemy is obviously still in the entry stage, although Hugh Tucker is indeed a beast, but he does have a hand in the study of synthetic beasts, although his path is too wild.
"Who would have thought you didn't know anything about alchemy?"
Aizak Markodugaru shook his head helplessly, looking very emotional, when Ling Ze first said that he wanted to ask him for alchemy, he thought that Ling Ze was teasing him.
Obviously, Ling Ze's alchemy is so comprehensive, it can be refined into different powers, and even includes the power of ice, so why learn alchemy from him?
However, after Ling Ze's explanation, although Aizak Marco Dugaru still didn't understand what the principle of Ling Ze's power was, he did understand that it was indeed not alchemy, after all, alchemy must abide by the principle, and Ling Ze's ability was the same.
The principle of equivalent exchange, the formation of circular cycles, and the difficulty of substitution between different elements do not exist at all for Ling Ze's ability, so it is no wonder that Isaac Marcodugaru would decide that Ling Ze's ability is not alchemy.
Before Aisaac Markodugaru, he had not carefully studied Ling Ze's ability, and it was inevitable that he would have a preconceived idea that it was "alchemy", but after careful study, if he still felt that it was alchemy, then he had really practiced Alchemy in vain for so many years.
"Take your time, with you as a famous teacher, I must learn quickly."
Ling Ze didn't care, he had now entered the door under the guidance of Ayzak Marcodugaru, and believed that with his "wisdom", he was not far from a real society.
After all, what is the basic theory of alchemy or something, he, a materialist boy who grew up under the red flag and has received compulsory education, has a certain foundation in himself, physics, chemistry or something, who hasn't studied it yet?
Ling Ze and Isaac Marco Dugaru walked into the secret room under the utility room of Hugh Tucker's house, and the appearance of the two of them obviously surprised Hugh Tucker.
"Who told you to come down? This is not a place open to you, hurry up and get out! ”
Hugh Tucker changed his previous somewhat mild-mannered and cowardly personality, and he yelled at Ling Ze and Aysaac Marcodugaru, obviously very concerned about the place being broken into.
"Don't be so irritable, we're just curious, don't worry, normal people won't covet your research results here, and only you will treat this broken technology as a treasure."
Ling Ze ignored Hugh Tucker's threat, but continued to walk into the other party's laboratory, which was full of all kinds of materials, as well as the experimental synthesized beasts in the cage, which were more than the rooms upstairs where the experimental synthesizers were placed, and it was obvious that the place where the synthetics were placed upstairs was just a trick like the library.
"There's no talking synth, what should I say about you? Maybe you're not the right man to be the best man, right? ”
After observing the synthetic beasts here, Ling Ze couldn't help but sneer, the reason why there were no "talking synthetic beasts" here was definitely not because Hugh Tucker's conscience didn't allow him to catch other people for experiments, but because this man was too cowardly.
He didn't dare to go out and arrest other people at all, he was afraid of exposing himself, afraid of being discovered by others, he only dared to use his wife and daughter as experimental materials when he had to hand in the research results when he had to hand in the research results, otherwise he would be revoked as a "national alchemist".
"What do you know? How do you know? What do you want to do?! ”
Hugh Tucker's expression was very flustered, where was there still a little momentum, he was directly frightened by Ling Ze.
This guy is really a bastard scum who is selfish, cowardly, and doesn't have the slightest bit of a man's responsibility.
"I didn't expect... It turned out to be exactly what I thought..."
Aysaac Marcodugaru's face was ugly, and he stared at Hugh Tucker as if he were going to eat him alive.
"For your own interests, in order to become a "national alchemist", you use your wife as a material for refining synthetic beasts, you are really powerful! Hugh Tucker! ”
The jealous and hateful Aysaac Marcodugaru was obviously about to be blown up by Hugh Tucker's actions, and he really wanted to slap this bastard to death.
"It's coming to the assessment period again, in order not to be eliminated, in order not to be revoked as a "national alchemist", what are you going to do this time?
I think it was a dog, right? When you made your wife, you did it with dogs, right? So what about this time? Are you going to become your daughter? And that dog? ”
Ling Ze sneered, and Hugh Tucker sat directly on the ground, although it was scary for Aisaac Marcodugaru, who was staring at him, but Ling Ze, who was blindfolded, was the culprit who scared him like this.
"What's the matter with you?! What does it have to do with you guys?! Why can even that stinky hairy boy easily become a "national alchemist"?! And I can't? I paid so much to get the qualifications, can't I lose them easily?! ”
Hugh Tucker held his head and let out a desperate roar, snot and tears streaming from his nose and tears, obviously pushed to the extreme, and then couldn't help but explode in emotion.
"This is a pathetic and hateful person, but not a pitiful man."
Ling Ze shook his head in disappointment, then he picked up the research results of the refining array on the table and handed it to Aizak Marcodugaru, in the other party's puzzled gaze, Ling Ze slowly asked him:
"Can you learn? I want this man to experience what he did to his wife, what he was going to do to his daughter, and let him experience his own research firsthand, what do you think? ”
