Chapter 233: One step at a time

"Come in and sit, it's hard for father and son to meet, don't be so tense."

Binak Lockbell, who had heard the noise, stopped the conversation between father and son, and led everyone into the house. Whoa

Everyone sat around the table, looking at each other with some embarrassment, and von Hohenheim looked very serious, but he was not such a dull person.

He just didn't know how to express his feelings, he didn't know how to deal with these two children.

He has always been haunted, haunted by this "gift" of sacrificing a country, he left the ruined Guxelxeith to travel around the world, escaping for hundreds of years, it was the love of Theresa Elric, and it was the two sons who made him make the decision, decided to find a solution to everything.

It's just that after so many years, he still hasn't found any good way, or he has found a way, but he still doesn't dare to face it, he is not as strong as he imagined, and his heart is entangled.

Even when he came back this time, von Hohenheim didn't make a decision, he didn't know whether he was here to say goodbye or to be here to strengthen his beliefs.

Seeing the scene, she was a little embarrassed, and she and von Hohenheim were very good drinking friends at the beginning, and they didn't see each other again for many years, and they didn't feel angry.

"You're really the same as you were back then, and nothing has changed."

Binak's words made von Hohenheim, who seemed to be in a daze, turn his head to look at her, Binak has changed too much from when he was young, but he has experienced too much of this kind of thing, and he has long been used to it, so he is not surprised.

"You've always been like this since I saw you when I was young, and now I'm halfway into the ground, and you're still the same way you were."

Binak picked up the pipe and lit a cigarette, when this mother-in-law was young, she was a child of the rivers and lakes who was both tobacco and alcoholic.

"This problem has been bothering me for a long time, but it may be almost solved, and whether it works out or not, I should be able to get out of the current state."

Von Hohenheim's face did not change, it was still the same serious face that had not changed for thousands of years.

"Are you trying to solve the matter of the Territory Refining Formation?"

Edward Elric was still young, and he couldn't hold his breath and took the initiative to ask the question.

“? How did you know about this? Edward. ”

Finally, von Hohenheim's face showed a different expression, and he looked at his eldest son with a little surprise, obviously not expecting Edward to know about it.

"I told them."

Ling Ze stood up, he had been thinking about something else just now, for the fact that the dog and Alexander the big white dog who had been installed with mechanical legs in the Binak family were scared enough by von Hohenheim, he was a little concerned, what is the function of these animals, so that they can perceive von Hohenheim's weirdness?

Ling Ze, who has been studying alchemy recently and has been a little confused, is now unprecedentedly eager to learn and explore, and wants to "understand" everything he sees.

Sure enough, for Ling Ze, who grew up under the red flag since he was a child, received compulsory education, and believed in materialism, it was the "science" of alchemy that gave him more motivation to learn.

This feeling of slowly understanding everything in the world, and being able to "decompose and reconstruct" everything, is simply not too wonderful, and it is completely different from the feeling of simply using the power of the emperor.

"Who are you? Someone from the military? ”

Von Hohenheim looked at Ling Ze suspiciously, he didn't see any difference in Ling Ze.

"No, I'm the one who wants to put an end to the plan of the "villain in the flask", we are the ones on the same side. ”

Ling Ze smiled, his words shocked von Hohenheim again, if Edward knew about the land refining formation, it only surprised him a little, then Ling Ze said such a thing as "the villain in the flask", it was enough to make von Hohenheim's face change greatly.

"You even knew it existed? Who are you? ”

Von Hohenheim's eyes were shining under his glasses, and he stared at Ling Ze up and down, as if he didn't quite understand how Ling Ze's age knew all this, looking at Ling Ze's appearance, he felt about the same age as his son, that is, he was much taller.

"The destruction of Gukeselxes is about to be repeated in this country, and you are still hesitating to do it? What else do you have to hesitate about? With nearly half of the lives of the Xelxes on your back, the souls in your body will wail if you retreat. ”

In order to complete his plan, Ling Ze decisively started moral kidnapping, for people with conscience, people with high moral value, moral kidnapping is an absolutely good trick, after all, as the saying goes, "a gentleman can be bullied".

“......”

For Ling Ze's words, von Hohenheim didn't know how to answer, and he was shocked when Ling Ze directly exposed the old bottom, and Ling Ze's accountability that pointed directly at his heart made his heart shake, and he couldn't even think about what Ling Ze was.

"Father, join us in solving this trouble! Brother Ling Ze said that you are a very powerful alchemist, and only with your help can we defeat that "villain in a bottle" and prevent the tragedy from happening. ”

Alphonse Erlick earnestly pleaded with von Hohenheim that the two brothers were people with a strong sense of justice, and this kind of thing could not sit idly by.

Moreover, as long as the people who are still living in this country, there is no way to escape, and there is no way to escape except to flee this country.

"Alphonse, you..."

Von Hohenheim didn't expect that Alphonse would trust a man like him as a father, he felt that Edward's attitude towards him was a normal attitude, after all, he knew that he was too unqualified as a father.

"Father, we all know it, Brother Ling Ze has told us, about you, we know that you must be in pain, and the best way to relieve that pain is for our family to end all this and destroy all the plans of that "villain in a bottle"! ”

Alphonse Elric was a sensible child, much more sensible than his brother Edward Elric, and he was a more delicate teenager, completely different from the reckless, impatient, and impulsive Edward.

"Humph!"

Von Hohenheim, who was moved, looked at Alphonse and then at Edward, and Edward Erlick just snorted arrogantly and did not object, although he still felt that what von Hohenheim did was very wrong, but he also agreed with Alphons's statement from the bottom of his heart.

"What the troublesome dad did, the bitter fruit brewed, the two of us and my mother, can we bear it inexplicably, if everything happens, won't the people of this country hate our family to death?"

Edward Ellick didn't say anything warm, but instead looked like I was thinking about myself, but von Hohenheim laughed anyway.

"Bang Bang!" Whoa

Ling Ze couldn't help but applaud, this scene of "father's kindness and filial piety" really made people feel very harmonious.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's discuss what to do, Hohenheim, how sure are you to deal with the "villain in a bottle", at least hold him off for a while, and you are the only one who can hold him back. ”

Ling Ze didn't care about the strange eyes they looked at him, but went straight to the point, because he had already received the task of the system, and everything was just like what he had guessed at the beginning, it was obviously only a task of the type of "defeating the villain in a bottle".

Bite! You've triggered the quest!

After encountering von Hohenheim, Ling Ze triggered the task of this, and in this case, he was unable to trigger the tasks of "Territory Refining Array" and "Little Man in a Bottle", which is self-evident.

That's definitely the end, but this time it's really a little rough to hide, but it's also easy to understand, after all, I didn't know there was this mechanism last time, and after knowing it this time, he looked for it in a targeted manner, which was naturally much simpler.

"The grasp is not very great, that guy is already more powerful than me, and it has never stopped increasing its strength and power, the consumption of the "Philosopher's Stone" in his body is also much smaller than mine, I don't think it will be his opponent, but if it is just to resist for a while, it should not be a problem. ”

Von Hohenheim answered Ling Ze's question, he had already made a decision in his heart, even his two sons had already made a decision, and he, an incompetent father, had to set an example for them this time.

In fact, making this decision is indeed very difficult for von Hohenheim, after all, the consequences of doing so will most likely cause him to lose his eternal life, or even lose his life, but there are some things that he really has to do, and he has avoided it for long enough.

"Good! That's enough, as long as you can resist it head-on for a while, we can kill him. ”

Ling Ze nodded, this is the answer he wants, in fact, he has already planned it, as long as von Hohenheim can resist the "villain in a bottle" for a while, Ling Ze will have the certainty to kill the gods", isn't it a body composed of the "Philosopher's Stone"?

"So where are we going next? What to do? Do you want to go back to Central City again? ”

Seeing that things were settled, Aitzhak Markodugaru asked his question, and the guy began to be reckless again.

"Of course not, wouldn't it be better for us to cut off that guy's wings first, kill all the androids on it, and then besiege it?"

Ling Ze doesn't have the shame of beating more people and less at all, can that be called "bullying less with more"? Is that obviously a righteous siege, okay? This is a different nature, what kind of morality does it talk about with the evil demons? side by side.

"Our next target is Briguz Fortress, where the boss of the Armstrong family can be our help, and there should be an android, Sloth the Lazy, who we can kill and maybe meet Pride the Arrogant. ”

Ling Ze has already decided on the next target, and after returning from there, they will go to Dabris again, and the master of the Ellik brothers, Izmi Cadiz, is also a very powerful helper, and when the time comes, they can also see the situation of Skar and "Greedy" Gulid, maybe everyone will be able to meet there by then.

"If you can, it would be the best outcome to be able to kill all the androids before the appointed date comes, but that "greedy" Gullid can take advantage of it, after all, he is a natural two-five-boy, even the "villain in a bottle" who is the maker cannot gain his allegiance. ”

Ling Ze's plan can be said to be one step at a time, with a certain amount of strength, and knowing the direction of everything, he can seize the opportunity, this is simply cheating, this is the same as playing the second week after clearing the game, as long as it is not a handicap, the efficiency will definitely be greatly improved.

"This time, the two of us can go to Briguz, and the two of you can go directly to Dabris to find your master, she has also undergone human refining, and her uterus and some internal organs are missing, and Hohenheim can just help her treat it."

Ling Ze arranged things very properly, and brought Aysaac Marco Dugaru to facilitate the continued study of alchemy, and Aizak Macdu Garu's alchemy is a sharp weapon against artificial people, and it is very useful to bring him with him, this guy is a very good tool man.

"Well, then, let's meet in Dabris."

For this arrangement, everyone has no opinion, after all, it's not that there is nothing to do when you go to Dabris, Dabris and Briguz both have an artificial person, but one is to be killed directly, and the other can try to cooperate, if the cooperation fails, it is okay to catch it first, in short, Gullid can be used.

After explaining these things, Ling Ze didn't stay long, he and Izak Marcodo Garu left the Rockbell house directly, and left Lisenburg directly.

After all, there is no place for them to live, so they are not here to disturb the reunion of relatives and friends.

As for the task triggered from Hohenheim, Ling Ze didn't have any plans to do it for the time being, after all, Hohenheim was not a good stubble, he couldn't defeat that man, and he hadn't mastered the skill of the "Philosopher's Stone" yet.

"Go get that skill first, and then go to Briguz, that skill is the key to my plan."

After leaving Lisenburg, Ling Ze did not let Aizac Marcodu Garu go directly to Briguz, but turned around and went back, they were going to find a guy he had forgotten before, and that was an important person.
