Chapter 229: Alchemy
PS: The third update
When she found Meng Siqi, Meng Siqi was sitting next to a waterhole, her tears had dried up, looking at the sparkling pool in a daze, and she didn't even notice that Xia Yu walked behind her. Looking at Meng Siqi's slender back, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, it turned out that this lawless little princess also had such an unknown side.
Xia Yu hugged Xiaoqi, sat down next to Meng Siqi, was silent for a while, and asked, "Are you better?"
Meng Siqi was still staring at the calm water in front of her, and said a simple "um".
Xiao Qi, who was sitting in Xia Yu's arms, saw her mother looking sullen, and a cute little face couldn't help but be sad, she used her hands and feet at the same time, crawled into Meng Siqi's arms from Xia Yu's arms, grabbed Meng Siqi's cheeks with two little hands, and said in a milky voice: "Mom, don't be angry, okay?"
Looking at Xiaoqi's pink little face, Meng Siqi finally smiled softly, reached out and rubbed Xiaoqi's little head: "Don't worry, Xiaoqi, mom is not angry anymore." ”
Seeing her mother smiling, Xiaoqi also laughed with "hey, hey", her lovely smiling face was so pure and flawless, as if it could heal a qiē sadness. Looking at her little smiling face, Meng Siqi's mood couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.
At this time, Xia Yu suddenly spoke: "Meng Siqi, in fact, there is a question that has been bothering me since just now, I don't know if you can answer it for me." ”
Meng Siqi couldn't help but wonder when she saw Xia Yu's mysterious look: "Say it." ”
"Your surname is Meng, why is your father's surname Lei?"
"Hah?!" Meng Siqi raised her eyebrows in surprise. looked at Xia Yu with an idiot look, and said in disbelief. "Xia Yu, what kind of stupid question are you? My father's name is Meng Tian, and Emperor Lei is just his honorific title, you don't even know it! Just like King Wei and King Zheng, no one will call the true name of the king of a country, okay?"
"Oh, I see. Xia Yu pretended to be suddenly enlightened and clapped his hands.
Meng Siqi is so smart in ice and snow, after being surprised, she immediately reacted, with Xia Yu's IQ of playing with the dead. How could he not know that the Thunder Emperor was just an honorific title? It must be to distract yourself and make yourself feel better, this guy...... Are you worried about me? Thinking of this, Meng Siqi's heart couldn't help but warm slightly. But on the surface, he still pretended to be angry: "I said you actually understand." Deliberately pretending not to understand. ”
"Oops, has it been discovered?" Xia Yu said with a smile.
"It's just that your acting skills are terrible. ”
"Haha. However, your father turned out to be the Thunder Emperor, which really scared me. Xia Yu put away his smiling face. The expression became serious.
[Emperor] is the highest level of title in the entire human world, and only those who meet two conditions can be called emperor. First, it must be the monarch of a superpower, and the Thunder State fully meets this condition. In fact, before Meng Tian ascended the throne, although the Lei Kingdom was still a complete country in name, in fact it was already in a state of fragmentation, and the princes from all walks of life divided the Lei Kingdom, hollowing out the central royal power, and the country was poor and weak, and it was already on the verge of collapse.
However, Meng Tianzhen can be described as a genius in the world, after he ascended the throne, it only took five years to pacify the princes of all walks of life and complete the reunification of the Lei Empire. Under his leadership, the Thunder Empire ushered in a second spring, transforming from a decaying country back into a superpower, and this qiē took less than a decade.
Second, it is necessary to have the strength of the half-immortal level, this condition Meng Tian naturally also met, and even among the half-immortals, Meng Tian is also the top of the cun, the strength is deeply hidden, quite terrifying, there are two half-immortal powerhouses who died in his hands alone, and there are countless under the Great Yuan Realm. The strength of the demi-immortal is destined to be extremely rare, Meng Tian killed two demi-immortals alone, this number seems to be very small, but it is already quite terrifying.
As for those who do not have the strength of a half-immortal and are the king, they can only be called [king], just like King Wei, King Zheng, and King Li. And those who have the strength of a half-immortal, but are not a monarch, or a monarch, but the national strength is not enough to dominate one side, is called [emperor]. The monarch of Hua is called [Emperor Hua], but he has another name, and the world also calls him another name.
In today's world, large and small countries are dotted around the Central Plains, and there are naturally many people who can be called kings. However, there are only seven people who can be called emperors, and they are called [Seven Emperors] by the world, and even fewer can be called emperors, only two. There are only three superpowers in the world now, the Thunder Empire to the west, the Sea Empire to the east, and the Snow Empire to the north. However, the Snow Empire has not appeared for more than 50 years without a half-immortal powerhouse, which also leads to their palace war is very cruel, in order to compete for power, the royal family dumps and kills each other, since the death of the previous Snow Emperor, there has been no election of a new Snow Emperor, and the national strength of the Snow Empire is also not as good as a year.
Although Xia Yu nests at home every day, he knows the general trend of the world well, and naturally he has heard the name of the Thunder Emperor, but he never expected that Meng Siqi would be the daughter of the Thunder Emperor. Thinking that he had once shared a bed with the daughter of the Thunder Emperor, he was really a little excited to think about it.
Talking about the words "Thunder Emperor", Meng Siqi's tone was very disdainful: "Hmph! What's so great about Thunder Emperor?"
"Uh......" Xia Yu was speechless, and Meng Siqi could say this.
Then, Meng Siqi suddenly sighed lightly, she looked at the pool in front of her, her thoughts seemed to have returned to the past, and her eyes were full of helpless sadness: "In your eyes, my father must be a great character, but if he can, I really hope he is just an ordinary person." ”
Xia Yu looked at Meng Siqi's sad side face, and didn't know what to say for a while, he had no parents since he was a child, and there was no way to understand Meng Siqi's pain.
"Forget it, don't mention these things. Meng Siqi raised her hands, stretched her waist, and laughed heartily as usual. Then she turned her head to look at Xia Yu. "Xia Yu, you said that you can repair the Silver Emperor Crown, is it true?
"If I don't have the slightest certainty, how dare I say big things?" Xia Yu chuckled.
"Then how do you cultivate, do you use the art of refining?"
Xia Yu asked rhetorically: "Do you think that with my refining level, I can repair the immortal weapon?"
"No, I can't. Meng Siqi replied neatly.
"Hehe, isn't that the end of it. ”
Meng Siqi couldn't help but be confused: "Repair magic weapons, what else can you use without alchemy?"
Xia Yu stood up, smiled mysteriously at Meng Siqi, and said confidently: "Alchemy." ”
[Alchemy] is a special ability in Fullmetal Alchemist, or it can also be called science. Alchemy is the process of understanding, decomposing, and recomposing, and through the power of guò [circle], that is, refining into an array, the form of matter can be changed at will. In layman's terms, it means that one thing can be turned into another. However, alchemy does not come out of nowhere, its essence is equivalent exchange, the quality and elements of the raw materials and the finished product must be the same, that is to say, it cannot be refined into metal with water, because it does not contain metals in water, and it cannot be refined from a single seed, because it is not equal in quality, so it cannot be refined.
Xia Yu had actually been thinking about how to repair the Silver Emperor Crown a long time ago, because now that his relationship with Meng Siqi was getting better and better, the burden in his heart that had broken her magic weapon had been blaming Xia Yu, and "that" had happened. Therefore, while Xia Yu was studying puppetry every day, he was always thinking about the Silver Emperor Crown.
Later, Xia Yu inadvertently remembered that in the steel forge, there was a scene where Al used alchemy to repair the radio, so Xia Yu had the idea of whether he could also use alchemy to repair the Silver Emperor's crown. It's just that before this plan could be implemented, the Thunder Emperor came. (To be continued......)
