When the battle of the camouflaged logistics base broke out, Wang Shui was watching from the stone mountain not far away.

Sylvia's troops were all harvesting structures with dual daggers, and they didn't even use heavy firepower, for fear that these enemies would die in vain.

On the contrary, Ames's army was splashing all kinds of artillery shells and rockets as if they were not paying for money, and they were bombarding the camouflage base, and they probably wanted to cover the defenders with firepower, and then pass through here quickly.

But Wang Shui had already made up his mind to annihilate them.

On a battlefield where there was not much smoke of gunpowder, the Construct troops silently rushed into the enemy line and began to harvest lives efficiently. And in the sharp knife of the charge, the orthodox figure at the front is Sylvia, who has obtained the body of an artificial man.

She was armed with three long swords on her back, six dagger-like daggers around her waist, a flexible hunting suit of special materials, and an iron-gray metal mask on her face.

Her charge was unstoppable, and any enemy who dared to engage head-on would be split into several sections in an instant.

The silver moonlight began to coalesce on her black hair, and as the battle progressed, the moonshadow streamer dragged longer and longer.

Sylvia rushed into the artillery position, quickly neutralizing the enemy while destroying the small amount of artillery, the enemy was secretly assembling and marching, except for a large number of rocket launchers, other heavy firepower was basically absent.

Sylvia's long sword finally shattered as she slashed with another precise bullet, and she casually sent the broken sword into the body of a creature who was too close next to her, and pulled out a spare sword from her back.

Sylvia's new physical attributes are much worse than those of Wang Shui, but the combat power she exerted really made Wang Shui feel incredible, she just adapted to it for a few days and became familiar with the state of her body, so she beat Wang Shui strongly.

Fortunately, the growth of this body is limited, Wang Shui thought secretly.

Before the surprise attack of 20,000 people was annihilated, Wang Shui gave them enough time to report to the central city, and the next step was to continue to put pressure on the border and force the artificial side to negotiate peace.

As soon as the situation was about to ease, Wang Shui received another news - at the old base in the protagonist's hometown of [Lisenburg], an employee reported that [Theresa Elric] had recently had an abnormality in his body.

Is the time almost up?

Wang Shui doesn't remember when the protagonist's mother died, only that it was the impact of the illness and the epidemic.

This incident is an important driver for the protagonist's brother to enter the plot, and now there is a lot of deviation in the plot, and the protagonist's side is quite normal, but Wang Shui seems to have an idea to rush over.

The town of Lisenburg is much more prosperous than before, and the scale of the town has become larger, but under the deliberate guidance of Wang Shui, the suburbs of his old base have not been developed, and the original taste is still retained.

Returning to the place where he had begun to learn alchemy, Wang Shui knocked on the door, and he was greeted by a somewhat rickety old woman.

"Granny Binak, I'm back."

The old man had been a drinking friend of Hohenheim when he first came to the town, and he was a brilliant mechanic, but now he was very old.

"Mr. Via, I didn't expect you to come back first, thank you very much for your sponsorship of Theresa's mother and son over the years."

"No, that's what Mr. Hohenheim deserves, how is Theresa?"

The two have entered the room as they spoke, and Theresa is sitting on the sofa in the living room, with a thin blanket on her legs, eating fruit with the two protagonists, who are about six or seven years old.

She looks pretty good on the surface, but from the perspective of Wang Shui, her "qi" is weaker than the old man next to her.

Wang Shuiqu squatted down and carefully examined her faintly bloodshot eyes and facial skin.

"Mr. Hill Via, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still as young and full of youthful energy as when you first arrived."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Hornheim, my husband and I are not in the same situation. How long ago did you start having a fever, and when did you get dizzy and weak? ”

Wang Shui's words lowered Theresa's vigilance and made her think seriously about her situation.

"The fever was a week ago, and it was always bad to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and the weakness was a few years ago, but the doctor said that it was no problem, and it would get better after a little more rest, and I was used to it."

Theresa smiled softly, touching the heads of her two children, trying to hide her discomfort.

Wang Shui handed her a card full of information, and then launched the alchemy, he wanted to adjust Theresa's body with the power of [Healing] and [Restoration], but the effect was poor. In other words, she was now like an oil lamp about to burn out, and no matter how much she repaired the shell, she had to refill the fuel.

At this time, Wang Shui suddenly showed a polite smile, he took out some silver needles, disinfected them, and gave Theresa a slight stimulation to cleanse the stomach and refresh the mind.

But Theresa's problem is that her vitality is insufficient, her heart and lungs are stagnant, and the functions of her five internal organs are declining, and her "qi" is already difficult to generate on its own, and Wang Shui cannot draw qi from other parts of her body to govern herself, so Wang Shui has stabilized her life a little with the help of dragon vein energy.

Otherwise, she may not survive next summer.

But the dragon vein energy cannot directly replenish people's "qi", and Theresa's current situation, that is, she can live until next summer, should be burned out.

"Ah, I feel so much better, Mr. Viva! Thank you! ”

After about an hour of treatment, Theresa had regained a lot of strength, and she was pleasantly surprised that she was able to get up and move normally.

The two little guys were still a little alive, but when they saw that Wang Shui had cured their mother, they immediately came to their senses, and boldly approached Wang Shui's side and asked what kind of magic trick this was.

Wang Shui said a few perfunctory words and left, just called Bigak's mother-in-law and came to the main road outside.

"I'll get Mr. Hohenheim back by the end of the year." Wang Shui said very seriously.

"Is Theresa seriously ill?!"

"Only Hohenheim can keep her alive, but I don't think he will do it, and Theresa won't let him do it."

After listening to Wang Shui's words, Granny Binak was shocked at first, and then quickly returned to her blandness.

"I need ...... Mr. Via, can you confirm? Theresa she's still young......"

"Emotions are also a very stubborn cause, and her thoughts are too heavy and crush her body. Negative emotions can affect the hormonal balance in the body, and in the long run, they can cause irreparable damage to the body. I am confident in this regard, since I said that it cannot be cured, the conventional means in this world will definitely not be cured. ”

"Is that ......?"

"I'll call Mr. Hohenheim back as soon as I can, Theresa, and tell her that she'll be healthy until at least next summer."

After Wang Shui said goodbye, he immediately located Hohenheim, after all, he was arranging the means against the [villain in a bottle] at the nodes along the national land refining array, and he would not run outside the center or the national border, so the aerial drone quickly discovered him.

After informing Hohenheim that his wife was seriously ill and dying, the people sent by Wang Shui sent a full set of special tickets so that he could use the logistics network that Wang Shui had built up over the years to quickly return home.

……

……

Four days later, by the river in the small town of Riesenburg, Wang Shui met Hohenheim, who had returned home the previous night.

"Is the work going well? Mr. Hohenheim. ”

"I've heard about you, Hill Via, the Alchemist of the Mirror, the largest arms supplier in Amistolith. Thank you for taking care of them, for informing me to return, and for treating Theresa, who has surpassed me in alchemy. ”

Hohenheim said thanks, but his face was alienated and indifferent.

"What? Dissatisfied with my defection to the androids? Or do you resent me for taking care of your wife and children with the money from the sale of arms? ”

Wang Shui is very relaxed.

"It seems that they value you very much, let you know a lot of inside information, and you still maintain your respect for me. So if I want to know their purpose, what do I need to pay? ”

"Don't do that, Mr. Hohenheim, I have always regarded you as my teacher, and I respect your way of handling the Philosopher's Stone, and I am a little lacking in compassion, but I am not a mercenary merchant. They didn't confess much to me, at least the matter of the land refining formation was still hidden from me. ”

Shui Wang's explanation apparently did not satisfy Hohenheim.

"Don't you already know by now?"

"Yes, as long as you know the necessary conditions for making the Philosopher's Stone, the Blood Seal, and then deduce the land refining array from this round troubled country, it is not difficult for an alchemist of my level, in fact, there are many people who know about this, only arrogant androids think their plans are very secretive."

Hohenheim was silent for a while, he lost patience and wanted to get out of here.

"Theresa's situation, aren't you going to make a move?"

"I ...... Not qualified, the Philosopher's Stone flowing through my body didn't belong to me, and Theresa refused before I could hesitate. ”

"You've got a good wife." Wang Shui was quite emotional, seeing through life and death, it is not so simple, but he continued:

"If it were a Philosopher's Stone made from a condemned prisoner, would you use it?"

Wang Shui said as he took out a red stone from his pocket and tossed it up and down with his left hand.

"You got together with them!"

Hohenheim's face changed, and he took a step back and was about to strike, but nothing happened after the red lightning spread out.

"This! What's going on! ”

"Save your blood, you don't want to consume them indiscriminately, do you? This stone is made by myself, it has nothing to do with androids, and the material is some scum. I can tell you about the androids and their plans, but these are all my guesses, just listen to them. I only hope that you can maintain your basic trust in me and accept my help, and I don't know who else has enough strength to fight against the [Little Man in a Bottle]. ”

Wang Shui's words calmed Hohenheim a little, but he still glanced at the ground beneath his feet from time to time.

"Don't worry, what you see with your eyes may deceive you, you want to analyze the soil under your feet to attack me, but I have already changed the composition of the nearby soil, this is a special organic material, very different from the regular soil, if you can't understand it, even the Philosopher's Stone is not enough."

Under the slow confession of Wang Shui, Hohenheim gradually had the mood to talk to him.

This is a relatively ordinary rhetoric, which is roughly to use information advantages to make yourself look particularly honest, but the actor should take the initiative and say that he has a better way out, but he still chooses to be honest and easy to win the trust of others.

Observing Hohenheim's faint trust, Wang Shui smiled:

"Okay, let's make a decision first, use the soul of a murderer who is not sorry to die, to repair the body of your wife Theresa, or not? Explain in advance, even if you don't use it, I'll use it for research. ”

Hohenheim's expression management gradually became messy, and his sad and tangled appearance made Wang Shui regret it a little, after all, he didn't want to play with other people's emotions and souls.

"No!"

Hohenheim decisively refused, and a man who had lived for more than 400 years and was able to communicate with more than 500,000 wailing souls shed pure tears that belonged to humanity.

Wang Shui sighed, he lost, lost the bet to Sylvia.

Although Sylvia didn't know much about Hohenheim, she just chose the opposite outcome to fight Aqua Wang, who himself felt that Hohenheim would use the "clean" Philosopher's Stone.

"Take her away." Wang Shui said.

Hohenheim slowly sat down on the ground, wiped away his tears, looked at the river quietly, and asked, "Go?" Where to go? ”

"Take her with me to atone for her sins, uh, I mean take her out for a walk, to see the beauty of the natural mountains and rivers, and to accompany her during the last period of time, it is much better than her to die here quietly by herself."

As he spoke, Wang Shui took out a large gourd from the suitcase at his feet, which was the kind of sun-dried medicinal gourd, which was depicted with the lines of alchemy and alchemy. Aqua regia threw the gourd to Hohenheim.

"You should have seen this, the elixir, this is what I refined for Theresa's physical condition, one pill a week, until next summer, her body will be stronger than you, if there is an abnormality in the body, you can eat more, you can also eat a little to get physical enhancement......

Ahem, the refining method is engraved on the gourd, if you need herbs, please contact my company. Edward, they can be handed over to Granny Binak for the time being. ”

Hohenheim looked down at the gourd in his hand, and after a few seconds of silence, he asked:

"Why did you help me so much...... Is it because of those alchemical knowledge? ”

"No, I just hope you can complete the work with quality and quantity, I don't want to be busy for so many years, and the business empire that I have worked so hard to build will be ruined by those artificial people. Alright, it's time for you to go home, and I'll call the professionals tomorrow afternoon to discuss the specific plan against the androids. ”

Hohenheim left, and Wang Shui still stood by the river, watching the river flow quietly.

"What are you thinking?" Sylvia asked suddenly in the Mind Network.

"Considering whether the original plot can still be carried out normally, although I can leave this world at any time, I still want to see the ending and see the power of God."

"And you're still helping Theresa?"

"Tsk, I, although I sometimes want to watch something heavy, I always look forward to a happy ending to the story.

"Tragedy is the destruction of valuable things in life for others to see", many "clever" authors will always try to play with tragedy, after all, this is the most touching technique.

I once went from hating tragedy to liking tragedy, and of course I liked it because of the skill of the authors, not because I liked to see people being tortured.

Alas, after that, I will often be infected by many real tragedies in reality, my life, the first short period of plain and warm, the biggest tragedy I have experienced is probably that I have achieved nothing.

Now that I have an exciting and interesting life, I have a special situation, I have lived in instability and tried to improve myself, I have experienced some misery myself, and now I seem to be much indifferent to this kind of life and death, I just wondered if I am also starting to become extraordinary?

Sorry, it's a bit incoherent to jump out, and there will always be some inexplicable emotion when you read too many books.

As for meddling in Hohenheim...... It's just my hypocrisy, I think the separation of life and death is painful enough, and it is too much not to be together in the last time. ”

Wang Shui said a lot, but Sylvia just listened quietly, and after a long time replied:

"No, you're still ordinary, mortal."

I'm sorry, I'm sick, I've been alternating between hot and cold very frequently recently, and I've stayed up all night (woo woo woo my super brother, my three maggot brothers), today I suddenly had a fever that made me very uncomfortable, and I was dizzy just editing the article, but don't worry, I've been taking medicine and getting better at night.

I don't have to keep the manuscript but I don't have the energy to polish it, and I'll see if it will be better tomorrow.

I'm going to get something to eat first, guys.
