Returning to the ordinary, happy, and fulfilling daily life, time always flies.

The biggest change in the past two years was probably in the late spring and early summer of the following year, when Hohenheim and Theresa, who had been traveling for a long time, returned to the small town of Lisenburg and spent a wonderful summer with their two children.

Theresa died, and Hohenheim fled and resumed his work of atonement.

He was also a not-so-competent husband and father.

For Wang Shui, life has become a fulfilling learning journey, not only those professional alchemy, magic, mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge, but also the knowledge as a president and a leader, he is leading a small country to develop rapidly and is changing the world.

On October 3, 1910, the world line forcibly corrected itself, and the two Edward brothers had already come into contact with alchemy knowledge much later, but they still carried out human refining on this day.

Wang Shui didn't even pay much attention to it, he thought that in the end Theresa did not die suddenly, and in the end Hohenheim was also by his wife and son's side, and the two little ones could slowly accept people's birth, old age, sickness and death, and would not think about resurrecting their mother.

He has only been living here for the past two years because of the good scenery, pleasant climate, and relatively complete laboratories on the side of the old base.

On this fateful day, at midnight, Wang Shui sensed the familiar energy fluctuations, and he slowly put down the pen in his hand, got up and went outside. In the distance, there was a blue glow in the direction of the Hohenheim house, and there was a palpitating smell there.

Alas, what a mess.

Wang Shui shook his head, drove his car over, and when he arrived outside Hohenheim's house, he happened to run into Granny Binak's mother-in-law and her little granddaughter Wen Li, who came to check, and the two of them were just a little worried, not particularly anxious.

"Good evening...... Mr. Via? Why did you come here too, was it because of the uncomfortable feeling just now? ”

Wen Li, who can be regarded as the future heroine in this group drama, is still very young, but her behavior is already quite polite and generous, and she is also very sensible, and she knows how to greet politely after seeing Wang Shui, but she still can't understand the meaning of Wang Shui's serious expression.

But the mother-in-law next to her, Binak's eyes widened, but she raised these two little fellows as her own grandsons, so she asked eagerly:

"Is something wrong?"

Wang Shui nodded, walked quickly to the main door, stretched out his hand, and the door was locked inside.

"I've got the key here......" Wen Li said as she went to pull out the key, but before she could finish speaking, she heard a thud.

At the same time, Wang Shui couldn't unscrew it, and his left hand had quickly touched his waist, and he quickly pulled out his gun, and the bullet accurately broke the door lock.

Wen Li was startled by the sound of a gunshot, Wang Shui didn't care, but his right hand burst open the door, in fact, it was no different from him kicking the gate open, but Wang Shui felt that he would be more handsome with a gun.

Wang Shui seemed to be in a hurry and went straight to the attic, but in fact, he had already expected the above things, and the moment he opened the wooden door of the attic, a scorching smell with sulfur compounds mixed with the smell of blood rushed to the three people at the door.

Wen Li just frowned, and after seeing the scene inside, she shouted "Edward" and rushed to the protagonist in the pool of blood.

Arriving before her was the card thrown out by Wang Shui, and after the card landed, a large amount of blue lightning erupted, which immediately stopped Edward's bleeding and healed the wound after losing his entire right arm and left leg below the knee.

Edward, who had lost so much blood, just muttered "Alphons" and fainted a few seconds later.

Wang Shui first glanced at the humanoid creature refined by the two brothers in the human body refining array, and then moved his gaze to the blood mark that preserved the soul of his younger brother Alphons.

From the point of view of "qi", the soul that has lost its physical body has become a separate and simple "qi", which has lost the effect of transformation and recovery, but it is also more pure, but now his younger brother Al is not conscious, his soul is too weak, and he has fallen into a dormant state.

"Mr. Via! Edward! Can Edward still be saved?! ”

The large amount of blood scared Wen Li, but she still faced it bravely, she was trying to drag Edward out, there was a car from Aqua regia outside, which could take Edward to the hospital.

"Don't worry, he's fine." Wang Shui patted Wen Li's head, and then walked to the armor attached to the Al Blood Seal.

"Mr. Via has already treated Edward, calm down, Wen Li, put him down to the wall first, and go down there to get a basin of water. What about Mr. Via, Alphonse? ”

She was much calmer than Granny Nako, she knew that Wang Shui was very strong, and she even learned from Hohenheim about Wang Shui's economic strength, and even heard Hornheim ridicule, saying that in addition to him, Mr. Hill Via could also let Theresa live, but Theresa refused.

Granny Nakko is now more worried about her missing brother Al.

Wang Shui knocked on the iron armor and said casually: "Al is here, but he is unconscious, let's clean up for Edward first, well, put the two of them in your mechanical workshop first and then clean it up, I don't think they will want to face this when they wake up." ”

The "this" in Wang Shui's mouth refers to the charred humanoid corpse in the large iron basin in the center of the human body refining array.

Sure enough, with the accuracy of alchemy, the basin containing the materials will not be refined together, and the rumors on the Internet before were just a kind of ridicule.

"Is this? Theresa ......"

"No," Wang Shui shook his head, "With the computing power, spiritual strength, and simple refining array on the ground of the two of them, it is impossible to complete the directional refining, let alone people whose souls have dissipated, but it is useless to say these now, let's save people first." ”

As he spoke, the arc of Aqua Wang's fingertips surged, and he instantly changed the material of the armor where the blood mark of Al's soul was stored, and used extremely strong organic ceramic steel to form a meshing cake-like structure, protecting Al's blood mark like a tightly clasped pocket watch.

He threw the whole suit of armor into a large wooden box, put on a blanket and threw Edward into it, and then casually picked up the large wooden box and went downstairs lightly, Wen Li, who was rushing up the stairs with a basin of water, looked shocked and quickly made way of space.

It's just an ordinary autumn night outside, and the whole world is calm, but the story of these two little guys has begun.

……

……

"Al!"

Edward screamed and sat up from the hospital bed, reaching out his hands to grab his brother in his dream, but he did not grasp it, and his vision was only his left hand.

Soon the door opened, Wen Li rushed in, and when she saw Edward wake up, she immediately rushed up and hugged Edward, shouting happily "You are finally awake", but at this time Edward was more worried about his brother.

"Al! What about Alphonse! ”

"Al is outside......" Wen Li subconsciously answered, Edward had already thrown away the quilt with his only remaining left hand, turned over and got out of bed, and then immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground!

People who have just lost a limb are not able to get used to being incomplete quickly, they will always feel that their limb is still there, and the average person can stand on one leg, but Edward can't.

There was an inexplicable pain in the severed part of his left leg and right shoulder, and the burning and paralysis, pins and needles and the discomfort of being crushed were even heavier, and the young Edward was instantly sweating profusely.

But he gritted his teeth, his mouth and nose snorting as he scrambled outside with his remaining left hand and right foot.

"Stop! Edward! Stop! There are wheelchairs here! Wen Li shouted angrily, unceremoniously pressed Edward, and pulled him to the wheelchair next to him.

Little Wen Li burst out with great strength at this time, and she straightened Edward's head, making his terrified eyes look into her eyes, and said loudly:

"Quiet, calm down, Al is fine, he and Mr. Via are outside, calm down, I'll push you out."

It was the calm gaze of his familiar childhood playmate that gave Edward hope, and he gradually quieted down, although cold sweat was still coming out and his breathing was still rapid, but he did show his mature side and nodded heavily.

Edward remembered the details of that night as Win pushed him out the door, his gaze dodging, and when he saw the familiar suit of armor leaning down against the wall in his familiar posture, Edward's tears could no longer be stopped, and his eyes gradually lost their spirit.

"Brother......

Alphonse's voice came from the armor, and the empty armor made the voice reverberate somewhat, and Edward's body shook, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look at his brother, nor dare to speak.

"Wen Li, dissolve this pill in saline and give it to Edward to drink, otherwise even if he won't faint in pain, he will be dehydrated and shocked, and it will be difficult to inject a drip without a hand."

Wang Shui said hellish jokes, but no one in the room could laugh, and no one had the leisure to be angry, Wen Li obediently took the pill to prepare, and Edward didn't react at all.

"Mr. Via! Granny Benakol says you can cure your brother! ”

At this time, Alphonse, who had only his soul left, suddenly broke the silence in the room, and Wang Shui, who was writing and drawing at the dispensing table, also stopped.

"She should have said that I can help you recover."

Wang Shui's words made Edward raise his head in surprise, he was not in a pure daze just now, he was thinking about the knowledge that his younger brother and himself would recover, but although he had studied alchemy systematically and deeply with his master, he had no knowledge of this at all.

He knew that the original limb was needed for medical amputation, and that his right arm, left leg, and Alphonse's body had physically disappeared.

Hearing Wang Shui's words, he was very shocked, his eyes were immediately full of expectation, and his voice trembled a little and pleaded:

"Mr. Via...... Will you really be able to restore Al's body! Please......"

"Equivalent exchange! Have you even forgotten this? Changing back to Alphonse's body is not something that can be done by preparing the materials that make up the body, do you really know what you did? Wang Shui was about to be laughed at by the two brothers.

"That'...... Is it okay to trade my body for it? ”

"Brother!" Al next to him shouted loudly, "No! Mr. Via, I don't want to trade my brother for a body! I'm fine now! Let's restore my brother's hands and feet first! It should be a lot easier! ”

"Quiet." Wang Shui said softly, and he threw a stack of scratch paper in his hand on the ground so that the two brothers could see clearly, and what was painted on it was the human body they had depicted that night, and there were many additional extensions.

"I don't think you understand your childish thoughts, do you really understand the meaning of the symbols you have written? Do you know what it means to be "sacrificed"?! The most terrible thing in the world is to let the ignorant, fearless and arrogant people have the power to dare to watch the "truth" at the level of the two of you?

Heh, it was no longer a problem to restore the severed limb at the level of modern medicine and alchemy, but because of your "sacrifice" behavior, it is now more difficult to restore Edward's hands and feet than to restore Al's body, Edward sacrificed himself twice! ”

When Wang Shui said this, Wen Li had already walked in with a cup, and Granny Binak followed, but she didn't interject, nor did she say anything to the two brothers, she didn't want to touch the two children's now lost and sensitive hearts at will, and she also believed in this Mr. Wei, he said that there was a way, and he was also qualified to criticize.

"Save Al...... first," Edward whispered, his attention not on the glass of water that Winley handed him, and he didn't think about drinking.

"Drink the medicine." Wang Shui said lightly, he didn't use a threatening tone, but Edward's body shook, and he honestly drank the pale green, bitter and salty medicine.

Wang Shui didn't sell it, and said directly:

"I won't save you, even your parents won't agree to me saving you, as for why," Wang Shui looked at Edward in surprise and looked into his eyes, "This is a lesson for you two arrogant people, the way to recover your body needs to be found by the two of you yourself, and I will give any support other than direct help."

Guaranteeing that you will not die easily is already the greatest kindness I can give. ”

After Wang Shui finished speaking, the Ellik brothers fell into a deeper depression, although Bigak was a little moved, but her eyes were very firm, and she approved of Wang Shui's approach.

If Wang Shui had Wang Shui's support, the two brothers would not cherish their lives even more.

Wen Li pleaded with a face, and she didn't know what to say, so she could only watch Wang Shui get up and leave.

"Wen Li, take Edward's body data and go to the [Trinity Mechanical Armor Workshop] in the town to get two sets of [Special Armor], I have already greeted them."

"Good!"

As soon as she heard the [Special Armor], Wen Li instantly became energetic.

Wang Shui waved his hand, and at the same time as leaving, the scratch paper on the ground full of human body refining knowledge instantly spontaneously combusted into ashes, no, it was so clean that there was no trace of dust.

With Wang Shui leaving, Granny Binak and Wen Li also left the place, leaving room for the two brothers to communicate.

The atmosphere in the room was less oppressive, but it was quickly filled with depression.

"Brother......

Cowering by the wall, Alphonse stood up, commanding his massive armor to crouch down beside his brother, then carefully leaning against his wheelchair.

"I'm sorry, Al...... Makes you lose your body and ...... He also killed his mother again......"

Edward remembered the night when the resurrected 'mother' had reached out to him after they had paid a great price. The thought of this image made his heart ache even more, and he clearly remembered that the resurrected 'mother' soon died again.

"Nope! Brother, Mr. Via said that it was not our mother who was resurrected! Rather, it is the complete creation of a new "person", our body is paid for the lack of knowledge, sacrificing the body to see the knowledge about the refinement of the human body, and simply forming the human body will not consume our body!

Mr. Via helped me stabilize my soul, I just remembered that night yesterday, and it was my soul that beckoned to you in the body of the newborn "man", when I lost my body and was quickly trapped in that empty shell, but that body was also rapidly decaying......"

Edward was surprised, but his body relaxed a little as if he had suddenly been relieved of a burden...... It's good that he didn't kill his mother again!

At this time, the elixir of aqua regia took effect, and the pain caused by [Phantom Pain Syndrome] was suppressed, and Edward solemnly said to his younger brother with the new strength that emerged in his body:

"Al! Since Mr. Via said that there is a way to restore you in the world, I will do it anyway! I'll get you back to normal, trust me! ”

"I believe, brother! But we're going to recover together! ”

With the intervention of Wang Shui, the two brothers recovered their spirits earlier than the original, but their future road will not be much smoother.

After the code was finished, I went to watch the game, thinking it had been uploaded...... Or just finished dinner, and started the night code word stage only to find out that it was not released......

Anyway, congratulations to WBG!
