Wang Shui's character is average, but occasionally, he will also speak and count.

Giving the Edward brothers hope, Wang Shui did not do it immediately, but began to look through all the books about synthetic beasts in this villa.

"Edward, Al, you two go and help me sift through this brute's recent research notes, bring over all the materials in his laboratory, and copy all the refining arrays, so that there are no mistakes or omissions."

Edward and the others hurried to look through it, while Wang Shui began to look through all the books in the study outside.

Wang Shui is not cramming temporarily, he is really memorizing and understanding this knowledge at a high speed, he needs to figure out the way of synthesis in order to reverse crack, and he can't be sloppy in this regard.

In order to prevent mixing up or missing reading, Wang Shui also piled the book horizontally on the ground while reading.

His reading speed was terrifying, and by the time the sunlight had completely disappeared, the books that had been piled up all over the villa had already piled up castles on the ground.

After quickly going through all the information, Wang Shui also handwrote more than a dozen pages of information.

Edward and Al looked at the things that Wang Shui sorted out, and they could understand it at first, but when they wanted to follow the calculation, their brains quickly slowed down, and the two of them only felt that their thinking was unusually stuck.

Eleven hours passed, Wang Shui subconsciously took the hot milk handed by Al and drank it, then put down the pen in his hand and exhaled heavily.

"Mr. Via, do you want to give him something to eat? Or, put him down first? ”

"It's been two years, Al, and you're still maintaining this excess kindness. Is hanging up also torture? Do you want me to eat and drink for him?

I am a good talker, as long as he is willing to merge with the bugs, and taste the pain of his soul and body being torn apart and mixed, I can satisfy him with any request, and I am afraid that he will only want to die at that time. ”

As Wang Shui spoke, he had already stood up from the chair stacked with books, and he stretched his body.

"Well, there's no need to blame yourself at this level, you two...... Help me clear a clearing, three meters square. ”

Wang Shui originally wanted to say, "Let's go out first", he didn't want the two brothers to see some dangerous knowledge, but after struggling for half a second, he still acquiesced to the two brothers' onlookers.

After all, their personalities and three views are not bad, and they should not grow into bad people who abuse alchemy.

The vacant space was quickly cleaned up, and Wang Shui returned to the car and took out a set of special soft-tip pens, the nib of which was made of metal, but very soft.

This kind of ink is similar to a brush, and the ink storage is similar to a fountain pen, and the nib is large and small, flat and spherical, some like a brush, and some like a thin needle.

This set of tools was made by Wang Shui, but he didn't invent it, yes, this is the kind of alchemy pen in the main world of the dream system.

The pen curtain is shaped like a tactical belt and can be easily fastened around the waist.

This refining requires extremely high precision, so Wang Shui used professional equipment.

The intricate lines quickly took shape under his pen, the ink dried, and the nib passed through, leaving a uniform and stable black trace.

After the ground was drawn, the blue lightning flow from Wang Shui's fingertips, and the burst of energy shattered the surrounding books, and then quickly integrated into white thick cardboard, and the next content was to be drawn on these 19 cardboards.

Wang Shui's huge preparations made the two Edward brothers watch with awe, and they didn't dare to disturb them, but when Wang Shui finished the last refining formation, the two brothers could no longer be calm.

"Mr. Via! This! This is! ”

"That's right, the human body is refining into a formation, which is the same as the framework you used back then, and the girl's body has been consumed, so her body needs to be reshaped.

In fact, not only her body, but also her soul needs to be reshaped, and the specific knowledge is recorded in the "0", "3", "11", and "17" refining arrays, and "0" is this on the ground.

Wang Shui gave a brief introduction, and at the same time stood up the cardboard all over the room, and the human-dog synthetic beast and the beast Xiutak were also placed into the refining array, and there was a faint pattern of placement.

The two brothers were silent for a moment in shock, and then Alphonse couldn't help but cautiously ask the question:

"Mr. Viva, you ...... Is it possible to resurrect the dead? ”

Wang Shui stopped what he was doing, looked at the two brothers seriously, and said in a very certain tone:

"No, but it depends on how you define death. I can tell you unambiguously that the dead cannot be resurrected, especially those whose souls have been dissipated, and they cannot be resurrected under any circumstances, not even "God" or "truth".

I thought you'd remember it when you saw despair, but didn't you think for so long that with my and Hohenheim's abilities, you wouldn't be able to cure Theresa? It was she who chose death, and if you still love her, don't disturb her sleep. ”

"Mom chose to die by herself!?"

Edward was even more confused, he was now in a complicated mood and it was difficult to think calmly, he could only look at Wang Shui, expecting Wang Shui to tell him the details.

But Wang Shui didn't mean to answer directly, he put on six special rings engraved with refining arrays, and raised his hands above his head.

There was an instant flash of lightning in the room!

The Edward brothers' vision was filled with black and white light, and all 19 cardboards floated in the air and began to rotate according to a certain pattern, one of which flew directly above the ground to form a formation, rotating and looking down on the audience.

"It's rare to get together today, I'll be a little more verbose, how much do you know about [Equivalent Exchange]?

When the contemporary price is relatively cheap, everyone thinks that [equivalent exchange] is very reasonable and profitable. After all, charcoal can be exchanged for diamonds, and scrap iron can be exchanged for steel, but is this also [equivalent]? ”

Wang Shui's mouth happened to be idle when he launched the large-scale alchemy.

"On the other hand, once the price becomes expensive and the product becomes cheap, everyone will feel very lost, so no one will exchange stainless steel for scrap iron, people always seek profit, always seek profit and avoid disadvantage, this is not equivalent.

If the cost and result are close, and then mixed with catalysts such as [Ethics], [Morality], [Humanity], the alchemist will become dangerous and crazy.

I was going to wait until you were older to tell you that it would take at least 10 lives to save Theresa.

Now, I would like to ask you, if you were to exchange 10 heinous criminals for your mother's life, would you think you would gain or lose? Will you do it decisively? ”

Wang Shui's words stunned the two brothers, and then silence.

"You seem to understand her choice? That's good, although I don't agree, I also respect Theresa's choice. Now that you know the truth and learn to think, then come and practice it immediately, and I will test you with a few questions. ”

As Wang Shui's arm was lowered, a bright light shone brightly under the cardboard that floated in the air in the middle of the room.

The two Edward brothers subconsciously looked over, and then they were even more shocked.

They saw a stone gate, a gate that existed in reality—the Gate of Truth!

The black and white lightning that stirred in the audience calmed down a lot, and the nerves of the two brothers were already a little numb, and their emotions had not rested since they discovered Shutak's evil deeds today.

At this time, they could only look at Wang Shui blankly, waiting for this gentleman, who was not a teacher but was better than a teacher, to explain.

"You should be familiar with it, yes, this is the door of truth, my door of truth. By learning the knowledge of synthetic beasts, I have located the information of reverse synthesis, and now as long as I pay the price and open this door, I can get the correct solution of reverse refining, isn't it fair and profitable? ”

Wang Shui smiled slightly at the two brothers who were in a daze, and continued:

"Because I have enough knowledge, I only need to consume 0.35 complete lives to see this part of the "truth", which is probably all my body below the abdomen, and the soul corresponding to this part of the body.

But that's not enough, we have to pay the price of reshaping the girl's body, and in order to complete the refining of the human body, we have to construct the body with extreme precision.

After that, there is still a soul, the little girl's soul has a lot of damage or even mutilation, and it needs a soul of the same value to repair, but only a complete soul is not enough, there is also memory, fortunately, the price of memory is relatively cheap, it is really not possible We can make it up ourselves.

The cost of repairing my body and soul is about "0.92" full lives, and if I count the "0.35" cost of acquiring knowledge, it is not enough to consume me......

Okay, it seems that you have understood the question, the first question, I, Hill Via, should I sacrifice myself to save this little girl? ”

The two brothers shook their heads in silence, without any entanglement, they didn't think that Wang Shui should sacrifice himself.

"Okay, the first question is a scoring question, full marks, and then the second question - now the refining array and the state of the little girl can be maintained for 30 minutes, and if there is no "1.27" complete life in 30 minutes, she will disappear forever and disappear in pain.

Oh no, now that the price has gone up, her soul is starting to crumble, and now it's going to be "1.3".

The longer it drags on, the higher the price, listen to Edward, you have experienced sacrifice, your current value is about "0.8" or more, Al only has a soul, he is "about 0.5", and your current value is just enough [equivalent exchange].

Believe in my technology, I can give you two exactly a few tenths of a life left, so that you can live a few years, how about it, change it or not? ”

Edward hesitated, and so did Al, but for just a few seconds, Edward finally shook his head.

"If you hesitate, it's not a perfect score, and you are only passing the second question."

Wang Shui didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Next is the third question, Shutak, this beast father, his life is "1", if you add Edward's right leg and Al's ten years of soul life, you can also complete the exchange, this time, are you willing?"

Edward really hesitated again, he held back for a long time, and finally said:

"Give this bastard a little life and let him take the judgment he deserves......"

As he finished speaking, the smiles of the two brothers who Wang Shui originally wanted to take the examination disappeared, and he looked at Alphonse with a cold face and asked:

"Al, what do you think?"

Alphons' huge armor body shook and said with a little stumbling:

"I ...... I respect my brother's choice...... But...... But his legs ......"

"Do you want me to pay for a leg in his place?"

"Nope! No, Mr. Via! ”

Al immediately denied it, but Wang Shui's tone at this time was already obviously angry:

"And Edward, you actually let me spare this beast's life for a little bit?! And you actually believe in the military so much? Don't you want your hands to get blood? Heh, or do you want my hands to get blood on them? Then I really thank you for your gentleness.

You two, zero points, after today, don't appear in my sight for half a year, and you are not allowed to ask for any knowledge. ”

After Wang Shui finished speaking, he took out an ordinary alchemy pen and flicked it like a sword, and the bright red ink like blood was thrown out, and these inks were suspended in the air and gathered, and finally condensed into a small red pebble.

Wang Shui raised his left hand and slowly clenched it with force, as if the air in his hand had created a great resistance.

As he clenched his fist, the red pebble quickly turned to ashes.

At the same time, black and white lightning burst out of the air and also fell on the bodies of the beast father Shutak and the human-canine synthetic, and their bodies were quickly disintegrated by the lightning.

Wang Shui raised his left hand high, and the cardboard in the whole room began to rotate at an accelerated pace, and emitted light, and they moved at high speed to form rays, and these rays formed a larger, three-dimensional refining array!

Boom –

A dull sound acting on the soul sounded, and the [Door of Truth] opened, and the black, white and gray [Eyes of Truth] looked at the three people in the room indifferently, and Wang Shui returned with the same indifferent gaze.

By the time Edward and Alphonse recovered from the shock, it was as if they had lost some of their memories.

Everything in the room had turned to ashes, especially the cardboard, and the blue-white ash was flying towards the open window.

The royal water had already left, and only Edward and Al were left in the room, as well as Nina, the little girl on the floor.

Wang Shui didn't leave any message, didn't warn the two not to talk about his powers, and didn't tell them how to explain to the military about Shutak's disappearance, but the two brothers could sense that this was Wang Shui's homework for them.

"Brother, are we wrong?"

Alphonse asked, a little aggrieved, and immediately checked on Nina, who was wrapped in Edward's red trench coat and fell asleep with a gentle expression.

"I don't know...... No, we were wrong. ”

Edward suddenly came to his senses, and he curled up on the wall, crossed his legs, and whispered:

Mr. Via is right, [equivalent exchange] is indeed part of the "truth", but the equivalence here is not the equivalence in our eyes, but the equivalence in the "truth", from the perspective of "God".

In the eyes of the truth, even Mr. Via is only a life worth "1", even equivalent to that bastard of Shutak...... But we don't think so, and Mr. Via doesn't think so...... But I don't think Mr. Via is trying to tell us about this superficial concept. ”

"What Mr. Via wants to teach us is right selfishness, and decisive punishment for the wicked?"

Al asked, and he wasn't sure.

Edward shook his head:

"Cherishing one's own life should not be called selfishness, and it is extremely irresponsible to exchange one's own life for the life of others, even if it is an acquaintance or a cherished person...... I think that's what Mr. Via is trying to tell us.

As for Shutak's question, Mr. Via meant that the military didn't care if Shutak killed his wife and daughter, and they should be more interested in Shutak's alchemy...... What Mr. Via wants to teach us is "decisiveness". ”

The two brothers were speculating about Wang Shui's intentions and discussing how to explain it to the military, but one thing was certain, they would never reveal Wang Shui's great power to the military.

Wang Shui, on the other side, was just angry with Edward's idea of letting Xiu Tucker live for a while.

If it weren't for the sake of saving the Philosopher's Stone, Wang Shui would really have left Xiu Tucker's life, pinching him with all kinds of messy souls, giving him a body that will always fester, and regenerating forever, torturing him for decades.

Alas, unknowingly having been in this world for more than ten years, Wang Shui feels that he is already old and kind-hearted.

This alchemy and the teaching of the three views was already Wang Shui's last patience.

He specially taught the two little guys to be decisive and ruthless, and now it seems that he is too idle, and it is better to do more research if he has this time.

As for what the simple addition and subtraction of life will have on the two brothers, Mr. Wang Shui is no longer interested in checking the homework after class.
