Chapter 559: Studying
Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie, the Sacred Star of the Wall of Sighs. At the beginning, the Edward brothers went to the strange city of Milos in the west. It was a circular city built on a huge hill in a complex canyon. There was only one railway passing through the criss-crossing canyons to connect Milos with the outside world. Edward described it as a balloon-like city.
Milos is located on a sunny hill, but there is also a group of people from the neighboring country Creta in the canyon. They are obviously just neighbors, but they are clearly divided into yin and yang. Milos, who is high up, maintains peace in the sun and throws garbage directly to the bottom of the valley, regardless of the feelings of the residents at the bottom of the valley.
It was in this sunny city that Duran and two team members leisurely enjoyed a moment of peace, and then watched from the telescope that the new character in the movie, the female man Julia, escaped from the prison with agility, and then met up with the companions of the Black Bat Organization. Looking at her climbing figure, Duran had to admit that this girl was very powerful.
Yong Haonan was somewhat puzzled as to why he had to stay in such a primitive world. Seeing the weapons and equipment of the patrol soldiers, they were not as good as those in World War II. He felt that there was no need to stay in such a low-tech world for too long. However, he did not know that after Duran saw the terrain here, he determined that this world was the world of alchemists. Although the technology was not the most advanced, the prosthetic technology it possessed was definitely much more advanced than that of Earth.
"Follow me, don't worry." Duran said, "Every world will have its own characteristics. If you want to get good things, the first thing you need to do is to understand this world in depth. It is not enough to just look at the surface like you do."
"That girl is in danger, don't we need to do it?" Eva is now equipped with the magic stone of the Final Fantasy world, and has not been used in actual combat. After training in the real world, she is now eager to try.
"No, don't you see someone went to rescue him?" Duran pointed, and sure enough, a man in strange heavy armor ran over, and lightning and ice and snow attacked him at the same time.
Is it magic? Yong Haonan and Eva thought at the same time, but in fact this is alchemy, which is different from magic.
The two also thought that wearing such heavy armor and being able to walk fast, this world is indeed not as simple as it seems. They also didn't know that this armor is actually just armor, empty inside, without any people.
Edward's younger brother Alphonse was taken away by the human body, and his soul was fixed on the armor by his brother, becoming a character who doesn't need to eat or sleep, with unlimited physical strength and is more powerful than a robot.
"The show begins." Seeing Alphonse, Julia and the mysterious man go down to the bottom of the valley together, Edward followed, and Duran finally took action.
"Who is the child in the red windbreaker?" Seeing that there were children in the fierce battle before, Eva couldn't help asking.
"That's the state alchemist, a civil servant." Duran didn't explain too much.
"Alchemist?" This also exists on Earth. In ancient times, there were some immature scientists, or guys who pretended to be gods and ghosts, but the alchemists in this world must be different from those on Earth. "Is it very powerful?"
"Very powerful." Just looking at Edward's ability to fight at the age of 15, you can know how powerful the alchemist is.
Three forces gathered in this place, scheming against each other around Milos, the Wall of Sighs. One side is Milos's old citizens, the valley dwellers driven down by Creta's invaders, and now they are also considered the lower class people ruled by Creta. One side is Creta, who coveted the power of the immortal stone in the old Milos legend, but now has been driven out of Milos and built an outpost city on the cliff opposite the canyon, echoing Milos City. The third party is Milos's current ruler, the powerful country of Amestris, which is also the country where the protagonist Edward brothers develop the main plot.
But these have nothing to do with Duran. The technology they need is the same as who they get it from.
"Haonan, you go follow those people to the bottom of the valley to see what good things they can find, and Eva and I will search this city." Duran assigned the work.
"Okay." As long as he gets down to business, Yong Haonan doesn't mind the quality of the work.
"I want to go to the bottom of the valley, too." It was Eva, a civilian, who made a request without organization and discipline. In fact, she was afraid that Duran would do something abnormal again, which she couldn't handle. That was the shadow left by the last world.
Duran saw through Eva's heart and thought to himself that he was so upright, why didn't anyone believe in his character, "Okay, be careful."
The two left without looking back, leaving Duran standing here alone, thinking in his heart that he would do interesting things by himself in the future and never take you with him again.
Duran was still hit hard, and made up his mind not to be caught again when he played a (pervert) guest role next time. It was also a speechless determination.
Fortunately, Duran soon immersed himself in the world of alchemy and forgot the unhappiness. In the main god world, he only learned some alchemy superficially. Although he often used alchemy to make many complicated things afterwards, there were still many alchemy techniques that Duran had not seen, mainly the alchemy array. This technology is not magic but science. Although Duran does not need it, he can teach others after learning it.
Maybe now that he is alone, he can go to Cixin Country to learn alchemy. Just do it, create a clone and go to different parts of the world to study, it will be faster this way.
And Yong Haonan Eva, who went down to the bottom of the valley, also began to understand the magic of this world, alchemy, equivalent exchange, alchemists, and the magical Philosopher's Stone, as well as the old Milos and Creta in past history. entanglements, as well as the opportunities and grudges between Julia and Black Bat.
Julia's parents were disgusted and driven away by the people of old Milos because of their study of alchemy. They took refuge in Creta, but were killed by Creta's soldiers. Julia and her brother had to return to the valley to join the army. The resistance organization 'Black Bats' are working hard to rebuild their own Milos.
The Julia siblings rely on her parents' research on the legend of old Milos - the Sacred Stone. It is also the Philosopher's Stone, a stone that allows alchemists to break through the rules of equivalent exchange and gain infinite power.
Yong Haonan and Eva got close to Edward intentionally or unintentionally, and learned many things. They also learned that Edward's arms and feet were destroyed by the so-called 'forbidden refinement', and that his brother lost his entire body. Anyway, I have heard a lot, but most of them don’t understand what the ‘Gate of Truth’ and ‘Earth Energy’ are. In short, although I don’t understand it, it feels very powerful.
As the protagonist, Edward finally understood the purpose of the Black Bat organization, refined the Philosopher's Stone, defeated Creta, and rebuilt the country of Milos. However, Edward opposed this action because war cost lives, and the country he sacrificed his life for was not worth it in his opinion. But the oppressed old Milos people didn't think so. Instead of living a precarious life of being inferior to others, it was better to risk their lives. In the end, the two Edward brothers saw that they could not stop them, so they decided to leave the bottom of the valley and go to the city of Milos to find clues to the Philosopher's Stone.
Yong Haonan was very sympathetic to these old Milos people and was ready to help them. In his words, this was the great struggle of the proletariat to overthrow the exploiting class. Of course he would help if he met them. He wished he had not been born in his grandfather's era, who fought against Japan, liberation, resisted U.S. aggression and aided Korea, and fought for the proletariat. Now he can finally realize his dream. The proletariat of the other world is also a proletariat and a fellow countryman.
Seeing that Yong Haonan's true nature as a war madman was finally revealed, Eva immediately wanted to go back with the Edward brothers.
The ice magic was activated, and Eva immediately caught up with Brother Edward from the bottom of the valley. There is no formation or circle, but Eva can use more power than the two brothers.
"Philosopher's Stone?" Edward asked doubtfully.
"Brother, there is really no understanding. The process of decomposition and reorganization is really the Philosopher's Stone!" Alphonse also thinks so.
Eva returned to the cliff and saw two children looking directly at her, "What's wrong?"
"Aunt Eva, do you have the Philosopher's Stone?" Edward asked.
Eva doesn't mind being called aunt by her children, "Philosopher's Stone?" It sounds familiar, but she has heard too many terms that she doesn't understand before, so she has forgotten the Philosopher's Stone, "What is the Philosopher's Stone?" "
Edward explained it again with hands and feet, and Eva understood about seven or eight points and said, "I don't have that kind of thing, and I am not an alchemist, but a magician."
"Um, magic?" Edward believed in the science of alchemy and never believed in magic. He felt that Eva was lying to him.
"Is it really magic?" Seeing that Edward, a cute kid, didn't believe it, Eva took out the magic stone from her wrist, "Now, this is the magic crystal, also called the magic stone. I use this to activate magic. But aunt, I am now Only these two, as well as acceleration, summoning, and even the resurrection magic stone, I can't use it yet."
"Resurrection?" Isn't this the power of the Philosopher's Stone? But wait, Edward suddenly thought of something, "Aunt Eva, are you saying that each magic stone can only correspond to one kind of power?"
"Of course, these two are, one is ice and the other is fire. The ice magic stone cannot set fire, and the fire magic stone cannot turn into ice." Eva explained, finally regaining the dignity of being an elder.
It really doesn't sound like the Philosopher's Stone, because the Philosopher's Stone is also called the Universal Stone. Just one stone can do anything.
After the conversation, they learned that Eva had a friend named Duran, who knew more about the magic stone. Edward and Alphonse decided to meet Duran first before searching for the secrets of Milos City, and the group went The hotel came to see Duran.
