Chapter Twelve Warm Stones
What does the Philosopher's Stone look like? No one seemed to know before. People could only glimpse sporadic half-claws of this legendary item from books handed down from ancient times. Some said it was a stone from the sky, while others said it was a mysterious third stone.
The five elements are said by some to be the great red alchemical elixir, and others are said to be substances of matter.
So to put it another way, what does this so-called Philosopher's Stone look like?
No one knows, but one thing has become a consensus among everyone. That is that the so-called Philosopher's Stone can violate the most inviolable principle of alchemy to a certain extent.
Equivalent exchange!
Anyone who possesses this stone seems to be able to open the most mysterious door of alchemy. He seems to be standing at both ends of the scale, adding what he wants with one hand, and pressing down directly with the other hand.
, without giving anything in exchange.
This is the power of the Philosopher's Stone.
Some people say that the Philosopher's Stone can resurrect the dead, and some say that the Philosopher's Stone is an incomparably powerful amplifier of alchemy. But for the two Edward brothers, this big red alchemical elixir, this red sage
The stone is so simple to them.
This philosopher's stone is a hand! It's a foot! It's a body! It's an atonement for everything that happened in the past! It's the most important point of your journey!
yes……
"It's something you can't get your hands on."
Liu Mengchao was still standing behind the bishop, squinting at Brother Edward in the distance. Although Liu Mengchao had never seen the so-called Fullmetal Alchemist before, he was at least certain of one thing... that is, as the protagonist of the story,
The two Edward brothers did look like this in his memory.
What does this mean?
When Liu Mengchao thought of this, the corner of his mouth curled up.
It shows that they will not obtain the Philosopher's Stone and heal their bodies until at least the final outcome. And now this sect does not look like the final outcome, no matter how stupid it is, it makes people almost despair.
From the looks of it, the bishop, or the innocent girl behind him who is like a sidekick, they all look like an appetizer before a big meal, and they will definitely not be the most important staple food.
Where did the Philosopher's Stone that appeared in the hands of the bishop go? Was it snatched away by others? Or did Brother Edward finally let the bishop go because he was afraid of rats?
Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao turned around, his eyes quickly passing over the girl named Rosa, and then quietly resting on brother Edward in front of him.
"You want this stone too, right?"
Liu Mengchao could be considered as asking questions knowingly. It couldn't be more obvious that he asked questions knowingly, directly in front of the Edward brothers. He asked them what they wanted so much that they even tossed and turned at night.
"What do you want?"
Edward raised his head. Although he was short, he was never a person who gave in easily. Not only was he not easy to give in, he was even as strong as steel.
The principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange, which can be said to be completely engraved in Edward's brain. What he has sacrificed for this principle can be said to be unforgettable in his life. The prosthetic limb made of steel is a constant reminder.
Everything he went through.
"I think it shouldn't be difficult." Liu Mengchao grinned slightly and said with a smile, "I heard that the National Alchemist can enjoy privileges that ordinary people cannot enjoy, so I also want to be a National Alchemist."
State Alchemist?
Edward was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that there would be an alchemist who wanted to become a national alchemist. After all, this is a profession that will definitely go to the battlefield as long as the president gives the order. Not only that, but also being ridiculed as
The military dog, the so-called running dog.
That someone would want this... is really unexpected.
"make a deal!"
Although unexpected, Edward agreed to Liu Mengchao's request.
"Although I have not reviewed the qualifications of a national alchemist, I will recommend you."
"Deal," Liu Mengchao nodded, smiling at the leader in front of him, "I'm really sorry for treating your treasure as a trade item, but... please give the Philosopher's Stone to Fullmetal Alchemist.
.”
Liu Mengchao said it very kindly, but it concealed the meaning that no resistance was allowed. After all, no matter who has a slender hidden sword on his neck, he would not think of directly resisting. No matter who he is, he should not easily resist.
Treat your life as a joke.
So the bishop nodded tremblingly and said in an almost trembling voice, "The one I wear on my left middle finger is the Philosopher's Stone. I will take it off and give it to him now."
The words fell. Before Liu Mengchao could answer, the bishop's right hand had already been gently placed on the middle finger of his left hand, resting on the red Philosopher's Stone that shone with warmth.
"careful!"
Seeing the bishop's actions, Edward suddenly shouted loudly. He was more familiar with the alchemy process than many people. Not only that, Edward had also seen the bishop use alchemy with his own eyes. Although the old man looked like a third-rate person,
But because of the increase in the Philosopher's Stone, he can even refine items directly without using a refinement array!
But now, this old man's move is clearly to refine items!
"Go to hell!"
The second after Edward's voice sounded, the bishop's voice also burst out. He had already calculated clearly the location of Liu Mengchao and calculated the time it took him to use the Philosopher's Stone to refine it. With the help of this miraculous stone in his hand,
The Philosopher's Stone can definitely kill this man before Liu Mengchao reacts behind him, completely!
"coax!"
There was a loud noise, and Edward stared at the scene that appeared in front of him in surprise. This was not the first time he had seen alchemy, nor had he ever seen the bishop's alchemy before. But such a rapid and ferocious alchemy was still a surprise.
Edward's surprise.
It's too late...
Edward witnessed with his own eyes the bishop's body instantly turned into a huge gun, and the carbonized black armor spread directly along the bishop's skin.
hateful!
Edward frowned subconsciously. He had a bad feeling that he might not get the Philosopher's Stone.
"You can't move now!"
The bishop slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Mengchao with a ferocious expression. Everything was so fast. He believed that Liu Mengchao would never react so fast. The best evidence was Liu Mengchao's sleeves.
The sword was stuck in his throat, stuck tightly.
"Yes."
Liu Mengchao's gaze remained unchanged and he nodded slowly.
"ah!"
At this moment, the girl who seemed to have been forgotten by everyone suddenly screamed. Just because she saw a bright red flower blooming in front of his eyes.
"My hands are too fast and I always have trouble reacting when I kill people."
Liu Mengchao looked at the bishop's throat expressionlessly and said coldly.
The bishop suddenly opened his eyes, subconsciously trying to see the situation above his neck. Unfortunately, his sight did not allow him to get what he wanted.
But he still saw that scene after all.
Blood bursts out!
