Chapter 38 The success or failure of the human body
Although the bodies of the Ellik brothers were separated from their bodies, they were still absorbing their nutrients and growing somewhere in this world... This is a conjecture that Taoist Yi came up after observing Edward Ellik's body.
At the same time, he was also wondering whether Alphonse Ellik, who had completely disappeared and could not obtain the nutrient energy that he had grown through eating, also added his energy consumption to his brother, and fixed his soul on Edward Ellik on the armor for him!
Because of the information obtained through observation of the dragon vein, Edward Ellik's consumption of his own energy is too strange. The consumption of ordinary people, even the consumption of Yi Dao Ren who started to exercise his body with the movements he developed, is just the consumption of Edward Ellik's current consumption.
And that was during exercise. Usually, he, who knows how to guide the dragon veins, consumes less than ordinary people, not to mention that he is compared with Edward Ellik at this moment!
So this is obviously unusual, which makes Yi Daoren come up with a conjecture that others would definitely think was a whimsical one.
But the Ellik brothers would not think that this was whimsical, especially Edward Ellik.
"Captain Yi, do you think my hands and feet, and my brother's body are still in this world?"
"This is just a guess I have obtained from observing the nutritional consumption of your body. I can't even believe it." With his hand back from Edward Ellik's chest, Yi Daoren picked up the coffee and took a sip, allowing the fragrant and bitter coffee to fill his mouth, stimulating his taste buds and thus gaining a refreshing effect, he continued: "You lost your right hand and left foot and your brother lost your body when the human body was refined? Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"
"At that time..."
Edward Ellik clenched his hands, and Alphonse Ellik on one side also looked like he was reluctant to speak.
"If you don't want to say it, then forget it..."
Thinking of the two little guys in front of him who are only in their early teens, the situation in those days may have a considerable psychological burden on them. Just when Dao Ren Yi was about to forget it and save himself trouble, Edward Ellik suddenly looked at him seriously and asked him to swallow the next words.
He knew that Edward Ellik had made a good decision and had faced the offense of taboos that made him lose his hands and feet and his brother lose his entire body!
"Captain Yi also has some understanding of human body refining, right?"
Nodded, Dao Ren Yi said lightly: "Well, I know the materials and formations of human bodies, but that's wrong."
"That's right! The materials refined by the human body are wrong! Because the most important part of the human body is ignored..." Edward Ellick's left hand joints and right hand mechanical armor made a creaking sound in his clenched hands: "Soul! The soul that guides all movements of the human body! We only consider the materials composed of the human body, but completely ignore the existence of the soul!"
"Soul..." Frowning and thinking for a moment, Dao Ren Yi suddenly glanced at Alphonse Ellik who had aside, and then said: "Continue."
"When I became my mother, Al and I seemed to have entered a strange place. There were only me and two doors, and a blank human figure who claimed to be me and everything. One door was behind me and the other was behind him. However, before I could say a few words to that guy, the door behind me came with a strong traction, and countless black hands stretched out to drag me into the door. In the door, I gained a lot of knowledge, which was very fascinating. If I hadn't wanted to resurrect my mother, I might have been lost long ago." Speaking of this, Edward Ellik glanced at his younger brother and said, "Al seemed to have no knowledge in this area. Because those knowledge was obtained at its own price, I just paid one foot, so I still remember that Al's whole body was at the price, but it was forgotten because he had obtained too much."
"Did you selectively forget because of self-protection? I understand." Because of the experience of the Third Research Institute and the Synthetic Beast Group, Yi Daoren, who had a deep understanding of biological instincts, nodded, then lowered his head and thought for a while, frowned and said, "Maybe, your human body has been successfully refined."
"What? How is it possible?"
"Captain Yi, are you serious?
The Ellik brothers asked together.
He pulled the paper and pen to record his thoughts easily. Yi Dao Ren quickly wrote some words and formulas and placed them in the middle of the table for the convenience of watching by himself: "You should not lack the material for the soul, but you gave up that material at the last moment... Alphons, he should be the material for the soul. Everything about him, including his soul, disappeared. Wasn't it just as a material? He was just pulled back by you in the end."
“Equivalent exchange…”
"Yes, this is the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy. Use Alphons' soul to exchange the soul of the 'mother' you made." Rearing on the sofa, Yi Dao Ren pulled open the corner of his mouth while savoring the coffee, he smiled: "Give you whatever you want, as long as you pay for equivalent things. This is much better than some humans."
Ignoring what the second half of Yi Dao Ren said meant. Looking at the formulas and notes written by Yi Dao Ren on the table, Edward Alphons gritted his teeth.
"Brother, Captain Yi's reasoning seems to be correct..." Suddenly, Alphonse Ellik scratched his head, which was just a helmet, and said: "Before you fixed my soul on this armor, I seemed to have returned to this world and saw you who had lost one leg... That perspective is like our refined mother!"
As soon as Alphonse Ellik finished speaking, Dao Ren Yi pulled the corner of his mouth: "You don't think that the things you refined are your mothers, do you?"
"Isn't it our mother? Didn't you say that the human body has been successfully refined?"
Yi Daoren shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, I admit that your human body should be successful. After all, all the materials are complete. But having complete materials does not mean that the one who refined is your mother, perhaps just Alphonse Ellik with a new body."
Yi Daoren's words made the Ellik brothers froze all over, as if they were completely frozen by the cold wind in the polar regions.
After a while, Edward Ellik pulled open the corner of his mouth and smiled reluctantly: "Captain Yi, what you mean is that the human body we have made is to refine Al to a new body, and then stuff his soul into it?"
Taoist Yi nodded and said lightly: "What you told me and my understanding of the human body, I am indeed the case."
"Bang!" Edward Ellik's robotic arm was hit on the table with his right hand: "That is to say, we ended up with our hands, feet and bodies because of the 'change house' game?! Damn!"
"If you dare to hammer my table again, I will throw you out immediately!" He glared at Edward Ellik coldly, and Taoist Yi said lightly: "What you should do now is not regret, but find a way to find your hands and feet and your brother's body. It is not to vent at my table."
I originally wanted to hammer the table again to vent Edward Ellik instantly stopped his raised hand and looked at Dao Ren Yi with anticipation: "Captain Yi, do you have a way?"
"Don't both of you regard me as a god. I'm just an ordinary person! What will I do if I understand your situation now?" After glaring at Edward Ellik, Yi Dao Ren thought for a while and said, "Your previous thought was to repair your body through means such as refining the body?"
"Yes! Captain Yi, I heard that you are working at the Third Institute of Central City, which is famous for your biological body refining. Is there a way to repair my brother and my body?" Alphons Ellik nodded vigorously, and the helmet on his head creaked and wanted to fall off.
"Please, Captain Yi!" Edward Ellik folded his hands together and bowed devoutly to Taoist Yi.
With a long sigh, Dao Ren Yi said lightly: "Don't beg me like this. If I can help you, I will help you. After all, your situation is very valuable for research. But you don't need to look forward to me..."
As he was talking, Dao Ren Yi suddenly paused, frowned and glanced at the direction of the Ruster House outside the window, and then continued: "Okay, it's too late now, you go and rest first."
"Let's help you..."
"Get out and go to bed. Didn't I just say that you seem to be burdened with the consumption of your brothers?" Edward Ellik, who looked expectant, pointed to the stairs and said, "It's enough for you two to sleep in the innermost room on the second floor to tidy up the bookshelf."
Edward Ellik wanted to refuse, but when he thought of what Dao Ren Yi said that he might be burdened with the nutritional consumption of him and his brother. Combined with the fact that he could not eat enough and sleep enough after the human body was refined, he knew that it might be a fact, so he agreed dejectedly: "Yes... I understand."
After agreeing, Edward Ellik and Alphons Ellik followed Yi Dao Ren and came to the innermost room on the second floor.
When I opened the door, a unique smell of books came to my face. Looking at the rows of bookshelfs and books on the bookshelf in the room, Edward Ellik felt like he had come to a library himself.
But unlike the library, it is much smaller here and there is a small bed about one meter wide in the corner.
“Is this a place for guests to live…”
Edward Ellik had the urge to turn back and find Yi Dao Ren to argue, but when he remembered Yi Dao Ren's attitude and the soon-to-be help, Edward Ellik, who was still twelve years old, sighed and came to sit by the bed.
Alphonse Ellik also came to the small bed, but he did not sit on the small bed, but sat directly on the ground.
After looking around the room, the densely packed, but neatly arranged, completely different books from the living room downstairs, Alphons Ellik suddenly said: "No wonder Captain Yi can guess our physical condition and what we have refined after contacting. This seems to be his bedroom!"
"Bedroom?" Edward Ellik was stunned for a moment, looked around, and then remained silent for a moment, then said, "Indeed, this is his bedroom."
The mirror, the alarm clock, the small wardrobe in the corner, and the bed where he was sitting, it was obvious that these things had formed the contents of the bedroom.
But this bedroom is not like a bedroom that makes people relax and relax, but it is so depressing that it makes people scary!
That is the depression brought by the light of human wisdom that carries knowledge and civilization!
"However, only people like him can help us find a way to recover, right?" Edward Ellik didn't feel depressed at all, nor was he afraid, only endless excitement!
Alphons Ellik laughed twice: "Yes! I heard people say that Captain Yi is just a half-baked alchemist, but I didn't expect that the real person is so knowledgeable. But... does he know too much about human body refining? Does he also want to do human body refining?"
Yi Daoren, who had no idea that the two children upstairs were talking about themselves or something, looked at the direction of the door, frowned, and finally sighed a long time.
In his sense of the dragon vein, Raster was at his door at this moment, and the doorbell would probably ring the next moment.
"Ding Dong! Taoist, are you here?"
Sure enough, living up to the "expectation" of Taoist Yi, the doorbell rang, and at the same time, the tempting voice of Ruster sounded.
"Where the lights are on, may they be away?" He curled his lips, and Taoist Yi came to the door, opened the door, and smiled at Ruste, who was standing in front of the door and smiling with feminine charm, and said, "Ruste, it will be gone for a few days."
"Isn't this because you are too busy, you go out early and come back late every day?" The smile on your face became more obvious. Ruste said, "Don't you let me go in and sit?"
"If you don't dislike my room being messy." After getting out of my way and letting Rouster come in, Domine Yi closed the door and accompanied Rouster to the living room.
"Do you have guests?" When I came to the living room, Russer saw two cups on the table, and his eyes flashed.
"The two little kids have something to do with my old friend, so I let them stay for one night." Taoist Yi cleaned up the things on the table, then went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot water for Raster.
"Only one night?"
"They are people who want to participate in the national alchemist assessment. You can't stay with me all the time." Yi Daoren shrugged and casually told the purpose of the Ellik brothers coming to Central City.
"The assessment of the national alchemist is amazing..."
"Well, Captain Yi, I can take a shower...ah, sorry, I disturb you."
Before Ruste could finish his words, Edward Ellik's voice suddenly rang out, and then he poked out from the stairs on the second floor.
But after seeing Ruster sitting in the living room, he immediately wanted to retreat.
"The bathroom is on the first floor, just come down and wash it, don't dirty my bed!" After glaring at Edward Ellik, Yi Dao Ren pointed at Edward Ellik and smiled at Ruster: "It's this little devil who wants to participate in the national alchemist assessment."
"Are you going to participate in the National Alchemist Assessment at such a young age? It's really a talent!" Looking at Edward Ellik, who walked downstairs with a embarrassed smile, Ruster's eyes flashed and his face was full of amazement.
Sure enough, these guys have special purposes for the alchemists who have been refined by human bodies.
