Chapter 38: The Success Or Failure Of The Human Body
Although the Elric brothers’ bodies are separated from their bodies, they are still somewhere in this world, absorbing their nutrients and growing… This is the one that Yidao people came up with after observing Edward Elric’s body. guess.
At the same time, he was still thinking about whether Alphonse Elric, whose body had completely disappeared and could not obtain the nutritional energy for growth through eating, also added his energy consumption to his brother, fixing his soul on the armor for him. On Edward Elric!
Because of the information obtained from the observation of the dragon veins, Edward Elric’s consumption of his own energy is too strange. The consumption of ordinary people, even those of Yi Dao people who started to exercise with the movements he has researched, is only Edward Elric’s consumption. · Elric’s current consumption is this level.
And it was still during training. In normal times, the consumption of dragon veins is lower than that of ordinary people, let alone compared to Edward Elric at the moment!
So this obviously unusual, let Yi Daoren come to a conjecture that others would definitely consider to be whimsical.
But the Elric brothers wouldn’t find it whimsical, especially Edward Elric.
“Captain Yi, do you think my hands, feet, and my brother’s body are still in this world?”
“This is just a guess I made by observing your body’s nutrient consumption. I can’t make a sure guess.” Retracting his hand from Edward Elric’s chest, Yi Daoren took a sip of coffee, letting the fragrant and bitter After the coffee filled his mouth and stimulated his taste buds to obtain a refreshing effect, he continued: “You lost your right hand and left foot and your brother lost his body when the human body was refined, right? Can you tell me about the situation at that time?”
“At that time…”
Edward Elric clenched his hands tightly, and Alphonse Elric on one side also seemed to be hesitant to speak.
“If you don’t want to say it, then forget it…”
Remembering that the two little guys in front of him are only in their early 10s now, the situation in those days may have put a lot of psychological burden on them, Yi Daoren was about to forget it, and he would save himself the trouble, but Edward Elric suddenly had a serious look on his face. Looking at him, told him to swallow the next words.
He knew that Edward Elric had made a decision, and he had already faced the taboo violation that cost him his limbs and his younger brother’s entire body!
“Captain Yi also has some understanding of human body training, right?”
Nodding his head, Yi Daoren said lightly: “Well, I know all the materials and formations made by the human body, but that’s wrong.”
“That’s right! The human body is made of the wrong material! Because the most important part of the human body has been neglected…” Edward Elric’s left hand knuckle and right hand mechanical armor creaked in his clenched hands. The voice: “Soul! The soul that guides all the movements of the human body! We only consider the material that the human body is made of, but completely ignore the existence of the soul!”
“Soul…” Frowning and thinking for a while, Yi Daoren suddenly glanced at Alphonse Elric on the side, and then said, “Go ahead.”
“When we became a mother, Al and I seemed to have entered a strange place. There was only me and two doors, and a blank humanoid who claimed to be me and everything, one behind me and one behind him. Behind me. But before I could say a few words to the guy, a strong pull came from the door behind me, and countless little black hands stretched out and dragged me inside the door. Inside the door, I got a lot of Knowledge is very fascinating, if I didn’t want to revive my mother, I might have been lost.” Speaking of which, Edward Elric glanced at his brother, and said: “Al doesn’t seem to have this aspect. Knowledge. Because that knowledge is acquired at the expense of myself, I only paid for one foot, so I remember it, and Al paid the price for his whole body, but he got too much and forgot.”
“Selective forgetting because of self-protection? I understand.” Because of the experience of the Third Research Institute and the Synthetic Beast Group, Yi Daoren, who has a relatively deep understanding of biological instincts, nodded, then lowered his head and thought, frowning: “Perhaps, your human body has been successfully refined.”
“What? How is it possible?”
“Captain Yi, are you serious?
The Elric brothers asked together.
The paper and pen that Yi Daoren pulled and put aside at will, so that he could record his thoughts, quickly wrote some words and formulas, and put them in the middle of the table for the convenience of the Elric brothers: “You shouldn’t have any. There is a lack of material for the soul, but you gave up that material at the last minute… Alphonse, he should be the material for the soul. Everything about him, including the soul, disappeared, isn’t it just the material? It was just pulled back by you in the end. ”
“Equivalent exchange…”
“Yes, this is the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy. Exchange the soul of Alphonse for the soul of the ‘mother’ you have made.” Leaning on the sofa, Yi Daoren sipped the coffee, opened his mouth and smiled. Said: “I will give you what you want, as long as you pay the equivalent. This is much better than some humans.”
Ignoring the meaning of the second half of the Daoist changer’s sentence, Edward Alphonse gritted his teeth when he looked at the formulas and notes written by the Daoist changer on the table.
“Brother, Captain Yi’s reasoning seems to be correct…” Suddenly Alphonse Elric scratched the head of what was just a helmet and said, “Before you fixed my soul on this armor, I also seemed to be I came back to this world and saw you who lost a leg… That kind of perspective is like the mother we made!”
Just as Alphonse Elric finished speaking, Yi Daoren twitched the corners of his mouth: “You don’t think that what you made is your mother, right?”
“Not our mother? Didn’t you say that the human body was successfully cultivated?”
Yi Daoren shrugged and said: “Yes, I admit, your human body should be successfully refined. After all, all the materials are complete. But the materials are complete, it does not mean that the one who has been refined is your mother, maybe it is just a Alphonse Elric with a new body.”
Yi Daoren’s words made Brother Elric freeze, as if they were completely frozen by the polar cold wind.
After a while, Edward Elric opened the corners of his mouth and smiled reluctantly: “Captain Yi, you mean that the human body we have done is to create a new body for Al, and then make him a new body. The soul is stuffed in?”
Yi Daoren nodded and said lightly: “The situation you told me, and my understanding of human body refinement, my judgment is indeed the same.”
“Bang!” Edward Elric’s right hand hammered the mechanical arm on the table hard: “That means we ended up with our own hands, feet and body because of the game of ‘changing houses’?! Damn!”
“If you dare to hammer my desk again, I’ll throw you out immediately!” After a cold look at Edward Elric, Yi Daoren said lightly: “What you should do now is not to regret, but to find a way to get it back. Your hands and feet and your brother’s body. Not at my desk.”
Originally wanted to slam the table again to vent, Edward Elric instantly stopped his raised hand and looked at Yi Daoren with anticipation: “Captain Yi, do you have a solution?”
“Don’t treat me like a god, I’m just an ordinary person! What can I do if I only understand your situation now?” Glancing at Edward Elric, the Yi Daoist thought for a moment and said: ” Your previous thought was to repair your body by means of biological training, right?”
“Yes! Captain Yi, I heard that you are working in the Third Research Institute of Central City, which is famous for its body refining. Is there a way to repair my brother and my body?” Alphonse Elric nodded vigorously, representing his head. The helmet creaked like it was about to fall off.
“Please, Captain Yi!” Edward Elric folded his hands and bowed reverently to Yi Daoren.
With a long sigh, Yi Daoren said lightly: “Don’t beg me like that, I will help you if I can help you. After all, it is very valuable to study your situation, but you don’t need to expect too much from me…”
As he was talking, Yi Daoren suddenly paused, frowned slightly and glanced at the direction of Lasit’s house outside the window, and then continued: “Okay, it’s too late now, you go to rest first.”
“Let us help you…”
“Go to bed, didn’t I just say that you seem to be burdened with the consumption of your brothers?” Edward Elric, who looked at him coldly, pointed to the stairs and said, “The innermost part of the second floor In that room, tidying up the bookshelves is enough for the two of you to sleep.”
Edward Elric wanted to refuse, but when he remembered what Yi Daoren said that he might be responsible for the nutritional consumption of both him and his brother, combined with the fact that after he was trained in the human body, he really couldn’t eat enough or sleep enough, knowing that he might say Maybe it’s a fact, so he bowed his head and agreed: “Yes… I know.”
After agreeing, Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric followed the direction of the changer and came to the innermost room on the second floor.
Pushing the door open, a peculiar smell of books rushed to his face. Looking at the rows of bookshelves in the room and the books on them, Edward Elric felt as if he had come to a certain library.
The only difference from the library is that it is much smaller, and there is a small bed about one meter wide in the corner.
“Is this a place for guests to live…”
Edward Elric had the urge to go back to the theory of the changers, but remembering the attitude of the changers and the help they were about to give, Edward Elric, who was only twelve years old, sighed and came to sit by the cot. Down.
Alphonse Elric also came to the cot, but instead of sitting on the cot, he sat directly on the ground.
After looking around the room, which was densely packed, but neatly arranged, with completely different books scattered everywhere in the living room downstairs, Alphonse Elric suddenly said: “It’s no wonder that Captain Yi can guess us when he comes into contact with us. His physical condition and what he has refined, this seems to be his bedroom!”
“Bedroom?” Edward Elric was stunned for a moment. After looking around, he was silent for a moment, and then said, “Indeed, this is his bedroom.”
The mirror, the alarm clock, and the small wardrobe in the corner, plus the bed he was sitting on, obviously, these things already constitute the content of the bedroom.
It’s just that this bedroom doesn’t look like a bedroom for people to rest and relax at all, instead it’s depressing and scary!
Those are books that carry knowledge and civilization, the oppression brought by the light of human wisdom!
“However, only someone like him can help us find a way to recover, right?” Edward Elric didn’t feel depressed at all, let alone fear, just endless excitement!
Alphonse Elric laughed twice: “Yeah! I heard that Captain Yi was just a half-baked alchemist before, but I didn’t expect the real person to be so knowledgeable. It’s just… Does he know anything about the human body? A little too much? Does he also want to do human body training?”
Unaware that the two children upstairs were chatting about themselves, Yi Daoren looked in the direction of the door, frowned, and finally let out a long sigh.
In his sense of dragon veins, Drawing is at his door at the moment, and the doorbell will ring in the next moment.
“Ding Dong! Daoist, are you there?”
Sure enough, living up to the ‘expectations’ of Yi Daoist, the doorbell rang, and at the same time, the tempting voice of Lasseter rang.
“The lights are on, maybe he’s not there?” With a pouting, Yi Daoren came to the door, opened the door, and smiled at Lasseter, who was standing in front of the door with a charming smile, full of femininity: “Lastite, I haven’t seen you for a few days.”
“Isn’t this because you are too busy, Daoist, you leave early and return late every day?” The smile on his face became more obvious, and Ruster said, “Will you not let me in and sit?”
“If you don’t dislike my room being chaotic. UU reading www.uukanshu.com” Step aside and let Rast in, Yi Daoren closed the door and accompanied Rast to the living room.
“Do you have any guests?” When she came to the living room, Raste saw the two cups on the table, and her eyes flashed.
“The two little devils have something to do with my old friends, so let them stay for one night.” Yi Daoren cleaned up the things on the table, and then went to the kitchen and poured a cup of hot water for Lasit.
“Only for one night?”
“They are people who are going to participate in the national alchemist assessment, so they can’t stay with me all the time.” Yi Daoren shrugged, and very casually stated the purpose of Brother Elric coming to Central City.
“The national alchemist’s assessment, that’s really amazing…”
“Well, Captain Yi, I can take a shower… Ah, sorry for disturbing you.”
Before Raster could finish speaking, Edward Elric’s voice suddenly sounded, and then he leaned out from the stairs on the second floor.
But after seeing Brushette sitting in the living room, she immediately wanted to go back.
“The bathroom is on the first floor, just come down and wash, don’t stain my bed!” After glaring at Edward Elric, Yi Daoren pointed to Edward Elric and smiled at Ruster: “It’s this kid. To participate in the assessment of the national alchemist.”
“Do you want to participate in the national alchemist examination at such a young age? What a talent!” Looking at Edward Elric walking downstairs with an embarrassed smile, Rust’s eyes flashed for a moment, full of amazement.
Sure enough, these guys have a special purpose for the alchemist who has been refined from the human body.
The Yi Daoist who had been paying attention to Draw after introducing Edward Elric to Draw was very keen to see the strangeness in Draw’s eyes.
