Thus ended the events of the night, and the Frozen Alchemist's plot to destroy the Central Command collapsed.
The first episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" came to an end, and the ending theme song began playing on TV.
…
"it's over?"
"That's it?"
“What’s this episode about?”
"Uh... I totally forgot..."
"The pace is too fast, it feels like the whole story hasn't even started yet!"
"Director Du Lin himself plays the lead role, but the script is just this bad?!"
"… "
All of a sudden, all the viewers in front of the televisions across the country uttered all kinds of confused words.
After all, the feeling the audience had after watching the first episode can be described as completely confused.
Since this first episode has absolutely no foreshadowing and the overall pace is very fast, most viewers just feel confused after watching it.
We don’t know who the protagonist is, who the enemy is, and we don’t even know what this battle is protecting.
Of course, apart from this instinctive confusion, some people can still see something.
In particular, the alchemist's combat system reflected in the entire film, in which the ability to use the alchemy array to refine specific substances and then change their form is very eye-catching.
Among these, the protagonist's ability to refine objects without relying on the refining array is particularly eye-catching.
Although the rhythm is chaotic and the beginning is incomprehensible, it still leaves the audience with deep expectations.
At the same time, in a tavern in the eastern part of the empire, the Dragon God Dona watched the ending scene on TV and couldn't help but speak to the Forest God Ezio beside her:
"How come people who make movies can come up with so many interesting stories? It's amazing. The movie Fate Zero, which I didn't finish watching, is also amazing. The movie Fullmetal Alchemist is also amazing."
Ezio frowned slightly at Donna's remarks. Compared to Donna, who simply thought the story was interesting, she saw something more essential in the movie, something related to the development of the human empire today.
"Movies and TV. I heard that a thing called the telephone is popular in the human empire recently. It allows ordinary people to communicate with each other thousands of miles away. In the future, a railway that can travel from the eastern border to the southern border of the empire in a few days will soon appear. The changes in humans are really amazing."
On the side, the Dragon God Dona's sigh made the Forest God's eyes gradually brighten.
She sorted out a thread from all these clues and got a surprising result.
"Humanity is extending the power of magic to ordinary people!"
After getting this answer, Ezio, the God of the Forest, suddenly realized the root causes behind the various changes in the human empire. Almost all of the reasons were related to the latest magical discipline, magical alchemy.
"Durin Edward, movies, magic alchemy, Fullmetal Alchemist... These things seem unrelated, but they can almost be said to be the prelude to the next era. I'm afraid it will be an unimaginable glorious era..."
Ezio muttered to himself, with an indescribable expectation flashing in his eyes.
If she hadn't known that she was a god and couldn't participate in humanity's struggle, she would have joined this wave long ago and witnessed the glory of the next era with her own eyes.
On the other side, the Dragon Goddess Dona didn't care about Ezio's exclamation, her eyes were still fixed on the TV in front of her.
Just as she saw the ending song of "Fullmetal Alchemist" on TV, the words that appeared on the TV made everyone who wanted to leave the tavern stop in their tracks.
"The second episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" is about to begin, please wait a moment! After the commercial, it will be even more exciting!"
After seeing this line of text, the crowd who originally wanted to leave immediately sat back in their original seats in panic and let out earth-shaking exclamations.
…
At the same time that audiences in front of televisions across the empire were cheering, magicians from the Imperial Magic Academy were also gathering in front of the lobby of the Alchemy Tower, watching the televisions in front of them and discussing excitedly.
"Oh oh oh! Senior Du Lin finally made a movie for our magician again this time, but the leading actor is actually Senior Du Lin himself. This is really unexpected."
"Yes, Senior Du Lin's performance is also quite good, but I am more concerned about the huge iron lump next to him. How does that thing move?"
"Puppetry? I remember that necromancy has a similar ability, which allows living people to manipulate dead objects."
"Is Senior Du Lin working so hard to use this ability in order to make a movie?"
"The concept of this film is so amazing. Senior Du Lin probably put a lot of important concepts about magic alchemy into it. How can we not give it a try?"
"Shit, I have to study hard. Otherwise, if I really fail the final exam of Magic Alchemy this semester, I will be completely screwed."
"Are you f*cking sick? Don't mention that damn name while watching a movie. I'm going to have a nightmare!"
"Relax, look at us, none of us looks like we can pass Magic Alchemy, hahahaha."
"Based on the way you look, I estimate that more people will stay in school to take make-up exams this year than ever before."
"Let's all die together, hahahahaha!!"
"… "
All of a sudden, when the many magicians on the scene started talking about reality from movies, it was destined that the topic would not go well.
Chapter 564: The King of the Undead: I want to see how exciting this TV is!
Chapter 564
At the same time that the movie shocked the entire empire, walking on the streets of the empire, the two Undead Kings from the Chaos Realm were also affected by the lively scene in the TV tavern.
"Old Skeleton, what do you think that is?"
In response to the short Undead King's words, the tall Undead King known as Old Skeleton slowly replied:
"Maybe it's the most popular entertainment in the Human Empire these days? I've been to the Human Empire before, and I know that these humans are very good at finding fun. They can even make something out of boring things."
"Entertainment? Hehe, these guys are still the same as always. Never mind. We are just here to check out the situation. Let's just go in and take a look."
"Whatever, go check it out, old nigger."
After the two Undead Kings finished their conversation, they slowly walked into the TV tavern.
At this time, the Imperial Capital TV Tavern was full of people. Because the nobles of the Imperial Capital had previously banned the import of movies, a large number of ordinary people who were already extremely curious about TV movies were unable to enjoy such interesting things, which caused great dissatisfaction.
This time, the TV tavern was finally brought into the imperial capital. Naturally, a large number of ordinary people rushed into the TV tavern in one breath, feeling extremely curious and satisfied about this novel magical creation.
When the two Undead Kings walked into the TV tavern, they naturally saw the strange thing that was placed in the middle of the tavern and was watched by a large number of ordinary people.
The old black man's eyes lit up when he saw it. If the tavern hadn't been surrounded by patrolling guards, he would have rushed over to study this strange magical creation.
"What is that?"
The old skeleton was also extremely shocked when he saw this thing. Although he did not have a deep study of magic, he could also feel a strange power from the sophisticated magic circles inside the TV.
On the side, the old black man stared at the TV intently. After a long while, he let out a sigh and said:
"Interesting, really interesting. This seemingly simple instrument actually has dozens of magic arrays engraved in it. Some of these magic arrays are even interconnected with magic arrays in a larger area. They are intertwined with each other, and the complexity is almost close to the sixth level. It is hard to imagine what kind of person would make such a thing."
Compared to the old black man's speech, the old skeleton was more concerned about the effect of the TV. He looked at the advertisement playing on TV and muttered thoughtfully:
"The picture above seems to be real. Is it recorded in some way? But how is this possible? What kind of transformation formula is used? Can magic achieve such a detailed transformation? How is the efficiency and final effect of the transformation determined?"
The two undead kings were staring at something as novel as a television for the first time, so they stood there in a daze for a long time.
The imperial guards standing by couldn't bear to watch any longer, so they quickly walked up to the two of them and shouted:
"If you want to watch TV, please find a seat. Otherwise, I'll have to ask both of you to leave."
After hearing the guard's words, if it were in the past, the two undead kings would have lost their temper on the spot and made these ordinary humans pay for their offense.
But now, both the old skeleton and the old black man no longer have any pursuits, and their respect for the law also makes them unwilling to take any risks.
So, in response to the guard's reminder, the two undead kings actually sat down obediently in the two empty seats and silently looked at the TV screen in the distance.
At this moment, the TV was broadcasting a video about the newly built railway that ran through the East and South borders. The train looked almost exactly the same as in Durin's mind. The only difference was that the trains in this world were powered by magic.
Faced with this magical thing, the two Undead Kings were amazed again, especially the old black man, who murmured in disbelief:
"What's going on? How come humans have created something like this? I've only been away for a hundred years, how is it possible that things have developed so fast? How did they come up with something like this?"
When the old skeleton saw this thing, he was naturally as amazed as the old black man. He looked back and forth at the train and the tracks for a long time, and finally spoke slowly:
"The train looks like a snake."
"What are you talking about?"
"I just told a joke."
"I… "
The old black man shrank back in fear at the old skeleton's joke and slowly said:
"Your joke is the coldest thing in the world. Maybe I should consider buying some cotton clothes."
After hearing what the old black man said, the old skeleton was shocked.
"Why are you, an undead, wearing cotton clothes?"
"Stop telling your embarrassing jokes!"
"… "
The two undead kings just sat in the warm TV bar, speaking nonsense like the ordinary people around them. No one knew that the two people here had almost overturned the entire world.
Similarly, the two Undead Kings themselves have completely given up their obsession with their previous lives, and sit quietly in the corner of the tavern, like two ordinary old men who have lived too long and returned to ordinary life.
I don’t know how long it took, but the TV screen in the distance finally changed. The spectacular train that was sometimes far away and sometimes near turned into a line of eye-catching large characters.
"The second episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" is about to begin!"
All of a sudden, everyone in the TV bar perked up and looked at the TV screen excitedly, as if they had seen something extremely exciting.
This strange scene made the two undead kings extremely confused. They found it difficult to understand why these humans were so concerned about what they saw on TV.
“Is this stuff on TV so interesting?”
The old black man couldn't help but express such confusion.
Likewise, the old skeleton was equally confused, unable to understand why humans would be so excited over such a simple image.
In response to this, a man who was watching a movie nearby said slowly:
"Of course it's interesting, this is the most exciting thing!"
"Is it really that exciting?"
“It’s really exciting!”
"Then I want to see how exciting this TV is!"
The old black man straightened his attitude after saying this and stared intently at the TV screen in front of him, as if he wanted to imprint what was broadcast next in his eyes.
In response to its attitude, the old skeleton also looked at the TV, wondering what this concept that attracted so many humans was.
At the same time, the second episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" officially began on TV!
Chapter 565: The second episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" is now airing!
Chapter 565
Under everyone's watch, the second episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" officially begins.
The first few words he said immediately attracted almost everyone's attention.
“Alchemy is a science of understanding, decomposing and reconstructing matter, but it is not omnipotent.”
"Alchemy cannot create something out of nothing. If you want to get something, you must pay a corresponding price."
"This is the basis of alchemy, equivalent exchange!"
"There is a taboo in alchemy, that is, human body alchemy. No one is allowed to violate this taboo!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the theme song of "Fullmetal Alchemist" officially sounded.
…
“It’s finally started again!”
"It seems a little different this time?"
"Alchemy is mentioned at the beginning!"
"For some reason, when I saw alchemy, I didn't want to continue reading."
"Me too."
