All of a sudden, while everyone was expressing their opinions on what was happening on TV, the plot of the second episode of Fullmetal Alchemist was still going on.
This time the perspective shifts from the Edward brothers to Colonel Roy who appeared in the first episode.
While on a mission as a military alchemist, he heard that there were two outstanding young alchemists here, so he came to investigate.
But when Roy passed by Edward's house, he felt the breath of the alchemy array, so he rushed to his house to investigate and discovered that a tragedy of human alchemy had occurred in Edward's house.
Roy hurried to Winry's house next door and asked Edward as soon as he found him.
Because of this, Edward was obviously traumatized and couldn't utter a word. Instead, it was his brother Alphonse, who had turned into armor, who explained everything to Roy.
After knowing everything, Roy was completely shocked. He didn't expect that two such young children could actually learn human transmutation.
To this end, after some thought, he revealed a way that might be able to rely on the power of the State Alchemist to help the two brothers recover, but the prerequisite was that Edward had to become a State Alchemist.
As the brothers' acting guardian, Winry's grandmother strongly opposed all of this.
Roy did not force it. He left Edward's house after leaving his words.
Afterwards, Edward immediately cheered up. He asked Winry's grandmother to build mechanical arms and legs for him, and devoted himself to rehabilitation training as much as possible.
In just one year, Edward regained the ability to move freely.
Moreover, he also mastered the ability to use alchemy without relying on the alchemy array.
However, Alphonse, who also underwent human transformation, seemed unable to do anything similar.
As for their childhood sweetheart Winry, she learned how to make robotic arms from her grandmother and became Edward's professional repairman.
So, the two brothers, who were ready, headed to the country's capital to take part in the national alchemist examination!
During the assessment, Edward demonstrated his alchemy skills without formation and created a spear out of thin air, shocking everyone in the assessment.
Afterwards, he stabbed the examiner's president directly, showing his youthful spirit.
But the president didn't care at all and left with a smile.
When Edward reacted, the spear in his hand broke into two pieces.
In short, after passing various tests, Edward successfully became the National Alchemist and was awarded the title - Fullmetal!
Thus, Fullmetal Alchemist was born!
At the same time, the two brothers Edward and Alphonse embarked on a journey to find a way to restore their bodies, that is, to find the universal stone, the philosopher's stone!
This concludes the second episode of Fullmetal Alchemist!
…
"So that's how it develops!"
"The two brothers actually lost their bodies and limbs for human transformation."
"By the way, what is this thing called the Philosopher's Stone that they are looking for? It seems like I have never heard of it before."
"I'm looking forward to the battle with the alchemist later. I feel that this battle system is very interesting."
"Yes, alchemy is really a magical concept. I don't know what it will be like if I use this system to fight."
"… "
After watching the ups and downs of the second episode, all the audience finally felt relieved.
It can be said that before watching the second episode, many viewers were nervous the whole time because they knew the outcome. After all, the situation of the two brothers was too weird, and no one could guess why they became like this.
Now that it has been confirmed that everything was caused by human body transformation, the audience actually breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the fear of the unknown is the real fear.
At the same time, after watching the movie, the magicians undoubtedly had only one biggest impression.
That is, magic alchemy is really too difficult. They originally thought that they could learn something from this film, but the more they watched, the more confused they became.
After all, the plots in the first two episodes of "Fullmetal Alchemist" did not involve the specific use of alchemy, but focused more on laying out the concepts.
For many magicians who are tortured by final exams and hope to learn some specific applied knowledge, this seems to be the most useless concept.
In contrast, the reactions of those high-level lecturers and great sages at the top of the Tower of Dharma were extremely shocking after watching the film.
What they lack most about magical alchemy is concepts. Now the movie "Fullmetal Alchemist" directly presents the concepts in front of them, which in a sense fills the most important gap for them!
…
At the same time, in a tavern in the eastern part of the empire.
The two gods looked at the TV screen after the second episode was played and fell silent for a moment.
Although they were already prepared for the movie "Fullmetal Alchemist", they were still shocked from the bottom of their hearts when it was actually broadcast.
"This movie is really amazing. It actually came up with so many amazing ideas. In a sense, it's really interesting. And most importantly, the story is very interesting!"
Dragon God Dona gave such an evaluation, and this was the only evaluation she could give, because as a Dragon God, she did not know much about deeper things.
In contrast, the forest god Ezio had a very solemn expression. She silently watched the finished TV screen and could not help but mutter:
"Equivalent exchange, this concept is really interesting. Everything follows the theorem of equivalent exchange. It sounds like a very interesting idea. Is this how humans understand the world based on their own logic?"
The forest god muttered to herself, but then she murmured:
"No, all of this should still be related to that magic alchemy. The starting point of everything is still magic alchemy. This movie itself is an extension of magic alchemy. If you think so, does the magician who masters magic alchemy want to master the truth? By the way, what is the philosopher's stone mentioned in the TV show?"
All of a sudden, the Forest Goddess's expression became more and more shocked the more she thought about it. It was obvious that she had been completely immersed in the complex and infinite future of magical alchemy, and felt the almost infinite vitality of this emerging discipline!
Of course, before Ezio could continue thinking, Donna placed a barrel of wine in front of her.
"Haha, of course we have to drink when we come to the pub!"
As he spoke, His Excellency the Dragon God directly drank a whole barrel of wine, causing people from all directions to show surprised expressions.
Chapter 568: The Undead King: TV is too exciting!
Chapter 568
After the second episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" was aired, the most shocking thing was undoubtedly the two undead kings in a TV tavern in the imperial capital.
The expressions on both of their faces from beginning to end can be described as shock, shock, and more shock.
Whether it was the images broadcast on TV, the brilliance of "Fullmetal Alchemist" itself, or the various unimaginable settings in the story, these two Undead Kings who had not left the Chaos Realm for a hundred years were deeply shocked.
"Is this a TV? It's too exciting!!"
The old skeleton beside the old black man couldn't help but be shocked by his shock:
"Yeah, it's so exciting, it's almost like my skeleton is falling apart!"
"Is this thing filmed? It looks real, but if you look closely you can tell something is wrong. It's really weird."
"It should be filmed, but the problem is that even if it is fake, the story of this TV show itself is exciting enough!"
"It's only been a hundred years, why am I completely confused by humans now? In another hundred years, I might just be buried in the ground!"
"I think it's okay for you to be buried now!"
"Impossible! I'll need at least another hundred years to do this!"
"... ..."
For a moment, the two Undead Kings spoke so excitedly, and it took them a long time to calm themselves down and no longer be so excited.
After calming down, the old black man silently watched the images on TV and said to himself:
"Alchemy, equivalent exchange, human transmutation, truth, soul... Although these terms seem to be completely unrelated, when combined together they are so chilling."
"Yes, especially when I watched the scene where the two brothers were performing human transformation, I didn't even feel that they were performing human transformation. Instead, I felt that they were performing a ritual to revive the undead."
Old Skeleton took over the old black man's words and expressed his complete shock at what was happening on TV.
"Yes, I feel the same way. After all, resurrecting the dead is basically impossible, but turning an individual into an immortal is completely possible. Of course, in reality, they are completely different processes."
"Although the process is different, it is essentially a ritual of physical transformation. Especially the protagonist's brother, who put his soul into steel. In essence, isn't he becoming a different kind of undead?"
"A living soul entering a dead object can be considered the most perfect transformation of the undead. After all, compared to various transformed bodies, dead objects are the most solid and will never age or dry out. The only problem is the degeneration and decay of the soul itself. Of course, as long as one is above a great magician, the strength of the soul can basically be maintained for a thousand years without disappearing."
“So, I’m really curious about the person who made this movie. He should be an ordinary person who has never experienced undead transformation, but why does he act like he knows more about undead transformation than we do? It’s incredible!”
The two kings of the undead talked to each other and finally reached a consensus that the person who filmed the film was an unfathomable being who had great knowledge of the undead.
Of course, in a sense, their guesses were indeed correct. As a director, Du Lin was surrounded by many undead beings, not to mention the existence of a super-class lich.
Apart from that, what shocked the two immortals the most in the TV drama plot was undoubtedly the stone gate that captured the protagonist and allowed him to see through the truth of the world.
Although it is just a similar concept, the two Undead Kings have actually had similar experiences, or it can be said that this is an experience that every undead in the world must have when they become undead.
In the process of alternating between life and death, they will enter a magical state and understand a very wonderful law in an instant.
Although that would not bring any enhancement to the undead, it would let them know that the most important thing they should do as undead is to abide by the rules.
The law is the world, the essence, and the truth.
This coincides with the concept proposed by "Fullmetal Alchemist".
Therefore, the two undead kings further deepened their understanding of the unfathomable nature of the TV filmers, and felt deeply fearful and wary of them.
After all, if this kind of cognition appeared in a being that was also undead, it would be understandable, but if an ordinary human had such a deep understanding of undead like them, it would be quite unacceptable for them.
"What do you think of this TV?"
In response to the sudden question from the old black man, the old skeleton hesitated for a moment and replied:
"It's very interesting, but also very scary. I can't quite see the true face of the person who made this thing."
"I just heard someone say that the person who made it is called Durin Edward, and he seems to be a magician from the Human Empire Magic Academy."
"The Human Empire Magic Academy? Isn't that where you used to be?"
"Don't mention this to me. I have nothing to do with that place now."
The old black man said this angrily, as if he wanted to completely distance himself from the Imperial School of Magic. Then he continued:
"I thought maybe we could go meet the creator of that TV and maybe it would help our current situation a little bit."
"Are you crazy? Are you going to ask a human for help?"
"Haha, what are you so surprised about? We don't have anywhere to go anyway, right?"
"... ..."
The old skeleton hesitated for a long time at the old black man's answer, and finally nodded.
Although the two are kings of the undead, they are just ownerless souls. Under the suppression of the laws, they can never gain true freedom.
As for whether meeting the creator of the film would bring about any changes, they naturally did not hold out high expectations.
After all, life and death are determined by fate, and all destinies have already been arranged.
Of course, in a sense, the two Undead Kings’ trip to the Human Empire this time can be considered fruitful. Just knowing the concept of television is worth celebrating.
They have even made up their minds to bring one back with them when they return to the Chaos Realm.
However, the chaos realm is currently unable to receive signals, and a small base station must be established to enable stable image transmission.
If the two Undead Kings didn't know this and excitedly brought a TV home, only to find out there was no signal when they got home, the consequences would be disastrous...
Chapter 569: The third episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" is on air!
Chapter 569
After the first two episodes of "Fullmetal Alchemist" were aired on TV, the subtitle "After the commercial, it's even more exciting" was given, which really whetted everyone's appetite.
The audience didn't mind it and were happy to continue chatting and gossiping with others in the warm TV bar.
Anyway, in such a cold winter, there is nothing to do even if I go back home, so I might as well stay here and kill time.
In addition to discussing the content of the movie that had just been played, the audience in front of the TV was naturally most curious about the railway that was about to open to traffic.
Whether it is TV commercials or the plot of "Fullmetal Alchemist", the concepts of railways and trains are clearly put forward. This is almost an epoch-making means of transportation, and anyone who sees it would want to study it carefully.
Even the two gods from the East and the two undead kings from the Imperial Capital felt an inexplicable feeling after seeing this rather magical means of transportation.
It was as if, without realizing it, some crazy changes had taken place in the world that I was familiar with.
It is unknown whether this change is good or bad, but its speed will definitely exceed everyone's imagination. It will quickly transform the world into a strange place that no one knows what it will be like!
In a world like that, even beings of their level couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of curiosity and excitement.
