The audience, who had already known that "Fullmetal Alchemist" would be shown tonight, sat excitedly in their seats in the tavern. With excited expressions, they kept talking about the story on TV and were obviously looking forward to the subsequent plot.
And under everyone's excited gaze, the story of "Fullmetal Alchemist" gradually began!
Chapter 593 The truth about the Philosopher's Stone!
Chapter 593
In TV bars across the empire, audiences took their seats expectantly.
After watching the first chapter of "Fate Stay Night Heaven's Feel" during the day, everyone began to look forward to "Fullmetal Alchemist" in the evening.
Right now, the TV show hasn't officially started yet, but TV bars all over the country have already gathered huge crowds of people.
"Is Fullmetal Alchemist about to start?"
"Finally I can watch Fullmetal Alchemist again!"
"Where did the last plot end?"
"I remember, I remember, it seems that the protagonist and the others were injured by Scar and they had to go back to recuperate!"
"Oh, does this mean I can see the heroine?"
“I’m already looking forward to it!”
"… "
For a moment, the audience looked at the scenes on TV with anticipation, obviously having been looking forward to the story that would appear this time for a long time.
At the same time, in a TV bar in the eastern part of the empire and in a prison in the imperial capital, two goddesses and two undead kings were already waiting in front of their TVs.
It is also impossible for them to miss this TV show, and they are full of expectations for the story of "Fullmetal Alchemist"!
Of course, the two gods still had to work in the tavern while making time to watch TV, which seemed quite depressing.
In contrast, the two Undead Kings were calm and composed. Although they were now in prison as prisoners, after becoming proficient in puppetry, they were able to manipulate the jailers to watch movies at will without any panic.
The only bad thing is that recently more and more prison guards have reported cases of amnesia.
…
Under everyone's attention, "Fullmetal Alchemist" was officially broadcast on TV.
First there is the usual opening description of alchemy, followed by the official scene.
The scene begins with the Edward brothers boarding the train to go home. Lieutenant Colonel Hughes comes to see them off. In order to protect the safety of the Edward brothers, Major Armstrong serves as their bodyguard to ensure their safety on the road.
When the train arrived at a platform, Major Armstrong suddenly saw a familiar figure and exclaimed:
"Doctor Malcolm, isn't this Doctor Malcolm? Long time no see!"
Hearing what Major Armstrong said, the man called Doctor Mark was so scared that he turned around and ran away.
Seeing this scene, Edward showed a confused expression.
Major Armstrong explained that Doctor Marko was a once famous alchemist who studied the integration of alchemy and the medical field, but his whereabouts were unknown after the Ishval Annihilation War.
After hearing this, Edward immediately decided to get off the car and look for the other party, because he thought that the other party might know theories related to biological alchemy, and was more likely to know the existence of the Philosopher's Stone.
After getting off the bus, the two searched everywhere based on the portrait of Doctor Marco drawn by Armstrong, and finally learned that the other party seemed to be practicing medicine here under the alias of Doctor Mauro.
When Edward arrived at Doctor Marco's house, Doctor Marco shot him almost to death as soon as he opened the door.
Doctor Marco was so frightened that he asked loudly, he thought the two men were sent by the state to arrest him.
Faced with Marco, who was in a rage and could not be calmed down with words, Armstrong simply subdued him and forced him to calm down.
Afterwards, several people began to communicate. Armstrong first greeted Marco and asked about his recent situation.
Marco said that he was no longer willing to serve the country because the country had forced him to study something evil.
Edward and Armstrong asked him what it was, and Marco gave an answer that shocked both of them.
Because that thing turned out to be the Philosopher's Stone!
Marco was forced by the country to study the Philosopher's Stone, and eventually he took away the research materials and the stone and fled here. Of course, the Philosopher's Stone in his hand was only a semi-finished product.
Edward was extremely surprised and wanted Marco to show him the research materials. Marco couldn't understand why the other party wanted to pursue such taboo things at such a young age.
For this reason, Edward told the other party about himself and his brother, which made Marco look shocked.
However, Marco was unwilling to let Edward see the research materials until the end. He believed that if he allowed the other party to come into contact with such taboos, he would eventually fall into despair and witness hell.
Edward finally had no choice but to leave.
Just as the two were about to get on the train, Doctor Marco came over, wrote down the location where he had hidden the information on a piece of paper, and gave it to Edward.
Marco also told him something very nonsensical but meaningful.
"If it were you, you might be able to touch upon the truth behind the truth."
After saying that, Marco turned around and left the scene.
Afterwards, when Marco returned to the room, he suddenly found a woman dressed in black sitting inside. For a moment, his expression froze on his face.
…
"What the hell, what's going on?"
"Is this doctor named Marco going to die?"
“It’s so scary!”
"The main problem is that this doctor obviously knows too much. It's obvious that he won't live long!"
"In the end, he told the protagonist what he should know. He has done his best!"
"I'd like to know what he meant by the phrase 'the truth behind the truth'. Isn't there usually only one truth? Why is there another truth behind the truth?"
"Who knows? Maybe there isn't just one truth to the Philosopher's Stone!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"The most important thing is, isn't the Philosopher's Stone an omnipotent magic stone? Why does it need to be created? What kind of raw materials does it need to be made of?"
"Who knows, but seeing as Marco looks like he doesn't want to come into contact with anything again in his life, it must be something very scary!"
“It’s hard to imagine what that would be!”
"… "
Various discussions were heard in major TV stations. After watching this part of the plot, the audience suddenly felt a little surprised and nervous.
The excitement of "Fullmetal Alchemist" far exceeds people's expectations. Even a seemingly transitional plot is still crammed with extremely rich content, making people unable to help but communicate non-stop.
At the same time, whether it is the researchers who suddenly encountered the Philosopher's Stone or the mysterious truth that seems to be hidden behind the Philosopher's Stone, it can't help but arouse people's discussion.
Everyone couldn't help but communicate at this moment, wanting to know the truth behind the Philosopher's Stone and the truth about the organization to which the woman in black belonged.
Chapter 594: Research on the Essence of the Divine Spirit
Chapter 594
In the TV tavern in the eastern part of the empire.
The two goddesses worked while watching TV in the distance during their free time.
After seeing the various plots on TV, the two gods couldn't help but feel a little amazed, and then they couldn't wait to start communicating.
The first to ask was the Dragon God Dona:
"Ezio, what do you think this so-called Philosopher's Stone is? What is it made of?"
In response to the Dragon God's question, the Forest God Ezio pondered for a moment, then murmured:
"The Philosopher's Stone is set to be an omnipotent stone, that is, a perfect energy source without any flaws. I can't think of anything like this in reality except the essence of the gods."
"You mean the stuff that gods shed after they die?"
"Yes, you still remember what happened back then, right? The essence of the gods can be said to be the most perfect material. Whether it is used as an energy source or as a material, it has the most perfect properties. After the God War ended, I specially collected a lot of it for research."
"You actually studied the essence of the gods? Did you kill other gods at that time?"
"How is that possible? Do you think I'm a monster like you? In that battlefield back then, except for monsters of your level, ordinary gods were just cannon fodder. I hid in the position I created from beginning to end, which is how I escaped. It was not until after the war that I had the opportunity to collect the essence of the gods."
"I see."
Donna couldn't help but nodded. Only then did she remember that the woman in front of her was not only the god of the forest, but also a fanatical god of magic.
The other party's pursuit of truth is no less than that of the most truth-obsessed magician.
Ezio's expression was quite subtle, because she knew very well that the Dragon God was also one of the most powerful gods in the war of gods, and his men must have crushed the essence of other gods with their own hands.
Therefore, Ezio obviously had no intention of continuing the conversation. After she turned her eyes back to the TV, she spoke silently:
"In short, although the essence is a perfect substance, it is very rare and almost no longer visible in this era. In addition, there seems to be no gods in the story of Fullmetal Alchemist, so this must be a wrong answer."
"Is that so? Then what is the material of the Philosopher's Stone?"
"I don't know, but as the story continues to develop, it will eventually be revealed."
Realizing that the Forest God seemed unable to guess what the Philosopher's Stone was made of, the Dragon God Dona had no choice but to turn her attention back to the TV.
At this moment, the picture on TV has switched from the halftime picture to the continued storyline.
…
In the scenes of "Fullmetal Alchemist", the ending of Doctor Marco was not presented to the audience. Instead, it was directly switched to the protagonist Edward and others at the last moment.
Edward and Armstrong carried Alphonse in a box all the way to Winry's house. When they arrived at the door, they met Winry's grandmother.
While the two were talking, Winry suddenly appeared. After learning that the mechanical arm she made was badly damaged by Edward, the angry girl punched him directly.
However, the other party soon began to work at full capacity, claiming that the robotic arm would be repaired within three days.
In this way, Edward and others stayed in Winry's house for three days. Major Armstrong also learned a lot of things that happened in the past between Winry and Edward's family from Winry's grandmother.
For example, Winry's parents died in the Ishval annihilation war, and Edward and Alphonse burned their own house to the ground before leaving, in order to make up their minds...
In this way, three days passed by unknowingly, and Winry successfully remade the mechanical arm for Edward. Edward, who was able to perform alchemy again, repaired Alphonse's body.
So the two brothers set out again on the journey to find the Philosopher's Stone and returned to the Central City the next day.
This time, they seemed to have a goal, which was to find the research data about the Philosopher's Stone left in the note by Doctor Marco!
At the same time, there is an episode here. After Winry woke up, she found an extra screw on the table. It seemed that it was accidentally forgotten and dropped during the previous manufacturing.
Faced with this situation, the girl seemed very helpless for a moment and scratched her head embarrassedly.
At this point, the sixth episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" came to an end and it was time for commercial breaks.
…
Faced with the reality of entering halftime, the audience expressed their feelings and quickly started communicating.
They obviously also had a lot of ideas about the many plots in this episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist".
"This robotic arm is really interesting. If it really existed, some disabled people might not have to live such a miserable life."
"But to be honest, I think this kind of robotic arm is very difficult to make. It doesn't seem like something that can be made casually."
"No way, aren't magicians now very powerful?"
"No, no, I think you have no idea about magic. If it's just a simple stent, it's fine. But even if a fully functional robotic arm like this one that can be directly connected to nerves is made, it can't be given to just anyone. It's too oppressive. If an ordinary person uses it, their body will be broken."
"Indeed, Edward looks relaxed, but who knows how much pressure he is under. This kind of thing cannot be used by ordinary people."
"Back to the story, a girl like Wen Li can actually study the field of robotic arms for so long. She is really a good girl."
"Yes, this is obviously not just because of her own interest. She sincerely hopes that she can help the Edward brothers."
"There are not many good girls like this in the world."
"I'd like to know what the Edward brothers will do if they find the Philosopher's Stone and recover their bodies. And will the childhood sweetheart relationship between Edward and Winry develop further?"
“I’m looking forward to this too!”
"But to be honest, it's clear that we haven't even found the shadow of the Philosopher's Stone yet."
"Since Doctor Marco gave the information to Edward, it should only be a matter of time before we find it."
"Really..."
"… "
