The audience's exchanges were so lively that people's feelings about the TV could be said to be quite deep, which shows that they have been completely immersed in the plot given by the TV.
Therefore, even though the TV has entered the commercial period, people are still constantly talking about the story of "Fullmetal Alchemist" with no intention of relaxing at all, and are completely immersed in the story!
Chapter 595: The truth behind the truth!
Chapter 595
At the same time that the audience was discussing the story of "Fullmetal Alchemist", in the prison of the imperial capital, the two Undead Kings also started their own discussions after watching the contents of the sixth episode.
"Hey, old skeleton, what do you think the Philosopher's Stone is?"
The old skeleton, who was still thinking about something, was slightly stunned by the old black man's words, and then responded:
"How should I know? Maybe it's some strange material. After all, this world is so big, there must be some strange substances beyond imagination. Maybe there will be omnipotent magic stones as well."
"That's the case, but I don't think it's that simple."
The old black man said, muttering to himself:
"The law of alchemy, equivalent exchange, this concept has been proposed at the beginning of the story. Since all substances need to comply with the principle of equivalent exchange, why doesn't the so-called Philosopher's Stone need equivalent exchange? In other words, is there anything that can violate the principle of equivalent exchange, and the concept of normal equivalent exchange does not exist at all?!"
Facing the old black man's sudden long speech, the old skeleton couldn't help but frowned and said slowly:
"You mean, this Philosopher's Stone is made of some concept that violates the principle of equivalent exchange, and so far in the entire story, the only thing that violates the concept of equivalent exchange is..."
Hearing what the old skeleton said, the old black ghost smiled miserably and said:
"As expected, you have guessed it. After all, no one knows that thing better than us undead. No one knows better than us how precious and rare that thing is. That's right, it is the soul, the essence of life!"
"Soul..."
Linking this concept with the development of the plot of "Fullmetal Alchemist", the old skeleton couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling.
Although it is the king of the undead and countless people in this world are afraid of its existence, it could not help but realize a horrifying result at this moment.
On the other side, the old black man shook his head silently:
"Using souls as fuel? To be honest, I have considered this path before, but it is obviously unrealistic and should not exist. Compared with other substances, souls are truly non-renewable resources, and they cannot be consumed at will. If you want to use the lives of living people to transform the world, you are doomed to a path of self-destruction."
The old black man's words revealed everything he had experienced. It was obvious that the King of the Undead had already seen through many things in this world.
Of course, it couldn't help but murmur:
"However, if you only use this power for selfish purposes and to satisfy your own desires, then I'm afraid there is no resource in this world that is richer and easier to draw on than the soul."
Hearing what the old black man said, the old skeleton on the side nodded in agreement.
As the kings of the undead, they no longer need to use low-level energy such as souls, but for ordinary necromancers and low-level undead, the souls of living people are the most common consumables and are ordinary items that can be easily obtained.
This is ultimately a fact.
…
While all the audience were sharing their thoughts, the commercial time slowly passed.
This time the advertisement was not the previous ones about magic alchemy, but an advertisement related to the Orc Kingdom.
In order to better promote the economies of the two countries, some specialties from the Orc Kingdom were specially broadcast on TV commercials. I think in the next period of time, the prices of specialties from the Orc Kingdom in the Human Empire will rise for a period of time, and there will be no need to worry about sales.
At the same time, various things from the Human Empire are now being sold everywhere in the Orc Kingdom, especially the large quantities of food, which perfectly fills the huge market in the Orc Kingdom.
There is no doubt that the free trade system initially established between the two countries will provide impetus to the economic development of both countries for a long time.
After the advertisement, the seventh episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" officially began airing.
…
The beginning of the seventh episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" passed quickly, and the familiar Edward brothers soon appeared on the screen.
However, the brothers' current situation seems to be extremely desperate, because they finally found the place where the information was stored as Dr. Marco said - the National First Library, only to find that it had been burned into ruins.
However, it is obvious that this was not an accident, but something someone did deliberately to prevent the truth from being discovered.
Sure enough, the woman in black and the weird fat man who appeared in the picture later proved that all this was related to them, and they also set their target on Scar, and decisively attacked him after discovering him.
The two sides fought fiercely, but it was not clear who won or lost.
Afterwards, noticing the commotion on the battlefield, Colonel Roy immediately brought people to check, but did not find any bodies, only Scar's coat.
On the other hand, the Edward brothers still did not give up the search for information. With the help of two military personnel, they found a person who was rumored to be very familiar with the First Library and visited him.
When we arrived at his home, we found a mountain of books.
In the pile of books, the two brothers found a woman named Siska. They heard that she had worked in the First Library, so they asked her if she had seen the materials written by Marco.
Siska said that he had indeed seen it.
This made Edward happy but also extremely disappointed, because it meant that all the information had been burned to ashes.
But what he didn't expect was that Siska actually said that she remembered everything in it. She has always had the ability to remember everything she saw.
This surprised Edward immensely, and what surprised him even more was that the other party actually spent five days writing down all the information.
However, the happy people soon discovered that Marco's information was not something mysterious, but a variety of recipes.
In response to this, just as the two military personnel who followed were disappointed, Edward showed excitement and moved all the handwritten materials at the scene back with Alphonse.
Before leaving, Edward gave his National Alchemist pocket watch to a military woman named Rose, and asked her to take out a certain amount of money and give it to Siska as a reward.
When they saw the amount, Ross and Siska both showed incredible expressions, because the amount was really too shocking.
Of course, Edward obviously didn't care about this, because the salary of a state alchemist was unimaginable for ordinary people.
Then, the two brothers set out to solve the mystery of Doctor Marco's information!
Chapter 596: Equivalent Exchange, Creating Miracles with Human Lives
Chapter 596
The plot of "Fullmetal Alchemist" made people feel a little surprised.
After all, whether it was Siska, who had a photographic memory and recorded all the information perfectly, or the large number of recipes left by Doctor Marco, they all exceeded the audience's imagination and surprised everyone.
"Does this kind of person really exist in the world? He can actually remember everything he sees, this is too outrageous!"
"Who knows? It seems that there really is such an awesome person in the legend."
"Don't tell me that. After a magician reaches level five, his memory becomes extremely good. A great magician with better talent can remember everything he sees, and can remember everything clearly in his mind!"
“So amazing?”
"How can one cross the threshold of the fifth level if he is not so powerful? The great sage is said to be even more outrageous, and it is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people."
"Let's not talk about that for now. What do you think of those recipes?"
"It's strange that Dr. Marko wrote such a large number of recipes."
"What? That's obviously an illusion. How could something as dangerous as alchemy be easily discovered by ordinary people?"
"Yes, I think those recipes should be alchemy notes, but Doctor Marco disguised them as recipes to prevent ordinary people from finding them."
"Oh, so there's a secret code in there?"
"It's very possible. It could be some kind of code that only alchemists can understand."
"Indeed..."
"… "
People were discussing so loudly. Faced with the extremely exciting plot of "Fullmetal Alchemist", most people had no intention of blinking at the moment. They all stared at the screen, waiting for subsequent developments.
…
Under everyone's attention, the plot of "Fullmetal Alchemist" continues to develop.
After Edward and Alphonse sorted out the information, they immersed themselves in it at a very fast speed and quickly began to decipher the contents.
This scene stunned the military personnel who were on guard duty nearby. They could hardly imagine how talented alchemists these two young men were.
At the same time, Sisca's talents were revealed to the military by Edward and Alphonse, and Lieutenant Colonel Hughes ran over immediately and recruited him as his subordinate.
Because the First Library was burned down, the information on many cases was lost. If Siska's memory could be used to restore it, a lot of work could be saved.
Afterwards, Edward and Alphonse spent a full ten days deciphering the contents of the data.
However, when they finally succeeded, the two who knew the answer fell into a state of rage.
“Are you kidding me?!”
Edward angrily threw the documents in his hand to the ground, and Alphonse sat there in silence.
Outside, two military personnel heard the noise and rushed over, unable to resist asking:
"What's wrong? Didn't you succeed in deciphering the information?"
Edward remained silent in response to their doubts, while Alphonse said in a lost voice:
"It's been deciphered. It's been successfully deciphered."
"Really? Isn't that great?"
Faced with the encouragement of a military officer, Edward punched the ground angrily and shouted:
"What's good about this? How can this be good? Damn it! Demon research is something that shouldn't be pursued. Is this what it is, Doctor Marco?"
"What's the meaning?"
"The material for the Philosopher's Stone is a living person! And it takes a lot of sacrifices to refine a stone!"
"What?!"
Hearing Edward's words, the two military personnel were suddenly shocked.
"Is the military actually doing such cruel research?"
"This kind of thing won't be allowed!"
Edward seemed to have known the result and sighed:
"Don't tell anyone about this. Just pretend you didn't hear anything about what happened today."
After hearing what Edward said, the two military personnel finally nodded helplessly, because they knew what would happen to them if this matter spread.
…
"What the hell? The raw material for creating the Philosopher's Stone is human life?"
"Using human lives to build a philosopher's stone, what is this?!"
"It's truly a devil's research!"
“This is too outrageous!”
"Are the protagonists going to use other people's lives to save themselves?"
"This is unacceptable! This is too cruel!"
"So this is an equal exchange? Using the same number of lives to exchange for a Philosopher's Stone that can create miracles, this does seem to be equivalent..."
“But this is a bit too cruel.”
"This is research that shouldn't have existed. No wonder Doctor Mark was so desperate at the time and even tried his best to escape from the military."
"… "
For a moment, the audience showed an expression of disbelief.
After all, this answer was too shocking. No one had expected that the real material of the Philosopher's Stone was human life.
Looking at it now, the bright red gem looks like something condensed from blood, which makes people feel a little chilly instinctively.
In the tavern in the eastern border of the empire, the two gods were slightly stunned when they saw this scene, and then a trace of solemnity flashed across their eyes.
"I really didn't expect this answer. The so-called omnipotent philosopher's stone is actually made of human lives."
Dragon God Dona said this, and she was not in a relaxed mood.
From this we can see that the attitude of the gods in this world towards the mortal race is not indifference, but they look at mortals from a perspective that is more closely related to themselves.
On the other side, the forest god Ezio said calmly:
"In fact, I have long guessed that there would be such a possibility. After all, life is the most precious and least precious thing in this world. Even in the eyes of gods, there is such a distinction. Otherwise, the war between gods would not have been so fierce. There are gods who think that mortals are inferior and purely consumable, and gods who think that the fate of mortals is closely related to the gods themselves. Even we gods have such an attitude, and the ideological differences among mortals will only be greater."
"That's right. Using the most unique thing to exchange for the most unlikely miracle is what is called an equal exchange. This film is really interesting."
