Kassel, canteen.
“Does it mean that as long as you master the human body, you can resurrect the dead? Doesn’t that mean that Eva can also do it?” Fingel put down his knife and fork, rarely listening seriously.
“That’s right.” Ian nodded: “It should be possible to refine the human body, but just using the materials of the human body and the medium of the soul will fail. I don’t know how to succeed at the moment. It may have to go through specific procedures. Only through experiments can we understand the conditions behind it.”
“Do you want to do experiments in Kassel?” Fingel asked.
“I’m going to leave for a while.” Ian took off the MAGI bracelet from his hand and handed it to Fingel: “This is a farewell gift for you. I’m here to say goodbye to you today.”
“Is it a super artificial intelligence from another world?” Fingel picked up the ultra-high-tech bracelet: “I remember you said that you studied dragons and speech spirits in order to find a way home, and now you have New research direction?”
“Well, I have obtained the authority of the White King and the Black King, but at present, I am only equivalent to a child holding a nuclear bomb launcher in my hand. I can use this power, but their principles and composition , I don’t understand it at all, so now my focus is entirely on alchemy, and I want to visit the birthplace of alchemy.”
“But if you put it this way, aren’t you already able to freely travel through the world’s barriers? Why are you still studying alchemy?”
“It’s not that simple. I still rely on the Weird Bug to travel through the barrier, but the Weird Bug is in another world. The farther away we are from it, the weaker our connection is. It’s like a WIFI signal. Now we are separated by a wall. Wall, the signal is still working, but if I go to another room, the signal is basically gone, and it may be a little troublesome for me to come back here.”
“Isn’t it dangerous for you to leave so rashly?”
Ian didn’t say anything, just smiled.
“Yeah, I’m too worried.” Fingel scratched his head and almost forgot who he was talking to: “When are you leaving?”
“Leave tomorrow morning.” Ian said, “I have said goodbye to everyone else. You are the last one. Even if I leave, my partners will still continue to work together with you. This is your world. I I believe you can handle everything.”
“Then there’s no need to say more.” Fingel raised his glass: “I won’t go home until I’m drunk tonight! Have a good drink!”
“You won’t come home until you’re drunk.”
The swaying wine reflected the light, and the two glasses clinked together with a crisp sound.
There was a feeling of dizziness, and the dazzling sunlight shone on Ian’s face. He adjusted a little and looked around.
What comes into view is the red earth. This is a desert with sparse vegetation and a body temperature above 30 degrees Celsius.
“Sure enough, the connection is about to be lost.” Ian closed his eyes and felt the breath of the weird insect.
He should have arrived in Edward’s world now. The body of the grotesque insect is still sleeping in the “coordinates” of the EVA world. It is already separated from him by two world barriers. It can almost be regarded as entering the “no man’s land”.
It’s not that he can’t go back. His connection with the grotesque insect is pulling him away from this place.
His current state is like a rubber band tied between him and the grotesque insect. Now the rubber band is very tight. If he lets go and tries to help, he should go back to Cassel smoothly. You can go back to New Tokyo City after taking a breath, but this way, you won’t be able to move forward and reach Parade Island.
“Let’s explore here for a while and figure out where we are.” Ian looked down.
He was at a high place, and below him, he saw a city. In the center of the city, there was a pointed-arched building with reliefs carved on the walls. It looked like a church.
“Just in time, let’s go and inquire about it first, and then find a place to stay overnight.”
In order not to scare the aborigines in the city, he chose to take the main road to enter.
As soon as he entered the city, he heard the sound of the radio.
“O people of God who live on earth, pray and believe, otherwise there is no salvation.”
“The sun god Leto will shine under your feet. As long as you have faith, the living will have eternal life and the dead will be resurrected.”
Most of the vendors in the city have a radio that plays the same church proclamation.
Ian observed the residents silently. People here have all kinds of skins and faces. This is a very tolerant city, and no one pays much attention to him, an outsider.
Ian came to the shadow of the alley and whispered: “MAGI, search keywords, Leto Church.”
Following his command, MAGI projected a text and some images.
“The Philosopher’s Stone. Lust and gluttony. Is that so? Things are getting interesting.”
He looked up at the magnificent pointed arch building and narrowed his eyes.
The clanking steam train moved along the track, and a plume of black smoke emitted from the locomotive stretched across the vast plain.
The sun was about to set, and the clouds in the distance turned golden by the setting sun.
Edward and Alphonse sat in their seats, reading the newspapers.
“Leor, the population loss was serious due to the war, but recently, it has suddenly become lively. Colonel Roy said there are clues to the Philosopher’s Stone. I hope it is true this time.”
“Brother, it will take two days to arrive at Leor.” Alphonse’s dull voice came out from the tall steel armor: “Brother, please rest first. I will wake you up when we get there.”
“Well, that’s up to you, Alphonse.” Edward nodded: “I will definitely restore your body to its original state.”
It was night, and night enveloped Leo.
The believers who gathered in Leto Church during the day all went home. Only Rosey remained in front of Lord Leto, kneeling on her knees, closing her eyes and praying.
The quiet candlelight illuminated the profile of Rosé’s face. Her long hair hung in front of her white dress. The loose clothes could not cover her young and beautiful curves.
Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her, stopped praying, stood up, looked behind her, and saw the face of Bishop Cornero.
The bishop is fat, has a bald head, wears a black clerical uniform, and has small eyes.
This person was the founder of Leto Cult. Rosey quickly stood up and saluted the bishop.
“Roseley, it’s already so late, why don’t you go and rest?” Bishop Cornello squinted his eyes and smiled: “Are you too lonely?”
“Mr. Bishop, I’m sorry to disturb you. I’ll go back right away.” Rosey lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the bishop’s eyes.
“The devout believers are praying to God Leituo, how can they be disturbing? It’s too late for God to be happy.” The fat bishop walked up to the girl Rosette: “Rosey, you should consider what I told you last time. Okay, don’t go back tonight, I’ll take you to the ceremony.”
“But, Lord Bishop” Rosette bit her lower lip.
“Don’t you really want that person to be resurrected? Your lover is so pitiful. He died in the war. He is obviously so young and still has a lot of youth left.”
The bishop sighed regretfully and showed off the ring on his hand. The gems on the ring reflected a dense red light.
He sighed and picked a flower from the vase, and then the flower changed in his hands, miraculously turning into a small sculpture of the god Leto.
“Rosey, God Leto is watching you every minute and every second. God wants to help your lover resurrect, but God still doesn’t know how devoted you are to him.”
“This is a rare opportunity to communicate with God. I saw you praying so hard and sincerely to God, so I gave you this hard-won opportunity. Do you want to live up to my expectations of you?”
The bishop patted the girl’s shoulder with a kind face and placed the sculpture in the girl’s hand.
“This is all for your lover and yourself.”
“Mr. Bishop.” Rosey finally raised her head, her eyes flashing as if she had made some determination.
Yes, everything is for her lost lover.
The bishop would not lie. He made this empty city prosperous again and protected weak and powerless women like them.
It must be that her soul is not pure enough and her faith is not pious enough, so she failed to get a response from Lord Leto. The bishop just wanted to help her purify her soul.
“Come on, let’s go.” Cornero realized that the girl had fallen into his palm, and a strange smile finally appeared on his face.
It is indeed the Philosopher’s Stone. In the past, he was just a little-known alchemist. After accidentally obtaining this stone, he transformed into the great Bishop Leto.
Wealth, power, fame, and a young and beautiful girl like Rosette, everything that was beyond his reach in the past, became his possession.
He came closer again, and the girl’s fragrance came from the tip of his nose. The evil fire that he couldn’t control in his heart drove him to reach out and take Rosey into his arms.
However, at this moment, before he could react, something flew past his eyes, and the shadow illuminated by the candlelight drew a beautiful arc.
That’s his right hand.
“——Ah!!!” Cornello screamed heartbreakingly.
His right wrist was broken, and blood spurted out. His fat body and face trembled violently, and the fat on his face was squeezed into an ugly lump.
There was intense fear in Cornero’s heart, and he fell to the ground. The Philosopher’s Stone ring on his right index finger was shining brightly, and his broken right wrist was in front of him.
Ever since he got the stone, he had never let it leave him even a centimeter.
He was crawling around trying to get closer to the ring, trying to hold it in his palm, but then there was a gunshot, his skull was penetrated, and he died in the church hall, his eyes bulging towards the ring. direction.
Only then did Rosey react, and she opened her mouth to scream, but a hand covered her mouth. The hand was so powerful that she couldn’t resist at all.
“Ma’am, please stay quiet, I don’t want to hurt innocent people, especially an innocent lady.” Ian whispered.
While he cut off Cornello’s right wrist, he carried Rosey away from the crime scene to prevent her from being accidentally injured.
Rosey realized that the man in front of her was something she could not resist. Her back was soaked with cold sweat. Even the bishop was killed by him, and he killed him so easily, as if he had killed a chicken.
After the panic, a strong desire to survive burst out.
She was originally a girl with a weak heart, otherwise she would not seek religion and God to comfort her soul.
She quickly gave up her struggle, but her body was still shaking.
“Madam, please don’t worry. I killed your bishop just because he deserved it. He is a veritable liar. He fabricated the Leto Religion and created the church. He only has the Philosopher’s Stone, so he can show it in front of you. Miracle, he is actually a bastard who deserved his death. Not only did he deceive you kind and ignorant girls, he also secretly conducted research on synthetic beasts.”
Ian said: “Of course, I know it is difficult for you to believe this now, but I will prove it to you. I hope you can cooperate with me. I let go now. You promise me to be obedient. I promise you never If you agree to hurt you, just blink three times.”
Rosey had no choice and blinked as Ian asked.
Ian then let her go and took off the ring from Cornello’s right wrist.
There is a red gemstone on the ring, as deep red as blood. This is a complete substance, the Philosopher’s Stone. Legend has it that it can give life to dead people, flesh and white bones, breaking the principle of equal exchange in alchemy.
But the power contained in it is already very little. When Cornero established the Leto Cult, he squandered the power of the Philosopher’s Stone without knowing how to save at all.
“My name is Ian, Miss Rosey. You should know the structure of this church very well. I hope you can lead the way for me. I will take you to expose the lies of the Leto Cult.” Ian put the ring in his pocket.
Rosey looked at the bishop’s body, her face pale.
“Where are the guards? What did you do to the guards?”
“I just let them sleep. I don’t want to harm unsuspecting and innocent people.”
“Where do you want to go?”
“There should be a basement under the church. There is the synthetic beast hidden by this liar bishop, as well as his evidence. After reading those, you will know the truth. I hope you can testify for me. Let’s expose the Leto Cult together. Lies to prevent the city from descending into panic and chaos.”
Rosette clutched the hem of her clothes tightly. She didn’t know if what this strange man said was true, but she could only do it.
She was very familiar with the church and silently led Ian through the intricate passages of the church and into the basement.
However, the door to the basement opened, and two faces she had never seen before appeared in front of her.
One was a woman in scantily clad clothes, and the other was a short, honest, fat man. There was a strange atmosphere about them, which made Rosey feel chilled from the bottom of her heart.
“Come behind me.” Ian frowned and immediately took the girl’s hand and protected her behind him.
He recognized the identity of these two people, they were the artificial beings of the villain in the bottle, the seven deadly sins of lust and gluttony.
