Chapter 383: Prison
Father is the main antagonist and one of the strongest creatures in this world.
Four hundred years ago, the royal family of one of the kingdoms in the pursuit of eternal life created the first ever homunculus - "Father". He was created in Xerxes from the blood of the main character's father..
Having created a completely new creature in the form of a clot of unique substance, at that time a "homunculus" who could not live without a special flask in which he was put after creation, the royal family ordered him to find a way to gain "eternal life", and he began to look for this method, gradually putting his plan into action.
At the same time, he gradually taught Van Hohenheim alchemy, writing, reading, arithmetic, and other sciences.
With the help of lies, the homunculus eventually puts his plan into action and, being close to the king, deceives him into creating a philosopher's stone from the country and its inhabitants, which he later takes over his hands.
Because of the enormous power of the resulting philosopher's stone, the once-clot of energy, the "homunculus", creates a body in the likeness of the body of its creator, Van Hohenheim, and at the same time it creates other homunculi, which is why they later call it " Father».
Van Hohenheim was originally a slave of the kingdom under the code number 23, but his Father, during a ritual that was supposed to make the king of the country "immortal", while still a clot in the flask, in gratitude for the blood provided, because of which he was eventually able to be born, allows Van Hohenheim to survive and he receives eternal life. life and eternal youth.
Because of this, Van Hohenheim gains "immortality", but it will only work as long as the Father himself is alive..
After that, Van Hohenheim begins to wander the earth like a ghost. He had no place to live and since he was immortal, he had nothing to chase after.
After wandering for 380 years, Van Hohenheim meets a woman and realizes that his life up to this point was too boring, and decides to start a full-fledged family.
Although he was an immortal, he was still considered an ordinary person, so this woman eventually gave birth to two boys, Edward and Alphonse.
After living with his children for several years, Van Hohenheim realizes that he is tired of such a boring life, and sets off on a journey again.
His wife and mother of two later dies of an illness, and Edward, who already hates his father because of his sudden departure, begins to hate him even more and blames him for the death of his mother, after which he and his brother change their surnames from "Hohenheim" to " Elric».
After becoming orphans, two boys, obsessed with the promise of bringing their mother back to life, begin to intensively study alchemy, and that part of alchemy that is strictly forbidden.
The two brothers did not care about the ban and, after months of grueling training, they try to resurrect their mother, but the attempt turns out to be not just a simple failure — the resulting creature did not look like a person and because of the recoil, the two brothers almost die, but manage to survive.
Edward immediately loses his left leg due to the recoil, while Alphonse loses his entire body.
Elric the elder, having no other choice, draws a blood seal on the armor and pulls the soul of his younger brother out of the "Gate of Truth", paying for such a move with his right hand.
After this incident, the two brothers went through all the tribulations together and became true alchemists.
Edward had replaced his arm and leg with mechanical limbs, and his younger brother needed to find a normal body.
In any world, what was forbidden couldn't be touched, and the ban on resurrecting people in this world was no exception — anyone who tried to resurrect a certain person would only end up with a bad ending.
Body, soul, and spirit were irreplaceable. More importantly, people couldn't rise from the dead. This was the iron law of this world, and they tried to circumvent it, and they almost died in the end.
— The resurrection of man... Is it really impossible to resurrect a person? Su Xiao asked Rai while lying on the bed.
Rai's answer was very simple. Since he was only a "Hunter", he couldn't "resurrect" anyone».
What was meant by this was that Paradise could resurrect a person, and whether Paradise could resurrect a person in "full" volume, and not a simple "copy", was not specified.
If Heaven resurrected just a pathetic copy of his parents, would it all be worth it?
— All misfortunes are caused by weakness, " Su Xiao mumbled as he pondered and soon heard a loud sound from the next cell.
Bubtney howled with all his might, and his eyes seemed to say: "I'm hungry when the food is served to me?!»
— Bubtney, shut up.
Su Xiao didn't mind waiting. He had a full month to complete the mission, and if he couldn't leave the prison officially in the next two days, he would leave with his own powers.
A couple of minutes later, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.
Soon a group of guards stopped by his cell.
Su Xiao looked towards the exit of his cell and saw an officer.
«Su Xiao looked at the officer and realized that he wasn't a human being.
— Open the cell, " the officer said, and one of the guards reluctantly opened the door.
— Explosive alchemist, we are ready to give you a chance. Are you ready to join the army?
Su Xiao narrowed his eyes.
It happened faster than he thought. Apparently, due to the high difficulty of the mission, Paradise gave him a very unique personality.
Although it was logical — without such a personality, he probably would not have been able to complete his mission on time.
— Will you let me out and give me the stones?
He didn't mind joining this camp, but if they didn't give him the Philosopher's Stones, he wouldn't give them his bombs.
— Of course, " the officer replied, his eyes twinkling.
— Su Xiao stood up and walked to the bars, but the guard with the keys in his hands didn't remove his shackles.
— You bastard... The guard gritted his teeth in anger, and his hands trembled.
— Execute the order! The officer said coldly and looked at the guard.
As soon as the shackles stopped restricting Su Xiao's body that guard felt guilty.
Many people knew that this alchemist had killed a large number of ordinary soldiers.
— By the way, this is my dog.
Bubtney's eyes were filled with expectation, and naturally, they were actually shouting: "Master, I'm hungry!»
Bubtney was quickly released from the cell. Most of the guards stared at him, barely able to restrain themselves from stroking him.
His 43 points of charisma really wasn't an empty phrase.
Further procedures were performed without any sudden problems. Su Xiao was allowed to take off his prison clothes and immediately put on his own clothes, including Lan Kai's windbreaker, which increased strength, agility, and stealth.
----
An old-fashioned Jeep was driving down the road. Su Xiao and Bubtney were in the back seats, and the officer was driving.
— We need you to help us deal with one person. Right now, we don't have enough workers. Although the deaths of ordinary soldiers don't matter, please try not to kill them too often, " Along with these words, the officer's appearance quickly changed.
The stern looking officer was actually a teenager with black hair.
