"It's scary just to think about it..."

"What's even more terrifying is that the book says that only the core guys will still feel pain..." At that moment, a chill spread throughout my body.

"What a sad feeling..." Is alchemy so dangerous?

"I have always found it magical. The essence of alchemy is equal exchange. So who is exchanging? Where does the loss in the exchange go? Is there a middleman?" Loss is normal, but this is abnormal. The ordinary worldview can be said to be natural wear and tear, but alchemy is equal exchange!

What is the concept of equivalent exchange? It is just like when you use money to buy something, in theory there will be no other losses, just like spending 100 Moras to buy an apple, unless someone in the middle collects the apples from the fruit farmer and sells them to you, which generates Moras in the middle, this is abnormal...

To put it in more concrete terms, it is very strange. The normal conversion is 1:1, but it can only be converted to 1:0.9, and the same is true in the opposite direction. If the loss is caused by the technique, then why is the loss the same for everyone in history?

Where did the missing part go?

There is a possibility that it is due to the earth veins... The earth veins need power to maintain the equivalent exchange of alchemy, or to give part of the power to the earth veins, so the earth veins will act as the middleman to help... Don't think that the amount of conversion is small. In fact, once alchemy is started, the amount of conversion it brings is huge.

If that's the case, it's understandable... It takes a lot of power to maintain this false world. Alchemy's equivalent exchange can bring about great losses, and what people call losses is the part that is taken away at a clearly marked price.

"Perhaps normal losses? Just like the conversion ratio is not the same."

"Maybe..." He didn't want to say what he had just analyzed. After all, it involved a fake world, and ordinary humans shouldn't know so much... otherwise it would be very troublesome.

"I thought I had learned enough, but the more I read, the more I felt dizzy..." The more I learn, the more I understand my own shortcomings, just like finally climbing up a mountain, only to find that it is just a small dirt slope, and there are more mountains worth climbing...

"But it's fun. It feels great to go from the unknown to the known little by little." Unknown knowledge is always fun.

"I feel a little tired..." Why is reading this book more tiring than exercising with a sword?!

One kind of fatigue is physical and the other kind of fatigue is mental. Physical fatigue can be relieved by rest, but mental fatigue needs to be relaxed in other ways.

"Then take a break. Want to read a fairy tale? I'll read it to you." Treating me like a child... So heartwarming. "Which story do you want to hear? How about "Love, Hope and Light"?"

I haven't read the book yet, it should be a good story.

"I'm fine with it. I'd like to listen to it." It's a book I haven't read yet.

"Then I'll start reading." He cleared his throat deliberately. In his previous life, he had practiced reciting. Although it was his first time reading, he read with emotion and ease. "Once the world was a barren place..."

"Shrouded in darkness, no sun, no stars, no moon."

"Until a god appeared, and the sun came with it, the barren land began to give life, and the first seed took root and sprouted, growing into a beautiful tree."

"The gods created the mountains, the ocean, and the sky, but they were lonely so they created animals."

"Different animals have different voices and appearances, and they all grow into the heart of the god, who treats all animals and creatures as his own children."

"The gods can understand the language of animals. I have talked to all the animals, but I still feel lonely."

"Why am I lonely? The god thought. There are so many lives willing to accompany me. There are blooming flowers, flowing streams, endless sky and sea, and unreachable mountains and rivers."

“With all the good things around me, why would I feel lonely?”

"The god walked to the top of the water, felt the coldness on his feet, and suddenly realized something. He walked towards himself in the water, sat down and took a closer look."

"There is still a lack of living beings like me, and lives similar to me."

"The first person appeared, a beautiful person, with hair the gray of dead wood and eyes the deep purple of sunset."

"The first child wanted a name, so the gods gave him a name..." He did not read on. Desir felt a little strange, but did not push him.

Doriana Ishmael… I seem to have heard of this name before, but not her last name. Wait, this doesn’t feel right… Is this really a storybook?

"You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?" Is it because of the wound and is it starting to hurt again?

"It's okay, keep reading..."

"That child, like Him, has the power to give life to things. That is the only child... Only this one..."

"In order to create more living beings, humans came into being. Real humans were cowardly and fearful. They were afraid of the dark, afraid of pain, and greedy..." This doesn't sound like a fairy tale at all.

"Man has harmed the world. The rivers have dried up, the forests have withered, and the animals are letting out their last cries."

"Why?" the god asked. "You are all creatures created by me, but you want to kill each other just for the so-called desire?"

"Gunpowder made the land unable to grow food, blood dyed the rivers red, rotting bodies attracted maggots, and the plague spread wildly in people's fear..." This is definitely not a fairy tale. What exactly is it?

"The gods finally put an end to everything. Their blood flowed into the original tree, and flowers bloomed again on the dry land. Their tears turned into rivers, making the red water clean again. Finally, their bodies dissipated into rain, and the plague that spread among the people in fear disappeared with the baptism of the rain."

“The world has entered a fragile peace.”

"The First Man was divided into two, reason and emotion, body and soul, but He... they are not alike and yet extremely similar."

"Selina is the younger sister..." That's totally wrong! "Sorry, this may not be a fairy tale book. I'm very interested. Can I borrow it to read?"

"I have never seen this book before... I must have received it here accidentally? As for borrowing it... I have to ask the head of the family." All the books in the library belong to the family. Outsiders need to ask for permission before borrowing them. Although they can be borrowed at exchange meetings, they also need to be registered and returned on time.

"It's time for me to go home. It should be about time. Don't worry, dinner tonight will be very good!" After packing his things, he waved goodbye.
