What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

Hearing this, everyone was very surprised, and unconsciously turned their gazes to Dongmi's face, only to see that the young man also looked bewildered.

"Eh? Grandpa, do I know you?...Although I have seen an uncle who looks very similar to you..." Dongmi said in confusion.

Indeed, although they look very similar, compared with Von Hohenheim, who looks about 35 years old, "Father" looks about 60 or [-] years old no matter how you look at it.

—Could it be Ed and Al's grandfather?Dongmi suddenly opened his mind.

"Looks like... You mean Hohenheim...? He's still alive... But I don't want to see you and he has nothing to do with him, I'm just interested in you." "Father" said this.

"Toya Ixiutani, born in 1886 in the mainland calendar, was born in Eastern Optiny City, and now lives in Eastern Lisable Town—this is your official household registration information, but in fact, your first The first appearance, a year and eight months ago, came to Lisable as a distant relative of Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric, who had come to care for the bereaved."

"However, before this, no one in Lisable or Optin has ever seen you, and there is no record of your customs clearance at the train stations and carriages in the two places. No one knows when you came to Lisable. What's even more strange is that the Elric family has lived in Lisable for generations and has no relatives in Optin at all, and the father of the Erric brothers, von Hohenheim, is even more unlikely to have any relatives—"

"It just so happened that it was also a year and eight months ago that the Elric brothers conducted a failed human body refinement in order to become their mother who died of illness. This practice caused his elder brother Edward Elric to lose his right hand and The left leg, the younger brother Alphonse Elric lost his whole body, and his soul can only live in the armor. It is said that the "thing" they made was buried in their home by Binako Rockbell behind the courtyard, but when we dug there, there was only a sheep bone that had been reduced to white bones under the mound.”

"So, where did the 'things' that were refined by the Elric brothers go? Did the human body refining really fail? Or... actually succeeded?"

After listening to this, even Gullid and the others understood what it meant.

Grove directly asked his doubts: "Toya, are you... an artificial human?"

Fuyuya scratched his cheeks, and gave an affirmative answer simply, "Ah, my situation is more complicated... However, I did appear in this world from the formation of Ed and Al."

"Father" who had kept his face expressionless all this time finally showed a frenzied expression this time.

"Sure enough! Hahahahaha, it's interesting, it's so interesting! Is this fate!? Edward and Alphonse, worthy of that man's son! 400 years ago, slave No. 23 gave me a part of my body, 400 years Finally, the son of Slave No. 23 once again gave another Homunculus a message of blood! My compatriots... only you are my compatriots in this world! I have long wanted to see you once!"

Fuyumi was troubled, "Although I don't know what you misunderstood, but I'm sure you misunderstood..."

"Misunderstanding!? No, I did not misunderstand!"

"Father" denied loudly, then gradually calmed down, and began to speak plainly.

"I was created more than 400 years ago by the alchemists of Xeruxes. Everything I know is born with me, although they made me and liberated me from the gate of truth , but that was only a very accidental situation, just like the Elric brothers refined you by chance. Even if you repeat the same procedure a hundred times, you will not be able to successfully refine it again."

"At that time, I was much worse than you. I didn't have a fixed form, and my appearance was just a shadow. I could only stay in a flask every day. Although it was accidental, in order to refine me, they obtained blood from a slave. As a body message, that is Slave No. 23. In order to thank him for allowing me to be born, I named him—Von Hohenheim, and taught him literacy, alchemy, knowledge... In this way, he slowly emerged from the slaves stand out."

"It was also at this time that the king of Xeruxes found me—" he changed the topic, "He wants to live forever. It really fits the very, very boring and pathetic characteristics of the short-lived human race. What about my wish... However, I also have something I want to achieve, so I took advantage of the king's convenience and asked him to plant the Philosopher's Stone to form an array."

"The formation of the Philosopher's Stone? Is it the formation of circles enclosing pentagons that we have seen on the wall of the ruins of the royal palace of Xeruxes?" Dongmi asked.

"Oh, you've seen the formation formation... that's much simpler. The king used his power to let the citizens of Xeruxes, in the name of digging aqueducts, complete a national refinery around the entire territory. In formation."

"The land that surrounds the whole territory is formed into an array!?" Grove suddenly interrupted him angrily. The legend of the mystery of the overnight destruction of the country, "Xeruxes will destroy the country overnight... Could it be you...!?"

"Father" was not at all unhappy about being interrupted, and continued without thinking: "Hehe... the king's army completed the blood sacrifice at five nodes in the name of thieves. I used the blood left in my body by Hohenheim , opened the 'door' - the Philosopher's Stone for 100 million people, rebuilt my body and his body based on his blood, so that I no longer have to be imprisoned in that flask, and I can finally use my own You can walk on both feet, you can use your own hands to hold tightly, you can use your own body to feel everything in this world—”

"Then, I came to this country—Amestorius, and I taught people in this country how to use alchemy. As the country developed, me and alchemy also took root in this country—this is me. How about the story, isn’t it interesting?”

After listening to the self-report of "Master Father", no one spoke for a while.

Everyone was secretly shocked by this unimaginable past, and from his narration, they vaguely saw a terrifying and dreadful plan.

Gullid also finally understood why "Father" would regard Fuyuya as a compatriot.Although they can all be said to be "artificial humans", these "artificial humans" created by "Father" using the Philosopher's Stone and his split feelings are obviously completely different from Fuyuya and "Father".

"So——what do you want to do?" The one who finally asked this question was Fuyuya, who was relatively clear to a bystander.

“1558年7月，利维耶雅事变；1661年10月，卡麦隆内乱；1799年2月，索普曼事件；1811年3月，威尔斯里事件；1835年10月，南部国境战争；1908年6年，伊修瓦尔歼灭战；1911年5月，第二次南部国境战争……”

"Father" listed these bloody incidents one by one. If someone has a map, they can find that connecting these places can already form two pentagons, but only three corners are missing.

In the end, he said indifferently with a natural tone: "Haven't you already thought about it? ——I want to become a real and perfect existence."

"You-this-home-guy-!!!"

When he mentioned the "Ishwar Annihilation Battle", Grove had already started to lose his breath. At this moment, he could no longer hold back the burning anger in his chest. He drew out two kukri and rushed at "My Lord Father" .

No matter who it is, knowing that their compatriots were slaughtered like that, just for someone's inexplicable selfish desires, they can't restrain their anger.

"Grove!"
