Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Leonard turned his head in surprise.

"You...you can actually understand it?"

“What’s there to not understand?” Isaac laughed. “Even if your handwriting is messy, I can still decipher its meaning.”

"Are you like us?" Leonard asked urgently.

"What's the same?"

"N-nothing." Leonard shook his head and walked downstairs with Isaac.

……

Today is Christmas Eve, and dinner was prepared by Maria and Isaac's mother, and it was a very sumptuous meal.

The food laid out on the table was very tempting.

Isaac's father and Carl each opened a glass of red wine, while Isaac, the 'twelve-year-old brat,' could only stare blankly, no matter how much he loved drinking.

"Dad, give me some wine."

"You're only twelve years old, how can you drink alcohol?"

"Hahaha, you shouldn't be thinking about drinking at your age." Carl laughed heartily. "Tessa, there's juice in the fridge, you kids can have some."

"Ok."

Tessa jumped off the chair and scurried towards the kitchen in her slippers.

At the dinner table, the two fathers chatted and laughed while sipping red wine, while the two mothers also seemed to be enjoying each other's company, both discussing their children. Erica calmly ate her meal, while Chinatsu frantically piled food onto Isaac's plate.

Only Leonard had been staring at Isaac the whole time.

“Little Leonard, I feel embarrassed staring at me like that,” Isaac said with a smile.

"No... I'm sorry."

“It’s okay, I know you’re curious. My dad also thinks I’m the same kind of person as you,” Isaac said, “although I don’t think so.”

"but……"

"Hmm? What are you two talking about?" Karl turned around and asked with a smile. "I didn't expect you two to become friends so quickly!"

In his memory, his son Leonard was very shy, just like Tessa, and was basically unwilling to meet strangers. He didn't expect him to chat so happily with this new child.

"No, this..."

Bang! !

Just as Leonard was about to tell her about Isaac, Tessa, who had retrieved the juice, suddenly tripped and fell, hitting the edge of the table.

The violent shaking caused the large pot of boiling soup on the table to overturn, and the steaming soup splashed towards Tessa's face.

"!"

Tessa was so frightened that she stood frozen in place.

Right now!

'accelerate.'

Suddenly, Isaac activated his mechanical eye. With the brain acceleration brought about by the device, everything around him froze. The spilled soup and the pot also solidified in mid-air.

Isaac stood up in the seemingly frozen scene, picked up the pot and brought all the soup back into it, then helped Tessa up.

Then deactivate the acceleration.

"what!!"

"Are you alright, Tessa?"

Maria turned around the moment she felt the table shake and found that nothing on the table had been overturned, and Tessa was standing there in a panic.

"Are you alright, little Tessa?" Isaac asked perfunctorily.

“No…no.” Tessa shook her head.

She was very confused. She had clearly seen the soup on the table about to spill on her, so how did it suddenly return to normal?

"Um... juice." Tessa poured a bottle of juice into Isaac's hand.

"Thank you."

“Tessa, you’re still as reckless as ever,” Carl chuckled. “Luckily you weren’t hurt. Be more careful next time.”

"Yes."

With a sense of doubt, Tessa sat back down in her seat.

Only Leonard was frowning.

He had been watching Isaac the whole time, so he knew Isaac's movements best.

Just as Tessa bumped into the table, he clearly saw the figure of Isaac sitting opposite him suddenly sway, and the soup that was about to spill all returned to its original position.

This person is definitely not simple!

He must be hiding something.

"Reinard".

"What?" Leonard suddenly jumped when he heard Isaac calling him.

"I have something I want to ask you. Would it be convenient for me to come to your room tonight?"

“Of course,” Leonard replied.

I happen to have a lot of questions to ask this mysterious person.

……

I enjoyed the meal very much.

Since they were guests, Testarossa's family naturally arranged rooms for them.

There are two spare guest rooms on the first floor of the mansion. The parents have one room, and the rest are naturally for Erica, Chinatsu, and Isaac.

Chika looked at Isaac with a grin and said, "Isaac, fate cannot be changed..."

"Please say something that I can understand."

"Just give in to me tonight."

"Stop acting crazy." Isaac watched Chika act silly with dead fish eyes.

The night was long, and looking into his room at Erica and Chinatsu, two beautiful girls, one big and one small, Isaac decided...

Let's go to Leonard's room and discuss academic matters.

Chapter 503: Can I call you Brother Feifan?

In Leonard's room, Isaac casually picked up a chair and sat down, holding Leonard's doodle in his hands.

Without a doubt, the knowledge contained herein is not something that should exist in this era, and the technology it contains may not even exist in 2031, the year Isaac lived.

Speaking of the previous world, Isaac looked at the world map and the history between the countries, and at one point thought that the current world and the world he experienced last time were just the same world at different points in time.

But upon closer reflection, although the previous world had exoskeleton armor and Gastrea, weapons similar to AS never appeared, and there wasn't even a record of them.

After careful consideration, it was discovered that the world they were in was completely different from the previous one.

"Reinard, did you write this report by yourself?"

“No, it was something I did with my sister Tessa,” Leonard said.

Isaac nodded.

His sister, like him, is one of the 'listeners'. If the two of them work together, it means that the amount of information they have is different.

“Isaac, are you like us?” Leonard suddenly asked. “Do you have this voice in your head telling you all this knowledge every day?”

“Me? I’m not that lucky. I’m not born with such cutting-edge knowledge,” Isaac laughed. “My knowledge comes from learning. I’m just an ordinary person.”

"Huh? A lot of people can't understand what we write, but I didn't expect you to be able to," Leonard exclaimed. "And you did it all by studying."

He was eager to know how long it had taken Isaac, a twelve-year-old boy like himself, to master this world-leading knowledge.

Isaac turned his attention back to Leonard's graffiti.

"This technology can make objects completely invisible through light cloaking, which is fundamentally different from existing radar-resistant stealth materials," Isaac laughed. "Moreover, it seems to be much cheaper to manufacture than those delicate materials, making it a deadly weapon."

"Weapons?" Leonard asked, somewhat puzzled.

He and Tessa were simply perfecting the technology; they had no intention of using it anywhere.

“Any cutting-edge technology that is invented will eventually be used for military purposes if it is suitable,” Isaac said. “Just think about it, if this technology were used on an intercontinental ballistic missile, how much destructive power would it cause?”

"This……"

Leonard's pupils contracted in an instant. Although he was a 'Listener' with cutting-edge technology, he was still a child at heart, and there was a huge difference between him and Isaac, a soldier in the body of a twelve-year-old child.

He didn't realize that if his technology were ever used for military purposes, the guilt he would have to bear would be immense.

While Leonard remained silent, Isaac had already memorized every detail of his theory.

As he just said, this technology is very suitable for military use, and he will definitely use it in his current weapons and equipment once he returns to Amestoris.

However, this technology is not yet perfect and requires further exploration and understanding.

“Don’t worry,” Isaac patted Leonard on the shoulder. “At least not many people know about your research right now, and it’s still a long way off before it’s actually used in war.”

"That's good." Leonard breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Can I borrow this thing for a moment? I'll go back and see if I can make some improvements."

"really?"

Although Isaac kept telling him that he wasn't like him, Isaac was the first 'kid' he could talk to.

"Oh right, I remember your name is Isaac, right?"

“Yeah,” Isaac joked. “I’m a few years older than you, so it’s fine for you to call me big brother.”

"You must be from China, right? What's your real name?"

"Real name? Yao Feifan, what's wrong?"

"Can I call you Brother Feifan?"
