Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Over time, he developed the ability to draw freehand.

"What you gave me looks like... a ballistic missile?" Leonard was, after all, one of the 'Listeners,' and he quickly figured out what it was, something that ordinary people couldn't understand.

"Yes, this is a special missile designed specifically for anti-missile systems. It can quickly deviate from its trajectory and correct itself during interception."

“This thing…” Leonard seemed to be saying that this thing was of no use to him.

He never considered launching a missile at the United States, since the United States is currently the only country in the world with an anti-missile system.

Of course, what he doesn't know is that 'Mithril' also has an anti-missile system, and it's more advanced than the American one, specifically designed to prevent nuclear strikes.

“I know it’s not very useful, I’m just providing you with some technology,” Isaac said. “It’s a birthday present, so this technology is not bad.”

"Thank you anyway," Leonard said with a smile.

Isaac was arguably his first friend, and also the first friend to give him a gift on his birthday.

Regardless of whether his theory is useful or not, he will cherish it.

"Speaking of which, you mentioned before that Tessa and you were born on the same day, right?"

That's right.

“Then let’s prepare a gift for her too.” Isaac looked around. “Where do you store your junk?”

"In the backyard, what gift are you going to give Tessa? You're not going to write another technology, are you?" Leonard asked. "She doesn't seem interested in that."

"I thought so too, so I'll just get her a plush toy."

"Huh? I don't remember you buying that thing."

Isaac stayed with them after leaving the museum and didn't have much time to go to places like gift shops.

"Of course I didn't buy it, but I can make it myself."

"what?"

"Just take me to the storage room."

……

The two went to the backyard.

There is a shed in the backyard specifically used to store miscellaneous items, and of course, there are some discarded things inside.

Isaac went inside and randomly picked out a few cotton items and placed them on the ground.

"what are you up to?"

“Of course it’s a gift,” Isaac said, pushing Leonard out of the storage room. “Wait outside for a moment, I’ll be right there.”

"Huh? Oh."

Leonard obediently stayed outside the door.

Isaac stood alone in the dimly lit storage room, his hands resting on the items.

呲~

The bright current spread out, illuminating the originally dim clutter.

The junk in Isaac's hand began to twist and deform, and then turned into a small teddy bear.

"It's done."

Isaac picked up the teddy bear and walked out of the storage room.

Leonard was waiting outside, and when he saw Isaac come out carrying a teddy bear, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"How did you manage to do that?"

"I just casually processed the scraps inside."

"That's way too fast!"

“Of course it’s fast, I make a living with this skill,” Isaac laughed.

The two returned to the room, where Tessa was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When she saw Isaac and Leonard walking towards her, she immediately put down her book.

"That brother, and..."

“Just call me Isaac,” Isaac said with a smile.

"Brother Isaac?"

"Hey, good boy." He said, glancing at Leonard beside him with a subtle expression. "Don't call me 'Brother Extraordinary' like some brat."

Leonard said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with that?"

"I feel very bad."

Without saying much to Leonard, Isaac handed the teddy bear in his hand to Tessa.

"What's this?" Tessa asked, somewhat surprised to see what he was holding.

"Today is your birthday, right? Happy birthday, Tessa."

"Huh?"

Tessa paused, then slowly turned her gaze to Isaac.

He actually knew my birthday...

Don't you like it?

"No, I love it!" Tessa readily accepted the gift with a bright smile. "Thank you, Brother Isaac."

Isaac smiled and patted her little head.

I think I once stroked a girl's head like that...

"!"

Isaac's eyes narrowed to a single point in an instant.

Seeing that Isaac's hand had frozen, Tessa asked cautiously, "Brother Isaac, are you alright?"

"No, I just remembered something."

Isaac pretended nothing had happened, but he was inwardly unsettled.

There was always a figure in his mind, but he couldn't recall it no matter what he did. He could only vaguely see a strand of golden hair that had drifted through the depths of his memory.

"Who...who are you?" Isaac murmured to himself.

One day, he will find his lost memories.

……

As time went by, it was almost time for dinner.

Mother and Father returned home at this time, having already bought a huge turkey.

The two families, a total of nine people, sat around the table and began their Christmas dinner.

Maria, the siblings' mother, looked at the teddy bear in Tessa's hand and asked in confusion, "Tessa, where did you get this plush toy?"

"This was a gift from my brother Isaac," Tessa said shyly.

“Oh? Thank you so much, Isaac,” Maria said, thanking Isaac.

Isaac waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

At this moment, his mother leaned closer to Isaac and said with a smile, "Oh my, Isaac is as gentle as ever."

Chika turned her head away dismissively.

"What's the big deal? Isaac gave me an even bigger one for my birthday."

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing at the dinner table, a group of armed soldiers had already surrounded the mansion under the cover of night.

“I will count to three, and you will attack immediately. Clean up all but the two little devils in the photo.”

"Yes!"

Chapter 506: The Uninvited Guest

"cheers!"

Everyone sat around the table, raising their glasses to celebrate Christmas. Although Isaac was unhappy with the juice in his hand, he was quite enjoying the atmosphere.

In this world, he has a family.

As a soldier at Brix Keep, he had no family, but instead a group of brothers who would live and die with him.

He enjoyed life in the fortress, even though it was tough, he was always working hard towards his goals.

Unlike her past self who couldn't remember what happened seven years ago, she unexpectedly recalled her experiences in the new country after coming into this world.

However, at that time, he stayed in the Yao tribe's territory, his mother stayed in the palace, and his father, as the emperor, was also in the palace.

The family didn't have much time to get together, and even when he occasionally went to the palace, his mother would force him to wear women's clothing. This kind of life continued until he was seven years old when he went to Amestris to find the 'elixir of immortality'.

In today's world, parents are just ordinary parents. Although the father may be related to some mysterious organization, their lives for the past twelve years have indeed been like those of an ordinary family.

Even if I hadn't regained my memories, I probably would have still been able to thrive under the care of my family.

"What's wrong? Why are you smiling like that, Feifan?"

"what?"

Isaac realized that everyone at the table was looking at him strangely.

"That smile on your face looks like you're contemplating life," his mother said with a smile, poking Isaac's cheek. "You're only twelve, don't act like an old man all the time."

"No, it's just..."

Isaac stopped abruptly, his expression hardening as he glanced around. He suddenly sensed the presence of many people nearby—about thirty in total.

There are people around the house!

"What's wrong?" Carl asked. "Isaac, are you feeling unwell?"

“No, Uncle Carl, are there any other people in this area besides us? Neighbors or anything like that?” Isaac asked.

Carl pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

“No, we’re the only family here. Our neighbors live in a neighborhood about a kilometer away,” he said. “Isaac, why do you ask that?”
