My thoughts seem to go back to more than 20 years ago...
In Sean's time, it was just half a month ago that this happened. He was the man who always followed Rachel with a shy smile.
He must have been in his twenties at that time!
Of course, the time calculation in this world is not so accurate. One year is counted as a year after winter. Sometimes winter ends very early and the snow may end in a week, so the age will be advanced... If you really count it, Rorschach may have been just twenty years old or a little less, because he looked very young and always called himself Brother Sean.
Although both of them were intentionally monitoring him at that time, they were just following their mentor's arrangements. As far as getting along with each other is concerned, both of them are not bad by nature. They may be more pursuing fame and fortune, but who doesn't live for fame and fortune? At least Rorschach and Rachel didn't give him that bad impression.
What's more, he let Ockham go because he wanted the manuscript, which led to both of them being punished...
But Sean at that time didn't expect that this separation would be Rorschach's last days!
"It's Brother Rorschach."
Lucille's anger was instantly dispelled. She and Rachel had met over the years, and she knew that the reason why she had not married and even gave up the name of Christian was because of Rorschach.
The heir of a noble family must have descendants, otherwise the family will not be able to continue. Then Rachel could not let go of her longing for Rorschach and was unwilling to get married. In her best years, she chose to leave the Christian family and become a great alchemist... Lucille could not imagine how much she had suffered, but from a beautiful and enviable sister to what she is today, you can understand the hardships she has experienced.
"It was your mentor who gave me the inspiration." Rachel said expressionlessly.
"My mentor?"
For some reason, Lucille subconsciously glanced at Sean...
"What did he say?" Lucille asked.
"He once raised the question of whether there was something that could defy the principle of equivalent exchange. We even argued about it back then... but I later realized your mentor, Sean, was right. Such a thing does exist. We've only been adhering to the ideas of our predecessors, which they refused to explore. That's what constrained our thinking. It wasn't until I joined the Royal Alchemists that I discovered a manuscript written by Abdullah, which actually recorded this method."
The moonlight gradually rose, and Rachel, who was in the shadows, gradually walked towards the light, with an expression of "Excited!" hanging over her head.
"I used it to create the Alchemist's Stone."
It was as if Sean understood the whole story in an instant. He had indeed asked the other party twenty years ago, and his original intention was to ask if there was such a thing as the Alchemist Stone. He had never expected that this would become the turning point later!
"I have a question for you. How did you know that I would come to this place to find the other part of the manuscript?" The other party used Lucille to plot, so how did she know that there would be another part here.
I am also confused about this.
"Don't you understand why I know this?"
The other person's smile made Sean a little confused. Could it be that she saw that he was the Sean from twenty years ago? At this time, Lucille beside him also cast her eyes over.
"I don't understand what you mean." Sean finally asked tentatively.
"Hmph, you're just as cunning as your mother... Lucille, you were too young back then, so you might not remember anything, but when I first laid eyes on your disciple, I thought he looked very similar to your late mentor, especially when he was dressed in the noble uniform of the Zambutal region. They were exactly the same."
It turns out that Rachel has not forgotten what she looked like at that time. She still remembers it after more than 20 years!
"Plus, he's the son of the Desert Queen. If I'm not mistaken, his father isn't some country baron, but your mentor, Sean... That's why their names are exactly the same."
Poof!
Sean almost lost his balance, but Lucille beside him had a look of shock on her face.
Oh, don't believe it.
What she says now can no longer be believed!
You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.
He was originally thinking about how to fight next, but after hearing this, Sean didn't know where to start complaining.
"Your mentor likely came here just for these manuscripts. Over the years, I've investigated everything, including what happened in the swamp town of Kimohe. Although most people back then were already insane and talking nonsense, I had people record everything they said, especially the one in the blacksmith shop. Based on his recollections, it's likely your mentor was the one who started the fire."
Rachel's words made Lucille fall into memories...
She was only five or six years old at that time, and her mental and developmental abilities were not fully developed, so how could she remember these things?
The only thing I remember is that there was a big fire, and everyone was trapped in the town and couldn't get out. The food for those days was only loaches caught from the swamp... Apart from these, I can't remember anything else.
"But then the incident in the imperial capital happened, and I have never given up investigating it all these years. The great alchemist Meredith I knew at that time died at the hands of your mentor, and he didn't get anything useful at the time." Rachel explained.
"this……"
Sean didn't expect that Rachel could still find out the truth of that year after more than 20 years.
That's right. At that time, she was just a local alchemist. She didn't expect that she would be the one to become the great alchemist in the end. If she had such power, she could indeed access any information and keep pursuing the truth.
I underestimated her determination and her feelings for Rorschach!
Those two people...
The boy who always liked to hide in the dark and watch the other person kept appearing in my mind.
The final problem actually lies with him.
"According to the habits of those two, even if they passed away, they would tell you everything, whether it was your father or your mother... So I bet you would want to look for this manuscript when you come here again. It seems that I guessed right!" Rachel said confidently.
"Give it to me. I need this thing. Just give it to me... I can ignore everything you do."
Sean took a step back, and when he turned to look at Lucille, she was staring at him intently, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Because the young disciple was moved by the fact that his name from twenty years ago was mentioned...
He reached out and slapped the other person on the face.
"Wake up, Lucille. What she said isn't true. You can't give this to her, or else something will go wrong."
She bit her lip, and the slap finally woke her up!
"Hmph, you're not qualified to talk to me in that tone..." She stepped forward, her elegant steps regaining confidence.
"But no matter what, you are my disciple. No one can take you away without my consent!"
