Chapter 484: Visitor

Both the media and the "ic future" magazine have begun to shift some of their attention to "Soul of Chess: Beidou Cup". Some film critics are even speculating on the movie's box office.

One month before the release of "Soul of Chess", many interested in Go, or the original readers of "Soul of Chess", and even some professional chess players, began to pay attention to this movie.

Even so, the popularity of "Steel Refining" is still not overshadowed by "Soul of Chess".

The publication of "Western Sages (Part 2)" quickly brought readers back to the world of "Smelting Steel".

This episode is the same as the previous one, there is still not much fighting, but its excitement is no less than the most exciting four episodes in December.

Edward and others crossed the desert and came to the ruins of Xerxes.

When it comes to this country, Edward only knows "the story of the sage in the eastern desert", that is, the legend of people who escaped from Xerxes and promoted alchemy in Amestris.

When Fu Ye heard Edward's words, he mentioned the "Western Sage".

"...a great man from the West taught alchemy. His technology was integrated with the technology passed down to Xingguo in ancient times, and there was the 'alchemy'. We all respectfully call him the 'Western Sage'."

Edward was walking among the ruins of Xerxes, but accidentally saw a broken formation on a high wall.

He had never seen this formation before.

Following Fu Ye and continuing on, Edward finally saw Rose, who had been burned at the stake by Roy, in a hidden place.

At the same time, Edward's father, Hoinheim, also returned to his hometown where he had been away for many years, but he saw the house burned by the fire and the big tree in front of the door.

...

The narration of this sentence is stable, but the content is full of suspense.

First, the first official reference to Xerxes in the comics.

Why was this country destroyed overnight? In the follow-up story, will this country still appear? This is the doubt in many people's minds

Then, the comics introduced the "West Sage".

Is this person the same person as the Eastern Sage?

in the case of,

So who is this person? If not, who is the Eastern Sage?

After that, Hoinheim appeared. Are he and "Father" the same person again, and why are they so similar?

A series of questions were thrown out by the readers, and some people began to try to analyze the plot.

"I guess the sage of the West is a very key figure, and he will definitely appear in the future. Otherwise, Mr. Shen would not be able to use the sage of the West as the title of these two episodes."

"Then again, who would the Western Sage be?"

"I don't know, it should have happened a long time ago. You think, 'alchemy' is the product of the combination of alchemy and ancient technology. If a technology wants to develop, it can't be done for hundreds of years, just theory It will take a long time to perfect.”

"You said, is Hoinheim 'my father'?"

"Certainly not. You forgot, in the last chapter, 'Father' is still with the artificial man. Besides, if he is really 'Father', his wife can't die."

"But there must be a connection between Hoinheim and 'Father', otherwise the two wouldn't look the same."

"It's possible."

"I found that so far, there are still many secrets in "Smelting Steel" that have not been revealed."

"This is good. If all the secrets are revealed now, "Smelting Steel" will become boring again."

"I remember someone mocking Shen Da in the last chapter, saying that he can draw such cartoons. Hehe, can he draw them?"

"What do they do? Those people are just talking about it. If you really find them, I guess they will be a bunch of cowards."

"Haha, yes."

...

On the Chinese comics hot list, "Steel Refining" is still firmly ranked first, and the gap with the following comics, whether it is "Sirius", "Shengwu Academy" or "game", "Hunting Abyss", None of them shortened the distance from "Smelting Steel".

Not only that, "Soul of Chess" relied on the promotion of the "Beidou Cup", and it went straight all the way, appearing in the ranks of top50 again.

Seeing the gap between "Sirius" and "Steel Refined" gradually widen, Duan Ping also lost the mood to post on Weibo.

Wang Yunze joined Duoman.com, which also had a great influence on him.

Before, he hoped to use this job-hopping to elevate his status among cartoonists to another level, but now it seems that he is really too naive.

Why is "Forged Steel" so much better than "Sirius"?

Duan Ping picked up the booklet on the table and read it again.

His cheeks were flushed as he turned to the last page.

Regardless of whether he has any objections to Steel Refining, it is impossible to deny the excellence of "Steel Refining".

In the end, he had to say something in his heart—it smells so good.

After the incident last time, Fu Bo has learned to behave well. Even if he is bored, he will not complain on the Internet.

Fortunately, he deleted the post in time last time. If he is really found out as the instigator, his reputation will be rotten.

But in his spare time, he still can’t help complaining in the studio. At the same time, the requirements for the drawings are gradually increasing, which makes the assistants exhausted. However, they can’t complain to each other in the group, so they can only complain in private During the meal, he had a slight remark on Platinum.

"You said, did Liu Rui work as hard as us at Teacher Shen's place?"

"My guess is that the picture of "Steel Refining" is obviously more refined than "Shengwu Academy". Also, her salary should be higher than ours, right?"

"That's for sure... It's just that Mr. Shen's studio should not be easy to enter." Shang Peng sighed.

When it comes to Liu Rui, the three assistants are envious, but not everyone has Liu Rui's luck.

"Ah Choo!"

Liu Rui sneezed violently, then rubbed her nose.

"What's wrong?" Gao Hang asked in a low voice, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"It's okay. My nose was itchy just now."

Liu Rui shook her head, but looked at the invitation letter in her hand with excitement.

Just now, Kubo Kanan, the supervisor of "Soul of Chess: Beidou Cup", led by Ji Yinxuan, knocked on the door of the studio, and sent a copy of the premiere of "Soul of Chess: Beidou Cup" to everyone present invitation letter.

Liu Rui took the opportunity to ask Kubo Kanan to sign on it, making this invitation letter a commemorative significance, but it also brought new troubles.

The "premiere" will be held on February 2, and February 5 is the Spring Festival. If you attend the premiere, you may not be able to buy a ticket to go home.

So tangled.

Perhaps this is "pain and live happily"!

Liu Rui, who was caught in a tangle, took a peek upstairs, where Shen Xin, Xi Muhan, Ji Yinxuan, and Kubo Kanan sat around the tea table, and a translator in their thirties acted as a communication "medium". On the sofa on the second floor, talking softly.

Since they were far away, I couldn't hear what they were talking about.

It must be related to the movie, right?

Liu Rui thought in her heart.
