What do you want to know about Alchemy, boy? My servant isn't an expert in the subject unlike his Masters.

O-okay.

Someone told me about something called a Philosopher's stone. I...wanted to know more about it.

The Philosopher's Stone is a dangerous subject to dabble in, but not very uncommon for any Alchemist. It's a legendary substance that supposedly could turn inexpensive metals such as lead into gold or, alternatively, create an elixir that would make humans younger, almost immortal as long they take it. Gold is a metaphor in Alchemy, not always taken as literal, but the symbol of perfection.

Those are the two most usual theories; other alchemists state that, in true, this element will grant its maker the ability to transmute most things in nature without need of the key ingredients to accomplish that.

We, Hellsings, have never tried to seek the Philosopher's Stone and certain attributes sound like pure rubbish.

Is that enough information?

So it can change something into something else?

...someone said something about it being able to bring someone back from the dead too.

You shouldn't ask him about that. I rather prefer that you didn't ask him about alchemy. It is bad enough what he did behind my back.

Master =/ the boy obviously needs assistance. It seems my future Master is answering his questions.

Not from you he does not. Your days in dabbling in alchemy are numbered.

The other Greed told me about the Philosopher's stone, but I didn't know if he was making some of it up.

We each have inside us. What else do you need to know?
