Chapter 5 To Central City
When Ouyang, Edward, and Alphonse appeared in front of Yao Lin again, whether it was Yao Lin or Fauber, they could feel the changes in them. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info can't say what exactly happened to them, but can only feel that their steps are more calm and their eyes are more resolute.
"Well, does he really know the secret of the Philosopher's Stone?" Pointing his right hand at Ouyang, Yao Lin asked Edward with a smile.
Edward nodded and whispered, "Hmm." Yao Lin, can you help us?"
In the previous battle on the street, Edward knew that Yao Lin's own strength was very good, and the two squires were also recognized by Edward and Alphons. If they can help, it will be a good help for Edward's next actions, and more importantly, the androids don't know about them.
With his hands crossed in front of his chest, Yao Lin said with a slight smugness: "Have you finally realized my importance? Tell me the secret of the Philosopher's Stone, and I will help you in whatever you want to do." ”
"Sorry, that's the only one that doesn't work. Edward put one hand in front of him and rejected Yao Lin, and before Yao Lin could attack, he preemptively said, "However, if you come to help us, it is possible to get the ready-made Philosopher's Stone." ”
Groping his chin with his right hand, Yao Lin carefully looked at Edward and Ouyang, Edward's transformation must be related to the conversation between Ouyang just now, and Ouyang still had things that Edward didn't know, which made Edward anxious to seek help from others.
"In other words, you know where the Philosopher's Stone is. …… Okay, whatever you want to do, I'm here to help. For the Philosopher's Stone. ”
"Young master, isn't this ......?"
With a wave of his hand to stop Fu Bo from going on, Yao Lin replied calmly in a low voice. "Well, since they say that there are ready-made philosopher's stones, then as long as we follow them, we can find the philosopher's stones. It's better than doing it ourselves. And ......"
Glancing at the Edward brothers and Ouyang who had gone to find Wen Li, Yao Lin said in a slightly uneasy voice, "I always felt that the materials used to make the Philosopher's Stone were not a good thing. Judging by their reactions, the crafting of the Philosopher's Stone may require something terrifying, and it is not easy to obtain. So, instead of let's make it ourselves, let's go find a ready-made Philosopher's Stone. ”
On the other side, Edward found Wen Li, who was repairing the mechanical armor.
"Wen Li, it's up to you to repair the mechanical armor, it's better to make it stronger, there is a possibility that it will be damaged next. Edward spoke in astonishment, completely ignoring the bruises that appeared on Wen Li's forehead.
Boom!
A wrench whipped Edward away, and Wen Li yelled at Edward angrily: "Why is it on the premise of breaking it? Can't you protect the mechanical armor well!"
Leaning against the wall, Edward weakly stretched out his left hand, completely speechless.
It seems that before fighting the androids, there is a good chance that Edward will die under Winley's wrench.
"Ah!! brother!!" Alphonse hurried to Edward's side, carefully helping him up.
In a trance, Ouyang seemed to see Edward's soul detached from his body, and Alphonse was trying to stuff Edward's soul back into his body.
Sensing Wen Li's hostile gaze, Ouyang left Wen Li's studio in good spirits, not staying there to disturb Wen Li and Edward's flirtation. Ouyang Ke is a single dog who doesn't want to see others show affection in front of him.
When he returned to the room outside, Ouyang found that Yao Lin had already left and didn't know where he had gone. But no matter where he was now, when Edward and the others were ready to leave, Yao Lin would definitely appear again.
Walking out of the room, Ouyang looked at the setting sun in the west.
Ouyang only told Edward about the Territory Refining Array, about the artificial man, and about the truth of Amistolithus, but did not say that the human body could only be refined into a living person, not a dead person, and did not say that Lieutenant Colonel Hughes of Central City was dead.
The aftermath of Lieutenant Colonel Hughes's death is still brewing in Central City, and Colonel Roy Mustan is still pursuing the truth about Hughes's death. Then there is the fact that the android slandered Lieutenant Ross as the murderer of Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, and Colonel Roy used Patton to bait the android.
Roy's murder caused Edward to leave Central City and take a trip to the Eastern Desert, where he met Edward's father, von Hornheim. That meeting was a relaxation of the relationship between father and son, and it also allowed Edward to know the truth about the refining of the human body, let go of a mountain in his heart, and let go of a heavy burden.
Ouyang wasn't ready to change this, these things were important to Edward.
So, a few days later, Edward and Alphonse took Winley to Central City, where they planned to visit Lieutenant Colonel Hughes first, and then go to Colonel Roy to discuss the matter of the Homeland Formation. Edward is accompanied by Ouyang, Yao Lin, Fu Bo, and Lan Fang, who will participate in Edward's next plan to capture the androids in Central City.
Ouyang only knew that when Edward and Alphonse returned to Central City in the original book, they first went to find Colonel Roy, and then met Lieutenant Ross and knew about Lieutenant Hughes, but the specific time was not known.
And this time, because Wen Li strengthened the strength of Edward's mechanical armor, it was delayed for some time.
As a result, when they arrived in Central City, they happened to see newspapers distributed throughout the city. The front page of the newspaper was revealing the murderer of Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, Lieutenant Ross, and also reporting on the reasons for Lieutenant Ross's conviction.
The first time they saw the newspaper, Edward and Alphonse and Winley were about to go crazy, they could not have imagined that Lieutenant Colonel Hughes would die, and Lieutenant Ross would kill Lieutenant Colonel Hughes.
They immediately rushed to Lieutenant Colonel Hughes's home to see Lieutenant Colonel Hughes's widow and daughter. Ouyang and Yao Lin were thrown at the train station by Edward.
Ouyang chose to keep up with Edward, while Yao Lin chose to wander around Central City first to see if he could find the Philosopher's Stone.
When Ouyang came to this world, Hughes was already dead, so even if Ouyang himself had a certain affection for Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, it was impossible to resurrect him.
Edward and the others went to Lieutenant Colonel Hughes's house and rang the doorbell of Hughes's house.
Wow!
"Is it Daddy!?"
The door opened, and little Alicia Hughes opened it with joy. However, the person she was expecting would never return.
Frustrated, she returned to her mother's arms, and Alicia was much stronger and would no longer cry easily.
Glacia looked at the four Edwards and invited them into the house. Edward was a guest and could still live strong even if Gregia was not out of her grief now.
It's just that today the newspaper reported on the murderer of Lieutenant Colonel Hughes.
Glecia didn't tell Alicia about Lieutenant Rose, she still hasn't made Alicia accept that her father won't come back, and Glecia doesn't want Alicia to remember the enemy's face.
What's more, Gretia doesn't believe Ross is Hughes's killer.
After talking to Lieutenant Colonel Hughes at home with Grecia for a while, Edward introduced Ouyang to Glacia and learned something about Hughes's murder from Grecia. Although Glacia only knew the results of the official investigation, it also gave Edward a sense of something unusual.
Edward and Alphonse share Glalessa's view that Lieutenant Rose was not Hughes's murderer, and that someone had introduced a scapegoat to cover up the truth about Hughes's death.
