In front of the fortress of Brickz, the two Elric brothers stood in the snowstorm, surrounded by several soldiers pointing guns at them.

"I'm a state alchemist, not a spy."

Edward explained again, sighing helplessly.

"Don't move, put your hands above your head."

A soldier pulls the trigger and is ready to shoot.

"Brother, what now."

Alphonse was not afraid of firearms, but he did not act rashly.

"Wait, their chief should be coming out soon."

The Ellik brothers were a little helpless, the soldiers in the north didn't give them a chance to explain at all, even if they took out the pocket watch of the national alchemist, it was useless, and without the approval of the central government, these people didn't believe their identities at all.

This situation is normal, and the 'Fortress of Brikz', as a frontier stronghold, has countless spies who try to infiltrate every year, pretending to be alchemists.

Olivia Mira stepped out of the fortress, and the female general stood tall, examining the two brothers.

"Who are you?"

Olivia Mira's tone was not very good, and she was in the same mood as she was now.

After verification, Olivia found that what the man said might be the truth, and if that was the case, the war was not far away, and she would not sit still.

Hearing Olivia's question from above the fortress, Edward looked up.

"I'm Edward Elric, the Alchemist of Fullmetal, and I was introduced to His Excellency by Major Armstrong of the Central, and I ask you to remove the guards."

Major Armstrong, as Edward called him, was Olivia Mira's younger brother.

"Search them."

Hearing that it was introduced by his younger brother, Olivia Mira was not polite.

"We're not bad guys."

"Who knows, anyone who pretends to be a celebrity will do, not to mention that a 'demon' has come to my territory recently, who knows if you are complicit."

"Demons?"

Edward Elric was a little confused.

After a search, a silver watch and a letter were handed to Olivia.

"This is a letter of introduction from the Major, which proves that we are not bad guys."

Olivia Mira looked at the envelope in her hand, and just by looking at the handwriting on the envelope, she knew that it was indeed written by her brother.

"Heh~, it's indeed that idiot."

As she spoke, Olivia Mira tore up the letter in her hand and didn't even read its contents.

"Hey, why don't you read on? It contains information about me and my brother. “

"Letters of introduction mean nothing to me, I don't need other people's evaluations, I judge people only by my own eyes."

As she spoke, Olivia Mira had tore the letter to shreds.

"Let them in."

The cold wind was howling, and the Ellik brothers, who were just about to enter the fortress, couldn't help but raise their heads, and they were immediately shocked by this magnificent fortress.

Hundreds of meters high steel walls, and there are traces of ice and snow on the walls.

"Awesome, so high~, so big!"

Hearing Edward Elric's shout, Olivia Mira's eyes drooped and her face was a little gloomy.

"Don't hurry up, scumbags, beware of me ripping the antenna off your heads."

The antenna in Olivia's mouth was a dull hair on Edward's head and a strand of hair on Alvons' armor.

"Yes!"

Edward felt the strength of the Queen of the North.

Inside the fortress, the Elric brothers were not freed, and they were greeted by a second round of 'torture'.

Olivia Mila sat across from the two brothers, with hot tea in front of them.

"Do you recognize the Flame Alchemist?"

Hearing Olivia's question, the two brothers were stunned.

Edward nodded and shook his head.

"I've only met once, that guy is a blast maniac, last time he blew up a lot of buildings in Central City, and I repaired it in the end, but I don't know why, he was wanted a few days ago on charges of killing important members of the military."

Listening to Edward's description, Olivia Mira bowed her head and groaned.

She received the same information as Edward, Su Xiao killed important members of the military and was eventually wanted.

If she remembered correctly, the so-called important person was just a colonel with no real power, and he had nothing to do with the Burst Alchemist.

The information provided by the military is full of suspicions, coupled with the many actions of Central City in recent years, Olivia Mira obviously feels that something is wrong.

"Let's not talk about that, I need you two to explain why you didn't come to me directly through the headquarters, as well as the secret of your brother's hollow armor."

The Elric brothers looked at each other.

"This~, if you know, you may go to a court-martial......"

Before Edward could finish his sentence, Olivia suddenly interrupted.

"Is it a sage and an artificial?"

Olivia only uttered two key words, she didn't mention the Philosopher's Stone and the Cyborg, so that she wouldn't leave a talking point.

"How do you know!"

Edward snorted and stood up.

"Looks like that guy wasn't lying, not good, very bad."

When the Elric brothers saw Olivia's reaction, they were a little stunned.

"Shortie, spit out everything you know right away!"

Olivia looked at Edward coldly.

"Who do you say is the dwarf!"

"It's you, the little man with the antenna, who gives you five minutes to make a statement, and by the way, the laws of Central City are invalid here."

A group of soldiers rushed into the room, dozens of guns pointed at the two brothers.

"You ......"

"Don't think I'm bluffing, this is the northwest, dead people are commonplace, even the national alchemist is the same, for the lives of tens of thousands of my subordinates, I can bear this responsibility."

"The lives of tens of thousands of subordinates?"

Edward was a little dazed, and he suddenly had a feeling that the female general in front of him might know more than he did.

After a moment's hesitation, Edward said everything he could.

Ten minutes later, Olivia looked at the ground beneath her feet, and the soldiers in the room retreated.

"What evidence is there that you are telling the truth."

Ellivia's questioning silenced the two brothers.

"Not for the time being, but the Philosopher's Stone and artificial humans do exist, I've seen it with my own eyes."

"I believe the Philosopher's Stone, because I have indeed seen it, as for the artificial man......"

Su Xiao once took out a small piece of the Sage's Stone and gave it to Olivia, which was smaller than a grain of rice.

Ovilla took out the Philosopher's Stone, and the two Elric brothers felt a little numb when they saw the Philosopher's Stone.

"You made this?"

Edward had already assumed a fighting stance.

"No, someone else gave it to me."

"Where's that guy?"

Edward's breathing was noticeably heavier, and he didn't know how many people would have to sacrifice to this small piece of philosopher's stone.

"You don't need to know, you just need to confirm now, is this the Philosopher's Stone, this thing is really that magical?"

"This is the Philosopher's Stone."

Receiving Edward's clear answer, Olivia took a deep breath.

"Demonstrate, let me see how it ignores equivalent exchange."

"Nope! I'm not going to use this thing, it's made of human materials, and I'm never going to use it. ”
