Chapter 4: Bewitchment
"How will you be released, show your proof of release."
Colonel Mastan stood in front of Su Xiao, ready to fight at any time.
"Is it strange that I was released, and you don't have the authority to command me, don't forget that you and I are equals."
Su Xiao carried Azak's corpse forward, followed behind him with a straw cloth hanging from his head.
Ordinary national alchemists are at the rank of major, and the national alchemists who have participated in the 'War of Annihilation of Ishuval' are also at least colonel, but there are very few such alchemists.
Most of the alchemists who participated in the 'Battle of Annihilation of Ishvar' were sent to remote areas or sent to prison for various reasons.
There are very few alchemists like Roy Mastan who serve in Central City, and only Roy Mastan can do this when he searches the entire country.
This strange situation can be seen by others, let alone Roy Mastan himself, so the colonel is already preparing for a rebellion.
Roy Mastam was left in Central City because the villain in the bottle took a fancy to his talent.
This is not a good thing, the ultimate goal of the villain in the bottle is to refine the people of the whole country into the stone of the sage, and now the top of the military are the eagle dogs of the breed of villain.
To be precise, the country of Amestories was founded by the villain in the bottle, and this was originally a small country, and it was the villain in the bottle who developed it.
It is not easy to refine the entire country into the Philosopher's Stone, especially when all this is done in secret.
First of all, it is necessary to arrange the alchemy array that envelops the whole country, and after the alchemy array is successfully arranged, one person needs to be sacrificed to each of the five corners of the alchemy array.
These five people can't be chosen at will, first of all, these five people need to be powerful alchemists, and secondly, these five alchemists have carried out human body refining, and having carried out human body refining means that they have seen the door of truth.
These five sacrifices, as the villains in the bottle call them human pillars, are:
Edward Elric (Protagonist)
Alphonse Ellik (protagonist's younger brother)
Roy Mastan (Candidate Column)
Izmi Cadiz (protagonist master, female)
Von Holmhain (protagonist father)
I have to say that the protagonist Edward Elric is a little bitter, not to mention that he is a human pillar, his younger brother, father, and master were all chosen by the villain in the bottle to live as people.
Today, Colonel Roy Mastein lives as a candidate, so he was left in Central City.
Su Xiao's mission target is the villain in the bottle, and the power of the god (pseudo) is in the other party's body, but the strength of the villain in the bottle is very strong, and in the country of Amistolis, the ability of the villain in the bottle is almost incomprehensible.
In the original work, the villain in the bottle was defeated after being besieged by everyone, Su Xiao knew this, so he would not move the plot characters besieging the villain.
Not only that, but Su Xiao also had to weaken the power of the villain in the bottle.
There are two groups of forces under the command of the villain in the bottle, one is the six artificial people it created, originally there were seven people, but among them, greed has betrayed, because of the nature, greed cannot be loyal to anyone.
The second group is the top brass of the military, and in order to gain immortality, the top brass of the military has cooperated with the villain in the bottle and become its eagle dog.
Su Xiao's primary target is six androids, and those military eagle dogs are easy to solve, so there is no need to startle the snake for the time being.
If you want to deal with these androids, you need to blend into the opponent's camp first, and only by successfully infiltrating can it have a chance to find the whereabouts of the androids, otherwise it is looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, there is no need to infiltrate the enemy for the time being, and he knows the whereabouts of the two androids.
"Solve those two first, one of them is easy to solve, and the other is a bit troublesome."
Su Xiao walked down the street carrying a corpse, with a deep groan on his face.
The two androids he had to deal with weren't too strong, but one of them had a troublesome ability, and if he was hit by that ability, he would have to pay a terrible price even if he didn't die.
Taking out a map, Su Xiao walked around and came to a research institute according to the direction of the map.
The institute was nominally abandoned, but there was a guard guarding the door.
Su Xiao walked towards the main entrance of the research institute, and the guards stopped Su Xiao.
"Cipher."
"3T4M, fish, candy, lime."
Hearing this strange code, the guard nodded, he didn't know what was in the institute behind him, he just needed to let go of the person who said the code.
Walking into the courtyard of the institute, several adjacent buildings appear in front of you, which have been abandoned, and some of the windows are broken and no one has repaired them.
Walking into a building in the middle, Su Xiao went straight to the basement.
The basement of the entire research institute was opened up to form a large square, and in the center of the square was an open space, on which was a circular alchemy array, and in the center of the alchemy array stood a low wooden stake, on which the alchemy array was also engraved.
Walking towards the alchemy array, Su Xiao saw pools of black blood on the ground, which had existed for a long time and had long since dried up.
"Pretty punctual, have you been followed?"
Enwei walked out from behind a stone pillar, walked not far from Su Xiao, and sat on a wooden stake in the center of the alchemy array.
"Acceptance."
Su Xiao threw Aizak's body at Envi, who kicked the corpse and frowned when he found the wound on the corpse's chest and abdomen.
"It's ...... Cuts? ”
"Yes."
"You cut it?"
"No, when I saw him, he had this wound on his chest, it should have been cut by a teenager."
Of course, Su Xiao would not admit that he had beheaded him, he had sensed that there was no one else around him when he killed Aizak.
"Teenager?"
"A blonde teenager, about a teenager, about one meter six tall, with a mechanical prosthetic leg in his right hand."
"I see, that guy."
Enwei looked at Su Xiao, as if he was thinking about something.
"Are you interested in eternal life?"
Enwei spoke, and there was a demagogic hint in his words.
"Eternal life? A life form like you? ”
"Yes, it's not."
"Not interested."
After getting Su Xiao's answer, Enwei showed an expression that was really like this.
"As expected, let's change the trading chips, are you interested in getting more Philosopher's Stones?"
Su Xiao's eyes lit up, and there was a deliberate look of longing in his eyes.
"Of course I am."
"Very good, then we might as well cooperate and help us do things, and we will pay you the Philosopher's Stone."
"You guys?"
"Yes, we, our power is unimaginable, to be exact, you have been helping us before, whether it is war or excluding dissidents."
Su Xiao secretly said in his heart, the fox's tail finally leaked out, and Enwei released him from prison, probably trying to pull him into the gang.
"I want to see Kim Bradley, he's your leader."
"Hahaha, see what he does, if you are willing to help us do things, you can meet our real leader in the future, not yet."
Su Xiao pretended to groan, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, Enwei didn't speak, waiting for Su Xiao to make a decision.
