Chapter 109: Brother Edward
"Alchemist of Ice Flame!"
Lisa read the title on the document softly, glanced at Jiang Mu with admiration, and handed the document back.
"It's really amazing, to achieve the title of national alchemist so quickly, like that...... Dasa's reputation has been preserved. ”
"So that's what you care about......" Jiang Mu looked at her and smiled.
"Of course, as a recommender for the national alchemist assessment, Dazuo is of course under a certain amount of pressure."
Jiang Mu nodded, indicating understanding.
If he fails to pass the final examination, then Mastan's vision of people will be questioned and his reputation will suffer. This is something that Lisa, who is the adjutant of Dazuo, does not want to see, and it is no wonder that she will breathe a sigh of relief when she learns that Jiang Mu has successfully passed the assessment.
"Where are you going next? Do you want to sit in Dazuo for a while, after all, you were recommended by Dazuo, and now you have become a national alchemist, and in the eyes of outsiders, you are already in Dazuo's line. ”
Lisa smiled and extended an invitation to Jiang Mu.
In a country with a military power like Amesstolis, the brutal rules often lead to an overrun of military power, and intricate factions have arisen within the military due to various entanglements and frictions.
In order to be promoted, officials are trying to win over potential forces, although Mastan is still only a big Zuo now, and there are brigadier generals, major generals and other positions, but he can't stand up to his youth and ability! If you want to move up the ladder, you must have strong supporters around you.
It may be a bit serious to say that Hu is obedient, but this is the truth, which person in the upper position is not the star holding the moon?
As Mastan's adjutant, Lisa is quite dutiful.
Regarding Lisa's invitation, Jiang Mu did not refuse.
After all, the other party can be regarded as a favor for himself, and he can't leave as soon as he slaps his buttocks, which is too unreasonable.
Besides, Mastan, a young officer, is indeed worth befriending.
Jiang Mu smiled: "Then go over and sit down, it just so happens that I heard that Dazuo knows a pair of genius alchemists, and there is a chance to discuss with each other......"
"You're talking about the Elric brothers, they are indeed geniuses, and they became national alchemists at a young age. By the way, they're in Central City now, so you might be able to get to know them. ”
"Brother Elric is also in Central City?"
Lisa's words surprised Jiang Mu a little.
"Yes, because His Excellency the President gave Da Zuo a task, Da Zuo thought about it, so he asked the Elric brothers to come over and help."
Lisa sat in the cab and started the car as she spoke. Then he drove out of the compound in a puff of smoke, and circled along the perimeter of the government compound, heading towards Mastan's office.
Mastan and the President work in the same government building, but the government building in Amsteris is quite large because of the large number of systems it contains.
Although they are in the same building, the actual distance is not close, almost one is in the east and the other is in the west, and even the entrance and exit gates are different.
Jiang Mu sat in the back row, bowing his head and pondering.
"Brother Edward is actually in Central City, and he has accepted the commission of Mastan, is tonight the beginning of the plot?"
Looking sideways at the scene outside the car window, the corners of Jiang Mu's mouth slightly hooked a trace of arc. If that's the case, that's interesting.
After meeting Mastan, Lisa, and even the president, Jiang Mu knew that although the people in this world were different from the characters in the animation, they were not very different.
I don't know what the brother protagonist in the original book looks like, is Edward really the same as "Little Beanding"?
Jiang Mu was looking forward to meeting the Edward brothers in his heart.
The other side of the government office building.
In Mastan's office, the narrow desk was piled up with papers, and Mastan was exhausted and buried in these papers, eager to burn them all.
On the couch in front of him, a young man with blond hair in a red trench coat picked his nose and made a rustling sound of chewing biscuits in his mouth, causing squirming tendons to break out on Mastan's forehead, unable to settle down to handle his work.
"Steel, can you be quiet, you can't make me work in peace."
The boy known as "Steel" glanced at Mastan with disdain, still going his own way.
"It's not your fault, incompetent Dazuo, Alphonse and I have already bought train tickets to Riol, just because of your relationship, those two tickets have been wasted, and I haven't asked you to compensate me for my losses."
Snapping, with green tendons bulging on his forehead, Mastan pinched off the pen in his hand, and felt very angry about the careless attitude of the young man in front of him.
After calming down for a while, Mastan said: "Edward, there is no way, this is the task assigned by the president, I must complete it, and now there are not many strong national alchemists on my side, so I can only ask you to come and help." ”
"Yes, yes...... Who told me to know you, and I am stronger? ”
Edward echoed very casually, not forgetting to put gold on his face.
He asked, "You have to tell me what the president has given you." ”
"The mission is to capture an alchemist, known as the 'Alchemist of the Frozen Sea', called Aysaac McDugal, who once participated in the Ishvar War, but somehow betrayed the country soon after the war ended, in short, he is a very dangerous guy." ”
"Oh~" Edward was still absent-minded.
"If it's an alchemist, you don't need to make such a big fanfare, I think your strength alone is enough."
Mastan's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Edward, don't underestimate the other party, this Isaac is also a national alchemist, and has participated in the Ishvar War, and has a lot of experience in dealing with the enemy, according to intelligence, he is now lurking somewhere in Central City, intending to carry out some conspiracy, and he must not be taken lightly." ”
"Got it, got it." Edward replied casually.
"Brother, I think Dazuo's words are very reasonable, it's better to be careful."
A dull voice came from a tin man beside Edward, it was Edward's younger brother Alphonse, who had lost his body in his early years due to "human refining", and now his soul was imprisoned in a suit of armor.
"Don't worry, I see."
Knock knock on the door in the room.
Lisa led Jiang Mu into Mastan's office.
In addition to Mastan, there are two people in the office?
Jiang Mu didn't expect that he had mentioned the Edward brothers to Lisa just now, and he would see them in Mastan's office so soon.
Well, Edward's height is indeed a little short, and the whole person is not very plump, which is very worthy of the title of "Little Bean". Compared with the tall and burly "armored brother" beside him, he looked even shorter.
Seeing Jiang Mu and them coming in, Mastan nodded and said to Jiang Mu: "I'm back so soon, and the assessment of the national alchemist is still going well?" ”
"Dazuo, Mr. Jiang's assessment has gone very smoothly, and he has obtained the qualification of a national alchemist."
Lisa saluted.
"Well, congratulations here." Mastan was not surprised at all, and nodded at Jiang Mu.
Then he introduced to Jiang Mu: "Jiang Mu, these two in front of you are ......"
Jiang Mu smiled and waved his hand: "No need to introduce, I know them, 'Fullmetal Alchemist' Edward Elric and his younger brother Alphonse Elric!" ”
"Incompetent Dazuo, who is this person?"
A discordant voice rang out.
The green tendons on Mastan's forehead exploded again, and he looked at Brother Edward helplessly, and said: "Steel Lian, this person's name is Jiang Mu, and he is a person introduced by Lieutenant General Gulaman of the Eastern Command, and he can do the same as you without refining into a formation for refining ......."
Before Mastan's introduction was finished, after hearing that Jiang Mu didn't need to refine into a formation, Edward's face changed, and he rushed over and stared at Jiang Mu hard.
Only those who have entered the Gate of Truth can refine without the need for a refining array.
"Wait, you've seen the scene behind the door, too?" Edward asked excitedly.
"Yes, I did!" Edward's reaction was expected by Jiang Mu, and he readily admitted.
"And what did you see?"
"White, empty, with a huge metal gate in front of it...... "Roughly describing the space of truth, his words made the Edward brothers' breathing quicken.
"Yes, yes, it's exactly the same as I've seen before."
Recalling the nightmarish experience of a few years ago, Edward's heart could not be calmed down, and he asked, "You also broke the taboo, so what have you lost?" ”
After finishing speaking, Edward felt that he had asked a little abruptly, since the other party had violated the taboo, then there must be an indescribable past, and it was a bit reckless for him to ask such a question.
Because entering the door of truth, one needs to pay expensive tolls while gaining "knowledge of truth", and according to the principle of equivalent exchange, some organs in the body are often lost.
