Chapter 115: Synthetic Beasts

Amestolis, the eastern capital.

This is a city that is part of the Eastern Command, and recently, the number of national alchemists in the Eastern Command has increased significantly as Mastan, who has been transferred from Central City, has led his subordinates into the Eastern Capital.

But in the past few days, a killer who specializes in hunting national alchemists has caused panic in the entire Eastern Territory, and at least five national alchemists have been poisoned and lost their lives.

"Mastan, this is already the fifth national alchemist to be killed, and that includes Brigadier General Gran, so as a friend, I advise you to be calm in the near future and add some guards."

Hughes, who came to the Eastern Command after receiving orders from the Gendarmerie Command, and Armstrong, known as the "big man", entered Mastan's office together to discuss with him how to deal with the murderer "Scar Man".

The Brigadier General Glen in Hughes's mouth is the iron-blooded alchemist Basque Glenn who conducted the national alchemist assessment for Jiang Mu a few days ago, and has died at the hands of Scar.

"That Scar seems to be targeting the national alchemists."

"Now the only national alchemists left in the Eastern Capital are you and another alchemist named 'Alchemist of Destiny', Xiu Taka, and your situation is very dangerous." Hughes, who was entangled in government affairs, had to come all the way to the Eastern Capital because of the affairs of the scarred people, and his words were full of helplessness.

"Even Brigadier General Gran was killed...... Dazuo, please be sure to strengthen security and security. Lisa looked serious.

"By the way, didn't that 'Ice Flame Alchemist' arrive in the Eastern Capital before a few of you, and I don't know where you are now?" It was a muscular man, Armstrong, with only a handful of curly blonde hair on his head, waving his arms to show off his blinding muscles.

"Who knows, that guy doesn't seem to have anything serious to do, he spends all day and night, maybe he has left the Eastern Capital by now."

Mastan supported his chin with his hands, because he had just entered the Eastern Command, he was busy with work, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Jiang Mu's whereabouts, to be honest, he basically had no contact with Jiang Mu except for a few meetings with Jiang Mu when he was in Central City.

At this time, Lisa flipped through the record book, found Jiang Mu's record and said: "Jiang Mu is still in the Eastern Capital, and some time ago he also asked me about the information of the 'Alchemist of the Broken Life' Xiu Taka, and it seems that he intends to conduct research on synthetic beasts. ”

"Xiu Taka is another national alchemist who lives in the Eastern Capital? It is said that he synthesized a talking synth two years ago......"

Hughes recalled the message given to him by the Gendarmerie Command, and that the man named Hugh Taka was also the person he needed to warn about his personal safety on this trip.

"Yes, Mr. Taka is good at synths."

"Then we need to find that Mr. Taka as soon as possible, and it would be better if we could meet Mr. Jiang Mu on the way."

When it comes to synths, both Hughes and Armstrong are very new.

This is a combat weapon that is also being studied within the military, and once the experiment is successful, the synthesizer can be used as a weapon of war, greatly enhancing the strength of the Amestorius army.

There are two types of national alchemists, one is the alchemists who specialize in combat like Mastan and Edward, and this kind of alchemists account for most of the national alchemists; The other is a talent like Shuu Taka who is engaged in theoretical research and technical research, this kind of alchemist mainly promotes the development of alchemy, but is not good at fighting.

Therefore, talents like Xiu Taka themselves need personnel to protect them.

"That's it, let's go to Mr. Taka's lab first, and if the Scar Man is not apprehended, we can't take it lightly." With all that was to be done, Hughes stood up and walked out of Mastan's office with Armstrong.

As soon as they left the door, Mastan shouted at them from behind, "Ah yes, Taka's laboratory is in a residential complex on the outskirts of the Eastern Capital, pay attention to safety." ”

"Don't worry!"

Raising his hand and waving his arm, Hughes's voice faded away in the hallway.

……

Eastern capital, suburbs.

Outside the old town, the warm spring breeze brings the breath of life, blowing the whole suburbs.

A neighbourhood of Victorian villas nestled next to each other, seemingly carefully planned.

At the door of the Alchemist's house, Jiang Mu put his hands in his pockets and stared at it with a deep expression.

"This is it." Whispering, Jiang Mu directly kicked open the door and walked in.

There is no shortage of dark tones in the world of steel, and in the original books, the "Alchemist of Death" Xiu Taka is a guy who is crazy about his reputation. Two years ago, in order to obtain the title of national alchemist, he did not hesitate to combine his wife and a fierce beast to refine a synthetic beast, and today, as the date of the national alchemist's review is approaching, he has hit his daughter Nina again.

Now the Edward brothers did not come to the Eastern Capital as in the original book because they had traveled to their hometown of Lysbur on the way to Riol.

Jiang Mu had learned about the original book, so he naturally knew about Xiu Taka and his daughter Nina, so he stayed in the Eastern Capital for a few days and completed his arrangement in the Eastern Capital, Jiang Mu came to Taka's house alone.

Kicking open the door of Taka's house, unlike the beautiful scenery outside, the whole room was gloomy, the windows and doors were closed, and the mild sunlight did not shine in, and the scene in the room was unpleasant.

Several rooms were searched, but no trace of the Taka father and daughter was found.

Finding the entrance to the underground laboratory, Jiang Mu found them in the laboratory.

Taka squatted on the floor in a dejected manner, his eyes a little distracted, his eyeballs bloodshot. Opposite him, lying on his stomach was a white figure, somewhat resembling a large canine creature, but on the top of his head, a tuft of brown hair.

At this moment, the canine creature was lying in the shadows, its eyes shining with a white ghostly light.

The canine synth, which Taka had synthesized from his daughter Nina and a family dog, had some human intelligence but could only speak some simple language.

"Are you still late?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, how could Jiang Mu not know what was happening in his heart?

"Now, what kind of person are you, it's not good to break into someone else's house casually."

Taka crouched on the ground and didn't lift his head.

A suppressed nameless anger flashed in his heart, Jiang Mu's brows tightened, his face was covered with frost, and his eyes looking at Xiu Taka were also full of murderous intent.

"Scum, it wasn't enough to refine a synthetic beast with your own wife two years ago, and now you use your own daughter to refine it, is the title of national alchemist so important to you?"

Taka was shocked, raised his head, his pale face became hideous, and said in a hoarse voice: "I just don't like smart people, isn't the progress of technology accompanied by countless sacrifices, these are the products of experiments, you are also an alchemist, it should be understandable......

As if moaning, as if justifying himself, Taka used strong emotions to vent the depression that had accumulated in his heart.

With that distorted and deranged face, it's like a devil.

Jiang Mu stared straight at him, and after a while, he said, "You're already crazy." ”
