Chapter 14: Unfolding Darkness

"Sure enough......" Looking at the history of the development of the Amesteris country at hand, Yi Daoren's face became very difficult to look at: "This country was established for a certain purpose!" ”

From the founding of the Amesteris Kingdom to the determination of the current territory, the Yidao people compared the map and found that almost all the wars in the history of Amesteris were waged for the sake of the current circular territory!

"But there are a few events that are a little wrong, obviously there is no need to develop into bloodshed, and the events that obviously do not need to develop into bloody conflicts have developed into large-scale bloodshed under the death of people or other reasons......" Yi Daoren, who carefully looked at the history of the development of the country of Amestris, did not notice that behind him, Alex Louis Armstrong was looking at him with a frown.

"Obviously, it can be resolved peacefully, but in the end, the army intervened and it became more and more intense, could it be ......"

"Prayer Yi, this is the library, just take notes if you find something, don't make a sound, it will disturb others." When the Yi Dao people found something again, Alex Louis Armstrong's voice suddenly remembered, causing the Yi Dao people to tremble, and almost wanted to pull out the matching gun hidden in their arms.

A series of things discovered in the past two days have made Yi Dao people's spirits more and more tense, and their reactions have naturally become more and more excessive.

"It's Armstrong Shaozo...... Yi Daoren, who knew that he was a little more excited, immediately relaxed his facial muscles so that his expression would not look too stiff, and then turned around and smiled: "What?" Have you found everything you're looking for? ”

After quietly staring at Yi Daoren for a moment, Alex Louis Armstrong suddenly made a toned pose and smiled: "Of course! The efficiency of the Armstrong family from generation to generation is unquestionable! ”

"Really? It just so happens that I've already found everything I'm looking for. As he spoke, Yi Daoren pointed to a few books on the side, all of which were alchemy research books that had been made public by some alchemy schools.

However, although those alchemy schools have made these alchemy research books public, it is impossible for ordinary people to see these alchemy research books if they are not the identity of national alchemists or military personnel. Yi Daoren also borrowed it by relying on his status as a researcher and captain of the Third Research Institute.

"Then let's go through the borrowing procedures together." Smiling, Alex Louis Armstrong pointed to a small cart behind him, piled with a stack of books on everything from geography and military affairs to humanities.

"You've dabbled in a wide range of ......"

"If you look for information just for the sake of the purpose, you will find out the problem...... Ha ha! Just kidding! After laughing for a while, Alex Louis Armstrong said, "Let's go, it's getting dark, and people are going to get off work, so it's not good to delay people from work." ”

"Huh...... Is that. Wait for me for a moment, and I'll put the book back first. Smiling a little reluctantly, Yi Daoren looked at the history of the development of the Kingdom of Amestris, put it back on the shelf, and went to check it out with Alex Louis Armstrong with a few alchemy research books.

"Why do you suddenly look at the history of the kingdom of Amestris?"

At the entrance of the first branch of the National Central Library, when he was about to say goodbye to Alex Louis Armstrong and go home, Yi Daoren suddenly heard Alex Louis Armstrong's serious inquiry.

Blinking, Yi Daoren smiled and said: "Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall." Isn't knowing history and learning from history the best way to improve yourself? ”

After being slightly stunned, Alex Louis Armstrong nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "You are right, the purpose of understanding history is not to repeat the mistakes of the past!" It seems that my old man told me to read more history books for this purpose. ”

"Ling Zun is really visionary."

"Ahaha, thank you for your compliments on behalf of the old man! Well, goodbye! ”

"Goodbye."

After watching Alex Louis Armstrong walk away, Yi Daoren pursed his lips, then glanced at the towering Central Command not far away, and then turned to go home.

Back home, without any hesitation, Yi Daoren checked whether there was anyone watching his home, took a booklet and made notes in the guest room, recording all his thoughts and guesses today!

"The land is refined...... The purpose of the founding of Amestris ...... bloodshed from the army...... Well!? When recording the bloodshed brought by the army, Yi Daoren suddenly remembered the battle of annihilation of Ishubar, which he also participated in: "Unexpectedly, I have long been an insider!" ”

Gritting his teeth vigorously, Yi Daoren looked up at the map of the country of Amsteris hanging on the wall of the living room, then tore off a piece of paper from the booklet, drew a circle according to the map of the country of Amestris, and then marked the location of several large-scale bloodsheds that he knew.

"The Libby Incident at the time of the founding of the State in 1558...... Civil strife in Cameron in 1661...... The Sobman Affair of Fiske in 1799...... The Wildsley Affair of 1811...... In 1835, the first southern frontier battle took place in what is now the city of Minami-ku...... Tut! If only I had this kind of memory when I was studying...... "After recording the five locations, Yi Daoren frowned and looked at them carefully, and then drew a circle in the position representing Ishubal.

"Six locations...... frowned and thought for a while, Yi Daoren carefully studied the simple map for a while, and after making a gesture, he drew a few lines, and then his eyes froze, and he drew a few lines again: "This...... Really! ”

After Yi Daoren drew a few lines, a refining array composed of two pentagons appeared on the simple map!

"Brickz on the northern border...... Bendelton...... on the Western Border Southern Frontier Fortesset ...... Dongfang Leor ...... "Looking at the position of the node of the refining array he drawn, Yi Daoren's eyes became deep and deep: "I just don't know where it seems to be next...... If it was to kill someone to have some effect, it would not be Bendelton, where there are frequent clashes and dead people are the norm...... Brixz, Fortesette, Leol, choose one of the three......"

"The painting of the refining array must have a fixed route, representing the process of refining...... The position where Brikz and Leol are located obviously does not meet the requirements of the refining array painting......" After his fingers tapped twice irritably on the table, Yi Daoren suddenly made a cross in the position of Fortesette: "This position is very suitable for the next step of the refining array...... Ishbal then takes Fortset to the south, then Leol to the east, and finally Brikz! It's so easy to draw! ”

After staring at the refining array for a long time, Yi Daoren suddenly spit out a mouthful of turbid air and smiled bitterly: "But what is the purpose of this refining array?" ”

Knowing how to draw a formation doesn't do much, because that's just knowing the process. The most important thing in the refining array, that is, the result of refining, Yi Dao people still don't know what it is!

"What is the purpose of spending so much effort and laying out such a large refining array? An alchemist who can use such a wide range of alchemy, even if he claims to be a god, why waste this kind of ...... Wait a minute! Yi Daoren suddenly thought of his causal speculation about the founding of Ametrius: "On the other hand, this refining array is not used by 'gods', but to become 'gods' for the purpose of using this refining array...... Damn, is my brain too big or ...... But is it that the 'gods' want to use such a large-scale refining array? ”

Without paying attention, the Yi Dao people burst out the foul language they had used when they were on Earth.

"Da ......" his fingers kept knocking on the table, harder and harder, and faster and faster, Yi Daoren stripped out all the knowledge about alchemy in his mind, and then got up and flipped through the alchemy research book borrowed from the National Central Library.

But until the next morning, when the loud alarm clock came from the bedroom, and when Yi Daoren came back to his senses, he still didn't gain anything.

"There is still too little information...... "After hammering the table hatefully, Yi Daoren hastily cleaned up the alchemy research books on the table, then returned to the bedroom, turned off the alarm clock, opened the curtains, and pushed open the window.

Looking at the bright red Chaoyang through the window, he took a deep breath, let the fresh air in the morning fill his heart and lungs, eliminate some of the fatigue of sleepless all-night calculations, and by the way, after calming down his irritable heart, Yi Daoren closed his eyes and condensed his spiritual will and began to perceive the dragon veins of nature.

Unfortunately, as always, the distorted and oppressive aura always blocked his spiritual will from perceiving the crust of nature more deeply.

He didn't feel the dragon veins of nature, but Yi Daoren, who was disgusted by the distorted and suppressed breath, felt that he had suppressed it and when the irritability rose again soon after, a familiar voice came.

"Captain Yi!"

"Xiuzi Shaozuo......" Looking at Mas Xiuzi outside the courtyard wall, Yi Daoren frowned slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Wait a minute, I'll open the door immediately." ”

After entering the room, Mas Xiuz looked at the books on the guest table, which were still cluttered, and his eyes flashed behind his glasses, and he smiled: "You are really diligent." ”

"I can't compare to you, I actually came to work so early." After handing the brewed coffee to Mas Xiuz, Yi Daoren himself held a cup and teaed slowly, intending to borrow caffeine to refresh himself: "How is it?" Did Mastan Nakazo give you any news? ”

"He told me to keep an eye on the situation of Fortesette and Leor......" Speaking of this, Maas Xiuz paused for a moment, glanced at Yi Daoren, and found that after Yi Daoren's movement of drinking coffee was a little paused, his eyes behind his glasses flashed again: "It seems that you also seem to know the reason why he asked me to do this!" ”

"No, it seems that an alchemist who knows about the refining of the land and knows something about the development of the country of Amestris, especially the military aspect, will want to know if there will be problems in those two places!" After taking a sip of coffee, filling his mouth with the fragrant and bitter taste of unsweetened coffee, Yi Daoren swallowed it with a grunt, and then quietly watched Mas Xiuz.

"What's wrong?" Being quietly watched by Yi Daoren, Mas Xiuz became more and more uncomfortable, and then opened his hands to hug himself, leaned back on the sofa, and said nervously: "Don't look at me like this!" I already have Grecia and I don't have any special hobbies......"

Feeling the green tendons on his forehead suddenly jump, Yi Daoren resisted the urge to spill the coffee in his hand on Mas Xiuz, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I'm not interested in men!" Play this boring joke with me again, and be careful that I blast you out! ”

"Well, then I won't be worried, hehe......" Mas Huz laughed dryly.

"Tsk!" The tiredness of sleepless nights and the headache of inconclusive all-night calculations made Yi Daoren unconsciously smack his lips when facing this performance of Mas Xiuz, and then said angrily: "Say, what's the matter with me today?" ”

His expression became serious, and after Mas Xiuz sat up straight, he looked at Yi Daodao seriously: "Can you tell me what happened?" ”

"Didn't Mastan Nakazo tell you?" After raising his eyebrows in some surprise, Yi Dao had some thoughts in his heart, especially after thinking of the performance that Mas Xiuz often showed off his wife Graceia: "Xiuzi Shaozuo, if you like your current life, don't get involved too much for the time being...... Mastan Nakazo probably means the same thing, you just need to help him pay attention to the dynamics of the upper echelons of the military department. Those semi-public things are not in the way of being known. ”

The brows slowly twisted together, and after Mas Xiuzi and the other Yi Dao people finished speaking, he said lightly: "Do you think I can get out?" ”

"Impossible." Yi Daoren pouted.

"So why ......"

"It's just that you don't get involved too much, don't move too much. You should know this better than I do. After raising his hand to interrupt Mas Xiuz, Yi Daoren said lightly: "You are a good guy, if you accidentally die, Mastan Zhongzuo will be sad." ”

"If you know it, will your life be in danger?"

"Pretty much...... Perhaps, that's the layout of the 'gods'. Mortals, what are they going to do to fight the 'gods'? Leaning on the sofa a little weakly, Yi Daoren smiled bitterly: "You have a wife, and the family is happy, there is no need to get involved in too much of this." ”

Silence, Mas Schuz didn't know what to say.

He has only been through the war of annihilation of Ishubal for only half a year, and he likes his current life very much, full and warm.

However, Roy Mastan was his friend......

"Don't overthink it...... If nothing else, you won't be able to hide from this problem. Asking you not to get involved too much, just giving you a temporary vacation. Of course, Yi Daoren also guessed the inner thoughts of some affectionate Mas Xiuz: "As long as there is something wrong with Fortesette, even if you want to rest, it is impossible to accompany your beautiful lady well." ”

"Fortesseth......"

"Yes, Fortesset...... The next place that is most likely to go wrong is that place. ”
