In the nervous anticipation of all those who aspire to become national alchemists, the national alchemist examination has begun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In a café in front of CENTCOM, Charlie and von Hohenheim are sitting in window seats.

"It's so nostalgic...... Forty years ago, like them, I was looking forward to becoming a national alchemist. That way, fame, wealth, everything will be gained. However, now it seems...... Hey! As he spoke, a disdainful and cold smile appeared on the corner of Charlie's mouth: "Hohenheim, according to what you said, your child is only twelve and eleven years old now, right?" Could they become state alchemists? ”

"I don't know......" With a helpless wry smile and loss on his face, von Hohenheim said: "Their level, and how they have been doing all these years, I know nothing at all!" ”

"Your father is really derelict in his duties!" Charlie pursed his lips a little unnaturally, and then said: "But I heard Xiuzi Shaozo say that they have been approved by the president, as long as there are no problems in the written test and spiritual evaluation this time, then there should be no accident to become a national alchemist." Or rather, if they really are the big presidents their target. There are no more surprises! Unexpectedly, we ended up being a step too slow and didn't arrive before he entered the exam room. ”

"Even if we arrive before they enter the examination room, we can't stop him from taking the National Alchemist Exam, and it's not too late. It's just that Yi Daoren ......" shook his head slightly, and von Hohenheim said: "I didn't expect him to have been taken away." ”

With a long sigh, Charlie said, "Who would have thought that they would be in such a hurry? When we got the news that the Daoist had officially become a national alchemist, we rushed over directly, but we didn't want them to move so fast. Now you can only wait for your two children to come out. They are the last people to come into contact with the Taoists, and they may know something...... What's wrong? ”

As he spoke, Charlie suddenly saw that von Hohenheim had been staring in one direction, with a look of surprise and excitement on his face.

Turning his head, Charles saw a man in armor that had long been reduced to an ornament passing by the café, and when he saw them, he also stopped and looked at von Hohenheim in a daze.

"That...... This seems to be your child, Alphonse, right? Charlie suddenly remembered that Alphonse Elric's shape in the intelligence was not a piece of armor?

"It's all gone!"

Charlie could hear the "creaking" of the teeth clenched together in von Hohenheim's mouth as he said this!

As if coming to his senses, Alphonse Ellick rushed into the café and came to von Hohenheim: "Dad...... Father...... Is that you? ”

"I'd love to say you've grown up, but I can't say what you look like...... I'm sorry......" Getting up, von Hohenheim looked at the faintly revealing red light of the soul under Alvons Erlick's helmet that represented the soul locked on the helmet by the soul locking array, and barely pulled the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't pull out the arc, and he couldn't even make a wry smile.

After clenching his hands and making the steel armor make a piercing "crunch", Alphonse Elric said in a trembling voice, "Where have you gone?" Did you know that Mom is dead? Do you know that my brother and I are trying to resurrect my mother......"

"Is the human body refined? I shouldn't have kept the materials made of the human body at home. With a long sigh, von Hohenheim winked at Charlie and said to Alphonse Ellick, "Now let's go to the hotel where I am staying." There are some things that are not suitable for discussion here. ”

"Why? Are you afraid that others will know? Looking deeply at von Hohenheim, Alphonse Erlick found that there was no fear in von Hohenheim's eyes, only a complex feeling of supplication and sorrow: "Where? If it's too far, if my brother's assessment is over, I won't be able to pick him up. ”

Charlie interjected on the side, "It's not very far, the Hilton Hotel, it's right on Third Avenue." ”

After thinking for a moment, Alphonse Erlick continued to look at von Hohenheim and nodded slightly, "Okay." ”

When the national alchemist assessment was in full swing and Alphonse Erlick and von Hohenheim father and son met, Yi Daoren was standing in front of a row of biochemical cultivation warehouses with a frown, looking at the slender and thin person in the cultivation warehouse, but he felt like the human form of the dirtiest and disgusting thing in the world, and he himself was a little unrecognizable in the reflection of the cultivation warehouse.

On the cultivation warehouse, his face was a little thin, and there was a somewhat messy beard around his mouth, which was caused by his lack of time to clean up in the past few days.

A pair of eyes slightly squinted, indifferent, cold, like the eyes of a dead man, without any life, plus the same half-long hair that had no time to deal with and was casually combed into a large back......

"It's clear that you'll only be thirty years old in another year, but you look older than forty years old...... "After grinning slightly, Yi Daoren turned around and walked in the direction of the office.

The human forms in the creature warehouse he had observed before were the true faces of the undead legions, but now those human forms were not complete undead legions.

They were now just a pile of rotten flesh, empty of pale and thin bodies, but they lacked the soul that drove them, the twisted, crazy soul...... Philosopher's Stone!

If a living creature wants to act, it must have three elements: flesh, soul, and spirit. The soul is the guide, the flesh is the prop, and the spirit is the link that transmits the guiding information of the soul to the flesh and the skull as a prop.

Although the Yi Dao people don't want to admit it much, it is undeniable that the undead legion is already a living thing.

Artificial, twisted, creatures that act autonomously as long as they are infused with their souls!

"The slaughter of the Ishbals to refine the Stone of the Sage is for these things...... Hey! ”

The cold, slightly hoarse laughter made the laboratory even more eerie because of the rows of bio-warehouses that were being used to debug the undead legions.

When he came to the office, Yi Daoren did not greet other researchers, but just walked to his place and sat down, recording the information he observed.

However, he didn't want to say hello to the others, who wanted to talk to him, the alchemist of Doom who had suddenly been transferred here.

"Researcher Yi, I heard that you are an alchemist? It's been a few days since I was transferred here, so I wonder what you think about this place? What are the recommendations for our research? A blonde, blue-eyed, standard Amestrian-looking researcher came to the Yi Daoren's table with a cup of coffee.

"I am indeed an alchemist, but most of them are self-taught, and there are some differences between me and a real alchemist. As for what you think of this...... "Raising his eyes like dead people, he stared at the researcher for a moment, and when the researcher's hand holding the coffee began to tremble, he showed a smile that should have been very bright, but matched with his dead man-like eyes, and smiled: "It's terrible! It's more like hell than the religious people describe it! ”

"Ahaha...... Hehe...... Is it? With a forced smile, the researcher slowly stepped away and walked to his place.

Pouting with some disdain, Yi Daoren was about to focus his attention again, and when he recorded the observations, a familiar voice came: "Researcher Yi, there is something to trouble you." ”

"Captain Pace? How did you get here? Turning his head to look at Bruce Pace, Yi Daoren raised his eyebrows: "Doesn't the synthetic beast have any research value anymore?" ”

Cracking his mouth, a gold tooth radiating a somewhat dazzling metallic sheen in the light, Bruce Pace smiled, "I have already handed over the task of the Synthetic Beast Team to the director of the Third Research Institute. Genetic research, synthetic animal research, and biological refining are now the tasks of the Third Research Institute. ”

"Really?" Nodding slightly, Yi Daoren said again: "Then does Team Leader Pace have anything to do with me?" ”

"I'm no longer the team leader, I'm now one of the advisors to the Undead Legion Project." Slowly coming to the Yi Dao people, Bruce Pace looked deeply at the Yi Dao people for a moment, and said: "The people of the anti-system organization have come to Central City, and His Excellency the President wants you to deal with it." ”

"Me?" With a frown, Yi Daoren raised the pen in his hand and said, "Aren't I a researcher of the Immortal Legion Project now?" Why do you have to deal with those things? ”

"Who knows? The president must have a reason for doing this. After very irresponsiblely pushing the problem to Kim Bradley, Bruce Pace lowered his head again, leaned into Yi Daoren's ear and said, "I heard that the anti-system personnel who came to Central City this time are your acquaintances...... Charlie, yes, that man's name is Charlie, the real alchemist of the ashes! ”

"Smack!" The pen that usually does not break even if it is stepped on by the foot was suddenly cut off by Yi Daoren with one hand!

Looking at Bruce Pace coldly, a touch of cold anger appeared in Yi Daoren's eyes like a dead man: "How could that old man join the anti-system organization?" Although he evaded his responsibilities as an alchemist of the state, he was a man who was very fond of Amestris......"

"This question is up to you, a disciple, to ask. The Great President wants you to make the Alchemist of the Ashes change his ways and break away from the anti-system organization. Patting Yi Daoren on the shoulder, Bruce Pace stood up straight, put his hands behind his back and smiled: "I hope you won't disappoint the great president, and choose the Yi researcher who is destroyed." ”

After a moment of silence, Yi Daoren threw the broken pen into the trash can, got up and said, "Where should I go to find him?" ”

"Let's go to Third Avenue first, our people are already there."

Hilton Central, 3rd Avenue.

After leading Alphonse Ellick to the room he had booked, von Hohenheim was about to ask Alphonse Ellick how they were doing all these years, when Charlie on one side spoke first.

"It's a bit rude, but may I ask first?" Inserted between von Hohenheim and Alphonse Erlick, Charlie looked at Alphonse Erlick seriously: "Alphons, do you know where the Yidao people go?" ”

"Captain Yi?" After glancing at von Hohenheim and seeing that von Hohenheim did not make a special statement, Alphonse Ellick said: "I don't know, he only said that he was transferred to work in a secret place." ”

"Didn't he mention anything else?" Charlie continued to ask.

"No, he didn't say anything." Alphonse Ellick felt a little unpleasant.

Anyone who is suddenly pulled by someone to ask about another person will feel unpleasant.

"Sorry, rude." As if seeing Alphonse Elric's unpleasantness, Charlie took a few steps back, sighed, and said, "My name is Charlie, and my former title was the Alchemist of the Ashes. If you have contact with Taoists, you should know who I am, right? ”

"Charlie the Alchemist of the Ashes?! Are you Captain Yi's teacher? Alphonse Elric looked at Charlie in disbelief.

Patting Alphonse Erlick on the shoulder, von Hohenheim said, "Mr. Charlie is not lying, he is indeed the teacher of the Yi Dao people. By the way, the current Yidao people are very dangerous, so we came to Central City. ”

"Captain Yi is in danger? He just became a national alchemist, what is the danger? Alphonse Ellick felt like he was in a fog.

Charlie gritted his teeth and said: It is precisely because he has become a national alchemist that he is even more dangerous!"

Alphonse Elric was stunned, and was about to ask the reason when a dark shadow suddenly fell from the ceiling.

"Get out of here! The people of the Central Military Department are gathering here! The old and energetic voice was the old Hu of the new country: "I have already asked my disciple to pick up another little ghost, and now we must leave!" ”

The National Alchemist Examination Room, successfully passed the written exam, spiritual appraisal and alchemy application, and only needed to meet Kim Bradley again Edward Elric happily ran out of the Central Command, and was about to share the good news with his younger brother, when he suddenly found that Alphonse Elric was not waiting for him at the agreed place, and couldn't help scratching his head: "Where did that guy Allik go?" Didn't you say that you would celebrate together after the exam? ”

"Is it Lord Edward Elric?" Suddenly, a young man's voice came.

Turning to look, Edward Elric saw a very serious young man in a suit watching him from a distance, holding the suitcase he had given to his brother Alphonse Elric.

"My name is Yao Rong, and I am here to invite you, and your brother has already passed first."

Frowning and coming to Yao Rong's side, Edward Elric looked at Yao Rong for a moment, snatched the suitcase, looked at it slightly, and found that the alchemy set up had not been destroyed, and said lightly: "Lead the way." ”
