Chapter 42: The Little Vortex That Begins to Grow
"Mr. Charlie, what kind of person is your disciple Yi Daoren?" On the train to Central City, I used to work with Zolf Brown. Von Hohenheim, whom J. Kimberley and Isaac McDogar met in the devil's lair in Dablis, asked the gray-haired old man sitting across from him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
That old man is the first person Yi Daoren came into contact with after coming to this world and the teacher who embarked on the path of an alchemist, and the true master of the title of Alchemist of Ashes, Charlie.
After being silent for a while, as if recalling the situation of knowing Yi Daoren, Charlie said, "Daoren...... A kind young man who is quite lively. I only met him when my grandson joined the organization and I found out. At that time, I wanted to catch my grandson and teach him a good lesson, but I didn't expect him to directly knock Yi Daoren unconscious who didn't know what to think on the street, so I had to give up looking for him first and take care of Daoren. ”
"Oh? Did your grandson join the anti-Amesteris group so early? ”
"yes, he was only nineteen years old at the time, and I thought he had been tricked into the organization. However, after I borrowed the identity of the national alchemist and the contacts I accumulated over the years as a lackey of the army after becoming a national alchemist, I went deep into the organization, and accidentally discovered that the secret deeds of those people in the army were even darker and more terrifying than I imagined! Especially after knowing the inside story of the war of annihilation in Ishbal! Gritting his teeth, Charlie hammered his legs angrily: "In a fit of rage, I threw away the pocket watch and documents representing my country's alchemist status at home, and fled alone. ”
"Then it happened that the Yidao people were forcibly recruited......"
"That's right! Those army brutes are rotten! Although there is no photo of me in the documents I left behind, my identity has long been filed with the army, and it is impossible for them not to know that the Taoist is not a national alchemist! Hammering his legs again, Charlie said hatefully: "I hurt the Taoist!" Although he is a little cautious, he is also a kind young man, otherwise I would not let him inherit my genre! ”
"......" was replaced by von Hohenheim's silence this time.
"What about Mr. Hohenheim? Why did you go to Central City? Von Hohenheim was silent, but Charlie's chatter was up.
And he also wondered why von Hohenheim had suddenly gone to Central City.
The current Central City is simply a tiger's den in Longtan for those who know the situation!
He was imprisoned because of his own affairs, and the organization had a task for him, so he had to go to Central City, so what about von Hohenheim?
Stiffened, von Hohenheim looked at the scenery speeding by outside the window, and sighed: "Among the people who participated in this national alchemist examination, there is my child. ”
"Your child?"
"Brother Elric, those two reckless imps...... Unexpectedly, after I left home for a few years, Theresa had already died, and those two imps had become their targets because of the refining of the human body. ”
"Sorry......" Looking at von Hohenheim, who had known him for a few days and had no expression on his face, he suddenly showed a lonely look, and Charlie knew that his question had stimulated von Hohenheim.
"You don't have to apologize......" Looking at the scenery flying outside the window, von Hohenheim's eyes looked a little misty, as if his thoughts had drifted to an unknown place: "Theresa......"
Seeing von Hohenheim's performance, Charlie was very interested in not asking anymore.
On the outskirts of the central city, in the area of Okaku, the Grand Presidential Palace.
......Kim Bradley, who was working on papers in his study, suddenly heard a knock on the door, followed by his wife's voice: "Honey, may I come in?" ”
"Come in!" After closing the document in hand and then stamping a new document, Kim Bradley looked at his wife who pushed the door in, carrying a food box in her hand, and smiled: "Aren't you resting so late?" ”
"Haven't you rested yet?" After smiling softly, Mrs. Bradley lifted the food box in her hand: "I have prepared a little supper for you." It's better to eat something if you're sleeping late every night these days. ”
"Thank you!" After thanking him, Kim Bradley got up to meet Mrs. Bradley, and after taking the food box, he led Mrs. Bradley to the side and sat down together: "You can eat a little too." ”
"No, I'm going to rest soon, and if I eat supper, I'm afraid I'll have to grow a few catties of meat by then." Women must know how to restrain their desires. Opening the food box, Mrs. Bradley took out the bread and coffee that were still hot inside, and said, "Eat it hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." ”
"I know." As a result, after eating the bread and coffee in a few bites, Kim Bradley smiled and said, "It's delicious!" ”
"It's delicious, but you don't have to ......be in such a hurry," Mrs. Bradley suddenly saw Kim Bradley looking at her with one eye, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" ”
"No, I was just wondering what the hell you're looking for me."
"Can't you be romantic!" After giving Kim Bradley a disgusted look, Mrs. Bradley said, "Then I'll be straight to the point...... Didn't you say you were going to adopt a child before? Is it negotiated now? ”
"Well...... a twinkle in his eyes, Kim Bradley smiled: "It's been negotiated, but Selim is only seven years old now, isn't it too hard for you to adopt him?" ”
"It's not hard, how can it be hard?" Hearing Kim Bradley say that the negotiations had been settled, Mrs. Bradley smiled and said, "As long as there is no problem with his family, I very much want him to come to me sooner!" ”
"There's no problem with his family because he doesn't have a family anymore and now it's someone else who takes care of him."
"Then let him join our family as soon as possible!"
After a few more moments, Mrs. Bradley, who had a very regular schedule, began to yawn, and was finally persuaded by Kim Bradley to leave the study.
Waiting for Mrs. Bradley to leave, Kim Bradley closed the door of the study, and then the smile on his face was all retracted, and he said lightly: "Pride, your affairs have been taken care of, right?" ”
"Isn't my business just to spy on you?" In the darkness of the study, Pride, who looked like a child of seven or eight years old, slowly walked out.
"Then next week, after the national alchemist examination, you will become my adopted son just like other great presidents in the past."
"No problem." After nodding faintly, Pride looked at the document on Kim Bradley's desk: "How's it going?" Did you deliberately leak some information to those two people? ”
"There haven't been any big fish caught yet, just a few small ones. However, some news came from the Eastern Military Department. Sitting down at the desk, Kim Bradley opened the document he had read again, stared coldly at it with one eye for a while, and then said coldly: "They seem to have some connection with the anti-system organization!" ”
"Is that Gulaman guy?" Pryde's gaze also turned cold: "He knows some things about the Undead Legion and us, and he won't cooperate with us. ”
Shaking his head slightly, Kim Bradley said: "I don't know if he meant it, but he is a very ambitious person, and he has been peeking at my position, but I'm afraid that even if it is not his intention, he will have something to do with him!" ”
Pride said coldly, "Do you want to inform Rust to deal with him?" ”
Kim Bradley shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, let's see after a while." Now the anti-establishment groups seem to be gathering in the east. ”
"Isn't that dangerous...... brows furrowed suddenly, Pride glanced at Kim Bradley, and said lightly, "You want to make them a prop with blood marks?" ”
"I do have that idea."
Yi Dao people, Yi Dao people are sorting out the books in the house, and putting them in the suitcase according to their names and contents.
After joining the research department of the Undead Legion, his immediate boss, Lieutenant General Raven, one of the leaders of the Undead Legion's project, gave him the first task to move!
The Undead Legion Project is Amestris's most secret plan, and no information can be revealed, so Lieutenant General Raven understands this approach.
Moreover, Yi Daoren knew that he was still part of one of their more important plans, and now that he was asked to move, he actually had the purpose of controlling him.
However, although he had to move to a place with tighter surveillance, the tension in Yi Dao's people was much lighter than before!
In the final analysis, it is still the reason why there is more and more darkness and less mystery in front of Yi Dao people.
Danger, although Yi Dao people are afraid, but compared to ignorance who doesn't know anything, he is more afraid or ignorant!
What is known, there is always a solution, and the unknown, the feeling of not knowing where to settle in the next moment, is really too scary!
"It's just a pity, this room is my bunker! Only here, can my Creation Refining cause a more terrifying effect than Destruction Refinement, and there are not enough Refining Formations in the city for the time being because I can't run around at will......
Just when Yi Daoren sorted out the books in his room one by one into the suitcase, the doorbell of his house suddenly rang.
"Ding Dong ~ Captain Yi! Are you at home? ”
The kind of boy's voice that is obviously still in the stage of voice change, there are only two people who know Yidao, Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric!
"By the way, I also have to help these two little ones deal with their physical problems. But I can't protect myself now, even if I want to help them, I don't have time......" After hesitating for a moment, Yi Daoren finally opened the door.
"You're really at home, Captain Yi...... Are you packing? Where are you going? Just as he was about to greet the Yi Dao people, Edward Elric suddenly found that there were several suitcases behind the Yi Dao people, and the room full of books and seemed to be messy had become clean and tidy!
"That's right. I'm moving because of the demands of my job. After getting out of the way and letting the Elric brothers into the house, Yi Daoren pointed to the sofa that was already full of books and only crowded for one person, and said, "Sit down first, I have something to talk to you about." ”
"What's the matter? Does it have anything to do with repairing our bodies? Since it was a question that was close to him, Edward Elric reacted immediately.
"Yes. I'm going to work in a place where I can't contact outsiders, and even if I want to, I can't help you. Sitting down across from the Elric brothers, Yi Daoren gave an answer that made the Ellik brothers look disappointed, and then said, "I think you can go to the Eastern Military Headquarters to find Mastan Zhongzuo, he may have someone there who can help you." ”
"Mastan Nakasa?" The look of disappointment on Edward Elric's face deepened: "Although I also know that Mastan Nakazo is a good alchemist, but unlike you, he has no way to solve our situation. ”
"Oh? Looks like you've turned to him too...... Also, he was the first to contact you. After nodding a little clearly, Yi Daoren said lightly: "But I can't risk violating the rules to help you, right?" You're not qualified to let me do that yet. ”
The Elric brothers fell silent.
Not long after, when he saw that the silent Yi Daoren of the Elric brothers got up and was about to continue to clean up, Edward Elric suddenly said: "Captain Yi, I don't need you to break the rules to help us, I just ask you to tell me now what you think about our situation?" ”
"The current opinion ......" After frowning and thinking for a while, Yi Dao said: "If you want to say your opinion, to be honest, I haven't had time to think about your affairs in the past two days, so I really don't have an opinion." However, there is one thing that I think should be a reminder to you. ”
Edward Elric, whose expression was becoming more and more disappointed, immediately became energetic: "What? ”
"It has nothing to do with you, mainly Alphonse." Turning his head to look at Alphonse Elric, Yi Daoren said in a deep voice: "Alphons, your current situation may be very dangerous! ”
"Very dangerous? What happened to Al? When Edward Elric heard the word danger, he immediately became excited.
"Human beings are composed of three parts: soul, flesh, and spirit, you know this, right?" After the Elric brothers nodded together, Yi Daoren continued: "The soul guides the flesh, and the flesh affects the soul, and the spirit is the link between the two. Now, although Alvons's soul is locked in this world by Edward, he doesn't know where and what the situation is now. ”
"Didn't you say that my body is now draining the nutrients and energy that my brother has obtained?" Alphonse Ellick asked.
"I just put forward this conjecture and didn't affirm it. And even if your body is draining your brother's nutrients and energy? If the flesh and spirit have been separated for a long time, there is a considerable chance that something will go wrong...... When your flesh and soul do not exist, it is time for you to die! ”
