"Is the land of Amestris? Mas doesn't understand, as an alchemist, I do? Looking at the telegram in his hand, Roy Mastan, who was serving in the Eastern Command, frowned, and looked up at the map of Amestlis hanging on the wall of the office: "Round? Round...... Round! ”

Looking at the telegram and then at the map on the wall, Roy Mastan's eyes widened, and he muttered the same words that the Yi Dao people had thought of when they first thought of the land: "This...... How can it be?! Who can do this kind of refining?! God?! ”

"God? As an alchemist, do you believe in God? A cold, pleasant voice rang out, and the shock in Roy Mastan's heart was dispelled somewhat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Lisa ......" looked at Lisa Hawk Ai, who had a cold expression and a beautiful face, and Roy Mastan hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "If someone can really do the land refining, then there is no problem in calling him a god!" ”

"Land refining?" Lisa Hawk was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

Lisa Hawk is not an alchemist, but her father is an alchemist, and he is also a powerful and accomplished alchemist, but for some reason he did not qualify as a national alchemist, and he is also Roy Mastan's teacher. Therefore, she herself also has a good understanding of alchemy.

Now that she heard Roy Mastan talk about the Formation of the Homeland, and then looked at the map on the side wall, her expression became solemn: "Who did you get this news from?" Is it accurate? ”

"The news was sent by Maas, and it is said that it was discovered by the Yi Dao people. I just don't know if it's really ......" Shaking his head, Roy Mastan smiled bitterly, his face turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Lisa, you help me make an appointment with Lieutenant General Gulaman, I want to ask him about something!" ”

"Okay."

"Wait...... Wait for me to do some preparations! ”

The next day, Eastern Command.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk...... Lieutenant General Gulaman, Lieutenant Mastan and Lieutenant Hokai came. ”

"Come in" Lieutenant General Gulaman, whose hair was mottled and gray, and whose forehead to the center of his head had fallen out, raised his gaze from the papers on the table and looked at the two men who had pushed the door in, tall and outstanding.

"Oops~ Roy, are you finally coming to me to propose marriage and marry my granddaughter? But I won't agree, you haven't done what I wanted! Lisa, don't you say? ”

"Lieutenant General Gulaman, please don't call me by name in the workplace." Lisa Hawkay glared at Lieutenant General Gulaman.

"Oops~ My granddaughter is so cute......" Lieutenant General Gulaman scratched his face, but when he saw Lisa Hawk Ai glaring at him again, he immediately stopped the words in his mouth and looked at Roy Mastan: "Is there something wrong?" Roy. ”

Roy Mastan didn't answer right away, but turned his head to look at Lisa Hawke.

Nodding very tacitly, Lisa Hawk said, "I'll wait outside." ”

After giving a military salute to Lieutenant General Gullaman, Lisa Hockay turned and left the room.

The performance of Lisa Hawk Ai and Roy Mastan made Lieutenant General Gullaman's eyes narrow slightly, and he seemed full of determination, and after Lisa Hawk Ai left the room, he said lightly: "Can you talk to me now?" Mastan Nakazo. ”

From affectionately shouting his name to his surname and military rank, Lieutenant General Gulaman also became serious.

"Lieutenant General Gulaman, I want you one thing first......" Looking at Lieutenant General Gulaman seriously, Roy Mastein said in a deep voice: "Why did you become the supreme commander of the Eastern Military Department?" ”

Silence, deathly silence.

"Mastan Zhongzuo, there are some questions that you can't ask." The old, slightly hoarse voice broke the silence, but brought an atmosphere more oppressive than silence.

However, Roy Mastan did not care about this oppressive atmosphere, or this oppressive atmosphere could not suppress the doubts and fears in his heart at all......

"Is it because you are not used to some of the behaviors of the Central Military Department......"

"Mastan Nakasa!" A cold voice interrupted Roy Mastamin, and Lieutenant General Gulaman slowly stood up, his old figure as if turning into a mountain to block out the light that came in through the window behind him: "Do you know what the consequences of what you say will bring you? ”

"Of course I know, but ......" Roy Mastan put his hand in his arms, took out a thick document bag and placed it on Lieutenant General Gulaman's desk, "Take a look! ”

After quietly looking at Roy Mastan's serious and resolute eyes for a moment, Lieutenant General Gulaman opened the file bag.

"The Libby El Incident...... Cameron's civil unrest...... Sobman Affair...... What are you showing me this? Give me a history lesson again? After a few glances, Lieutenant General Gulaman lifted his gaze from the document.

Whether it is the Libiel Incident, the Cameron Civil Strife, or the Sobman Incident, it is the bloodshed that occurred in the history of Amesteris to expand the territory.

"Read on!" Roy Mastan didn't explain much, just looked at Lieutenant General Cameron with sincere eyes.

Raising an eyebrow, Lieutenant General Cameron glanced at Roy Mastan and then continued to look at the document: "The Wildsley incident...... First Southern Frontier Battle...... Bendelton Border Conflict...... Ishbal Annihilation ...... Tut! Well? Fortesset ...... Leol ...... Brickz? ”

After a pause, Gulaman looked up at Roy Mastam, the last document in his hand only had the names of a few Amestris, and did not contain any content: "What does this mean?" ”

"I also want to know what this means, or rather, I want to know what will happen next in these three places, Fortesset, Leor, and Briquez!" Taking out a piece of white paper with a simple map of the country of Amsteris and putting it on the table, Roy Mastan smiled bitterly and drew a few random strokes on the simple map with his pen, and then a refining array appeared: "Lieutenant General Gulaman, what is wrong with our country?" ”

"This ......" Looking at the refining array on the simple map, the pupils in Lieutenant General Gulaman's eyes shrank for a moment, then his brows furrowed, and after staring at Roy Mastan sharply for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you are not wrong?" ”

"I'm not sure, but there shouldn't be much wrong with this way of drawing......"

"This is the refining array of the Philosopher's Stone!"

Before Roy Mastan could finish his explanation, Lieutenant General Gulaman interrupted him and said an answer that made Roy Mastan freeze, as if he had suddenly been frozen by the polar wind!

"You...... What do you say? Coming back to his senses, Roy Mastan stared at Lieutenant General Gulaman with round eyes in disbelief, wanting to confirm whether he had a problem with his ears and had auditory hallucinations just now!

"This is the refining array of the Philosopher's Stone, which I saw when I was in Central City." After a faint answer to Roy Mastan, Lieutenant General Gulaman sat down and flipped through the documents that he had only briefly read before.

Only this time, he read it word by word very seriously.

"The Philosopher's Stone Formation Array...... The kind of philosopher's stone made with human life? ”

"Looks like you know a lot. It stands to reason that a pawn like you can't know...... Ishbal? Lieutenant General Gulaman, who was carefully flipping through the information and comparing the map of Amestris, looked colder and colder: "Those guys are really getting more and more crazy!" ”

"Lieutenant General Gullaman ......"

After raising his hand and signaling Roy Mastan to listen to him first, Lieutenant General Gulaman said in a deep voice: "Mastan Zhongzuo, I want you to closely observe the situation in the two places of Fortesette and Leor, can you do it?" ”

Don't need to pay attention to Brikz?

After staring deeply at Lieutenant General Gulaman for a moment, Roy Mastan and Adachi gave a military salute: "Yes, Lieutenant General Gulaman!" ”

After seeing Roy Mastan's performance, a smile appeared on Lieutenant General Gulaman's gloomy old face: "Again, I hope my granddaughter is the wife of the president, do you understand?" ”

"Yes! I understand! Lieutenant General Gulaman! ”

Only those who are ambitious and capable can become great presidents.

At the same time, a dead man will not become a great president!

On the streets of Chuo City, after finishing the work of the Third Research Institute, I felt that it was still early, and I decided to go to the first branch of the National Central Library to read a book. The materials in it can only be read by national alchemists and officers above the rank of non-commissioned officer, and some even require the permission of the brigadier general!

But as he walked, Yi Daoren suddenly found a familiar figure.

Tall and strong, even when he was wrapped in a military uniform, you could see how the muscles in his body swelled. On the almost bare head, there is a tuft of golden hair that grows bend and grow, and there is a beard of the same color above the lips...... Alex Louis Armstrong, the only male of the Armstrong family.

"Prayer is easy!" When the people of Yidao saw Alex Louis Armstrong, Alex Louis Armstrong also saw the people of Yidao.

A bright smile appeared on his face, and as he walked towards Yi Daoren, Alex Louis Armstrong said, "Long time no see, Prayer Yi." I heard that you work at the Third Research Institute, is it true? ”

Glancing at the military badge on Alex Louis Armstrong's shoulder, Yi Daoren pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, I am currently in the Third Research Institute. Long time no see, Armstrong Shaozo. ”

The relationship between the Yi Dao and Alex Louis Armstrong is not good, but it is not bad either, because Alex Louis Armstrong is also one of the few people on the battlefield of Ishbal who does not say anything about his identity.

It's just a pity that Alex Louis Armstrong is a deserter, which makes the Yidao people a little unaccustomed. What made him even more unaccustomed was that Alex Louis Armstrong was now a young man!

Although Alex Louis Armstrong was a national alchemist, he was also a descendant of the military family of the Ametrian kingdom of Armstrong.

But when he remembered that a deserter was already a Shaozuo, and his combat exploits were only a captain, Yi Daoren felt that his jealousy came out irrepressibly.

Of course, the Yidao people would not say anything to Alex Louis Armstrong as a deserter...... Alex Louis Armstrong became a deserter because he was tired of the massacres of the Amesteris soldiers in Ishbal.

A person who has a conscience, but whose position is difficult to stand firm.

This is the judgment of Alex Louis Armstrong by the people of Yidao. So his view of Alex Louis Armstrong is that he can make friends, but not deeply.

Friends with people who have a conscience but can't stand their own ground will always have all kinds of troubles.

Yi Dao people don't like trouble, especially the trouble brought to him by others, in his words: "I live according to my will, my own willfulness is enough trouble, do you still have to wipe your ass for others?" ”

Coming to Yi Daoren's side, Alex Louis Armstrong looked at Yi Daoren and said with a smile: "I heard that you were seriously injured in order to save the Lockbell couple, and you are still not well, do you want to exercise with me?" ”

As he spoke, Alex Louis Armstrong suddenly pulled his military uniform, took off his military uniform in the shape of a windbreaker, and put on a fitness pose: "See?" This is the perfect muscle! ”

"Put your clothes on, I don't want to be mistaken for a special hobby or a perverted kind!" Feeling that the people on the street were pointing at Alex Louis Armstrong's actions, he covered his face with his hands and sighed speechlessly.

Alex Louis Armstrong had a very special hobby, which was to take off his shirt and show off his muscles on any occasion.

"You really don't know how to appreciate ......"

"I don't think I need to appreciate it!"

After Alex Louis Armstrong put on his clothes, Yi Daoren wondered, "What are you doing here?" Duty? ”

"I'm not on duty, I'm going to go to the National Central Library to look for materials." Shrugging his shoulders, Alex Louis Armstrong smiled and said, "I don't know what crazy my old man is, he actually asked me to read the history of the country's development, saying that he wanted me to study more." Really, I've almost forgotten all of those things, so I can only go to the library to see them. ”

"The history of the country?" Yi Daoren's eyebrows raised.

"Yes! From the founding of Amestris to the present development. ”

"Starting from the founding of the country......" Yi Daoren's brows furrowed.

After discovering that the land was refined a few days ago, he had been thinking about what the upper echelons of this country wanted to refine with this country. But when he heard Alex Louis Armstrong's words, he suddenly thought of another thing, or a causal relationship......

What do the upper echelons of the country want to do with this country? Or is it that this country was built for some purpose!

"What's wrong?" Seeing Yi Daoren's behavior like this, Alex Louis Armstrong wondered: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"No, it just came to mind something." Shaking his head, Yi Daoren smiled reluctantly and said, "It just so happens that I'm going to the library too, let's go together." ”
