With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Hong slowly followed Andrew, and neither of them spoke. Liu Hong didn't want to say it, and Andrew had nothing to say and didn't dare to say it.

After walking for about ten minutes with Andrew, Liu Hong saw the dilapidated house not far away with the lights on, but they were not on, and it seemed to be an oil lamp! There was a person standing at the door waiting, but because of the light on his back and the fact that Liu Hong could only see red, he couldn't see what that person looked like at all, so he could only look at his clothes and vaguely recognize it as a woman.

"It's here!" Andrew stopped, pointed to the house that Liu Hong noticed, and said, "Look, that's Ms. Stoker!" ”

"Trouble!" Thanking Andrew, Liu Hong walked past Andrew and walked towards the woman, and at the same time said in a loud voice: "But Ms. Stoker? Salute to Solis! ”

Nodding slightly, Stoke smiled when Liu Hong approached, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Black!" Mike Dugar has already told me about you! ”

Stoke looked to be about forty or fifty years old, and although he was not as bloated and fat as the average elderly Amestrisian woman, his face was already a little old!

With a smile on her face, she gives people a sense of kindness, but if you look closely at her eyes, you will find that there is more shrewdness in her eyes than kindness!

Eyebrows raised slightly, Liu Hong hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. McDugal has a lot of channels!" But why didn't he tell me where you are? That will save me trouble! ”

"I don't know about that! But I think he probably wants you to enjoy the scenery of the Eastern Capital more! The kind smile on Stoker's face was even more pronounced. Turning sideways, Stoke led with his hand and said, "Come in!" Evenings are not the time to chat outside! ”

"Admiring the Eastern Capital?" Liu Hong chuckled lightly and stopped making a sound.

As Stoke entered the house, Liu Hong just glanced at it and took in the inside of the house. The space in the house is not large, about fifty or sixty square meters, plus the tables, chairs, beds and bookshelves, there is very little space for settling!

"The humble house is shabby, and there is really nothing to entertain, sorry!" Pointing to the chair placed in front of the desk by the window, motioning for Liu Hong to sit down, and then bringing a cup of hot water to Liu Hong, Stocker smiled and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Black is doing when he comes to me?" ”

"I can't say what's going on" Liu Hong looked at the books on the bookshelf on the desk, the corners of his mouth curled, and said with a smile: "I'm just on a study tour, and after I arrived here, I heard Mr. Michael Dugar say that there is a Stella here, so I hope to have a good discussion with that Stella, that is, Ms. Stoke, about the knowledge of alchemy." ”

The books on the desk don't have names, they may just be Stoker's notes, but the books on the shelves are all about alchemy! Especially the knowledge of the Philosopher's Stone! Liu Hong has seen several copies!

It seems that there will be some unexpected gains this time! Liu Hong felt a little excited in his heart!

"Talk to me? Mr. Black, no kidding! Stoke laughed and said modestly, "I'm not a national alchemist!" Where is the right to instruct a titled alchemist like Mr. ”

It seems that this Stoke learned a lot from Isaac! His brows furrowed slightly, but Liu Hong immediately let go and smiled: "Ms. Stoke said that she was laughing!" How could I be an alchemist with a title? It's just a bum! ”

"That's it! Am I mistaken? Sorry, sorry! Stoker's expression became a little embarrassed, but Liu Hong's eyesight couldn't see that Stoker's embarrassment was just pretending! There was only a smile in his eyes!

Old fox! But what does the old fox want to do? If you know my identity, you either don't mention it, or you just expose it! Now what's being played? Liu Hong's heart turned thousands of thoughts for a while!

"I wonder what Your Excellency is studying? Need to get your Excellency running around looking for someone to discuss? Before Liu Hong could come out of his thoughts, Stoke spoke again, still smiling and in that gentle tone: "I'm just an old woman hiding in the countryside studying old antiques, I hope I won't disappoint Your Excellency!" ”

That doesn't seem like a good thing! As soon as Liu Hong heard Stoker's words, he had a trace of understanding in his heart. Stoke probably didn't want to talk to him more! But why?

"Ms. Stoke laughed!" Even if Stoke didn't want to say anything to Liu Hong, what could Liu Hong do, could he go back? Isn't that a joke? Besides, since Stoke agreed to Liu Hong coming to her, he wouldn't really say nothing!

Then Liu Hong talked with Stoke about the research of the Sage's Stone, as well as the refining of the human body!

As Stella is in charge, Stoker's attainments in alchemy are very profound! Although Liu Hong directly read Hohenheim's research materials after coming to this world, and later went to the two branches of the National Library to study, if you really want to talk about it, Liu Hong's achievements in alchemy will be useful! There is no comparison with an alchemist like Stoker, who has accumulated over many years! Maybe there is not much problem in terms of knowledge, and even if you fight with alchemy, Stoke will not be Liu Hong's opponent, but once it comes to research, Liu Hong can only listen to what Stoke is saying and occasionally mention his own opinions!

After talking for about three hours, Stoke suddenly reached out to cover his mouth, yawned, and then smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry! Mr. Black! ”

"Where!" Liu Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's me who is too annoying to the lady!" Since the lady is tired, then I will go back first! ”

"I'm sorry about that!" Stoke smiled again and apologized.

"Where, where! Then I'll come back tomorrow. Liu Hong stood up, bowed slightly to Stoker, then pursed his lips and smiled, then opened the door and left.

With a satisfied smile, after Liu Hong walked a distance in the slum, Liu Hong suddenly stopped: "Uh, I haven't booked a house yet, right?" Forget it, it's a big deal to go to that bar and rest for the night! ”

Liu Hong, who had made up his mind, discerned the direction, and then walked towards the bar where he stayed during the day: "I hope it's not closed!" Otherwise, you'll be sleeping on the streets! ”

But thinking that it was only about ten o'clock now, Liu Hong put a bright smile on the corner of his mouth and hummed a little song.

In the small talk with Stoker, Liu Hong gained a lot! Especially the knowledge of the Philosopher's Stone! Although Liu Hong will refine the Sage's Stone, and the pictures, words and drawing methods on the Sage's Stone Refining Array are clear, Liu Hong has not actually practiced it!

It's the same with Stella, she didn't actually refine the Philosopher's Stone, and even the refining method of the Philosopher's Stone was only known after she became Stella! But with her knowledge and experience, as well as her interactions on the side of Xeluxes, she had already analyzed the reason why the Philosopher's Stone would be refined! What she talked about with Liu Hong is this knowledge!

This made Liu Hong very happy! Because the knowledge involved in this is the knowledge of the soul, the knowledge that Liu Hong wants to get the most!

When he arrived at the bar in the Eastern Capital, Liu Hong took a look at the name of the bar, and he hadn't paid attention to the name of the bar before.

Night.

Very simple and with a very meaningful name!

Pushing open the door, the oncoming heavy smell of alcohol and the noisy carnival made Liu Hongzhi frown. He didn't like this kind of environment, the noisy environment was not suitable for him to think about problems, and the smell of alcohol was so strong!

Walking through the crowd and walking to the bar, Liu Hong greeted Lilicia with a smile: "Hello, Lilicia, remember me?" ”

"I don't know!" Answering crisply, with a very friendly but very professional smile on her face, Lilicia smiled and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the sir?" ”

"Don't do that! We've only seen it during the day! Liu Hong shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Even if you make some jokes that you don't like, don't pretend not to know it!" I'm going to be sad! ”

"Young man, you wouldn't be courting Lilicia, would you?" Suddenly, before Lilicia could speak, a strong man put his arm around Liu Hong's shoulders and said with a smile: "Then you have to be careful!" Black roses are very prickly! ”

After the man finished speaking, he grunted and drank the beer in his hand.

Liu Hong's brows furrowed. He doesn't like people being so close to him, especially a man! A man who smells of alcohol! Isn't it disgusting? He's not picking up soap!

"Bob, if you don't want cockroaches in your wine, just keep your mouth shut!" Lilicia's willow eyebrows were raised, and with her heroic face, a kind of evil aura came to her face in an instant.

Liu Hong poked the wrist of the man named Bob with his fingers, and as soon as he sank his shoulders, he got out of his bear hug, and then said to Lilicia with a smile: "Okay, I don't care about your nonsense, I don't know if you can tell me where the nearest hotel is?" ”

glared at Liu Hong, but since Liu Hong said that he was going to the hotel, Lilicia didn't want to make any more trouble, so she frowned and thought for a while: "You go to the right after you get out of the bar, and then turn left on the fourth street corner, there is one there!" ”

"Thank you so much!" When it came to thank him, Liu Hong didn't care about Bob who looked at his hand strangely, and walked straight to the hotel that Lilicia said.

After booking a room for a week for a few pioneers, Liu Hong asked the innkeeper for a notebook and a pen and went to his room to write down the content of the conversation with Stoke and some of his own ideas.

After the notes were made, Liu Hong flipped through them, and then began to think about them with his face on his back. He suddenly has a lot of ideas now, but he has no clue about the implementation!

PS: 1. Thank you very much for the reward from Beijing Carnegie book friends, but Your Excellency seems to have been cheated by the starting point! I wanted to talk about it a few days ago when I rewarded three times at the same time.,But every time I upload a novel, I forget to write this first before I start writing this time.。

2. The clothes in the lower Hanfu have arrived, and I am ecstatic! It just so happens that the novel below doesn't have a cover yet, do you want to take a picture of yourself and make a cover? It's also a handsome little brother below! But will this make the novel that was already hitting the street completely unreadable?
