"Nervous?" A young female soldier who took Liu Hong to the president's office smiled and said to Liu Hong: "Don't be so nervous! In fact, although the president looks more stern, he is still a good person to get along with! ”

Liu Hong smiled at the female soldier, but did not answer.

Nervous? No! So why did Liu Hong always look a little stiff after entering the Central Command?

As the governing building of the highest government in Ametris, the Central Command can be said to be very magnificent! Needless to say, Liu Hong has not only stood guard in the open along the way, but also felt a lot of eyes in the dark! It's not hostile, but it's not comfortable! But that's not the point! The key is the chill that Liu Hong felt after stepping here! This is the main reason why Liu Hong has been a little nervous since he came here!

The breath of the Philosopher's Stone! That is the main reason why Liu Hong feels chilled! Maybe it's because I'm not from this world! Liu Hong's sense of the Sage's Stone is more acute than that of other people who know alchemy!

Walking through several corridors, the female soldier took Liu Hong to stop in front of a door, and then knocked on the door.

"Please come in!" A sonorous and powerful voice came from inside the door, and even the kind of door with good soundproofing effect of the military department did not affect the spread of that sound at all!

"Your Excellency, I have already brought the person you want to meet!" After pushing the door open, the female soldier did not go in, but after saluting at the door, she got out of the way, led her hand with her hand, and motioned for Liu Hong to go in.

Nodding slightly, Liu Hong walked five meters behind the man in military uniform who was standing in front of the window with his back to him and watching the scenery, and then stopped in the guarded eyes of the soldiers on the side: "Strangers salute you, Your Excellency the President." ”

Turning around, Kim Bradley squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Hong with a serious and indifferent expression, and after a while, he spoke: "I haven't seen many strangers in you!" ”

Silent staring. Liu Hong didn't know what to say for a while! So simply don't speak. And Kim Bradley is needless to say, just off the horse.

"Hahaha!" Suddenly, Kim Bradley burst out laughing, "I'm so sorry, I just want to see what the real new countrymen look like, but it seems that your Excellency is not much different from us Ametrisians!" ”

"Two eyes and one mouth, how much difference will there be between people?" Liu Hong also replied to Kim Bradley with a smile, completely silent as before.

"Hmmm! Yes, plus two ears and a nose, this makes up a human face! Kim Bradley smiled and took three steps forward and stopped two meters in front of Liu Hong: "Then Your Excellency only has one last exam left!" ”

Pointing to the ground, which was completely devoid of anything, Kim Bradley said, "Let's do it!" That's one of the most basic and important skills of a national alchemist! ”

The distance of two meters is the limit that Liu Hong can tolerate! A little closer, Liu Hong is not sure if he will break out! But Kim Bradley stopped two meters in front of Liu Hong! It can be seen that he has completely noticed some of Liu Hong's subtle expressions! Whether the smile at the corner of his mouth decreased a little, or whether his fingers accidentally curled up, Liu Hong didn't know. But "worthy of the 'strongest eye'!" Liu Hong said in his heart.

Raising the corners of his mouth again, Liu Hong walked to the vacant ground with a step-by-step step, and then took a piece of chalk and drew a refining array on the ground. First, write down the five seal words of 'grain', 'from the leather', 'run', 'straight' and 'yanshang' on the five corners, and then draw a circle to connect with the five-pointed star.

Throw away the chalk and press with your hands together! A statue made of earth appeared in the center of the array, and although it had no color, it was clearly visible that it was the statue of President Kim Bradley! It can be said that if there is color and the ups and downs of the chest, then it is almost not much different from Kim Bradley!

"Bang Bang!" Kim Bradley looked at his statue and clapped his hands three times: "It's amazing! Mr. Liu Hong! ”

Hearing Kim Bradley's words, the soldier on one side walked up to Liu Hong with a square tray covered with red brocade.

"Now it's yours!" With Kim Bradley's words, the soldier removed the red brocade. A silver pocket watch representing the national alchemist rests quietly on top of a qualification certificate!

When Liu Hong received the pocket watch and qualification certificate, Kim Bradley's words came again: "Your title is 'new', which represents the exchange of technology between the two countries!" ”

"Something else!" Of course, Liu Hong will not say this sentence, but Liu Hong knows very well that this is a certainty!

Before Liu Hong could think for a while, Kim Bradley spoke again: "Since you are a special honorary national alchemist, you don't need to submit a research report once a year for verification, but since you have obtained this title, you must also assist my country's alchemists to conduct some research!" No problem. ”

No problem. This is an inquiry with no questioning tone at all! Liu Hongwei smiled and nodded.

"So what else is going on? If not, I'm going to go to the command first. Kim Bradley smiled and nodded with a very satisfied expression, then joked, "You know, the president always doesn't have much time." ”

After saying that, Kim Bradley walked outside, and said as he walked: "There are several research institutes around, you can take a look for yourself if you have time!" If you feel comfortable in that place, you can help in that place! ”

"Your Excellency, is this appropriate?" A colonel who had followed Kim Bradley out the door asked suddenly.

Kim Bradley had already restrained the smile on his face at this time, and resumed his serious appearance: "As long as he is still useful, it is appropriate!" ”

Putting the silver pocket watch and qualification certificate in his arms, Liu Hong left the Central Command under the guidance of those Central Command staff.

Back at the hotel he rented, Liu Hong poured a glass of water for himself and the android Rust who was in this small inn at some point, and then sat opposite her and frowned and said, "Maybe I should live in a different place!" It's so insecure! ”

Letting out a seductive laugh, Rust took a sip of the water in front of him, and then smiled, "Aren't I here to congratulate you on your qualification as a national alchemist!" Don't resist so much, like a whimsy little boy. ”

Although Liu Hong now wants to say: "I am not a little boy in front of your age!" But looking at the appearance of the woman in Rust, Liu Hong felt that it was better to be wise. Even if it's an artificial person, but after being a woman for so long, some aspects will definitely be more sensitive, right? For example, a certain purple, purple, purple. Use the M button wisely!

"Tell me, what's the matter!" Liu Hong doesn't have the heart to play these little games with people now! Can't afford to play!

Throwing out a bunch of keys and throwing them in front of Liu Hong, Rust smiled: "Since it's not safe here, let's change places!" Not only is the house located in a quiet place, but it is also relatively close to the second branch of the National Library and the third research institute! ”

Looking at Rust, Liu Hong looked at the keychain on the table with the address of the house written on it, and said with a smile: "Wouldn't this be more unsafe?" The keys were all given by someone else! ”

Although he said so, Liu Hong put the key away.

Rust's smile revealed even greater satisfaction: "You don't refuse to think that the beautiful lady is cleaning up the room for you, right?" ”

"Of course not! I can't ask for it! But I'm a prodigal son, and it's not good to let down any lady! Liu Hong first made a joke that was not very funny, and then said with a straight face: "Since I am already a national alchemist, then the transaction should begin!" I seem to be getting a lot now, but I don't want to. ”

"Of course!" Rust suddenly stood up and leaned over to Liu Hong: "I have prepared some good things in that house!" And it's so close to the institute, isn't it? ”

Whistle and look to the side. Although Rust's chest shape is good, Liu Hong really can't be interested in this woman: "Then I have to move over as soon as possible!" ”

Seeing Liu Hong's performance, Rust laughed very happily: "You are so cute!" Is it true that you didn't take a wife? Maybe we can have a good chat! ”

"Don't do that!" Liu Hong said with a distressed look: "Unless the traveler stops traveling, his family will only live in the pain of separation!" So I'd better forget it, why do you marry so early? I haven't thought about going home yet. ”

"What a man in charge!" Rust admired as he walked out the door, "Then I won't bother you to pack your personal belongings." ”

Bringing it to the door, the smile on Rust's face suddenly turned into mockery: "There are not only travelers who can go home, but also those who die in a foreign land!" ”

Seeing the door closed, the distress on Liu Hong's face disappeared, sensing Rust, who was gradually moving away outside the door, and muttered: "Even if I don't go home, I should go somewhere else, otherwise I can't stay here as bait?" ”

As the night began to spread, Liu Hong had already moved everything (actually two suitcases) to his new residence and cleaned it by the way.

Looking at the few pedestrians under the street lamps on the street, Liu Hong took out a small marble-shaped red round stone and played with it in his hand.

If you look closely, it's not what the Philosopher's Stone is!

That's the so-called good stuff that Rust left in this house!

"Four times? What a promise! If I hadn't known what you were going to do, I would have thought you were a good partner to work with! Bounced the Philosopher's Stone high, Liu Hong instantly launched the refining and refined a small iron box to put the Philosopher's Stone in.

When he turned around, he wanted to put the Philosopher's Stone in the small box dedicated to the Philosopher's Stone, but Liu Hong suddenly saw a familiar tall figure under the street lamp!

"Alphonse!"
