"Thank you!" After asking where Liu Hong's home was, Zhang Mei thanked a lady with a lovely smile on her face, and then jumped towards Liu Hong's home with the panda Xiaomei in her arms: "I didn't expect Edward to know Liu Hong, I'm so lucky!" That useless uncle is still a little useful. ”

When Zhang Mei learned a few days ago that there was an alchemist named Liu Hong from the new country in Amestris, she inquired and came over to Central City. She is cute, and she has a well-behaved mouth, most of the people who are asked are happy to tell her what they know, even if they don't know, they will say that someone may know something or something, so Zhang Mei very easily got the information that Yao Lin and his party learned after various spying!

"After meeting that hateful uncle later, ask him to introduce Edward to me!" While walking and talking to herself, Zhang Mei seemed to think of something, and her face flushed, and the whole person looked even more cute.

Edward was heard by her during a meal. After learning that Edward was not only the youngest national alchemist in all of Amestris, but also traveled around to help others (shouldn't it be a trouble?). Zhang Mei beautified Edward's image in her heart many times! A girl's heart explodes!

As for Liu Hong's image, after she looked for it for a few days, she changed from a friend known by her uncle to a useless uncle, and the uncle was added because of the uncle's acquaintance, but now it seems to have been changed to a hateful uncle (Liu Hong said that he was crying blind!). ）。

Liu Hong's home is very easy to find, or the location of his home is too obvious, and there are not many families around, so Zhang Mei didn't take long to find it.

But when she knocked on the door and shouted, she found that no one was home!

"Did you go out?" Zhang Mei looked at the sky and found that it was very late now, and most people should have gone home a long time ago!

"Little girl, who are you from this family?" When Zhang Mei was muttering to herself and muttering bad things about Liu Hong, a young woman's voice came.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

"Cooperation?" Looking at Liu Hong, who was smiling, and Yao Lin, who was heroic, Mastan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Your Excellency is very concerned about the matter of refining the country!" ”

Liu Hong just smiled and didn't speak (when I found this sentence during the inspection, I immediately thought of 'I'll just smile and don't speak!') ’）。

"Cooperation" Yao Lin looked at Mastan carefully, and then asked, "Colonel Masstan, what do you think?" ”

"Of course I'm very happy to be able to cooperate with a foreign prince!" For Yao Lin, Mastan had a friendly smile.

His eyes stared sharply at Mastan, as if he wanted to see through Mastan's whole person, but Mastan's expression did not change at all.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and Yao Lin's eyes narrowed, but he didn't show the casual laziness he had before, but like a fox: "Of course cooperation is a good thing!" But I want to know what your qualifications are! The colonel's qualifications are a bit low! ”

"I will be the great president of Amestlis in the future!" Mastan smiled, but his tone was categorical.

"In the future?" Looking at the confident Mastan, Yao Lin's eyes had completely narrowed into a slit, so that everyone couldn't see his thoughts clearly!

"In the future! Coming soon! Mastan's voice was still so unequivocal.

Wordlessly, Mastan's face was full of smiles and confidence, and Yao Lin squinted his eyes without other expressions.

This dreary atmosphere made other people very uncomfortable, especially Liu Hong! The depressing and dull atmosphere made him feel impetuous, but he couldn't suppress it if he wanted to!

Frowning, Liu Hong rubbed his temples, pulled Marco to the side, and asked softly, "How is Stella doing lately?" ”

Marco frowned, but after looking at the people around him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After research and calculation, we plan to use the land refining to lock the crustal energy of the entire Ametris!" ”

"Wait! The land is refined? The energy of the earth's crust that locks up the whole of Ametris? The plan that Marco said made Liu Hong directly stunned! What the heck?

"The most basic thing in alchemy is to sense the energy of the earth's crust!" Ma saw that the attention of the others had turned, so he stood up and explained, "We plan to use the land refining to lock the crustal energy of the entire Ametrius, so that Ametrius can no longer use alchemy!" ”

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Mastan had already given up looking at Yao Lin affectionately, looked at Marco with a hint of disdain, and said, "Lock the earth's crustal energy? Not to mention how much of an impact this will have on the world, do you have that energy? Do you know how much energy it takes to lock up a piece of the earth's crust? ”

"We? We certainly don't have that much energy to lock up the earth's crust, but we don't need that much either! With a confident smile on his face, Marco pointed to the slightly bright sky in the distance and smiled: "There's enough energy there!" ”

Everyone looked at his hand and found that it was Central City!

"You have circles?" Liu Hong asked a very crucial question. To be refined, there must be a circle! This is the common sense of alchemy, and it is also necessary for alchemy!

"The people of Ishbal were more than happy to help us! And since it's a star, do you think it will be less? Marco smiled and asked Liu Hong a question, a very simple and very meaningful question.

Will there be fewer stars? Look at the stars in the sky, who will say few words!

"Has the reaction been resolved after locking up the energy of the earth's crust?" Edward asked another key question. Crustal energy is the energy released when the earth's crust moves, if this energy is locked, will it affect the movement of the earth's crust? If that's the case, it can be said to be a world catastrophe!

"Actually, if you really want to talk about it, the word 'locked' doesn't fit!" Marco showed no signs of hesitation in Edward's question: "It's not so much 'locked' as it is to keep the earth's crustal energy in a fixed state of circulation!" There is no end and no beginning! This does not affect the movement of the earth's crust in any way, nor does it interfere with the movement of the earth's crust, but only gradually dissipates over time! But before this cycle is gone, any alchemist who wants to use the energy of the earth's crust in Ametris will not be able to do so because of the land we have laid down! ”

"If your calculations are correct, it's a good idea!" Liu Hong touched his chin and thought for a while, then nodded: "With the Sage Stone in Central City as energy, it can greatly consume the energy of the flask villain, making it weaker and weaker with the passage of time!" But did you take into account his counterattack? He's not a dead man! ”

"That's why I'm back in Amesteris again!" Looking around, Marco looked at everyone and said seriously: "We didn't know about the existence of the flask villain beforehand, but we also think that there will definitely be people who use the Philosopher's Stone!" So after we have completed the refining of the territory, can we work together to defeat the flask villain? Alchemy is probably not in the restricted category! Weapons will not be limited either! ”

Looking at the passionate Marco, Liu Hong touched his chin. This image doesn't match the one in the anime at all! If it weren't for some of his behaviors and things he knew, Liu Hong would have thought that he was pretending to be Enwei!

Does a face change the rhythm of the worldview? This is Liu Hong's idea when he looked at the handsome uncle's face in his main knife.

"What does that have to do with me?" The most confused thing for everyone present was Yao Lin, although what Liu Hong said in their words may be a very important matter related to the safety of Amestris, but does it have anything to do with him as he asked? He is the prince of the new country!

The others were speechless for a while, but Liu Hong laughed: "Of course I need your combat power!" Your combat power as the new prince! It's also the price to give you the Philosopher's Stone! ”

Looking at Yao Lin, who was silent, Liu Hong smiled again: "Do you know why you said so much?" ”

Liu Hong's question made Yao Lin's body stiffen!

Know! How could you not know! But Yao Lin felt that it was better for him not to know!

Looking at Liu Hong, whose expression was uncertain against the backdrop of the flames, Yao Lin said coldly: "Will you trust me?" ”

"It's not that we trust you! It's about whether you trust the flask villain! As he spoke, Liu Hong transported the energy of the Sage's Stone out of the Tanzhong Acupoint and circulated throughout his body!

"You! You eat people! Sensing the aura emanating from Liu Hong, Yao Lin opened his eyes, but it was completely not as sharp as before, only shock and fear!

"Cannibalism?" Yao Lin's words made Liu Hong stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled bitterly: "Cannibalism won't have these breaths!" ”

"But" Liu Hong's words made Yao Lin relax a little, but only a little: "Then what is on you?" ”

"Forgotten?" Liu Hong looked at Yao Lin, who was sweating on his forehead, and said after completely storing the energy of the Sage's Stone into the Tanzhong Acupoint: "Sage's Stone!" ”

Looking at Liu Hong, who no longer had a trace of other breath and was completely breathing like an ordinary master, Yao Lin frowned deeply, and said astringently: "Is this the amount of making a Philosopher's Stone?" ”

"Almost!" Liu Hong's voice was also a little difficult: "The Philosopher's Stone energy absorbed from Russ is housed by the souls of seventy-three people, but there is still a part of it absorbed when receiving treatment before, but if you count the loss, it is about the same as now!" ”

Looking at Yao Lin, who was silent, Liu Hong smiled bitterly: "If it fails, what do you think will happen to the flask villain?" ”

"But I'm from Xinguo!" Yao Lin's heart was already shaken, otherwise he would not have emphasized the meaningless question that he was a native of Xinguo.

"Do you think he cares if there are too many Philosopher's Stones?" Mastan's words shattered Yao Lin's last bit of luck, and also made everyone present feel that it was too cold tonight! They shivered in unison!

After the conversation, Yao Lin confirmed the cooperative relationship with Mastan! At the same time, he also got a piece of the Sage's Stone from Liu Hong and brought it back to Xinguo! After agreeing to win the favor of the new emperor, he will lead his cronies to Amestris, half a year later!
