Chapter 30: Reward

When the train slowly approached the station with curling smoke, Liu Mengchao and his group's journey had come to an end. He seemed accustomed to the situation, but there was a faint hint of mockery in his eyes.

"General......

"Just call me Lockhart." The middle-aged man who was smiling and stroking his daughter's blonde hair smiled and nodded towards Liu Mengchao, "You saved our family's life, no matter what, it seems that there is nothing to repay you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Mengchao did not refuse. He just smiled reservedly and waved his hand at the general.

"It's an exaggeration, after all, I want to become a national alchemist, and I still hope you can recommend it for me."

"There's no need for that."

Seeing Liu Mengchao's slightly surprised expression, Lockhart felt a little interesting.

"Your strength has fully met the standards for becoming a national alchemist, and in the long time since I joined the army, I really haven't seen such a weird and wonderful alchemy like you."

As he spoke, General Lockhart seemed to have a strange color on his face.

"Who would have thought that your people were already moving in the carriage, but each of us still thought you were still standing in the doorway?" As he spoke, Lockhart couldn't help but sigh, "If such alchemy can be used on the battlefield, whether it is tactical deception or covering the attack of a large army, it will be invincible, right?" ”

"Isn't this exactly where the country needs alchemists to play a role?"

Liu Mengchao squinted his eyes and said with a grin at the corner of his mouth. He spoke slowly, and the slowly rocking train stopped at this moment, and came to a quiet stop on the tracks.

Suddenly, there was a noise on the platform. The sound was so warm that it was like a pot of boiling water.

"Liu Mengchao, we've arrived at the station!"

Before Liu Mengchao could come back to his senses, the carriage door was opened again. I saw the Edward brothers walking towards Liu Mengchao one after the other. Edward, in particular, still had a hint of fatigue on his face after a long journey.

"It's really hard enough, Liu Mengchao!"

As soon as he saw Liu Mengchao, Edward couldn't wait to say.

"Anyway...... Roy, you want to show me? Colonel Mastan is here, right? ”

"Hmm."

Edward said as he walked outside with Liu Mengchao. He didn't walk fast, and his face was full of reluctance, and it looked like he hadn't slept well.

"Although I don't really like that Roy? Colonel Mastan, but it must be said that he is a good man. Edward said, suddenly stopping again, "No...... Considering his past words and deeds. Not a good person. ”

A good person, but not a good person.

This is the reflection that Edward expounded on Liu Mengchao.

What exactly is this called Roy? What kind of person is Mastan's man, even Liu Mengchao has a trace of curiosity in his heart at this moment.

"So this one is called Roy? The men of Mastan are supposed to live a long time, right? Liu Mengchao didn't know who appeared in his heart, and the smile on his face became richer. Why? ”

Edward's face was full of doubts and puzzles, as if he was waiting for Liu Mengchao to reveal the answer to him.

"The so-called good people do not live long, and the scourge lasts for thousands of years. Isn't that the most accurate commentary? ”

"Yo!"

Before Edward could laugh approvingly, an officer in a trench coat strode towards them in the distance. I saw that he had neat short hair and a hint of schadenfreude on his round face.

"It's really hard! Steelboy! ”

Without waiting for Edward to speak, Liu Mengchao already knew the name of the man who appeared in front of him at this moment.

Roy? Mastan. Served in the Eastern Command with the rank of colonel. National Alchemist, the title is Flame.

"Hey, don't have such an unhappy look on your face. Your expression. Do you have an opinion about me? ”

"If you know that this is the colonel's defense area, I won't interfere with anything." The corners of Edward's mouth twitched, and he said with a sneer. He seems to have the same name as Roy in front of him? The men in Mastan are very acquainted, or the relationship between the two is not bad. Liu Mengchao even just glanced at it. I can feel it generally, too.

"Interesting."

Liu Mengchao looked at the colonel who was too young to speak with interest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

"White, with a white hood......" until this time. Roy? Colonel Mastan seems to have finally noticed Liu Mengchao, who was standing next to Edward. With just a slight stroke, Liu Mengchao could feel that the colonel in front of him had a pair of extremely sharp eyes.

I really underestimated him.

Liu Mengchao thought to himself.

"It's hard work, you should be Liu Mengchao, right? I heard about this incident, Steelboy didn't make any effort from beginning to end, and you solved everything alone? "Roy? Mastan said it very politely, but in Liu Mengchao's ears, it inevitably had a hint of business.

"And what kind of reward is the government going to give me?"

Liu Mengchao said unceremoniously, his eyes were more than Roy, who had just looked at him? Mastan's gaze was ten times sharper.

"Oh......"

Hearing Liu Mengchao's words, Roy? Mastan groaned as well. I saw that he first raised his head, and then looked at Edward who was standing beside Liu Mengchao.

"Isn't your body still recovering?" Roy? Mastan said slowly, "I've heard a lot of rumors about you lately. The extremely young national alchemist roams around the country, constantly causing commotion. ”

said it was a commotion, but according to Liu Mengchao's understanding of Edward, it should be that some uneven things were solved by this little Douding, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao couldn't help laughing. It's strange to say, as if an appointment was made, Roy? Mastan smiled at this time.

The eyes of the two of them couldn't help but collide slightly, and they met again.

"You're an alchemist, aren't you? Otherwise, it's hard to explain the weird abilities. "Roy? Mastan said slowly, recalling the report in his mind just now.

"I don't think there's a necessary connection between who a person is and what he deserves." Liu Mengchao shook his head gently as he spoke.

"That's true for others, but not so for you." Roy? Mastan said, the corners of his mouth curled, "Because I'm going to recommend you to be this year's national alchemist." (To be continued......)
