"Really?"

Edward asked Liu Mengchao softly, but no matter what the tone, it didn't sound like anything. He seemed to just want to beg Liu Mengchao to deny his own judgment, but for Liu Mengchao, it was just a matter of shaking his head slightly.

"Really."

Liu Mengchao said these two words softly, and directly squinted his eyes and smiled at Edward's reflection. I saw that the young man was suddenly stunned on the spot, as if he had been pulled out of his soul, and just stared blankly at the face portrayed in front of him.

"Liu Mengchao...... Do you know...... When I was in the center, I used to talk to Roy. Colonel Mastan went on a mission. ”

"Mission?"

"Yes, it's the mission. At that time, he was dealing with an alchemist who could manipulate water vapor, and his personal ability was very strong, if he touched his limbs at will, the blood hidden in the human body would instantly boil, and a person would be burned alive. Logically speaking, he is already a national alchemist......" Edward said slowly, the doubts in his eyes that should have been hidden disappeared in an instant, "He also participated in the battle of the annihilation of Ishvar, and he is a very good person. “

Edward whispered his information about the national alchemist. Although he couldn't even remember the name of the alchemist of that country now, his words at that time were now very clear in Edward's mind.

You have no idea what exactly this country is trying to do!

What does the country want to do? Isn't it clear now? This country wants to use all the people in the entire country as materials for the Philosopher's Stone, and all of them will become the Philosopher's Stone!

"The Great President...... We have known this for a long time, so our country will continue to wage war against its neighbors in all directions, right? Edward whispered something he couldn't even believe, but there was a look of horror on his face.

"It seems that this is indeed the case." Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded, "This country has turned into a huge refining array, and all of us in this refining array are just materials that will be turned into philosopher's stones. ”

"That's not right!"

Suddenly. Edward shouted.

"If you really want to cultivate the Philosopher's Stone, you need more than just these things." Edward raised his head, looked at Liu Mengchao and said, "We, he still needs us." ”

We?

Liu Mengchao looked at Edward, and followed suit. If it is difficult to succeed in this refining array, it is not something unimaginable at all, is it?

But what this refining array needs is not something difficult to achieve.

"That's true." Liu Mengchao nodded slowly and smiled, "I think if you want to really implement this refining array." It also needs the so-called people to live, right? For example, you, for example, Alphonse, for example, your master, and me. ”

"Hmmm! That's what I thought, too. Edward nodded vigorously, agreeing with Liu Mengchao's words, "Those of us who have seen the Gate of Truth may also be indispensable for refining the Philosopher's Stone...... No, it shouldn't be the Philosopher's Stone, it should be something else. ”

After all, Edward knew more about alchemy than Liu Mengchao. Once he knows the truth about this country, he can imagine far more things than Liu Mengchao can understand.

"If it's just to be able to refine the Sage's Stone, there's no need to protect someone like me who has seen the Gate of Truth. So...... This formation is only the first step, and there should be alchemists who can use those of us who have seen the Gate of Truth. ”

Interesting. It's just so much fun, isn't it?

Liu Mengchao couldn't help but smile when he heard Edward's words. If there were some mistakes in my previous inference, there should be absolutely no mistakes now.

Come to think of it, an alchemist who can create an artificial person. And how could it be to create a country specifically for the sake of the Philosopher's Stone? This kind of thing is really a little too big for him.

It turned out that the whole country was used as the material for the Philosopher's Stone, which was just a part of his refining array. And next. Those alchemists who have seen the Gate of Truth and have refined the human body are also indispensable materials for him. So those artificial talents will always be around Edward, protecting this kid and not letting him die.

Yes, yes, it seems that this is indeed the case. "What are you going to do?"

While Liu Mengchao was pondering, Edward suddenly raised his head, looked at Liu Mengchao and asked softly. Although he is a resolute person, when he suddenly hears such a secret news, he still has some undecided minds, or there are still some thoughts that he can't control in his heart.

"You don't know?"

Liu Mengchao looked at the expression on Edward's face with some curiosity and laughed.

"No...... No matter what, I want to stop the birth of this refining array. Edward's voice couldn't help but stir, "Alchemy should be a product that can benefit mankind, such a thing...... Something like that...... Absolutely not! ”

Edward spoke firmly, and the look on his face was extremely resolute. Of course, he knew what was going to happen when he said that.

This refining array can be said to be the will of this country. In other words, if he wants to stop this refining formation, he needs to confront the whole country.

Fighting against the whole country, which sounds bloody, is actually a stupid thing to do. It's just that if you really want to save the country, you have to take this stupid-sounding path.

Edward had no choice. He chose to bite the bullet and go down.

"Well done."

Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded, just looking at the look on Edward's face, he already knew what this person was thinking, and he already knew the firm thoughts in this young man's heart.

"Then we'll see you again." Liu Mengchao smiled and said, "By the way, I think there is something I haven't told you yet, the artificial people have a father, and he is an extremely powerful alchemist. ”

Edward nodded.

"He's in the center right now."

Edward's eyes widened.

"I'm not hot-headed, but...... Since you can make up your mind, what I want to do will definitely not be better than yours. ”

Liu Mengchao smiled and waved at Edward, and disappeared into the night.

Unite all those who can be united, and then move towards their goals, this is Liu Mengchao's plan now.

The plan is simple, but it works. (To be continued......)
