Chapter 7: The Fate of the Dragon's Set
The praying girl looked at Liu Mengchao in a daze, then at Edward, and finally moved her gaze to the big terrifying armor.
"You ......"
She asked softly, but didn't answer quickly.
Just because Liu Mengchao and Edward asked and answered, the world fell silent.
There was a soft click, and Edward, who was sitting on the bench with his legs crossed, opened the notebook in his hand. This notebook has been around for some years in Liu Mengchao's opinion, and the corners of the cover that wrap the notebook are rough and rough, and it looks a little bleak.
"Thirty-five litres of water, four litres of ammonia, eight hundred grams of phosphorus, one hundred grams of saltpeter, seven and a half grams of fluorine, three grams of silicon, twenty kilograms of carbon, one hundred and a half kilograms of lime, two hundred and fifty grams of salt, eighty grams of negative ions, five grams of iron, fifteen elements...... Small amount. ”
"What is this?"
A confused look flashed in the eyes of the praying girl, and she asked puzzledly.
"This is an adult's anatomical component, and science now can only understand this step, and there is actually no successful example of refining the human body. But then again, these ingredients can be bought even if they are just a child's pocket money if you go to the market, and people ...... It's such a cheap thing. ”
"People are not objects! Do not blaspheme the Creator, for you will be damned! ”
"Damnation?" Looking at Edward and the girl who asked and answered, it seemed that they were about to quarrel and get angry, the corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled, and he stood directly beside Edward, looked down at the young man who no longer had his right arm and left leg, and said with a smile, "It seems that the girl's words are very correct, if you suddenly offend the realm of God, the curse will really come." ”
The so-called heavenly damnation is the pass paid when you see the door of truth, right?
Edward frowned slightly, but did not continue.
"Still, though, if you really choose to believe in the true God. You might be able to grow taller, too! ”
Do you grow taller?
It didn't seem like a big deal, but at this moment it seemed to the girl that it had become an extremely important thing, a thing that could show that her faith was true and valid.
"Yes, I'm afraid the dream of growing taller would be impossible without the help of miracles, right?" Liu Mengchao's eyes narrowed, and he laughed directly, "Edward, I think you have already seen the miracle displayed by the leader of the Thunder God Sect just now, right?" ”
"Miracle ......?"
Liu Mengchao's words were like a basin of cold water, suddenly dousing the two Edward brothers who were still a little confused. I saw that the two brothers looked at each other, and nodded slowly to each other.
"The principle of equivalent exchange is violated. If you really want to explain it, I'm afraid it can only be described by words like miracles. ”
Miracle?
Liu Mengchao bowed his head slightly and looked at the girl who had just prayed.
"The old man...... No, the old gentleman is the bishop of the Reiter Church, right? ”
Bishop?
The Edward brothers are not stupid people, no, it should be said that the two of them are really extremely intelligent characters. After all, not everyone in the country can achieve fame, and only one or two people can pass each year. Edward, in particular, was the youngest alchemist in the founding of the nation.
So without even meeting his eyes, Edward already understood the meaning of Liu Mengchao's words.
Since the bishop of the Rett sect was able to violate the principle of alchemy equivalent exchange to refine items. Then it is very likely that he is the owner of the Philosopher's Stone. And the best way to get close to this person without a trace......
"Miss, I'm starting to be interested in religion!" Edward raised his hand excitedly, a dull hair swaying from his head, "I want to talk to the bishop." Can you introduce us to that? ”
"You guys? Liu Mengchao, do you want me to introduce you to the bishop? ”
The girl turned her head suspiciously, but found that Liu Mengchao, who was still standing beside her a moment ago, had disappeared without a trace, as if disappearing from her eyes like a gust of wind.
Edward and his younger brother Alphonse were not surprised by Liu Mengchao's situation, Liu Mengchao seemed to be born with an ability. It can disappear without a trace without people noticing.
"I can't ask for it......"
After the idol, Liu Mengchao lowered his hood and fell into the shadows. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The Holy See of the Religion of Leite is located in the middle of the city, and unlike the upright architectural style in the image of ordinary people, the roof of the Religion of Leit is mostly flat-roofed, which makes Liu Mengchao who walks on it feel a touch of foreign customs.
I saw that his steps were swift and light, and there was silence when the soles of his feet fell. And Liu Mengchao's speed was so fast, he just shook in front of the guard, and those in charge of the guard at most just rubbed their eyes, and then looked strangely at the world in front of them that had not changed.
"It seems that my speed is still fast, and it's a little scary......"
Liu Mengchao walked as he came to the most magnificent building. This is the main building of the church, which is connected to a basement. And as the leader of the Thunder God Cult, he is in this building at the moment. 、
I saw Liu Mengchao on one side, and the whole person fell lightly like a cat, standing quietly in the shadow of the balcony window. He squinted slightly, quietly tilted his ears, and quietly held his breath.
I only heard the door banging open, and a rush of footsteps suddenly stopped at this time. The voice of the man who spoke was as rough as gravel. Just listen to it, "Your Excellency, someone is asking to see you!" ”
"Who are they......"
Before the words fell, I heard the teacup clatter, and the silver spoon in the palm of my hand jingled and stirred in the teacup.
"I'm busy right now, let them go back. Wait, who are they? ”
As if he had just recovered from the afternoon tea, the bishop asked again.
"A child and a man in armor, who call themselves Brother Eric."
Dangdang...... Fixed...... The silver spoon swayed in the porcelain teacup again, and the bishop's thoughts began to ripple again.
"Brother Eric, Eric ...... Eric! Edward? Eric! Is the guy you just mentioned surnamed Eric? ”
Before anyone could answer, the bishop asked again in a panic.
"Ah...... Yes, that kid did call himself Edward? Eric...... Do you know him, Bishop? ”
The bishop glanced up at the visitor, and did not rush to answer, but first rubbed his own eyes with his hand. He felt a little tired, and it took a while before he finally spoke.
"If it's really that Edward, we're in trouble. He should be a steel ball-level alchemist! ”
"Such a short alchemist, this can't be!"
"Fool, the talent of an alchemist is not determined by age!"
The bishop stood up excitedly, and Liu Mengchao could clearly hear the sound of the porcelain teacup snapping and shattering on the ground, and he could also hear the breathing of the two people in the room becoming rapid.
"You need not doubt it, I've heard it a long time ago, Edward Eric qualified as a national alchemist at the age of twelve. Really a legendary figure. ”
As soon as the words fell, the bishop laughed.
"What should we do now, Bishop? If he finds out about our plan and reports it to the military, we'll ......"
"Don't panic! Jonas! Although the military has a very good nose, if no one knows that they have been here, things will be completely different. You tell me? ”
There was a moment of silence, and Jonas sneered.
"Then we will do God's will."
"Do it, take Brother Eric to the basement, and let God judge the rest of the matter!"
Bishop Huo Ran got up, stepped directly on the broken porcelain shard, made a torturous sound, and brought the door with a bang.
At this moment, the whole room was empty again.
Liu Mengchao got up, jumped out of the shadows, and landed lightly in the room. I saw Liu Mengchao pull open the velvet chair of the original bishop, and his feet were already on the table with two thuds. "Nonsense, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the fate of the dragon." (To be continued......)
