Chapter 51: The National Alchemist Assessment
"Thank you so much for those gifts you gave my daughter." One out of Maas. At the door of Xiuzi's house, the old man of the Gu family had a relieved expression on his face. In fact, Liu Mengchao just gave away the most ordinary small toys in the street store, and it was not a big deal. But maybe in the eyes of parents, as long as it is something for their children, it is worth saying thank you, right?
Liu Mengchao nodded noncommittally and headed towards Maas. Lieutenant Colonel Xiuz waved his hand and disappeared into the night.
Time flies, fleeting.
The National Alchemist exam was fast approaching, and when Liu Mengchao stood at the door of the gendarmerie headquarters again, he could already see the unique atmosphere around him. There are candidates with dark circles everywhere, although they are all superhuman alchemists outside, but here, it seems that they have become the most ordinary candidates.
Walked in, there was no body search. Liu Mengchao is still very satisfied with this. When Liu Mengchao sat down with his exam number: No. 45, he took a second look at the exam room.
The whole exam room is not very large, but it is not small. It's almost like a lecture hall in a university that is most often seen in another world.
And Liu Mengchao sat in the innermost position of this classroom.
When the people were almost in, the test papers began to be distributed to everyone one by one. Liu Mengchao flipped through the test papers in front of him, and there were almost a dozen of them.
"Looks like it's going to be another tough battle!"
Liu Mengchao picked up the pen, bent down, and wrote word by word.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Get!
After writing the last word, Liu Mengchao threw the pen casually, and everything was fine. For Liu Mengchao, this exam was not as difficult as he imagined, perhaps because he had seen the door of truth, so with the passage of time. Liu Mengchao's understanding of alchemy has become clearer and clearer.
Maybe Liu Mengchao is not as good as an alchemist who has studied all his life, but if he just wants to pass a national alchemist exam, Liu Mengchao can be said to have no difficulty.
"Please keep it, this is your admission ticket."
As soon as Liu Mengchao came out of the door, he directly received a document about his identity. It clearly states the time of Liu Mengchao's exam and the number of times he took the exam.
"The results of this written test will be available in three days, and if you pass, we will inform you of the hotel where you are staying. At that time, it is enough to come to the gendarmerie headquarters for an interview with another receipt, along with this one. I wish you all the best. ”
The female clerk had a smile on her face. It seems so amiable that people can't help but feel kind. It's just that Liu Mengchao has seen such a smile too many times, so much that he even feels a little numb. When his sight returned to only Liu Mengchao, Liu Mengchao already knew that the next time would pass in front of him in a hurry.
Time flies by without even a hint of nostalgia. When Liu Mengchao opened his eyes again, it was already time for the interview for the National Alchemist Exam.
When Liu Mengchao stood at the entrance of the gendarmerie headquarters again, he couldn't help but think of the Edward brothers who didn't know where they were now. According to the agreement, he was separated from them. In order to test who the target of those artificial people is. But by now, Liu Mengchao has a general understanding.
"Isn't that my own target?"
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth twitched, and he walked directly into the interview and examination room of the national alchemist.
The examination room for the interview of the national alchemist is still in the military police headquarters, and a conference room is directly borrowed. It is used for assessment purposes.
From the outside, the room used for the exam was ordinary, and there was nothing remarkable about it. It was only when Liu Mengchao's right hand was pressed on it that he could feel a faint alchemy power coming from inside the door.
"Liu Mengchao. Please come in. ”
The door was pushed open, and it was still the same clerk lady who had met Liu Mengchao before, and she had now regained her long hair. With a nice smile on his face.
"Okay."
Liu Mengchao nodded lightly and walked in directly. As soon as he entered the room, Liu Mengchao felt how dark this room was, and there was no light to see everywhere, only a triangular golden stool was placed in front of Liu Mengchao.
Sit down.
Liu Mengchao raised his head and looked at the person in front of him suspiciously. Although the surrounding light was extremely dark, Liu Mengchao, who possessed the abilities of Assassin's Creed, was tantamount to a bright and spacious daylight.
"The stool didn't fall, it seems that you do have the ability to alchemy."
As soon as Liu Mengchao sat down, the voice of judgment came directly in front of him.
The stool hasn't fallen yet? Liu Mengchao's brows frowned slightly, in other words, if he wasn't an alchemist, as long as he sat on this golden stool, would he collapse directly?
It's kind of funny.
Thinking of this, the corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled, and he waited with great interest for the interview that was about to start.
"Liu Mengchao...... Easterners. The referrer is Roy. Colonel Mastan and Edward Fullmetal Alchemist. Eric. The examiner, who was sitting in the distance, picked up the paper full of Liu Mengchao's information and looked at it carefully.
"Let's talk about why you want to become a national alchemist, right?"
Reason?
Liu Mengchao didn't think about it, and grinned directly.
"There's nothing funny about that, is it?" The examiner's voice sounded a little angry. He didn't seem to have seen someone come to take the exam with a smile on his face when he was interviewing a national alchemist.
"Isn't the reason obvious?" Liu Mengchao said, raised his head directly, and his eyes stabbed out directly like a sharp knife, "For the sake of privilege." ”
Privilege?
"You're being honest!" The examiner was stunned for a moment, he had heard countless different answers, some were to protect the country, and some were to pursue the truth of alchemy. But no one has ever told themselves that being a state alchemist is for privilege?
"If it were only for the sake of privilege, wouldn't you have rebelled if someone had offered you better terms?"
Liu Mengchao was silent and refused to answer the question. After all, in Liu Mengchao's opinion, this question is really too mentally retarded.
"Why do you refuse to answer!"
"If there are other countries that can give me better conditions, then it is not me who should reflect on me, but you." Liu Mengchao said mercilessly, "After all, the person who controls this country and uses alchemists is not me, but you!" ”
If the country is not able to guarantee the loyalty of even the national alchemists who are human weapons, the problem is definitely not with the alchemists, but with those in power.
This is the most obvious thought in Liu Mengchao's heart. He didn't even want to hide it in the slightest, it seemed that it was just a short meeting, and Liu Mengchao had completely seen through what this group of people were thinking.
"Hahaha! You can say that again! The problem should be with our group! ”
Hearing Liu Mengchao's words, the person sitting in the center laughed directly. Although Liu Mengchao couldn't see his appearance clearly through the eagle eyes, Liu Mengchao could probably find that this man had one eye with an eye patch.
Blind?
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled up and he laughed.
"You've passed!"
As Liu Mengchao expected, the one sitting in the middle seemed to have a low status, and directly let himself pass.
"President, please think about it, this person looks like a traitor!"
Before Liu Mengchao could get up, the examiners in the distance seemed to be arguing.
"No, I think this man is sincere. Not generally sincere, he said what he thought directly, without a hint of deception, which I think is more worthy of my trust than lofty ideals. Moreover, isn't Liu Mengchao right? As a national alchemist with the country's combat power, if he can't get treatment that can meet his own needs, it's not surprising to rebel, right? After all, it's our group that they've been using them as weapons! ”
Is this president very sensible?
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled, and he laughed directly.
But then again, the prime minister feels a little strange about himself. It's like I've seen it somewhere.
Liu Mengchao squinted, searching for relevant memories in his mind, only to find that in the end he just found nothing.
"Liu Mengchao, you have passed the interview and assessment of the national alchemist, and after three days, I will personally go to the actual operation assessment site, and I hope you will perform well at that time."
Liu Mengchao nodded slowly, indicating that he had understood. I saw Liu Mengchao stand up, his eyes swept contemptuously in front of everyone in front of him, and then sneered.
"I now know why the president is able to make the president."
After speaking, Liu Mengchao walked out of the examination room without looking back, leaving the examiners who stayed in the examination room and looked at each other.
"What the hell does he mean?" A person asked puzzledly, he was the one who directly scolded Liu Mengchao at that time.
"It's a measure, isn't it? As the direct leader of the national alchemist, only the president has such a weapon to accommodate an unruly alchemist like Liu Mengchao just now! ”
As soon as the words fell, in an instant, a deafening cheer broke out in the originally noisy alchemist interview and assessment scene. directly surprised the candidates outside, but Liu Mengchao, who was the protagonist, has long since disappeared. (To be continued......)
