The train rumbled through the weedy wilderness and along the tracks to the other side of the country. Time gradually passed in Liu Mengchao's dream with the footprints of this train.

When Liu Mengchao yawned and opened his eyes, the starting point of his trip reappeared in front of his eyes.

The familiar platform, the slightly plainly dressed, this is the most conspicuous dress of the people in the eastern part of the country.

Picking up his luggage, Liu Mengchao stepped out of the carriage and saw the person standing at the train station waiting for him.

"Roy. Colonel Mastan, long time gone. ”

Liu Mengchao couldn't help but smile as he looked at the people who rushed directly into his field of vision. I saw that the man in the dark blue military uniform glanced at Liu Mengchao, with a look full of unhappiness.

"Alchemist of Deception...... This name is really bad. ”

As soon as he saw Liu Mengchao, Roy. Mastan said depressedly. Liu Mengchao ignored the colonel who was constantly complaining, and his gaze walked directly over the man's shoulder and fell on the woman who stayed beside the colonel like a shadow.

Golden short, neat military uniform.

Lisa. Hawk Ai. This is the name of the colonel's personal assistant. However, Liu Mengchao only saw this woman for the first time, and he was able to see the affection hidden under this woman's gaze. Of course, this is not affection for herself, but affection for the man standing in front of her, wearing a dark blue military uniform.

"You've got a good assistant, Roy. Colonel Mastan. ”

Liu Mengchao said as he casually dropped his salute.

"Wait...... Do you want Lisa to take you with your luggage? "Roy. Mastan stood directly in front of his assistant, squinted at Liu Mengchao and said.

"I ...... now" Liu Mengchao didn't answer directly, but took out the silver pocket watch from his arms and shook it lightly in his hand, "It should be barely counted as a national alchemist, right?" ”

"Sort of, if you haven't been brushed off this year's research. You should still be a national alchemist. Looking at Liu Mengchao's lazy expression, Roy. Colonel Mastan almost didn't have his nose pickled.

"Isn't it a matter of course to let the assistant behind you take your luggage?"

Liu Mengchao said, and walked directly to Roy. Beside Mastan, those smiling eyes were constantly on Roy. Mastan and Lisa. Hawk Ai's two bodies rippled back and forth, and the joke contained in them could be smelled even if they covered their noses.

"You!"

Roy. Mastan was about to shout at Liu Mengchao, but Liu Mengchao unexpectedly reached out and stopped Roy. Mastan's words. I saw the corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curl and take a few steps forward. Looking back at Roy. "I've heard that your research diary is written in a woman's name. ”

"Huh?"

Roy. As soon as Mastan heard Liu Mengchao's words, his brows instantly furrowed. It's a secret that no one else can know about my own research notes. As an alchemist, if the secret code of your research notes is known to others, in some ways, it is equivalent to saying that all your secrets have been seen through.

"Who sued you!?"

Roy. Mastan asked, frowning. He remembers clearly, studying the notes himself. I only told the Edward brothers, because these two brothers were simple enough. People who are simple enough are, in some ways, friendly enough. Someone who is able to keep secrets.

"Edward." Liu Mengchao said Edward's name with a smile, and betrayed this friend without hesitation, "I also know that Edward's research notes are written in the travelogue of his travels. In comparison, I think Edward's research notes are more secretive. ”

Edward's notes? Hear Liu Mengchao's words. Roy, who had been delaying his feet. Mastan suddenly realized that something was wrong. If Liu Mengchao was just joking with himself for the sake of saying something inconspicuous, there was no need to mention anything related to Edward.

"But we've seen different research notes in Central City."

Liu Mengchao suddenly stopped and turned to Roy. Mastan said. I saw Liu Mengchao's eyes narrowed slightly. Those black eyes seemed to be full of waiting feelings, no, it was not so much waiting, but rather that Liu Mengchao's eyes were full of playfulness.

Research Notes!?

Roy. Mastan's footsteps paused slightly, but his mind was already running high. Liu Mengchao and Edward were looking for something, if I remember correctly, it should be the research materials of the Philosopher's Stone. Although the Philosopher's Stone is said to be a legend, it is ultimately a product of alchemy.

So......

"You have the research materials for the Philosopher's Stone?" Roy. Mastan asked in a flash. Although Liu Mengchao has not yet given an answer, Roy. Mastan had already figured it out in his mind.

After all, Liu Mengchao didn't seem to have the slightest interest in alchemy, and he didn't look like someone who would come into contact with other people's research materials. If a piece of information Liu Mengchao and Edward were seen at the same time, isn't it most likely the research data of the Philosopher's Stone?

Thinking of this, Roy. Mastan's footsteps instantly quickened, and he rushed directly to Liu Mengchao's side. Lisa, who was still puzzled. Lieutenant Huo Keai also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and silently lifted Liu Mengchao's suitcase, took a step back, and alerted the surrounding situation.

Obviously, Liu Mengchao just asked her to take her luggage, not to show the privilege of her country's alchemist, but to allow herself to create a Roy. The environment where Mastan and Liu Mengchao talk alone.

"I'm sorry, I've been gag, and I can't speak yet."

Looking at Roy, who had already walked to his side. Mastan, Liu Mengchao smiled and shook his head.

"In the name of the colonel, I order you to tell me the truth." Facing Liu Mengchao's smiling eyes, Roy. Mastan said without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, but you're not old enough."

Inadequate?

Hearing Liu Mengchao's words, Roy. Mastan's voice paused involuntarily. I saw him roll his eyes, looked at Liu Mengchao and nodded, and said to himself. "Isn't my identity enough?"

"Yes." Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded, "The research materials written with recipes can't tell you the details." Thank you for your understanding. ”

Really! Your own guess is right!

As soon as he heard Liu Mengchao's reply, Roy. The corners of Mastan's mouth curled.

"What about other than that?"

"Anything else?" Liu Mengchao greeted Roy. Mastan's gaze paused slowly, and reorganized the language, "Edward and I seem to have something in common. We unexpectedly see that we have the same approach in areas that we are not allowed to touch. ”

The human body is refined?!

"Right?" Look at Roy. There was a look of knowledge in Mastan's eyes. The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled higher. I saw Liu Mengchao towards Roy. Mastan blinked his eyes, "Speaking of which, Maas. Lieutenant Colonel Xiuz was unable to leave the Central Committee because of his work, which sounds really frustrating. ”

"I see?" Roy. Mastan looked at Liu Mengchao's eyes and nodded slowly, "What about Edward?" ”

"I'm going to find his master." Liu Mengchao said, spreading his hands, "I heard that his master is also an extremely high alchemist. Without using the alchemy array, the alchemy can be completed directly. ”

Refined!?

You don't need your hands to complete alchemy?

Isn't this the common ability of those who have completed the refinement of the human body and seen the door of truth?

Roy. Mastan nodded slowly, and walked beside Liu Mengchao without saying a word, waiting for Liu Mengchao's next words. He was now clear about something. There's only one question missing.

"I thought you were going to travel with the Edward brothers, why did you come to the east?"

"Because there's no difference, it's all right? Speaking of which, I envy Roy. Colonel Mastan your working environment. He said. Liu Mengchao suddenly stopped his own footsteps and looked back at Lisa, who was following carefully and vigilantly. Lieutenant Hawk Ai came, "If it's someone who doesn't know the truth." Maybe you'll think she's your girlfriend, Colonel! ”

Speaking of which, haven't waited for Roy. Colonel Mastan replied, and Liu Mengchao had already waved his hand towards Roy. Colonel Mastan said goodbye.

Liu Mengchao's movements were very fast, and in just a few ups and downs, he had already disappeared into the crowd.

"By the way, don't forget to bring my luggage to the hotel, Roy. Colonel Mastan. ”

Liu Mengchao's words before parting, slowly in Roy. Colonel Mastan's ears fluttered.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Liu Mengchao is already far away, and Lisa, who is carrying the luggage in one hand. It was only then that Lieutenant Hawk Ai slowly walked over to Roy. Mastan's side, frowning slightly, looked at Liu Mengchao, who had disappeared.

"Aren't you curious?"

Look at Lisa. Hawk Ai's eyes, Roy. Mastan asked softly.

They were now some distance from the eastern station, and the car show, which was once full of people, was now fading away, and the pedestrians on the street were thinning.

After a few turns, Lisa. Hawk Ai finally saw that there was no one around, and then asked slowly, "When you were at the station just now...... There are people around you who are watching your conversation. ”

"Oh? Is that really the case? ”

Roy. Colonel Mastan stopped, but a contemptuous smile had already squeezed out from the corner of his mouth, as if the qiē that had just been born was what he had expected.

"But it's okay, you should have noticed it, so be careful when talking, Liu Mengchao didn't reveal anything to you."

"Is that really the case?" Roy standing in the shadows. Mastan looked at his lieutenant and shook his head slightly, "It's not so much that Liu Mengchao didn't reveal anything to me, but that Liu Mengchao has already explained everything to me." ”

"What!?"

Lisa. Hawke's eyes widened, and there was a look of incredulity in his eyes. She didn't expect that Liu Mengchao and Roy. In the midst of the crowd, the two of them actually explained everything clearly.

"That's true." Roy. Mastan narrowed his eyes slightly, recalled his conversation with Liu Mengchao, and said slowly, "He first said the code of my research notes, and then the code of Edward. ”

"This ...... Is this a secret that belongs to an alchemist? ”

"Yes," Roy. Mastan nodded, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, "Liu Mengchao told me before that he lost his memory because of the refining of the human body. In other words, he hadn't seen anyone else's research, and among the people he knew well, only Brother Edward and I were an alchemist. ”

"But...... That's right! I remember Liu Mengchao said that he also saw a book written with a cookbook...... What is the research? ”

"Well...... If I'm not mistaken...... No, it should be said that Liu Mengchao has made it very clear. He and Edward had found information about the Philosopher's Stone in Central City, and had already deciphered it. "Roy. While recalling Liu Mengchao's words, Mastan organized his own language and said again, "But Liu Mengchao told me, and he has nothing to say. You should know that although the national alchemist has a special status, if you have to convert the military rank, it is a major level, right? ”

"Yes."

"I asked Liu Mengchao to answer as a colonel, and he just said that my rank was not enough. In other words, it means that there are people with a higher status than me, and they have issued a gag order to Liu Mengchao. ”

"I see......" Lisa. Huo Keai nodded slightly, "But I heard Liu Mengchao also mention Maas. Xiuz's name, says that he always worked in the center. ”

"yes, isn't that understandable? The object of this gag order is not only Liu Mengchao, but also Maas. Xiuz. "Roy. The corners of Mastan's mouth curled, and he said with a smile, "And on the other hand, Mastein. As long as Xiuz participates in the survey, I want to ...... It must have something to do with the upper echelons of the military, right? ”

"Hmm...... That's true, after all, both of you want to change the country. ”

Roy. Mastan nodded in satisfaction, but his brow furrowed subconsciously.

"Liu Mengchao wants to say that there shouldn't be more than that." Roy. Mastan thought, subconsciously pacing. Directly press him subconsciously from Lisa. Hawk Ai walked by, his breath holding his breath for a moment.

"I see!" (To be continued......)
