What does the Philosopher's Stone look like? No one seemed to know until then, and people were only able to peek at the scattered claws of this legendary object from books handed down from antiquity. Some say it's the Heavenly Stone, some say it's the mysterious fifth element, some say it's the Great Red Alchemy, and some say it's the substance of matter.

So in other words, what exactly does this so-called Philosopher's Stone look like?

No one knows, but there is one thing that has long been the consensus of everyone. That is, the so-called philosopher's stone can violate the most inviolable principle of alchemy to a certain extent.

Equivalent exchange!

Anyone who owns this stone seems to be able to open the most mysterious doors of alchemy. It was as if he was standing at opposite ends of the scale, adding what he wanted with one hand and pressing it down with the other, not paying anything at all.

This is the power of the Philosopher's Stone.

Some say that the Philosopher's Stone can resurrect the dead, and some say that the Philosopher's Stone is an amplifier of alchemy. But for the two Edward brothers, this big red alchemy, this red philosopher's stone is so simple for them.

This philosopher's stone is a hand! It's the feet! It's the body! It's atonement for everything that has happened in the past! It is the most important point of your own trip!

Be......

"It's something you can't get your hands on."

Liu Mengchao was still standing behind the bishop, squinting at the Edward brothers in the distance. Although Liu Mengchao had never seen a so-called Fullmetal Alchemist before, he was sure of at least one thing...... That is, the Edward brothers, who are the protagonists of the story, are indeed like this in front of him in his memory.

What does this mean?

Thinking of this, the corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled.

It shows that they will not get the Philosopher's Stone and heal their bodies until at least the final ending. And now this order doesn't look like the final end, whether it's this stupid bishop who is almost desperate, or the simple girl who seems to be like a dragon behind him, it's like an appetizer before a big meal. Definitely not the most critical staple.

Could it be that where will the Stone of the Philosopher, which appeared in the bishop's hand, go? Was it snatched away by someone else, or did the Edward brothers finally let the bishop go because of the rat trap?

Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao turned around, his gaze quickly swept over the girl named Rosa, and then quietly stayed on the Edward brother in front of him.

"You want this stone too, don't you?"

Liu Mengchao can be regarded as knowingly asking, no matter how obvious it is, asking knowingly, directly in front of the Edward brothers, asking them what they can't ask for, and even tossing and turning at night.

"What do you want?"

Edward looked up. Although he was short, he was never an easy person to give into. Not only is it not easy to succumb, but it is even stronger like steel.

The principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange, which can be said to be completely imprinted in Edward's brain. What he did for this principle can be said to be unforgettable, and the prosthetic leg made of steel is a constant reminder of what he has experienced.

"I guess it shouldn't be that hard." Liu Mengchao grinned slightly, and said with a smile, "I heard that national alchemists can enjoy privileges that ordinary people can't enjoy, so I also want to be a national alchemist." ”

National Alchemist?

Edward was stunned for a moment, he never thought that there would be an alchemist who wanted to become a national alchemist. After all, this is a profession that will definitely go to the battlefield as long as the president gives an order. Not only that, but they will also be ridiculed as the military dogs of the army, the so-called lackeys.

Anyone would want this...... It was unexpected.

"Deal!"

Although unexpected. But Edward agreed to Liu Mengchao's request.

"Although I don't have the qualifications to review the national alchemist, I will recommend you."

"Deal," Liu Mengchao nodded and said with a smile at the sect leader in front of him. "I'm really sorry to use your treasure as a trade item, but ...... Give the Philosopher's Stone to the Fullmetal Alchemist. ”

Liu Mengchao said very kindly, but it concealed a meaning that there was absolutely no resistance to resist. After all. No matter who has a slender Hidden Blade around their neck, they will not think of resisting directly. No matter who you are, you shouldn't take your life as a joke lightly.

So the bishop nodded tremblingly, and said in an almost trembling voice, "The one I wear on the middle finger of my left hand is the Philosopher's Stone, and I will take it off and give it to him now." ”

The words fell, and before Liu Mengchao could answer, the bishop's right hand had already lightly rested on the middle finger of his left hand, resting on the red sage's stone that shone with a warm light.

"Be careful!"

Watching the bishop's movements, Edward suddenly cried out loudly. He was more familiar with the process of alchemy than many people, and not only that, but Edward had also seen the bishop use alchemy with his own eyes. Although this old man looks like a third-rate person, because of the amplification of the Philosopher's Stone, he can even refine items directly without using the refining array!

And now, this old man's actions are obviously to refine into items!

"Die!"

The next second Edward's voice sounded, the bishop's voice erupted. He had already calculated the location of Liu Mengchao and the time he had spent refining it with the Sage's Stone. With the help of this miraculous philosopher's stone in his hand, he was definitely able to kill this man before Liu Mengchao could react behind him, completely and completely!

"Coax!"

With a loud bang, Edward stared in amazement at what appeared before his eyes. It wasn't the first time he had seen alchemy, nor had he never seen the alchemy of the bishop. But such a swift and ferocious alchemy greatly surprised Edward.

It's too late......

Edward watched as the bishop's body instantly turned into a massive firearm, and the carbonized black armor spread directly along the bishop's skin.

Damn it!

Edward subconsciously frowned, he had a bad feeling that he might not be able to get the Philosopher's Stone.

"You can't move now, do you?"

The bishop slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Mengchao with a hideous expression. It was all so fast, and he believed that Liu Mengchao would never have such a fast reaction speed. The best evidence is that Liu Mengchao's Hidden Blade has been stuck in his throat, and it is stuck.

"Yes."

Liu Mengchao's gaze remained unchanged and nodded slowly.

"Ahh

And at this moment, the girl, who seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, suddenly screamed. Just because she saw a bright red flower, blooming in front of his eyes.

"My hands are so fast that I can't react when I kill someone."

Liu Mengchao looked at the bishop's throat expressionlessly and said coldly.

The Bishop's eyes widened, subconsciously trying to see the top of his neck. Unfortunately, his gaze did not give him what he wanted.

But he still saw that scene after all.

Blood, burst out!

This blood, warm. (To be continued......)
