Edward stood beside his brother Alphons, who had been reduced to armor, his scarlet robes swaying gently in the darkness. I saw a pair of bright golden eyes staring straight at the bishop in front of him.

The bishop was dressed in a black robe, and three white clasps fastened the two large plackets.

"Welcome to our holy church."

The bishop said as he paced down the stairs. His pace was unhurried, and he looked like he was confident. Liu Mengchao stood in the shadows, obviously the bishop was about to pass in front of Liu Mengchao, but the bishop subconsciously ignored the place where Liu Mengchao was.

This is the ability that Liu Mengchao's Assassin's Creed has strengthened, and the so-called Assassin's Creed Liu Mengchao has not understood until this moment. It is the ability to maximize one's sixth sense, and perhaps an assassin should have been discovered at a glance by an onlooker, but in the eyes of those who have experienced it, he is in the corner of their consciousness. And this corner is not something that can be achieved by experience or training, it comes entirely from one's sixth sense.

Liu Mengchao was now using his sixth sense, standing quietly in the blind spot of the Bishop and the Edward brothers. Liu Mengchao was also moving with the bishop, but he slowly lifted his feet and landed gently. It wasn't slow, but it didn't make a sound like a feather.

The bishop didn't notice Liu Mengchao beside him at all, and the corners of his mouth grinned, squeezing out a confident smile.

"Welcome, welcome to our temple." As he spoke, the bishop held on to the stairs with one hand, his gaze suddenly softened, and he asked Brother Edward with great kindness, "Have you come to receive the doctrine of God?" ”

Doctrine?

Edward pursed his lips and sneered silently. In his view, it was not so much doctrine. It's not so much a transaction. A straightforward transaction, in line with the principles of alchemy, a transaction of equivalent exchange.

"Please tell us...... What kind of alchemy is used to deceive believers. ”

As he spoke, Edward's gaze delicately swept over the armor of his younger brother Alphons, who had become armor, and the corners of his mouth grinned, waiting for the bishop's answer.

"Please don't compare alchemy with my 'miracle', let you see it with your own eyes, I think you will know that my 'miracle' is really different from alchemy."

The Bishop stabbed his jaw like a sword at Brother Edward. He made no secret of the smug and contemptuous look in his eyes. It was as if this had become an instinct that had been born to the bishop.

"I've seen it." Edward said, spreading his hands lightly, "I can't understand how you managed to achieve that in defiance of the principles of alchemy. ”

"I'll tell you all." The bishop shook his head helplessly, but the smile on his face grew stronger. I saw him stretch out his index finger and lightly tapped his head, "Use your genius mind, genius alchemist." As I have already said, I am not using alchemy, but what is in my head. Something that can be achieved if I want to. ”

"Sneer......"

Edward grinned. He sneered. He raised his head directly, and his eyes were full of mockery, as if he was saying that we already knew all this, so why not open the skylight and explain this matter clearly.

"You used the Philosopher's Stone, right?"

Stunned slightly, the bishop's already narrowed eyes narrowed even tighter, and he tried to raise his mouth higher. But it only made his smile stiffer.

"I suppose the ring on your hand is the Philosopher's Stone, right?"

The corners of Edward's mouth twitched. Said with a smile.

A ring on the finger?

Unbeknownst to Edward, there was another person in the basement. Liu Mengchao, who was in the dim light, narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze on the bishop's left hand. I saw that the man's middle finger did indeed carry a ring encrusted with rubies.

The material of the ring looked a little ordinary, nothing more than a mixed alloy of gold and silver, but the color of the ruby attracted Liu Mengchao's attention in an instant. I saw the corners of his mouth curled up innorantly, and a smile appeared on Liu Mengchao's face at this moment.

"That red gem is the Philosopher's Stone, right?"

Liu Mengchao thought to himself in his heart, then in other words, his purpose is this gem that looks extremely gorgeous. If I hadn't followed the bishop all the way and watched the conversation between Brother Edward and this old man, I'm afraid I wouldn't know which Philosopher's Stone was until now, right?

It's just that no one knows what Liu Mengchao thinks in his heart after all, he squatted on the highest position, and walking through the stairs is where the bishop is standing now, let alone Edward, who is standing on the lowest floor.

Little Douding seems to be particularly fond of standing in position?

Liu Mengchao frowned, thought for a moment, and laughed unconsciously. It's just an illusion on your own. Liu Mengchao was still off the line there, and the bishop seemed to have entered the state, as if every trick or boss would do, sneered, expressed his disdain, and then slowly mocked.

"Hmph...... Worthy of being a national alchemist, everything is seen through by you. ”

As he spoke, the bishop's head jerked up, as if to express his disdain.

"Well answered! The Philosopher's Stone is an amplification artifact that can only be found in legends, and we alchemists can use it for a very small price! ”

When the bishop said this, the whole person was very excited, and Liu Mengchao could even see his slightly stinky soul through the man's excited words.

However, as soon as the words fell, Edward's whole body began to tremble subconsciously, not because of cold or fear, but just because of Edward's feelings.

Excited!

What I was looking for has finally appeared in front of my eyes. It's all so close, as long as you reach out your hand, everything is within reach. Restore your own body, restore your brother's body, and end this journey that seems to be atonement.

For a moment, even hidden in the darkness, Liu Mengchao could still see Edward's golden eyes begin to shine, like two furnace fires that will never be extinguished, calcining steel.

"I looked for ...... It's been a long time! ”

Edward's voice was more like squeezing out of his teeth, word by word, word by word.

"Hmph, who wouldn't want such a beautiful stone?" The Bishop sneered, "You want him too, don't you?" For what? Honor, or money? ”

"You are, impostor bishop. What do you want to get out of this stone? If it's money, you just have to use that stone, and you will have as much money as you want. ”

Shaking his head slowly, the Bishop looked at Edward, a look of compassion in his eyes. He didn't pity the boy's plight, he just laughed at the boy's ignorance.

"I don't want money, no, I want money, but without me opening my mouth, the believers who worship me will willingly give it in both hands. So I need more docile believers who are willing to give their lives for me. It's remarkable, isn't it? Those believers will become an army that is not afraid of death! ”

The bishop said that his eyebrows were fluttering, and he almost danced in front of everyone.

"The preparations are almost over! Just wait and see! In a few years, the country will be mine! ”

Finally, the ecstasy in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and the bishop burst out laughing as wildly as never before.

Liu Mengchao and Edward made the same move at this time.

With a pout, a sarcastic smile bloomed at the corners of his mouth.

"I don't care about this kind of thing." Edward said, "Anyway, give me the Philosopher's Stone, and I'll treat it as if I hadn't heard anything about today." My purpose is only the Philosopher's Stone. Otherwise, I will tell your believers everything about today. ”

Edward's simple and clear words seemed to be like oil, which made the bishop's anger even stronger.

"They are so obsessed with me that they are all my faithful servants! No matter how much you try to persuade them, it's useless! Tell you, I'm just deceiving those idiot believers! ”

"Idiot ......"

The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth twitched, and he sneered silently. His eyes could clearly see that Alphonse had a man hidden in his armor.

If you think about it briefly, the only Rayt cultist who knows the Edward brothers is probably that girl named Rosa, right?

Liu Mengchao sneered silently.

In the distance, a wicked smile spread across Edward's face. I saw him retreat sharply and come to Alphonse's side, his palm directly on the edge of the breastplate.

"It's really your Excellency Bishop, and we've heard something amazing!"

As he spoke, Edward's hand jerked off, and the person hiding inside was immediately revealed in the hollow armor.

He has long reddish-brown hair and big watery eyes. There was an incredible look in his eyes.

"Your Excellency! Is everything you just said true? ”

The girl watched incredulously as she had always admired and trusted the bishop and said such a thing. The girl's delicate body was constantly trembling, and there was nothing more desperate than being deceived.

The bishop did not deny all this.

"That's right, I did deceive you! God's agents are deceitful or something! But...... As long as I have this gem, I may be able to complete the alchemy that alchemists have failed countless times since ancient times...... The human body is refined. The Bishop said, the corners of his mouth curled silently, "Resurrect your lover!" ”

"Rosa!"

Brother Edward subconsciously wanted to stop the girl who was already completely charmed. But the bishop beckoned gently, and the girl walked towards the bishop in despair.

"Rosa, you're a good boy, come here, come to me." (To be continued......)
