When the long is the long......

The train drove on the tracks, and in Liu Mengchao's view, it looked like a train from the last century was moving, and the locomotive that used the steam engine to advance was the means of transportation that Liu Mengchao and his party were riding at this moment.

"Your brother likes to sleep."

Liu Mengchao pillowed his head with one hand, looking at the constantly jumping scenery outside the window, and said with a smile to Alphons, who was sitting in front of him.

"My brother said that if you sleep more, it will be easier to grow taller."

Alphonse raised his head and looked at Liu Mengchao and said slowly. Through this short period of time together, Liu Mengchao has already felt that Edward and his brother have completely opposite personalities.

Both brothers were extremely resolute people, but in some ways, Alphonse, as the younger brother, was more delicate, or rather kinder. If you have to use an analogy, Edward as the elder brother is like a tough sword, and the younger brother is an extremely resilient wire. It's all steel, but it's not the same when you look closer. This is how these two brothers feel to Liu Mengchao.

"Can I get taller by sleeping more?" Liu Mengchao tilted his head, looked at Edward who was asleep, and couldn't help laughing, "Height can't be forced, I think it's more reliable to let Edward wear higher height shoes." ”

Listening to Liu Mengchao's words, Alphonse subconsciously wanted to laugh out loud, but he seemed to have some scruples, if he laughed at his brother directly in front of outsiders like this, it was really not a good behavior, right?

Thinking of this, Alphonse subconsciously fell silent. The two of them looked at each other and fell silent, which was not a good experience, at least in Liu Mengchao's opinion.

"You ...... when you were young"

"My mother raised us as children." Without waiting for Liu Mengchao to finish speaking, Alphonse had already answered Liu Mengchao's question directly, "For the image of our father, both of us only have a very vague shadow. ”

"Did you grow up with your mother?"

Liu Mengchao listened to Alphonse's words. But he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"That's not bad."

"Not bad?"

Listening to Liu Mengchao's words, Alphonse was very puzzled. He couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Liu Mengchao's eyes, and asked a little timidly.

"Why do you say that?"

"Hmmm......"

Liu Mengchao groaned, and slowly looked at the two brothers Edward and Alphonse in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his past. Although it is said that the past is like the wind, it can always be easily scattered in the memories of the past. But Liu Mengchao still can't forget his childhood.

"Without a mother and father, I can say that I grew up alone." Liu Mengchao said, his fingers slowly rubbing. As if grinding his own memories that have been extremely broken, "I remember their memories very well to my father or mother, but I don't think I have as pleasant childhood memories as yours." ”

"Really......"

Alphonse was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Liu Mengchao's childhood didn't seem to be as happy as he and Edward. Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his head and asked subconsciously.

"So Liu Mengchao, do you have any brothers?"

"Brother!?"

The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth suddenly opened, and a silent sneer appeared on the corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth. He smiled so easily, and smiled so meaningfully. It seems that everything in front of me is too ridiculous to tell the story.

"Yes, there is a brother who curses each other."

Curse each other?!

Alphonse was even more surprised this time, unable to speak. Probably in the mind of this teenager, there is still no such concept. How could brothers, who were supposed to be siblings of the same mother, hate and curse each other? Brothers should not help each other. Do you help each other?!

Alphonse was speechless, but Liu Mengchao was not surprised by such a sight. Although he did not have a deep relationship with the Edward brothers, the two brothers were very simple people with pure goals. People are also very strong. Interacting with such a brother made Liu Mengchao feel a little relaxed.

"That...... Liu Mengchao, I know you've just come to this country. Alphonse was silent for a moment. I found another topic to break the awkward silence.

"Sort of."

Liu Mengchao nodded.

"This ...... Because our country has some disputes with neighboring countries, it is still in a wartime system, and the army is the top priority. And the national alchemist is actually a humanoid weapon of the army. Although he is only a teenager, Alphonse is still more familiar with the country than Liu Mengchao, "From the map, our country looks like a complete circle. ”

"Round?"

"Yes, round."

Finding that Liu Mengchao seemed to be somewhat interested in such a topic, Alphonse's voice couldn't help but rise.

"Leol, whom we just left, actually belongs to the East. If we are divided by the level of national turmoil, the East is the most unstable place. Alphonse was stunned for a moment, then continued, "There was a rebellion here, so it hasn't recovered until now. On the other hand, the most stable place is the center, which is the place where those people tell you to go. “

Central?

Liu Mengchao nodded slightly. In other words, the center is the capital of the country?

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

"So according to your opinion, we are going to go to Dongcheng first, and then transfer there to the center?"

"Exactly, but before that, in order for you to become a national alchemist, we have to let you meet someone." Alphonse looked at his brother and couldn't help but fall into the memory, "He's a great man, and if it weren't for him, the two of us might still be at home." ”

"People from the army?"

Liu Mengchao said extremely keenly.

"Yes, his rank is colonel, and his age is surprisingly young for his position." Alphonse nodded slightly, "He's in the headquarters of the East City right now. ”

"But there's more to it than that, right?"

Liu Mengchao's eyes narrowed and said with a smile.

"Yes, he is the one who has come to invite the two of us brothers to become national alchemists. I think Liu Mengchao, if you want to become a national alchemist, if you use his help, you should take a lot of detours. ”

"So...... What about the name? ”

"Roy? Mastan, alchemist of flames. (To be continued......)
