"Congratulations."

The sunlight outside the window shone in from behind the thick curtains, refracting on Liu Mengchao's face. I saw Liu Mengchao squinting his eyes and staring at the man sitting behind the table. The man had short hair, an eye patch over his right eye, and a dark blue military uniform.

"Great President."

Liu Mengchao said coldly, but there were not many good-looking smiles on his face that was illuminated by the sun. Maybe it's not accurate, but Liu Mengchao doesn't seem to have much affection for the big president sitting in front of him. If you insist on finding a reason, you can only say that the smell of this big president is too familiar to Liu Mengchao.

"I will give every qualified national alchemist a name." The president slowly raised his head, still with a kind smile on his face, making people look like a real person at all. After all, no one in a high position should be such a good talker, right? At least that's not what Liu Mengchao thinks. So he narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the great president sitting in front of him.

"My name?"

Liu Mengchao sat down as he spoke, and took the thin piece of paper from the president's hand. I saw that at the beginning, I wrote a lot of things about the national alchemist assessment, and detailed personal information about Liu Mengchao himself. And in the end, Liu Mengchao saw the most important thing for him.

Name, each national alchemist receives a name to represent his identity and alchemy. For example, Edward. Eric's national alchemist's name is Steel, and Roy, who met Liu Mengchao in the East City. Colonel Mastan's name is Flame, the Alchemist of Flame.

Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao himself was a little curious, he really wanted to know, what would be the name of his alchemy? "...... this?"

Looking at the words that appeared in front of him, Liu Mengchao's eyes instantly widened. This can't help but Liu Mengchao can't believe it. Or rather, he even felt that the entire military was joking with him.

"Is that my name?"

Liu Mengchao asked softly, but the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. Maybe even Liu Mengchao himself didn't find out that he was actually not very repulsive to this name, not only was it not repulsive, but he even liked it a little.

"The name...... From another point of view, it really suits my name. ”

Liu Mengchao said as he stood up from his chair. According to convention, Liu Mengchao should bow to the president, or salute or something like that. But Liu Mengchao simplified all of this in an instant. Liu Mengchao just stood up directly, and then walked in front of the president. In his hand he held the name of the national alchemist full of mockery.

"I'm looking forward to your performance...... My alchemist. ”

"Name, name, name?"

As soon as Brother Edward saw Liu Mengchao, he couldn't wait to ask, although he couldn't see the expression on his brother Alphonse's face, but Liu Mengchao knew everything just by looking at Edward's expression as he told me quickly.

"See for yourselves."

Liu Mengchao raised his hand and threw the original appointment letter directly, only to see that the fluttering white paper drew a beautiful arc in the air, and staggered to Edward's hand made of steel.

"...... this?" Edward looked at the name, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "The name sounds ......"

"Sound something?"

Alphonse said as he poked his head over and leaned over to his brother's side, staring at the words written on the standing paper.

"Fraud!?"

This was Alphonse's subconscious exclamation. After all, this name is not friendly to Liu Mengchao at all. It's as if this alchemist just deceives people.

"It's like accusing Liu Mengchao of you." Edward said subconsciously, and suddenly raised his head and glanced at Liu Mengchao, with an embarrassed expression on his face, after all, this is not a name that is too good.

"But it's impactful, isn't it?" Liu Mengchao's eyes narrowed. He laughed directly, "I originally thought it would be an entity name like fog, but I didn't expect it to be this." ”

said. Liu Mengchao shrugged casually and laughed.

"But this is fine, that is fine, for me, as long as I have the name of the alchemist of this country."

Liu Mengchao said with a smile, but only Liu Mengchao himself understood the matter. Because for Liu Mengchao, as long as he can stand on the same front as the Edward brothers, he will definitely be able to get closer to the core of the plot of the entire anime of Fullmetal Alchemist. In other words, it's about being able to get closer to what you need.

Chu Zhi had never said anything to himself, but he did have to practice the deal.

Equivalent exchange, Liu Mengchao has been in this world of Fullmetal Alchemist for a long time, and he has now almost figured out the rules of this world. In other words, if Chu Zhi must let himself enter this world, what he wants to achieve must also be related to this matter, right?

Liu Mengchao is not good at guessing what Chu Zhi is thinking, but Liu Mengchao can only work towards this aspect. Instead of waiting, it's better to make a last stand. Liu Mengchao has always held this idea and come to this point.

"That's right!"

Looking at Liu Mengchao's face, Edward was a little unsure whether he was going to say such a thing to Liu Mengchao.

"I was already the first to go to the National Library when you went to the Gendarmerie Headquarters today." Edward's brow relaxed, and he seemed to be in a good mood, "Alphonse and I found a little bit of information about the Philosopher's Stone there. ”

"Oh?" , Liu Mengchao frowned, and laughed directly, "What's going on?" ”

Edward turned his head and looked at his brother. invariably looked at Liu Mengchao.

"As we told you before, on our trip back to our hometown, we met the national alchemist who used to study the Philosopher's Stone." Edward said, but there seemed to be a look of joy on his face that could not be concealed, "He turned out to be a national alchemist, and I speculate that he must have started studying the Philosopher's Stone during the Battle of Ishvar's Annihilation. ”

Liu Mengchao nodded slowly, motioning for Edward to continue.

At the time of the Ishvar Annihilation, had the country already begun research on the Philosopher's Stone? "His name is Margot." Edward said, glancing at Alphonse standing behind him, and whispered, "When we found him, he was working as a doctor in an unknown town. And he has a philosopher's stone in his hand. ”

"You didn't grab it." Liu Mengchao said firmly, he knew that although the Edward brothers wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone to restore their bodies, they also had an extremely strong sense of morality. This kind of relationship, which was about to be thrown into the trash can by Liu Mengchao, still controlled the two Edward brothers extremely firmly.

"That's right! Now that we've seen the Philosopher's Stone. And Mr. Marg himself has refined it, and there is no reason why it is impossible for us to refine the Sage's Stone. Edward clenched his fist fiercely, and a look of determination was suddenly written on his face, "Although on the first day we arrived in the center. The second library, which houses the Philosopher's Stone, has burned down. But...... Liu Mengchao: Guess what we found? ”

What was found?

As soon as he saw Edward's excited look, Liu Mengchao laughed unconsciously. He seemed to be able to guess what Edward was going to say next.

"We later went directly to the general bibliography of the First National Library, as Alphonse and I both guessed. If it is about the refining of the Philosopher's Stone. There is a good chance that a copy will exist. ”

"But there wasn't." Liu Mengchao didn't wait for the Edward brothers to finish selling Guanzi, and he had already said the answer, "But I want to ...... Perhaps someone happened to have borrowed Margot's research materials. ”

The two Edward brothers looked like they were hell-eyed. looked at Liu Mengchao blankly, and it took a long time for the two of them to nod their heads slowly.

"Pretty much ......"

Alphonse said softly.

"We found a guy who had read all the library books." Edward had a look of surprise on his face, "I thought it was impossible to have such a memorable person, but I didn't expect that I would actually be able to see such a person in my lifetime. She read all the books in the second library, and in other words......"

"She's probably read Marg's research on the Philosopher's Stone, too."

"That's right!"

Edward nodded excitedly.

"Then I want to ...... The most important thing to do now is to get to her, right? Liu Mengchao said, his eyes narrowing directly, "If there are really people who don't want you to get this information, they should be ready to stop you from boring now, right?" ”

"We've thought of this for a long time." Edward laughed, "But I don't think they know what Yang's books we're looking for in the Second Library." ”

"What do you say?"

Listening to Edward's words, Liu Mengchao became a little confused. After all, according to Edward's words, they were going to the Second Library to look for Marg's research materials, how did they get here and become enemies who didn't know what kind of books they were looking for?

"It seems that Liu Mengchao, your memory about this has not been restored!" Edward looked at Liu Mengchao and laughed, "For alchemists, their research notes need to be kept secret. But on the other hand, there's no guarantee that our research notes won't fall into the wrong hands. ”

"Correspondingly, for us alchemists, we need to use some small means to ensure that our research materials are not read by others." Alphonse continued with Edward's words, "It's like my brother's research notes, which are actually written in the form of travel. If you don't know, if you just take a casual look, you will only think that it is a travel book. And Roy. Colonel Mastan's alchemical notes are also arranged in the lady's name, and look like a correspondence book and a diary. "Got it. With a simple layer of disguise, you can keep your research in a fog, and no one else will be able to read your research notes unless you tell someone else the code you have deciphered. “

"That's right!"

Alphonse nodded vigorously, a smile on his face.

"So...... You want to tell me...... Did you find such a document? ”

"Hmmm! I don't think the enemy would have thought of that, and we didn't go directly to the lady who had written down all the books yesterday, but told her to write it down today. Edward laughed as he spoke, "Just in case, we told her to write some other books under the guise of this." ”

"Where is her home?"

Liu Mengchao went straight to the point and said with a smile.

"Even Liu Mengchao, can't you wait?" Edward looked at Liu Mengchao's appearance and laughed, "Speaking of which, I've heard others say that she seems to be a complete bookworm, a person who doesn't pay attention to anything other than books. ”

"That's a lot of fun."

Liu Mengchao nodded slowly, and made an inviting gesture to Edward.

"What's her name?"

Under the back of the group gradually moving away, Liu Mengchao asked with a smile.

"Sesica."

This is Edward's answer.

—————————————————————————————————————

Three-story apartment?

Liu Mengchao raised his head and looked at the house that appeared in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly. People who live in such places really look a bit like bookworms on a tight budget.

"This is it!"

Edward's face was visibly full of excitement as well. I saw him walk forward quickly, and knock on the doorknob like a lion's head.

After a long time, there was no sound coming from inside the house.

"No one?"

Edward's face turned white in an instant.

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Liu Mengchao stepped forward with a smile and leaned on the door with one hand.

"There's someone inside."

Liu Mengchao turned his head and said with a smile at Edward. (To be continued......)
