As soon as he walked out of the gate of the military police headquarters, Liu Mengchao had already seen the person standing in front of him. It may be too much to say that he is a friend he has not seen for a long time, but it is quite appropriate to say that he is one of the few friends of Liu Mengchao in this world.

"Yo, Edward," Liu Mengchao said, turning his head to look at Alphonse standing behind Edward, and laughed directly, "And Alphons, long time no see." ”

Standing at the door waiting for Liu Mengchao were the two Edward brothers. They all had joisie smiles on their faces.

"Liu Mengchao......" Edward took the first step and walked to Liu Mengchao's side, the expression on his face was so happy and happy, "On the way home, we encountered something amazing. ”

Something amazing?

Liu Mengchao glanced at Edward's excited expression, and then at the excited look on his younger brother Alphons' face, and his heart was already instantly clear.

Needless to say, it must have been the Edward brothers who found the clue to the Philosopher's Stone.

"The Philosopher's Stone?"

Liu Mengchao raised his eyes and asked directly with a smile. Edward heard Liu Mengchao's words, smiled and nodded.

"Indeed, on our way home with Major Armstrong, we met the alchemist who had been involved in the study of the Philosopher's Stone. Although he is no longer in the center, he still left a research note on the Philosopher's Stone in the center, in other words, as long as we find his research notes, we can re-refine the Philosopher's Stone. ”

So fast?

Liu Mengchao listened to Edward's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl. This speed is really a bit unexpected. Originally, I thought that something like the Philosopher's Stone would only appear until the end of the whole story. Unexpectedly, the result was really like a cabbage on a rotten street, and the two Edward brothers just went out for a spin, and the result was already discovered?

Not bad, not bad.

Liu Mengchao nodded slowly, he was very satisfied with the situation in front of him. After all. In this way, the time between yourself and yourself in this world must be getting shorter and shorter, right? He should soon be able to figure out what Chu Zhi's purpose is.

"By the way, Liu Mengchao, how is the assessment of your national alchemist?" Edward watched Liu Mengchao come out of the gendarmerie headquarters, and couldn't help but remember the truth about his previous participation in the national alchemist examination.

"Have you ever made that triangular stool?" As he spoke, Edward squatted down and pressed his hands lightly to the ground. Suddenly, an alchemy product that was exactly the same as the stool made by Liu Mengchao just now had appeared in front of Liu Mengchao.

"I don't know when this triangular stool is the product of alchemy." Edward looked at Liu Mengchao, who nodded slowly, and said with a smile, "But according to what we know, as long as the alchemist sits on it, the seat will not collapse." But if you don't know alchemy. Or if you don't have alchemy qualifications, once you sit on this chair, you will fall directly. ”

Edward said, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

"Looking at Liu Mengchao, you must have passed the written test and the interview, right?"

Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded.

"Awesome!"

Edward was heartily amazed. "Not as young as the youngest alchemist in your country." Liu Mengchao said with a smile, and looked back at the military police headquarters behind him, "When I come here again, it's time for the operation assessment, right?" ”

"Well, let you refine the operation assessment on the spot. Maybe the president will be there to watch it in person. ”

The Great President?

As soon as he heard Edward's words, Liu Mengchao's brows couldn't help frowning. He seemed to have met the man whom Edward called the Great President.

"Is it an old man with an eyepatch in his left eye?"

"Hmm!"

Edward nodded vigorously. Liu Mengchao laughed directly after seeing it. Speaking of which, I've already met once.

The final assessment of the national alchemist should start soon, right?

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"The next national alchemist candidate, Liu Mengchao, please come in."

The familiar voice sounded in Liu Mengchao's ears again. It had been three days since Liu Mengchao participated in the interview of the National Alchemist. Just like the previous president's affirmation. Liu Mengchao directly passed the interview and came to the scene of the last test.

On-site assessment, this level is mainly to test the proficiency of an alchemist in the use of alchemy. After all, state alchemists in general. They are all to be thrown directly into the battlefield as humanoid weapons. As a country that is still at war, such a move is essential.

"We meet again, young man."

As soon as I walked into the exam room. Liu Mengchao had already seen the old man standing at the front. No, although he looks about fifty years old, he still has long black hair, and the whole person looks lean and strong, which always makes people unconsciously raise their vigilance.

"Great President."

Liu Mengchao said slowly and bowed slightly.

"Let's make a long story short." Looking at Liu Mengchao, who had already finished saluting, the president looked at Liu Mengchao with his single right eye, and said with a smile, "I have already received Roy. Mastan has reported that you've been looking forward to your unique alchemy for a long time. ”

"As you wish."

Liu Mengchao smiled slightly, and spread his hands directly in the air.

"This is my alchemy, mirage."

Liu Mengchao said slowly, and as her words fell, bursts of smoke instantly filled the entire examination room. The smoke seemed to be like a monster with hands and feet, but in the blink of an eye, it was already filled with the real examination room.

"Sure enough, you can't see anything?"

At this moment, the voice of the great president came out of the fog.

"It seems that you can distort the sunlight to distort people's vision!"

Together with the president's voice of admiration, the entire examination room was filled with admiration in an instant.

It's just that it seems that Liu Mengchao's alchemy is still not over, and I saw that the fog that originally permeated the entire examination room suddenly dissipated, revealing the figure of Liu Mengchao standing in the center.

One...... Two...... Three......

"What is this?" The president's one-eyed search for Liu Mengchao's body, and suddenly stopped, "So many identical puppets...... That's Roy. Mastan reported to me ......"

"Mirrors. My second alchemy. “

Liu Mengchao said with a smile. (To be continued......)
