Chapter 406: Another Man Who Lost Too
Edward and Alphonse were 16 and 14 years old respectively, and although the two brothers mastered magical alchemy, after leaving the city of Ulduar, both Miria and Destier took care of them as children. However, once Dezel accidentally flipped through the record report written by Edward and looked at Xiaodouzi differently, which recorded in detail the customs and customs of the Kingdom of Saxony, and described social institutions, industrial institutions, and religious beliefs.
The most noteworthy of Destel's attention in this report is the record of the Temple, considering that there is very little information about the two major religious organizations on the mainland, even in the city of Ulduar. After all, the memory of the dragon king inherited by Yalin is only the situation on the continent two thousand years ago, and all kinds of intelligence materials are obviously outdated, and until now, Yalin has been trying to find out how to get information from the mouths of the archmage Faroen and some captives.
Although Yalin hopes to get more information about the Holy See and the Holy Capital, the identity of the White Dragon King is too sensitive, both the Holy See and the Holy Capital are their enemies in some ways, so once Miriya and the others reveal their identities, it will be an unimaginably bad situation. For this reason, the two Elric brothers have been quietly running into the temple several times, and Miria has been grounding them all the time. However, it wasn't until the last time someone from the Central Holy Capital wanted to recruit the two brothers to go to the western part of the continent that the two began to minimize contact with the temple personnel as if they had woken up, and Miria relaxed the restrictions on the two brothers.
And yesterday things suddenly changed!
Edward and Alphonse didn't return until noon today after they went out yesterday! If it were Gus and Kenjiro before, Miria wouldn't have any doubts, after all, both of them are adults, and sometimes going out for a little bit may be delayed, but as children in age, Edward and Alphons, the two little ghosts will return to their homes to sleep every night, and they never return at night.
At noon the next day, Miria couldn't sit still and started, and Destier tried to contact the two brothers with a magic guide after learning about the situation. However, it was found that the communication of the magic guide seemed to be blocked by some kind of force, and Edward and Al could not be contacted anyway, and finally Dezel realized that something might be wrong and asked Miria to find the two first, and then Dezel immediately contacted the white dragon Cutras, and then sent a message to Arin.
From the guard at the door, it was learned that the two brothers had gone in the direction of the city's commercial street after going out yesterday, and the guard heard from the conversation between the two brothers that the two seemed to be going to buy some alchemy materials.
After learning the news, thinking that the two brothers had been browsing books about potion concoction recently, Miriya immediately set off to the shopping street, especially the shops where the two brothers were caught a few times ago became the focus of Miriya's search. The blessing of Tor Alphons' striking armor shape. It was easy for Miria to find some clues from the nearby merchants, the two brothers had indeed been here yesterday, and Edward had bought a roasted chicken wing from a nearby stall.
But here, the clue was interrupted, and Miriya, who had been looking for nothing all afternoon, couldn't help but sit on the stone bench next to her in distress and rested, thinking about where the two might go. In the end, the only place Miria got out of was the temple, but even if the two of them went anywhere, they wouldn't stay up all night, could it be that the people in the temple persuaded the two to go to the western part of the continent?
If that's the case, the two of them should come back and say hello, it's impossible to disappear mysteriously like this!
In an instant, a hint of gloom flashed in Miria's eyes, and after all kinds of considerations, Miriya could only prepare for the worst.
Removed the stored equipment from the space bracelet. Carrying a great sword and a ring on her back, Miriya quickly rushed to the temple, and if the worst really happened, then Miriya would probably have to use force.
It was almost time for dinner to come out and buy food, and compared to the sparsely populated desolate scene when they first came to the city, after the war with the Oug barbarians, most of the soldiers on the front line had been disarmed and returned to the fields except to ensure the necessary number, and the kingdom of Saxony was like a seriously wounded patient who had finally begun to gradually recover his hematopoietic function.
Along the way, Miria didn't have time to pay attention to the changes in the royal capital of Saxony, and halfway through Miria met the temple priestess Elena who had a relationship with her before, and at this moment the priestess also took two temple personnel and seemed to be anxiously looking for something.
When she noticed Miria in a ring dress, Elena took the initiative to talk to Miria, and it was then that Miria learned from the other party that Tia, the maid of the original temple, was also missing. It was also yesterday, and Tia, as usual, was ready to go shopping on the street to buy something, but it was gone. The temple immediately sent someone out to look for it, but found Tia as if she was missing.
Tia's parents were both Saxons, who had been killed in the raids of the Ogerbarians more than a decade ago, and the Temple had taken in many orphans who had lost their parents, and Tia was one of them. Because Tia has been well-behaved since she was a child, Elena also deliberately left Tia to raise, although Tia is just a maid, but in terms of feelings, the priestess who has not married and had children has always regarded Tia as half a daughter, and this time Tia's sudden disappearance made Elena a a little unable to sit still and come to find her whereabouts in person.
At first, Elena also considered whether Tia would run to find the two Elric brothers, after all, during this time, Elena could also see that Tia seemed to have a good impression of the two brothers, especially the big man armor Alphonse. But when Miria learned that the two Erlik brothers were also missing, and the time of disappearance happened to be the same time as Tia, Elena and Miria couldn't help but look at each other, and an ominous premonition welled up in the minds of the two women.
However, at this moment, the two Elric brothers, whom Miria is worried about, are experiencing an extremely dangerous rescue operation, and the target of the rescue is Tia, whom the priestess Elena is worried about!

Rewind time by one dayββ
After learning about the elixir of regenerating limbs from the mouth of the Moon Priest Grant. In order to restore his body, Edward became obsessed with the preparation of potions, and as a national alchemist, Edward had a foundation in chemistry and biology, and learned the preparation of potions very quickly. After the first few failures, Edward had succeeded in concocting a rudimentary vial of healing, which was of low purity, but it was indeed successful. In order to achieve the level of concocting limb regeneration potions, Edward has been collecting various materials for practice and practice during this time, and the little pocket money he gets from Miria on weekdays is used to buy various materials.
After flipping through the books, Edward determined the proportion of several potion materials and invited Al to go out with him, and he had been in the city for a long time, and the two brothers basically knew the layout of the whole city, and the owners of the shops PΓΉ that Edward frequented knew the pair of conspicuous brothers, especially Alphonse's armor style, which was almost unforgettable.
"The most important thing is that Ning Yehua is too expensive, and the money in my hand is not enough at allββ" Looking at the list of materials, Edward muttered.
Alphonse patted Edward helplessly: "From time to time, brother, you always like to buy things to eat, we don't have much money, but it's all wasted!"
"I'm sorry Al~ It's just that I haven't seen a lot of food, and I just want to taste it. β
Edward smiled helplessly, although he could get some funds in Miriya's hands from time to time, but these funds were still too small after all, plus the potion preparation was originally a profitable thing, and its relative materials were naturally rising. Edward, who felt shy about his purse, even had the idea of refining gold, although refining gold was a crime in the original world, but in the other world it was not a big deal, but fortunately, Alphonse, who had a pure personality, stopped his brother's crooked thoughts.
When the two brothers walked to the shopping street, they unexpectedly found a familiar figure not far away, Tia, the maid in the Ice Maiden Temple.
"ββIs that brother going to say hello?" Alphonse was stunned when he saw Tia, and asked his brother for advice.
ββββββ
Edward was also very embarrassed, after all, he and Al had received too much attention from the Holy Capital before, considering Arin's request and Miriah's repeated advice, the two had to stop contact with the people of the Holy Capital. But after all, Tia had known herself and Al from the beginning, and this simple beautiful girl had no ill will when she checked the information in the temple, and Tia often brought some refreshments to entertain herself and Al. Isn't it a little unkind to see others still avoiding it now?
Seeing that his brother hesitated, Alphonse lowered his head and whispered in Edward's ear: "Let's just say hello to Tia, let's just think of it as a casual meeting." β
"Hmm~ okay, Al~ say hello and let's go. β
Edward thought about it and agreed with Al's opinion, and the inadvertent meeting would not cause any big trouble, just say hello to Tia and go shopping and return.
Just as he was about to get up to say hello to Tia, he suddenly noticed a woman in a dark brown dress running over to talk to Tia first, the woman's face was very anxious as if she was asking Tia for something, and then Tia turned into the side of the alley in front of the two brothers. Edward and Al crept up and found Tia walking with the woman into a non-beaten shop.
"Well, are we going to follow up, brother!" Al asked Edward.
"Wait a minute, it's too obvious to go in like this, let's wait for Tia to come out and talk. Edward snorted, crouched to the side, and continued to check the list of materials.
And just like that, Alphonse, who had been staring at the shop, didn't notice that Tia was coming out. (To be continued......)
