Chapter 3 Capital Area
(Thanks to 0 Shangguan Phoenix 0, silently looking at me again, struggling for the reward and support)
Lyle's defeat of the Ametris army led to the declaration of independence in the Ishvar region, the small actions of the surrounding countries intent on taking advantage of the situation, the Skar brothers' encounter with Hohenheim during their covert investigation, and the safe return of the parents of a doctor of a mechanical armored technician. However, neither the [Territorial Refining Array] secretly arranged by Ah Shen nor the [Reverse Territorial Refining Array] secretly arranged by Hohenheim were affected by this war, and nothing changed in the eyes of the group of people who knew the dark side of this country.
As for Lyle, the protagonist of this epic war...... It was not so much exile as disgusted with the pseudo-gods and alchemists, and before the patriarch could figure out what to do with him, a hero whose hands were stained with blood, he picked up his luggage and never looked back, and traveled smuggled around the West.
Because the world's outstanding scientific and technological products only have "mechanical armored prosthetics", even the television has not yet been invented, and the way of information dissemination is backward, the average foreign citizen does not know what Lyle looks like, and the travel experience is actually passable. But due to the fact that the staff of the annoying governments will soon appear for various reasons, Lyle is still far from a "satisfactory life" because he cannot find a place to put down roots for a long time, let alone find a beautiful and hard-working and capable maid.
There was no special opportunity, and there was no overly strong desire, just feeling that it was "almost", and Lyle took the risk of exchanging one for one, and opened the [Door of Truth] with the theme of refining an artificial maid.
Despite the strength of his soul far superior to that of ordinary alchemists, Lyle was unable to withstand the truth of this world, and was defeated by a large amount of chaotic intelligence shock, only a few steps ahead of the others.
Finally, I have a little gain, I understand the soul from the official channels, I will no longer guess the hypothesis left and right like in my previous life, and I dare not say that I am right until I die, and I have also learned the technique of folding my palms together instead of refining the array, although this technique is not as practical as his tattoo-style combination refining array, as long as the person with a clear mind will not pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons for the sake of "good looks".
Unfortunately, there is no such high-end technique as "soul tempering" in this transitional world of science and supernatural abilities, and Lyle can only use the power of the reincarnation god to evolve himself in endless reincarnation, and cannot consciously make himself stronger.
- Of course, the current Lyle doesn't even know that "the soul is strong or weak", only that the soul can be regarded as an energy.
"It was a terrible country, but when I came to the metropolitan area, I felt even worse." Because the land refining array of Ah God has an impact on the energy of the earth's crust, as long as anyone who has studied alchemy will have the same feeling as Lyle now, there is nothing strange.
"However, if you want to have a so-called 'brilliant life', this is the best place to go." Because he had nothing to do, Lyle, who was in a panic, bought a car and ran to the Amestrisian capital area according to the recommendation of World Consciousness.
Of course, since it is not a mandatory order, if he does not find anything suspicious before he gets tired of traveling, if he thinks that what happened in Amestris is boring, if he thinks that what happened in Amestris is not good to stand in line, Lyle will choose to leave and will not stay here for a long time.
"The decoration of the restaurant in front is not bad, let's go to lunch first." Pull over.
Theoretically, Lyle can rely on the basic materials of alchemy + crustal energy + personal knowledge to refine food, and the food does not need to have a soul in it, but he has never done this kind of thing, and has always relied on alchemy to make money and spend money everywhere.
If there is a reliable maid, the lifestyle may be a little more frugal, but I have not found it.
(Bang!) A car across the road crashed headlong into a lamppost on the side of the road.
“?” Lyle, who was on his way to the hotel, looked at the scene of the car accident in the same way as ordinary passers-by.
It didn't take long to see a blonde female soldier with her hair coiled up getting out of the driver's seat of the car, seemingly uninjured.
"Tsk~ another road killer." Lyle didn't think much of it and walked into the hotel.

The human body is a very complex and complex science, and with the scientific level of this world, it is probably impossible to grasp the knowledge of even a single cell, and only Lyle and Ah Shen, who are in special circumstances, have all the knowledge of refining the human body. Please note that this is only the 'body', and the 'soul' inside is the hardest part to solve.
After the combination of the two, the alchemists who tried [Human Body Alchemy] did not end well. Over time, in the process of alchemy being taught by masters and apprentices, a taboo emerged because no one could afford the price, which was then interpreted as "people can get nothing without making any sacrifices, and they must pay the same price in order to get something".
However, alchemists are a group of seekers of truth, and there is always no shortage of warriors who tempt taboos.
Four years ago, 11-year-old Edward Elric and 10-year-old Alphonse Erric (henceforth referred to as Arle) violated this taboo in order to resurrect their mother, who died young. As a result, not only did they not let their mother live again, but the two brothers also paid a heavy price, Edward lost his left leg and Al lost all his body, and in order to keep Al in the world, Edward gave up his right arm and fixed his brother's soul to a suit of armor.
Edward, who realized his mistake, became a national alchemist in order to retrieve his body, joining the national government that had countless alchemists' research materials.
There are two directions of their research, one is the Philosopher's Stone, and the other is -
"...... the present human god appears in the capital!? Where is it! Tell me! "Yes, directly to Lyle for help.
"Calm down, Edward Elric." Originally, it was supposed to be a subordinate who poured coffee for him, but Roy Mastan, who was rarely turned around, put the coffee cup in front of the blonde female subordinate, sat next to it, and confirmed, "Lieutenant Hawke, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?" ”
“…… How could I be mistaken, even if tattoos on my face became the new fashion," Lisa Hawk Ai's face turned pale, and her body was still a little trembling, which did not match her previous capable image, "I can't forget the enemy who almost killed myself." ”
"What?!" Edward and Al exclaimed.
Hughes explained softly from the side, "All three of us fought in that war, and I was a little better, and I ran away as soon as I realized that the situation was wrong, but Lieutenant Hawk Ai tried to snipe at the present god, and the bullet she fired was fired back by a weapon that I don't know what it was, if it wasn't for the chaos of the battlefield, it would have ...... now."
"That monster, sniper, fire, explosion, whatever kind of attack he can disintegrate before it reaches his body." Roy clenched his fists, the only time he felt powerless on a non-rainy day, "What the hell is he doing here?" ”

Edward and Al looked at each other with nothing but excitement and anticipation in their eyes. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
