"Lieutenant Colonel Kimberley, is it an enemy?" A group of soldiers rushed over at the sound and raised their guns to guard the billowing smoke.

"No, it's just cockroaches." Kimblly thought for a moment, then added, "I can't physically accept this creature. ”

Incidentally, whether before or after he was released from prison, he made the landlord furious because he exploded cockroaches at home, and he was not kicked out because of his status as a national alchemist and his bold compensation fee.

"Huh?" The soldiers stared blankly at the tentacle-like tufts of hair sticking out of Kimberly's head, and no matter how they looked at it, they thought it was a cockroach-like hairstyle, and they would definitely believe it when they said that Kimblly was an insect lover.

Kimberley, who was unaware of this, frowned and said, "Is there any problem?" ”

"No...... Ahem, then let's follow the predetermined route first, and ask Lieutenant Colonel Kimberley to be careful. "The soldiers, who did not dare to tell the truth, returned the way they came.

Until the soldiers walked away, Kimbury did not resume his progress, but raised his head to look at the tops of the buildings on both sides, and said to himself: "To tell you the truth, I was indeed just blowing cockroaches just now, but I didn't expect to accidentally blow up the breath of a few cockroaches that grew relatively large...... Don't plan to show up yet? ”

Three figures descended from the sky, moving swiftly and silently.

At the same time, there were people refining at the entrance and exit of the street, blocking the way with stone walls, and even if the soldiers just went and returned, they could not enter for a while.

"It doesn't look like Gulid's henchmen." Kimbri's eyes became serious, even with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, he had just been released from prison and his physical strength had not recovered, and it was difficult to deal with three enemies who moved so quickly at the same time, not to mention that there were at least two alchemists lurking next to him, "...... Who are you? ”

Although he has never officially met with Kimbri, Edward is still a national alchemist after all, and the brothers' appearance is super recognizable, a dwarf and a armor are not covered up by disguise, and Yao Lin is responsible for negotiating first: "It doesn't matter who we are, Red Lotus Alchemist, we are here for the Philosopher's Stone on your body." ”

Kimbri's face did not change, and he tried to say: "The Stone of the Philosopher? What the hell are you talking about, who is spreading this nonsense? ”

"The present god - Lyle." Yao Lin said in a deep voice.

Kimberly's pupils constricted, and Lyle's name meant a lot to him, and he decided to end the lie as a sign of respect: "There is no way, the strongest alchemist in the world, when I fight, I should find out that my alchemy ignores the principle of equivalent exchange." ”

“…… That is, you admit it. Yao Lin involuntarily clenched the hilt of his sword, and traveled thousands of miles from the new country to Amestris, and climbed through a large desert on the way, and the things he had been searching for were finally close at hand.

Kimbury's abdomen contracted inward, his mouth bulged, and when he opened his mouth again, his teeth bit two philosopher's stones, one spherical and one flat: "This is what you want~"

"Hand it over!" Yao Lin stretched out his hand, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"That's not good, this is a treasure that I'd rather die than hand it over, and if you want to take it, you can rummage through my corpse." Kimblly took the Philosopher's Stone in his mouth and said with a smile, "Before the war, there is a rare opportunity, how about exchanging information?" ”

Yao Lin nodded, this was exactly what he wanted: "It's okay, there are also people on our side who want to know who refined this inhuman thing, and you shouldn't have the conditions if you have been in prison." ”

"I see, Lord Lyle already knows that the raw material of the Philosopher's Stone is the human soul." Although he only learned about it recently through the [Gate of Truth], he didn't know it at all during the Ishvar War, "So, now that you know the nature of the Philosopher's Stone, do you plan to continue using it?" ”

"Why not?" Yao Lin had a clear conscience about this, "Before the body dies, the soul can go back, after the body dies, the Philosopher's Stone is just a cage to bind the soul of the dead, and it is a relief for them to use it as soon as possible." ”

Kimberley grinned and sneered, "Huh~ Is that how you justified your actions in such a convenient way? ”

Yao Lin shook his head and said, "I'm not an alchemist, so I don't know what's inside the Gate of Truth, but since Lord Lyle told me that if you can't reach the end, then there will never be a beginning], I have no reason not to believe it!" ”

"The Gate of Truth...... Interestingly, the theory of soul reincarnation turned out to be correct. Kimblly said that he had never opened the door of truth, and that there was no reason to question the answers given by those who had already entered.

Yao Lin waved his short knife and said loudly, "Kimberly, now it's your turn to answer my question." ”

"According to the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy, I can't seem to just say some ambiguous answers to this truth that can affect the understanding of the meaning of life." Kimblly chuckled and decided to betray his employer, "There is a group of androids left over from ancient times hidden under this country, and they are planning to arrange the land to refine the souls of all the people of Amestris into the Philosopher's Stone, and make the original androids become gods, and my Philosopher's Stone is just a small work reward." ”

"What did you say!?" Yao Lin's master and servant were shocked.

"Kimberley, is what you just said true!"

"Brother, brother! So, Wen Li and her mother-in-law ...... And everyone! ”

The Elric brothers, who had been lurking, could no longer hide and jumped out to reveal their true colors.

"Huh?" Kimberley looked at the two of them in surprise, "It turns out that it is the Elric brothers who have been lurking...... Oh, it's really interesting, is one of the 'human pillars' needed for the land refining array to discover the truth early? ”

"Human pillars?" Edward was stunned.

However, Kimberly didn't intend to continue to explain, and the exchange of information ended here: "Among the androids, there is a guy named 'Envi' who is good at changing appearances, please keep it secret when you exchange information in private, I really want to see which side is more powerful, [the android who intends to become a god] or the [human who is so strong that it is called a god], I don't want to be an enemy of the android side for the time being~"

Although he is also looking forward to fighting Lyle, Kimberley knows very well that he must die in the end when he fights alone, the only question is how long he can last, and it is possible to win by joining hands with the androids, but it is not in line with his aesthetics.

The coolest thing is really the melon-eating masses of the century, but unfortunately it was the most unattainable step.

"Not good! He's running away! Yao Lin shouted a warning.

"I'm not in good health, please allow me to recuperate for a while." Kimburi pressed his hands to the ground, draining the energy of the Philosopher's Stone, generating a large number of bombs from the clods of dirt that should not be able to refine explosives, "Of course, if you have the ability to live. ”

An explosion broke out across the street. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
