"Is this leaving? Didn't you just come back and see Theresa? ”

"I'm sorry, Beacon, I have to make a trip to Leor."

"Hey! Hohenheim! Standing under the eaves, Bikna shouted at her back in the rain, "What about your son?" Do you ignore them? ”

Hohenheim's back froze for a moment, but the next second, he walked into the rain again, without looking back, and his figure disappeared into the hazy mist.

He made a beeline for the train station, his rain boots darling across the muddy road to the platform.

"Give me a ticket to the western region, anywhere, the nearest train." Hohenheim pulled change and identification from his pocket.

"Okay, this is your ticket, please keep it." The conductor tore off a ticket and handed it to Hohenheim.

Hornheim clutched the letter in his hand, hurried to the steam train, found a place to sit, and stared out the window at the rainstorm, motionless, like a cold stone.

A few days later, late at night, Leor.

The climate here is dry, and it doesn't rain for ten years.

With a bright moon hanging in the cloudless night, Leor, who had lost Leto's religion, had regained stability despite a period of chaos, but under the organization represented by Rosai.

The night was unusually calm, and there was no one to be seen on the street.

In the moonlight, a shadow stood on a high rock, looking down.

"What a peaceful place, didn't Rashter and Gradoni do nothing?"

The man with many pigtails stretched his waist, bent his legs, and did a warm-up movement.

"Forget it, in short, the people are gathered, and the rest is to let them make trouble on their own."

"It's much more efficient for humans to kill each other than if I did it myself."

"Let's first become the appearance of that fat bishop, the resurrection of the dead sect leader by miracle and the coming of the crusade against heresy seems to be a very good excuse."

As the man spoke, there was an irregular surge on his body.

An unknown substance as black as oil covered his body, and his physique swelled rapidly, instantly turning into the dead Bishop of Gonaira.

Not only the facial features and body shape, but also the costumes have been restored.

"That's fine." He cleared his throat and coughed twice, even the Leto Sect guards, who had been with Gao Nairo for many years, couldn't hear the difference.

The man is an artificial human, Envi, he is the fourth artificial human created by the "father" with jealousy, and he can freely change his appearance, height, weight and voice, all of which can be restored without barriers.

Relying on this ability, he has provoked many wars in this land.

The war of annihilation of Ishvar many years ago was also the fuse he lit, and under the order of his "father", he imitated a moderate military officer, and shot an innocent young daughter in public, completely igniting Ishvar's anger, provoking wars and contradictions, and leaving a bloody mark on that land.

He was already familiar with this kind of thing, and humans were creatures that could be easily manipulated.

An eerie smile appeared on the mimic face, and he strode forward.

At this time, he suddenly heard someone talking behind him.

"It's amazing, can you teach me that trick just now? Is that also a type of alchemy? ”

The sound is very close, as if. It's like talking in his ear.

"Who is it?"

Envi jerked his head and looked at a young man in a white robe and a hood.

In a desert area like Leor, men and women, young and old, wear this airy and wide robe all year round, which can not only block the sun and sand, but also ventilate and dissipate heat.

But the man doesn't look like the natives of Leor, more like the people of the Midlands.

However, Envi's focus was not on the man's origins, he just wanted to know how the man came to be behind him.

Before the man spoke, he didn't even notice a breath.

This is too unreasonable, he is not a low-level creature who can only see things with his eyes, and the vision behind him is also within his envelope, but it is too strange that he can't see through the person in front of him

Envy felt uneasy for the first time, and his body squirmed again.

The lower half of the body is still the appearance of the fat bishop, but the upper body has become a huge monster.

Starting from the waist, a monster appeared as if it was about to break free from its body.

It looks like a misshapen, toothy and hairy green lizard, with a twisted human face wriggling on the surface of the lizard's skin, as if someone is trapped inside his body and unable to breathe.

This appearance is enough to scare ordinary people.

But the white-robed man in front of Enwei was indifferent, just quietly looked up at Enwei's head.

The white-robed man's eyes didn't have any emotion, he just stood there and scrutinized.

In the course of Envi's two hundred years of life, all the people he met, even the most brave and fearless warriors, would show wavering and fear when faced with his form.

This kind of scrutiny, Enwei has only seen in "Father-sama".

Only "Father", the person he created, looked at himself condescendingly like the white-robed man in front of him.

"Why are you looking at me like that!" Intense jealousy seeped out of Envi's heart: "It's just a mere human!" I'm going to gouge your eyes out! ”

He was jealous of the white-robed man's lightness, but in fact, he was the one who panicked in his heart, and he took the initiative just because he couldn't stand this calm.

Clap your hands, why don't you react at all!

You really think I'm a clown, don't you?

Envi is back to his true form, and this is just a wasteland outside of Reol anyway, and no one will know what is going on here.

He lunged towards the white-robed man, opening his mouth wide and biting down.

"No, don't you want to talk to me?" The white-robed man shook his head: "Then there is no way." ”

"It's useless to talk too much!" Envi's big mouth snapped down, as if the blade of the guillotine was crushing against the white-robed man's head.

But the expected bite did not appear, but something hard stuck in his teeth.

He couldn't bite it at all, his body was made of the Philosopher's Stone, which was stronger than steel, even if it was a lump of iron, he had to chew it up this time, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through that layer of defense.

He saw some kind of transparent crystal appear next to the white-robed man and wrap himself, but he didn't feel the alchemy's alchemy reaction.

"Bastard!" Envi was impatient and restless.

The twisted faces wailed, unleashing terrible resentment and energy.

He used the Philosopher's Stone and attacked with the purest of energy.

However, in the next instant, the crystals on the white-robed man's body spread to his whole body, enveloping his body.

Click. Enwei was locked in a transparent crystal by the white-robed man.

He could see, his eyes gurgling, but he couldn't make a sound, his body was completely locked, as if frozen into ice, and he lost his mobility.

From the outside, it looks like an oversized piece of amber with a lizard in it.

Enwei finally panicked, but he couldn't speak, and he couldn't even beg for mercy.

The white-robed man patted Enwei's face through the crystal, didn't speak, just smiled.

He just stood here and didn't leave, as if waiting for someone.

Soon after, someone came.

Hohenheim, who was still wearing rain boots, looked out from afar, looking at the huge "amber".

Hohenheim recognized it, it was the cyborg of the villain in the bottle.

He heard the voice of the soul, and the Philosopher's Stone itself was refined from the soul of a human.

"Mr. Hohenheim, I guess I'm not mistaken."

The young man in the white robe greeted Hohenheim.

"Is that you? The one who left the envelope at Beacon's house? Hohenheim took the envelope from his bosom: "Who are you!" Why did you find that village? ”

"My name is Ian." Ian said, "I know your son, Edward, and he introduced me there. ”

"Edward?" Hohenheim hesitated: "Do you have proof?" ”

"Nope." Ian shook his head: "But it's hard for you to verify the evidence, you and your son are not familiar with each other, you don't know what they like and hate, they even teach themselves alchemy." ”

"Is the refining array at the station also left by you?"

"Yes, if anyone arrives at Leor's station with that letter, I'll know that it was that letter that brought you here, isn't it, Mr. Hohenheim?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to tell you not to go to that village again."

"I can understand you, and it's hard for me to really trust someone I don't know." Ian leaned over Amber, "But Mr. Hohenheim, you should know this guy." ”

"His body is almost entirely made of Philosopher's Stone, and I've been staying with Leol for the last time, because I know that the next Blood Seal of the Realm Refining Array is in Leor, and someone will definitely come here to cause killing."

"The villain in the bottle, Homon Cruise, 400 years ago, he was born from the blood of a slave in a flask, deceived the king on the grounds of immortality, and refined all the people of the old kingdom into the Philosopher's Stone, 400 years later, he is not satisfied with the status quo, and wants to draw the land into a formation, sacrifice the lives of 50 million people in this land, and take away the power of God."

"This guy is the clone of the villain in the bottle, or Mr. Hohenheim, your doppelganger, because the villain in the bottle was born from your blood."

"I didn't call you here for any conspiracy or fellow, I have the same purpose as you, to stop the villain in the bottle."

Hohenheim didn't expect Ian to know so many secrets from four hundred years ago, when all the citizens of Xelxes were trained into the Philosopher's Stone, and only he and the villain in the bottle survived, so there were no records or documents left at all.

He had been wandering the land all these years and had never told anyone else about it.

He stared at the ugly lizard monster, in fact, he was the same as that guy, his body was full of philosopher's stones, in essence, he was no different from that monster, he was also a monster, and he was more advanced than that lizard, so he could live for four hundred years.

Ian knows more about him than his wife, and when he lived with Theresa, he never dared to mention the past, for fear that Theresa would be afraid of him and discriminate against him after learning about his abnormality.

Enwei inside the crystal also heard Ian's words clearly, and he realized that he had kicked the steel plate.

It was the first time he had heard of his father's origins.

The guy on the other side even looked the same as his father, and he was getting more and more flustered, if he could sweat, he was already sweating profusely.

I thought it was just an ordinary business trip, but I didn't expect to meet such a high-level opponent

"Mr. Hohenheim." Ian then said to Hohenheim, "I know you may not want to meddle here, but I don't think the inhabitants of Leor can let the villains in the bottle kill at will. ”

"People are not some kind of resource, everyone thinks, there are joys and sorrows, their lives are alive, I hope you can cooperate with me, and together we can stop this massacre."

Hohenheim shook his head: "You don't know anything about the villain in the bottle, even alchemy was brought to this world by him." ”

Hohenheim's voice was low: "Even this country was established by him, the army and the government are all his people, that is not something you and I can compete with." ”

"Indeed, the villain in the bottle is an unknown object that escaped from the door of truth, and no one understands him." Ian said, "But Mr. Hohenheim, how did you ever know me?" ”

Ian's eyes lit up with golden pupils, giant lines appeared on his face, and there was a deep light in his jeweled eyes, and a unique realm was released from his body, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet, and even the sound of insects and wind disappeared without a trace.

Ian freed the apostle's soul so that Hohenheim could feel it.

Enwei in the crystal finally strongly felt Ian's presence, as well as those souls as thick as the earth, and his weak and cowardly soul was as insignificant as a speck of dust in front of Ian

No wonder just now, Ian just looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

Enwei knows how stupid he is, he has so much strength, in front of this person, he is really a clown.

Hohenheim saw more than Envey, that kind of field, beyond his comprehension.

What terrified him even more were those special souls

It was as if he saw the creatures advancing in destruction, and nothing could stop them.

"Are you from the other side of the door?" Hohenheim looked at Ian differently.

Ian had already put away the realm and turned into the ordinary appearance just now, but Ian was very different in Hohenheim's heart.

"No, my alchemy was taught to me by your son." Ian held out his hand, "Let's get back to that topic, Mr. Hohenheim, I wonder if you'd like to work with me now?" Or would you like to know more about me? ”

Hohenheim hesitated, but this time, instead of refusing, he thought about it and took Ian's hand.
