In front of Brickz Fortress, the two Elric brothers stood in the wind and snow, with several soldiers around them pointing guns at them.
"I am a state alchemist, not a spy."
Edward explained again and sighed helplessly.
"Don't move, raise your hands above your head."
A soldier squeezed the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Although Alphonse was not afraid of firearms, he did not act rashly.
"Wait a minute, their commander should be coming out soon."
The Elric brothers were helpless. The soldiers in the north did not give them a chance to explain, even if they took out the national alchemy The magician's pocket watch was useless. Without approval from the central government, these people didn't believe their identities at all.
This situation is normal. 'Brickz Fortress' is an important border area, and every year there are spies trying to sneak in, and there are countless people pretending to be alchemists.
Olivia Mira walked out of the fortress. The female general stood tall and looked at the two brothers.
"Who are you?"
Olivia Mira's tone was not very good, just like her current mood.
After checking, Olivia found that what the man said might be the truth. If that was true, the war was not far away, and she would not sit still and wait to die.
Hearing Olivia's question above the fortress, Edward looked up.
"I am Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric. I was introduced by Major Armstrong from the Central Committee to see the Major General. Please remove the guard."
Edward The Major Armstrong he is talking about is Olivia Mira’s younger brother.
"Search them."
Olivia Mira was not polite when she heard that it was her brother who introduced him.
"We are not bad guys."
"Who knows, anyone can pretend to be a celebrity, not to mention that a 'devil' came to my territory recently. Who knows if you are accomplices."
"Devil?"
Edward Elric was a little confused.
After the search, a silver block watch and a letter were handed to Olivia.
"This is a letter of introduction from the major, which proves that we are not bad guys."
Olivia Mira looked at the envelope in her hand and only looked at the handwriting on the envelope. Then she knew that it was indeed written by her brother.
"Ha~, it's indeed that idiot."
While speaking, Olivia Mira tore up the letter in her hand without reading the content at all.
"Hey, why don't you read on? It contains information about me and my brother."
"The letter of introduction means nothing to me. I don't need other people's evaluations. I I only judge others with my own eyes."
As she spoke, Olivia Mira tore the letter into pieces.
"Let him goCome in. "
The cold wind howled, and the Elric brothers who were about to enter the fortress couldn't help but raise their heads. They were immediately shocked by this magnificent fortress.
The steel walls hundreds of meters high, There are still traces of ice and snow on the solid wall.
“Awesome, so high~, so big! "
Hearing Edward Elric's shouting, Olivia Mira lowered her eyes and looked a little gloomy.
"The scum won't leave yet, watch out for me. Pull the antennas off your heads. "
The antenna in Olivia's mouth is the dull hair on Edward's head and a strand of hair on Alphonse's armor.
"Yes! "
Edward felt the strength of the Queen of the North firsthand.
Entering the fortress, the Elric brothers were not free, and what greeted them was the second round of 'torture'.< /p>
Olivia Mira sat opposite the two brothers, with hot tea in front of them.
“Do you recognize the Explosive Alchemist? "
Hearing Olivia's question, the two brothers were stunned.
Edward nodded and shook his head.
"I have only seen Once, that guy was an explosion maniac. Last time he blew up a lot of buildings in Central City, and I finally repaired them. But for some unknown reason, he was wanted a few days ago for killing important military personnel. ”
After listening to Edward’s description, Olivia Mira lowered her head and pondered.
The information she obtained was the same as Edward’s. Su Xiao killed important personnel in the military, and finally Wanted.
If she remembered correctly, the so-called important person was just a colonel with no real power and had nothing to do with the Explosive Alchemist.
It was provided by the military. The news is full of doubts, and coupled with Central City’s many actions in recent years, Olivia Mira clearly feels that something is wrong.
“Let’s not talk about it for now. I need you two to explain why you didn’t pass. The reason why the headquarters came to me directly, and the secret of your brother’s hollow armor. "
The Elric brothers looked at each other.
"This~, if we knew it, we might be sent to a military court..."
Edward's words have not yet been heard. After speaking, Olivia suddenly interrupted.
“A sage and an artificial person? "
Olivia only said two key words. She did not mention the philosopher's stone and the artificial man, so that there would be no clue.
"How do you know? ! "
Edward stood up with a cry.
"It seems that guy didn't lie. It's not good, it's very bad. "
After the Elric brothers saw Olivia's reaction, they were a little stunned.
"Little dwarf, swallow everything you know right away! "
Olivia looked at Edward coldly.
"Who are you calling the dwarf! ”
“It’s you, the little guy with the antenna, giving you five minutes to make your statement.Time, by the way, let me tell you that the laws of Central City are invalid here. "
A group of soldiers rushed into the room, dozens of guns pointed at the two brothers.
"You..."
"Don't think I'm bluffing, This is the northwest, and death is commonplace, even for state alchemists. For the lives of tens of thousands of my subordinates, I can bear this responsibility. "
"The lives of tens of thousands of subordinates? ”
Edward was a little confused. He suddenly had a feeling that the female general in front of him might know more than him.
After hesitating for a moment, Edward said everything he could say. Come out.
Ten minutes later, Olivia looked at the ground under her feet, and the soldiers in the room retreated one after another.
“What evidence do you have that what you said is true. "
Alivia's question left the two brothers speechless.
"Not yet, but the Philosopher's Stone and the artificial man do exist. I have seen them with my own eyes. "
"I believe in the Philosopher's Stone, because I have indeed seen it. As for the artificial man..."
Su Xiao once took out a small piece of the Philosopher's Stone and gave it to Olivier Ya, it was smaller than a grain of rice.
Ovelia took out the Philosopher's Stone, and the two Elric brothers felt their scalps numb after seeing the Philosopher's Stone.
p>“You made this? "
Edward has already assumed a fighting posture.
"No, someone else gave it to me. "
"Where is that person? "
Edward's breathing was obviously heavy. I don't know how many people will be sacrificed for this small piece of the Philosopher's Stone.
"You don't need to know, you just need to confirm now, this is It’s not the Philosopher’s Stone. Is this thing really that magical? "
"This is the Philosopher's Stone. "
After receiving Edward's clear answer, Olivia took a deep breath.
" Demonstrate to me how it ignores equivalent exchange. "
"No! I will never use this thing. This thing is made from human beings. I will never use it. ”
