Traveler In the World

Chapter 13: On The Unfolding Darkness

“The country of Amestris is round? Maas doesn’t understand, as an alchemist, I understand?” Looking at the telegram in his hand, Roy Mustang, who was serving in the Eastern Command, frowned. He looked up at the map of Amestris hanging on the wall of the office: “Round? Round…round!”

Looking at the telegram and the map on the wall, Roy Mustang’s eyes widened, and he murmured the same words that Yi Daoren thought of the country at the beginning: “This… how is this possible? ?! Who can achieve this kind of scope?! God?!”

“God? As an alchemist, do you believe in God?” The cold and pleasant voice came, which made Roy Mustang’s shock a little less.

“Lisa…” Looking at Lisa Hawkeye with a cold expression and a beautiful face, Roy Mustang hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly: “If there is someone who can achieve this, then call him There’s nothing wrong with God!”

“The country is refined?” Lisa Hawkeye was stunned when she heard the words, and then her brows furrowed.

Lisa Hawkeye is not an alchemist, but her father is an alchemist, and he is also a powerful and highly accomplished alchemist, but for some reasons he did not qualify as a national alchemist. Roy Mustang’s teacher. Therefore, she herself has a good understanding of alchemy.

Hearing Roy Mustang talking about making the country, and looking at the map on one side of the wall, her expression became solemn: “Who did you get this news from? Is it accurate?”

“The news was sent by Mas, and it is said that Yi Daoren found it. I just don’t know if it’s true…” Shaking his head, Roy Mustan smiled bitterly, his face became solemn, and he said solemnly: “Lisa , you help me meet Lieutenant General Gulaman, I want to ask him something!”

“OK.”

“Wait first… Wait for me to make some preparations!”

The next day, Eastern Command.

“Tuk tuk tuk… Lieutenant General Gullaman, Lieutenant Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye are here.”

“Come in.” Lieutenant General Gulaman, whose hair was mottled and gray, and the hair from his forehead to the center of his head had fallen out, raised his eyes from the documents on the table, and looked at the door that pushed in. He was tall and straight, with a remarkable demeanor. two people.

“Oops~ Roy, are you finally going to come to me to propose marriage and marry my granddaughter? But I won’t agree. You haven’t fulfilled my request yet! Lisa, don’t you think?”

“Lieutenant General Gulaman, please don’t call me by my name at work.” Lisa Hawkeye glared at Lieutenant General Gulaman.

“Oops~ My granddaughter is really not cute…” Lieutenant General Gulaman scratched his face, but after seeing Lisa Hawkeye glaring over again, he immediately stopped the words in his mouth and looked at Roy Ma Stan: “Is something wrong? Roy.”

Roy Mustang didn’t answer immediately, but turned his head and glanced at Lisa Hawkeye.

Nodding very tacitly, Lisa Hawkeye said, “I’ll wait outside.”

After speaking, Lisa Hawkeye turned around and left the room after giving Lieutenant General Gulaman a military salute.

The performances of Lisa Hawkeye and Roy Mustan made Lieutenant General Gulaman’s eyes narrow slightly, looking full of determination. After Lisa Hawkeye left the room, he said lightly: “You can talk to me now. Did you say it? Lieutenant Colonel Mustang.”

From calling his name intimately to adding his surname to his rank, Lieutenant General Gulaman also became serious.

“Lieutenant General Gulaman, let me ask you one thing first…” Looking at Lieutenant General Gulaman seriously, Roy Mustan said solemnly, “Why did you become the top commander of the Eastern Military Department?”

Silence, deathly silence.

“Lieutenant Colonel Mustang, there are some questions that you can’t ask.” The old and slightly hoarse voice broke the silence, but it brought a more depressing atmosphere than the silence.

However, Roy Mustang didn’t care about this depressing atmosphere, or it could be said that this depressing atmosphere was completely unable to suppress the doubts and fears in his heart…

“Is it because you don’t like some of the actions of the Central Military Department…”

“Lieutenant Master Mustang!” A cold voice interrupted Roy Mustang, Lieutenant General Gulaman stood up slowly, and the old figure seemed to be transformed into a mountain to cover the light behind him through the window: “You know you What consequences will those words have for you?”

“Of course I know, but…” Roy Mustang put his hand in his arms, took out a thick file bag and put it on Lieutenant General Gulaman’s desk: “Take a look!”

After quietly looking at Roy Mustang’s serious and determined eyes for a while, Lieutenant General Gulaman opened the file bag.

“Libier incident… Cameron civil strife… Sobman incident… why are you showing me this? Give me a history lesson again?” After only a few glances, Lieutenant General Gulaman raised his gaze from the document.

Whether it was the Libier incident, the Cameron civil strife, or the Sobman incident, they were all **** events in the history of Amestris’ expansion of the country.

“Please continue to read!” Roy Mustang didn’t explain much, just looked at Lieutenant General Cameron sincerely.

Raising his eyebrows, Lieutenant General Cameron glanced at Roy Mustang before continuing to look at the document: “The Wellesley Incident… The First Southern Border War… The Benderton Border Conflict… The Ishbar Destruction Battle… Tsk! Huh? Fordsett…Reor…Brickez?”

After a pause, Gulaman looked up at Roy Mustan. The last document in his hand only had the names of several cities in Amestris, and nothing in it: “What does this mean?”

“I also want to know what this means, or, in other words, I also want to know what will happen to the three places of Ford Set, Reol, and Brickez!” He took out a painting with Ames. The white paper of the simple map of Tris was placed on the table, Roy Mustang smiled bitterly, and drew a few strokes on the simple map with a pen, and then a formation appeared: “Lieutenant General Gulaman, our Country, what happened?”

“This…” Looking at the formation formation on the simple map, Lieutenant General Gulaman shrank the pupils in his eyes, then frowned, raised his head and stared sharply at Roy Mustang for a moment, then said solemnly. Said: “Are you sure you didn’t draw a mistake?”

“I’m not sure, but there shouldn’t be much mistakes in this way of painting…”

“This is the formation of the Sage’s Stone!”

Before Roy Mustang could finish his explanation, Lieutenant General Gulaman interrupted him aloud and said an answer that made Roy Mustang freeze, as if he was suddenly frozen by the polar cold wind!

“You… what did you say?” After returning to his senses, Roy Mustang stared at Lieutenant General Gulaman with wide eyes in disbelief, wanting to confirm whether he had an ear problem just now and had hallucinations!

“This is the formation of the sage’s stone. I saw it when I was in Central City.” After answering Roy Mustang indifferently, Lieutenant General Guraman sat down and glanced at it just now. ‘s file and read it again.

Only this time, he read it word by word very seriously.

“The formation of the sage’s stone… The kind of sage’s stone that is made with human life?”

“It looks like you know a lot. It stands to reason that a little **** like you would never know… Is it Ishbal?” Lieutenant General Gulaman, who carefully read the information and compared the map of Amestris, looked on his face. Getting colder and colder: “Those guys are really getting crazier!”

“Lieutenant General Gulaman…”

Raising his hand to signal Roy Mustang to listen to him first, Lieutenant General Gulaman said solemnly: “Lieutenant Colonel Mustang, I want you to closely observe the situation in Fort Set and Reor, you can do it. Are you there?”

Don’t you need to pay attention to Brickez?

After staring deeply at Lieutenant General Gulaman for a moment, Roy Mustang stood at attention and gave a military salute: “Yes, Lieutenant General Gulaman!”

After seeing Roy Mustang’s performance, a smile appeared on Lieutenant General Gulaman’s gloomy old face: “I still say that, I hope my granddaughter is the wife of the President, do you understand?”

“Yes! I understand! Lieutenant General Gulaman!”

Only those with ambition and ability can become the great president.

At the same time, the dead will not become the president!

On the streets of Central City, after finishing work at the Third Research Institute, I felt that it was still early. Yi Daoren, who had nothing to do at home, decided to go to the first branch of the National Central Library to read books. The materials in there are only available to national alchemists and officers above the non-commissioned level, and some even require the permission of the brigadier general!

But while walking, Yi Daoren suddenly found a familiar figure.

Tall and strong, even if he was wrapped in a military uniform, he could see how his muscles stretched out. On his almost bald head, there is a tuft of blond hair that is curving and growing strong, and there is a beard of the same color above his lips…Alex Louis Armstrong, the only male of the Armstrong family, a famous Armstrong family in Armestris. .

“Prayer Yi!” When the changer saw Alex Louis Armstrong, Alex Louis Armstrong also saw the changer.

A bright smile appeared on his face. As he walked towards Yi Daoren, Alex Louis Armstrong said, “Long time no see, Prayer Yi. I heard that you work at the Third Research Institute, is it true?”

Glancing at the military insignia on Alex Louis Armstrong’s shoulder, Yi Daoren curled his lips and nodded, “Yes, I am now working at the Third Research Institute. Long time no see, Major Armstrong.”

The relationship between Yi Dao and Alex Louis Armstrong is not good, but it is not bad, because Alex Louis Armstrong is also one of the few characters on the battlefield of Ishbal who will not make irresponsible remarks about his identity. .

It’s just a pity that Alex Louis Armstrong was a deserter, which made Yi Dao people a little uncomfortable. What made him even more disgusted was that Alex Louis Armstrong was now a major!

Although Alex Louis Armstrong is a national alchemist, he is also a descendant of Armstrong, a military family in the country of Armestris.

But when he remembered that a deserter was already a major, and his military exploits were only a captain, Yi Daoren felt that his jealousy could not be restrained.

Of course, the converts wouldn’t say anything about Alex Louis Armstrong being a deserter…Alex Louis Armstrong would be a deserter because he didn’t like the Armestrian soldiers in Ishbar. act of slaughter.

A person who has a conscience but is hard to stand firm on.

This is the judgment of the passers-by about Alex Louis Armstrong. So his view of Alex Louis Armstrong is that you can make friends, but not deep ones.

There will always be all kinds of troubles in making friends with people who have a conscience but are not stable in their own position.

Yi Daoren doesn’t like trouble, especially the trouble that others bring him. In his words, “I live according to my will, and my own willfulness is enough trouble. Do I have to wipe my **** for others?”

Coming to Yi Dao Ren, Alex Louis Armstrong looked at Yi Dao Ren and said with a smile: “I heard that you were seriously injured in order to save the Rockbells and have not been well yet. Would you like to exercise with me? ”

While speaking, Alex Louis Armstrong suddenly pulled his military uniform, took off his trench coat-like military uniform, and put on a fitness posture: “See? This perfect muscle!”

“Put your clothes on, I don’t want to be misunderstood as having a special hobby or being regarded as a perverted kind!” I felt that the people on the street were pointing at him because of Alex Louis Armstrong’s actions. Yi Daoren covered his face with his hands, UU reading www.uukanshu. com sighed silently.

Alex Louis Armstrong has a very special hobby, that is, he often takes off his shirt to show off his muscles regardless of the occasion.

“You really don’t know how to appreciate…”

“I don’t think I need to appreciate it!”

After Alex Louis Armstrong put on his clothes, Yi Daoren said strangely: “What are you doing here? On duty?”

“It’s not on duty, I’m going to the National Central Library to find materials.” Shrugging, Alex Louis Armstrong said with a smile: “I don’t know what my old man is crazy, but he asked me to read the history of national development, saying It’s asking me to study more. Really, I’ve almost forgotten about those things, so I can only go to the library to see them.”

“The history of national development?” Yi Daoren raised his brows.

“Yeah! From the founding of the state of Amestris to the current situation.”

“Since the founding of the country…” Yi Daoren’s brows furrowed.

After discovering that the country had been refined a few days ago, he had been thinking about what the upper echelons of this country wanted to refine with this country. But after hearing Alex Louis Armstrong’s words, he suddenly thought of another thing, or a cause and effect relationship…

What do the upper echelons of those countries want to use this country for? Or, this country was built for a purpose!

“What’s wrong?” Seeing Yi Daoren’s behavior, Alex Louis Armstrong was surprised: “Is there something wrong?”

“No, I just suddenly thought of something.” Shaking his head, Yi Daoren smiled reluctantly and said, “It just so happens that I’m going to the library too, let’s go together.”
