Chapter 29: Dark Activity
Deep underground, Envi and Gratoni came to a platform full of pipes, and in the middle of the platform was a high platform, on which sat a stalwart man in an ancient white robe, with golden hair and eyes.
Opposite the stalwart man, and below the high platform, stood three people, namely Ruster and Kim Bradley, and a boy who looked like a six or seven-year-old child.
“Father, I brought Enwei here!”
“Father, I’m here!”
After fighting with Raster and the others, Envi and Gratoni spoke almost at the same time.
“Yeah!” After nodding slightly, the blond, golden-eyed man called ‘Father’ looked at Enwei and asked indifferently, “Enwei, how’s that Yi Daoist’s guidance?”
After ‘Father’ finished asking, Lasit on one side narrowed her long and seductive eyes, revealing a dangerous gleam: “Yes, I heard that you used my appearance to seduce him, did you gain anything?”
“Uh…” With a somewhat embarrassed smile, Enwei said, “He doesn’t seem to be interested in you…”
“Really?” Raster raised her hand and played with her hair hanging in front of her, her eyes becoming even more dangerous.
Suddenly, the seven- or eight-year-old boy turned his head and said lightly, “Does he feel how you approached him?”
After scratching his head for a moment, Enwei frowned and said, “I don’t seem to like me being too close to him… Really, isn’t the appearance of Drawing the most popular type for men? Why is he… Ah! Pain! Drawing! ,what are you doing?”
But it turned out that it was Lasseter’s fingers that suddenly stretched out, turning into a pitch-black spear and piercing Envi’s chest!
However, after Drawing retracted the finger that turned into a pitch-black spear, Enwei’s body flashed red and he returned to an intact appearance with no injuries. He just said with anger that he was indeed injured just now.
“Don’t use my appearance to do useless things!” Turning a blind eye to Enwei’s angry questioning, Ruster looked at Enwei coldly for a moment, then looked at the seven- or eight-year-old boy: “Pryde, you Is there any way to guide Yi Dao people to become human pillars?”
Blinking his eyes, Pride said lightly, “Lass told me about the situation of the Daoist changer. Enwei’s attempt to use beauty tricks is almost useless.”
“Why? Aren’t humans always desperate for so-called beauty love?” Enwei disagreed.
“But it doesn’t include Yi Dao people…even the candidates Zorf J. Kimberly and Roy Mustang who were found before are not included.” After glancing indifferently at Enwei, Pride looked at the seated On the high platform, they looked down at their ‘father’ like a god, and said solemnly: “They all have their own beliefs, and they will only ignore life and death for their beliefs!”
After hearing this, Enwei scratched his hair irritably: “Then how can we guide them to become human pillars?”
“Roy Mustang is a person who protects his shortcomings. He can start with the people around him. But Zolf J. Kimberly and Yi Daoren, I don’t have a suitable idea for the time being. Besides…” The ‘Father’ body was taken back and turned to Enwei, Pride said with a smile: “They are just candidates for the Human Pillar, not the real Human Pillar! You have put too much attention on him, don’t forget the business because of fun !”
The whole body froze for a while, Pride’s smile made Envi feel more dangerous than the spear just now!
“Today, four years later, is the day that Father becomes a god! After that, do whatever you want, but before that, do all your things well!” After giving Enwei a cold warning, Pride Looking at the others again, it finally fell on Kim Bradley: “Do you need me to play?”
“That’s right.”
After getting Kim Bradley’s affirmative answer, Pride looked at ‘Father’ again and asked, “Father, what do you think?”
“Let’s go.” In a plain tone, he waved his hand like he was chasing flies. The attitude of ‘Father’ should not be too harsh, full of disgust.
But Pride didn’t care at all, because he knew that the “father” who separated his feelings for them would not have an attitude of disapproval at all. Feeling disliked was just his own feelings.
“I see!”
On the other side, Yi Daoren led Lao Hu to his house, sat on the sofa, pointed to Rasit and sat there, and Maas Huoz also sat there, and it was almost the only place in his house where people could sit and said: ” Please sit down.”
“Captain Yi is really a good learner.” After sitting down at the position pointed by Yi Daoren, Lao Hu smiled and complimented him, but that was his real thought.
As a certain force in the new country, he came to Amestris to spy on intelligence. Naturally, there is no need to say much about his observation ability. The moment he entered the house, he had already taken into account the layout of the house and the arrangement of items, and naturally he also saw the full Books scattered around the house.
“For someone like me, knowledge is power, and learning is for the pursuit of greater power.” With a shrug, Yi Daoren seriously looked at Lao Hu for a moment, then said solemnly: “Old Hu, what are you doing to those two? What do you think?”
Yi Daoren was talking about Drawing and that unknown, but similar existence to Drawing.
The alchemist of Amestris was limited by certain perception methods and could not perceive the distorted and mixed dragon veins of Raster. This person of change once brought Alex Louis Armstrong in contact with Raster. It’s clear.
But Lao Hu from Xinguo is different, and Lao Hu also said beforehand that he sensed the evil spirits of Lasit and the others!
Qi, this is what Lao Hu and the others in the new country call dragon veins, while dragon veins are the name alchemists call qi, and they actually describe a kind of thing.
“Evil!” Lao Hu gave his thoughts without the slightest hesitation.
“Evils… Indeed, to normal people, they are demons!” After chuckling twice, Yi Daoren asked again: “Can you tell me about your identity and want to get sages? The real reason for the stone? Don’t say it’s a businessman, it’s an excuse for wanting to live forever. Although I don’t think I’m a smart person, I don’t think I’m a fool!”
After staring deeply at Daoist Yi for a moment, Lao Hu said solemnly, “This old man is from the Yao clan in Xinguo. I wonder what Captain Yi thinks of Xinguo?”
Yi Daoren raised his eyebrows, but still replied: “A great country in the east, the birthplace of alchemy.”
“What does Captain Yi know about Xinguo’s policies and state form?”
“It is said that it is a multi-ethnic country, and all power is in the hands of the emperor. The emperor married women of all ethnic groups and gave birth to a prince…” After recalling the description of the Xinguo he saw in the National Central Library, Yi Daoren said lightly: “In general, a centralized country!”
“Is it centralized…” Nodding affirmatively, Lao Hu said earnestly, “This old man came to Amestris on behalf of the Yao clan to find information about the Stone of Sages and dedicate it to the emperor!”
“Dedicate the sage’s stone to the emperor…” With a frown, Yi Daoren thought about it for a while and said, “That emperor is dying?”
“Presumptuous!” His eyes widened, but after seeing Daoist Yi just raised his brows to look at him, Lao Hu suddenly realized that he still had a request from others, so he could only say coldly: “Captain Yi, please don’t treat your majesty. rude!”
“Looks like I guessed right…” Shrugging, Yi Daoren smiled and said, “Birth, old age, sickness and death are a process that people must go through. The emperor is also a human being, and dying is normal. How can there be rudeness?”
Although he knew that Yi Daoren was telling the truth, his tone and attitude still made Lao Hu’s heart agitated.
“Okay, sorry.” Seeing Lao Hu’s gloomy expression, Yi Daoren knew that what he said should sound very unpleasant to Lao Hu, so he smiled, said apologetically, and said lightly: “You want to get The stone of the sage is to make the Yao clan behind you more qualified to compete for the throne in the new country, right?”
After Lao Hu nodded, Yi Daoren said again: “Then do you know what is the relationship between the Sage’s Stone and the evildoer you just mentioned?”
Lao Hu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yi Daoren with wide eyes: “Are they related to the Sage’s Stone?”
“It’s about it, either it’s a combination of the sage’s stone, or they are composed of the sage’s stone.” Shrugging, Yi Daoren leaned on the sofa, grinned, and said with a smile: “Such a sage’s stone, you Still want it?”
Looking at Yi Daoren who was full of smiles in front of him, but couldn’t feel any smile in his eyes, Lao Hu said solemnly, “What conditions do you have?”
“I want to get the help of Xinguo! Of course, to be more precise, it is the help of the forces behind you!” Yi Daoren said his conditions with a smile without a smile on his face.
“Captain Yi really has a big mouth… But is Yi Daoren really so sure that the old man will agree?”
“Then are you going to ask those evildoers for the legendary Sage’s Stone? And…” Yi Daoren raised his right hand, and in an instant, a blue electric light flashed, and the guest table in front of him and the sofa where Lao Hu was sitting suddenly came out After a few cold lights, he stood in front of Lao Hu: “Don’t easily enter an alchemist’s home, that is a very dangerous decision!”
In Central City, at the home of Maas Hughes.
After taking care of his wife who was about to give birth, Maas Hughes came to the study, took out some documents from the locked drawer, and was about to read it, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the glass frame of the wedding photo in front of the desk facing the window. After the masked figure was opening the window, he couldn’t help but jump to the side in an instant, preparing to look for a weapon at the same time.
But a familiar voice stopped him…
“Don’t be so excited, it’s me.”
“Prayer Yi?” Looking at the plain-faced Daoist Yi and the short, thin figure in black with a mask on the side of Daoist Yi, Maas Huoz frowned, “Who is this?”
“Old Hu, the obvious identity is a businessman from Xinguo… Of course, for us, you can get rid of the businessman. Lao Hu, this is Maas Huoz, the rank of major. If you have anything, you can find him rather than me. It’s much more useful.” After introducing Lao Hu to Maas Huoz, Yi Daoren glanced at the documents on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, “Are you still working so late? You are really working hard.”
After hesitating for a while, Maas Huoz nodded to Lao Hu, looked at Yi Daoist, and said solemnly, “What happened?”
“The original guess has come true… There is more than one existence like Lasit.” Sitting down at any seat, Yi Daoren looked at the neat and tidy room, and compared his own book that was almost destroyed The house flooded with alchemy research books couldn’t help smacking his lips: “Maybe I should really clean up the room…when I’m free.”
“Keep your voice down, Gracia is sleeping!” After a warning, Maas Huoz frowned and glanced at Lao Hu, then turned to Daoist Yi and said softly, “Have you found another existence like Lasit? several?”
“I found one temporarily, and suddenly went to Lasit.” With a long sigh, Yi Daoren frowned: “Have you practiced the basics of alchemy I taught you before? The method of perceiving dragon veins is very useful for finding those existences. Great effect!”
Shaking his head, Maas Hughes said with a wry smile: “I have no impression of the dragon veins you mentioned at all, and I can’t perceive them at all. It seems that he has sensed his own dragon veins after listening to Alex.”
“Is that so…Consider what I said to you at the beginning~www.readwn.com~ It’s really not good, you should leave the Central City, this is not something you can mix with without strength.” He glanced lightly. At the door, Yi Daoren curled his lips and said, “Your child is about to be born, right? Without you, their future life will be difficult… There may even be no future.”
After clenching his hands and thinking for a moment, Maas Huez frowned and looked at Yi Daoren: “Why do you care so much about my affairs all of a sudden?”
“It’s a pity that some people die and make me uncomfortable, and you are one of them.”
After listening to Yi Daoren’s words, Maas Xiuzi looked at Yi Daoren deeply for a while, then suddenly hugged his body and shrank back, and said nervously: “You don’t really like men, do you? I said that I already have Gracia…crack!”
A book was thrown directly into Maas Huez’s face by Yi Daoren, interrupting what he was going to say next.
“Don’t let me beat you!”
“You’ve already done it! Really, you don’t like such a beautiful woman as Lasit… Stop it! You’ll wake up Gracia!” See Yi Daoren pick up a book again, and he was about to throw it away , Maas Hughes quickly waved his hand, then raised his eyes, looked at Lao Hu on the side, and said, “Let’s talk about business! What’s the matter with you and this old Mr. Hu coming to me?”
After seeing Maas Xiuzi recovering, Yi Daoren curled his lips and said, “Of course I’m introducing you to… Can’t you feel the dragon veins? Lao Hu is from the Yao clan in the new country, and he can feel the breath of the dragon veins. I It’s the first thing I’ve done since I joined you.”
“What about the price?”
“Sage’s Stone.”
Maas Huozi’s pupils shrank, frowned and looked at Lao Hu for a moment, then said solemnly, “I hope you can discuss this with me next time!”
