Chapter 625: Layout in progress

After that conversation, Edward and Alphonse packed up and left Central City, heading to Dablis to find the Glid mentioned by Ansya Chen, as well as his mentor Izmi Cadiz.

In fact, in the world of "Fullmetal Alchemist FA", alchemy seems to be gorgeous, but in real combat, it is more about physical skills, because in real master battles, the opponent will not give you the opportunity to launch alchemy.

It's like a magician fighting a warrior, and the warrior knows that the magician's magic is very powerful, but will he still give these magicians time to release their magic?

However, there are some exceptions, such as the case of having the Philosopher's Stone, which is more special, but despite this, alchemy is still a good secondary attack, and if applied well, it can be taken by surprise.

Of course, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, none of the above will be true.

Therefore, in this world, superb physical skills are still one of the necessary abilities of masters.

For example, the master of the two brothers, Edward and Alphons, Izmi Cadiz, is a master of physical arts, and according to Chen Anxia's estimate, Izmi Cadiz's strength is likely to have touched the realm of masters.

And Izmi Kardis's husband Sigu Cadiz, if he is stronger than Izmi Cadiz in terms of physical skills alone, it is also conceivable that Edward and Alphons's martial arts are definitely not weak, and what is lacking is actual combat experience.

However, in this world, it is estimated that physical skills can be compared with Chen Anxia's shoulders, not only because Chen Anxia is already a top talent, but also because Chen Anxia still has a physical skill hole card that has not been used.

Therefore, if Edward and Alphonse didn't have a master, Chen Anxia wouldn't mind teaching them a few tricks and accepting them as disciples, but if they had a master, Chen Anxia would forget about it.

On the other hand, Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng have been living in Xiu Tucker's home for the past few days, and Xiu Tucker's kindness and hospitality have gradually won Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng's trust.

It's just that whenever Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng asked about the news about Edward in steel alchemy, Xiu Tucker was perfunctory, and never gave a clear answer, just said that he was inquiring.

And the past few days with Zhang Mei are estimated to be Nina's happiest days in recent years, and smiles are on Nina's face all the time.

However, the moment of separation is coming after all, Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng shoulder the responsibility of the entire ethnic group after all, and they don't have so much leisure time at all.

Therefore, on this day, Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng found Xiu Tucker.

When Xiu Tucker heard Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng's intentions, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng with some surprise and said, "Eh, you're leaving?" ”

"Well, it's too much trouble for you this time, and we have other things to do, so we have to say goodbye first." Zhang Mei responded very politely.

"That's right." Hugh Tucker was a little stunned when he heard this, but an anxious look flashed in his eyes.

But soon, Xiu Tucker looked at Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng with a gentle smile and said, "However, maybe you have to wait one more day, because I just received the news that there should be news of the steel alchemist tomorrow." ”

"Really?" Zhang Mei looked at Xiu Tucker in surprise when she heard this.

"Of course it's true." Hugh Tucker smiled and nodded.

"Great, Uncle Zhang, there's finally news." Seeing this, Zhang Mei couldn't help but look at Zhang Wencheng jumping with some joy.

"Then I'll trouble you for another day." Zhang Wencheng glanced at Zhang Mei dotingly, and then looked at Xiu Tucker.

After seeing Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng leave, I saw that Xiu Tucker's face suddenly became gloomy, and he muttered to himself, "It seems that it has to be advanced to tonight." ”

With that, Hugh Tucker went straight to his lab, not knowing what to do.

At the same time, Yao Lin and his entourage walked aimlessly on the streets of the bustling Central City, completely unaware of where to go to find Chen Anxia's traces.

Just now, Yao Lin and his entourage visited all the libraries in Central City, but no matter which library it was, all the books on alchemy in it were not open to the public.

This also made Yao Lin and others take advantage of the excitement and return in defeat.

As he walked, Fu Ye seemed to sense something, and his expression couldn't help but tighten, "This breath, is it him?" ”

"Fu Ye, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Yao Lin couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Young master, I feel the breath of the Zhang family's fierce tiger, it's around here." Fu Ye couldn't help but respond respectfully when he heard this.

"Zhang's Tiger?" Yao Lin was slightly stunned, and then reacted and couldn't help asking, "Master Fu, where did the breath of the Zhang family's fierce tiger come from?" ”

Fu Ye sensed it carefully, and immediately pointed in a direction and said, "This way." ”

"Then we'll go." Yao Lin immediately said, "The Zhang family tiger should be by the side of the seventeenth princess, they must also be looking for clues about immortality, we observe secretly, maybe there will be gains." ”

Fu Ye didn't hesitate when he heard this, and walked directly in the direction of Xiu Tucker's house with Yao Lin and Lan Fang.

At this moment, in the courtyard of Xiu Tucker's house, Zhang Mei and Nina were having fun, and Zhang Wencheng on the side was doing daily training, so he inadvertently revealed his breath.

Fu Ye quickly took Yao Lin and the others to the roof of the building opposite Xiu Tucker's house, just enough to see the scene in the courtyard, and this distance could also make Zhang Wencheng unnoticeable, which was just right for Yao Lin and the others.

Yao Lin saw Zhang Mei who was having fun with Nina from a distance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled slightly, "Sure enough, it's the seventeenth princess, she is so leisurely, she must have found something, let me see what clues you found." ”

Fu Ye and Lan Fang on the side did not speak, their eyes were also staring at Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng, observing.

On the other side, in the Central Military Department, in Roy's office, Roy, Hughes, and Lisa were secretly discussing.

Roy sat in his seat, supported his chin with his hand, and said in a slight condensation, "From now on, what Chen Anxia said to us should be true, but do you have any opinions on Chen Anxia's plan?" ”

"Judging from the current situation, Chen Anxia's method should be the best way." Hughes frowned slightly.

Saying that, Hughes couldn't help but sigh and said, "I have to say, Chen Anxia's strategy is too amazing, put it in any army, and if it is tempered, he will definitely be able to become the commander of an army." ”

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true, and only such a character will take the initiative to want to play with the mastermind behind the scenes." Roy responded.

As he spoke, Roy glanced at the thoughtful people around him and continued, "According to Chen Anxia's plan, our first step is to win over trustworthy people in the military department first, do you have any candidates?" ”

"I think Major Armstrong can be trusted." Hughes couldn't help but reply.

"I'm not familiar with the Central Military Department, and I don't have anyone to recommend." Lisa replied very neatly.

"Major Armstrong is indeed trustworthy." Roy nodded in response.

As he spoke, he saw Roy raise two fingers and continue to speak, "I also have two candidates here, the first is the Supreme Commander of the Eastern Command, that is, the old fox Lieutenant General Gulaman, and I will look for him when I return to the Eastern Command, and the second is also my old acquaintance, that is, Colonel Basque Gran, who has the title of Iron-Blooded Alchemist." ”

Hughes immediately made a decision when he heard this, looked at Roy and said, "Then I'll contact Major Armstrong, and Colonel Basque Gran will be contacted by you." ”

"Okay." Roy nodded directly, then got up and went straight to Colonel Basque Gran.

As for why Roy doesn't use the phone, it's because it's not safe, the top brass of the military department is rotten, then the internal phone must be controlled, and if the news is leaked, it's not good to startle the snake.

However, when Roy passed by Hughes, he couldn't help but look at Hughes and said, "Hughes, you have to be careful, according to what Chen Anxia said, you went to investigate the information of the Fifth Research Institute, and the people above are likely to come to kill you, you must not be reckless." ”

"Ah, I know." Hughes nodded vigorously in response.

Then Hughes looked at Roy, who was still very worried, and couldn't help but show a hearty smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't die until I see Alicia grow up and get married." ”

Seeing this, Roy finally smiled reassuringly, and then took Lisa and left straight to find the iron-blooded alchemist Basque Gran.

Looking at Roy's departing figure, Hughes's face couldn't help but become heavy, because Hughes remembered the conversation with Chen Anxia on the roof that day.

So far, what Chen Anxia said at that time still makes Hughes very unforgettable, because Chen Anxia's words at that time, Chen Anxia's tone, as if he had foreseen something.

Shaking his head vigorously to throw distracting thoughts out of his mind, Hughes secretly said in his heart, "Now is not the time to think about this, for the sake of Grecia and Alicia, I must stop this conspiracy, even if it is to cost my life!" ”

Soon, Roy found Basque Gran, who was in his office.

I saw Roy holding two bottles of wine in his hands, and looked at Basque Gran and asked a little embarrassedly, "Yo, old man Gran, is it convenient to have a drink now?" ”

Basque Gran's eyes narrowed unconsciously when he heard this, and he understood the subtext of Roy's words, and couldn't help but say, "It's not the rest period yet, so you can't drink for the time being." ”

"Ah, that's a pity," Roy said with some regret when he heard this, and sat down directly opposite Basque Gran, and said, "Then I'll wait here, seriously, it's been a long time since I've had two drinks with the old man." ”

"Then you just wait, it's about half an hour away." Basque Gran looked at the time.

On the other hand, because Armstrong was on duty today, he was no longer in the military department outside, but soon Hughes also learned where Armstrong was now and rushed over directly.

Soon Hughes met Armstrong and took him to safety, telling him what had happened.

After Armstrong heard Hughes's words, he was so shocked that a cold sweat unconsciously flowed on his face and said, "The land is refined, the truth of the war in Ishvar, I really didn't expect that there would be such a big secret in our country." ”

"Yes, who would have thought that such a cruel truth would be hidden inside this seemingly calm country." Hughes responded, and even now, Hughes was still uneasy.

As he spoke, Hughes looked at Armstrong and said, "Major Armstrong, we need your help to save this country together." ”

Armstrong heard the words and gave a military salute, his face was resolute, and he responded directly, "It is incumbent!!" ”

At the same time, Roy, Lisa, and Basque Gran also left the Central Military Department, apparently going somewhere.

And they didn't notice that there was a figure following them in the distance, but after this figure saw Roy and Lisa, he couldn't help frowning, and then said, "Forget it, then change the prey tonight." ”

As he spoke, he saw this figure disappear directly into the side path, but a whisper echoed in the path, "Alchemist of Fate, Xiu Tucker..."
