Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng are the first time to come to the country of Amerstolis, and of course it is the first time to come to Central City.

Therefore, looking at this exotic city and the most prosperous city in the country of Amerstolis, Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng were amazed for a while.

Even Xiaomei, the red panda lying on Zhang Mei's shoulder, showed an expression of amazement, which was very cute.

However, this kind of amazement did not last long, because the constant strange breath under the soles of the feet made Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng very uncomfortable.

The intensity of this aura is at least 10 times greater than that felt in the Brickz Fortress, and the young Zhang Mei may not know what this means.

But Zhang Wencheng knows that this country may be hiding some secrets, and it seems that this trip to Central City must be more cautious.

As for now, there is a problem in front of Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng, and they need to solve it first, that is, how to find the Fullmetal alchemist Edward Elric who they have never met in this unfamiliar big city.

Just when Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng were in trouble, suddenly a white shadow pounced over, Zhang Wencheng's body became vigilant, and directly protected Zhang Mei behind him, looking at this white shadow with a vigilant face.

However, after Zhang Wencheng saw this white shadow clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, because the white figure that pounced just now was a huge white dog, and at this moment the big white dog was squatting on the ground, looking at Zhang Mei behind Zhang Wencheng with an honest face.

Zhang Mei also noticed the big white dog at this time, and her cute little face couldn't help but be happy, and her mouth was full of surprise, "Ah, what a cute big dog!" ”

"Wang!" The big white dog seemed to sense Zhang Mei's joy, and couldn't help barking, as if in response.

Without waiting for Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng to react, they saw the red panda Xiaomei jumping directly from Zhang Mei's shoulder onto the plush back of the big white dog, rolling happily.

In this regard, the big white dog didn't care at all, and barked at Xiaomei, saying hello.

"Whew~" Xiaomei also responded kindly, and then continued to roll.

Seeing this, Zhang Mei no longer hesitated, and pounced directly, saving the neck of the big white dog, rubbing the big white dog with joy.

And the big white dog also showed a look of enjoyment, and Zhang Wencheng on the side was completely relieved when he saw this, and at the same time he was a little helpless about his young master, whose young master was good at everything, just like cute animals.

Perhaps it is also the case, Zhang Mei's body also unconsciously exudes a breath that attracts these animals, as if it is a natural breath.

At this moment, a petite figure from not far away was running towards this side with short legs, and at the same time shouted "Alexander, Alexander, you wait for me!" ”

"Wow!" When the big white dog heard this figure, his tail couldn't help but swing quickly, and he barked happily twice in response.

Soon, Zhang Wencheng and Zhang Mei saw a little girl with a double ponytail and flaxen hair running over a little panting, looking at the big white dog and complaining, "Alexander is really, why is he running so fast." ”

Soon, the little girl found out about the existence of Zhang Mei and others, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked a little nervously, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Mei saw this cute little girl who was slightly shorter than herself by half a head, and she didn't know why she suddenly felt a sense of intimacy, and said with a smile on her face, "We are travelers from Xinguo, did you raise this big dog?" It's so cute. ”

Seeing this, the little girl's expression was relieved, and while reaching out to stroke the big white dog, she nodded and said, "Its name is Alexander, and I have been with it since I was a child, and it is a family-like existence to me." ”

"Eh, it's like me and Xiaomei." Zhang Mei was a little surprised when she heard this.

"Xiaomei?" The little girl was a little puzzled when she heard this.

At this moment, Xiaomei, the little panda who had been lying on the big white dog, as if she was one with the big white dog, stood up, stretched out a small paw, waved her hand at the little girl, and greeted "Huh~"

The little girl also saw Xiaomei at this time, and was immediately full of surprise and said, "Ah, what a cute little animal, what is it?" I've never seen it before. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Mei couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiaomei is a panda, because of genetic mutations, she didn't grow up, and she was driven out of the herd, and she has been living with me since then, and she is my family." ”

Zhang Wencheng watched Zhang Mei and the little girl mingle on the sidelines, as if they had become very good friends in an instant.

Also through the chat between Zhang Mei and the little girl, Zhang Wencheng knew the identity of the little girl, Nina Tucker, 7 years old today, 5 years younger than Zhang Mei, is a very cute and lively little girl.

However, Zhang Mei is biased towards a baby face and has a figure, so she looks similar to Nina, which is probably the key to them becoming good friends.

And Zhang Mei also told Nina the purpose of coming to Central City this time, after all, this is not something that needs to be hidden, and it doesn't matter if you tell others.

Hearing this, Nina looked at Zhang Mei with some curiosity and asked, "So, sister, are you here to find Edward Elric, the alchemist of Fullmetal?" ”

"That's right." Zhang Mei nodded her little head and responded, and then frowned a little distressedly and said, "However, Central City is so big, Uncle Zhang and I are not familiar with each other, so we don't know where to find it." ”

Seeing this, Nina tilted her little head and thought for a while, and said, "In this case, you guys go home with me first, and I'll ask my father, maybe he will know." ”

"Your dad?" Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and they didn't understand, could it be that Nina's father and Edward would know each other?

When Nina saw the appearance of these two people, she immediately raised her little head and said proudly, "My father, Xiu Tucker is a national alchemist with the name of 'Alchemist of Life'. ”

"Not only that, but my father was also the first person in China to refine biology, and 3 years ago, he became the first synthetic beast in the country that can understand human speech and speak."

"I think, as a national alchemist, maybe my dad will know something."

"Synths can understand human speech?" Zhang Wencheng's expression was a little incredulous when he heard this.

The field of biological refining also exists in Xinguo, but there are not many people involved, so Zhang Wencheng has only heard of it, but he doesn't understand it.

It's just that as long as you think about it a little, you can know that the biological refining achievement is to refine two creatures of different species into a synthetic beast, which is a bit like fusion.

The essence of this technology is to be able to combine the advantages of various organisms and discard the shortcomings of these creatures to create a new, more potential, and more perfect species.

And how to make these synthetic beasts understand human speech and be able to speak human speech has always been a difficult problem that researchers in this field focus on.

Because once these synths can understand human speech, then it means that there is the possibility of control and obedience to orders, which is believed to be a temptation that no superior can refuse.

If it really succeeds, the control of a powerful Chimera legion will be such a terrifying combat power, just thinking about it should be able to know.

However, no one has been able to succeed in this field, not only because of its own difficulty, but also because it is a fundamentally impossible technology.

We all know that the materials of synthetic beasts are all animals of different species, and the animals themselves are congenitally limited, that is, defects at the genetic level.

As a simple example, a parrot can imitate human speech, but let the parrot understand the meaning of human speech? Can it do it?

Some people may say that after a long period of training, these animals can understand human commands, but this is completely different from understanding the meaning of human words.

It's very simple, you can make a dog see your gesture and immediately lie down and not move, but can you make a dog obey your command to lie on the ground for several hours without getting up?

That's the biggest difference, and that's the biggest difficulty.

It was precisely knowing these that Zhang Wencheng unconsciously admired this alchemist who had never met before, and at the same time sighed that this central city was worthy of being a holy place for alchemy, and even the major difficulties of synthetic beasts could be overcome.

Zhang Mei didn't think about it so much, but just exclaimed with a face full of exclamation, "Eh, Nina's father is so amazing." ”

As she spoke, she saw Zhang Mei with some anticipation and said, "Then when we go to Nina's house, will we be able to see that synthetic beast that can understand human words?" ”

Not to mention Zhang Mei, even Zhang Wencheng has some expectations, after all, this is equivalent to a milestone achievement in the field of biological refining.

Originally, Nina still enjoyed Zhang Mei's appreciation, but after hearing Zhang Mei's words, she saw that Nina seemed to remember something, and her mood gradually became depressed and said, "That synthetic beast is dead, and after refining it, it will not eat or drink, and it will starve to death." ”

Alexander, who was on the side, seemed to notice his master's low mood, and couldn't help but stretch out his head and gently arch Nina's little head, comforting Nina.

In fact, Alexander is Nina's father, and Hugh Tucker gave it to Nina after refining that synthetic beast that can understand human speech 3 years ago.

It was at that time that Nina heard her father tell her that her mother couldn't stand the current hard life and didn't want them anymore, and had left.

Later, Hugh Tucker successfully relied on this synthetic beast to become a national alchemist, completely getting rid of the previous poverty and hardship.

During that time, Hugh Tucker had been so busy with what had become the national alchemist that he completely ignored Nina, who needed the most attention.

At that time, Nina was only 4 years old, and when she knew that her mother didn't want the news of herself, you can imagine how big the blow was, and Nina at that time would wake up crying and crying every night, very lonely and helpless.

And at that time, Nina was always by her side, only the young Alexander, and the relationship between Nina and Alexander was also established in this way.

When Zhang Mei and Zhang Wencheng followed Nina home, Yao Lin and his party also arrived in Central City.

In the face of the prosperous Central City, Yao Lin and his party also had a headache, they didn't have Zhang Mei's experience, everything could only rely on themselves.
