After seeing off the Edward brothers, Anxia Chen returned to the small town of Leol, in fact, Anxia Chen has always cared about one thing, that is, Lacester and Gratney left so simply.

Although Rust and Gratney also caused a lot of commotion, they knew that they could have killed Gratney once when they were in Central City, and also rescued Isaac.

If Rust and Gratney knew that they were the popes of the Cult of God-truth, then the current town of Leol should have broken out into even greater turmoil, at least the 20 or so people would not have a chance to live.

But the fact is that there are none, so it seems that the outcome of this matter is only these few possibilities.

The first possibility is that Rust and Gratney did not know that they were the popes of the Cult of God-truth.

The possibility of this situation is relatively small, because as long as you inquire a little, you can know Chen Anxia's general figure, after all, Chen Anxia did not do anything to hide in front of believers.

And the town of Riol is so important to the mastermind behind the scenes, an unknown force suddenly appeared here, and there is also an alchemist, since it has been discovered, in order not to affect the future plan, how can it be investigated a little.

The second possibility is that Rust and Gratney know that they are the popes of the Cult of God, but they don't know that they are the mysterious alchemists of Central City.

However, this possibility is also very rare, because when Chen Anxia was fighting against President Kim Bradley, Bradley once asked Chen Anxia if he was the prince of the new country, which means that Bradley has obviously guessed Chen Anxia's identity.

And Bradley is one of the androids, so the probability that Rust and Gratney, who are also androids, know their identities is almost 100%.

The third possibility is that Rust and Gratney knew their identities and knew that they were the popes of the Cult of God, and they were forced by their own strength and deterrence, so they threw themselves into the mouse.

But it's not right, if it were really a rat trap, then Ruster and Gratney would not be so blatant as to kill people in so many places, and not hide it in the slightest.

The fourth possibility is that Ruster and Gratney are plotting something they don't know.

Thinking of Chen Anxia, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, Chen Anxia himself was more inclined to the last possibility, and if it was the last possibility, then it meant that Lacester and Gratney would not come again in the short term.

Thinking about it, Chen Anxia's heart was a little calmer, and at least he gave himself some time to buffer.

But Chen Anxia didn't know that his inference was missing the most important link, that is, Goroni, who had been completely forgotten by himself, if he thought about it, there might be a fifth, that is, the most likely inference.

Standing by the window, looking at the increasingly prosperous town of Leol at night, Chen Anxia felt a sense of relief and accomplishment, but also an unprecedented sense of urgency.

The current Truth God Cult is still too weak, so that Chen Anxia is a little passive, after all, there is still no one under him to use.

If Chen Anxia has many subordinates of the same level as the Death Knight, Chen Anxia doesn't have to worry so much at all, and when these two androids dare to attack, these subordinates can teach them how to be a good android in minutes.

Therefore, speeding up development is the most important thing at present, and after secretly explaining some things, Chen Anxia left Riol Town overnight.

Chen Anxia is not going to Akuroa, the capital of water, this time, it is enough for Akuroa, the capital of water, to have Roshan and the Death Knight here.

Now Chen Anxia has deeply understood what it means to be a doppelganger, so Chen Anxia wants to find new help.

However, because the specific location of the person Chen Anxia is looking for now is not given in the original book, he probably only knows that it is in a small town in the east.

If Chen Anxia is not mistaken, it should be in some eastern town between Edward's hometown of Lysepur and Central City, but fortunately, there are not many towns in between, so it should be quick to find them one by one.

On the other hand, while Chen Anxia was looking for new help, Edward and Alphonse also arrived in Central City.

As soon as they returned to Central City, Edward and Alphonse rushed to the office of Colonel Roy at the Central Headquarters.

"Knock knock!"

Roy, who was in the office discussing with Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." Roy spoke.

At the moment when Roy's words fell, the door to the office was opened, and Roy and Hughes saw Edward and Alphonse pushing the door in.

Seeing this, Roy couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Oh, Steel, you're back, how was Leol's trip?" Have you gathered any clues about the Philosopher's Stone? ”

Hearing this, Edward also said directly, "Ah, I found a very important clue, but I need your help, Colonel." ”

Roy and Hughes couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they heard this, and then asked, "How can you help you?" ”

"We want to enter the Fifth Research Institute in Central City, I wonder if you have any way, Colonel?" Edward asked directly.

"Fifth Institute?" Roy frowned slightly when he heard this, he was a little unfamiliar with this Fifth Research Institute.

This is not to blame Roy, after all, Roy is from the Eastern Command District, and this time he was only seconded to Central City, and his familiarity with Central City can naturally be imagined.

And Lisa and the others, as Roy's subordinates, were naturally seconded along with them, so they were not familiar with the Fifth Research Institute in Edward's mouth, and they had not even heard of it.

Don't talk about them, even Hughes, who has been in Central City for many years, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing the name of the Fifth Research Institute, and thought carefully before recalling.

I saw that Hughes's face became a little strange, and he looked at Edward and asked, "Are you sure it's the Fifth Research Institute?" ”

Edward was a little puzzled when he saw this, but he still replied with great certainty, "Ah, I'm sure, it's the Fifth Research Institute." ”

Hughes's brows tightened unconsciously when he heard this, and he replied, "However, the Fifth Research Institute was abolished a few years ago. ”

Edward and Alphonse couldn't help but look stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't imagine that this would be the case.

"Could it be that Chen Anxia is lying to us?" Edward and Alphonse also had this idea uncontrollably in their minds.

"Abolished? Why was it repealed? Roy seemed to smell something unusual, and couldn't help asking.

"I don't know the specifics, it seems that there was an accident there that caused all the researchers inside to die, and now it is also cordoned off by the military department." Hughes shook his head lightly and replied.

Roy muttered for a while when he heard this, and Lisa on the side didn't know when he had already brought a map of the entire Central City and spread it on the table in front of Roy.

Hughes looked at the map, quickly found the location, pointed to a place on the map, and said, "This is the Fifth Research Institute." ”

Roy and the others looked along where Hughes pointed, and they also saw the location of the Fifth Research Institute, and I have to say that the location of the Fifth Research Institute is somewhat special.

On the map, the location of the Fifth Research Institute is next to the Central Prison, which is the largest and most high-security prison in the entire country of Amerstories, and it can be said that the people who are locked in it are some of the most vicious prisoners.

Placing this research institute next to such a prison always feels a little inexplicably discordant, as the other research institutes 1 through 4 are located close to the outskirts of Central City, and those places seem to be much more normal.

"Steel, where did you get the news from, and is the source of the news reliable?" Roy asked with a slight frown.

Edward and Alphonse couldn't help but glance at each other, and then said, "I can't say the source of the news for the time being, but this news should be true. ”

After hearing Edward's words, everyone fell silent, and their faces couldn't help but show a contemplative look, because, if Edward's information was reliable, it meant that the role of this Fifth Research Institute in the past was probably to study the Philosopher's Stone.

Thinking about it, Roy couldn't help but look at Hughes and said, "Hughes, I want to trouble you to check the relevant information of this Fifth Research Institute." ”

"Okay." Hughes answered, and without hesitation, he got up directly to look for information.

Just as Hughes went to inquire about the Fifth Research Institute, Chen Anxia finally found the person he was looking for in a small eastern town called Briblu.

The town of Briblu is just an unknown town, and there is nothing to praise in the town, but there is one person in the town who is loved by the whole town, and everyone knows his name.

The man identified himself as Marlowe, a kind old man who looked to be in his 50s, who came to the town a few years ago and has settled in the town ever since, working as a doctor in the town.

In the eyes of the townspeople, Marlowe is not only highly skilled, but also super kind, if the family is in difficulty people do not have to pay for medical treatment, usually treat patients at the lowest price, and even for inconvenient patients to personally come to the door to treat.

On this day, after Marlowe went to the door to treat the patient as usual, he walked on the way home, and all the townspeople who saw Marlowe along the way showed a heartfelt smile to Marlowe and greeted him.

And Marlowe also smiled gently, responding one by one, and at this time, Marlowe suddenly found an unfamiliar figure approaching.

The figure was dressed in a sky-blue monk's robe, and a warm smile appeared on its young face, as if it were a warm sun, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

This extraordinary temperament made Marlowe unconsciously pay more attention, but he didn't think much about it, and still walked home.

The two staggered, and at this moment, Marlowe's whole person suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he was directly stunned on the spot.

Because Marlowe heard an indifferent voice coming from the side, "I have finally found you, Tim Marko, the former national alchemist, the creator of the Philosopher's Stone, and the alchemist of the Crystallization Stone!" ”
