Naruto: Accidentally opening a fantasy world.

Chapter 691 Clues
The three of them walked out of the room.

The villagers were drawing water from a newly built well when someone saw three people.

All the villagers turned to look at the three people and fell silent.

There was a sense of alienation in that cold gaze.

"It seems that your so-called state alchemist is not very likable."

Scorpion spoke out.

Edward scratched his head in embarrassment. He and Alphonse had not encountered such a situation when they first came to the village.

How come after suddenly going out for a chase, it turned out like this.

"Maybe there's some misunderstanding." Alphonse tried to explain.

At this time, the village chief came out from the side.

"You two, the room has been arranged for you."

In comparison, the village chief was much more respectful.

The village chief looked at Scorpion and asked, "Who is this?"

"Just an ordinary suspect." Scorpion shrugged indifferently.

"Ah." The village chief looked at Scorpion in surprise, as the other party had no restrictions on his actions.

Edward saw the village chief's doubts and said, "It's just a certain suspicion. For the time being, he needs to cooperate with us."

However, Edward still looked at Scorpion in confusion. He didn't expect that this person would directly admit the identity of the suspect.

Most people don't want to be given this title.

"Is that so?" The village chief nodded and glanced at Scorpion with cloudy eyes.

"You guys come with me."

The village chief began to lead the way.

The entire village was built in a square shape, and the roads on all sides were very regular, but the village chief took the three people to a small hill not far outside the village.

"This used to be where the hunters from our village lived. But it was also one of the missing persons, so this will make it easier for you to investigate," the village chief explained.

Edward nodded. This was very convenient and he had no objection.

When they reached the house on the mountain, they found it was tied up with chains. The village chief took out the key and opened the chains.

"This place is quite spacious, enough for the three of you to live in. If you have any questions, you can always come to me. I live in the house in the middle of the village."

The village chief said slowly.

"Wait a minute." Edward just wanted to ask a question at this time: "I just have a question I want to ask. Those villagers seem to have some opinions about us."

The village chief hesitated for a moment and said, "They don't have a problem with you, they have a problem with the state alchemist."

Edward and Alphonse looked at each other and asked in unison, "Can you tell me about it?"

Maybe the clue lies here.

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "There was an alchemist in our village before. At that time, all of us in the village sponsored that alchemist. However, he failed the national alchemist assessment and disappeared. The village spent all its money on that person."

"We originally thought that after he became a national alchemist, he would be able to help our village become prosperous, but what a pity the final result was." The village chief sighed.

"Since that time, the villagers have had a deep prejudice against the State Alchemist."

Edward's eyes lit up, and as for the villagers' concerns about the State Alchemist, he didn't care at all.

He just finally saw a clue.

"Can you tell me more about this person?" Edward asked directly.

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "If you want to know, come with me. It will take a while to explain his affairs, and I have things to do."

"That's troublesome." Edward said sincerely and followed the village chief towards the village.

Alphonse looked at Scorpion and shrugged at his expressionless face.

Only two people walked into the house.

Go inside.

Scorpion asked curiously: "What exactly is alchemy?"

His purpose of approaching the two brothers was for the so-called alchemy.

Although the best method is to extract the power from Edward's brain, he cannot lock on to the root of the powerhouse for the time being, and he doesn't want to go too far.

"Alchemy." Alphonse looked at Scorpion and slowly explained, "The essence of alchemy is to understand the inner laws of matter. There are three points in total: understanding, decomposition, and then construction."

"But alchemy does not come out of thin air. Equivalent exchange is the iron law of alchemy."

Scorpion listened to Alphonse's explanation and had a general understanding of alchemy.

The understanding of things is the basis of alchemy, combined with alchemical arrays for destruction and reorganization.

Scorpio was thoughtful.

This world itself has little appeal to him except for those at the root level.

Not to mention other energies here, even the natural energy is pitifully small, and it is indeed difficult to save anything useful.

But this alchemy.

If he can master it thoroughly, it may allow him to go further.

Even though his true body was imprisoned in Uchiha Jin's hands, he could continue to make progress.

The Six Paths level does not require any special training, it is simply a matter of understanding the natural energy.

The degree of your understanding determines your power.

Compared to Minato Namikaze and Ōnoki, he is much stronger.

As long as the clone has enough understanding, it will send the understanding in its mind back to the original body.

Directly upgrade in place.

at this time.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, as if something exploded.

Alphonse turned quickly.

"My brother is in trouble."

He rushed out without thinking.

Scorpion looked at the person rushing out speechlessly. Is this completely giving up on him?
but.

This matter has little to do with him.

He clapped his hands and pressed them to the ground.

A layer of mysterious light quickly condensed on the ground. If Edward saw it, he would definitely find that it was his alchemy array.

Arcs of electricity flickered on the alchemy circle.

An iron knife quickly emerged from the ground. Scorpion held the iron knife and narrowed his eyes.

"The breath of the root."

Edward originally followed the village chief towards the back fields of the village.

"It's harvest time recently, and everything in our village is planted together. I have to go over and take a look to prevent any trouble."

The village chief walked in front and chattered about the things in the village.

As the village chief, there are a lot of things to manage.

He is responsible for all the trivial matters in the village.

Edward felt a headache after hearing this.

"that.."

Just as he was about to ask about the village alchemist, thick fog suddenly swept over.

Edward's pupils shrank, and he was about to reach out and pull the village chief behind him, but the thick fog blocked his vision and he reached out and touched nothing.

"bump!"

A crisp sound was heard, and Edward quickly tilted his head, leaving a bloody cut on his cheek.

"gun!!"

"Bang!" Another gunshot was heard, and Edward quickly squatted down, with a bullet knocking his hair off.

He clapped his hands together and pressed them to the ground.

With the flash of strong electric arc.

A wall of steel gathered before him.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The steel wall made a clear sound when it was hit by bullets.

"It's right here." Edward clapped his hands on the steel wall, and fans slowly condensed on the four sides of the steel wall.

As the arc flashed, the fan started to fan rapidly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four gunshots were heard, and all four fans were blown up by four bullets.

Edward took a look and frowned. The other party used fog to block his vision, and the fan could easily become a target of attack.

This fog must be the work of an alchemist, otherwise how could such a thick fog appear out of thin air.

"We must find a way to get out of here."

Edward's eyes moved back and forth, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.

"Bang!" A muffled sound of flesh was heard, followed by a muffled groan.

This was followed by a strong gust of wind that blew away the thick fog.

Edward then emerged from the steel wall and saw a figure running away in the distance.

Alphonse came in front of Edward.

"elder brother."

"Chase!!"

Edward said as he chased after the figure in the distance, with Alphonse following closely behind.

Edward took a look at the alchemy array not far away.

That is the alchemy array used by the enemy using alchemy.

The two of them followed closely behind each other.

The village chief slowly walked out from the other side and looked at the two people's backs with a complicated expression.

Finally, he sighed helplessly.

The enemy took Edward and his brother around in a long circle.

When they finally saw the chase road, they both frowned at the same time, because that was the road leading to the hunter's house.

Wait until you are not far from the hunter's house.

The enemy also stopped and turned to look at the two brothers, who were wearing green linen clothes and had a sack on their heads.

A white alchemy array appeared under his feet.

He stretched out his hand and slapped the ground.

"Practice it!!!"

The green phone flashed, and thick fog quickly appeared, instantly covering all directions.

"The same trick doesn't work on me."

Edward clapped his hands, and a huge fan quickly condensed. With the flash of electric arcs, the fan began to fan rapidly.

The strong gale quickly blew away all the thick fog in front.

Meanwhile the person they were chasing had vanished without a trace.

"Someone drew an alchemy array for him." Edward said in a deep voice.

Anyone can draw an alchemical array, but only an alchemist can use alchemy.

The two looked around and saw that there were not many people around. Even if they wanted to get here from the village, they would need to walk a long way.

Then there is only one person who is suspected.

"scorpion."

Edward walked right in and opened the door.

At first glance, I saw the scorpion inside, who seemed to be thinking about something.

"Are you back?" Scorpion heard the noise and turned to look at the two of them.

Now he is still wondering why a small alchemy array is related to the root powerhouse.

That weird feeling of nothingness can only be possessed by a strong person.

If you don't feel it carefully, it's easy to overlook it.

Although he had never felt the strength of a second root powerhouse, Uchiha Jin was enough to be a representative of this level.

The aura is similar to that of the other party, so that must be the source.

He looked at the Edward brothers somewhat absentmindedly.

"So fast, what happened?"

Edward stared at Scorpion.
