Edward glanced at the silent Ashes and couldn't help asking, "What's your title? What's with that expression, don't you like your own title? My title is pretty good, I quite like it..."

Ashes looked at the letter of appointment in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little bit pained. This guy is too good at naming, so he just used my own name as the title... It's too perfunctory!

He waved his hand and said to Edward helplessly, "It's nothing, I like my title quite a bit, it's just...it feels a little weird..."

Mustang on the side laughed, "This guy's title is 'Ash', that is, 'Ash Alchemist'!"

"Isn't this a handsome name? Just below me..." Edward felt that there was nothing bad about this name, why did this guy feel strange...

Mustang gave a smirk, and said jokingly, "It's a good title, but... this guy's name is Ashes, and the President just took his name as his title. Do you think it sounds good, Alchemist of Ashes?" ?”

"It sounds good...it sounds good, what else can I say besides saying it sounds good?" Ashes covered his face, and laughed at himself helplessly, after all, it came from his own name...

When Edward heard such a funny thing, he didn't care about Ashes' feelings at all, and laughed out loud on the spot, "Hahaha, my name is Ashes, and my title is Ashes Alchemist, hahaha, how can someone call such a stupid name!"

Ashes stood up suddenly and came to Edward. The red glove that hadn't been taken off was shining with light. Before everyone could react, one hand had already grabbed Edward's head, and the other hand became The claw suit rested on Edward's abdomen.

Ashes with a gloomy face said unhappily, "Boy, do you have any opinion on my name?"

Feeling the scorching heat coming from his abdomen, Edward didn't dare to act rashly, he was considered a warrior, how could one or two of them open his eyes today.It's okay for the president, the knife is so fast that he can't react, it makes sense.

But... what happened to this guy in front of him, the whole person came over directly, and he didn't react at all. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the collapsed ashes on his face. Ah, what a nice name, don't you think so, Colonel Mustang."

Edward hurriedly turned his eyes for help to Mustang who was still sitting in his seat. "Okay, you two are already national alchemists, so I'm going to start mobilizing you..."

Mustang ignored Edward's eyes asking for help, and began to fulfill his accusation seriously.

Just like that, the two newly promoted national alchemists accepted their orders in a strange posture...

Chapter 128 Go to sleep, child

Woooo~ The train whistle sounded, and with the warm spring breeze, the train to the center left the station.And on a train, there were actually two national alchemists.

Edward Elric and his younger brother Alphonse Elric sat in the train compartment, silently and helplessly looking at the two people sitting opposite them...

"I said... Ashes, right... You are also a national alchemist, what do you mean you have no money? Then how did your previous research go..." Edward frowned, lying on the opposite side of the lady's legs Asked Ashes standing on the corpse.

"Research? Ha, what nonsense are you talking about? What are you studying? What is there to study?" Ashes waved his hands indifferently, twisted his body and lay down in a more comfortable and mocking posture.That's right, because Ashes had no money and no subsidy for the time being, Edward lent him the money to buy the train ticket.

Suddenly Ashes smirked and looked at Brother Elric and said, "Fullmetal Alchemist, hehe, I think your brother is more suitable for this name. Look at the armor your brother is wearing. He is tall and fit, no matter what you think, he is more suitable than you." Hey…"

Edward was furious when he heard Ashes' teasing, "Who are you calling Little Douding! You are Little Douding! Fullmetal Alchemist is not talking about such superficial things as armor and figure! What do you know!"

"Brother, don't be like this, no one calls you Xiaodouding, it's really embarrassing..." Brother Armor looked at the strange eyes from the passengers around him, and hurriedly grabbed his bluffing brother with some shame...

The fireproof girl looked at Alphonse, looked at Ashes on her lap with some embarrassment, and asked softly, "Master Ashes, he..."

Ashes shook his head lightly, then smiled and said, "Don't say it, just know, it's their own business..."

The fire-proof girl glanced at Alphonse worriedly, sighed with some concern, and then nodded to Ashes, "I know Mrs Ashes, I hope this child's soul finds peace..."

The short exchange between the two was not discovered by the Elric brothers, because the two are now discussing with each other because they are not ashamed.

Ashes left the fireproof woman's lap pillow, sat up straight, looked at the two brothers who were bickering and asked, "You... why did you become national alchemists?"

Edward stopped bickering with his younger brother, turned his head to look at Ashes, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile, "Oh, why must there be any purpose? It can't be because I want to become a national alchemist and become a national alchemist." Alchemist?"

Ashes shrugged, laughed and said, "This may happen, but it will definitely not happen to someone like you. You two are still children, so you probably don't understand these things, so ah, it must be What attracts you..."

"Who are you calling a child! You are Little Douding! I must teach you a lesson today!" Edward frowned again, looking like he was going crazy.

Alphonse hurriedly grabbed his brother, controlled him, and said to Ashes helplessly, "Brother and I, there is a reason why we must join the national alchemists, because only by joining them can we find the perfect substance. Philosopher's Stone..."

At this moment, Edward also calmed down, looked at Ashes mockingly and said, "How about it, have you heard of it? Even a second-rate alchemist like you may not have heard of this thing, the Philosopher's Stone..."

"The Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Red Potion, the Fifth Entity, the Stone of the Sky, the Philosopher's Stone, the Great Alchemy Elixir, or the Ultimate Red Substance, gives joy to suffering, victory to struggle, and light to darkness , to revive the dead,...and my evaluation of this thing...the blood of the lamb..." Ashes raised his head, interrupted Edward with a smile, and expressed his opinion...

Hearing Ashes' words, Edward and Alphonse were stunned together... It was as if time had been suspended between the four of them. It was as quiet as if time had been suspended. If the train was not still running, the people around would still be noisy.

After a while, seeing that the two brothers didn't respond, Ashes tilted his head with a smile and laughed, "What's the matter, Fullmetal Alchemist? Is there any problem?"

After a short silence, Edward asked nervously, "Have you... have you seen the Philosopher's Stone? Do you know this thing? It's so... so clear, I haven't seen some words... how do you know, and …what does the blood of the lamb mean?"

"I know, but I haven't seen it, and I'm not interested, because I never believe in miracles... For the rest of the questions, you will know what they mean when you are on the road to find this thing..." Ashes smiled and shook Shaking his head, he looked at the excited Edward and said.

"What, really, I was so happy for nothing. I thought that the first person I met after I became an international alchemist could help us find the Philosopher's Stone... It turned out that it was just an adjective I didn't know where I saw it. It's just a second-rate alchemist..." Edward sat back as if discouraged, curled his lips and mocked Ashes.

"Mr. Ashes, thank you very much for telling us this. This is of great help to us. After all, we only know about the existence of this thing from books and know that there is such a miraculous thing that can help us... Could you please Tell us something?"

Alphonse, who was different from Edward, looked at Ashes politely, and said something as if begging.

Ashes shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not impossible, the only suggestion I can give you is... don't touch this thing, unless you are willing to bear the sins involved..."

Edward slammed his fist on the table between the two, and said angrily, "Stop joking! You guy, you have no idea why we need the Philosopher's Stone."

"Okay, okay, I know I can't persuade you, and I will follow you. After all, you are not children anymore, and I am not someone of yours. These are just some well-intentioned suggestions. It is up to you whether you listen to it or not... Ashes waved his hands helplessly, and said with a smile.

Edward turned his head angrily and ignored Ashes, and Alphonse also nodded helplessly to Ashes to express his apology, and then everyone fell into silence.

……

Unknowingly, night had fallen, and Edward had already fallen into a deep sleep, but Alphonse remained awake, and he was also a little confused at the moment.

"Which...Mr. Ashes and Miss Fireproof, aren't you all sleeping? It's so late..." Alphonse asked Ashes who was reading something in a soft voice.

It was clearly late at night, and there was obviously no light, but this strange man was reading a book. Did he not want his eyes?Also, can you really see what is written in the book?

Ashes raised his head to look at Alphonse and smiled, and said softly, "I got off at the central station directly, and I will arrive at the station tonight, so I have to stay up late, and what about you, you are still a child, so late If you don’t sleep, you won’t grow taller.”
