Edward looked at the ashes that peeled the oranges for himself, and asked helplessly.Logically speaking, isn't this for patients?And do you really have nothing to do?

"Hey, can't I stay here? What a cruel and ruthless child... In fact, there is one more thing. Mustang wants me to accompany you, because according to information, which town seems to have a slightly different atmosphere."

Ashes swallowed the orange in his mouth, looked at Edward with a smile, and his tone was full of mystery and fun.

"Oh, what is the different atmosphere that allows him to send out two national alchemists at once? Why can't I handle anything by myself!" Edward couldn't help curling his lips, and said with some disdain.

"What else can it be? Which town, as I said before, has a cult that has almost swept across the entire town, and it controls the people very well... even surpassing the government's control... Tell me, what kind of atmosphere can it be? Ashes smiled and looked at the disdainful Edward.

Edward frowned when he heard the words, and after thinking for a moment, he asked Ashes uncertainly, "You mean... turmoil?"

"So, there is just this kind of atmosphere, but it is no exaggeration to say that religion, especially cults, is a time bomb that may detonate at any time, so let us go together. After all...we really don't want to see Your hands are stained with blood..." Ashes couldn't help but feel a little heavy in his tone, and Edward's spine felt a chill when he heard it.

"Well, you don't have to worry too much. It's just a possibility. What if it's just a religion that persuades people to be good? Everything is just speculation. Before it's implemented, it's all possible..." Ashes Looking at Edward with a heavy expression, he laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

……

On the streets of Real, everyone has smiles on their faces and looks like they are thriving. It is just a remote town, but it is full of humanity.

The tavern by the side of the street was full of people, and a man’s voice came from the old-fashioned radio on the table, “Everyone in the world can be redeemed if they believe in and worship God, and their sins can be redeemed. I am the sun in the sky, and I am your parents..."

Sitting on the bar, Ashes smiled and listened to the teachings that came from his ear, and whispered to the fire prevention woman next to him with a smile, "I think the king's family just didn't publicize well, otherwise they wouldn't be deserted..."

The fire-proof girl cast a reproachful glance at Ashes, and said helplessly, "Master Ashes, please don't make fun of the dead..."

Edward ignored Ashes' muttering to himself, but listened to the voice on the radio, frowned and asked the shopkeeper, "Mr. shopkeeper, I want to ask, what's the situation with this broadcast?"

The shopkeeper who was wiping the glass raised his head and looked at Edward and said with a smile, "Are you a foreigner? I don't know, it's normal. This is His Majesty Pope Cornelo. He came to our town a few years ago and asked We spread the doctrine, he is the messenger of God, he can make the living live forever, he can bring the dead back to life, he is a great person who masters miracles!"

"The living live forever, the dead are resurrected. It doesn't sound like a truth..." Edward frowned and said to himself.

Based on what I heard from the believers now, it is almost certain that this is a cult... Using some means to show so-called miracles to the ignorant townspeople, and then make them believe in religion, in order to bluff and deceive...

I just hope that their goal is money or something else, not a rebellion that will cause riots. Thinking of this, Edward glanced at Ashes who was still smiling beside him, feeling a little uncomfortable...

He has seen it with his own eyes, this guy burns the almost irresistible enemy into ashes, and he can still talk and joke with a smile. In Edward's eyes, Ashes is really a cold-blooded person at this moment, and he doesn't care about other people's lives at all...

The owner of the tavern suddenly remembered something, and Edward smiled and said, "By the way, later, His Excellency the Pope is going to perform miracles in the square. You might as well go and see, maybe you can also become believers of the Leiter Sect. It's a good thing for you."

Hearing the boss's suggestion, Edward laughed and said, "Of course, of course we will go and have a look. You said yes, Mr. Ashes."

Originally Edward thought that Ashes would follow his own words, after all, the purpose of the two people's trip was the Pope Cornelo of Leiterism, but Edward heard Ashes say impatiently, "Hey, we must go Is it? I still want to accompany my young lady to experience the simple folk customs here..."

Edward almost choked himself to death with a sip of water, turned his head to look at Ashes and said seriously, "You bastard, do you have a priority? Have you forgotten the purpose of our coming here!"

Seeing Edward with a serious face, Ashes shrugged helplessly, "Okay, go, can I go? Really, you are not cute at all, you will not grow tall in the future~"

"I'm not a child! I will definitely grow taller in the future! You guys, you are so dishonest!" Edward's furious appearance made the whole tavern laugh, and the happy atmosphere spread among everyone...

……

"Hey, this is the church of the Leiter Church, it's really grand, it looks like you've made a lot of money..." Hui Hui and others came to the door of the church that was already crowded with people, looked at the magnificent church, and looked sideways.

It's not equal at all. The buildings in the whole town are low adobe brick houses, but this church is a pure white stone building. Not to mention the cost of construction, even the annual maintenance is a sum of money. No small fee...

In such a remote town, the sudden appearance of such a magnificent church is really... doubtful.

Without keeping everyone waiting, a middle-aged man in a black robe slowly came to the center of the square amidst the petals of flowers and the applause of everyone, and smiled and stretched out his hand to signal to everyone.

Looking at the crowd without saying a word, he took a falling flower casually, a red light flashed in his hand, and the flower turned into a huge flower gem statue under the eyes of everyone, which looked very magical and attracted The crowd cheered.

"Is this the art of miracles? Judging by the reaction, it's completely alchemy..." Edward stood on the wooden box, watching the crowd cheering in the center of the square, and the benevolent Cornelo squinted his eyes and said.

"That's right, but... he didn't follow the principle of equivalent exchange. Logically speaking, one quality can only be exchanged for one quality, and he also turned plants into minerals...Brother, can it be said that he has Is there a Philosopher's Stone?" Alphonse looked at Edward, asking questions with a somewhat expectant tone.

"Ah, it shouldn't be wrong. He's wearing a red gemstone ring, so it should be it. Really, it didn't take much effort..." Edward looked fiercely, looking at the Cornelo priest who turned and left in the middle of the square. Zong.

Ashes on the side heard the two bandit-like speeches, and was a little speechless. He picked up Edward's clothes, lifted him up and said with a smile, "Even if it is, you can't just go up and grab it. Let's understand the situation first... "

Under the mingling of Edward's dancing resistance and Alphonse's helplessness, Ashes put Edward down, and led the fire prevention girl to the square where the crowd had dispersed and only a few people...

Brother Elric also hurriedly followed.Soon a few people came to the place where the previous Pope Conero performed the miracle. Looking at the gemstone statue left in the center of the square in front of him, Ashes instinctively felt a little disgusted...

Looking at the ashes of the beautiful statue and the fire-proof woman beside her, you can feel that this is no miracle, it is a crime at all, refining the soul into matter, the fluctuation of the soul is still on the statue, exuding waves of malice...

The Elric brothers on the side naturally couldn't sense the fluctuations of the soul, they just marveled at the power of the Philosopher's Stone, it was really miraculous that it could really create something out of nothing.

In the eyes of the Elric brothers, the gemstone statue in front of them is no different from a real gemstone. It is a real gemstone. It is different from the cover-up method that turned coal into gold. It has really changed the properties and quality of the material. It's a miracle...

Ashes, who was disgusted by this statue, pulled the fireproof woman and turned away from the statue, heading towards the door of the church...

The Elric brothers behind him didn't notice Ashes' anomaly, and hurriedly followed, complaining, "Really, what's the rush, we still want to study how the Philosopher's Stone changes the nature and quality of matter. What about..."

Ashes took a deep breath, ignored Edward, pushed open the door of the church, and walked in...

"What a strange guy, Alphonse, have you offended him?" Edward looked at the strange ashes and asked his brother in confusion

"Hey? Why me? I didn't, brother, and I don't know why Mr. Ashes looks a little angry..." the cute Alphonse scratched his head, looked at Ashes in front of him, and said inexplicably.

The four of them entered the church, looking at the magnificent interior and the statue of the Great God Leiter in front, Ashes felt more malice. This so-called God statue was also made of the Philosopher's Stone and human souls.

Ashes frowned and looked at the solemn statue standing in the center of the hall, feeling the urge to smash it...

Ashes are not uncomfortable, but feel disgusting... Unlike the souls that Ashes felt or even absorbed in the world of black souls, the souls here, especially those who are constantly crying, are really unbearable, full of malice, full of resentment , It is really hard to accept the ashes that can feel the soul. How these souls... are made... It is really hard to understand...

Chapter 135 The Equivalent of the Soul

"Great God, please listen to my wish, please resurrect that person..." A girl in a white dress knelt in front of the statue, praying devoutly, telling her wish to the revered god...
