Legend of Fireman's Dimensional Journey

"So, Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, are you free? By the way, when did you return to the central..." Standing outside the door of the single room in the library, Ashes looked at Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, who was doing homework with Brother Elric, helplessly. sigh...

"Why, I'm very busy. I just heard that Brother Elric is here, so I just came over to say hello...Recently, because the first branch library was burned down, my work has come to a standstill... Some criminal case materials have disappeared , There is absolutely no way..." Hughes sighed helplessly, and he slumped on the table with a helpless look...

Ashes standing behind Hughes felt that this guy was Nohara Hiroshi from Crayon Shin-chan...

On the contrary, it was the Elric brothers who heard Hughes' complaint and looked at each other, then looked at a woman wearing glasses and dressed in rustic clothes standing beside them.

"Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, this person's name is Siska. He has read many books in the first branch library, so he should be able to help you!" Edward glanced at the cute Siska and said to Hughes with a smile.

"I have indeed read the documents of the criminal case, and I still remember it...but..." the woman named Siska adjusted her glasses and said a little unconfidently.

The decadent Hughes suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes, and stood up, "Okay! Go to work now! Our salary is very high!"

After speaking, he grabbed Siska by the collar and left the library happily...

"This guy, if he wasn't wearing a military uniform, someone would believe he was a kidnapper..." Ashes looked at Hughes who was leaving, and sighed helplessly.

Turning his head to look at Edward and Alphonse and picking up a handwritten document on the table, Ashes laughed, "So... you guys are learning how to cook recently? Are you going to work hard in the direction of being a home cook?"

Edward looked at the mocking Ashes, covered his head and said helplessly, "Are you really an alchemist? These are materials written in code words, and they are research materials for the Philosopher's Stone!"

"Are you still pursuing this thing...Well, it's up to you, I can only say, don't hold out too much hope, after all, as much hope, there will be as much disappointment..." Ashes narrowed his eyes, looked at Edward and said with a smile .

"You bastard, can't you say something nice? Maybe we can recover our bodies soon!" Edward said confidently to Ashes.

"Then I can only wish you good luck... that's all I can say. I have something to check myself, so I won't disturb your work. Bye!" Ashes smiled, stood up, and turned around with the fireproof girl. leave.

"What are you doing here!" Edward looked at Ashes who had left, and said helplessly...

Ashes stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Edward and said with a smile, "What are you doing? It's nothing, just read a book, and check how the two of you are doing on the way."

Looking at the leaving ashes, Edward looked confused, "Look at our state, what does this guy mean..." Edward frowned, and asked Alphonse beside him.

Alphonse also tilted his head, and said inexplicably, "Who knows, Mr. Ash has always been mysterious, and no one knows what he will do in the next second..."

"Leave him alone, we still have a lot of things to do! There may be something we need here!" Edward patted the mountain of materials on the table, and said to Alphonse expectantly.

……

Ashes brought the fireproof girl to a private room, held a stack of books and said, "Okay, we should do something we should do, don't worry about the pair of brothers for the time being, and then we have to check it out. Does the central library have anything we need..."

A few days passed in a flash, and Ashes also had a better understanding of the so-called alchemy in this world, but more about this country. I have to say that this country is beyond Ashes' imagination.

In just one or two hundred years, this country has been built so strong that it can create friction with many surrounding countries at the same time, and can easily shut out all these countries, and the country is hardly affected by it...

It is really beyond imagination. The country that was originally just a small country has expanded its territory by nearly five times in just a hundred years, but the strange thing is that in the process of expansion, it is always tasted and stopped.

Looting a part of the land from the surrounding countries, and then deploying border defenses, turned around and continued to expand in another direction, ignoring the previously invaded countries...

The purpose is very clear, as if there are gold mountains and silver mountains in these plundered lands.

But in fact it's not... Most of the occupied land is barren and uninhabited, just like the Ishwar I knew before, where except for the native Ishwar people, almost nothing is raised, for the sake of the rich land?No, for more population?Then why wipe out the Ishwar people?

The more Ashes think about it, the more he feels that there is something wrong with this country, not just the territory, but also a series of behaviors such as military affairs, politics, scientific research, decision-making, etc. are full of weirdness, as if they don't care whether the country is rich or not, but only care about the territory...

Just when Ashes was deep in thought, Edward suddenly shouted angrily in the corridor, "Are you kidding me!"

Ashes put down the book in his hand, and led the fire-proof girl to the next room, where Brother Elric was...

Pushing open the closed door, I saw the Elric brothers sitting on the ground in frustration, books and materials scattered all over the floor, and two panicked guards beside them...

That's right, Brother Elric, or Fullmetal Alchemist Edward, was assigned a guard...

But Ashes didn't... Originally, Ashes cared a lot, and went to Hughes to ask why Xiaodouding had an exclusive guard and why he didn't...

The answer he received was that the guards were to protect the national alchemists from being attacked by Scarface, but Ashes could solve Scarface by himself, so he simply didn't arrange guards for him, it was as simple as that...

"What's wrong? Edward, why is there such an expression? Can't the code be deciphered?" Ashes leaned against the door frame and said to Edward inside the door with a smile on his face.

"It has been deciphered, we have already deciphered the code," Alphonse said in a low tone.

The guard on the side said happily, "Really, isn't this very good?"

Edward beat the ground angrily, and said emotionally, "What's the matter, this kind of thing! The research of demons, things that should not be pursued, the blood of lambs...you already knew it, right...Mr. Ashes!"

After speaking, Edward stared at Ashes who was leaning against the door frame and still smiling.

Ashes smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, I know that the material of the Philosopher's Stone is human beings, or the souls of human beings, that's why I..."

"That's why you said that this thing is not something we can pursue, and that's why you said it's a sinful thing... that's right!" Edward said angrily, with a face full of unwillingness and pain!

Ashes straightened his face slightly, and said earnestly, "That's right, that's why I've warned you again and again, but... this is the path you choose, how you walk and where you can lead to is all up to you." Your own business."

Alphonse, who was silent for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and said to Edward in shock, "Doctor Marcus used to study the Philosopher's Stone for the country, that is to say... this is a study of the country, and the country actually uses people as research materials." !"

"The country... unexpectedly..." Edward and the two guards on the side were stunned by Alphonse's words, that's right... this is a study of the country...

Chapter 145 The Truth After the Truth

Sitting in the coffee shop, Ashes leisurely sips the coffee in his cup, looks at the sunset in the sky, and laments the beauty of life...

The fire-proof girl on the side looked worriedly into the distance, "Master Ashes, Brother Elric... Are they all right?"

Ashes took a sip of the bitter coffee in the cup leisurely, and said calmly, "What can happen? It's just a little blow on the road of research... I believe they can survive."

The fire-proof woman sighed, and said worriedly, "I hope so... But, Lord Ashes, this country in this world is really not very friendly as you said... It's really..."

Ashes laughed, "You are still too naive. Most countries are like this, just like Rhodeland, which was praised by countless people before, where the greatest god-king lives, isn't it still the same? Otherwise, you think the legendary Are the secrets of fire and the ring of darkness of the undead created by them on a whim and with a clap of hands? Of course not... This is the research result based on countless corpses..."
