Can't Stop Drawing

The bed and toiletries next to the two are not in the style of Amestris, but in a more refined modern shape that Edward has been in contact with for a while.

There is an LED light tube above the head, emitting a faint white light to illuminate the small room.There is still a weak current on the railing at the door, and occasionally blue arcs can be seen flashing.

"These two used some method to sneak into our returning transport ship and successfully sneaked into our city in the west. They destroyed several cleaning robots and tried to smash the windows of shops to rob them. They have been detained by our public security officers a few days ago."

Ryoko Asakura showed everything on the screen and showed Edward a video.

In the video, several policemen in black power armor knocked Yao Lin down with stun guns one after another. Lan Fang tried to protect Yao Lin and fight against the power police, but was caught by a power police and directly broke his leg joints .

Even though there was no sound in the video, Edward could still make up a crisp clicking sound in his brain, and one of Lan Fang's legs was immediately crippled.

Edward's face turned pale.

"At present, the two are suspected of destroying public property, robbery, and assaulting the police. They are waiting for the verdict of the local court. If you have a good relationship with them, Mr. Edward, you can talk to us, and we can make peace and let the court give a lighter sentence .” After Asakura Ryoko finished speaking, she turned off the light screen.

Edward didn't speak, neither did Olivia.

Edward didn't know whether he should say good things to Yao Lin, or whether he should help Yao Lin deal with the follow-up mess.

Although Asakura Ryoko said it very simply, just talking to them can make the court sentence lighter.

But in the world of alchemists, equivalent exchange is an extremely important principle. This time I talked to Asakura Ryoko, but I don't know what it will consume.

In fact, Edward was not very willing to consume something that Edward didn't know about Yao Lin and Lan Fang's commutation of sentences.

Or dare not.

It's like he once thought that human body refining only needs enough human body substance and soul information to exchange for the person he wants.

But when it came time for the two brothers to carry out the actual operation, the price they paid was unbearable for them.

And Olivia was simply shocked when she didn't speak. She also knew the skills of Yao Lin and Lan Fang, but the two were knocked down by the so-called police, and they had no ability to resist in front of the police. Via had to reassess the coalition's technology.

Even knowing that the coalition government has a high level of technical proficiency, far surpassing Amestris, and being limited by her own experience, Olivia can only look for references from reality to infer the strength of the coalition government.

Just like the interstellar age imagined by human beings in the real world, human beings still maintain the political system on the earth. In fact, the productive forces have developed greatly. The day when human beings step into the star sea, the times have long changed.

It is difficult for people to escape their own historical limitations.

In the exchanges with Asakura Ryoko these days, Olivia also knows that the most basic security personnel of the coalition government are the police. A violent institution reserved by Leith.

It is a pity that Amistelis has no police. It is a military country, and the role of the police is actually assumed by some soldiers.

Theoretically the weakest policeman, wearing power armor, can also fight against experts like Lan Fang and Yao Lin. One can imagine how terrifying the strength of this army will be if all soldiers in the army have these power armors.

Seeing that the two were not talking, Asakura Ryoko glanced at Olivia indiscriminately, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Since Link is very optimistic about Olivia, Ryoko Asakura doesn't mind pushing her to make her sit more firmly in the position of President Amestris.

Yesterday, when Asakura Ryoko communicated with Olivia again, she mentioned to her that a police system could be established, so that she could adapt to the daily life after being merged into the coalition government in advance.

"Miss Asakura, how is Lan Fang's leg?"

He didn't pay attention when he looked at the light screen for the first time. Edward didn't know whether Lan Fang's leg was still broken, so he couldn't help asking.

Asakura Ryoko put away her smile and said seriously: "Her leg is not a problem, we have a complete medical system that can heal her leg injury.

"If necessary, you can also replace it with a mechanical prosthetic. You have experienced our mechanical prosthetics, and they are guaranteed to be exactly the same as real ones."

The mechanical prosthetics of the United Government (Earth) are trying to imitate human limbs as much as possible and restore the sense of touch of the human body. This can benefit all unfortunate people who are disabled due to accidents, and can also prepare for the next step of manufacturing artificial intelligence.

However, the mechanical armor of Amistris, because of its unique alchemy world view, puts the first emphasis on functionality, and has not developed in the direction of restoring the touch of human limbs at all, or it does not have that level of technology if it wants to develop.

"Therapy and mechanical prosthetics are not free, are they?" Edward asked with a heavy face.

"It's really not free."

Edward took a deep breath and asked, "If I want them to be acquitted, what price will I have to pay?"

"Acquittal is impossible, the court will not allow it, and the government will not allow it." Asakura Ryoko replied flatly.

"Then how far can you go?"

"Heal their wounds and restore the girl's ability to move without going to jail, but she needs to live within the area we stipulate." Ryoko Asakura summoned another light screen and tapped on it casually, "We Give them certain jobs, and if not, technical training. And they need to live here — ten years.”

Flipping over, Asakura Ryoko turned the light screen over and showed it to Edward.

"..."

Chapter 441 Agreement, Asakura Ryoko's Suggestion

After a few breaths of silence, Edward spoke.

"I—choose to help them."

Ryoko Asakura smiled and said softly, "The right choice."

Flicking in the air, Asakura Ryoko took out three paper contracts from somewhere, handed them to Edward, and after Edward took them, he took out a gel pen.

"Come on, sign this guarantee agreement."

Spreading his right hand, Asakura Ryoko stood there smiling and looking at Edward, neither urging nor explaining.

Holding this guarantee agreement, Edward looked confused.

Although everyone speaks the same words and can understand each other, this does not mean that the words are universal and can be understood by each other.

The text of Amistris is a phonetic script similar to English, and the alphabet looks similar to English, the official language of the coalition government, but are they the same?
