Wind of Steel

"Block this area immediately!" Brett's direct subordinates commanded a hundred soldiers to surround the area tightly. "Okay, let's go." Brett said to Mustang and Hawkeye.

"Your Excellency, President." Mustang said, "There may be some danger inside, let Lieutenant Hawkeye and I go in and investigate first."

"It doesn't matter." Brett pressed the saber on his waist, "I'm not too old to move." After finishing speaking, he took the lead and walked over, and the direct subordinate immediately commanded ten soldiers to follow closely Bright.Tsk, damn it!Mustang followed helplessly.

Hearing the sound, Erlansi stood up slowly from the ground, turned her head and looked, the leader was the President Bright who invited him to be a national alchemist in the hospital, and next to him was Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawkeye.

"Yilan!?" Hawkai was taken aback when he saw Yilan Si like this. "Are you okay? I heard that your hotel in the military headquarters was under attack." When Kimblatt saw the ouroboros on Erlan Si's forehead, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. "We meet again, Miss Hoynt." The big president walked over.

Erlansi looked at everyone, but did not speak.

"Your Excellency, President, let me go..." Lieutenant Hawkeye was about to go there, but was stopped by Mustang.Mustang glanced at the President, then shook his head at her.

"Are you here to kill me?" Yi Erlansi turned her head to look at the soldiers who surrounded her.

"We are here to investigate the big explosion just now. Since Miss Hoynt is here, as long as you explain what happened just now." The president waved to the crowd, and the soldiers obediently put their rifles in their hands. Stand up.

"I just repelled the three guys who attacked me." Erlan Si replied flatly, "As for the explosion just now, it was my last blow to those three guys. Is that okay?"

"Well, since it's like this." This answer was obviously perfunctory, but Kimblatt didn't have any doubts, "Let's get out of here quickly, after all, this place is not very safe."

"Okay." Yi Erlan Si quickly walked to Lieutenant Hawk Ai's side.

"Okay, Hailu." President Bright said to his direct subordinates next to him, "Take a good look at this place and see if the attacker has left any clues." "Yes!" The man looked at Jin with admiration. Bright's soldiers stood at attention and saluted, and then commanded a part of the soldiers to explore the broken place bombed by Iran.

"However." Just as he was getting into the car, Brett said suddenly, "Miss Hoynent is really amazing, are you really not going to join the ranks of national alchemists?" "..." Irlan Si looked at it Brett glanced at him without saying a word, and went straight into the car. Hawkeye and Mustang also walked into the car.

It was very peaceful along the way, no one spoke, and finally arrived at the Grand Presidential Palace. "Continuing to stay in the military hotel is too dangerous. Let's stay here now and leave after the danger is gone." Brett got out of the car first, and said to Erlan Si.

Want to put me under house arrest?Because I didn't join the ranks of state alchemists, or something else? "It's not necessary." Yi Erlan Si also got out of the car. "I don't need protection, I'm not part of the military, I don't belong to the government."

"It is necessary for the country to protect talented people." Bright was not ready to let go.

"But I don't want to be restricted in my freedom." Yi Erlansi doesn't want to be put under house arrest. If she agrees at this time, it will be difficult for her to leave here.

"Your Excellency President, why don't you do this." Mustang said in a timely manner, "Since Miss Hoynt is not willing to live here, and we can't allow unknown people to attack." This guy is making the last effort, " Then let me protect Miss Hoynt. After all, I am also a national alchemist! Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you have a lot of affairs in your day, and you can't delay the affairs of the country because of these things." Mustang's words are high-sounding, reasonable, and Jin Brett Time couldn't find anything to say against it.

"Since it's like this, I'm going to trouble you, Commander." President Brett finally said, "You must protect Miss Hoynent." He took a last look at Erlan Si, who was all in formation, "Huoyin Miss Ent, I hope you can seriously consider joining the ranks of national alchemists. Also, I will block what happened tonight, because if the news is allowed to spread, it will cause panic among the citizens."

"It's up to you." Yi Erlansi replied, "Also, I will consider joining the ranks of national alchemists." I'm afraid I have to join now, right? "Then, I'll take my leave." Irlan Si gave a slight salute to President Bright, and then walked into the distance.Hawkeye and Mustang also bid farewell to Brett, and followed behind Erlansi.

The three of them walked for a long time, Mustang looked around, and then gave Hawkeye a wink.Hawkeye nodded, picked up the sniper gun, and walked into a dark corner. "Tell me, what happened?" Mustang asked. "It's nothing, I was just attacked by three strange guys." Irlan Si replied, "They happen to have the same tattoo as me." She pointed to the ouroboros on her forehead.

"What does this tattoo mean?" Mustang frowned after seeing the Ouroboros.

"As an alchemist, don't you even know these things?" Erlansi looked at Mustang suspiciously. "It refers to 'alchemy' itself." She paused, "But what is certain is that they have a great relationship with the death of Lieutenant Bis."

"What!?" Mustang was taken aback. "I gave Lieutenant Bis an amulet with the formation formation I built on it. It seems that it was taken away when Lieutenant Bis was killed." Irlan Si said calmly, "They obviously did it because of that The one who came to attack me because of the amulet, said something like what father wants to see me."

"Can you tell me in detail?" Mustang stared at Erlan Si closely. "Yes." Erlan Si replied, "but not now, I think we should leave the enemy's territory first." "We will leave tonight." Mustang said. "Is this okay, Colonel?" Lieutenant Hawkeye said suddenly.

"It's just that in order to avoid being attacked again, we have to leave here first." Mustang replied, "Besides, I came this time because of Bis's death. Now that the funeral is over, there is no need for us to stay here anymore " He lowered his voice, "More importantly, we have already found clues about Biss being killed."

"Okay." Hawkeye nodded in the dark.

The three came to the central garrison, where Mustang requisitioned a car and began to march towards the Eastern Command. "We will wait until tomorrow when the train runs, and then take the train at other stations." He said, "What is necessary now is to leave the Central Station first." Just for Lieutenant Bis, since he failed to save the adult and was targeted by the central people, and he didn't even know which force the enemy was, of course it was best to leave first.

Huokeai was driving the car in front, and Mustang and Erlansi were sitting in the back. "Should I talk about it now?" Mustang asked impatiently after leaving the center. "You should know what Edward and Al are looking for?" Irlan Si started with this question. "The Philosopher's Stone, I know about it." Mustang replied, "But I don't think it's possible to find that kind of legendary stuff."

"Who are you lying to?" Irlansi glanced at Mustang, "I heard from Dr. Mark that the unfinished Philosopher's Stone had already been used when the rebellion against Ishwell was suppressed, and you were called Ishweil." Hero of Xiuweier, don't tell me that I don't know that thing." Her tone was a little cold, "If you can't believe me, then I have nothing to say to you."

"Okay." Mustang sighed, and made up his mind, "I just don't want you to get involved. Since you said so, then I won't hide anything anymore." His tone was very solemn, "We did use something called redstone at the time, probably the unfinished Philosopher's Stone you mentioned. But I still think that the Philosopher's Stone is unlikely to be found or manufactured."

"That's because no systematic research has been conducted." Erlan Si's tone became calmer, "The formation of the Philosopher's Stone is very simple, and the key is the material." "Material?" Mustang felt that there was something in it question.

"Yes, the material is..." Yi Erlansi smiled miserably, "living human beings."

squeak--!

The car stopped for a moment. Although most of her attention was focused on driving, Lieutenant Hawkeye heard something. She was taken aback and almost drove into the ditch beside the road, and hurriedly stepped on it. brake. "I'm sorry, Colonel." Hawkeye apologized hastily.But Mustang ignored her, but looked at Erlan Si in surprise.

"What you said is true?" Mustang asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true." Erlan Si sneered, "Don't you believe it?"

"No, I'm just too surprised." Mustang smiled self-deprecatingly. "Then what does this have to do with Biss... wait? Could it be that Biss was investigating these things..."

"Edward and Al invaded the Central Fifth Research Institute, where they saw the formation of refining the Philosopher's Stone, and obtained some information." Irlansi narrated very calmly, "there were received The artificial man attacked, but the artificial man did not kill them for some reason, but expelled them. Later, Lieutenant Biss and Major Armstrong came to visit the sick, and they exchanged information, and were later discovered by President Bright and arrested. Strictly stop the investigation." She sighed, "I think Lieutenant Commander Bis must have found something later in the investigation before being silenced."

After Erlansi finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the carriage.

In a certain corner of the center, several black shadows got together again. "Damn it! That bastard!" Embi punched the ground, and the ground was immediately splashed with gravel. "Okay, don't feel sorry for yourself there." Last said, "It's beyond our ability now, let's wait for the orders of Father."

"Lars, are you sure you see a mark on her forehead?" the old guy asked someone standing somewhere.

"Yes, I can see clearly." The middle-aged man replied, "And there are many formations in her limbs."

"Really?" The old voice was silent for a while, "I see, you don't need to look for her anymore. I think I already know her origin. In this world, there is only one other person besides me. It is possible to create artificial humans, but I did not expect that he would actually create artificial humans." With his personality, it is really hard to believe that artificial humans will be created.

"Are we going to let her go like this?" Eunbi was obviously not reconciled.

"Don't touch her for the time being," said the old voice. "After all, she is also a candidate. You can continue to monitor her, but remember not to startle the enemy."
