Chapter 691 Clues
The three of them walked out of the room.
The villagers were fetching water from the newly established well, and someone saw the three people.
All the villagers turned to look at the three people and became silent.
There was alienation in that cold gaze.
"It seems that your so-called national alchemist is not very lovable either."
Scorpio said aloud.
Edward scratched his head in embarrassment. When he and Alphonse first came to this village, they did not encounter this kind of situation.
Why did it turn out like this after suddenly going out for a chase?
"There may be some misunderstanding." Alphonse tried to explain.
At this time the village chief walked out from the side.
"You two, the room has been arranged for you."
In comparison, the village chief was much more respectful.
The village chief looked at Xie and asked, "Who is this?"
"Just an ordinary suspect." Xie shrugged indifferently.
"Ah." The village chief looked at Xie in surprise, but the other party did not restrict his movements in any way.
Edward saw the village chief's doubts and said: "I just have a certain suspicion. For the time being, he needs to cooperate with us."
However, Edward still glanced at Xie with confusion. He did not expect that this man would directly admit the identity of the suspect.
Most people don't want to be given this title.
"That's right." The village chief nodded and glanced at Xie with turbid eyes.
"You guys, come with me."
The village chief began to lead the way.
The entire village is built in a square shape, and the roads in all directions are very regular, but the village chief took the three of them to a small hillside not far from the village.
"This used to be the place where the hunters in our village lived, but it was also one of the missing people. This will also facilitate your investigation." The village chief explained.
Edward nodded, this was very convenient and he had no objection.
When I walked to the house on the mountain, it was tied up with chains. The village chief took out the key and opened the chains.
"It's spacious here, enough for the three of you to live in. If you have any questions, you can always come to me. I live in the house in the middle of the village."
The village chief said slowly.
"Wait a minute." Edward happened to have a question he wanted to ask at this time: "I just had a question I wanted to ask. Those villagers seem to have some opinions on us."
The village chief hesitated for a moment and said, "They don't have a problem with you, they have a problem with the national alchemist."
Edward and Alphonse looked at each other and asked in unison: "Can you tell me?"
Maybe the clue is here.
The village chief thought for a while and said: "There was an alchemist in our village once. At that time, all of us in the village supported that alchemist. However, the other party failed in the national alchemist assessment and disappeared after that. The village spent all its money on that man."
"Originally, we thought that after the other party became the national alchemist, he could help our village become rich, but it turned out to be a pity." The village chief sighed.
"From that time on, the villagers had a deep prejudice against the state alchemist."
Edward's eyes lit up. As for the villagers' affairs with the national alchemist, he didn't care at all.
He just finally saw a clue.
"Can you tell me more about this person?" Edward said directly.
The village chief thought for a moment and said, "If you want to know more, come with me. I can't explain his affairs for a while, and I still have things to do."
"That's troublesome." Edward said sincerely and followed the village chief towards the village.
Alphonse looked at Scorpion and shrugged when he saw Scorpion's expressionless face.
Only two people walked into the house.
Go inside.
Xie asked curiously: "What exactly is the so-called alchemy?"
His purpose of getting close to the two brothers was for the so-called alchemy.
Although the best way is to extract Edward's brain, he cannot yet lock in the root powerhouse, and he doesn't want to go too far yet.
"Alchemy." Alphonse looked at Scorpion and explained slowly: "The essence of alchemy is to understand the inner laws of matter. There are three points in total: understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction."
"But alchemy is not created out of thin air. Equivalent exchange is the iron law of alchemy."
Listening to Alphonse's explanation, Scorpion had a general structure of alchemy.
The understanding of things is the basis of alchemy, coupled with the destruction and reorganization of the alchemy circle.
Scorpion is thoughtful.
Except for the strong ones at the root level, this world itself has very little appeal to him.
Let alone other energies here, even natural energy is pitifully small, and it is really difficult to save anything useful.
But this alchemy.
If he could master it thoroughly, it might allow him to go a step further.
Even if the real body is imprisoned in the hands of Uchiha Jin, he can continue to make progress.
The Six Paths level does not require any special training, it is completely the understanding of natural energy.
The more you understand it, the more powerful it will be.
Compared to Namikaze Minato and Ohnoki, he is much stronger.
As long as the clone understands enough, the understanding in the mind will be sent back to the main body.
Directly upgrade in place.
Just then.
"Click!" A gunshot sounded, like something exploded.
Alphonse turned quickly.
"Brother is in trouble."
He rushed out without thinking.
Scorpion looked at the other party who rushed out speechlessly. Did he give up on him completely?
However.
• ttka n• ￠ ０
This matter has little to do with him.
He clapped his hands and pressed them on the ground.
A layer of mysterious light quickly condensed on the ground. If Edward saw it, he would definitely find that it was his alchemy array.
Electric arcs flickered on the alchemy array.
An iron knife quickly condensed from the ground.
Scorpion held the iron knife and narrowed his eyes.
"The breath of the root."
Edward originally followed the village chief to the back field of the village.
"It's harvest time recently. Everything in our village is planted together. I have to go over and take a look to prevent any trouble."
The village chief walked in front and talked about the things in the village.
As the village chief, there are many things to manage.
He has to take care of the trivial matters of the whole village.
Edward had a headache when he heard it.
"That..."
Just as he was about to ask about the alchemist in the village, layers of thick fog suddenly swept over.
Edward's pupils shrank, and he was about to reach out and pull the village chief behind him, but the thick fog blocked his sight, and he reached out and touched nothing.
"Bang!"
A crisp sound rang out, and Edward quickly tilted his head, and a bloody cut was made on his cheek.
"Gun!!"
"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out, and Edward quickly squatted down, and a bullet was knocked off his hair.
He clapped his hands together and pressed them on the ground.
With the strong arc flashing.
The steel wall condensed in front of him.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
The steel wall made a clear sound when it was hit by the bullet.
"Sure enough, it's here." Edward clapped his hands on the steel wall, and fans slowly condensed on the four sides of the steel wall.
With the arc flashing, the fans quickly fanned.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Four gunshots rang out, and the four fans were blown up by four shots.
Edward frowned after taking a look. The other party used fog to block his sight, and the fan could easily become a target of attack.
This fog must be the work of the alchemist, otherwise how could such a thick fog be born out of thin air.
"We must find a way to get out of here."
Edward's eyes turned back and forth, and he was trying to find a way to break the situation.
"Bang!" A muffled sound of flesh sounded, and there was a muffled groan.
Then there was a strong gust of wind, which blew away the thick fog.
Edward then emerged from the steel wall and saw a figure running away in the distance.
Alphonse came to Edward.
"Brother."
"Chase!"
Edward had already chased the figure in the distance after he finished speaking, and Alphonse followed closely behind.
Edward glanced at the alchemy array not far away.
That was the alchemy array used by the enemy using alchemy.
The two chased each other's figures.
The village chief slowly walked out from the other side and looked at the backs of the two with a complicated expression.
Finally, he sighed helplessly.
The enemy led Edward and his brother around in a big circle.
When they finally saw the road of pursuit, they both frowned at the same time, because that was the road leading to the hunter's house.
When they were not far from the hunter's house.
The enemy also stopped and turned to look at the two brothers. The other party was wearing a green linen suit and a sack on his head.
A white alchemy array appeared under his feet.
He stretched out his hand and slapped the ground.
"Practice!!!"
The green phone flashed, and a strong fog quickly appeared, instantly covering all directions.
"The same trick doesn't work on me."
Edward clapped his hands, and a huge fan quickly condensed. With the flashing of the arc, the fan quickly fanned.
The strong wind quickly blew away all the thick fog in front of him.
At the same time, the person they were chasing had disappeared.
"Someone drew an alchemy array for him." Edward said in a deep voice.
Anyone can draw an alchemy array, but only alchemists can use alchemy.
The two looked around at a place with few people. Even if they wanted to get here from the village, they would have to walk a distance.
Then there was only one person who was suspected.
"Scorpion."
Edward walked directly into the door and opened it.
He saw Scorpion who was thinking.
"You are back?" Scorpion turned his head and looked at the two of them when he heard the noise.
Now he was still thinking about why a small alchemy array would be related to the root powerhouse.
That kind of weird feeling of nothingness can only be possessed by a warm powerhouse.
If you don't feel it carefully, it is easy to ignore it.
Although he has not felt the second root powerhouse, Uchiha Jin is enough to be a representative of this level.
The breath similar to the other party must be the root.
He looked at Edward and his brother absent-mindedly.
"So soon, what happened?"
Edward stared at Scorpion.
