Chapter 692 Seeds of Doubt
Edward stared at Scorpion.
Why did the other party appear here? Why did the attacker have to run here.
"What's up?"
Scorpion came back from his thoughts and looked at Edward in confusion as I waited.
"It's okay." Edward shook his head and looked around. The view here was wide, but the fog just now was too wide.
It's impossible to tell where the other party ran into.
"So what happened to you guys."
Xie asked directly.
"Someone attacked me," Edward said aloud.
Looking at the Scorpion in front of him, he wanted to find something wrong with him.
But Xie's face was as cold as ice, and there was no expression at all.
He hates facial paralysis.
Edward groaned inwardly.
He now plans to put this as the second option he hates the most.
The first option must be that others say he is a dwarf! !
"So you doubt me?" Xie looked at Edward sideways.
The look in the other person's eyes said a lot.
Edward fell silent, and now his suspicion of Scorpion had indeed increased a lot.
"I hope you can find the truth."
Xie shrugged, he didn't care about this kind of thing anyway.
Edward looked at the indifferent Scorpion and breathed a sigh of relief.
He actually didn't understand why he was so nervous inside, as if he was afraid that Xie was really the murderer.
He scratched his head.
The person in front of me should be an ordinary person. What is he worried about?
"You guys should go to the scene of the attack just now. It just so happens that I will go with you to take a look."
Scorpio said aloud.
Edward nodded.
What is needed most now is to look for clues first.
Xie walked past the two of them to the door and looked outside. The surroundings were open and anyone hiding should be able to spot him.
After all, it is the hut chosen by the hunter. In order to prevent wild beast attacks, this is a place specially chosen.
His sight finally focused on the ground in the distance, where there was only a strange magic circle drawn in chalk.
It's completely different from what Edward and I used.
Scorpion took just one glance to remember it completely.
"I think if you want to create mist over such a large area, you need a lot of water as a material."
Edward stepped forward and said.
"Mist?" Xie looked at Edward suspiciously.
Edward nodded and said: "The other party's alchemy should be water mist transformation."
"Can't the transformation of water mist be generated out of thin air?" Xie asked curiously.
Since it is an equal exchange, can't it be replaced with something else?
"Because it cannot be understood." Edward told the truth. If it cannot be understood, it cannot be completely transformed.
Scorpion suddenly realized that he had brought himself into it. Not everyone was like himself and could understand these material structures.
His path is to constantly understand these substances and then reorganize them.
"Then where does the water come from?" Edward frowned deeply, not because he felt confused, but because there was a sense of resentment in him.
Scorpion is thoughtful.
It seems that there is a way to bypass the understanding part and directly turn it into the result of refinement.
So what is it that makes Edward feel so angry?
Scorpion looked at Edward thoughtfully.
The three came to the place where they were attacked.
The village chief was waiting in shock for the three people to arrive.
"Village Chief, are you okay?" Edward stepped forward and asked with concern.
In his rush to chase the murderer, he had forgotten about the village chief who had a circle in his eye.
"It's okay, I just saw a fog, and you don't know where you went after that." The village chief patted his chest in shock and glanced at Xie, who was distracted.
"Have you caught anyone?" the village chief asked Edward.
Edward shook his head. This man was too cunning, but at least he was sure that he was in this village.
The village chief had a trace of disappointment on his face.
The distracted Xie glanced at the village chief and ignored him.
The most important thing now is to decompose alchemy. He can feel that alchemy will be of great benefit to him on the way to the root.
And it can also make up for various shortcomings of one's own.
As for other things, it has nothing to do with him for the time being.
"I want to know the alchemist's laboratory you were in." Edward asked aloud.
"There is nothing there anymore," the village chief said hesitantly.
"I'm just taking a look." Edward said directly.
Even if everything is disposed of, there should still be some clues left.
"Okay." The village chief nodded: "But it's tomorrow. The laboratory is a bit far away from here. I need to deal with village affairs first."
Edward nodded. It was only one day, so there was no problem.
Xie looked at Edward speechlessly. Was he too naive? There was already a big problem with the shooting.
And he also said that tomorrow and one night would be enough time to clean up everything.
But there was no point in Scorpio reminding him aloud.
The three of them were sent back by the village chief.
Scorpion just glanced at them.
The power level is too low and there is no threat at all.
The village chief’s house at night.
"What the hell are you doing!!" the village chief was roaring at a young man with gray hair.
"Do you know that if I hadn't been here, you would have been completely exposed!"
Edela is the name of this young man. He looks very skinny.
"Just a little bit, just a little bit close." The young man said with a crazy face: "As long as I have that thing, I will definitely become a national alchemist!"
He looked at the old man: "As long as I become the national alchemist, I can apply to the country to compensate the village, which will make the whole village get back on its feet."
The old man gritted his teeth and looked at the man in front of him.
This person is the alchemist supported by the entire village.
The sacrifice they made in order to push this man to the position of national alchemy was too great.
The entire village is now experiencing problems, and basically everyone in the village is burdened with debt.
If they really cut off contact with the people in front of them, what can they use to repay those debts.
But they never expected that this young man would fail in the end.
This made all their efforts in vain.
How could they be so willing?
When the man in front of them appeared in front of them again, he said that he had mastered the method to enter the ranks of national alchemists.
This once again raised their inner hope.
They just didn't expect that what would happen next would be a nightmare for them.
The village chief did not expect that the other party's so-called promotion possibility would need to be based on people's names.
Like gamblers, they put down their chips at the gambling table again and are completely unable to leave.
"Just put the blame on that person." The madness on the white-haired man's face slowly subsided, and he said calmly.
"Then how can we make those two national alchemists believe it?" The village chief was also worried.
Originally, what the man did today should be enough to make those two people suspicious of the Scorpion.
But the final result disappointed him. The two showed no sign at all.
"That's two kids." The man sneered.
"Just be prepared to blame everything on that man, kill him in the end, and make the two children think it was suicide out of fear of guilt."
Such a naive national alchemist is so easy to deceive.
The village chief's expression was uncertain, and finally he sighed heavily.
They have little choice.
"Then do you have information to kill that person? That person may also be an alchemist."
The man snorted coldly: "That person is just an ordinary person, let alone an ordinary person. Even the national alchemist may not be my opponent."
He put his hands on his waist. There was a gap in a cloth bag, and a faint hint of red could be seen inside.
"He was the passer-by who was involved."
As long as he puts the blame on them, he can take the alchemist assessment again with the things he prepared.
That woman said that as long as you use this thing, you can easily become an alchemist.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the crazy look appeared again on his face.
As long as he becomes an alchemist, those who laugh at him will die.
He has fallen into madness.
But the village chief didn't see the truth and sighed.
Early the next morning.
"Dong dong dong!!" A strong knock on the door woke Edward up.
He stood up from the bed instantly and looked around with a horrified expression.
"Wake up." Xie said coldly, "Your trouble is coming."
Edward looked towards the door.
"What happened!!?" He looked at his brother Alphonse in confusion.
Alphonse shook his head, he also had no idea what was going on.
The two men stepped forward and opened the door.
There was a crowd of people outside, and their roars were intertwined.
"Hand over the murderer!"
"Hand over the murderer!"
"Murderer."
All the villagers blocked the door with weapons.
"Wait a minute." Edward hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop these people from continuing to roar.
But his attempts to stop it were of no avail.
"Ahem." With a slight cough, all the villagers stopped and looked at the village chief who walked out of the crowd.
"Village Chief, what happened?"
Edward looked at the village chief with a puzzled look on his face, why he felt like something happened all night.
"Someone died in our village last night." The village chief said solemnly.
Edward's pupils shrank: "How did you die? Have you found the murderer?"
But this was completely different from the alchemist they were chasing. The other party always kidnapped people and then disappeared.
How could he possibly kill someone?
"He was chopped in the neck with a knife." The village chief said in a deep voice.
"Although we didn't see the murderer, we found this clothes." The village chief said and took out a red windbreaker.
Edward's pupils shrank when he saw the windbreaker. He had seen that windbreaker just in the past few days.
"It's Scorpion's clothes!" Alphonse said directly.
They had seen Xie wearing this dress in the past two days.
The two looked behind them. Xie was still thinking about something and was completely out of state.
Maybe he noticed the sight.
Xie turned his head and cast a confused look.
