After finishing speaking, watching Hughes said, "My discovery is very simple...that is, there is a problem in this country!"
Hughes frowned, looked at Ashes puzzled, and asked hesitantly, "Um... isn't what I just said a problem with this country?"
"Although it is true, but not all. I carefully read the records about the history of the country in the library... Guess what I found?" Ashes said with a mysterious smile and looked at Hughes with a bewildered expression.
"From the founding of the country to the present, this country has invaded countless times and fought countless wars. It has never failed, but it has never won incompletely... Looting a part of the territory with unknown meaning, and then turning around to invade the next country... And so on , causing this country to have conflicts with multiple neighboring countries at the same time, but it will not fail!"
Ashes paused, and continued, "All the major inventions in the early stage... All the technologies needed by the countries in the early stage seemed to appear out of thin air... Everything seemed very normal, but it couldn't stand up to scrutiny at all..."
After hearing Ashes' words, Hughes felt his throat dry out, and felt that the problem he had discovered might indeed be a younger brother... Looking at the map on the table, he said in disbelief, "You mean... the establishment of this country, Is it for this formation?"
Chapter 155
The matter of Hughes has been properly arranged. The accommodation originally arranged for him was a hotel in the city...but he didn't want it, thinking that the hotel was not safe enough. He didn't know where to find a low-rent house, lived in it, and contacted It also became Hughes' unilateral contact with Ashes, but Ashes hasn't seen him for a long time recently...
Now Hughes has begun to avenge himself, the first thing to do is to find out the situation of the enemy and ourselves.
Or in other words, find out who can and cannot be trusted!Of course, adhering to the principle of doubting everything, Hughes also checked the background of Ashes, but found nothing, which also made Hughes more curious about Ashes...
An unkillable, very powerful alchemist suddenly appeared. No matter how he thought about it, he felt weird, but he helped himself and told himself that something was true... That's why Hughes needed to find another place to live, but he didn't tell Ashes the address , but the reason to keep in touch...
He has completely disappeared now... He wants to find all the secrets of this country in the shadows. Of course, this is Hughes' own idea. How could he know that Ashes can fix her soul and find him at any time...
……
"Yo, welcome to the Central, Mustang, but why did you bring a group of people here?" Ashes greeted Mustang at the station and a team that had been following Mustang before.
"Oh, Mr. Ashes, Miss Fireproof, long time no see, this group of people is easy for me to use... I simply transferred them from the east." Mustang, who got out of the car, saw Ashes and Fireproof coming to greet him. Female, came up with a smile.
Suddenly Mustang approached Ashes and asked, "Ash...you have been in the center, do you know something?"
"What... what are you asking?" Ashes looked at the smiling Mustang, couldn't help but took a step back, and asked nervously...
It's not because of Hui Ember's guilty conscience, it's mainly because Mustang's expression looks a little cautious and panicky now.
"What am I asking? Don't you know? What do I care about now...don't you know?" Mustang looked at Ashes who had taken a step back, took another step closer, leaned close to Ashes again, squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Is it about Hughes? I don't have any clues at all... I really don't know!" Ashes took another step back.
Mustang went a step further, and asked in a low voice with a cold face, "The Philosopher's Stone! Right! Hughes was killed because you knew this!"
Ashes froze for a moment, then said with a smile, "Don't you already know all this, why are you asking me?"
"Yeah, you're right, I know everything, why are you still asking..." Mustang smiled and stepped back, smiling again and said, "Well, in short, I will be transferred to the central government now. Please take care of me, Alchemist of Ashes!"
Mustang and his party will first go to the military headquarters to report, and then there will be a welcome meeting to clean up the dust. Of course, only Ashes and Fireproof Girls will come to attend.
Mustang looked at the people at the table, looked at Ashes suspiciously and asked, "Where are Major Armstrong and Brother Elric? Why don't you see them?"
Ashes waved his hands helplessly and said, "Edward and the others said some time ago that they went to find his master and went to the south. Two days ago, Major Armstrong said that he was going on a mission with the President, and he also left... for details. I didn't even ask where it was."
"Huh? So everyone has something to do, and you are the only one who is idle...Is that what you mean..." Mustang looked at Ashes teasingly, and asked with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, you're right, that's why I'm so free, but... I'm not completely idle, I suddenly became interested in history recently... Ah, the central library is really a good place, you can look up everything Got it!" Ashes narrowed his eyes, and casually said to Mustang.
"Is there a library? Is there any progress? Research matters..." Mustang also laughed and asked casually.
"Not at all... It looks like the library doesn't have enough books! Really, even though it's the National Library, the materials are so incomplete!" Ashes sighed helplessly, suddenly his eyes widened, and he looked at Mustang seriously. But the tone was still casual and said, "I can't find anything at all. I'm disappointed in this library!"
Mustang was stunned for a moment when he heard Hui Hui's words, and then said with a serious face, "Well... have you asked the librarian? You know, they read books a lot, maybe you missed something. Maybe..."
"Maybe, why don't you help me look up some historical materials? You know, I don't like to read books, and I don't like to talk to strangers!" Ashes looked at Mustang with a smile, and said slowly, and didn't ask for help at all. Attitude.
Mustang picked up the cup, smiled and said, "I see, I'll check it out for you, you are really... can't you read more books? Otherwise, your national alchemist will not be able to keep it! "
Ashes also picked up the cup and laughed, "Can't keep it? Impossible, no one can take it away from me!"
After the two clinked glasses, they both burst into laughter.Laughter and laughter resumed at the dinner table.
Soon, the clean-up banquet... or the dinner party ended in a cheerful atmosphere.
After the end, Ashes and Fireproof Girl disappeared, and Mustang's team also found an old warehouse as a secret meeting room, and started an internal meeting.
Lieutenant Lisa looked at the pensive Mustang, and asked with some doubts, "Colonel, where do we start to investigate, and now the news about Brigadier General Hughes is almost completely blocked...It is difficult to find out."
"Where to start to look, didn't Ashes tell us just now?" Mustang sat on the main seat and said with gloomy eyes.
A handsome blond-haired man was smoking a cigarette, looked at Mustang strangely and said, "Hey, Colonel, didn't Mr. Ashes just complain that his research was not going well...why..."
"Habke... don't smoke in a closed environment, and if you smoke less, your brain won't be so dull. The two sentences he said are contradictory! Didn't you hear it? That is to send us another message !" Mustang said helplessly, looking at the cute second lieutenant.
"Hey, is there? Why didn't I hear it?" Hubak put out the cigarette in his mouth and said with a look of ignorance on my face.
Lisa on the side frowned and said, "You mean, Mr. Ashes said 'the central library is such a good place, you can find everything' and 'it seems that the library doesn't have enough books! Really, it’s clearly the National Library, but the materials are so incomplete.” Is there a contradiction between these two sentences?”
Mustang smiled and said, "As expected of a lieutenant, you are right. These two sentences are the message. As for the direction... He probably doesn't trust my IQ, and he said it very clearly!"
Lisa nodded and said, "The history of the country! The research direction he mentioned! In other words, the history of this country has something to do with Hughes' death!"
Mustang nodded, and said solemnly, "That's right. I learned from Major Armstrong's conversation that Hughes' death was related to the Philosopher's Stone. Now I know from Ashes that Hughes' death is related to the country's history. ...Connecting them together, we can draw a conclusion..."
"The Philosopher's Stone is related to the history of this country! Commodore Hughes may have discovered the connection before he was killed!" Lisa looked at Mustang in shock, and couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable.
"But is this possible? The history of our country is actually related to the legendary Philosopher's Stone! Could Ashes or Major Armstrong be lying to us?" A fat man with short brown hair frowned and said , doesn't look very convincing.
"That's why Ashes asked me to investigate by myself! Second Lieutenant Breda!" Mustang nodded seriously, looked at the second lieutenant and said.
"'Why don't you help me look up some historical materials? You know, I don't like to read books, and I don't like to talk to strangers!' Is that what it means?" Hearing Mustang's explanation, Lisa couldn't help but fell into deep thought .
