Wind of Steel

"It seems that you are very unpopular." Irlan Si said with a smile when she saw that the people next to her also looked at Bercio with angry eyes. "It's nothing." Bercio replied, but it could be read from his eyes that he didn't care that much.

Erlan Si shrugged, but these don't have much to do with her, right?I have enough troubles now. "Then let's go. I'm starving," she said grimly.

"Okay." Bercio nodded, picked up the things on the ground, and walked slowly ahead.

Erlansi walked behind and looked around boredly. Although it looked far away, she walked quite fast.Bercio's home is not very big, only three rooms. "Just sleep in it." Bercio pointed to the innermost room, "There is no one in that room, I clean it every day."

"There are really many people in this town who suffer from the same disease as Alisa." Yi Erlansi nodded, and then sat down in front of the table. "Since Magvale began to fund Nash Tringham to start researching the red liquid, this disease has become popular. At first, it was children who got sick, and later the elderly and frail adults also began to get sick. This kind of disease has killed many people in the town..." Bercio replied with a sigh.

"Red liquid?" Irlan Si thought for a while, "I seem to have a little impression that the man named Nash Tringham seems to be the discoverer of the red liquid. Could it be that this disease is caused by that red liquid?"

"When this disease started to spread, a man named Dr. Mark came here and rescued Alyssa." Belcio said to himself, "If it wasn't for him, Alyssa would have been here a long time ago. He died at that time, and he seems to have said that Alyssa got sick from the red poisonous liquid coming up from the ground."

"Oh, then this kind of disease like Alyssa should be chronic poisoning." Erlan Si said, holding her chin, "It seems that this kind of thing must be some kind of heavy metal, which has infiltrated into human body during long-term life. In the blood, it caused a disease similar to silicosis." She looked at the uncle unexpectedly, "However, how do you know so many things?"

"Because Nash is from this town, I have personally experienced these things, so of course I know a lot." Bercio started cooking. "Oh." Yi Erlansi looked uninterested, "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, whose family owns the villa on the mountain?"

"It's the villa of the big landowner Magval in the town, and it's also the laboratory of the red liquid." Bercio chopped the vegetables.

"I'm really not afraid of death, but I'm still studying these things." Yi Erlansi curled her lips, "Didn't you tell the people in the town?"

"No one believed it," Bercio sighed. "They were all fascinated by the words that the red liquid was used to research the Philosopher's Stone so that it could be refined into gold and make the town prosperous again."

"Use red liquid to study the Philosopher's Stone?" Erlan Si's eyes widened, as if he had heard something very funny.

"Yes, people in the village are used to relying on gold for their lives..." "Hahahaha, I'm so funny!" Irlan Si immediately laughed when she heard Bercio's affirmative words, "Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Hahaha... Oops, I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter! This is the funniest thing I've ever heard!" She burst into tears, and finally she laughed so hard that she fell from the chair After falling, she was still laughing when she reached the ground.

Belcio looked suspiciously at the girl who suddenly laughed maniacally, with some doubts.

"Oh, it can't be done." Yi Erlansi laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, she finally stopped, patted the dirt on her body, sat on the chair again, and then lay down on the table, is it still there? I twitched, "It's really funny, to use that red liquid to study the Philosopher's Stone, and to use the Philosopher's Stone to refine gold...Puchi, hahahaha..."

"Are you okay?" Bercio looked at Irlan Si who was laughing wildly with a dark face.

"Hehe, hee hee, uh, it's okay." Irlan Si said pantingly, "I just thought it was funny, I didn't expect that people in this world are really naive." "Why do you think so?" ?” Bercio felt that there was a problem.

Yi Erlansi rested her chin on her right hand, looking at the villa outside the window, while drawing circles on the table with her left hand. "That kind of thing is impossible," she said seriously, without the slightest hint of joking, "no matter how many years they have been studying, it is impossible for that red liquid to be made into the Philosopher's Stone. Moreover, if you want to If you want to refine gold, you don’t need the Philosopher’s Stone at all, you only need a very skilled alchemist. Well, at least to a certain extent, you must be a national alchemist.”

"..." After hearing what Erlansi said, Bercio was silent for a moment, "Do you mean that Magval tricked everyone in the town?"

"Although I don't know what his purpose is, it's definitely not for the town." Irlan Si pointed to the table with her left index finger and said. "Hehe, I'm really curious, what kind of research will this guy be able to make of the red liquid in the end."

"You are an alchemist, right?" Hearing this, even a fool would know that Erlan Si is an alchemist.

"That's right." Yi Erlan Si lay down on the table and yawned cutely.The topic was interrupted. Although Bercio knew that Erlan Si was an alchemist, he didn't ask her to do anything.As Irlansi, I didn't say anything more, these have nothing to do with me, right?No matter what, it is the choice of the people here. Since they have chosen, they must be responsible for their own choices.

The Philosopher's Stone, I would like to see how to develop the Philosopher's Stone with red liquid.Yi Erlansi had the idea of ​​going to see it at night, but after thinking about it, she dismissed the idea and wanted to sleep well at night.Forget about these things.The two of them ate some supper dullly, and then Erlan Si ran to the room where Bercio told her to sleep.Bercio was left alone, hesitating, yes, he was hesitating, whether he should ask the girl or not.Yes, he wanted to find an alchemist to help uncover the secret of the red liquid, and cut off the town's idea of ​​only relying on gold production for a living, but that sent the girl into dire straits.

"Sigh." Bercio sighed. After all, the National Alchemist, the very famous steel, was helping Magvar with his research.Although he is also a child, the national alchemist is better.Pressing his forehead, he began to worry.And Yi Erlansi was full and sleeping soundly. Of course, she still took a lot of protective measures. If this uncle wanted to attack her at night, he would definitely pay a very heavy price.

There was nothing to say all night, and when Erlan Si came out of the bedroom refreshed the next day, that Bercio had already started preparing breakfast outside. "I didn't expect uncle to be really hardworking." She didn't feel unnatural at all living in someone else's house. "Besides, uncle's craftsmanship is still very good. Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant?" She said with a smile.

"Even if it's a restaurant, no one will come here to eat." Bercio said without looking back.

"Hehe." After washing up, Erlansi sat at the table and waited for breakfast. In fact, he had already seen Bercio's hesitation last night. From his words and deeds, there was still a while. From the way people look at him, one can guess what he wants to say. "I think, you should be against the people in the town who want to use those red liquids to refine the Philosopher's Stone, and then refine gold, and return to the life of mining gold?"

"Yes, but none of them can forget the rich life brought about by mining gold." Bercio sighed and replied helplessly, "If this continues, this town will become a dead town sooner or later."

"You probably really want my help?" Erlan Si said with a smile, "It's just that I'm too embarrassed to ask."

"Since you said so...you are right, this town can't go on like this." Bercio replied a little excitedly.

"Okay." "What did you say?" Bercio was taken aback by Iransi's flippant answer.

"Didn't you hear clearly?" Erlan Si said with a smile, "I said 'Okay!', but why did you invite me to eat two meals and stay for one night? It's just an equivalent exchange."

"But the other party has a national alchemist..." "I'm also very strong." Erlan Si said proudly, "Don't confuse me with an ordinary guy." "The other party is not an ordinary person." , but a very famous Fullmetal Alchemist." Although Bercio was happy that the other party should help him, he was also worried.

"Fullmetal Alchemist?" Yi Erlansi raised her eyebrows, "Then it's no problem. I just had itchy hands, so I can beat them up." They actually came here to study the Philosopher's Stone ……its not right!With their character, they would not do such a thing.They shouldn't be unable to see the toxicity of that red liquid... Could it be someone faked it?

"Really?" Bercio became even more worried when he saw Ireland Si's appearance.

"Do you look down on me?" Erlan Si frowned, "Hmph, forget it. Anyway, what I have decided will not change. I will go there after breakfast."

PS. Good card... Really good card... It seems that I am going to study...
