The praying girl looked blankly at Liu Mengchao, then at Edward, and finally moved her gaze to the big and scary armor.

"you……"

She asked softly, but did not answer quickly.

Just because Liu Mengchao and Edward were asking and answering questions, the world fell into silence.

There was a soft snapping sound, and Edward, who was sitting on the bench with his legs crossed, opened the notebook in his hand. This notebook seemed to Liu Mengchao to be several years old, and the corners of the cover wrapping the notebook were rough, and it looked like

It does feel a bit desolate.

"Thirty-five liters of water, four liters of ammonia, 800 grams of phosphorus, 100 grams of saltpeter, 7.5 grams of fluorine, 3 grams of silicon, 20 kilograms of carbon, 1.5 kilograms of lime, 250 grams of salt, negative ions

Eighty grams, five grams of iron, fifteen elements...a small amount."

"What's this?"

A confused look flashed in the praying girl's eyes, and she asked in confusion.

"These are the structural components of an adult's human body. Current science can only understand this step. In fact, there are no successful examples of making the human body. But having said that, if these components and materials go to the market, they will only be a child's pocket money.

Money can afford it, people... are such a cheap thing."

"Humans are not objects! Please don't blaspheme the Creator, you will be punished by God!"

"God's damnation?" Looking at Edward and the girl who seemed to be getting angry with the questions and answers, Liu Mengchao raised the corner of his mouth and stood directly next to Edward, looking down at the young man who had lost his right arm and left leg and said with a smile.

, "It seems that the girl's words are correct. If you suddenly offend the realm of God, divine punishment will really come."

The so-called divine punishment is the pass you pay when you see the door of truth, right?

Edward frowned slightly, but did not continue.

"But, but, if you really choose to believe in the true God, you might be able to grow taller!"

Are you growing taller?

This does not seem to be a big deal. But at this moment, it seems to have become an extremely important thing for the girl, something that can prove that her belief is true and effective.

"Yes, the dream of growing taller is probably impossible without the help of miracles, right?" Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes and laughed directly, "Edward, I think you have just seen what the leader of Lei Te Cult showed you.

Is it a miracle?"

"Miracle……?"

Liu Mengchao's words were like a basin of cold water. They suddenly woke up the two Edward brothers who were still a little confused. The two brothers looked at each other and nodded slowly to each other.

"It violates the principle of equivalent exchange. If we really want to explain it, I'm afraid it can only be described with words like miracle."

A miracle?

Liu Mengchao nodded slightly and looked at the girl who had been praying just now.

"That old man... no, the old gentleman is the bishop of the Rete sect, right?"

bishop?

The two Edward brothers are not stupid people. No, it should be said that the two of them can be said to be extremely smart people. After all, not everyone can obtain the title of National Alchemist, and only those who can pass it every year

There are only one or two people. Especially Edward is the youngest alchemist since the founding of this country.

So without even making eye contact, Edward already understood the meaning of Liu Mengchao's words.

Since the bishop of the Reite Cult can make items in violation of the principle of equivalent exchange in alchemy, he is likely to be the owner of the Philosopher's Stone. And the best way to get close to this person without leaving a trace...

"Miss, I'm starting to become interested in religion!" Edward raised his hand excitedly. A dull hair on his head swayed, "I want to talk to the bishop, can you introduce him to us?"

"You guys? Liu Mengchao, do you also want me to introduce you to the bishop?"

The girl turned around in confusion, only to find that Liu Mengchao, who was standing next to her a moment ago, had disappeared, as if he had disappeared from her sight like a gust of wind.

Edward and his brother Alphonse were not surprised by Liu Mengchao's situation. Liu Mengchao seemed to be born with the ability to disappear without a trace without anyone noticing.

"It's really what I wish for..."

Behind the statue, Liu Mengchao put down his hood. In the shadow, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a smile in his eyes.

——————————————————————————————————

The Holy See of the Rete Religion is located in the middle of the city. Different from the straight and upright architectural style in ordinary people's images, the roofs of the Rete Religion are mostly flat. This gave Liu Mengchao who was walking on it a feeling of a foreign country.

.

His steps were quick and light, and there was no sound when the soles of his feet fell. And Liu Mengchao's speed was so fast. He just passed by the guards, and those in charge of the guards could only rub their eyes, and then

He looked strangely at the unchanged world in front of him.

"It seems that my speed is still a bit scary..."

As Liu Mengchao walked, he came to the most magnificent building. This was the main building of the church. It was connected to a basement. And as the leader of Lei Te Cult, he was in this building at the moment.

I saw Liu Mengchao turning to one side, falling down as lightly as a cat, standing quietly in the shadow of the balcony window. He squinted his eyes slightly, listened quietly, and held his breath quietly.

The door was knocked open with a bang, and the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly stopped at this time. The voice of the person who spoke was as rough as gravel. Just listen to it say, "Mr. Bishop, someone wants to see you!"

"

"who are they……"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the teacup being put down with a thud, and the silver spoon clenched in the palm of his hand jingled and stirred in the teacup.

"I'm busy now, let them go back. Wait, who are they?"

As if he had just recovered from the afternoon tea, the bishop asked again.

"A child and a man in armor, they call themselves Brother Eric."

Dang... Ding... the silver spoon began to sway in the porcelain teacup again, and at the same time, the bishop's thoughts began to wander again.

"Brother Eric, Eric... Eric! Edward? Eric! Is the person you just mentioned named Eric?"

Before anyone could answer, the bishop started asking again in a panic.

"Ah... yes, that child does call himself Edward Eric... Bishop, do you know him?"

The bishop raised his head and glanced at the visitor. He was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he rubbed his eyes with his hands. He felt a little tired, and it took a while before he finally spoke.

"If it's really that Edward, we'll be in trouble. He should be a steel ball-level alchemist!"

"For such a short alchemist, this is impossible!"

"Idiot, an alchemist's talent is not determined by age!"

The bishop stood up excitedly. Liu Mengchao could clearly hear the sound of the porcelain tea cup smashing to pieces on the ground, and he could also hear the breathing of the two people in the room becoming rapid.

"You don't need to doubt it. I have long heard that Edward Elric obtained the qualification of a national alchemist at the age of twelve. He is really a legendary figure."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bishop burst into laughter.

"Master Bishop, what should we do now? If he discovers our plan and reports it to the military, we..."

"Don't panic! Jonas! Although the military's noses are very good, if no one knows that they have been here, things will be completely different. What do you think?"

There was silence for a while, and Jonas also sneered.

"Then we will act according to God's will."

"Do it well, take brother Eric to the basement, and let God decide what happens next!"

The bishop suddenly stood up, stepped on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, made a hissing sound that tortured the ears, and opened the door with a bang.

At this moment, the entire room was empty again.

Liu Mengchao stood up, jumped out of the shadows, and landed lightly in the room. Liu Mengchao pulled open the bishop's velvet armchair, and with two bangs, his feet were already on the table.
