Chapter 385: Suggestion
— Have you really been released?" Show me the document! Mustang said loudly and stood in front of Su Xiao.
— Is it strange that I was released? You don't have the right to command me, don't forget, we're on the same level as you, " Su Xiao said and calmly threw Isaac's body on top of Bubtni.
There were many alchemists in the world, but those who participated in the Ishwar war were few, and even fewer of them were still at large — many of them were imprisoned or exiled to distant areas, but Roy Mustang was an exception.
He was not only left alone, but also given the rank of lieutenant colonel.
He only received such treatment because his father fell in love with his talent.
However, this was not good news, as my Father's ultimate goal was to create a new and better philosopher's stone.
Father helped Anger and provided him with help for the development of the country only for the sake of achieving his goal.
However, it was very difficult to turn the inhabitants of a huge country into a perfect philosopher's stone.
The first step was to create an alchemy circle that would cover a huge country.
After such a circle is created, in each of the corners of the circle you will need to make one sacrifice in the form of a living person in order for the circle to start.
And these five may not be the most ordinary people. They must be at least great alchemists who have seen the Gate of Truth before.
And these people were: Edward Elric, the main character, Alphonse Elric, the younger brother of the main character, Roy Mustang, the military man, Izumi Curtis, the main character, and Van Hohenheim, the father of the main character.
Edward's fate was grim — he, his brother, and his father had to be sacrificed according to his Father's plan.
It was because of his Father's plan that Roy Mustang was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and was not imprisoned or exiled to distant areas after the Ishwar War.
Su Xiao's mission was to directly confront his Father, one of the strongest beings in this world. In the anime, he was only defeated through the combined efforts of the main characters, and knowing this, Su Xiao wouldn't kill those who ended up helping him.
In fact, he had to help them. He will need to get rid of six of the seven sins, because Greed will eventually betray them..
In addition to his sins, he will also need to get rid of the military who helped his Father in the pursuit of eternal life..
Su Xiao's first step will be to get rid of her sins. It will be easy to kill the military, but killing them at the moment will only cause him extra problems.
To deal with the sins, he will first need to infiltrate their ranks and find out their location. Otherwise, he will have to look for a needle in a haystack.
But at the moment, there wasn't such an urgent need, since he already knew about the location of the two sins.
— The first one will be easy to handle, but the second one is already troublesome... Su Xiao walked down the street and thought.
The two sins he planned to hunt weren't strong, but one of them had a nasty ability, and if that ability hit him, he would have to pay a high price to survive.
Taking out a map, Su Xiao nodded and walked towards the institute.
At the entrance to one of the institute's buildings, he was stopped by a security guard.
— Password.
— 3-T-4-M, fish, candy, lime.
The guard nodded. He didn't know what the institute was doing, and was only responsible for letting people in.
When Su Xiao entered the institute he saw broken windows and cracked walls.
This institute was huge and consisted of several buildings, but given its appearance, it was safe to say that it was abandoned.
After passing through one building and entering the building opposite, Su Xiao immediately headed for the basement.
The basement was open. After walking down, Su Xiao saw a large square. In the center of the square was a circular alchemy array. A low wooden stake was placed in its center, and another alchemy array was engraved on this wooden stake.
As Su Xiao got closer to him, he saw pools of black blood on the ground.
These bloodstains had existed for a long time and had long since dried up.
— Was the job completed on time? Envy asked when he saw Su Xiao.
— Yes, " Su Xiao said and tossed Isaac's corpse to Envy.
He stopped the corpse with his foot, and when he saw the sword wound on its chest and stomach, he winced.
— This... Sword wound?
— Yes.
— You did this?
— No, when I met him, he was already injured. Most likely that teenager did it.
— Teenager?
— The blond man is about 1.6 meters tall, his right hand is a mechanical prosthesis.
— Oh, you mean this guy? Envy looked at Su Xiao and thought for a moment. — Are you interested in gaining eternal life?" the words were filled with endless charm.
— Eternal life? In the same body?
— Both yes and no.
— Then it's not interesting.
Envy was surprised. "Okay, so you're interested in the Philosopher's Stones?
— Naturally.
— All right, then you help us, and we'll pay you for your help with Philosopher's Stones.
— To You?
— True, but as I said earlier, you are helping us, and we will provide you with the Philosopher's Stones and, if necessary, anything else besides them.
Su Xiao realized that this was his chance. Envy released him from prison precisely so that he could become one of their henchmen.
— Then I want to see your leader, Bradley.
— Hahahaha, just look at him~... If you help us and put yourself in a better light, who knows if you'll ever meet our leader, but definitely not now.
Su Xiao hesitated, as if weighing the pros and cons, while Envy remained silent and waited for Su Xiao's answer.
