a few hours ago┉┉
Based on the calculated location, Edward and Alphonse found a lumberyard that looked like a lumberyard where lumberjacks lived deep in a branch road. After walking around the factory, Edward discovered that there were some crates in the yard where logs were piled behind. These crates were exactly what the suspicious carriage had transported.
It should be here!
Edward and Al thought of it at the same time and sneaked in. The two quietly walked around the large lumberyard for a while without seeing anyone, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. However, Edward and Al still found some clues, such as someone forgetting to cover up the traces left by moving boxes on the ground. Compared with other places, the ground was covered with dust and sawdust. An obviously unclean road led to the processing room of the lumberyard. inside, but the strange thing is that the traces disappeared here.
The two brothers groped for a long time in the processing room but could not find anything like a secret passage. Looking up at the roof, Edward did not think that the other party would fly into the sky. The only possibility was that the other party must have sneaked underground. He must have used some kind of method that he didn't know about. Maybe he didn't use a regular entrance and exit. Think about it, when he came to the Kingdom of Saxony before, the crystal dragon Buyani used some kind of space transfer ability to transport everyone from there in an instant. The town of Belika on the border was sent to a city in a large territory hundreds of kilometers away. If they need to use similar methods to get in and out, then Edward and Al are really at their wits' end. After all, they know nothing about magic.
"Although there are no traces, it should be down here." Edward knocked on the floor and said.
"Then what should we do now. Brother!"
"It doesn't matter if there is no passage." Edward stood up, clasped his hands and smiled: "Since there is no 'door', let me make a 'door'."
Using alchemy to open a path and break through a door is already something Edward is familiar with, but this time Edward has to be cautious. He still doesn't know how deep the opponent is underground. Will a road leading below cause a landslide? If Tiya is accidentally hurt, he will never forgive himself.
However, when Edward was preparing. The originally deserted lumberyard had unknowingly appeared a few more dark figures. Several tall women in black robes quietly walked into the processing room in a triangle shape and captured the two unawares. The brothers surrounded them, peeping sideways at the two brothers from the pile of wood. One of the women took out a small crossbow and aimed it at Edward, while the other person on the side condensed the radiance of magic on his fingertips and locked onto Alphonse, who was wearing armor.
When Edward was about to put his hand on the ground to refine it. Aiming at Edward's head, the woman fired the crossbow bolt. To the woman, her target seemed to be just an underage boy, although she didn't know they were there. How did he find this place? But since he came here recklessly, he had no choice but to silence him.
It's just that the woman misjudged a little. The little boy in front of her experienced a childhood that was different from other children, whether it was being thrown to an uninhabited island to practice or after becoming a national alchemist. The perception cultivated through adventure after adventure is no less than that of a mentally mature and experienced warrior. The moment the crossbow bolt fired, Edward instinctively sensed the danger. The moment Xiaodouzi raised his head, he saw the crossbow bolt shooting out from the woman's hand. Stimulated by the extreme sense of crisis, Edward leaned back almost subconsciously by relying on the habit he had developed. He stood up and tried to avoid the crossbow bolt.
Snapped!
A trace of blond hair was struck by the crossbow arrow and fell to the ground. Blood left from Edward's forehead and heart. The woman who caused all this spat secretly. Her arrow just now did not hit the target. At the critical moment, the boy dropped his head, causing the crossbow arrow that should have hit his head directly to miss his target. The scratch on his forehead only caused some flesh wounds.
Edward fell to the ground, but Xiaodouzi quickly stood up and ran towards the pile of wood on the side: "Al~ there is an ambush here, hide now┉┉"
However, before he finished speaking, a bolt of blue lightning had already shot out from the mage's fingertips in the other corner. The powerful current hit Alphonse instantly, and Al's armor suddenly became on fire. The flowers shot up. Then Alphonse seemed to have fallen to the ground in a half-kneeling posture without even saying a word, and steam even emerged from the gaps in the armor that had been burned by the electric current.
"Al!!" Edward's heart was splitting at the sight. The attack on his younger brother made Xiaodouzi panic and bewilderment for a moment.
when! !
The next crossbow bolt aimed at Edward's chest was blocked by the mechanical armor. The attacker who missed the attack seemed to have lost his patience and walked out from the dark corner. There were five people in total, all young women who looked very beautiful. One of the women dressed as a mage glanced at Alphonse, who was half-kneeling on the ground, with satisfaction. Ordinary metal armor had a high physical defense against swords. But it will be very miserable once faced with penetrating magic such as flames and lightning. Especially the armor that originally protected the body under lightning spells will become an excellent conductor under the strong current and kill the wearer. The 'female' mage I believe that even if the person in the armor was not electrocuted by the blow just now, he would be directly cooked by the high temperature.
A woman with some fur on her arms who looked full of wild charm pulled out the scimitar from her waist and looked at Edward with a grin and said: "Okay kid, why don't you let my sister help you now?" Have some fun."
In a five-on-one situation, no woman believes that her side will lose to a child who is not yet a minor. The 'female' mage performed a life detection on the armor of the fallen big man, and the feedback information was as expected. There was no life response in the armor. For this reason, the 'female' mage finally walked out with confidence. , I can’t miss the next fun.
Edward 'touched' his wrist, and as the forged blue light shone, a dagger was derived from Mecha Kai: "Are you kidding me, you old woman? Don't make me cry later."
Several women were stunned, and the female mage stared dumbfounded at the mechanical Kai on Edward's arm. There was no magic wave just now. Obviously this was not an effect caused by magic. Could it be that the child's prosthetic limb was also a high-quality piece of equipment. Transforming into a short sword is also the effect of this equipment.
The female mage glanced at her companion, who had already clearly set his sights on Edward's Mechanical Kai, and should try to keep this strange prosthetic limb if possible.
"Ah~ If you surrender now, kid, maybe my sister can give you a little sweetness before you die." Another woman also said with a coquettish tone.
After the five people slowly surrounded him, Edward had to move with difficulty to avoid being flanked. Al's situation looked very bad. After being hit by the lightning just now, Alphonse became motionless and fell into a trap. Silence, could it be that the blow just now damaged the blood mark on Al's back? Edward didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Uh~ Oops!
Suddenly the blood on his forehead flowed into the corners of his eyes. Edward wiped his eyes subconsciously. A woman on the opposite side had already stabbed him with a dagger. Edward immediately raised the mechanical Kegel to block the blow, but just then At this moment, Edward realized that the young woman in front of him who looked to be in her twenties actually had unimaginable strength, almost as strong as a man.
"Ha! Look at this cute kid, he actually wants to resist!"
Several other people also surrounded and suppressed him. Only the female mage stood aside and shouted loudly: "Don't cause too much damage to his prosthetic limb. I want that prosthetic limb for research."
For the female mage, Edward's mechanical Kai aroused her great interest. Although the physical and mental risks were given to the devil, the nature of being a mage still made the female mage like to conduct various researches. But at this moment, the harsh sound of metal rubbing against the ground was heard. The female mage was surprised to find that the sound was coming from behind her, but there should be no one behind her except the armored warrior who should be dead. .
Could it be ┉┉
The 'female' mage turned her head back in horror. What came face to face was Alphonse's tall armored body. The steel fist had hit the 'female' mage's abdomen mercilessly, and the huge force squeezed the internal organs and caused... Suffering unimaginable pain, the 'female' mage fainted from the pain before she even had time to hum. Until the last moment when she fainted, the female mage couldn't believe it. How could the armored warrior in front of her still be alive? The armor on his body didn't seem to be made of mithril or other magic-resistant metals, and she had clearly cast it. The life detection spell confirms that there is no life response in the armor! !
"elder brother!"
Alphonse's shout made the four women who besieged Edward freeze for a moment. Edward looked at Alphonse in surprise, his brother looked fine.
damn it!
The woman who led the team with fluffy arms looked at Al and cursed secretly. When she looked back, the mage on her side had actually fallen to the ground! At this time, Alphonse had already rushed into the battle circle with huge steps like a moving iron tower giant. q
