When the cold wind from the polar region hit his face, Edward realized that he was very close to the city of Ulduar. Once upon a time, he actually felt like he was about to return home. +◆, compared to wandering outside, people can always feel a strange sense of security in the city of Ulduar. There is no need to worry about the undead suddenly running out, and no demon can enter the city, let alone For ordinary humans, it is a difficult test for them to cross the foggy forest supported by a natural barrier supported by a blizzard.
After arriving at Bellica Fortress, Prince Rost, who was sent by King Rodland of Saxony to handle transactions with Ulduar City, personally led people to greet Edward and Gretel.
In addition to being responsible for escorting Edward back to Ulduar City, Grete also went to Belika Fortress to meet with Prince Rost. Recently, the royal family's transaction with the ancient gods of the Yanold Mountains reached the most important point, from the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce. Tens of thousands of slaves were transported to the Kingdom of Saxony. On the surface, the Kingdom of Saxony purchased these slaves to increase its labor force. At the same time, in order to avoid the negative impact of the slave trade on the two major religious organizations of the Holy City and the Holy See, the Kingdom of Saxony notified the two. Fang would liberate these slaves into free men. For this reason, the news must not be leaked during the transportation, otherwise it will be a very big scandal for the Kingdom of Saxony, and it may also expose the cooperation with the ancient god Yalin, which will bring huge disaster to the country.
In order to prevent trouble, the old king sent his confidant, the court mage Grete, to Bellica Fortress to take charge of the matter together with Prince Rost.
"Don't you want to take a rest? Mr. Edward. It's already very late. You can start early tomorrow morning."
"Thank you for your kindness~ It's just that I'm in a hurry now. Anyway, it only takes a moment to reach the Yanold Mountains using the teleportation gate."
In front of the huge portal, Gretel asked Edward to let him rest for a night before setting off tomorrow, but Edward, who was worried about Al's health, insisted on setting off now regardless of the fatigue caused by the trip.
Watching the liaison officer use the communication magic device to contact the Yanold Mountains thousands of miles away to let the other party activate the portal. Gretel couldn't help but look at this great building together with the Bellica Fortress and the Yanold Mountains with an expression of great appreciation. This large-scale portal is simply the best tool for transporting people and goods. If it can Such large portals can be built in various territories of the Kingdom of Saxony, which is equivalent to closely linking the entire Kingdom of Saxony. In addition to the economic prosperity brought by the rapid trade, the royal family's control over the country can also be further consolidated. . It's just that until now, I haven't dared to dismantle the portal for detailed study. External observation alone cannot decipher the operating principle of the magic circle on the portal, and the Kingdom of Saxony is therefore unable to master this advanced technology.
This god has too many powerful powers and technologies in his hands, any one of which can greatly enhance the national power of the Kingdom of Saxony. In order to obtain these technologies, it seems that we still have to increase cooperation with the ancient gods, but the Saxon Kingdom has too few chips to tempt the ancient gods.
Ancient words began to appear on the stone pillars on both sides of the portal. The light spots began to increase gradually and condensed to form a light curtain. With fragments of Al's blood seal, Edward finally turned around and glanced at Gretel and the people behind him. Belika Fortress, after waving goodbye, Edward stepped into the portal.
What does it feel like to teleport
Although this is not the first time to use teleportation gates and teleportation circles. But Edward still felt that the feeling of his body being broken down into countless particles the moment he entered the portal was too familiar~ Yes! It's exactly the same feeling as when I used human body to open the door of truth in the basement of my home and was instantly swallowed.
What a disgusting feeling!
It was under this disgusting feeling that Edward crossed tens of thousands of miles in an instant. When his consciousness was fully restored, the surrounding scenery had suddenly changed. There were many goods ready for transportation piled on the huge and wide square. Two elf maids had already Waiting in front of the portal. The temperature also made Edward feel as if he had stepped from the cold winter into the comfortable spring!
"Welcome back, Mr. Edward, please come with us~ His Majesty Yalin is waiting for you in the study."
"Finally back~"
Edward looked at the familiar buildings and elves around him and breathed a long sigh of relief. He took off his redundant cold windbreaker and handed it to the elf maid beside him before walking towards the study.
Because Yalin has been busy again recently, and sometimes people like Schneizel, Feili, Yuehai and others come to visit him from time to time. Yalin simply added a small teleportation gate near the study room to connect the entire city of Ulduar to facilitate visitors. However, Edward was sent directly to Yalin by a small teleportation gate within a few steps. Even Xiaodouzi, who lived in the industrial age of the original steel-making world, had to admit that there were still many technologies worth admiring in the other world, such as this time-saving portal, which was one of them.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency Yalin!" After entering the room, Edward still used the title 'Your Excellency' habitually, but before he could see Yalin, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of Edward!
Huh!
Edward was stunned for a moment and looked at the flying object~a large monkey wrench that looked very familiar! Then a burst of pain accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness made Edward almost become confused in the wind. When he returned, he unceremoniously threw the wrench and aimed it unceremoniously at his head~ How could he do such a heartbreaking thing? There is only one person who can act.
"It hurts~ Wenli!!! Why are you here!!"
Edward held his bleeding forehead and looked at the blond girl in front of him as if he had seen a ghost. The girl who always exudes the familiar smell of engine oil while wearing technician work clothes is indeed my childhood sweetheart and full-time mechanical armor maintainer - Winry Rockbell! !
"Why did Sister Wenli come to this world??" Alphonse also muttered in Edward's arms.
Wen Li swung her blond hair behind her back and strode up to Edward with a condescending smile and said, "You can come to this strange world, can't I come?"
"As soon as we met, you hit me with a wrench again!! Didn't I tell you before? Don't do such dangerous things. What if I get hit to death?"
Wen Li stuck out her tongue and looked at Edward playfully: "Aren't you still alive and kicking? Long time no see, Mr. Edward~"
Seeing Wenli's smiling face, Edward's anger dissipated in an instant. Instead, Edward felt like crying at this moment. It feels really good to see familiar relatives and people who usually care about you: "Long time no see┉┉I miss you very much ~ Wen Li."
The reunion after a long absence made the three children chatter away. Yalin on the side didn't mind being ignored. It was quite interesting to watch the 'young couple' noisy. However, Yalin really admires Edward's vitality. He was accurately hit on the head by a large monkey wrench at the fastest acceleration state. After suffering such tons of damage, it was just a bump. For ordinary people, it would not be a concussion. I'm afraid he died suddenly on the spot. I don't know if Edward has already mastered the iron head skill under Wen Li's 'training', or if Wen Li has already mastered the advanced 'throwing weapon' skills.
But the warmth between the two didn't last long┉┉because Wen Li started to ask an important question.
"Okay~ Edward! Bring me the damaged mechanical armor to see."
Hmm~ Xiaodouzi's face froze as if he had a cramp in an instant. Under the gaze of Wenli's creepy smile, Edward stammered: "That...is a little bit worn in the battle...so please don't ┉┉”
"I know, I know, Lord Yalin has told me the situation, but the extent of the damage I heard should be complete damage."
When Edward gave Yalin an expression of "You've tricked me", Wenli continued to smile and said: "Don't worry, I won't be angry. After all, you and Al worked very hard this time, and you actually broke into You entered a cultist's gathering place to save people, so I will forgive you for breaking the mechanical armor this time."
"Really!?" Edward looked at Wen Li happily.
The girl nodded and urged: "It's true~ I'll forgive you this time. Hurry up and bring the broken mechanical armor for me to check. Judging from the condition of your right hand, you can't even equip the mechanical armor. I guess you can't even equip it." It’s very damaged and I don’t know if it can be repaired.”
Edward sat on the ground and scratched his head, and after a long time he said apologetically: "Actually, it was completely broken into pieces, so I didn't take it back."
"Nani? (What?)"
Wen Li raised her eyes and stared at Xiaodouzi closely. Under this terrifying gaze, Edward immediately explained everything. The mechanical armor was rubbed by the devil's black lightning and began to rust and disintegrate rapidly. After returning to the ground, the mechanical armor had completely turned into a pile of broken pieces of rusty iron. Seeing that the mechanical armor had become like garbage, Edward was in no mood and had no time to collect the fragments of the mechanical armor. He took Tiya and started running away.
"So I didn't bring back any parts┉┉" Edward, who was already kneeling on the ground, spoke louder and softer, and even his body shape seemed to be shrinking rapidly.
"You big idiot!! That's a treasure that I put all my effort into making!!"
Winry's roar and the sound of waving a wrench through the air sounded at the same time, followed by Edward's screams that echoed in the room!
"Wen Li~ You promised not to be angry┉┉ah!!" (To be continued...)
