Vol 7 Chapter 29: : Edward's Persistence

In front of the Bricks Fortress, the two Elric brothers stood in the snow, and several soldiers were pointing at them with guns.
"I'm a national alchemist, not an agent."
Edward explained again, sighing helplessly.
"Don't move, raise your hands above your head."
A soldier clasped his trigger and was ready to fire.
"Brother, what now?"
Although Alphonse was not afraid of firearms, he did not act lightly.
"Wait a minute, their chief should come out soon."
The Elric brothers were somewhat helpless. The soldiers in the north did not give them any chance to explain. Even if they took out the pocket watch of the national alchemist, they did not believe their identity without the central approval.
This situation is very normal. ‘Bricks Fortress’ is a major border area. Every year, agents secretly intend to infiltrate, and countless others pretend to be alchemists.
Olivia Milla stepped out of the fortress. The female general stood tall and examined the two brothers.
"Who are you."
Olivia Mila's tone is not very good, and she is in the same mood now.
After checking, Olivia found out that what the man said might be the truth. If that was the case, the war would not be far away, and she would not sit still.
Hearing Olivia's question above the fortress, Edward looked up.
"I am the Alchemist of the Steel, Edward Elric, and Major Armstrong of the Central State has introduced me to Your Excellency Major General. Please remove the guard."
Major Armstrong in Edward's mouth was the younger brother of Olivia Milla.
"Search them."
Hearing that it was introduced by his brother, Olivia Milla was also very polite.
"We are not stingy."
"Who knows, anyone can pretend to be a celebrity, not to mention that recently there has been a 'devil' on my site, and who knows if you are complicit."
"demon?"
Edward Elric was a little confused.
After searching, a silver block watch and a letter were handed to Olivia.
"This is a major's letter of introduction, which proves that we are not cymbals."
Olivia Milla looked at the envelope in her hand, and just looking at the handwriting on the envelope, she knew it was indeed written by her brother.
"Oh, it's that stupid man."
While talking, Olivia Milla shredded the letter in her hand without looking at the contents.
"Hey, why don't you read on? There are information about me and my brother."
"The letter of introduction is meaningless to me. I don't need other people's evaluation. I only judge others by my own eyes."
During the conversation, Olivia Mira had shredded the letter.
"Put them in."
The cold wind roared, and the Elric brothers, who were about to enter the fortress, could not help raising their heads, and they were immediately deterred by this magnificent fortress.
Hundred-meter-high steel walls with traces of snow and ice.
"Awesome, so tall ~, so big!"
Hearing Edward Elric's shout, Olivia Milla's eyes were lowered and her face was a little somber.
"The dregs aren't going away yet, watch out for the antenna on your head."
The antenna in Olivia's mouth was a dull hair on Edward's head and a ray of hair on Alfons' armor.
"Yes!"
Edward felt the strength of the Queen of the North.
Entering the fortress, the Elric brothers were not free. They were greeted by a second round of torture.
Olivia Mira was sitting opposite the two brothers, who had hot tea in front of them.
"Do you recognize the Blazing Alchemist?"
Upon hearing Olivia's question, the two brothers froze.
Edward nodded and shook his head.
"I've only seen it once. The guy was an explosion mad. Last time he collapsed a lot of buildings in Central City. I finally repaired it, but I don't know why. He was wanted a few days ago and was charged with murder Important people. "
After listening to Edward's description, Olivia Milla lowered her head and groaned.
She received the same information as Edward. Su Xiao killed important members of the military and was eventually wanted.
If she remembered correctly, the so-called important person was just a colonel with no real power and had nothing to do with the explosive alchemist.
The information provided by the military is full of doubts and coupled with the many actions of the central city in recent years, Olivia Mira clearly feels wrong.
"Don't say this, I need you two to explain why you came to me directly without going through the headquarters, and the secret of your brother's hollow armor."
The Elric brothers looked at each other.
"Here, if you know, you may go to a military court ..."
Before finishing Edward's words, Olivia interrupted suddenly.
"Sage and man-made?"
Olivia only said two keywords. She didn't say the sage stone and the artificial person, so that she would not leave a word.
"how do you know!"
Edward shouted and stood up.
"It doesn't look good that guy is lying, it's very bad."
After the Elric brothers saw Olivia's response, the two were a little surprised.
"Little boy, throw up everything you know!"
Olivia stared at Edward coldly.
"Who are you talking about?"
"It's you, the little dwarf with an antenna, and I'll give you five minutes to make a statement. By the way, ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The law of Chuo City is invalid here."
A group of soldiers rushed to the room, dozens of guns aimed at the two brothers.
"you guys……"
"Don't think I'm bluffing. This is the Northwest, and the dead are commonplace. Even the national alchemist is the same. For the lives of my tens of thousands, I can take this responsibility.
"Ten thousand lives?"
Edward was a little at a loss. He suddenly felt that the female general in front of him probably knew more than him.
Hesitating for a moment, Edward said everything he could say.
Ten minutes later, Olivia watched the ground beneath her feet, and the soldiers in the room stepped back.
"What evidence are you telling the truth."
Ilivia's questioning made the two brothers speechless.
"Not for the time being, but the Sage's Stone and the Artificial Man do exist, I have seen it with my own eyes."
"I believe in the Stone of the Sage, because I have indeed seen it, as for the artificial man ..."
Su Xiao once gave a small piece of Sage's Stone to Olivia, which was a piece smaller than rice grains.
Ovilla took out the Sage's Stone, and the two Elric brothers felt numb after seeing the Sage's Stone.
"Is this what you made?"
Edward was in a fighting position.
"No, it was given to me by someone else."
"Where is that person?"
Edward's breathing was obviously heavy. This small piece of sage stone did not know how many people would be sacrificed.
"You don't need to know, you just need to confirm now, is this the sage's stone, this thing is really so magical?"
"This is the sage's stone."
With a clear reply from Edward, Olivia took a deep breath.
"Demonstrate, let me see how it ignores equivalent exchanges."
"No! I wouldn't use this thing. The material used to make this thing is human. I would never use it."
