I build nuclear bombs in the giant world - #241 - Chapter 236 Slaves Four Hundred Years Ago

Alphonse and Colonel Roy arrived in a hurry. They stopped in front of the basement door and were stunned for a moment when they looked at the crying Nina and Shoe Tucker who fell on the ground.

“What on earth is going on?” Colonel Roy looked at the various tools beside the operating table, his eyes becoming sharp.

“This scumbag planned to make his daughter and Alexander into a synthetic beast, so I gave him a good beating.” Edward picked up Nina: “Al, take Nina out first, don’t scare her. , let me and the colonel handle this.”

“Okay.” Alphonse quickly picked up Nina.

He saw the scars and bruises on Nina’s wrists and ankles, and his heart sank. He comforted Nina while walking up.

“I’m going to contact the military police now and surround this house.” Colonel Roy said, “You have to explain it to me later, Edward.”

“What is Shu Tucker going to do?” Edward asked.

“We’ll talk after the interrogation. The same goes for you. Don’t even think about leaving until the matter is clarified.” Colonel Roy rubbed his temples: “Really, we have encountered some troubles.”

Before dark, the military police arrived in front of the mansion and guarded the place.

Brother Edward and the unconscious Hugh Tucker were both guarded in the living room by military personnel. Nina was taken to the car by Lieutenant Lisa. Although she was only a five-year-old girl, she was also an important witness. .

Under the guidance of Brother Edward, Nina recounted what happened at that time.

At this point, everything is almost clear.

Late at night, Shoe Tucker woke up. Under the pressure of the facts and many parties, he confessed his crime and admitted that two years ago, he used his wife and a bought monkey to refine the potion. Talking synthetic beast.

“Take him away and put him in jail.” Colonel Roy handcuffed Tucker’s hands behind his back: “Abusing citizens and killing people are felonies under national law. In addition, you are also suspected of academic fraud. I Using the power granted by the Constitution, I will deprive you of the qualifications of a national alchemist. Your punishment will be determined in court. You have the right to appeal and the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be notarized in court.”

Matthew Tucker looked ashen, and the colonel escorted him to the military vehicle. Brother Edward was asked to go to the police station to continue making statements and records.

Hugh Tucker’s daughter, Nina Tucker, was temporarily taken home by Lieutenant Lisa.

In a dream, Ian and Edward meet.

“Yeah. The incident was successfully resolved.”

“Well, I tried to deal with the bug issue, and the higher-ups have no intention of pursuing it.”

“Actually, it doesn’t matter. It’s not a particularly precious technology.”

“No, no, no, I can still tell the difference.”

“Where is Xiu Tucker’s daughter? How is she doing now?”

“Al and I want to send Nina to Wenli’s house. Shu Tucker’s property has been confiscated by the government. Nina has no other relatives who can take care of her. She is only five years old and has no ability to live on her own, so I He and Al want to pay her alimony and let her mother-in-law take care of her first.”

“Is this so”

“What’s going on over there? I sent a telegram to Wen Li, saying that my friend is coming and asked her to entertain her. Have you found their home?”

“I’ll be there soon.”

“That’s good. If you want, you can stay there for a few more days. We also plan to go back soon to send Nina back.”

“That’s not necessary. I still have some things to do. Let’s meet again when we are free.”

“Okay, let’s do this for today, bye.”

“Bye-Bye.”

In Lisbro Village, Ian hung up the call with Edward.

He looked up and saw that the early morning sunlight made the dewdrops on the apple branches shine crystal clear.

He stood in front of the door of a residential house, stretched out his hand, and rang the doorbell.

Along with the ding-dong sound, slow footsteps came from the door, and the person who opened the door was an old woman with a cane.

“Hello, I wonder if this is Ms. Wenli’s home?” Ian took off his hat, put it on his chest, and bowed slightly.

“Who are you? When did my granddaughter get a boyfriend?” The mother-in-law pushed up her reading glasses.

“No, Ms. Winry and I don’t know each other. I am Edward Elric’s friend, Ian.”

“Ian. Ian” the mother-in-law scratched her head: “Speaking of which, Wen Li seems to have mentioned such a name, is it you?”

“Probably yes, Edward said he sent a telegram to Ms. Winry.”

“Are you a guest?” The mother-in-law stepped aside and said, “Then let’s go in and sit down first. Wenli went to town to buy things and won’t be back for a while.”

“Excuse me then.” Ian walked in.

“Black tea or coffee?” The mother-in-law picked up the hot water kettle.

“Just coffee.” Ian sat on the wooden stool.

The mother-in-law brought the brewed coffee to Ian and sat opposite him.

“I didn’t expect Edward to have such polite friends. How did you meet him? Don’t you think that boy is difficult to get along with?”

“No, not at all.” Ian smiled: “And I’m actually not here for Edward, but to inquire about some things from my mother-in-law.”

“Do you want to know whose girl is the most beautiful in the village?” The mother-in-law held the hot tea in both hands and took a sip.

“It’s about a young and ageless man. His name is von Hohenheim. It is said that he once lived in this village for a while. I wonder if my mother-in-law has heard of it.”

The mother-in-law put down the tea cup and opened her narrowed eyes.

“What do you want from him?”

“Just interested in him.”

“I don’t know about young and immortal men, but there was indeed a man named Hohenheim in the village before. He was Edward’s father. I’m afraid he is not the person you are looking for, and he has been away from the village for many years.”

“Yeah. That’s a pity,” Ian said softly.

“Do you know Hohenheim?” asked my mother-in-law.

“I have learned something about him. It is said that 400 years ago, there was an ancient kingdom on this land. The king had a slave named von Hohenheim. It is said that he obtained immortality in a ceremony. The body has lived from 400 years ago to today.”

“This story sounds very interesting.” The mother-in-law continued to drink tea without taking it seriously: “If Hohenheim comes back, I will tell him. Just tell him that some people say you lived for four hundred years.”

“I came here just to leave a letter for Mr. Hohenheim.” Ian took out a sealed envelope from his arms: “If nothing else happens, Mr. Hohenheim should come back soon. I hope Mother-in-law, can you give this letter to him?”

“How did you know he was coming back?” The mother-in-law frowned: “That guy couldn’t even find his wife when she died of illness.”

“Intuition.” Ian smiled faintly.

He drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp and put the envelope on the table.

“Thank you for the hospitality. I’ll take my leave then.”

“Are you leaving now?”

“Yes, I have other things to do.”

“I’ll give it to you.”

The mother-in-law collected the letter and sent Ian to the door.

“Then, I’m rude.” Ian took off his hat in greeting, saying how he came and how he left.

The mother-in-law watched him go away, and waited until he was far away before going back to the house, closing the door, and taking out a black and white photo album from the drawer.

This is a photo from ten years ago. In the photo, there is a bearded man with a young and beautiful woman beside him.

Granny Bickner is also in the photo. The man is Hohenheim, and the woman next to him is Theresa Elric, his wife and the biological mother of Brother Edward.

Bikna recalled what happened ten years ago. Hohenheim suddenly came to the village. He was a very powerful alchemist and helped the people in the village solve many troubles and difficulties.

One year there was a flood, and it was Hohenheim who used alchemy to build up and strengthen the river dam. When sowing, he could also change the direction and depth of the ditch to irrigate the farmland.

Bikna is friends with Hohenheim, but she doesn’t know much about Hohenheim’s past. She only knows that the guy is mysterious and irresponsible.

Teresa liked him so much and gave birth to two sons with him, but he left his family behind and left. To this day, he has not come back and has never left any contact information.

No one knew where Hohenheim was or what he was doing.

Bikna thought Ian was a friend of Hohenheim’s, so she put the envelope in the cupboard.

“Hohenheim, I hope it’s true as he said. You are coming back. I wonder if you will regret leaving without saying goodbye when you find out that Teresa passed away?”

Bikna sighed and put the photo album back.

Five days later, Brother Edward returned, bringing with him a timid little girl.

“Mother-in-law, Wenli, this is Nina.”

“Come on, Nina, let me introduce you. This is Sister Wenli, and this is Granny Bikna.”

“Hello sister, hello mother-in-law.”

Nina was followed by Alexander, hugging Edward’s trousers tightly as she greeted the person she met for the first time.

“Hello, hello, let’s live at my sister’s house from now on.” If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me and I will knock out his teeth! “Wen Li rolled up her sleeves and showed off her muscles.

She is a mechanic. She has learned mechanical-related knowledge from her parents since she was a child. She has been working with steel and engine oil all year round, and she has developed good strength.

She had spoken to Edward on the phone in town. She had already heard about Nina and had made an agreement with her grandma to adopt this poor homeless little girl.

“Let’s go inside first.” Grandma Bikna waved and pulled Nina.

Winry and Alphonse took Nina to get familiar with this small room, while Edward chatted with his mother-in-law.

“Really, has he left? I was still wondering if I could meet him.” Edward said regretfully.

“That child is so tall.” The mother-in-law stood on the chair and raised her hands hard: “Edward, you should try your best.”

“Tch, it’s not like I wanted to look like this! And don’t call me Little Douding!” Edward curled his lips.

For the next week, Edward and his brother rested in the village to help Nina adapt to the new environment. Meanwhile, Wenli inspected Edward’s mechanical armor.

A week later, Brother Edward left, saying he was going back to the capital.

A few days after Brother Edward left, it rained heavily in the village.

Rain fell, thunder and lightning flashed, and Wenli, who was playing with Nina, heard a knock on the door.

“Strange. Why didn’t you ring the doorbell? Who is it? Whose grandparents?” Wen Li was a little confused.

She opened the door and saw a tall figure.

It was a vicissitudes of life face, with a full beard, and messy blond hair. Although unkempt, the man’s physique was very strong, standing there like a stone sculpture.

“Are you Wenli? You’ve grown so tall,” said the man hiding from the rain under the eaves.

Wen Li didn’t recognize him for a moment. She blinked and identified them carefully. She basically knew everyone in the village, but this one was very strange. Although he was unfamiliar, it seemed like he had seen him somewhere before.

Just when she was wondering, Granny Bikena came with a cane.

“Hohenheim. You are really back.”

“Hohenheim. That’s not Edward and Al’s father! It’s that heartless man!”

“Teresa’s house burned down for some reason, so I came to you.”

“Don’t you know yet?” Granny Bikna said with a complex expression: “Theresa, she passed away due to illness a few years ago.”

Hohenheim’s expression suddenly froze.

“Come in first, the mother and son have had a hard time in the years since you left.” Grandma Bikna said.

Inside the house, Granny Bickner explained to Hohenheim what happened to Brother Edward.

“Not long after you left, Teresa contracted an epidemic and passed away. Because they missed their mother too much, they began to learn alchemy and wanted to use the method to resurrect their mother.”

As Bikna opened and closed her mouth, the wrinkles on her face became deeper and deeper.

Hohenheim listened in silence to what had happened over the years, and his inner thoughts could not be seen from his face.

“You really haven’t changed at all, Hohenheim.” Bikna said: “Someone said that you were a slave who had lived for four hundred years. I kind of believe him now.”

Hohenheim, who had no expression on his face when he heard that his wife had passed away and his son was suffering, suddenly stood up after Bickner said these words.

He frowned and looked at Bikna.

“Who is that person? Bikena? When did you see him?”

“About half a month ago.” Bikna said, “He also left you a letter. Do you want to read it now?”

Bikna opened the drawer and reached for the envelope.

“Don’t touch.” Hohenheim held Bikna’s wrist.

“What’s wrong? Hohenheim?”

“There may be a triggering formation formation up there.”

Hohenheim’s palm shone a red light on the envelope. After checking for a while and finding nothing abnormal, he carefully opened the letter.

There are not many words written on it, only one sentence: The next blood engraved is in Leor, I will wait for you in Leor, von Hohenheim.
