Olivia tapped her fingers on the wooden table as if she was thinking about something.
"How many humans do I need to sacrifice for such a large piece of Philosopher's Stone?"
Edward pondered for a moment.
"About a dozen people."
"So much?"
"Yes, this is still a conservative estimate. I have studied the information on the Philosopher's Stone in detail."
Olivia continued to ask, "What if it is as big as an egg?"
"What!"
Edward looked at Olivia in horror.
"Don't be surprised. I did see such a big piece two days ago. This piece was separated from the top."
After knowing the origin of the Philosopher's Stone, Olivia began to feel the weight of the red stone in her hand.
"If it is such a big piece, I can't imagine who holds such a big piece of the Philosopher's Stone?"
Olivia did not say that it was Su Xiao. She vaguely had a feeling that the other party was indeed coming to ally with her.
The alchemist was especially important if they wanted to fight against the central army. The steel alchemist in front of her was also a combat force.
"I have a rough idea. Tell me about the purpose of your visit this time."
Olivier's tone was calm.
"The purpose of our visit is..."
The Eyre brothers told the purpose of their visit. They were here to find a little girl with a small panda and ask the little girl for alchemy.
The Eyre Like brothers had already met the small and medium person in the bottle, the man who looked the same as their father.
Their brother's alchemy had failed in front of the small and medium person in the bottle. No, they could not use alchemy at all.
On the other hand, the little girl and the scarred face used alchemy and artificial human to fight in full swing.
Edward had already vaguely sensed it.
The man who looked the same as Holmes was probably the mastermind behind everything. The artificial people called him Father.
"So that's how it is."
Olivia looked at the portrait in her hand. There was a small panda drawn on it.
"We just want to find its owner."
Just as Olivia and the Eyre brothers were talking, a soldier broke through the door with a bang.
"Major General, something bad has happened!"
"What is it? Don't panic."
"It's... It's like this. A monster suddenly appeared from underground and is in the lower base."
"Monster?"
"Right, monster."
Olivia frowned as trouble appeared one by one.
"Where is it?"
"Near the armory."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, Olivia stood up and rushed to the lower layer of the fortress.
The armory was the foundation of the fortress. Once the weapon was lost, the surrounding enemy countries would immediately attack.
The Eyre Like brothers followed behind Olivia.
"You two don't have to follow us."
Olivia turned to look at the Eyre brothers. It was unknown whether they were enemies or friends.
"We can help. Don't forget that we are alchemists. We won't just sit by and do nothing if there is trouble in the fortress."
Edward grinned.
"When the time comes, listen to the command. If you act on your own, don't blame me for being impolite."
"No problem."
Olivia nodded to herself. The two brothers did not show any malicious intent.
The group quickly arrived at the lowest level of the fortress. It was more than ten meters underground. The entire fortress had dozens of floors and three floors underground.
They were used to store weapons, food, and so on.
In the underground building of the fortress, in an empty square.
This was the weapon test site. The fortress would develop weapons, and this was the weapon test site. It was surrounded by a steel structure and was very strong.
A strong man with a height of three meters and strong muscles was besieged.
Bang, bang, bang, bang...
The dense bullets hit him, but the strong man's skin was not even broken.
"It hurts. It's so troublesome."
The strong man spoke slowly, looking very lazy.
"This place is so big."
The strong man only had one eye, and the other eye was located in a red node. By looking at it, one could tell that this was not a normal human.
The Eyre brothers rushed out of the stairs and noticed the red pattern on the strong man's shoulder at a glance. It was a circular Ouroboros pattern.
"This is... an artificial human!"
Edward immediately recognized the strong man. He felt a little uneasy. The two brothers had come here to find a way to deal with the artificial human.
His first reaction was that the artificial human had already seen through his plan.
"We are only here to find a way to recover our bodies."
Edward's explanation was a little weak. He had been threatened by the artificial human before. His childhood sweetheart's life would be lost if they dared to act rashly.
"Who are you?"
The identity of this strong man was self-evident, Lazy Sloth.
Lazy Sloth was different from other artificial people. His IQ was not high, and his nature was dull. His dream was to sleep all the time.
"By the way, to dig a hole... It's so troublesome."
Lazy Sloth's task was to dig a circular passage under the Yamei ground. He was digging the energy passage of the Land Refining Formation.
"I want to sleep... It's so troublesome."
Lazy Sloth slowly walked to the side. Every step he took made a loud noise. This guy's weight was not light.
"Get out of the way!"
A female shout came, followed by bursts of rumbling.
Olivia stood inside a tank, half of her body exposed.
"Get ready."
The muzzle of the tank began to turn.
"Fire!"
Boom!
Olivia was not interested in communicating with Sloth. The other party had already invaded the armory, so Olivia would not listen to his explanation.
A cannonball struck Sloth's face, and the cannonball exploded.
Flames and smoke enveloped Sloth, and all the soldiers present breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy had been dealt with, and no one could resist the bombardment.
The smoke dispersed, and the figure of Sloth appeared. There was only a slight injury on his face. Red lightning flashed, and his injury recovered.
"How is this possible? The shell is useless."
The morale of the northern army was thwarted. No matter how brave they were, they were still at a loss in the face of this inhuman monster.
Olivia was stunned for a second before she reacted.
"Don't just stand there, reload!"
More than ten seconds later, the tank fired again. This time, to increase the lethality, the reloader changed to a solid shell.
Boom, flames emerged from the muzzle of the tank.
A dark red shell hit Sloth's abdomen. He only paused for a moment, and the solid shell was sent flying, smashing a small hole in the ground.
"It hurts, it hurts, but it's also troublesome. Oh right, I have to work."
Lazy Sloth did not care about the bombardment at all. He was too lazy. He was so lazy that he did not want to fight and did not want to speak.
Boom, boom...
One solid shell after another hit Sloth.
Sloth's body swayed. He seemed to be a little impatient from being hit. He easily raised the steel pipe to the side and smashed at several tanks.
A large piece of the tank was smashed with a clang, and the other tanks immediately retreated.
"Don't stop firing."
Olivia was a little helpless. This was the first time she had encountered this kind of inhuman monster. She could not think of any effective countermeasures at the moment.
"Olivia, as an ally, why didn't you inform me if something happened in the fortress?"
A voice came. Olivia looked up. Su Xiao was sitting on the iron bars on the high ground. He had a smile on his face. There was a cigarette between his fingers and a dog behind him.
"Do you have a way to deal with this monster?"
Olivia narrowed her eyes. She had felt that this Pyromancer was not simple.
"Those guys wanted me because I killed the artificial talent."
Su Xiao jumped down from the railing.
