Chapter 40: Good Daughter
"Nina...Nina..."
As soon as the door was pushed open, Xiu Taga walked to his daughter Nina with a kind smile on his face. He smiled and picked up his daughter, rocking it slowly, like a lullaby.
"Dad! Nina is so happy!"
The little girl Nina smiled in Xiu Taga's arms and narrowed her big eyes happily.
"Nina, dad is in trouble now, do you want to help dad?"
"want!"
Nina happily raised her hands, her pink face flushed with excitement. Being able to help her most admired father is really a wonderful thing for this little girl!
When she thought of this, Nina was extremely excited.
"Hurry! Dad! Nina is coming to help Dad!"
"She is really my good daughter." Xiu Taga smiled and stroked her daughter's head, and slowly picked her up. Xiu Taga walked directly to the basement. Today, Liu Mengchao and Edward came to his home.
When they were inside, Xiu Ta was cautious and did not show his laboratory to these two people.
It's not because I'm worried that the kid named ** Dehua will see something strange. After all, although he is a genius alchemist, he is not half his age, so he won't see anything strange anyway. It's just another one.
The man named Liu Mengchao was different. He seemed to be suspicious, and he found a reason to stay at his home today. He thought he didn't see it, but he didn't expect that he had already seen through Liu Mengchao's secrets.
idea.
I have been quietly waiting for Liu Mengchao to leave his home before starting this preparation.
"Nina, Nina! You are such a good girl for daddy."
With that said, Xiu Taga put his daughter down. He was squatting on the ground, touching his daughter's cheek with one hand, and said with a smile, "Dad is making some preparations here. Go and bring Alexander over.
!”
"Okay, Dad!"
Nina nodded excitedly, turned around and ran outside. Her steps were so brisk and she sounded so sweet.
Liu Mengchao's figure emerged from the shadows, standing quietly in the corner, watching the little girl jumping around and playing with her big white dog.
When we were at Xiu Taga's house during the day, the little girl had such a happy expression on her face as she played with Brother Edward and her big white dog.
"Why bother?"
Liu Mengchao said softly, turned his head and looked at Xiu Taga's basement behind him. This house had to be visited during the day. He and Edward were not allowed to go in. But it seemed that if it was just
If the Edward brothers came, this man would definitely let them in to take a look, right?
Are you a little afraid of yourself?
Should I say that he is hopelessly stupid, or that he still retains some wisdom in his mind?
"No matter how you look at it, it's the former, right?"
Liu Mengchao watched Nina leading her big white dog, jumping all the way towards the basement. Without saying much, Liu Mengchao didn't even make any sound, and followed the little girl like a shadow.
., It’s strange to say that even if the little girl Nina didn’t notice Liu Mengchao’s figure, the big white dog Alexander she was leading had a hazy expression.
"Dad! We are coming!"
Nina waved excitedly at Xiu Taga. It seemed that this little girl had infinite joy in her heart. She was really a girl who trusted her father extremely.
"Come...come!"
As soon as he saw his daughter and the big white dog being led by her, a smile appeared on Xiu Taga's face. He was so happy that he didn't even notice that the basement door was not blocked.
His daughter closed it casually.
But what does it matter? Anyway, I am the only one in my home now, and no one can disturb me anymore.
"Nina. Come, hold Alexander's hand and stand here."
Saying that, Xiu Taga pointed at the alchemy circle drawn in front of him.
The basis of alchemy is the circle, which Liu Mengchao just learned today. Although he has read The Door of Truth, Liu Mengchao still doesn't understand the principles and general outlines of alchemy until now.
However... when you see the circle in front of you, even an idiot will realize that it is clearly a trace of alchemy.
"I don't think it's necessary, Mr. Hugh Taggar."
Before Nina could take a step forward, Liu Mengchao directly picked up the little girl.
"Liu Mengchao!?"
With a hint of surprise and amazement on her face, Nina curiously looked at Liu Mengchao who was holding her in the air, and couldn't help pouting, "Hurry up and put me down, Nina and Alexander still need to help."
Dad’s busy!”
Help?
Liu Mengchao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth after listening to the girl's words.
"I'm also here to help Mr. Xiu Taga."
"Is that so? My brother is such a good person!" Nina nodded excitedly after hearing Liu Mengchao's words, her face flushed with excitement.
"Although that's not the case." Liu Mengchao said as he put Nina down. However, Liu Mengchao's eyes did not seem to be focused on the little girl, and he was seen walking straight towards Xiutaga.
"I think, first of all, if you want to carry out alchemical synthesis, the first step should be to sort out your thoughts. I'm right, Mr. Xiu Tajia."
There was no answer, Xiu Taga just stared at Liu Mengchao coldly, his eyes hidden behind glass glasses were cloudy and uncertain, and seemed to be full of curse words.
"Don't look at me like this, I'm not too curious about your research." Liu Mengchao said as he squatted down and stood next to the formation formation drawn by Xiu Taga, "I'm just
I’m a little curious, Xiu Tajia, your wife left you two years ago, and it was exactly two years ago that you obtained the qualification of a national alchemist. Is there any connection between the two?”
Without answering, Xiu Taga just stared at Liu Mengchao more indifferently. The corners of his mouth were cold and biting, and his eyes were without any emotion.
"I guess this is what inspired me to study hard?"
"So...can you talk about your synthetic work two years ago? A synthetic beast that can speak human language, if I remember correctly..." Liu Mengchao turned around and his eyes lingered on the big white dog Alexander.
, "The shape of the synthetic beast is similar to a big dog with long hair, right?"
"You really have a keen sense of smell... Just relying on your sense of smell, you are already qualified to become the country's military dog."
"So, what I just said is right?" Liu Mengchao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, "Two years ago, you refined your wife and your dog into a dog that can
A synthetic beast that speaks human language. I think this is why this synthetic beast speaks the same sentence from beginning to end, right?"
I want to die...
This is the news Liu Mengchao heard from Roy Mustang.
"Did you do the same thing back then? You persuaded your wife to stand on this formation, and then turned the person into an animal alive?"
"This is science!"
"So the next goal," Liu Mengchao ignored Xiu Taga's words and just looked at Nina with a pity look, "is to use his daughter as a material so that he can pass the review of his country's alchemist.
