When the train stopped slowly with the sound of the whistle, Liu Mengchao, who was sitting in the carriage, realized that the world in front of him had completely changed.

In the center is a big city.

This was the first feeling in Liu Mengchao's heart. Everywhere in the city bureau looked like steampunk, and from time to time, the light of alchemy could be seen lighting up in the city. Such a scene made the city

He showed a look of ease.

"Central Railway Station, Central Railway Station. Passengers getting off here, please be ready!"

As soon as the car stopped, Liu Mengchao could already hear the slightly noisy shouts outside the window. Liu Mengchao was still wearing the pure white robe, hiding his face under the pure white hood.

As for the first place Liu Mengchao will go to, it is the office responsible for recording the National Alchemist. According to brothers Roy Mustang and Edward, the National Alchemist is a force that only belongs to the president, and is also the national

's army.

They are naturally under the jurisdiction of the state.

"Excuse me, where is the National Alchemist Management Center?"

As soon as he stepped off the platform, Liu Mengchao walked straight to a soldier wearing a dark blue military uniform and asked. Amestolis is a pure military country because there are threats of enemy attacks from all sides of the country. In this country

There are also no police inside. The functions of the police are replaced by military police wearing dark blue military uniforms.

"National Alchemist Management Center?" Upon hearing Liu Mengchao's question, the originally lazy expression on the military policeman's face suddenly changed.

You must know that in this country, national alchemists are special talents who enjoy the treatment of majors. They only fall under the jurisdiction of the president, and they can be said to be on a fast track to the top of the country.

"You can walk straight along Baker Street, just go out from the exit of Central Station, and then turn directly to the left. That is Baker Street. After crossing Baker Street, you should be able to see a four-story building.

"

Fourth floor?

Liu Mengchao nodded gently, indicating that he already understood.

"Your Excellency must want to take part in the national alchemist examination, right? Although I know nothing about alchemy, I also know that this is a big deal." The military policeman said with excitement, as if he could also be honored, "

If you can really become the national alchemist, I will have witnessed a legend with my own eyes!"

The gendarme who spoke could not hide the excitement on his face. Indeed, although Amestolis is a country of alchemy, compared to ordinary people, powerful alchemists are still rare. Not to mention

Let’s talk about people like Liu Mengchao who want to become a national alchemist. As long as someone like this succeeds in becoming a national alchemist, he will instantly become the most famous figure in the entire country.

"Then let me borrow your good words."

Liu Mengchao smiled and nodded. He walked directly past the gendarme. After passing through the door of the central station carved with white marble, Liu Mengchao had arrived at the Baker Street that the gendarme had just mentioned.

I saw that this street was not as narrow as Liu Mengchao imagined. It could almost accommodate two cars driving opposite each other at the same time. There were not many pedestrians on the road, and there was no trace of a country that was always under the shadow of war.

appearance.

Liu Mengchao didn't walk very fast. He passed by the float selling red roses. Liu Mengchao glanced at the restaurant on his right. Inside, they were selling grilled sausages that had just been launched recently. He seemed to have heard the clerk at the station door advertise that they were made with newly-born sausages.

Made from veal.

Liu Mengchao secretly thought that if he came out of the Central Military Police Headquarters later, he must come here to have dinner. The journey from Dongcheng to Central was far less easy than Liu Mengchao had imagined before. Not only did the train go very slowly, but it was also full of seats.

The chair was extremely stiff. Apart from the fact that the scenery along the way was worth seeing, Liu Mengchao could not even think of any reason to take the chair again.

"Please stop."

Liu Mengchao was thinking about his own thoughts. When he raised his head again, someone had already blocked his steps.

"This is the Central Gendarmerie Headquarters, and irrelevant people are not allowed to enter."

The military policeman guarding the door said quietly. Liu Mengchao noticed that the military policeman's eyes were lingering on him, and his hand was already on the long gun.

It seems that even though it is the central government, it is still very vigilant.

Liu Mengchao looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. He smiled and observed the scene in front of him, and then frowned. Liu Mengchao remembered that although the national alchemist was selected from ordinary alchemists

.They will be awarded this title after passing the examination.

But before that...

"I'm here to sign up to become a state alchemist."

Liu Mengchao raised his head and said quietly.

"The registration time has ended now." The military policeman guarding the gate looked up at Liu Mengchao, a little unsure. After all, although he was only a soldier guarding the gate of the military police headquarters, he still knew very well about such things. National Alchemy

The magician management center is located inside their military police headquarters.

"Unless someone has already reported your name here first, and then you can go here to receive the exam notice." The military policeman slowly said the only special situation. After all, alchemists are scattered all over the motherland, but

It's not like high school students who can all rush to the college entrance examination room at the first command.

"Colonel Roy Mustang is my recommender." Liu Mengchao took out the materials that Roy Mustang had stuffed into his arms before arriving at the Central Committee, and handed them to the military police.

"Please come in!"

The military police snapped a military salute and made way for Liu Mengchao.

The marble pavement was stepped on under Liu Mengchao's feet, and the surrounding windows were clean and bright. After passing through the hall, Liu Mengchao turned around the small corridor on the second floor and came to the door of an office. Liu Mengchao looked up and saw the people above.

written words.

"Office of the State Alchemist."

Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes and opened the door directly and walked in. Logically speaking, all national alchemists should be managed by the president of the country. But after all, he is only one person, so he established such an office.

It is convenient for the State Alchemist to submit his report every year, and now...

"Who is your recommender?"

As soon as Liu Mengchao walked into the door of the National Alchemist's Office, the female clerk sitting behind the desk immediately asked with a smile. She was very familiar with this situation. The National Alchemist Examination actually implements recommendation

A system that integrates the system of education and examination.

Generally speaking, if an alchemist wants to become a national alchemist, he must first obtain the recommendation of an alchemist from another country. After all, the number of national alchemists is limited. If every alchemist comes to try

If we give it a try, I'm afraid there won't be so much manpower wasted on this.

"Roy Mustang." Liu Mengchao said as he handed the paper in his arms to the clerk. There was no female clerk on the other side, so Liu Mengchao threw out another piece of paper.

"Edward Elric."

"oh?"

Looking at the two pieces of paper Liu Mengchao handed over, there was a look of surprise on her face. After comparing the patterns on the two pieces of paper in detail, she raised her head again. Liu Mengchao paid attention.

Seeing that, her eyes were filled with admiration.

"Colonel Roy Mustang, the alchemist recommended by the Flame Alchemist every time, is a person who is extremely knowledgeable in alchemy. Just like the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric,

You have outstanding talent. I believe that you will be able to make a splash in the national alchemist examination."

The female clerk's words even contained a hint of flattery. Liu Mengchao didn't show much complacency, he just smiled and nodded.

"Speaking of which, you are the first person recommended by Lord Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist."

In response to such compliments, Liu Mengchao still just smiled. Now he felt that no matter what he said, it was inappropriate, and smiling was the most suitable for the current situation.

"By the way, I don't know if the two National Alchemists have explained to you the National Alchemist examination process. But according to the regulations, I still have to explain it to you again."

The female clerk stood up with a smile and spread out a pamphlet in front of Liu Mengchao. On it was roughly written the National Alchemist Examination Guidelines.

"First of all, the national alchemist exam requires at least three exams. Generally speaking, according to regulations, the first exam is a written exam about alchemy. As long as you can reach 60 points, you will be eligible to participate in the next interview.

.However, I still hope that Lin can achieve high scores as much as possible, otherwise

You may encounter some difficulties during the interview. The first is a written test, which we will hold in ten days. We hope you can participate on time. As for the location of the test, it is the Military Police Headquarters. We

At that time, the auditorium will be temporarily used as an examination venue."

Liu Mengchao nodded, indicating that he fully understood.

"Then the next step is the interview. We will directly inform you of the time and location of the interview. However, the interview questions will not be determined until on-site."

"at last……"

The female clerk said and smiled slightly at Liu Mengchao.
Chapter completed!
