Chapter 7 : Doraemon

Hearing this, Rohan hesitated for a moment and then looked at Suhuyanly who nodded, took a deep breath and said in a calm voice.

"We've both been in the town of Teb for almost two months investigating the activities of the army, the army took this town about three months ago, usually when they attack towns they destroy it completely unless it's a strategic town, but for Teb they've proceeded in a very strange way.

First of all they took the city avoiding the maximum number of civilian victims, which is very rare, secondly they avoided killing the militiamen, they preferred to capture them, which is completely against their method of extermination.

And this city is extremely well guarded getting in or out is very difficult, which is completely illogical, why waste so many soldiers to guard a simple city when these soldiers can be actively used in warfare, in addition, according to our information there are a large number of Amestris scientists sent on a mission here, according to the deputy leader of our militia, who is also a very intelligent alchemist, there is constantly great movement in alchemical flow under this city, according to him, this is extremely abnormal."

Rohan stood up and opened a box from which he took out a large card, unfolded it and placed it in front of James.

Then he took a pen and drew a circle around five buildings.

"From our research over the past few months, we've noticed that the military often brings prisoners and civilians into these buildings, but a large number of people go in every day, but no one ever comes out."

"At first, Suhuyanly and I thought it was a prison or an execution camp, but no dead bodies ever came out, and even children and babies were taken there, but even though I don't know what's going on, my instinct tells me that what's going on there must be absolutely despicable."

When Rohan said this he clenched his fists firmly, even Suhuyanly further away clenched his teeth in anger, but none of them was angrier than James who knew what was really going on, when he saw the five buildings perfectly arranged in a pentagon, he understood immediately.

"A circle of human transmutation."

But James quickly calmed down, as he currently had neither the ability nor the strength to oppose the army, hence his idea to create a militia.

He looked at Rohan for a moment and then asked.

"What do you plan to do now?".

"We already have the information we want, it's time for us to go back to our HQ, actually I was just waiting for your wound to heal because I wanted to come back with you, but since you probably won't join our militia, I have to forget about it."

"Sorry, Rohan, I've disrupted your mission."

"No don't worry, anyway by staying in the city longer than expected we got additional information yesterday on an important convoy, so It's kind of thanks to you."

"When are you leaving?" James asked curiously.

"Tomorrow we'll go out of the city through an underground tunnel and what will you do now?"

James thought for a moment before answering.

"I'm going to practice for a while, and by the way, do you know where I can get some information about alchemy."

Rohan was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he got up again and walked to a crate in which he rummaged for a few minutes before taking out a dozen books which he placed in front of James, who was astonished.

"Rohan, are you sure your name isn't Doraemon?"

"Who is this Doraemon?"

"Someone as helpful as you, thanks anyway, but are you sure I can borrow them?" Delanda James with hesitation.

"Yes, they belonged to my master, he was also Alchemist, we're currently in one of his secret study room, I don't mind lending them to you as long as you take care of them."

"Thank you again."

James and Rohan continued talking until the next day.

The two packed their bags, Rohan showed James the various hiding places of their militia in the surrounding towns, gave him their extra supplies, and left with Suhuyanly, who, despite his bad mood, nodded his head to James to say goodbye before they left, leaving James alone in the underground room.
