Chapter 540: Ajax and Hats' SECRET
After hours of desperate research and brainstorming. Edward and Alphonse decoded the papers. Though it was mainly Edward and Alphonse as Ajax didn't know much about Alchemy. But he was there for their moral support.
The two brothers fell down on the floor as the truth was in front of their eyes. They lost all hope of getting their bodies fixed.
Ajax looked at the notes they made and found out why they looked sad. "So the main component of a philosopher's stone is a human sacrifice? Well, this is dirty."
"This is evil. How can the government do this?" Edward muttered.
"What happened in here? Why does everything look so messy?" 2nd Lieutenant Maria asked as she entered the room with her partner.
"They cracked the research. The main ingredient of the Philosopher's stone is human sacrifice." Ajax replied. He was also a bit saddened by this. He remembers that the philosopher's stone in Phixheim didn't require any sacrifice.
After that, Ajax followed the Elric brothers to their room in the hotel. The two brothers, depressingly, sat and didn't speak. Ajax was getting uneasy as he was very hyperactive.
"Come on, just wait for a few days and when my Grandpa is here, everything will be okay. You don't need human sacrifices. Let's go out and have some fun. It will cheer you two up." Ajax suggested.
But both of them still chose to stay depressed. Ajax decided to go out and have fun on his own. "Fine, I will go myself."
