[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

After the press conference of Extremis Virus, Tony Stark completely dumped Pepper's identity as CEO.Even a big salary increase can't alleviate the other party's distress. After all, in addition to the hopeless virus and the olive branch of the partner, she still needs to face...

"Tony??"

Pepper broke down and yelled, "Can you get your magician friends to email me normally? I'm sick of owls, cats, and mice finding my house!"

There are also little paper figurines from Toyo!

Tony couldn't help laughing: "You are the CEO of Stark Industries now, you can consider whether to recruit Strange or his subordinates to help you receive the letter."

Pepper rolled her eyes and stepped on her high heels to leave, while Tony Stark smiled with open hands and boarded the plane to the South Pole.

After an aerial refueling, the plane landed in a mountain in Antarctica.

After passing through a series of iris recognition and password doors, Tony Stark walked straight into the central control room, and at a glance saw Alphonse wearing a conspicuous white robe, talking to the technicians.

The employees here have signed non-disclosure agreements, come from all corners of the country, magicians and ordinary people alike.S.H.I.E.L.D. even sent in some agents with technical backgrounds, and some employees from Stark Industries' former weapon research and development department also came to work.

Through the electronic light screen, the blond alchemist stretched out a report: "About this part, it can actually be..."

Phineas Chaldeas, on the surface, exists as an observatory, but actually watches the future of mankind in the Antarctic.

"Hey Al, so busy?"

Tony greeted him familiarly, and took the report: "I will ask the smart steward to report to you for revisions on the purely scientific side, and ask them to trouble El-Melloi II on the mystical side."

"You can't help arrange all the basic jobs like this."

Alphonse frowned, but still followed Tony all the way: "Are you almost busy with work?"

"Of course, Maris Billy invited me to come and participate in the online debugging of the spirit sub-calculation mechanism."

Tony nodded, and embraced the opponent's arm. After the jeweler no longer rejected physical contact so much, he almost wanted to hang on the opponent's body all the time. He only hated that he couldn't become a cat like Loki: "You have been a spiritual child Transfer suitability test?"

"It's been done, the value is ridiculously bad, and there is only a weak adaptability that is better than nothing."

Alphonse spread his hands: "I thought the result would be good... After all, I am a magician of the second method."

It turns out that it is a pity that even if he can borrow magic power from the parallel world, Mr. Sorcerer does not have the ability to bond with most heroic spirits, and his comprehensive adaptability ranks second to last among all the staff participating in the test in Chaldea. The first is Olga Marie Animsfia herself, the next heir to the Department of Astronomy, who is totally useless.

When Tony was busy with work, the low-rated duo occasionally chatted over snacks in Chaldea’s canteen—the canteen here was quite good, and it was said that the chef was invited directly from New York.Although El-Melloi II wanted to come here to work and even decided to resign from the duties of the monarch, his step-sister was not yet an adult, so he could only go back to the Clock Tower to teach after completing the spiritual transfer adaptability test. .

However, although he couldn't come here himself, he sent his disciples to practice.Coles, with brown hair and glasses, greeted everyone greenly: "Hello, I am a disciple of King Elmero II of modern magic. Please take care of me!"

Coles also has the adaptability of spirit sub-transfer. In addition to the spirit sub-calculation device, he participates in the development and maintenance of another part of the heroic spirit summoning system that Tony can't handle at all.

Everything is going in a good direction. For the first time, the cooperation between the magician and the science side has become extremely smooth in front of Tony Stark, a genius who has been cheating.

In the same year, Weber El-Melloi Velvet participated in the séance ceremony of the Pseudo-Servant. This magician, who is not considered a good magician, unexpectedly kept his own consciousness in the dominant position. Successfully established contact with the heroic spirit named Zhuge Kongming.Considering the loss of magic power and the burning of his own magic circuits, Weber Velvet reached an agreement with the heroic spirit. During his existence as "Lord El-Melloi II", the other party actively compressed his power and fell into a deep sleep.

Maintaining the existence of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System requires the consumption of a huge amount of magic power. In this link, Tony Stark's Ark Reactor-Magic Power Conversion Device and Corles' Electricity Magic provide enough to support multiple servants. source of motivation.

The wind and snow in Antarctica never stops, and the environment of Chaldeas within the multiple protective barriers is like spring all year round.

However, being a magician's consultant is not Tony Stark's main job. Most of his time is still consumed in heroic activities, defeating one enemy after another.The battle suit protected by the jeweler is stronger than before, and the shells fired at him are often intercepted by spells in mid-air, leaving the enemy with a confused expression.

The observatory in Animsfia only looks at the human nature 200 years later. Such a cautious and considerate gaze can only confirm that human civilization still exists 200 years later, but a hero often has to live in the present.

After all... still existing, and happiness in life are two completely different evaluation indicators.

In the Avengers Building, it was rare that people came together.

Thor even brought his younger brother - Rocky Odinson has long been familiar with this group of Avengers, but even if Nick Fury repeatedly hinted, the other party would not agree anyway. Refusing to join this organization with a stupid-sounding name—even if Thor would be willing to waste his precious time for this group of ants in the atrium.

"This planet is pretty much nothing but food!"

The other party berated the earth mercilessly: "I really don't know why you stay with these ants."

"Don't be so mean to Loki, and you also have a friend from the Atrium, it's just that he was temporarily sent to a place called Africa to perform a mission."

Sol patted his brother's shoulder hard, his hands so strong that he staggered directly: "If you don't have time to play with your friends, you can stay here first."

"Actually, it's not a mission, it's just to identify whether some things that don't know whether they belong to mysticism are threatening."

Natasha raised her eyebrows and added with a smile: "Now that Alphonse is not so eager to make money, his attitude towards work has become a lot more lazy. Fury is almost worried about this."

Still, when it comes to carrying Nick Fury, everyone agrees it's a good thing.As a member who has witnessed the changes in Alphonse, the other party has seen a lot of life visibly during this period of time-maybe too much life, since Tony's smart housekeeper began to support the one-click curse function in the game environment Afterwards, it was the highest-rated feature Alphonse ever used.

In this regard, the little shop assistant: "..."

All right, world peace is fine.

Avengers intern Peter Parker sat among a group of big shots, his cheeks were flushed with excitement, he got the autographs of all Avengers members today!No regrets in life!He decided to go home and have the autographs framed!

I even saw the rumored Supreme Mage—God, the way the other party walked out of the golden portal was so cool!

But of course, he will not forget that mysterious alchemist whom he has never seen so far...

"Will Mr. Alphonse be here today?"

The boy's eyes are shining, and the person who can be favored by Mr. Stark must also be a very powerful hero!

Loki sat next to Peter and rolled his eyes. He couldn't do anything more with the human cub: "If he's done with his work, he can come back with a portal. The specific method is similar to that of the second-rate mage with black and white hair just now." .”

The adjective "second-rate" made Stephen Strange frowned: "I thought that the guy known as the number one magician in the Nine Realms should know that this is the dissipation effect caused by too much magic power?"

"I thought that a supreme mage should be able to manage his own magic power and the magic power of Emperor Weishan well, instead of dyeing his hair just because he has an inexhaustible source of magic power."

Loki leaned back, mocking without hesitation.

Peter Parker looked left and right, and felt extremely excited. If only he had such eloquence, then those big bullies in their school would definitely be so angry that they shut themselves up.

The person in charge of paying everyone's salary came late, Tony Stark reached out and brushed Peter Parker's hair, and said calmly under the other's shocked eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, then maybe we can start Today's topic? I feel like I haven't had a party in too long."

He had just completed a new idea, and after Thor generously expressed his willingness to help provide some Uru metal to cover the price of the magic eye, Tony Stark received a large number of new research materials—only It's a pity that some time ago, the research and development timelines of both Chaldeas and Extremis were very tight, which made him so busy that he didn't have time to think about this great gift from the dwarf planet Nidawi.

Captain America thought of the adjective Tony Stark "party animal" with some anxiety. Although he hadn't been messing around at a party for a long time, the World War II veteran was really worried after considering the Howard son's reputation: "Stark, you have to think about Alphonse, he will never want to see you at the party..."

The moral benchmark of the United States has considered the words used, and really does not want to use too damaging words to describe their comrades in arms: "...acted recklessly at the party."

"What are you kidding."

Tony Stark's eyes widened, he really wanted to come, but if it was really at a party...he wasn't quite sure whether the alchemists educated by Fairy Township and Gem Weng would lose their magic power on the spot Cooking it to himself: "It's just a party, Cap, no matter what you're thinking right now, this party doesn't have anything else attached to your head, and I plan to invite Mr. Parker to join me."

——The two people were so serious that they didn't match their mouths, and they actually talked back and forth.

As for the other person named...

"Really! I'm so honored!"

Peter Parker jumped up happily when Tony Stark called his name, and the response was surprisingly fast, and Loki gave another hard "tsk" at this look.

Wasting time studying runes and being dragged to the courtyard to participate in useless social activities is enough in itself, but also to participate in this kind of noisy party, it seems that Thor has completely forgotten the farce at the Asgard banquet 400 years ago ——Locky gritted his teeth and looked at his familiar golden brother, and decided to either do some fresh pranks, or just slip away as a cat and let that fool find it again.

However, Thor never gave him this chance—I don’t know why, the blond son of Odin seems to have become a lot smarter in the past few days. Washed off, and even the whole person became more stable.

Although he usually dislikes his brother's lack of brains, Loki was a little surprised when facing Sol, who suddenly became smart after not seeing him for a few months.

It's as if when changing eyes, even the IQ has been raised.

The only dissenter was easily suppressed by his brother, and the party went on as planned.For the first time in years, Edelfelt Jewelers closed early because even the clerk was dragged over to open champagne as one of the parties.The transparent goblets piled up tall spikes. Clint Barton volunteered to hang a safety rope on his body, and slowly lowered it from the beam, it is said that he planned to show off his superb champagne pouring skills.

In short, in a sense it was a wild dance of demons.

Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, Peter Parker sat on the sofa with an orange soda in his arms and watched the adults make a mess, but soon, his attention was focused on the portal that suddenly appeared in the air—— The azure portal slowly unfolded from the air. It was a completely different style of magic from the magic that Doctor Strange was used to.One arm was drawn out first, and Tony Stark stretched his arm naturally, holding the wrist that was too thin compared to most people in this room with his strength, and with a little force, he pushed the opponent out of the door. pulled out.

Alphonse took a closer look, and was obviously at a loss when faced with the chaotic scene where even Captain America started to drink with Saul.

The method of opening the portal must be wrong today.

"The job over there in Africa is over? Guess what... what Norse god left on Earth again?"

When Tony said this, he glanced sideways at Sol and Loki. How many things Odin buried on the earth back then directly increased the workload of S.H.I.E.L.D.: "It just so happens that both of them are there, The earth is not Asgard's garbage dump, let them take back the useless things."

This is also the attitude of S.H.I.E.L.D. for most of the current god-made military equipment.The vast majority of human beings are a race without magical power, so the remnants of the gods will not be well utilized by them, and some will even spontaneously consume the user's life because they cannot absorb the activated magic power, creating various All kinds of trouble and confusion.Therefore, directly contacting Saul to bring these things back to Asgard, or letting Crowley or Aziraphale contact their own bosses is the optimal solution.

And Alphonse shook his head: "It's not that serious, it's just that some local unenlightened magicians have gone too far in their experiments. I have already contacted the Magic Association to deal with the follow-up."

The other party said it lightly, but the fluctuation of magic power on his body still hasn't dissipated.Tony Stark took out his magic power detection device to look at the value, and then smiled knowingly: "Well, the working hours are over, and now it's time to enjoy the party."

Cocktails of various colors were placed on the table, Peter Parker was chewing pizza while staring at the blond jeweler with bright eyes, God, the other party's clothes looked really stylish, and besides being bulletproof, they could also be transformed into various What kind of style... He stuffed the food into his mouth repeatedly, and greeted Alphonse with puffed cheeks, his voice was a little stuttering with excitement: "Nice to meet you! Mr. Edelfelt ! I've heard your name for a long time!"

"Nice to meet you."

Alphonse had heard about this new young hero in New York, and he took out a small pendant as a welcome gift, and managed to make the child incoherently excited: "The magic power stored in it will protect you .”

"You were not so generous to me in the beginning."

Tony curled his lips, completely ignoring that he had also given Peter a brand new suit, which also came with matching artificial intelligence and multiple combat module accessories: "And it's not so generous now."

His alchemist thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure out how to favor one over another.

It is obvious that Wulu metal is used as a special magic material that can circulate magic power. He has done a good enough defense on the new battle suit, and even the curse can be rebounded, but the tone of the other party does not seem to be true. I really intend to study this point in detail... Alphonse, whose love experience is rounded to zero, can only guess what he wants: "Do you have any magic dress that you want?"

After all, as long as it is something that can be bought with money, Tony Stark will definitely not be missing. If this is the case, it is reasonable to speculate that it may only be related to the occult, or it may be necessary to pry the magician's contacts relationship stuff.

The other party actually nodded seriously: "Yes, but I plan to tell you after the party has been going on for a while."

As it turns out, even if Stark himself hadn't planned to include some of his early favorite activities at the party, the environment here was chaotic enough.

Rocky rushed towards his brother aggressively with a plate of cream cake, his face was obviously drunk red, Steve watched their one-sided chase with champagne, puzzled Question: "So didn't you say that Asgard's fighters never get drunk?"

It's not that this doesn't work for my younger brother.

Sol shrank his head to avoid the cake that was flying over his head, and quickly looked around for a suitable cover: "Because Loki is not an Asgardian fighter... Wait, I didn't mean you can't fight! ...Of course it doesn't mean you're not Asgardian!"

The biological structure of the Frost Giant is basically not afraid of the cold and the racial talent can make small ice cubes that are added to champagne. The son of Odin with heterochromatic pupils is still not very clear, but he was not good at learning a thousand years ago Obviously, it was too late to make up for it now, a piece of cake hit Sol's face, and when the cream slid down his beard, his whole expression was distorted so that people couldn't help laughing.

And under such circumstances, Tony Stark was able to push Alphonse a small plate of cake in the confusion: "I know you can't drink... I didn't quite understand the reason before, but now I think about it. Because you are worried about the magic riot after getting out of control?"

Alphonse raised the knife and fork and slowly ate the cream: "Part of the reason is this."

——The other part is because it doesn’t taste good.

The cake was extremely delicate, and I don't know which shop's handicraft. Alphonse lowered his eyelashes and delivered it to his mouth. thrown into the trash can.

He is actually not very good at dealing with such an environment.

A magician's party is more formal, and Tony's is always a bit chaotic, but either way, Alphonse isn't the type to enjoy it.

According to Bruce's Journal of Psychology, some people draw strength from socializing, while it is a drain on others.Alphonse silently classified the people he knew one by one in his heart. Saul was obviously the former, and El-Melloi II should be the introverted one. As for Tony Stark...

He seems to be able to do well either way.

While eating, he was distracted, and with a ding sound, the fork bumped against something metal. Alphonse dug it out three times, and found it was a pair of rings... brackets.

The place where the gemstone should have been inlaid in the center is empty.

The movement of the knife and fork paused, and Tony Stark coughed dryly.

"Hey, after all, you are more professional in this area. If I just buy something and put it on it, it will be more wasteful for you."

The mustache businessman stroked the back of his head, grinned at the jeweler, and showed his white teeth: "So can you give me a ring, please?"

Natasha who watched the whole process:? ?

Peter, who choked halfway through eating melons:? !

And this kind of operation?

The person involved was slightly dazed, then picked out the two ring holders from the pile of cakes, wiped them carefully with a napkin, and nodded in agreement.

Although he seemed to be pretending to be calm, after the other party nodded, Tony obviously relaxed: "I just said that the old Popsicle's moves from the last century are terribly embarrassing... Oh my god, my skin is getting goosebumps. "

"Stark?"

Steve, whose innocence was affected, turned his head from his seat: "I remember when you heard it, you thought this plan was good?"

"Cough...cough!"

Tony coughed several times in a row, looking extremely embarrassed: "Al, don't mind, just choose the material you think is suitable."

"it is good."
