[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Just ask, is there anyone who lives in New York who doesn't know about Captain America?

Among other things, as long as he is not a person who does not go out all year round, the traces of Steve Rogers are almost as comprehensive as Tony Stark.

For example, the toy store on the street will sell the figure of the famous shield.

For example, the surrounding schools will play Mr. Rogers' educational films, and you can see this national star on the screen in every physical education class.

For example, he and his Howling Commandos even have an entire museum to introduce, and visiting museums is on almost every school's activity list.

For another example, there are many people in S.H.I.E.L.D. who are fans of this 70-year World War II veteran—the kind that people usually take sneak shots of when they come and go in S.H.I.E.L.D.

The little detective was short of breath, and for a while, his mouth was running, and he said habitually: "Please come to the guests!"

Steve: "..."

He could only hold the door frame and repeat gently: "I'm looking for Alphonse Edelfelt."

The alchemist wearing a long-lined robe came out of the workshop, and was taken aback when he saw the person coming: "Are you looking for me?"

This person should have nothing to do with mystery, right?

The two looked at each other.

Steve was wearing civilian clothes rather than the combat uniform you might see in a toy store window, his motorcycle was parked outside the store, and he wasn't armed with any weapons.And Alphonse was processing gemstones in the workshop, and his magic dress seemed to have stepped out of a medieval scroll.

"It's some of my personal hobbies."

Alphonse pointed to his clothes: "Furry asked you to come to me? Did he tell you about me?"

"He said that you are a magician. To be honest, if someone else came to tell me that, I would definitely think that the other party was joking, but that person is Fury, and it is such a serious place in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office... ..."

The man's eyebrows stretched out: "I was convinced when I saw you, this is the image of the mage I saw in the story books when I was a child, the only difference is that you are much younger than the mages in those stories. "

Alphonse, who was wearing a white robe with intricate patterns and decorated with precious stones, was short of a staff: "..."

Alphonse welcomed the visitor into the living room where the guests were entertained, snapped his fingers, and two cups of steaming black tea appeared out of thin air on the table.Curiously, Steve picked up the black teacup, warming it with his hands. It was obviously just an ordinary white porcelain cup, but...

"Because Fury told you I'm a wizard."

Alphonse smiled slightly: "Obviously, it's magic."

His understanding of mystery is too shallow, Nick Fury obviously didn't intend to let the other party know the essence of the title of alchemist, but he instructed the other party to contact him...Alphonse is also looking at this famous man The veteran of World War II, after meeting the opponent's sight, the latter showed a rather shy smile.

"I heard about Atlantis."

He said bluntly: "I'm the one Fury arranged to go to Atlantis."

Not the king of the land, but enough to be respected and loved.

Transforming the physique of the soldiers is enough to prevent the land people from being ashamed in front of the Atlanteans.

Sincere and firm, gentle and kind, it fully reflects the land's attitude towards the ocean and its desire to continue to maintain peace.

In a sense, there really are few people better suited to do this than Steve.

He understood the truth, but looking at the character in front of him with justice and innocence written all over his face, Alphonse... was still lost in thought.

Animsfia always looks at the stars, and the worldly affairs hardly attract their attention; Edelfelt is a family of magicians from Finland. Although they are actively involved in the world, they are only limited to business operations. Most of the people he interacts with are residents of the mysterious world... Thinking about it this way, he really doesn't have many ordinary human friends.

But in recent months, the increase has been too fast.

Tony Stark who broke into life on his own, Banner who was entrusted because of Hulk, and Steve who was instructed by Fury to ride a motorcycle and park in front of his store.

"I understand."

Finally, he knocked on the table: "When the time is right, I will contact you through Fury."

This is the expulsion order in disguise, but the American soldier who is a lot taller than him doesn't seem to understand: "Maybe you can tell me something about Atlantis? After all, it is the connection between land and sea. I wonder if I should bring some presents with me, and I'm really curious about Mr. Al's matter..."

Anyway, I just don't want to leave.

Steve chatted so awkwardly that his teeth were sour, but he couldn't give up easily.

In Fury's office, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. said earnestly that Al is a solitary magician who is the key to resolving the all-out war between Atlantis and the ground.Magicians have their own organizations and base camps, just like those described in novels and movies, they also have their own worlds.

"So, what is my mission?"

The American soldier blinked his blue eyes and asked seriously.

"You decide. Surveillance is useless to this person. According to the current intelligence, they can haunt places like mirror space and imaginary space, and can perform long-distance space jumps. Some of them have short-term future vision. Their power No smaller than a weapon of modern technology, and even more treacherous - just a few months ago, this guy single-handedly took out a Stark-made iron suit in less than 5 minutes."

This sounds a little surprising.

"After all, you are the best person I know to make peace."

Fury means a lot: "Whether it's with Atlantis or the mysterious realm."

……

Alphonse looked at the big blond man in front of him with some headaches. He probably didn't even know the difference between magic and magic, so he was sent to him.

The clerk did not know where to find a lot of limited-edition cards of Captain America to ask for autographs, and enthusiastically urged the store manager to take a photo with him: "If the store wants to be big, it must have publicity! If you agree to take a photo with Mr. Stark If you print it out and stick it in the store, there may be more customers who come to buy gems.”

Alphonse: "..."

"You can make a group photo wall and stick it on..."

The clerk walked around the gem display cabinet and pointed to the blank wall in the store: "It's hanging here! The photo of Captain America is on the left, and the photo of Mr. Stark is on the right."

"...Put a photo of your director in the middle?"

Alphonse couldn't help laughing: "Wouldn't it become the Brooklyn branch of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"If you can really think that way, Director Fury will probably wake up laughing from his dreams."

The clerk muttered: "The weekly meeting reminds us to keep an eye on the magician living in New York. How can we keep an eye on it?"

"...You have to sigh that these people have a good temper recently, such as those under Gu Yi."

After hearing this, Alphonse said with pity: "Otherwise you ordinary people have no resistance to curses...it's quite dangerous."

The clerk shivered vigorously.

Magicians are indeed dangerous guys.

Steve looked at the interaction between the store manager and the clerk with great interest. He knew that this was the agent sent by SHIELD to be here to be responsible for information transmission and recording, but now it seems that the relationship between the two people The relationship between them is not bad.

——Based on the very fragile sense of distance deliberately maintained by Alphonse.

"What are you going to do next?"

He pointed to the motorcycle outside the store: "I don't have any tasks these days. If there is anything I can do to help, heck, I'd be happy. You know... I'm not very able to integrate into this era. Usually there are no arrangements, and they are very good at keeping secrets.”

"So this is your new mission?"

Alphonse tilted his head friendly: "Your soul is a bit out of tune with this world. I think that's probably why Fury called you here."

Every magician lives in the crowd of ordinary people like an individual who is out of place, and the person in front of him is, in a sense, exactly the same as himself.

"Coincidentally, the place I'm going to next, if Captain America can be there in person, I think everyone will be very happy-the last time I promised them that Iron Man would pass by there, the children were all crazy."

children?

Captain America was a little surprised, but it sounded good.He stepped on his motorcycle, pointed to the back seat of the car, and threw a helmet to Alphonse: "Maybe I have this honor to drive a magician who brings peace, if you don't plan to teleport there."

A flash of blue light flashed, and the alchemist in front of him changed his clothes and straddled the motorcycle with a helmet on.

Half an hour after Steve drove the motorcycle beyond the speed limit, they arrived at an autism correction center.

The kids were literally crazy about it—that's what Al said.

In Steve's view, the sight of a large group of children standing or sitting with different expressions staring straight at him stunned even the hero of the people who had been through many trials and hardships.

Afterwards, he raised a smiling expression to the crowd that he had made countless times facing the camera.
