[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

After Loki and Thor left the earth, the peaceful and not so peaceful days lasted for a while.

Occasionally, there would be a black cat lying on the window sill at the door of Alphonse's store, whose fur was so clean that not a trace of dust could be found, but no matter how vigilantly the little shop assistant looked at it, the other party would not respond any more.The little prince of Asa seemed very dissatisfied with his brother's answer, fell off the rainbow bridge in front of the king of gods, and then...

——Started the pleasant interstellar journey of the god of tricks.

He even regarded Edelfelt Jewelry Store as a transit point for himself. Fortunately, he just borrowed the communication technique here, and the animal form flashed by, and he would hide directly in the next second. New York Temple.

Then ushered in a fight with the big brother of the temple, Karl Modu.

"You really don't intend to give it to your brother again?"

Alphonse twirled a large diamond in his hand, even the god of trickery who was not short of money, it must have taken him a lot of effort to find all those amethysts rich in magic power: "It is obviously custom-made. "

"Anyway, he didn't really ascend the throne."

The black cat flicked its tail, yawned, and jumped out of the window without hesitation: "Just put it with you first, and I will remember to come back and take it away in your lifetime."

The scenery outside the window was blurred for a while, and with the departure of the black cat, it changed from a grassland somewhere to the street scene of Brick Street.The next second, the door of the alchemy studio was slammed open, and Karl Modu broke in panting: "Where's that bastard evil god?"

Alphonse pointed to the window, the magic remnant on it was disappearing bit by bit.Modu glared bitterly at the window sill, which was already empty, and slammed the door of the room hard again.

In this regard, Alphonse: "..."

Anyway... no one can convince this guy, as long as Loki can guarantee that he will not be caught by Modu, then Modu will be happy.Alphonse tossed a gemstone up and down in the room, watched the news with his mobile phone, and felt that there was no need to meddle in these nosy matters.

Even the ancient mage himself couldn't get over this guy's stubborn thinking. Karl Modu had never bumped into the south wall and didn't look back, and he was already notoriously difficult to deal with.Fortunately, he had enough respect for the Supreme Mage and Lord Gem, and raised his brows again and again, but he still didn't kick out the guy who was eating popcorn in the temple.

On the news scrolling on the mobile phone, Tony Stark double 叒叕 again... occupied the front page headlines.

A guy who claimed to be called Jin Bin issued death threats to several government officials and successfully killed one person. Tony Stark publicly claimed on social media that he was personally responsible for the incident. One day, this bastard will be hung on an electric fan and beaten repeatedly.Alphonse's fingers brushed the comments of netizens. Every time this guy made a statement, it would lead to eager discussions all over the world. The crowds flocking to eat melons would almost completely overwhelm social media.

Closing the phone, he took down the latest magic book from the temple, put it under his elbow, and went out the door.Accompanied by continuous space jumps that no one noticed, a few minutes later, Alphonse sat down on a bench in a New York park, surrounded by white pigeons pacing back and forth.

Before turning a few pages in the book, another person sat down beside him.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Alphonse."

The man bowed and took off his top hat.

"Mr Philip."

Alphonse didn't raise his head, his eyes were still fixed on the book: "I didn't expect you to wear something other than the formal suit of S.H.I.E.L.D."

He meant Philip's double-breasted trench coat.The other party didn't think there was anything wrong with this blunt greeting, and took over the topic very naturally: "You must be more free during non-working hours."

"I thought it was your working hours."

Alphonse asked: "What do you want from me?"

"Just chat casually?"

The other party leaned back on the bench: "For example, what books are you reading?"

Alphonse held up the magic book to reveal the spine, on which was written "Operation and Maintenance of Earth Leys".The book is protected by magic, and people without magic power can only see a thick stack of white paper when they open it.Detective Philip smiled gently, and the conversation was as fluent as if he was a magician: "The information you brought out from the temple? Are you planning to protect the leylines of New York recently?"

"Unlike Britain and Hong Kong, New York's temple has no physical guardians."

The other party looked like he wanted to talk in detail, and Alphonse finally closed the magic book—a remittance text message popped up on his mobile phone. Everyone has also discovered that this alchemist, who has never been too lazy to deal with many people, can actually use simple and rude bribery to buy the other party for a short period of time.

"So in order to prevent some unscrupulous magicians from using the power of the leylines to do evil, we need to often deploy people to maintain and check the flow of magic power in the leylines."

The alchemist explained seriously.

"The guardian of the temple is the supreme mage?"

Detective Phillip leaned on the bench in the park with the same gesture as Alphonse. If one looked from behind, no one would have thought that they were discussing such a serious topic—he even slapped the He took out a small package of miscellaneous grain bait, and threw it around to feed the pigeons.

"That's not the case. The temple is essentially guarded by all magicians from the origin of Weishandi. The responsibility of the supreme mage is not only to maintain the peace on the mysterious side of the earth, but also to guard the land left by Weishandi. The god-made armor below, the Eye of Agamotto."

"What it is?"

The last god-made armor he knew was Thor's Mjolnir. I have to say that every time I get involved with this kind of thing, it makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The alchemist just turned his head and smiled inexplicably, and said, "That's a magic."

Philip threw a large amount of pigeon feed into the open space in front of him, so the sound of hula-la rang from his ears, and pigeons of various colors landed on the grass in front of him.He looked sideways at the blond alchemist for a long time, but the other party was still indifferent. He opened the magic book that he couldn't see anything and patiently flipped through the pages, except for the hair on his forehead that was blown by the wind. , the whole person sat like a statue.

So he can only continue to talk without words - after all, there is no time limit for spending money to buy the other party. Maybe when the other party thinks it's time, he will stand up, pat his clothes and walk away through the portal.

"Hey, have you read the latest news?"

Alphonse took out his mobile phone, the homepage of the news portal was still occupied by Stark's face, he swiped up and down the screen a few times: "Jin Bin?"

"Yes, that's right, that guy should be the leader of many gang organizations."

Agent Philip nodded: "A congressman was killed a few days ago..."

He realized that Alphonse didn't seem to be very interested in this kind of dispute between ordinary humans, so he skipped this paragraph directly: "Stark said he was going to deal with them, but in fact, he was trying to attract each other. His gaze—a new hero who was active in Queens was being targeted by those guys, so he planned to kill Jin Bing first."

Alphonse nodded: "Then he will work hard."

It is still not salty or light tone.

Agent Philip: "..."

He began to feel that Tony Stark and the alchemist Alphonse had a good relationship, whether it was true or not, this friendship seemed really plastic.

As if feeling the strong resentment from the side, Alphonse rarely turned his head to look at Philip, and added: "He wears a ruby ​​with healing properties that can regenerate human limbs. With the signal alarm function, it can become a new target point for my space jump after the treatment function is triggered."

In short, he won't die anyway, so he can do whatever he likes.

The eighth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. was obviously choked by the level of this money's ability: "How much did you sell this gem for?"

Alphonse gave an exorbitant price not to lose to the two sets of steel suits. Obviously, even if the U.S. financial reimbursement, it is impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to equip every high-level agent with this level of security system , but such a large amount of cash flow still did not appear in Alphonse's bank account, that is to say...

"Are you still supporting that Mr. Animsfia?"

Now that it is an eventful autumn, Alphonse sells gems more frequently than before. After the demon Crowley kicked Tony Stark into the gate of the mysterious world, his income has even increased to one It is a very considerable amount. If managed properly, Alphonse's name can be ranked among the richest people in New York. But even so, the alchemist still maintains an appearance of "I am short of money", He spends most of his time reclusively in his jewelry store.

"I don't know if I can have a chance to meet that gentleman..."

He was actually ready.This question is bound to be rejected, and in this way, he can follow this step and ask the next question - about the establishment of the Avengers Alliance.

Thor is an upright and upright god, and as the prince of Asgard, he is actually very easy to talk to. He has no obvious shortcomings except that Asgard is not connected to the wireless network and cannot be contacted at ordinary times. They have long intended to If you want to absorb this Asa god who promised to protect the earth to become a member of the Avengers, if possible, Alphonse Edelfelt, who can stay on the earth, would be a better candidate, Aegis The Bureau's current understanding of the mysterious world is too thin, and Alphonse's practice of retaining all the final interpretation rights alone has made many people feel a little nerve-wracking.

However, what Loki said before leaving made some people vigilant again.

"The time of Maris Billy Animsfia is very precious, and most of the people in the astronomy department don't pay much attention to the things on the surface. The struggle of human beings and the change of the times have nothing to do with them, so you There is no need to worry about any harm his research will have on the world."

Alphonse said: "Their deduction is often calculated in hundreds of years and thousands of years, and they look at the human beings who are running the world on the scale of the life of the gods. Even if you want to talk to him about something, from the perspective of S.H.I.E.L.D. There is a high probability that I will ignore you..."

Moreover, Animusfia's ignoring people is the real "ignoring" on the physical level. He will directly block his irrelevant vision, like bypassing a tree stump, and put the obtrusive visual information in his head. Filter it out, and then filter the speaking voice into white noise that does not cause any waves in the brain.

Philip nodded in understanding, and was about to open up the conversation about the Avengers when he heard the alchemist add another sentence: "—but recently, I happen to have something to visit him."

Philip: "...!!"

Alphonse went on to say: "If it is the clerk you arranged in my store, he can follow."

This guy's hands and feet are getting better and better at running errands. There is such a free handyman, so it's not in vain.

The scale of the priority of the event has tilted rapidly. Compared with the Avengers, which has been discussed in the internal meeting without making a big mistake, Animsfia, who has never had contact with S.H.I.E.L.D., is obviously more important and urgent , No one knows what this monarch who has taken away a lot of money is doing. They urgently need a proof that is visible to the naked eye, and the other party is not harmful to the world.

Detective Philip narrowed his eyes.

If it is still necessary, there may still be voices within SHIELD, wanting to find out what the content of Animsfia's research is... SHIELD is such an organization that protects the world with a certain domineering attitude This may be too broad, and this path may not really be correct, but now they have no choice but to go in this direction.

"Can you bring someone else?"

The agent tried to bargain: "We provide our own food and lodging, please take care of it and there will be an additional fee. Both Agent Romanov and Agent Patton have excellent ratings in SHIELD, no matter which of them Anyone who walks with you will never let you down."

"He's busy. I asked him to do something this time. Otherwise, that guy wouldn't have come down from the top of the mountain for half a day."

Alphonse shook his head: "Animusfia's magic is a classic astronomy, I would like to ask him to help me take a look at the geography of the United States."

The last time spiritualists tried to pry the leylines in the Pacific Ocean basin to summon demons, this situation is by no means an isolated case. There are not many magicians who have fallen into madness, but each of them is particularly troublesome, so for the leylines monitoring becomes extremely important.

"Do you think there is a problem with the spiritual pulse of the United States?"

Agent Philip took out his mobile phone and sent several text messages in succession.As we all know, there is a reason for the magician's behavior. If the alchemist can make this judgment, and then refer to the book he is holding now, it seems that he has made preparations in advance and only waits for the final verification by professionals: "Where the hell is it? Has there been such a reference before?"

"Yes, but the place of reference itself is rather special. It is a small city in Japan called Fuyuki with a small population..."

Alphonse took out a general tourist map of the United States from his space pocket, and pointed at a city that is "not recommended for foreign tourists":

"I judge that the abnormality of the leylines appears here."

Detective Phillip's eyebrows finally frowned. The dark forces in this city were deeply rooted, and even S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't placed many agents in this place.

Even Jin, who has been making a lot of noise in the news recently, would not rush to the capital of crime, the city with a high crime rate, Gotham.

"You're going to Gotham next?"

Detective Philip was very confused. He really didn't know whether this blond alchemist knew about the situation in Gotham City. After all, he was a British-Finnish man, so he probably didn't know much about major cities in the United States. ...

"To be honest, let's take Agent Romanov or Agent Patton with us. This is my personal suggestion, not from the perspective of S.H.I.E.L.D."

If the guardian of the world on the mysterious side was suddenly hit with a sap, the loss would be too great.

Alphonse stood up from the bench and shook his head.

"I've got guests in Gotham, and I don't think he's going to let the issue go unnoticed."

The author has something to say: Rocky: I’m here, I’m gone again——

Karl Modu: guna! ! !
