[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

"...Tony."

Looking at the unconscious magician, Alphonse stretched out an arm and pointed in the direction of the intersection of Brick Street, and suddenly said: "Take him to drive in this direction, when you see many pedestrians on the street After that, even if he leaves the affected area, after confirming his safety, take him to the hospital for treatment."

"If Thor is still on Earth, ask him to contact Odin and say..."

Alphonse paused, and then dismissed the idea: "Forget it, you just take him away."

Tony Stark didn't answer, turned around and carried the unconscious magician into the back seat of the car, and lit up the row of instruments above the cab: "Start the autopilot mode. You heard what Alphonse said just now, right?" ? Just do what he said, drive this car to the Avengers Building, and then contact the staff to take him to the infirmary."

"Copy that, Sir."

There was a response from the smart butler in the car.

The smart butler controlled the self-driving sports car and drove away. Stark, who was wearing a golden and red battle suit, spread his hands towards Alphonse: "I have already arranged for him, where shall we go now?"

"you……"

Alphonse frowned. This must be the death predicted by the ancient one, but he didn't expect that everything would happen so quickly, and he didn't know if Stephen Strange would grow up enough to succeed the ancient one. In other words, she intends to make a last desperate fight before she dies.In short, no matter which possibility it is, it is necessary for him to ensure that the basic functions of several temples are still operating.

But...he turned his head to look at Stark, and after meeting his eyes, the other party gave him a thumbs up.

"...Then follow me closely, let's go to London."

Before it all exploded, Karma Taj.

When he first came into contact with the Eye of Agamotto, strange power flowed through the magic circuit, and Stephen Strange's ability to adapt far exceeded Mordo's expectations.

This is the magician taught by the Supreme One himself, and she obviously expects him. If this is the case, he should also cooperate with the Supreme One to fulfill the will of the Supreme One.Time magic is not something that everyone can drive. It is impossible to find someone who can remember those cursed spells, and who can successfully activate the magic that reverses time. Out of the second person.

"Once I have seen it once, I will never forget it again."

Strange was even a little proud: "I still have two doctorates, otherwise how could I become the hottest surgeon in New York."

"It's not something you can do with a good memory alone."

Wang Chensheng said that this involves the adaptability of the magic circuit, the talent for using magic, the ability to understand the occult, and the complex and complicated theoretical knowledge that many people will not be able to touch in a few lifetimes.

That's right, this is definitely not something that ordinary magicians can do. Modu's mood is extremely complicated, but it is this guy who has no interest in the root cause and just wants to heal his hands. Break the mystery here.

Magicians do have a general saying of "natural determinism", because everyone is doing their best, but...

"Since you already know what our mystics are doing, you can also drive the Eye of Agamotto."

Modu finally said in a deep voice: "Then it's time for you to join..."

"Wait, you may have misunderstood me."

Strange made a gesture to take off the Eye of Agamotto hanging around his neck. He had the illusion that he was on a thief ship for no reason: "I am a doctor, and I joined here just to treat my hand..."

"Healer?"

Modu raised his eyebrows and smiled with a complicated expression: "Don't you know that many magicians in the clock tower can cure this, what did Alphonse tell you?"

Strange: "...??"

So he was really on a thief ship?

At the moment when the three were in a stalemate, the gates leading to the London Temple exploded. In the chaos, Strange was thrown backhanded into one of the gates by Modo: "Run! Don't let them catch you!"

Strange suddenly fell to the ground, staggered a few steps, and felt the howling magical fluctuations from the staff of the court of life. He didn't hesitate, the only thing he could do at this time with almost no actual combat experience, It seems that the only thing left is to escape with the most important Eye of Agamotto.

The London Temple is already in a mess.

Even the space jump couldn't locate the inside of the temple. Alphonse considered a compromise and planned to jump to the vicinity of the temple first and then fly over with Stark.

By the time they arrived at the temple, the Law and Political Department of the Clock Tower had already opened up a space isolation from the outside world to prevent this turmoil that only belonged to magicians from affecting ordinary people who didn't know it.He and Stark pushed aside the crowd and saw several familiar faces sharply.

"Mr. Barthumello."

A woman with an obvious East Asian appearance and wearing a yuzen furisode kimono pushed her eyes, and said slowly: "This incident, can our law and politics department be characterized as being caused by the inability of the current supreme mage to control his disciples?" What about the turmoil? After all, Mr. Casillas is the disciple of His Excellency Ancient, and the magicians of Vissandi killed each other, which is really interesting."

Alphonse glanced at her, but said nothing.

It would be great if Luvia was here, he thought, with his sister's level of tearing up the clock tower and making it hard to be an opponent, the quarrel would never lose the wind, but he really didn't have the mood to dismiss the law and politics department now.But this Ms. Kano Hishiri did not intend to let Alphonse go: "Sir, the Barthumello family let you stay in New York to prevent this kind of trouble from happening, right? If the magicians of Visandi If they are not rated enough to protect their god-made armor, then it is not impossible for the clock tower to take over..."

"I will submit a report to the clock tower later, Miss Huaye."

Alphonse pushed her away without raising his head and said: "If you are talking about the current supreme venerable, I'm sorry, today is the date she set for her own death, and I don't think the political department will chase after the dead. Blame it."

"A mage who knows his own life and death... is really calm."

Kakino Hishiri pursed his lips and smiled, and was about to say something, when he heard Tony Stark, who had been standing behind Alphonse, pat the alchemist on the shoulder.

"I thought what kind of organization the Clock Tower was."

He said loudly in a voice that everyone could hear: "It turns out that there are also such fellows who only want to share the spoils and shirk responsibility like members of Congress, fishing in troubled waters!"

Alphonse: "..."

For a moment, he couldn't even tell which part Stark's map gun was attacking. Both members of Congress and the legal and political department felt that they were affected.

The female from the Department of Law and Political Science in a kimono squinted her eyes as if she had just seen Tony, her voice was still calm and she pretended to be surprised: "Oh, Mr. Barthumello, you seem to have done a lot in New York? Otherwise, how could you Kidnapping an ordinary guy who's exceptionally good at creating chaos in a place like this—"

"After all, it was Crowley who said that I am highly valued by hell. In a sense, I also know angels, demons and Norse gods at the same time, so it is not an exaggeration to know some magicians."

Tony Stark rolled his eyes in his battle suit: "And the land price of this land is not very expensive. If you say a few more words, I can consider buying this place first. If you talk nonsense, I will sue you privately." Break into the house."

Huaye: "..."

It's been a long time since no one has bullied her like this, and she is a little uncomfortable.

Alphonse: "...Actually, the land here is quite expensive."

After all, this is London. Although Visandi's magicians are indeed relatively poor and far away from the urban area, the price of land in the suburbs of London should not be so cheap after hundreds of years.

"Compared to Stark Industries Building?"

Tony asked back.

Alphonse: "...Then your building is more valuable."

The two walked into the London Temple side by side, leaving the legal and political department behind.Tony Stark couldn't wait to laugh out loud: "I really don't know you have such a good temper, does she think this is her home, why bear with that guy."

Alphonse also pursed his lips, with a smile on his eyes: "The Department of Law and Political Science is a department dedicated to maintaining the order of magicians. It is different from what most other magicians pursue. But I am also the first The first time I saw her with that expression... poof."

At the end, Alphonse also laughed out loud. Obviously, he himself had a somewhat depressed life in London, and now he felt a slight pleasure of revenge.

The interior of the London Temple is empty and dilapidated, and there are pieces of broken glass caused by shock waves caused by excessive magic power release.Alphonse bent down to pick up one piece, the fingertips glowed with a blue phosphorescence of magic power, and after a simple inspection, he concluded: "This indeed has the power of the dark dimension remaining, it seems that Casillas can't be rescued completely. "

The function of the temple here has been destroyed to the point where there is little left, and it is almost impossible to maintain the original function of the London temple to resist the dark dimension.Going further inside, many people lay down in disorder in the hall. They were all dressed in clothes that did not match the style of London, and there were mottled blood on their foreheads.

[Unable to detect traces of life, Sir.]

The smart butler judged directly without waiting for Stark's order.

"They are..."

Tony was shocked.

"—the magicians guarding the London Temple. Some people from Vissandi's line will specialize in guarding the three temples in rotation. In their magic system, this is much more important than personal life. The London Saint The function of the temple is almost shut down, in fact, I can roughly guess the situation here when I saw that the defensive techniques and core magic here have been almost destroyed."

The blond jeweler stretched out one arm and pressed against the wall. With the injection of magic power, waves of magic power rushed from all directions in the room. With the activation of the operation, the whole hall took on a new look. Those mottled bloodstains and broken glass It returned to its original position, the chandelier that fell on the ground returned to the ceiling, and the overturned candlestick stood up again, but the magicians who closed their eyes were still unable to open their eyes even though there was no blood on their bodies.

"The function as a temple has been destroyed, but at any rate, this is still a magic workshop with sound content."

Alphonse put on a hood to cover his long golden hair, and couldn't see his expression clearly: "Gu Yi really chose a troublesome time to leave the stage, I'm still wondering why she said so much to me...Let's go, here There is nothing I can do anymore, the London Temple can only be repaired and taken over by magicians from their faction, I guess Strange and the others should be in New York or Hong Kong now."

He walked towards the basement while talking, Tony Stark glanced at the dead lying on the ground, turned around and followed Alphonse's pace: "What are you going to do?"

"Here are the backup spells I left behind. There are many magicians in London, and those old monsters in the clock tower are not easy to deal with. Casillas will definitely not be stupid enough to let the dark dimension collide with the real space here, In other words, his location will be in New York or Hong Kong.”

He pushed open a door to the basement, and placed a transparent blue cone the size of an egg in the center of the slowly rising workbench.

"God, this is all your net worth."

Tony Stark was speechless: "You really paid for it."

Recently, he has done a lot of research on the price of gemstones. California, the United States, has the only bluestone deposit in the world. This kind of gemstone will emit extremely strong fluorescence under the irradiation of short-wave ultraviolet rays, and it is only found in serpentine. It was only found in the blue core of the blue cone, and such a large gem-quality blue cone... Stark began to habitually roll the price in his head. In addition, it probably also stored Alphonse An unknown magic formula, after all, this guy can sell a small piece of garnet for a sky-high price.

The jewel and the support of the workbench fit together, emitting a shining blue light similar to Cerenkov radiation.Alphonse looked at the chest of the golden-red battle suit behind him, and suddenly felt that these two products, which were obviously from the two sides of science and mystery, looked so similar after being lit up.

"Feel sorry--"

Just as the jewel magic was slowly starting, another voice came from behind Alphonse and Tony Stark.

The two turned their heads together.

It was a thin British man with exaggerated long hair. He wore a pair of magic eyes on his face, and held a cigar that was burning but had no smell of smoke between his fingers.Beside him was a girl who also lowered her cloak and was not tall. She was holding a huge exaggerated scythe in her hand, and she was timidly looking at the two in front of her.

"Mr. El-Melloi II."

Alphonse's voice suddenly softened: "I didn't expect you to come here, thank you for being willing to be my sister's teacher."

"...Grey, lift the alert, the other party is someone you can trust."

"I thought that something so big happened today that I could see the Supreme Mage here... I didn't expect you to come here."

Weber El-Melloi Velvet obviously had a headache: "I was still thinking if I could help, I would try to ask the other party to use her magic to help restore the magic seal of the El-Melloi family... Looks like it’s still not enough.”

Magic engraving, this is a new word again, Tony shrugged his shoulders in his battle suit, feeling that he needs to write down a lot of content to ask separately later.

Alphonse drew the last symbol on the wall: "It's not too late to catch up, Weber, you came just in time, take this to Hong Kong, and install it in this place in the Hong Kong Temple."

Alphonse pulled out another blue cone of the same size: "Let's say it's the emergency plan of Lord Gem, and they'll let you in."

El-Melloi II nodded and reacted quickly: "You want to activate that magic?"

"maybe."

Alphonse did not give a clear answer. The current situation seems to have been out of control, but it seems that it is still in Gu Yi's prediction: "Gu Yi has her own arrangements, although I don't know if a person who just started learning magic How can someone with less than two months beat Casillas, but she thinks she can."

Alphonse put on the suspension ring, failed twice in a row, and finally drew a portal: "The opposite is Hong Kong, you go quickly."

"Master, I am also with you."

Gray followed closely in El-Melloi's footsteps, but the other party turned his head and refused: "Grey, go back and find Reinis and Luvia."

"But……"

"Alphonse's strength is higher than that of Luvia. If he is here, I will not be in danger."

El-Melloi II dismissed the blame with confidence: "Go back."

"Yes, Master..."

The silver-haired girl took two steps back, then turned around, and bowed deeply in Alphonse's direction: "Then, Mr. Alphonse! And...Mr. Stark, my master I'm counting on you guys!"

After finishing speaking, the girl turned her head, turned and ran out of the basement of the London Temple.

Obviously, as long as the guy who reads the news, it is difficult to ignore the presence of Tony Stark-if it is not deliberately ignored with the unwarranted pride of an orthodox magician.

Seeing that his inner disciples had completely left, El-Melloi II was relieved, and turned to Alphonse: "The circulation of magic power is mutual, and too strong power will often bring about the same degree of danger. I think the two of you I have personally faced many such situations, and I don’t want to see my students lose their elder brother one day, and I don’t want Maris Billy’s research to be interrupted because of your death.”

His tone paused, and he laughed at himself: "If your technique can be successful...you know, I also have the adaptability of spirit transfer, as long as I can see that king again, no matter what it is Whatever your request, I will do my best to satisfy you.”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and stepped into the portal without hesitation.

……

In the silent basement, Tony suddenly said:

"Al, are all you magicians so paranoid? Although I know you are short of money, don't say anything like 'whatever you ask for' to others."

"Well, I can even subsidize you some more... Seriously, this statement is terrible, it makes people's minds full of X-rated images."

Alphonse: "..."

Dormammu is about to descend into the real world, you don't feel nervous at all, do you?

The author has something to say: Tin Can: It sounds terrifying! (touches chin)

Al: What's the mess in your head? ? ?
