[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

When Alphonse and Tony Stark used Strange as the anchor to perform a space jump, they were directly transported to an operating room.

At the very beginning, he considered that this guy would be the heir of the Ancient One mage. Alphonse had tampered with him early on. He always had a positioning gem in his clothes, which was used as a target point for space jumps. , this shouldn't go wrong, but...

The two looked around and felt that something was wrong.

Alphonse: "..."

how so.

He shouldn't just die like this... If Strange died, he would have to bear the title of Supreme Mage himself.

The operating room is still a good result, if it is the morgue, it will be over.

Nurse Christine looked in horror at the two people who fell out of the portal, one of whom was the well-known Iron Man—it was shocking enough to suddenly find that Strange was seriously injured and appeared in the hospital in a strange costume. It was too late to calm down from the frightened mood, and now she even began to wonder if the way she got up today was a bit wrong, so that she strayed into some particularly psychedelic world.

"That's why I said, if the Ancient One allows this guy to deal with Casillas, there will be problems. He has only studied for a month, how could he beat a magician of his level..."

Alphonse looked at the heart rate monitor with a headache. Fortunately, the man still had a weak heartbeat: "It's not bad, he's alive and well, and he's not missing an arm or a leg."

Seeing that Alphonse was not very nervous, Tony Stark was also relieved. There was obviously no one else in this operating room, and Strange should have specially arranged it for him: "This is the heir you have chosen? ... he Copied my beard!"

Christine: "..."

Although she didn't know exactly what the situation was, she didn't intend to put up with these two outsiders: "There is an operation here, gentlemen, he was stabbed in the heart and now he is suffering from heart tamponade, although I don't know Strand How did Doctor Qi meet a friend who can fall from the sky, but if you can't help, please go out and wait!"

"She's really like Pepper."

Tony whispered to Alphonse, "Especially when you lose your temper."

Alphonse nodded in agreement: "But this time it's really too messy."

He reached out and pulled out a ruby, turned to Christine, who was full of vigilance, and said, "Of course, we are here to help him. Even if you don't believe me, you can choose to trust Stark."

When facing ordinary people, Alphonse did not hesitate to take out Tony Stark as the blame. Obviously, this face is more well-known to New York citizens.The latter also lifted up the visor of his steel suit in coordination, revealing that face that could occupy the front page of the New York Daily as long as it was photographed.

As a result Kristen became more wary.

Alphonse: "...Is this your black fan?"

Stark immediately retorted: "How is this possible!"

Alphonse took out a ruby ​​and put it on Strange's chest, magic radiance overflowed from his fingertips.

"Call Ruby"

The magic power of the gem began to repair the blood-soaked tissues on Strange's body at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing that the opponent's spell had indeed worked, Christine's tone softened a little: "Who are you?"

"As you can see, Iron Man."

Alphonse pointed at Stark without raising his head: "It's true."

He looked at the long string of heart rate detection sensors on the other person's body, and subconsciously wanted to unplug them, but was stopped by Christine: "They allow me to confirm that Dr. Stephen is still alive."

"He can't die as long as I'm here."

Even though he muttered so much, Alphonse stopped his hands: "He's the mystic of Karma Taj now, the Templar of the New York Temple, oh my god."

Alphonse suddenly thought of something: "I haven't told him that we usually need to hide our identities... If you expose it casually, you need to erase other people's memories."

He looked at Christine, and the magic power in his eye sockets was already resuming. Tony Stark quickly pulled Alphonse back, feeling as cold as he felt at the beginning: "She should be worthy of Strange." Those who trust, wait until everything is over. By the way, why hasn't he woke up yet?"

The injury on this guy's body is obviously almost healed.

Alphonse said: "Because his soul is not here."

Tony/Kristen: ? ? ?

Why are you talking about such an important question now?

"I don't know when he learned the technique of leaving the body... Most of Emperor Weishan's magic does not need to be chanted. I am not with them."

Alphonse said frankly: "According to the current situation, if his soul is not here, he is probably still fighting with some of Casillas' subordinates."

"Minister? Why are you sure it's not that guy himself?"

Tony Stark asked.

"Because he will definitely not be able to beat him."

Alphonse answered firmly.

Christine: "..."

Christine: "...!!!"

Wouldn't that be bad?

The little nurse turned pale with shock: "Who the hell are you? Why is Strange wearing such strange clothes and learning to leave his body after not seeing him for more than a month... Are you wizards (Wizard)?"

"He is a mystic, and I am an alchemist."

Alphonse put it succinctly: "And he's Iron Man."

To those who had nothing to do with mystery, he was terse.Stark, who was cue, was suddenly silent for a moment. When he found that Alphonse really didn't intend to explain more, he reluctantly took over the work of comforting others, and reached out and patted Christine's shoulder, who was still in panic: " The thing is, this gentleman is now fighting the Death Eaters who want to resurrect Voldemort to destroy the world, and we're stopping him."

Alphonse: "...?"

This metaphor is very simple and clear, and Christine immediately understood the meaning, but she still couldn't believe it: "So Doctor Strange really..."

"Didn't you see it all? Although I felt incredible when I saw it for the first time, even I was saved by his gems."

Stark shrugged: "But that guy always asks for a lot of money, a gem can probably equal the price of one of my battle suits, so the doctor is probably going to be in huge debt under this kind of forced buying and selling. "

Christine: "..."

She felt like she was on a roller coaster.

While the three of them were talking, Strange, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw three heads covering the shadowless lights and surrounding him. This feeling was... quite subtle.

Kristen, Alphonse, and... Iron Man.

He propped himself up and sat up from the operating table, and Christine quickly helped him up, only to find that the penetrating wound on the other's chest was so healed that no trace could be seen.What shocked him even more was that the treatment this time was quite thorough, as if he had been completely reborn. Together with his trembling hands before, they were as intact as if they had never been in a car accident.

But now is not the time to marvel at jewel magic.

"Is there a shapeshifter among us?"

He looked at Stark: "Still, Stark Industries has already begun to dabble in the field of magic."

"The Avengers have decided to intervene in this matter."

Tony raised his eyebrows as if he was serious: "I am your foreign aid."

So Strange no longer pursued these details. Anyway, if Alphonse was around, he had some confidence: "I trapped one of them in the desert, and the other was just killed by Mo in the soul state. Take over at a high speed, Casillas should have been trapped in the New York Temple by me before, and the supreme venerable went somewhere, they want the dark dimension to descend on the whole world, they must be stopped!"

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Strange began to straighten his clothes with his hands and feet: "Fortunately, the main culprit and the accomplices have been stopped..."

"Strange, you don't think you can really use this method to stop them, do you?"

Alphonse immediately hid his face. This guy didn't know as much about the battles among magicians as Stark, and his theoretical knowledge was too late to practice: "You are all magicians who can use space teleportation."

The latter snapped his fingers: "You mean he has escaped? And the New York Temple..."

"One of them no longer needs to be tracked."

Modu suddenly pushed open the door of the operating room, holding an eyebrow-level stick flowing with golden magic power in his hand, with a particularly ugly expression: "I just shattered his soul. Compete with me for soul spells, tsk."

"You killed him?"

Strange's voice suddenly rose, but unfortunately, everyone present accepted this matter well, only Christine glanced at him with some anxiety, and Modo directly ignored Strange's words In a word, he turned to look at Alphonse with a sullen look on his face: "They said that the ancient one lived for so long because he leveraged the power of the dark dimension, and that power can make people live forever...Is that true, Alphonse? .”

"My master has lived for a long time. By the way, there was a worm envoy from the Maqili family who died a terrible death. He also lived for more than 500 years. There was an agent named Dugan in the S.H.I.E.L.D. I have lived for more than a hundred years, and it is not difficult to prolong the life span of the body, the key lies in the consumption of the soul, Mo Du."

Alphonse warned: "Your soul has been worn out too much."

"Don't change the subject!"

Modu yelled suddenly, which surprised everyone, and Alphonse threw a sound-blocking magic to the door of the operating room: "Tell me! The Supreme Venerable, she, has she used the dark dimension's magic?" strength!"

There was silence, and when everyone was looking at each other, Stephen Strange suddenly said: "Yes, Iker Casillas showed me the remaining magic formula."

"She really continued her life in this form."

With a clang, the Life Tribunal Staff in Modu's hand fell to the ground suddenly. The interruption of the magic power caused the staff to return to a normal forearm-length appearance.

"The supreme venerable said that the magicians of Emperor Weishan will always fight against the power of the dark dimension, just like stepping on the edge of the cliff of the abyss, and need to be vigilant all the time not to fall into it."

He murmured to himself: "He said that life has its own laws. What we have to do is to make the world run smoothly and develop continuously, instead of trying to change it in a humble way."

We are the border of the mysterious world, the last fortress and city wall, the guardians before the darkness, and the ascetic monks who have devoted their lives to guarding the order of the world.

The pride he once had was now dissipated in the confusion. Seeing that neither of these two guys can fight now, Alphonse rubbed his brows: "In short, you two can figure it out. Gu Yi wants to protect this world. For sure, I don’t have time to pour chicken soup for your soul right now, you two hurry up and try to kill Casillas’s subordinates.”

"Kill it?!"

Strange, whose IQ was still online but hadn't broken the three views yet, was full of vigilance: "This is illegal! Even if they are vicious guys, you can't..."

"Then you have to wait until they destroy the world before trying to find a solution?"

Alphonse didn't look back: "Think clearly, this is not Gotham, welcome to the world of magicians. By the way, I advise you to leave this hospital early, if you use this as a battlefield, many people will die Yes, they will not pay attention to the life and death of ordinary humans."

The blond jeweler opened the door to the New York Temple without hesitation, and Stark and Stark disappeared from everyone's sight.

"In short, we must first avoid fighting in the real world."

Strange compromised: "Let's get out of here first."

Modu nodded, his complexion was astonishingly pale.

New York Temple, crypt.

Sure enough, the protective shield here was also completely destroyed. Casillas walked swiftly, and there were traces of battle left by magic power. It seemed that Gu Yi had already been here.

The geography of New York City is different from that of London. It cannot provide the magic power needed to activate the blue cone stone, not to mention that there are only two pieces of blue cone stone. Alphonse looked at the function of the temple that had been completely shut down. Come up with any solution.

Tony Stark, who had been running after the magician for a long time, suddenly said, "What's bothering you? I think a genius brain might be able to help."

Alphonse glanced at him. This person seemed never to be bothered by any technical problems: "It's a problem of magic, and it's a very complicated ritual."

The implication is that if you don't have any foundation in mysticism, forget it.

This guy's first reaction is always to refuse, Tony Stark raised his eyebrows, he felt that he had gradually figured out the other party's temper: "Then you can at least tell me what is the part that bothers you the most, anyway, I Seeing that you don't plan to go out and fight the Death Eaters head-on, and you won't lose money if you say a few more words, we can talk about five dollars first."

Alphonse: "..."

He glanced at Tony and reconfirmed that even if the world is about to end, this person is definitely the type who would point the middle finger at the doomsday, and he is not afraid at all.

When he met the other person's eyes, the mustache businessman obviously misunderstood: "Or we can talk about five thousand dollars, if you are willing to say a few more words...you can do it if you don't want to."

Alphonse: "..."

Confirmed his eyes, he is a ruthless person.

So he could only say succinctly: "The three temples are the cornerstones to resist the erosion of the dark dimension in the real world. You can understand that there are three immovable fortresses here, with strong anti-air firepower, so aliens dare not invade. But now two of them function as fortresses have been destroyed by Casillas. The gems I left in London are used to activate another backup technique. I originally considered saving at least the New York Temple. The function allowed El-Melloi II to go to Hong Kong, but he did not expect that even this place was destroyed. The magic power of the leylines in New York City is not enough to support this complicated magic formula, but if the second method is used to maintain the magic power supply , it will be difficult for me to concentrate on building spells.”

Although this is a difficult problem, it is not completely without a solution. Just like the original method in Gotham City, he can choose to temporarily destroy his identity in an isolated world, so that the same time node Temporarily produce two or more individuals named Alphonse Bathmelo Edelfelt in it, which is enough to provide a sufficient amount of magic power to complete the spell.

However, such magic will generate a considerable amount of load, and once Dormammu is successfully summoned, the person who set up this defensive spell may not even be able to persist in its activation.

"That is to say, as long as you provide enough magic power, you can continue to prepare this magic?"

Tony said suddenly.

"Theoretically so."

Alphonse nodded cautiously: "You don't have a magic circuit, maybe you don't know how much magic power it needs... Calling a magician won't work, even if you spend time in New York, it will be difficult to maintain it like this technique."

Tony smiled, thinking of the huge undersea light wheels in Atlantis that were lit by "magic" for lighting.

"And what if it's just enough energy?"

He asked, "Can heat, electricity, or whatever, be converted into magic enough for you to use?"

"……Can."

Alphonse answered blankly, still not understanding the situation. Although he knew a lot about modern society, he was not proficient after all.

"That's good."

Tony Stark curled his mouth: "The most reliable clean energy source in the world, Stark Industries will provide you with impeccable services."

But I may need you to help me open the portal. Tony Stark nodded his chest. The current Ark reactor cannot be dismantled and used directly, but I have a warehouse of spare parts at home.Well, maybe a matching converter or two, but I've got those as well.

Alphonse opened his eyes slightly, seeing the other party showing a confident expression of "as expected", he couldn't help but think of the words that Gu Yi once mentioned.

"The more you probe into the future, the more harsh the future will be due to the disturbances brought about by the observations. The Giant's Crypt Atlas Institute once worked hard to save the world, but in the end only created a world that can destroy the world seven times. Terrible weapon."

"Al, what we need is to conform to and guide the development trend of the world. I will never reject the future that is coming to me."

Al, even the Nordic gods have their twilight moment, your life and mine are the same, one day I will leave this world, and when that time comes, I will leave the rest to you.The heir I have chosen still needs a period of time to learn. Before the other party becomes a unique magician, don't let him fall into the dark dimension.

——This is the last time, as the unfortunate people who have seen too far into the future, there is no need for an extra farewell between you and me.

Magicians with the ability to detect the future often speak in a godlike way. Alphonse doesn't know much about this. Now, he saw a bearded businessman in front of him pull out three or four pieces of blue light emitting Cherenkov radiation. He raised his eyebrows and asked himself if these pieces were enough, and there were still a lot of them in the basement of his house, which really made people feel extraordinarily reliable.

—Don't deny the future that's coming your way, Al.

The blond-haired alchemist reached out to take an Ark reactor, and placed it solemnly on the workbench in the basement of the New York Temple. The triangular reactor looked like a jewel illuminated by magic.

"Then, let's chant—"

Author has something to say: Tony: Let's talk about five bucks first :-)

Al: ...?
