[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Since the Shazam incident, Tony Stark hasn't mentioned anything about the occult for a long time.

Thaddeus Sivana's experience serves as a lesson, or a warning.During an ordinary hero event, Tony Stark met another magician whom he was not very familiar with, and the iron suit swept away all the armed forces around him, and lifted his mask: "What are you doing here? "

The guy who copied his beard, Agent Clinton Barton, once joked that they might be called Beard Brothers together.

Stephen Strange stared at the golden-red armor in front of him. These days, his temperament has calmed down a lot, and he already has the demeanor of a mature magician: "This is a battlefield—don't look at me like that, war It will lead to death, and if too many people die, their souls will interfere with this world, or be used by evil magicians for other purposes, and I want to prevent this in advance.”

Tony Stark didn't say a word, it sounded like that, he was responsible for ending the war, and the other party - wearing a strange magic floating cloak, was said to be doing post-disaster reconstruction.

Strange even came here with the rescue team, but he broke away from the main force halfway, doing some soul purification and other tasks that sound like priests, while taking time to rescue the wounded.

He also had an impression of that cloak. They had played a few games of chess before, but they didn't expect that they would defect to Strange so soon.

They lack mutual understanding. The last time they met, Stephen Strange declined the invitation of the Avengers - the other party politely stated that he was about to die from overwork as the supreme mage, and he wanted to To maintain a little personal interest as a doctor, the identity of "Doctor Strange" still exists today, but he has become busier, and can only accept some critical operations that no one can handle.

After becoming the supreme mage, the safety of the whole world is suddenly placed on his shoulders. All the mystics of the origin of Weishandi will obey his own orders, so their responsibility is their own responsibility, and their hope is His hope is that in the rest of his life, which is endless in sight, he not only needs to remind himself not to fall into the abyss of the dark dimension, to be the last watchman of the mysterious world, but also to take on the important task of protecting the entire earth.

This job sounds difficult, but in fact it is not.It would be better to say that under such circumstances, he was able to force himself to take a second job in the hospital to do surgery, purely because "Dr. Strange"'s superb medical skills and reputation made the dean reluctant to give up this golden signboard.

"My job is over."

Tony Stark spoke first: "If you plan to stay here, it's up to you, I plan to go back to New York first."

The red-gold visor was put back on his face, and the mystic in the red cloak apparently hesitated for a moment: "Wait a minute."

"how?"

"—Alphonse, I mean, Mr. Edelfelt, since the Dormammu thing... is he in a good state?"

Stephen Strange finally asked, "I know he's been living with you all this time."

The steel suit that was planning to take off on the spot suddenly turned around and asked in a somewhat strange tone: "What? What do you want from him?"

Tony couldn't help but feel a little sour.They are all magicians who protect the world, and even have a teacher-student relationship-Alphonse said that in the past, Nepal helped guide students, and the one in front of him was the one who brought them. They have a common topic and a close identity. The same goal, and even comrades who can really fight side by side... There is a common language everywhere.

Magicians are the chosen ones, and those who do not have this talent forcefully try to gain power, only to become mad like Sivana and turn into ashes.And as far as he knew, this Doctor Strange did not bury his name. Since he succeeded the Supreme Mage, he has been running around in a new field without stopping, even when he was in the operating room. It was all reserved for him.Take a break from your busy schedule.

"Well... I have some potions here that can heal the burning of the magic circuit. It should be helpful to his current situation. I just took over the work of the temple before. information, I tried to do it.”

Strange opened the space casually, and took out a small medicine bag wrapped in oil paper from the portal as big as his arm: "Take it back and boil the water for better effect. After boiling the water for 3 minutes, you can eat it. If you find it troublesome , you can swallow it directly.”

Tony Stark took it, wondering a little: "Why don't you give it to him yourself?"

"..."

Strange thought about his experience in Karma Taj. The gem merchants who had always been well-clothed and well-fed were very picky about the cost of food and clothing. In the end, even if they were hungry and used gems that stored energy in advance, they were unwilling to wrong themselves. Therefore, he said without a word: "This medicine is very bad. If I give it to him, he will definitely not drink it."

Tony: "..."

Fine.

New York, Avengers Tower.

More than half of the acquisition process for Sivana Industries has gone through. With Ms. Pepper Potts' thunderous means, it will not be long before Sivana Industries in Philadelphia will be replaced with the Stark Industries sign.Holding the document, the high-spirited secretary found Alphonse in the training room on high heels. At that time, the jeweler was watching the training of Captain America and the Black Widow. The wide opening and closing of the action is of great ornamental value.

The training room is well-equipped, with sandbags and treadmills next to a set of parallel bars, and Alphonse sometimes does rehabilitation training here.

The stream of magical power that melted into ice was re-merging into the magic circuit bit by bit, and his unconscious body was currently in the recovery stage. If he tried his best, Alphonse could barely move a few steps while holding the parallel bars.

——Although this is completely forced by Steve.

The alchemist, who has always lacked exercise and was too lazy to move, repeatedly emphasized that "the magic circuit will be fine if it is left alone", but the US team blinked several times and tried to persuade him that he should exercise more when recovering from a serious illness, and even used himself as a soldier Let me use my own experience as an example to prove that it is not okay to always sit in a wheelchair, even if this wheelchair has been improved by Stark to have a speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

"Although the magic circuit you mentioned will gradually recover over time, if you don't use your legs to walk well during this period of time, your muscles will easily atrophy."

The American soldier held a cup of hot cocoa and put on a heart-to-heart pose, so serious that Alphonse was embarrassed and his eyes fluttered around: "I finished watching "Rehabilitation Training for Paralyzed Patients" all night last night. It is absolutely useless for you to follow this tutorial question."

Alphonse: "..."

The other party's blue eyes were full of enthusiasm, and it was really hard for him to refuse.Although the name of this tutorial is hard to describe, one thing is true is that the magic circuit will reconnect the nerves in his lower limbs to restore walking function, but standing training and fine motor training can indeed speed up his recovery process.

At this time, Natasha and Clint would watch with great interest, making the gem dealer who has always been strategizing show such bitter and bitter expressions. Except for the drunk Tony Stark, Captain America is the first number one.

When Pepper came to the training room, what he saw was such a scene.The pretty female secretary couldn't help but curl her lips, and she handed a document to Alphonse: "This is a plan to build a new production line in New York City, and the location is the one you decided on before, when you said you were going to arrange some Mystical measures... The factory is already under construction, so I want to confirm in advance whether there is any place in the mystical field that needs to be prepared before the construction of the factory building."

It was a set of foundation maps, which briefly marked the direction of water, electricity, and gas source connections on the site and the installation of ground piles. For the convenience of a layman like Alphonse to review, notes were carefully made for convenience.

"You can make some arrangements in advance, and I happen to have corresponding gemstones in my store."

Alphonse nodded: "I will ask the clerk to pick it up and deliver it to the scene tomorrow, and then I will finalize the follow-up plan."

Pepper nodded, very satisfied with the cooperation of the other party. You must know that Tony Stark usually just came up with a plan casually and then hung a large group of people to perfect it. Alphonse answered questions like this.

Tomorrow there will be a science and technology exhibition of Stark Industries, but Tony Stark himself only needs to show his face like a mascot. Pepper decided to hand over this accompanying job to Harpy. Without knowing it, he can't be allowed to follow Alphonse.Anyway, even if his boss decides not to show his face on a whim, he can still let the steel suit bring his simulated voice to the scene to fill the scene.

"But you have other plans for recovery tomorrow."

Captain America frowned when he heard this, he had just finished a duel with Natasha, and he still had a hot towel around his neck.It is not a good habit to give up halfway. He held up the "Rehabilitation Training for Paralyzed Patients" with a face full of disapproval: "According to the training plan in this book, you need to complete it tomorrow..."

"—Pepper's side is more important."

The alchemist immediately threw the blame away and devoted himself to adding bricks and tiles: "This is one of New York City's leyline hubs. Even if it is to prevent other magicians from using this place to cause trouble, we should make corresponding arrangements in advance."

When he fled back into the hall in embarrassment, Pepper still covered his mouth and felt like laughing. Captain America's educational skills are worthy of the name for being able to force Alphonse into this. Large and middle schools are used to provide ideological education to problem students who are detained in the hall.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, they saw Dr. Bruce Banner running out of the kitchen area clutching his chest as if fleeing for his life, with a terrified expression on his face.

"……What's wrong?"

Alphonse speculated: "...someone is heating durians in the kitchen microwave?"

It had been a long time since he had seen Banner, who had always demanded himself to be steady and patient, flustered like this—he had always controlled his heart rate to prevent his heart rate from soaring to more than [-] and transforming into Hulk.

"It's much more exaggerated than warming durian in the microwave!"

Banner pointed in the direction of the kitchen area with a face full of shock: "Stark doesn't know what kind of biochemical weapon he's cooking in the kitchen!"

As soon as he entered, he was smoked out!You must know that he has just entered the big pit of baking recently, bought a lot of ingredients for baking cakes, and plans to develop a new hobby!

Pepper: "..."

Alphonse: "..."

He suddenly had a very bad premonition.

This hunch came very accurately.

When the jeweler smelled the familiar and unpleasant smell coming from the kitchen, he manipulated the wheelchair and retreated a few meters with a calm expression—then retreated to the bottom of the wall. Pepper was originally shocked that Stark was there. What a strange thing, the smell made her feel like some kind of biochemical weapon, but when she turned around, she saw Alphonse's face full of enemies, looking even more vigilant than when facing Steve.

Pepper: "..."

That's enough, I don't even need to ask questions, this must be something related to a gem dealer.

The iron suit came out with a basin of unknown objects. As he approached, everyone took a few steps back this time. Pepper covered his nose and finally couldn't help raising his voice: "Tony, this is in What are you doing?"

There was a muffled sound coming from the steel suit, and Bruce Banner rolled his eyes, guessing in his heart that this guy must have used a built-in air purifier, otherwise it would be impossible for such a mountain to collapse in front of him without changing his face: "Go up The newcomer sorcerer asked me to bring you medicine, saying that it can heal your magic circuit burns."

Alphonse used his body language to withdraw several meters in a row, expressing that he didn't need this thing at all, God, after his magic circuit was cured, his sense of taste would probably be scrapped, even if he was a magician, he rarely grew up Go through this breathless experience.

Although some magicians will take a lot of potions in order to adapt to the magic engraving... but anyway, neither Edelfelt nor Bathermelo's circuits will be inherited by him, in other words, although they have been honed Even the sense of pain is not so keen, but when it comes to taste, jewelers are still as picky as ever.

It is impossible to drink medicine, even if you wait a few more months and let the magic circuit recover by yourself, it is impossible to drink medicine!The blond alchemist cautiously pressed the steering button of the wheelchair, planning to run away on the spot at any time.

Tony Stark raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and swiped in the air, and the ark reaction furnace inlaid on the outside of the wheelchair suddenly dimmed.

"Al, adults don't react so much to such trivial things as taking medicine."

He spoke in a somewhat teasing tone.

"...You said it lightly!"

Alphonse was furious: "You have an air filter in your own mask!"

Tony Stark: "..."

If it wasn't for the seriousness of the scene and the potion that was bubbling and bubbling in his hand, he really wanted to laugh now.

The guy who thought he was omnipotent and unfettered, now refuses in front of a pot of soup. Such a fresh expression made Tony Stark very interesting.

"So, it is impossible for an adult to be defeated in front of a bowl of medicine... I remember that many countries still retain the inheritance of using herbal medicine to treat diseases, and your current situation is an official diagnosis issued by a doctor, which can make that Stein There are not many opportunities for Dr. Lankey to see a doctor in person."

Tony suppressed a smile: "Your current situation cannot be cured by a single injection of antibiotics."

"You don't even know what you're holding in your hands!"

Alphonse guessed that Tony must have put on a full-body battle suit when he first started brewing medicine: "Isn't the work in the temple busy enough for him? Where did Strange learn this skill!"

"He's a doctor."

After stopping the wheelchair, in order to prevent the jeweler from desperately using space teleportation and other means to escape, Tony Stark quickly blocked the opponent's retreat: "It is always no problem to follow the doctor's advice, and this medicine is not for you. It's as scary as I imagined, even though I was indeed wearing an air filter device to make medicine, but it's not impossible to lift up the visor..."

As he spoke, he raised the protective mask of the steel suit, and then retched under the eyes of everyone.

Alphonse: "...Look."

Pepper: "..."

Banner: "..."

Tony Stark insisted: "I don't care, you have to drink anyway."

The author has something to say: The last S.H.I.E.L.D. kitchen accident was someone heating durians in the microwave.

In the end, Clint was chased and beaten by Natasha.
