California, ocean view villa.

Ed appeared out of thin air in the living room. He shook his head and picked up the magic book on the ground.

A long time has passed since the Battle of New York. In the past few months, Ed has started a new magic course.

That is the ancient magic text, taught by Professor Babuling who looks young and beautiful but always feels old-fashioned.

Ancient runes, also called ancient runes, are a very special type of writing, and each rune has multiple meanings.

What's more important is that once Ed writes it with magic, the same magical effect as the text will appear.

Using this effect, Ed can engrave ancient magic words on some items, turning the items into simple magic items.

Now that Christmas is approaching, Ed wants to make some protective magic items as gifts for those close to him.

Especially after the Battle of New York, Ed felt the deep danger in this world.

Many people died in the last disaster, and who can guarantee that they won't be the next one.

So, Ed came up with this idea.

Now, after several months of study, Ed has initially mastered some ancient magic texts and can start preparations.

With this in mind, Ed found the laboratory left by his mother and prepared to make it there.

Martha actually left a lot of things to Ed, including the carving knife used to carve ancient magic scripts and the materials to carry the magic scripts.

Entering the laboratory, it no longer looks like no one has been here for a long time, as it was when I first discovered it.

Ed often comes in and out of here, and there is potion residue at the bottom of the crucible in the middle that he forgot to clean up, which was left over from making the awakening potion.

The books around him were rearranged by Ed. When Ed first discovered this place, he couldn't understand a single word in these books.

After all this time, Ed's magic knowledge has made great progress and he can understand some of the content above.

But we are still a few years away from fully understanding it.

Ed sat in front of a table with carving knives and some materials, mostly a type of wood called willow.

Willow wood has good magic transmission and preservation capabilities, and is very suitable for making magic items.

There are some metal materials left, mainly for decoration.

Ed picked up a bracelet-like ring in his left hand, picked up a carving knife in his right hand, and started making it.

Soon, the first ancient magic text was engraved, and a mysterious and simple text appeared on the bracelet.

This ancient magic symbol symbolizes "protection" or "defense" and its effect is similar to Ed's magic "armor protection".

The main effect is that when the user is attacked, an invisible barrier pops up to protect the user.

But one magic text is not enough. Not only is it easy to lose magic power, but the defense is also low.

Ed will engrave a few more on the bracelet, and then use magic to draw a line to connect these ancient runes.

Making it a loop can effectively slow down the rate of magic loss and strengthen defense.

But in this case, it will take a lot of time and energy.

Ed sighed and thought helplessly, "Take your time."

………………

While Ed is trying to prepare Christmas presents, a fight breaks out between Tony and Pepper.

The reason was that Pepper thought Tony was spying on her, but in fact it was Happy who took the initiative to report it to Tony.

This is actually a misunderstanding, but the reason why the misunderstanding is a misunderstanding is that it has already happened.

Just when Pepper was about to leave angrily, Tony gave in and shouted loudly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Pepper."

"It was my fault. I've been very wrong recently."

Pepper heard these words and stopped. She turned and looked at Tony with confusion in her eyes.

Tony leaned on the table in front of him, his eyes showing exhaustion and pain.

"I can't sleep because I keep having the same dream."

"I dreamed about Ed running into that portal with a nuclear bomb."

"Then he never came back..." Tony's tone was filled with fear.

"I don't know any of this." Pepper said worriedly as she walked down the stairs.

"After New York, everything changed," Tony continued.

"Gods, aliens, and magic."

"And I'm just a person hiding in armor." Tony said uneasily

"The reason why I haven't collapsed now is because you are still with me."

"And Ed calls me dad every morning when he wakes up."

"After you guys fall asleep, I'll do my own thing."

"I'm knocking."

The pile of suits in Tony's studio shows that he is already overloaded with work.

Pepper walked up to Tony and gently touched his face with her hands, as if comforting a child.

Tony also closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment of peace.

Then Pepper pushed Tony into her arms and whispered, "I'm going to take a shower."

Tony cheered up and said, "Okay!"

Pepper walked towards the door and turned around halfway, "Do you want to come with us?"

Tony's eyes lit up "Better!"

………………

Soon, night will come.

Ed climbed out of the box tiredly. He had finished making all the gifts.

He was just waiting to be sent out tomorrow, which made him so tired that he just wanted to fall asleep.

Ed walked to his room. At this time, Pepper came from upstairs. She stepped hard on the stairs with a scared expression.

Ed saw this and went to greet him, "Pepper, what's the matter?"

Seeing that it was Ed, Pepper held her forehead and said with a headache.

"I don't know what to say, Ed, you should go see your dad."

"I'm tired."

Then he walked towards a room, Ed was very puzzled.

"Pepper?"

Ed scratched his head and walked up.

In the room, Tony covered his face with his hands, and parts of his suit were scattered on the floor.

Tony felt indescribably embarrassed.

Ed walked in "Dad?"

Tony looked up, his eyes were bloodshot, there were very obvious dark circles under his eyes, and his face was covered in sweat.

"Ed, did I wake you up?"

His voice was indescribably tired, and Ed frowned, "Dad, how long has it been since you had a good night's sleep."

Tony shook his head "I don't know."

Ed felt very uncomfortable and said, "Wait for me for a few minutes. I'll be back soon."

Ed walked out quickly, and soon came back with a bottle of magic potion in his hand.

This bottle of potion was called Dreamless Sleeping Potion. Ed walked up to Tony and handed it to Tony.

"Drink it."

Tony took the potion and asked, "What is this?"

"A potion that will give you a good night's sleep."

Tony looked at the potion in his hand, hesitated, and drank it in one gulp.

"Well, this potion seems..." Tony fell onto the bed before he could finish his words.

Ed was a little surprised when he saw this effect. He didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Hufu~, the sound of steady breathing came, it seemed that Tony was sleeping deeply.

Ed also breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at a pile of suit parts on the ground, a levitating spell.

The parts slowly floated up, and Ed quietly walked towards Tony's studio with these parts.

In the studio, Ed assembled Tony's suit piece by piece and placed it in an empty display cabinet.

Just as he was about to leave, a small suit caught his attention.

The suit lay quietly in the display cabinet. The main color was blue with some white accents.

But that's not important. What's important is a note on the display case that says.

"A Christmas present for Ed"
