[Comprehensive] Science and Magic

When she was so content to lick her fingers, she was stunned to find that Tony had devoured four of them, leaving only one donut alone in the big box.And the cup of milk that was despised as a kindergartner's drink also bottomed out.

Tony wiped his mouth roughly, and there was still a bit of milk and icing on his mustache, but he didn't notice it.He gave Laura a milky smile that made Laura laugh too.

Laura asked, "Doing research again so that you can't eat now?"

"I don't have a caring life assistant anymore." Tony blinked at Laura, and said with an aggrieved expression, "So I had to go out and buy something myself."

Laura was amused by his display.She relaxed on the sofa, tilting her head.

Tony leaned forward and asked with interest: "I heard that you met a real god in New Mexico?"

The smile disappeared from Laura's mouth.She hummed dryly.

"This answer is a bit different from what I expected." Tony pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that it's time for a heart-to-heart talk." He turned sideways to face Laura, with one hand propped on the sofa behind him, a pair of The gesture of wanting to have a good talk with Laura.

Laura looked at him curiously.

"You know what? You said earlier that I would use the things you helped me make against you. That's not true—it wasn't you I wanted to deal with. Your appearance made me realize for the first time that there are special wizards like wizards." Human... of course, since you have saved me, um, several times, I think you can be trusted. However, the existence of wizards as a group makes me feel uneasy..."

Tony gave a short laugh.His hand unconsciously stroked the back of the sofa, his eyes were empty, as if he was lost in his own thoughts.Laura was silent, and Tony continued after a while, "So, if you're uncomfortable with God's existence, there's nothing wrong with that."

After Tony finished speaking, he looked a little embarrassed.He looked left and right, fidgeting, as if ashamed of his rare emotional behavior.

Laura looked at him softly.The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and a pair of bright blue eyes looked at him intently.Her voice has never been so soft: "Thank you."

While I'm probably not disturbed by the presence of God, it's the fear of losing...

But thank you.

Tony, who received the encouragement, visibly regained his composure.He turned away, trying to say something more; but his eyes met Laura's.

The air was filled with the aroma of milk and donuts, and at this moment Laura felt that she might have eaten a little too much.All the blood goes to the stomach to help digest food, leaving less and less for the brain.She felt that her brain lacked oxygen, and her thoughts became more and more chaotic and fuzzy; but the face of the man with the mustache in front of her became clearer and clearer.

Laura looked into Tony's eyes.His own figure was reflected in those honey-like eyes.His face was getting closer and closer to her. Laura tried to avoid it, but her body seemed to be petrified; she seemed to be able to feel Tony's prickly mustache...

"Snapped!"

Laura's brain seemed to have been knocked hard.She regained her senses and found that the curtains of the living room had been pulled open at some point, probably when Tony was rummaging through them before; another piece of armor was floating outside the window, and Colonel Roddy waved at them through the window.

The author has something to say: Note ①: The swallowtail dog is a magical animal.It is a kind of dog bred by wizards. It is extremely loyal to wizards, but very cruel to No-Majs.The characteristic is to eat what you encounter, whether you are a goblin or an old tire.

Chapter 23

"Colonel Roddy?"

"Hey Laura. Good evening." Colonel Roddy couldn't stop smiling, and he greeted Tony loudly: "Tony, this thing is so cool."

Tony didn't look very happy.He muttered, "Now I regret letting you fly into the sky in armor."

"What?" Rody obviously didn't hear clearly, he stretched his head to look at Tony's armor on the sofa, and asked in confusion, "Tony, how did you get this big guy into the house..."

Laura raised her wand resignedly.

"Wow!" Rody exclaimed, "Wonderful magic!" He walked in through the enlarged window, and parked the armor in the corner of the living room.

"To be honest, I really don't want to come out of it." Rody was still standing next to the armor, looking at the armor reluctantly, as if looking at his lover.He said: "It's just fantastic. I named her, how do you guys say 'Iron Patriot'?"

Tony commented bluntly: "It's a disaster."

"No way? Coulson praised the name very much, and he also suggested that I paint the armor the color of the Stars and Stripes..."

"That's really enough, don't make me take her back, man," Tony said with a toothache.

Colonel Roddy got closer to the armor, looking defensive.He conceded, "Okay then. What about the name 'War Machine'?"

"much better."

"That's called 'War Machine'." Rody patted War Machine's shoulder affectionately, and his eyes were finally willing to look elsewhere.He saw the donuts left on the coffee table and said happily, "Donuts! I'm just hungry."

"No, not for you." Tony immediately reached out and squeezed the last donut into his hand, and took a hard bite.

"What?" Roddy looked at Laura, then at Tony.He finally realized something was wrong, hesitantly said: "Did I come by accident..."

"Yes." Tony said without hesitation.

"No." Laura immediately denied it. She smiled and said, "Please sit down. I'll get you something to eat. Maybe you want some milk cornflakes?"

"Okay, thanks." Roddy sat next to Tony, which made Tony sigh loudly.He still looked out of the situation, and continued chattering: "Mark's armor is really well-deserved. I can't believe that when you asked me to do this project together, I actually turned you down! Regret, I'm so sorry. I regret it. I could have witnessed the birth of War Machine..."

Laura stood in the kitchen preparing cornflakes for Roddy.She poured the milk absent-mindedly, almost spilling it on the floor.

Merlin's suspender stockings!She almost kissed Tony just now!Is this normal? !

This is absolutely not normal.

Her brain must have been corrupted by donuts.

Damn sweets!

Laura never denied her admiration for Tony Stark.This man without a trace of magical power used his own wisdom to create something as miraculous as magic.And it was the appearance of Iron Man that made Laura think about whether her identity as a wizard could do more for the world besides hiding in the crowd.

Although Tony is not a good friend candidate in the traditional sense, it is hard for Laura not to be attracted by the light radiating from him.Not to mention his smart brain, which is one of the best in the world, he can obviously lie on the top of Stark Industries and be his rich man leisurely; but he chooses to stand up and shoulder the responsibilities that obviously do not belong to him.These shining advantages can completely make people ignore a series of his character flaws: textbook-like narcissism, self-destructive tendencies, seven or eight out of ten sentences can make people want to beat him...

But fall in love with Tony Stark!

Must be crazy.

What's more, who doesn't know Tony's attitude towards women emotionally?

Laura served Colonel Roddy cornflakes with milk and handed Tony a bottle of Guarana.

"Thank you," said Colonel Roddy.He still looks very excited, and the war machine is obviously more adrenaline-fueled than sports cars and beauties.

"Didn't you order any drinks other than milk and juice?" Tony pouted.

"No," Laura replied.She sat down on another small sofa.

Tony stared at Roddy who was eating with resentment.Roddy glanced at him suspiciously, then lowered his head and continued to suck on cornflakes.The whole living room could only hear the sound of Roddy gobbling for a while.

"Did you go out for a circle together in the middle of the night?" Laura asked casually.

"Well, Tony helped me install something on the war machine tonight." Colonel Roddy seemed to be very excited when this topic was mentioned, and he said, "Fortunately, Tony is willing to provide me with some gadgets... Otherwise, I will Going to equip War Machine with Hammer Industries weapons."

Tony took a sip of the soda, wrinkled his nose and said, "I really don't understand why you still like clowns like Hammer."

"Otherwise, what can we do? Stark Industries no longer produces weapons." Roddy raised his head and finished the last two mouthfuls of milk cornflakes, and continued, "Is he still bothering you?"

"To be precise, I was annoying Pep. Now Pep is in charge of Stark Industries' affairs." Tony said, "Hammer has always wanted to get a booth at Stark Expo." Tony snorted coldly, "As far as his technology is concerned, it is simply wishful thinking. In addition, let me recommend Musk Industries to you. Elon is still a sensible person."

They did not continue on the subject.Tony has always been reluctant to mention Justin Hammer's name. It can be said that Hammer is one of the few people who can make Tony directly express his disgust.And there's probably the Senator Stan who chaired the Iron Man hearing.

Laura turned on the TV.It was almost early morning, and the TV programs were basically over, only the news channel was still rebroadcasting the news of the day.

Suddenly a piece of news caught their attention.

"Recently, Michigan, Wisconsin
