[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

At night, the Edelfelt Jewelry Store was closed.

The clerk closed the store door, turned over the "opening" on the door plate, and watered the spider plants at the door before leaving. After a series of procedures, when he turned around, he saw a golden-red steel suit standing at the door. far away.

"Mr. Stark? The store manager is making gems in the workshop, and it will take some time before they come out."

He is not completely unaware of Tony Stark's public pursuit of Alphonse in the Avengers.After all, there is a special discussion post on the S.H.I.E.L.D. intranet, dedicated to discussing the emotional status of an unnamed technical consultant and mysticism consultant.It's just that the shop assistant's own mentality is very complicated-although it is not enough to say that "cabbage has been raped by pigs", but he does realize that it seems that only in front of this person, his shop manager does not need to be a boss. A Bathmelo or Edelfelt.

"If you are in a hurry, you can sit here and wait."

Finally, he said slowly: "I just got off work... Would you like some tea? I'll get you a cup."

"No, I'll just wait here."

Tony said in a deep voice, his voice changed from the usual low.

He waited in the dimly lit store for nearly an hour, during which he flicked his phone boredly, but couldn't read any news.The magic eye, the future of human beings, Fairy Township and Animsfia and other information were mixed in his mind, which made him unable to calm down at all.

How many years has he been alone like this?He thought, Alphonse was still a teenager when he came back from Fairy Town, and then he learned the second method from Kishua Zellich Schubinaug, and became the famous gem lord of the clock tower for several years, and then I got to know Maris Billy Animsfia... counting it all, the other party probably didn't stop for a moment to rest.

What kind of twists and turns did this side open a jewelry store in Brooklyn?What kind of trade-offs and considerations are there in this?

The workshop door opened with a creak, and Alphonse was holding three or four gemstones whose magical light had not yet faded, and was surprised to find that there was still one person sitting in his shop.

"...Tony?"

He should be in his lab at this time...

As a result, before he could react, the other party stood up abruptly, so violently that he overturned the armchair.

"What are you, uh-"

The blond alchemist didn't have time to say the rest.He got a silent hug. The other person didn't seem to want to say anything, and his chin was close to his shoulder blade. The distance between the two was so close that Stark could directly feel the steady heartbeat in the other's thin chest. .

Alphonse was stunned for a while, and finally stretched out his hands tentatively to wrap his arms around the opponent's back.

"Did something happen in the experiment?"

He said softly: "Or, what difficulties did you encounter... There are no traces of being cursed on your body, do you need me to check it for you in detail?"

"No, Al, I just...wanted to meet you."

From behind the ear temple came the other party's suppressed voice: "There is no other reason, you don't have to worry about it."

How many years has he been on this road?

Anthony Edward Stark, who was able to make circuit boards at the age of four, created the first engine in his life at the age of six, studied at the Department of Electronic Engineering at MIT at the age of 15 and graduated two years later, and succeeded the CEO of Stark Industries at the age of 21. .Ever since I can remember, it can be said that I have been living in the loneliness of a genius.

He almost thought that such solitude was the prerogative of genius.

But there is another person in this world who fell into the world of goblins when he was young, and returned from the inhuman world with scars and broken souls, and exchanged everything for chips, even with himself. No expense was spared in delivering both life and soul.

"There is no sign of a curse, and the response of the soul is very complete. There has been no movement in the earth veins recently..."

The alchemist in his arms ruled out possible problems one after another in a dazed tone, and asked speculatively, "You failed to get the ticket? If this is the case, I can contact you Cermelo's family, Lorelai will definitely not refuse me for such a small matter..."

"—no, nothing. Everything is going well on my side."

The outer protective cover of the Ark reactor knocked against the three jewel buttons on the opponent's chest, making a fine friction sound.You see, now we all have engravings carved into either our bodies or our souls—whether it's the constant blue glow of Cherenkov radiation, or the stars that light up the sky with magic.

"I just wanted to see you."

Iron Man came in a hurry and left inexplicably.After finishing speaking, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, the other party closed the shop door and fled. It wasn't until the shop was quiet again that a small black ball on the eaves suddenly lit up green eyes: "He lied."

Alphonse looked at Loki who was dozing on the top of the cabinet, but said nothing.This guy's changed cat is pure black, and it is almost too dark to see the three-dimensional effect when it stays in the shadows. In order to prevent being stepped on by inexplicable passers-by, Loki usually chooses to stay in places that are not easily noticed by others.

"In the face of the god of trickery, no one can lie."

The black cat stretched triumphantly: "Sol will probably receive the news tomorrow... You can contact your organization. By the way, do you want to ask me what is going on in my tin can head? What? I'll tell you if you ask me."

"..."

Al looked at Loki squatting on the top of the cabinet for a while, and the other party was obviously very accustomed to switching from human form to animal form, without the slightest grudge or inconvenience: "Don't ask."

"Tsk, boring."

The next day, the Avengers Tower.

As Rocky expected, early in the morning, the lawn in front of the Alliance Gate was bombarded with scorched black marks by the Rainbow Bridge.Saul Odinson, wearing a black blindfold casually over one eye, swung his Myrmir straight through the window and yelled, "Loki—"

"Excuse me, the cost of lawn maintenance and the cost of glass repairs will skyrocket if you do this."

Tony Stark spoke with an exaggerated tone: "Mr. Brash Point."

"Oh, Man of Steel."

Thor nodded to Tony Stark and looked around in the hall after finishing his greeting: "Where is Loki? Your alchemist here said he is in the atrium now..."

His eyes turned around in the hall, locked on a snake entangled in a flower pot, and his expression suddenly brightened: "I'm so glad to see you again, brother, I thought you were going to wander in the universe for a long time, Mother has always missed you, it would be great if I could go back to Asgard..."

Wait, why are there snakes here?

The eyes of Bruce, Natasha Clint and Captain America all focused on the flower pot. Is this Loki transformed?Sol seems to have said before that his brother turned into a snake to fool him...

"Hey, wait, this looks like a tiger rattlesnake, one of the most poisonous snakes in the United States."

Natasha felt that this was very strange: "Your brother's transformation technique is so precise?"

"His transfiguration has always been superb, and no one in Asgard has better spells than him."

Saul Odinson took this sentence as a compliment, and cheerfully grabbed the little snake, which was not half as long as an arm, from the flower pot: "Look, even the heroes in the atrium I was deceived by you, now quickly change back."

The rattlesnake shook its tail and bit Thor hard.The other party almost fell to the ground in response, and the bitten wound began to swell and turn purple. Natasha jumped up from the sofa in a stride, touched the rope casually, and was about to tie Sol's arm tightly to prevent blood circulation: "So, It's really a rattlesnake..."

The son of Odin fell down with an unbelievable expression. At this moment, Alphonse pushed the door and entered with a black cat squatting on his shoulder. Looking at the messy crowd, he said strangely: "What's wrong... What's the matter?"

The black cat lightly jumped off the jeweler's body, landed on the ground silently, and changed into an adult form again: "800 years have passed, and it seems that you still haven't made any progress. Snake coming."

A piece of news selected by the smart butler popped up on Tony's mobile phone at the right time: a tabby rattlesnake was lost at the New York City Zoo. If anyone finds it, please call the police immediately.

Tony:  …

Loki leaned down condescendingly, the golden horned helmet projected a curved silhouette on the ground, he stared at his embarrassed brother, showing a little disdainful expression: "Look, the golden son of Odin is not only blind One eye, now you can't even tell the snake from his own brother, maybe there is something wrong with your inheritance with Odin that caused your eyes to grow on the top of your head, or the connection outside the blood is just like that unreliable."

"...Don't be so mean to Loki, you are obviously an Odinson yourself."

Sol, who fell to the ground, wiped his forehead with his other intact hand and smiled: "I'm so glad to see you again."

"So, shouldn't you send Saul to rescue him now? If you are bitten by a tiger rattlesnake, you may die if you don't rescue him in time."

Clint couldn't help complaining, why this guy looks so happy now, the way the brothers get along is really puzzling.

"He can't die, that bit of snake venom will be eliminated soon with his own anti-magic power and recovery speed."

Loki rolled his eyes fiercely at everyone: "Odinson...that's the kind of brute force that people hate the most."

Although he disliked his cheap brother in every possible way, Loki still stretched out his hand and pulled Sol up viciously: "You idiot, you blinded yourself in the last battle."

"Scars are the symbols of warriors. One day we will fight to protect the peace of the Nine Realms, no matter you or me."

Saul saw it very openly, he looked very funny with half of his swollen arm: "And you won't let me lose the other eye, will you?"

"Go away, you bastard! It's better to be poisoned to death! After you die, the throne will be mine!"

Ever since the brother and friend Christine's mask was completely torn off, Loki's attitude towards Sol took a sharp turn, and he didn't even bother to maintain the friendliness on the surface.However, the nervous Saul blamed it on the family conflicts caused by his younger brother's sudden discovery of his adopted status. After consulting Frigg, he decided to build an opera house in Asgard first. These interests are strong, but Asgard is still martial, and there are not many young fighters who support this hobby.

Even if he intends to wander in the universe for hundreds of years, he always wants to go home, right?

Unexpectedly, the foundation of the opera house promised by empty words has just been laid, and the dark elves, who are unwilling to be lonely, call over, and everything that follows is needless to say, the one-eyed son of Odin is sitting on Stark's sofa, drinking cold beer happily , three times the body density of human beings, the sofa sits out of a pit that is obviously different from other people.

Loki changed back into the appearance of a black cat, apparently ignoring his overly enthusiastic brother, and leaned back on Alphonse's shoulders, leaving everyone with a back view.

Tony:  …

He suddenly wanted to take this brat down...According to Sol, the other party was about five hundred years younger than him, and when converted to human age, he had just reached adulthood. Excuse me.

In fact, the result of the conversion at the beginning was underage - the average lifespan of Asa God is more than 20 years old, and it can be extended further according to the amount of divine power. Divide [-] by [-] and multiply the average life span of human beings to calculate the result How is not under [-] years old.

So Tony calmly moved the butter beer in front of Rocky away: children can't drink this, you pour milk for him.Originally, the scene of the cat drinking beer was a bit strange, but after confirming his identity as a minor, he was happy to make a joke.

Loki: "..."

The black cat man stood up and slapped his tail on the table: "It's not like you stupid ants have never seen what I look like! Do you believe what this fool Saul says? God's age That's not how it is calculated!"

With a puff, Natasha laughed out loud.

After sending the innocent rattlesnake back to the zoo, in order to prevent the violent evil god from directly causing a murder in the Avengers Building, Sol still temporarily lives in the Avengers Building, following the US team and Natasha on missions to play Residual heat; Loki and Alphonse and Tony Stark start to prepare for the journey of the magic eye collection train-though honestly, they don't have anything special to prepare besides cash.

Except for the short-lived emotional loss that night, Tony Stark seemed to have returned to his original appearance, and even began to tease the strange aesthetics of Loki's big horn helmet: "You don't feel uncomfortable wearing such an unstable thing on your head. Is your neck sore?"

"How can God be as weak as you people in the courtyard! And just like Alphonse's clothes, the dress on me has adjustment spells in it."

The other party rolled his eyes, and his paws and half of his body drooped on Alphonse's body. He flicked his tail triumphantly and glanced at Tony Stark: The god of tricks can always see through lies, and he knows what to do to make the other party most annoyed.

The other party's eyes widened as expected, but after meeting the gem dealer's somewhat puzzled gaze, he shrunk his neck indignantly: It really is an evil god!This guy is full of bad water!

The author has something to say: Black cats are sometimes so black that they can't see the three-dimensional effect, and can only see two eyes.

After being stepped on once by a stupid human (referring to the clerk), Loki decided to squat high where mortals can't reach.
