[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

For a magician, consuming flesh, energy and soul, depleting vitality, and using all available means to grab magic power is already an instinctive approach.This world has never been easy for human beings. Unlike most of the fantasy species who have lived in seclusion in the world and the gods who no longer visit the world, the road for human beings to obtain magic power is much more difficult.

The circuit dug out of the body forcibly, passed down from generation to generation may bring a load of imprints.

Abnormal values ​​at all costs will sadly wish for a long time to be passed down from generation to generation.

If he was born in a family of ordinary people, perhaps Alta could also spend an ordinary and happy childhood, and even his whole life.

Tony Stark stared at the train conductor and auctioneer in front of him, considering his tone, it seemed that he had used all his strength to keep his voice calm.

"I mean... If, I mean, if, there is any way to replace the magic eye to generate such a huge amount of magic power, in this way, can it replace this kind of power-grabbing that is extremely backward in productivity and sounds inhumane? Way?"

he asked.

The other party frowned, his expression obviously didn't know much about Tony Stark.

This person used to be an arms dealer, and later Qian Kun sold all the pillar industries of his company with a big gamble. If it is said in the lace news, the other party is probably a well-known playboy.Most of them have heard the name of Iron Man, but that is news that is too far away from the mysterious world. Science and technology can indeed make great progress in many cases, but magicians with magic circuits have nothing to do with mystery Those who are divided are two completely different types. No matter how clever the other party's methods are, they obviously cannot be applied to this magic eye collection train.

"If you are talking about electricity, if you want to maintain the majestic supply of magic power of this train, and then calculate the consumption of converting magic power from electrical energy, the power consumption required is enough to squeeze out several power stations. There is no portable equipment at all. means to power the train."

Leondra was disdainful: "Magic power is the most elusive power in this world. You humans without magic circuits can't even touch and capture it, let alone use it. The mutual conversion of energy is indeed It is a topic worthy of discussion. Regarding this point, Mr. Alphonse, who can be counted as the ore department (Kishia) by your side, may have a more common language, but unfortunately, it is often only from magic to magic. An example of general-purpose energy, and a means of saving magic power in the opposite direction, has never seen a practical case so far.”

The other party covered his eyes and couldn't see his expression, but his voice was full of inexplicable compassion: "Spells that even the gods a thousand years ago have never used, how can you, a mortal without magic power..."

"Don't say that, ma'am."

Tony Stark finally found his familiar field, and raised his eyebrows at Leondra and Rodan: "Although the products of Stark Industries are not cheap, at least they are cheaper than the magic eye." , since there are efficient and easy-to-use clean energy not to be used, why must mass-produced magic eyes be wasted?"

He took out a spare Ark reactor from the space pocket that Strange had prepared in advance: "It's the same model as the one I use, and it has been improved several times, although I can't say that I am complacent. It must be enough to drive this magical train, but I think it is still worth trying."

Rodin and Leondra stared at the triangular light-emitting device in Stark's hands, the Ark reactor, and the technological crystallization of the science side. They could be sure that the other party's attitude was indeed not a lie, but they were selling the science side to the magician. Product, this is just too ridiculous and too deviant.

"Perhaps it is indeed miraculous."

However, Leondra decided to refuse: "Maybe, your technical level is indeed the best in the world on the scientific side, but unfortunately, we cannot use your product. The barrier between science and mystery is thicker than you think There are many more, and this Rail Zeppelin inherits ancient mysteries, it may be difficult to change its workshop nature to accommodate new power."

Tony Stark smiled knowingly at this reaction, the other party's rejection at the beginning was a matter of course, and then he made a move that made everyone - including Alphonse - A startling move.

"Of course, to sell your company's products to others, you need to show some core competitiveness... To be honest, I do rarely do business with magicians, but 'rarely' does not mean that there is no one at all. Mr. El-Melloi II, Mr. Strange and Al have a cooperative project, and through this, I have a part of the most basic understanding of mystic knowledge."

He showed Iron Man's signature smile, as confident as ever.

"Probably according to what you said... there is a degree of opening, after all, I only studied for a short period of time."

It is still a very hate-inducing statement, making everyone frown.

Regardless of everyone's reaction, Tony Stark stretched out his hand and took out a complex structure made of metal splicing and shaped like a regular icosahedron from the space pocket, and then assembled the Ark reactor into it.In the next second, the entire structure, which was less than the size of a football, was completely lit up, radiating familiar energy fluctuations outward.

magic.

Alphonse, who had been planning to watch from the sidelines, finally showed a shocked expression.

It is as pure as the power drawn from the veins of the earth, without any tendencies or curses, and continues to radiate a constant, gentle and stable magic power outward.

It's like a whole new stream.

"This--"

Rodin's train conductor opened his eyes wide in surprise. This is indeed a perfect transformation between nuclear energy and magic power. It is a feat that no one has ever achieved so far, and it is also a concept that they have never imagined.

"A portable energy conversion device. I have been working on this all night long in the past few days except for their projects. Although the current one is just a prototype (Prototype), if you have any needs, I will An improved version will be made soon. After all, I have no way to perceive and detect magic power, and I don’t know whether the output strength is the standard you need. Counting the debugging time, if it goes well... it will take about two weeks. Three weeks."

Crowd:! ! !

Alphonse didn't know what to say.

Tony Stark had indeed disappeared from the public for a while, but he never thought that while the other party was researching the Extremis virus, he was still doing it secretly.

He obviously enjoyed the astonished expression from the magician, touched the bridge of his nose and added: "According to what you say... what should this be called? A product of alchemy, or a magic dress? I haven't even had time to name it yet." Woolen cloth."

Everything that followed became logical.

Tony Stark has obviously been used to such product demonstrations for a long time. He has demonstrated the excellent quality of weapons produced by Stark Industries in many countries. After completely shutting down the arms research and development department and switching to clean energy, there is no I seldom participate in product announcement conferences, but now I can introduce my new inventions in front of Rodin and Leondra with ease and ease.

You see, in any field, in any world, Tony Stark can be just as good.

It doesn't matter whether this person has the favor of magic power or not.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't have the favor of magic power, he only needs to be favored by an alchemist who has magic power.

Tony Stark successfully handed over a business card to the two, suggesting that if they have business cooperation, they can contact Ms. Pepper Potts after the auction. The headquarters of Stark Industries is in the most conspicuous place in New York. You mustn't be mistaken for that building—of course, part of that building is now given to the Avengers, but anyway, it's not wrong to come to me there.

……

At the very beginning, the demon Crowley once wrote a report to hell. When Tony Stark, a human being, understood the magnitude and danger of the mysterious world, when he realized that what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg, and what he wanted It is impossible to have a magician's circuit in his life. After all actions are useless, he will only deliver his soul to him. In this way, we will control the world's most powerful, wise and dangerous Humanity.

He can be the hero who guards the human world, or he can be the bomb that destroys the entire world.As long as he knows that there are roots in this world that he can't reach in his entire life, as long as he understands that the world is facing countless crises, and as a hero, he can only watch them happen, all of this is enough to transform an original The hero is completely mad, throwing himself into the arms of hell and abyss.

If you can't save the world you want to save, you can't save the people you want to save. This pain will definitely drive any human being to madness.And this madness will lead them to seek power, no matter the cost.

This is true of the Dark Dimension, so is Dormammu, and so can Hell.

The demon who has been floating in the world for a long time is obviously deeply silent about this, and wrote several pages of content eloquently, provoking words and lashing out at Fang Qiu, as if hell is just around the corner to take over the world.

And among the rebuttals Aziraphale provided to Heaven, there were only a few words—of course, this may also be because Crowley, who was in charge of ghostwriting, himself was not willing to help Heaven speak well.

By accident, as one of the protagonists mentioned in the report, that report has never been read by Alphonse so far.

"He will be saved."

With an exaggerated expression about to vomit, Crowley wrote line after line of handwriting on the parchment scroll with an angel feather quill, skillfully imitating Aziraphale's unique cursive script: "Because I want to The power born from saving others will become his new anchor, allowing him to face the abyss and never fall. Even if he does not have magic power, Anthony Edward Stark will definitely find his own way, and he will save that person , and also obtain salvation from the other party.”

Tsk, angels love this disgusting tune.

The feather brush wrote down the handwriting, and the snake pupils under the sunglasses narrowed slightly.

On the third day, after a series of small twists and turns, the auction was held as scheduled.

Most of the magic eyes were really not suitable for Thor. Loki, who looked like a black cat, squatted on the table in front of Alphonse, shaking his head at every pair of magic eyes participating in the auction.

Even if the gold-level demonic eyes are considered a rare and rare species, even if they have all kinds of rare abilities, Loki's gaze cannot stay on them for even a second longer.

It does seem weird to have a cat pick the goods, but in just three days, Loki successfully carried forward the already declining Nordic mythology in the world of occultism, and successfully got several people to sign He has signed a contract of prostitution for generations to believe in the God of Conspiracy—after all, as long as the magic circuit is still passed on from generation to generation, the promise of belief will not be interrupted. up.

"Hey, Bambi, I think that eye just now is really good. If I can have a magic circuit, I can't wait to take a picture of it and put it on myself."

Tony Stark pointed to the pair of magic eyes that were photographed away: "The magic eyes of strong luck, every 72 hours of operation, you can have a chance to give yourself different levels of good luck. It sounds like that. Yes, and I guess your brother doesn't think his good fortune is too much to add to it."

Loki shook his head, dismissively: "How can the gods of Asgard stick to such things!"

What strange expectations do you have for your brother? Tony rolled his eyes. He can guarantee that Saul will like those eyes very much.

Then the burning magic eye was also ignored by Loki. The God of Thunder does not need these inexplicable additional attributes, which will interfere with the purity of his own divine power, even though Thor, an idiot, can't use a single spell , but the divine power of the gods is essentially the metamorphosis of magical power, and Thor's lightning is also an external manifestation of the magical power released directly through the divine core.

Loki flicked his tail, sat on the table and remained motionless.

Just when Tony felt that this guy might just stay here and not buy anything until the end of the auction, Leondra took out a new transparent culture jar containing magic eyes: "The next step is to auction the Renault family The magic eye, single, is made of Phosphophylite, and is defined as the 'connected magic eye'."

There was an uproar among the crowd.

Phosphophyllite is really a gem material that is not easy to use.Monoclinic crystal system, belonging to a certain type of hydrated zinc phosphate, with a hardness between 3 and 3.5, and most gemstones can be scratched on it.

And using such materials as the foundation of magic is also difficult to use in terms of the nature of mysticism.Ruby can be used as a device for sustaining magic power and healing injuries. It can also be used as a material for creating burning magic eyes after magic eyes. Iolite has been used to make the core of divination rods since ancient times, and is now widely used as a guide The magic eye, and the phosphophyllite... doesn't have such general-purpose properties.

Precious and rare but fragile materials, the transparent texture creates a green eye.

The pupil color is exactly the same as that of the God of Trickster himself.

"I'm going to buy this."

said the black cat.

The auctioneer was still introducing the characteristics of this eye, and everyone was taken aback when they heard that, and then Tony Stark raised his hand: "Just bid directly, I will bid."

"Add 300."

"Add 500."

"..."

This eye also had a few bids, but obviously not as enthusiastic as the previous few times.Tony Stark is confident enough that Loki just doesn't want his brother to get too good of an eye - Asgard's royal disputes or family problems have always been a bad debt that stretches back thousands of years .

But since Loki was the client, Sol also waved his hand and let his brother toss, as if he dared to put anything in his eye socket no matter what the other party bought.

So... well, anyway, compared to the other expensive eyes, this one didn't even take a lot of work-even if it also reached the precious gold level.

"Next, I need to improve it in some details to make it more suitable for Sol."

After a burst of green light, the black cat transformed into a human form, and took over the eye in public.The green eyes floated in the liquid, reminding him of the day he brought Mjölnir back as a child.

Confined by the mischief of the god of mischief, the war hammer forged from the core of a planet does not have a hammer handle as long as an ordinary weapon, but has a somewhat embarrassing short handle. This defect as a weapon is obviously fatal, but His golden brother still used this magic weapon for hundreds of years.

—it has obvious shortcomings, like the one who brought it back.Hundreds of years are enough for Mjolnir to become a famous weapon and deterrent throughout the Nine Realms, and it is also enough for the young crown princes to fight each other and turn against each other.

The only function of the connected magic eye is to establish a stable and firm channel, which is indestructible and inseparable.

The author has something to say: It doesn't matter if you don't get the favor of magic power, as long as you get the favor of an anonymous alchemist.
