[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

USA, Hawaii.

Hawaii has always been a world-famous resort, but before that, what Alphonse knew most about this place was the well-known Mauna Kea Observatory - thanks to the blessing of an unnamed silver-haired magician, in Chaldea Before the official start of operations, this place has always been one of the strongholds of the Astronomy Department.

As for the range that tourists can experience... In Alphonse's impression, this is a magical place where one can learn everything.

I don’t know if it is blessed by the leylines... In short, for details, please refer to a well-known Far East comic, where you can even learn rare skills such as rock climbing, driving, yachting, shooting with guns, and flying a plane.

According to the content of the cartoon, the scope of this study includes flying the Boeing 747-400D with the skills of driving a small aircraft.

Of course, in addition to these too hardcore content, you can also choose to barbecue, surf, build sand sculptures on the beach and all entertainment activities that can be found on the beach.

Natasha is lying under a parasol in sunglasses, and Steve is playing beach volleyball with Peter Parker and Clint in a one-on-two match, and I have to say that even an organization like the Avengers needs a once in a while Team building, and Hawaii is the best place.

A small piece of beach was cleared, otherwise, the scene of a smash ball smashing into the sand would definitely be enough to hit the front page of the news.Two guys with far more physical qualities attacked each other at an inhuman speed. Under the dizzying sparring, Clint occasionally seized the opportunity to intervene in the spike, but was shocked by the high speed of the ball and his elbow hurt. .

——As an ordinary person without super powers and special physique, he feels particularly wronged.

Bruce Banner was wearing beach pants and piled up sand sculptures on the coast. It didn't take long for him to bury half of himself in the sand. The waves sparkled, and the tide pushed white foam to his feet.

Even the shop assistants followed, and even brought their new girlfriend along, not caring at all that the shop was left unattended—a few days ago, Crowley and Aziraphale suddenly occupied the shop and said that they would come to buy food It is said that both parties have been labeled as "too close to members of hostile organizations". After going through a lot of twists and turns, they have no fixed place to live, and urgently need a magic workshop with defensive techniques. settle.

As a result, the entire Mystery Section of S.H.I.E.L.D. has also been reorganized through this. In addition to the salary increase and promotion of many people, a small number of people have also been assigned to work in Chaldeas in the Antarctic. He's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

As for Alphonse... he is sitting in the driver's cab now, with his back straight, as if he is facing an enemy.

It’s true in the comics, you can really learn to fly a plane in Hawaii.Not only can you learn to fly a small plane, but you can also fly a jet-style Stark private jet.

It's just that this is too advanced for a person who has never even driven a car.

Generally speaking, it takes many sessions of ground teaching and simulated cockpit training to touch the real aircraft cockpit, but the mustache businessman obviously did not intend to follow the rules, and he happily drove away his private jet pilot. The officer pushed the alchemist's back, directly pressed him to the cockpit position, and even helped to fasten the seat belt.

He felt as if he had returned to the days when he was learning magic with Zellich, his eyes quickly scanned the dashboards in front of him, trying to remember their specific positions.Tony was sitting next to him in the co-pilot's seat, holding the magician's hand with a smile, and recognizing the names one by one.

"Here is the main flight control panel, where you need to focus most of the time... Then there is the top control panel, here is the flight console, next to it is the landing gear retraction handle, when taking off and landing This section needs to be used."

Every time he said something, Alphonse would imitate a name. These awkward terms were like a spell, but Tony obviously didn't give the other party a chance to continue thinking.

"Then when it comes to the part between our two seats, the most prominent thing is the engine throttle platform. You can push this thing forward when you take off."

Wait, how much and when?

Alphonse's head was full of question marks, but Tony Stark was obviously not a good teacher, and he had already started explaining to the next part: "The right side of the accelerator console is the control lever for the flap retraction actuator, and the left side is the spoiler By the way, this is generally used to slow down. Well... this kind of thing is different for every aircraft. For example, some models have ailerons or flaperons in addition to flaps. The specific differences between them It's the driveline inside the wing. Well, none of that matters, but if you're flying an airplane, you're going to be flying this one."

The curved glass directly in front is actually called the front windshield, and there are rudders and elevators on the tail to change the direction of the aircraft.

"Of course, cough."

Seeing that the other party was so nervous that he wanted to use his thinking block skills as an alchemist to learn, Tony Stark said: "You don't have to pay attention to every instrument... after the take-off is over, drive to a fixed position. It is very easy to fly in high-speed cruise mode. The automatic flight control system will solve most of the problems. After all, it is not a fighter that needs to pay attention to the surrounding situation anytime and anywhere. Generally, it is very easy to fly a plane as long as it is clear and there is no clear sky turbulence. thing."

——Compared to driving the Iron Suit.

But for someone who has never been exposed to this kind of stuff, this series of introductions is enough to make people lose their minds.It is the first time for a driver to be nervous while holding the steering wheel. Alphonse put his feet on the pedals and felt that he wanted to reach out and cast a local strengthening spell on the plane in front of him.

He wouldn't die on the spot because of a plane crash, after all, there are countless ways for a magician to escape, but... he doesn't really want to end up with a private jet falling on the first attempt.

At least to the extent of using gem magic to make the plane land successfully, Alphonse judged his garnet reserves in his mind, and felt that it would not be a big problem to put the entire plane into the gem.

"The pedals of an airplane are a bit different from those of a car. They can be pushed forward or stepped down. It may be a bit uncomfortable for the first time... No, you have never driven a car before."

Tony Stark touched the back of his head belatedly, reached out and lifted the communicator switch that communicated with the ground radar tower.

In fact, there are still a lot of details such as weather radar controllers and heading monitoring panels that have not been introduced, but the weather is fine today, and there are several steel suits that will open the way and lead the plane, let alone trigger firefighting. The alarm system, so the introduction of these parts was solemnly omitted by Tony Stark.

He unscrewed the starter handle on his own, and said to the position of the microphone: "This is Stark, the plane has finished driving, please taxi."

After finishing speaking, the other party signaled Alphonse with his eyes to make preparations as well.

"...This is Edelfelt, please taxi."

Alphonse said.

The control tower personnel were also very troubled, but since it was Stark, the problem was not too big, and Krypton Gold could indeed solve most of the problems: "Understood, you can slide out and wait outside runway [-]."

"Access to runway three requested."

This time, the voices of the two were almost in sync. Alphonse looked at the flight manual at hand from the corner of his eye. If it weren't for the ability of most alchemists to divide their thinking and speed up their thinking, he might really not be able to keep up with Tony S. Tucker's efficiency.

"Access to Runway [-], please use runway center line for preflight checks."

"—The take-off inspection is complete, request to take off."

The reverse thrust slightly presses the person on the seat, and the start of the engine brings a slightly vibrating touch.He obviously accelerated away from the ground under the leadership of this giant steel beast, but he couldn't feel the touch of the wind blowing across his cheeks.

The engine throttle thrust is maximum, the front wheel landing gear is retracted, the spoiler action is slightly adjusted, and the altitude indicator value is rising all the way.

Right in front of the field of vision, the ground is gradually receding.There is an arc visible to the naked eye on the horizon, and the plane passes through the stratus clouds, and then spurts out from the sea of ​​clouds.

The sun shines brighter than usual, and the scene of the sea of ​​clouds churning is undeniable.Alphonse can actually use magic to fly, and the space jump based on Visandi's magic is enough to allow him to come and go smoothly on the earth, but even so, flying the plane himself brings a completely different feeling.

Private jets are much larger and cumbersome than steel suits, and they have a larger turning radius and volume. This difference makes Alphonse feel more deeply—this is a great cause created by human beings.

Nothing to do with the mystic, nothing to do with the gods.This is a miracle created by human beings themselves, and the person who pushes the world forward step by step is sitting beside him at this moment.

Above an altitude of [-] meters, the plane entered a constant speed cruise state.The route design is very simple and rough, fly from Hawaii to New York non-stop and return from New York, or you can return the plane to the pilot in New York and then go back to Hawaii through the portal, whatever.

The field of vision was clear, and the clouds were slowly churning and churning below the plane.

The altitude of [-] meters is very suitable for saying something or doing something.

Alphonse began to be a little distracted. He once saw a magazine describing that the pilot could even cook noodles in the cockpit after the plane started cruising. Something is not quite right.

The gem dealer, who lacked experience in love, began to think about whether he should be the one to start the topic, and saw Tony Stark unbuckled his seat belt with horror on his face, stood up directly from the cockpit seat and walked around to Behind him, he tried to slump his chin on his shoulders.

...? !

Alphonse tried his best to use his peripheral vision to glance at the aviation manual that was spread wide, trying to confirm whether the pilot could leave his seat casually during the flight.

Even if you don't have to worry about crashing and dying...

Tony Stark even began to reach out to untie the other person's seat belt, and turned off the siren deftly - many parts of this plane have been modified by himself, and he doesn't know how to pass the airworthiness management regulations of.

"Don't look, this plane actually has artificial intelligence driving corrections, but I turned them off at the beginning."

He poked at the other side's cheek that wanted to watch the main flight control panel vigilantly, a little wanting to laugh, Alphonse always had such a serious look: "There is no messy reason related to the exchange of magic power this time Al , don't reject me at this time."

At an altitude of [-] meters, between the stratus clouds and the deep space.

The magical response of the earth veins began to become distant, but the sound of the heartbeat under the chest was very close.

Alphonse closed his eyes slightly, his golden lashes casting a small shadow on his cheek.

—they exchanged a kiss.

"So, haven't you figured out what gems to put on the ring?"

Tony Stark raised his eyebrows: "If you really can't decide, I think diamonds are very good-the defensive effect of your diamond shield is really amazing, and it's rare to see something that can block an RPG shot without a hair. "

Alphonse shook his collar, allowing the white robe of the magic dress to return to its proper appearance: "I've made up my mind, but I just haven't found the right opportunity to hand it over to you."

"God, I swear there's never been a better time."

The mustache businessman blinked: "I can't wait, my ring finger was born just for this time."

He simply stretched out his left hand and shook it at the other party, silently urging.

"..."

Alphonse stretched out his hand and swiped in front of him, a gap in space flashed by, and there were two more rings in his palm - a sea-colored gem, set in the center of the ring in the form of a Radiant cut .

Even if he doesn't have a deep understanding of jewelry, Tony has to sigh, it looks impeccable like that.

——Like the person who gave him this gem at this very moment.

"Tanzanite."

Before the other party asked, the jeweler explained in a low voice: "In Celtic culture, it can protect human consciousness and soul to eternity."

Heal pain, relieve stress, and love and eternity.Human beings endowed these ores with various meanings, and under the protection of the spells engraved into the gems, this is almost equivalent to an unbreakable oath.

For those without magical powers, the rituals of the occult mean nothing.

The act of putting a ring on the ring finger is essentially a redundant ritual derived from the development of human society.

Even the idea of ​​using diamonds to represent love originated from a century marketing planned by De Beers.

——It is the combined effect of dopamine and hormones, the wonderful illusion brought about by the electrochemical reaction of the brain, the drawbridge effect accumulated in countless dangers, or something else that can be proved and explained by theory.

But what does it matter?

The plane submerged into the sea of ​​clouds again, and the field of vision in front of it was chaotic white.

The altitude indicator reads all the way down, and the spoiler bends slightly downward.

When the cityscape emerges from the window, the groundscape unfolds slowly, as if returning to the world.
