[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

First of all, to show that the military strength on land is not as weak as imagined, to create the possibility of communication, and then let Aum fill garbage with garnets to frighten the coastal countries on land.

Second, reveal the existence of Atlantis in a small area, and concentrate on solving the problem of environmental pollution—as far as possible, sincerely, and step by step.

In the end, use a few tickets to the concert to cover the mouths of the relevant people - of course not only Tony Stark himself, but more importantly, let the SHIELD officials also know the specific situation of Atlantis .

Alphonse looked at his phone, and as expected, Nick Fury sent a message, euphemistically asking if he could bring others to visit the Siren concert in Atlantis.

Although they are not linked together, as a businessman, Alphonse feels that the business in this circle is doing pretty well.

The olive branch has already been stretched out, and there is no intention of taking it back.Alphonse readily agreed that apart from himself and Stark, the original note left by Orm could bring one more person—including the driver, there are four submersible vehicles in Atlantis seat.

"I hope you don't pick a dork down."

Aum was a little resentful about these "compromises": "The residents of Atlantis don't have a good impression of the land people. It is their lifetime honor to give them the opportunity to visit Atlantis!"

"Of course, let's talk about any other requirements."

Alphonse looked very generous: "I will try my best to choose people according to your standards, and I will definitely not offend the king of Atlantis."

"...The King of the Seven Seas is now my brother."

Aum rolled his eyes: "Damn the primogeniture system, that bastard doesn't have any strategy for governing the country in his head, and he refuses to study hard even if he is given tutoring."

The alchemist was noncommittal about these complaints. In fact, the other party complained about his "damn brother" many times, and the words were full of Atlantean style, from "he's just a stupid little cod" to " This stupid big guy is like a brainless geoduck." Alphonse listened to it for a long time, but in the end he didn't remind Aum that I couldn't get these descriptions.

——But when asked "Would you like to buy some lethal and cursed gems", Orm refused.On the side of mystery, everyone knows that the gem merchant Alphonse learned from the second magician Zellich, and his gem magic is exquisite, and he never sells defective products.

Although it should be damned, it should be pulled to fill the Mariana Trench, it should be thrown into a submarine volcano to make grilled fish, and it should be sent to the frontier to pick up garbage thrown by land people for a lifetime... The king of the seven seas, the orthodox of Atlantis Arthur, the heir to the throne, is also in charge of his position now, and is committed to throwing the blame on his brother.

But this is not his fault, after all, he has never learned any way of governing the country in the first 20 years of his life. Most of the time, apart from practicing fighting skills, he just grew up in an ordinary way like an ordinary land child.

So after a battle for the throne that was said to be extremely fierce, Aum was in charge of the big and small matters in the sea, even though the other party was very dissatisfied with the result.

"Al, it's rare to come to land, take me to drink. Beer, vodka, wine, what else... try them all together."

Aum, who relaxed a lot after talking about the business, said: "The money will be included in the account of the next time I buy gems from you, and I will pay with pearls. The red coral you wanted before is also available. A few days ago, my subordinates paid tribute to one Not bad."

"Why do you suddenly want to drink?"

Alphonse listened to the long list of names reported by the other party, and it seemed that he had done his homework in advance: "There are a lot of land delicacies, you can try it bit by bit, if the digestive system of the Atlanteans is as good as the land If people are of the same system.”

"Don't worry about it so much, it's all about wine!"

His Excellency the prince of Atlantis is extremely unreasonable: "Let me try the most commendable thing on your land!"

No, there are many things to see on land, but alcohol is definitely not the number one.Alphonse complained silently in his heart. It is said that His Majesty the King who grew up on land in Atlantis is a good hand.

However, some things don't need to be explained too thoroughly, and everything should be reserved for business.Without hesitation, he sent his clerk out to buy all kinds of bottled wine, which were lined up in front of Aum, and there was even a bottle of highly distilled liquor among them.

Aum opened the first bottle and poured himself a wine cup, frowned, took a sip, and commented: "I feel like my tongue was stung by a jellyfish."

Alphonse: "...I don't really understand this experience very well."

He quickly drank the small wine cup in front of him in small sips, and turned his attention to the bubbling golden beer: "This one, it looks like a squid that has been chewed and has suckers and tentacles and keeps spitting out ink."

Alphonse: "..."

Orm took a sip of vodka next: "Wow, this time it's a little different. It feels like I have a mouthful of the venom of the scutellaria sea anemone in my mouth."

……

After half an hour.

The Prince of Atlantis hiccupped, lying on the table with red eyes, his nose fluttered and he breathed evenly.When the clerk entered the room again to pack things—or perhaps to monitor the situation—then saw his store manager putting blankets on the customers to prevent them from catching cold while sleeping on their stomachs during the day.

Detective: "... shop manager, is the customer here to drink with you this time?"

His boss didn't seem to have drunk a drop, he wasn't drunk at all.

"Well, this is His Excellency Aum, the prince of Atlantis, who came to discuss with me about the issue of human beings throwing garbage into the sea."

Alphonse has already started tidying up the row of high and low glass bottles, so as not to leave a strong smell of alcohol in the whole workshop.

Shop clerk: "..."

He felt that he was still too young and did not have enough work experience.

The only clerk rolled his Adam's apple up and down with difficulty, as if he was the one who swallowed a big gulp of vodka: "...so you got him drunk?"

"How is that possible."

Alphonse scolded: "He wanted to drink it himself, but I didn't persuade him a word."

……

The all-out war between Atlantis and the surface will not start like this.

The clerk went back to writing the report apprehensively, spreading that anxiety from himself to all of his fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. staff on the project.When the report was submitted all the way to the boss, even Nick Fury couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Alchemists are truly unpredictable creatures.

Alphonse sneezes as he sits in the shop recharging the gem, wondering what kind of character Fury will assign him to go to Atlantis with him - not too obvious Snooping means that we must maintain an attitude of seeking peace together, and more importantly, we must not let these Atlanteans look down upon us.

The sun had already sunk halfway into the sea level, and Aum woke up on a small piece of sandy beach that S.H.I.E.L.D. had cleaned up and completely sealed off, holding a piece of tea-colored hangover candy in his hand.His cheap elder brother sat beside him with two legs stretched, tossing a conch in a bored way. When he woke up, he turned his head to look:

"……woke up?"

Orm felt a slight dull pain in his temple.

"...I was poisoned by that alchemist?"

Isn't his friendship with Al not enough?

Arthur burst out laughing, and threw the conch in his hand on the beach: "Alcohol is such a thing. Eating the candy in your hand will make you feel better."

The latter tilted his head and remained silent.The fact that his brother was with the venom of this sea anemone every day and was still enjoying it made the prince of Atlantis doubt his life: "You should have gone back to the sea to have a look, nothing is better than these. "

Arthur stood up on his knees, then gave his brother a hand: "I'll take you back."

"Aren't you going back?"

"I--"

At the same time, there was another knock on the door of the Edelfelt jewelry store in Brooklyn.

The clerk opened the door, and immediately took half a step back in horror from the familiar face in front of him—his immediate boss of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a fanatical fan of the person in front of him.

"Hi... Mr. Edelfelt, are you here?"

asked Steve Rogers, leaning on the door frame.

The author has something to say: Clerk: I think the wine table culture should not happen in such a serious dialogue between land people and Atlantis.

Orm: Try the thing that stupid brother always has every day... yuck.
