[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

"The gentleman from Gotham will also attend tonight's banquet."

After experiencing a series of incidents of exchanging bodies, Alphonse finally got used to such occasions. What he held in his hand was the invitation letter received by the Animusfia family. All the major magician families of the Magic Association There are more or less secular industries, including the Edelfelt family in Finland, and the magicians have their own funding channels.

The little detective followed Alphonse step by step. The amount of information tonight was already too much for him, and it is estimated that he could sort out a quite weighty report. After Alphonse rested, he estimated that tonight Still have to catch up on documents all night: "The other party is a magician living in Gotham?"

"It's not...how should I put it?"

Alphonse stroked his hair, feeling that it was a bit embarrassing to explain this: "There was a magician who exposed himself in Gotham before, but he was caught and beat up by this man, and by the way he knew the mysterious domain of this world. "

Little detective: "..."

Thinking about Alphonse's combat effectiveness as an alchemist, and thinking about the previous riots caused by magicians, he suddenly felt that no matter who the other party was, this guy from Gotham must be a wolf, more than a ruthless person Three o'clock, still horizontal.

The family business of Animsfia's family is not big or small. In this kind of commercial banquet, it is the type that will not be underestimated and will not attract too much attention. In addition, this family is not interested in doing business in person. Everyone has long been used to the fact that the people from the Animsfia's house are different every time they show their faces. They greeted Alphonse very habitually, and after a short polite greeting, they each began to look for their own targets.

It stands to reason that the property of the Edfelt family is equally astonishing in size, but the young Luvia is too easy to handle. As an outstanding family head, there is no need for elder brother Alphonse to worry about it. Therefore, his strength in this regard Not even as experienced as my sister who is still in school.

Almost everyone present is a group of shining stars in the industry, and among this group of shining stars, there are two people who seem to be particularly famous.

The clerk and Alphonse looked along the flow of people, and the former covered his mouth in surprise.

"...Mr. Stark!"

The sharp-eyed Tony Stark pushed aside the crowd and was equally surprised to see that Alphonse was here.He stretched out his hand to stop the crowd, strode to Alphonse's side, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here? Is there any danger in this place if you wait for a while?"

Alphonse: "..."

I always feel that this guy is suffering from some kind of alchemist PTSD.

And there were already people around who were exclaiming in low voices: "Is Stark going to cooperate with the Animsfia family?"

Accompanied by the voice of speaking, there were several suppressed shutter sounds one after another.

Tony Stark: "...Animsfia?"

He is really familiar with this name, after all, no one will forget the transfer account of his large amount of funds, but he did not expect that Alphonse rarely attended such an occasion, and it turned out that the name of Animsfia was on it. , This also made the businessman with a mustache feel a bit of a taste in his heart.

He interpreted this feeling of inconsistency as the discomfort of seeing someone spend his money without knowing it.

Alphonse looked around to make sure that no one was listening here, and then walked to the corner with Tony Stark instead: "I have something to ask Maris Billy, and it happened to happen tonight, Just drop by for dinner."

Tony squinted his eyes, and the attitude of the other party was obviously that he didn't intend to tell him what happened, but he just wanted to break the casserole and ask the end: "What's the matter? I mean, if there is a need, I can actually help busy……"

"About the leylines of the United States, it is the follow-up to the last time the demon was summoned."

Alphonse explained in a low voice: "I want to prevent someone from using similar means to create trouble again."

Tony Stark understands that now he still has a lot of unfinished business. Except for Jin Bin who has been igniting fires everywhere, there are wars all over the world. As a bright superstar The hero is obviously much busier than Alphonse—coupled with the constant updates, iterations and research and development of the steel suit, he hasn't been able to get enough sleep for five hours a day recently.

Obviously, the alchemist also noticed the light blue color in the opponent's eyes.

He pondered for a long time, while the businessman wearing big red sunglasses looked at him with a smile, and the alchemist's distressed expression was reflected in his warm brown eyes.

"...I have some sleep aids, which should be regarded as derivatives of hypnotism, but the part that is harmful to the body has been removed, so you can use it with confidence..."

He took out a goose yellow opaque cube in his hand, which looked like an unwrapped candy bar. The blond jeweler held the stone in his hand, with a hesitant look on his face: "If you need it... ..."

Tony Stark took the light yellow stone directly: "You want to sell it to me? The bill will come later."

"—No, it's not worth much."

Alphonse finally made up his mind: "I intend to give it to you."

This is against the rules, he thought.

It is obviously unfair to give ordinary people the products of alchemy and drag them step by step into the mysterious world.Mystery begets mystery, and danger and danger will attract each other. Let an ordinary person accept these things and accept all possible risks, but the other party does not even have the slightest anti-magic power. This is simply letting a blind man wear a The guide stick went for a walk on the edge of the cliff.

He has embarked on a path that even magicians find lonely, there is no need to drag other people into the water, especially when the other party lives under the spotlight and is the hero everyone is looking at.

but……

There is still a voice in my heart clamoring that this person is different.

He is Iron Man, and he is one of the few people in this world who can compete with the magician with his own power and push the world forward with his own power.

If it is such a person, then maybe it really doesn't matter, it can resist those delusions, evil and curses that are born through magic.

"I really envy alchemists."

Tony smiled jokingly: "I can do anything. It took me a lot of effort to develop an anti-gravity device that can support the aircraft carrier. Last time I saw you without protection or wearing any equipment. can walk on the sky."

"I guess this stuff must work better than melatonin."

The mustache businessman put a goose-yellow cube the size of a dice into his pocket, thinking that he might as well process it into some kind of pendant after returning home.

At this moment, a hand patted Alphonse's shoulder lightly.The blond jeweler turned his head knowingly, and saw a black-haired young man who was close to him and smiled at him.

Then, Bruce Wayne saw clearly who the man standing beside Alphonse was.

Tony Stark: "..."

Bruce Wayne: "..."

These two people have impressions of each other, and Stark Industries and Wayne Group also have a considerable degree of business cooperation. By the way, these two people have a bad impression of each other.

Tony showed an obvious expression of disgust: he lacked intelligence, changed girlfriends all day long, and every time he changed a new assistant, he could be on the news.

Bruce smiled and then smiled: A guy who lacks exercise and wears himself in a tin can and flies around all day long, with emotions written all over his face, has no right to look at him with disgust.

Alphonse is not surprised that these two people know each other. There are only a handful of guys in the world who can reach this level of money, and even if the main building is bombed again and again, they still insist on opening the company headquarters in Gotham Yes, this Mr. Wayne should be the only one.

"Fortunately, it turns out that the Wayne Group has not gone bankrupt."

I don't know where the hostility comes from, but Tony Stark's mouth is always faster than others: "I thought last time your office was bombed by an N2 bomb and half of the building would make you think about moving. "

"how come."

Bruce Wayne showed a smile with his expression on his face: "I've been watching the news recently. The way you were shot down by a cruise missile a few days ago is really unforgettable."

Alphonse: "..."

He really didn't expect that these two people got along like this in private.

Batman tends to hide his identity more, so until now, not many people know who he really is. Including Tony himself, they only know the identity of the current head of the Wayne Group, but this is not the case. It hindered him from having a bad attitude towards his business competitors—the other party obviously knew Alphonse a long time ago, and judging by that familiar attitude, he looked like a damned magician who hid his identity.

Of course, he didn't mean that a magician who hides his identity should be damned, but... Tsk!

"Hello, Mr. Wayne."

The alchemist showed a commercial smile: "I will probably be able to find out about Gotham City tonight, and no matter what the result is, I will find a way to inform you."

"He's probably not a magician."

Tony asked suspiciously, "Is this guy your guest?"

"By chance, he knew that there are these unnatural phenomena in this world."

Alphonse nodded, confirming the fact that Bruce Wayne is not a magician: "He...the situation in Gotham is quite special, and the magicians there are correspondingly a bit brainless..."

Tony Stark nodded in understanding. Judging from his experience when he was taken away by Alphonse, magicians can draw power from the desperate soul and blood of human beings. If this is the case, the entire Gotham Both are indeed very suitable for being a breeding ground for evil wizards.

only……

"Gotham is really not a place for normal people to live in."

Tony Stark said earnestly: "Go back to New York early."

And Bruce, whose real identity is Batman, wanted to take advantage of the banquet to seize the time to pry more information about Gotham's leylines from the alchemist. Old acquaintance, can this guy say a few words less, God he doesn't even get a chance to interject.

"...and the villains in Gotham are not normal, they're all about Batman."

Tony Stark still doesn't intend to let these two people go: "Everyone has been beaten out of Batman PTSD, and this group of people's heads are not normal. Many villains usually talk about Batman, what is that called? Come on, Stockholm Syndrome, they won't feel well if they don't get a few beatings."

Bruce: "..."

He decided to reduce some Stark Industries cooperation orders.

Alphonse, who knew part of the truth: "..."

He was beginning to feel that Bruce was having a hard time, too.

Facing the alchemist's meaningful gaze, Bruce Wayne smiled with a particularly stiff expression: "What he said is not right, after all, I am from Gotham."

Fortunately, Tony Stark has been busy dealing with Jin and his men recently, and soon he was attracted by the signal sent by a certain steel suit in cruise state, the red sunglasses Countless data and information were outlined on the computer, and after commanding from a distance for a period of time, he decided to fly back to New York himself.

Just as he was about to go out to look for Happy to get the suitcase of the suit, Alphonse took the initiative to speak:

"Shall I take you back to New York?"

Lake green eyes look into warm brown eyes.

This is the proud hero of New York City, he thought, the only Tony Stark in the world.

The other party was obviously taken aback, and wanted to ask, "What kind of value-added service is this?" The bearded businessman subconsciously touched his pocket with his lowered fingers, and touched a small hard lump the size of a dice.

"my pleasure."

In the end, he adjusted his expression and smiled, watching the alchemist open the cognitive interference, and cut a space in a corner that no one could notice, and set the location at Tony Stark's home.

"Come and tell me when you're back from traveling, how did you get the coordinates of my home address."

Before stepping into the portal, Tony Stark suddenly turned around with a teasing tone: "The teleportation just now, you didn't wear that weird ring on your finger."

Alphonse: "..."

That's because the pendulum from before is still in your home!The blond jeweler silently emphasized in his heart, why did such a thing have to be said with such an expression!

Bruce Wayne, who was watching the whole process, stood aside, pondered for a long time, and finally decided not to inquire about unnecessary gossip.

At night, Mauna Kea Observatory.

Maris Billy Animsfia stood in front of the huge astronomical telescope, and the huge spherical viewing angle silently adjusted its direction, aiming at the boundless night sky.

The white-haired magician raised his hand, and the magic power poured down from the earth and the starry sky, converging into a torrent of light in the night.The little clerk looked at it without blinking, and the light seemed to be guided. The irregular Brownian motion state became orderly and quiet, and a huge picture was arranged under the guidance of the magician.

A low voice chanted.

[Stars.]

The shape of a star.

[Cosmos.]

empty form.

[Gods.]

God's form.

[Animus.]

My shape.

On the golden pupils, there is a wave of magic power that flashes past.

The celestial body is the void, and the void is the void.

[Antrum.]

[Unbirth.]

[Anima.]

[Animussphere.]

The magical power gathered from all directions forms a flowing billions of stars around everyone.The huge image of the earth is constructed by magic power, followed by countless spiritual veins that flow along the continents and ocean basins, which are invisible to the naked eye.

The particles of light are restless, but they are restrained and shaped by Maris Billy's magic. This is the picture of the world, and countless blood vessels and breaths of the whole world rushing through the leylines.

The white-haired magician stood in front of the model of the leylines that was almost as big as the entire astronomical telescope, and smiled silently at the two of Alphonse.

"This is……"

The little clerk couldn't help being shocked.

"This is the magic of Animsfia."

Alphonse's pupils reflected the image of the entire earth: "They not only stare at the starry sky, but also pay attention to the earth. After all, the earth itself is a little lonely star floating in the universe."

The author has something to say: Tony (tears of lasagna): Sure enough, Krypton Gold can randomly drop equipment.
