[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Thinking this way more than once, Tony Stark always felt that Alphonse had a kind of goblin-like quality.

Of course, considering the other person's life experience, such an idea was really offensive, so he didn't tell anyone.

Not the kind of scary goblins you see in dreams that are prone to PTSD, but the more approachable and lovable kind in fairy tales.The blond jeweler couldn't tell his age, and he had a clearer voice than most, but he wasn't as frizzy as those newly recruited young people in Stark Industries, and he planned his strategies like ordinary people.

It is said that the supreme mage lived for more than 500 years. When he heard this for the first time, Tony couldn't help but wonder how many years the eldest son of Edelfelt had lived before he became what he is today. look.

The edge of the ark reactor is surrounded by a circle of citrine, which is said to be able to help convert the energy released by it into magic.The alchemist pronounced each word very slowly, and he couldn't understand a single word of those awkward pronunciations that were different from English, but for no reason he felt that such singing was like the siren's singing or the mermaid singing the moon on the coastal reef .

The glow of magic power is like a deep river, weaving one after another complicated silk threads, and in the center of the magic cocoon, the alchemist stretched out his fingers and lowered his eyes slightly.

Eye contact, Alphonse gave Stark a puzzled expression: "...you seem to have something to say?"

"Uh, am I bothering you?"

Stark asked cautiously, no matter how inconspicuous and thoughtful he was, he hated other people making noise while he was working.

Alphonse expressed his attitude neatly. He walked out of the cocoon of light surrounded by magic power, and sat directly next to Stark in a very relaxed posture: "Actually, in the initial programming After it's over, I just wait for the spell to start automatically, and there's no need for me to stand there all the time."

Tony: "...then why were you so serious just now?"

He didn't dare to show his anger. You know how rare it is for Iron Man to show such a serious expression.

The blond jeweler coughed lightly, his ears turned red slightly, and he looked a little embarrassed: "That's right, cough, after all, magicians in your eyes are more..."

This is not to maintain the image of it!

Tony was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed out loud. He laughed so hard that even Alphonse, who was sitting beside him, rolled his eyes.

"Speaking of which, you deliberately separated the two of them, right?"

After laughing, Stark blinked his eyes: "Let them go to fight those Death Eaters, and go to London in advance. If it was you, it would be impossible to leave such a big omission and let the newcomer The rookie is going to deal with the experienced dark wizard alone."

Alphonse nodded at the name "Death Eater", and did not refute: "This is the last battle that Gu Yi reserved for herself in advance, and it is the end she chose for herself. According to that guy With such a character, I can't help but use this last chance to educate the younger generation... I won't get involved."

"Aren't you going to see her for the last time?"

Tony turned his head: "I mean... If there is a chance to see the last side, if it were me, I would definitely not miss this opportunity."

Lake Green's eyes were calm and gentle: "We have already met, and we have already said what we should say. The supreme venerable has assumed the responsibility of protecting the world for 500 years. Consuming his soul all the time to encourage himself to protect this world... Stark, too long life and too complicated knowledge are burdens for ordinary people, and for a person who has been carrying the burden for too long If the other party chooses to let go of her burden, no one has the right to order her to carry on."

There was nothing wrong with this sentence, but Tony vaguely remembered the warnings from the angels and demons to the blonde alchemist.

He and the supreme mage who has never met but is sure to die today are actually the same kind of people in a sense. The ending chosen by the other party is very likely to be the future of the calm blonde jeweler in front of him. .But it's not fair... Obviously he hasn't experienced anything yet, Tony knows that this guy's life is horribly regular, except when he is out on the job, the rest of the time he stays silently in his small shop , like a weapon that is activated only when needed.

He suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart.

"Gu Yi can see the future, right?"

Stark suddenly asked: "Has he seen your future?"

"What she saw was 'possibility.'"

Alphonse patted his legs and stood up: "Gu Yi arranged a lot of things for her exit, including but not limited to the last lesson she completed by using her own death, as well as the preparations I am doing now , are all in her plan. It is not so easy to find a new supreme mage. It needs an opportunity and enough experience. It is like Strange hurting his hand and going to Kathmandu. Like today, we have all seen how much damage the dark dimension can bring to this world."

"It's kind of creepy to count, especially when you're being counted, which is why I can't stand that old bat in Gotham."

Stark frowned and muttered, obviously still concerned about the thrilling plan that allowed the alchemist to pass by from the brink of death: "You think the birth of a hero needs an opportunity?"

"Of course, it's like the difference between the well-known arms dealer Stark and Iron Man Stark, you know what I mean."

Alphonse blinked.

"Hmm... because your ruby ​​kept me alive?"

"Of course not. In the name of a second magician who can survey parallel worlds, I guarantee that no matter what kind of world you are in, whether you know me or not, you will become the Iron Man of that world."

The gem merchant put a hanging ring between the index finger and middle finger of his left hand, and began to move his joints up and down. Watching the opponent's movements, Tony Stark suddenly began to imagine that if he had never met a goblin, how would his life be different? will be very different.

The experience in Afghanistan has indeed brought him a change that can be said to be like being reborn from the ashes. He feels with some taste that the other party has already exhausted his life history, but whether it is on the Internet or in life, , this impeccable gem merchant has never been able to leave a single flaw.

"It's almost time."

Alphonse said.

As soon as his words fell, the entire New York Temple trembled slightly, and the door was pushed open with a bang, Stark turned his head and saw Karl Modu and Strange striding forward in a hurry After walking in, because the steps were too hasty, Modu even staggered when he passed the steps.

"Alphonse, Hong Kong, Casillas went to Hong Kong, and he intends to let Dormammu and their dark dimension descend on Earth!"

Strange said anxiously.

The blond jeweler took a look at the two of them, both of them were wounded, and it was very obvious that Mage Gu Yi was not around.Modu obviously hasn't recovered yet, Gu Yi's death has had a great impact on him, and his unwillingness and resentment are now forcibly suppressed because of the death, he calmly said: "We can't let Domamu just like this devour the whole earth..."

Tony Stark stood aside, his attention was more focused on Alphonse, it seemed that as soon as the rookie magician named Strange appeared, he began to lose his mind.

"Oh, then we're going to Hong Kong now."

He nodded, waiting for one of them to draw the portal.

It was like watching Harry Potter's Professor Severus Snape that way, Tony thought, and if this was really Gu Qi's last game, the guy's acting as a pawn was terrible.

Or... Damn it, no lunatic would use the destruction of the world as a bet to temper his heir, right?But it is not impossible, after all, magicians are very crazy guys...

The future vision will see the possibility, and they are all trying to induce the future direction. Concerned about the unreliability of the magician, Tony Stark followed Alphonse into the portal, and then, Saw a scene that he will never forget.

Space erodes space, and darkness reveals reality. He once didn't understand what the "dark dimension" was, but now the scenes he sees with the naked eye can hardly be described in words. The strange and depressing scenes and the spontaneous The trembling feeling of the soul made him understand without explaining that this is a sign that the dark dimension ruled by Dormammu is eroding the real space.

The golden-red steel battle suit rose from the ground, dragged the tongue of flames and flew into the air, and fired several directional missiles at the small piece of sky covered by the dark dimension, but all the attacks lost their feedback like mud cows entering the sea.Strange and Mordo were halfway through the battle with a group of magicians who wanted to stop them. At the critical moment, as the last human being able to leverage the Eye of Agamotto, he chose to reverse the time .

The iron suit turned back in the air. If this was the arrangement of the Ancient One mage, he had to praise that magic is really a wonderful thing.

The overturned rubble returned to the roof, and the faces of panicked pedestrians were smiling again.

The shards of glass recombine into bulbs, and the tungsten filaments flicker, emitting a warm yellow light.

The balloons fell from the sky and returned to the children's hands, and the dilapidated streets were filled with fireworks again.

"Then, next..."

Strange, wearing the magic levitation cloak, took a deep breath, and put an anchor of time on himself.He knew that Alphonse had used such magic once. During the days of Karma Taj, this senior in the magic field also shared his secret of escaping death.

It's not difficult, he tried to convince himself, it's just a key frame in the video, a cycle symbol in the music score, an ifelse in the program, a magic formula that Alphonse himself can do, when there is Under the protection of the Eye of Agamotto, a god-made weapon, it is not a problem for him at all.

Magic power instantly floods the body, and high concentration of magic power often changes a person's appearance to a certain extent, just like Casillas and the others have dark circles under the eyes that don't look like good people, and the frosty white color quickly climbs On Stephen Strange's sideburns.

"Stephen?!"

Wang said in shock: "You can't beat Dormammu!"

"I don't need to beat him, I..."

——As long as I can continue to not lose to him, it will be fine.

Originally, he wanted to say that, but a hand with strong bones suddenly pressed his shoulder.

"How can the Supreme Mage, who is absolutely not allowed to die easily in this world, die hundreds of times over and over again?"

With a light force, Alphonse pulled Strange, who was ready to go, behind him, and even Tony Stark with a shocked face——The power of my God's steel suit definitely exceeds An ordinary crane, this guy doesn't look like Sol's muscular type, what the hell is he...

He glanced at Alphonse, and was stunned again. The other's eyes were glowing with phosphorescence, and there were scratches of magic circuits all over his body. From his cheeks to his fingertips, everything was shining azure like a knife. magic glow.

"That is indeed a means to stop Dormammu at the moment, but it is not enough. The news of the Supreme Being's death will soon spread throughout the multiverse. We need more methods and stronger methods that can deter them. "

Alphonse smiled and said, "Gu Yi has her reasons for choosing you, and one of the last words she left to me is not to let her successors be ruined prematurely."

When Strange was in a daze, he saw the alchemist who was obviously no older than him in a full "senior posture", and patted himself on the shoulder lightly.

"—You still have a long time to take on these responsibilities, but don't get used to death at the very beginning of your career."

The angels and demons did not know when they appeared behind the crowd. Crowley put his elbows on the shoulders of Stark's steel suit, even though the suit actually had an advanced sound filtering system. It still stuck to the side of the ear as if whispering to someone: "Look, it's not that we don't help him hide it this time, it's him who intends to activate this magic."

"and many more--"

Tony Stark suddenly felt something was wrong: "Conceal...what is he going to do?"

"We can't spoil it even for a second."

Crowley also stared at Alphonse, the golden snake pupils reflected the azure magic light: "But at the right time, maybe he will be willing to explain to you."

Dormammu's dark dimension has cast a shadow over the sky of the entire London Temple. If Stark is still in the mood to complain at this time, he will probably call it "colorful black", but his gaze is now He focused on the blond alchemist, unable to utter a single word, as if he was trapped in a steel suit, unable to move an inch.

[Old mystery, perish. ]

The cloak was blown away by the strong wind, and the golden shoulder-length hair scattered in all directions. The alchemist slowly floated up into the sky, and spread his hands towards the darkness that covered half the sky, as if to embrace the restless crowd. black sky.

[Shackles of the frontier, free the torrent within. ]

[I, in my name, pray to pry the light of magic from within the world. ]

"Wait... what is he doing?"

Stark jerked Crowley off his body, staring directly at the extremely silent angels and demons in the red-gold suit. He instinctively felt that this magic that was trying to fight against the entire dark dimension was particularly bad.

"He is pulling the power of Fairy Township and using the planet's more ancient source of magic power."

Crowley looked at the sky expressionlessly: "Aziraphale and I have already warned him, but it seems that this guy didn't listen thoroughly."

Alphonse's original blue-green overlapping magic eye has changed again, and the structure of the human eyeball can no longer be seen in the entire eye socket. The iris in the center of the lens has completely become like two pieces inlaid in the center of the eyeball, with a smooth cross section. gem.

[The personality function is interrupted, the formation of the soul crack has been confirmed, and the concentration of magic power has exceeded the rated value. ]

It was clearly the clear voice of a jeweler, but it had long since lost its usual warmth.

[The magic conversion technique is activated, and the first and second security restrictions are lifted. ]

As soon as the words fell, accompanied by two crisp sounds, two of the three jewel buttons on the chest of Alphonse's white alchemy robe shattered.

"That's the true origin of the Lord of Jewelry..."

Crowley's voice was heavy: "It's finally here."
