[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Under the shocked eyes of the jeweler, Tony Stark explained calmly: "I remember that this can also transmit magic power."

"Generally speaking, blood is still used..."

Wasn't the situation more urgent at that time, and it was more inconvenient to switch bodies... Alphonse frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

Nothing wrong, Tony Stark boiled the frog frankly: "Even if you don't feel the pain, blood loss is always bad."

"It's not a serious injury...and it will heal quickly."

Alphonse was still struggling: "And..."

"You asked me before if I would mind, although you may have misunderstood my personal style review—well, maybe there is no misunderstanding, after all, there are indeed various opinions on the Internet and I actually participated Had a lot of parties but…”

Tony Stark, who raised his mask, put his hands on Alphonse's shoulders. It has to be said that the arms of the steel suit are heavy and heavy: "I don't mind, dear."

"..."

Alphonse wanted to argue, but he was so dumbfounded that he didn't know what to say. Other passengers in the subway car were playing with their mobile phones and dozing off, completely oblivious to the two people who were blocked by cognition sitting on the bench. brief confrontation.

Maybe this is the so-called world-renowned playboy... Alphonse thought dizzily, this is too unfair, the Internet is full of shouts that everyone loves Iron Man, and such a public figure still has A good brain that can push the world forward with its own power.

next second.

It was as if another invisible thing brushed against his cheek, washing away from the front end of the train.Passengers one after another disappeared in the field of vision, leaving only Tony Stark and Alphonse.

The hand covered by the steel battle suit was tightly held by the jeweler's bony fingers, and the back of that hand revealed the brilliance of the azure magic circuit, obviously entering a state of preparation for battle.

White mist spread on the window frame, and the wheels of the train neighed. Under the cover of the mist, the surrounding scenery changed at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye, until the subway came to a complete stop.

With a bang, after a final jolt, the empty subway came to a halt in front of a rocky wall.Along with the tunnel dug out of the rock, Alphonse and Tony Stark followed the traces all the way to the bottom of the empty cliff.

A haggard old man sat on a stone seat illuminated by a beam of skylight, holding a glowing staff.

"You are the guests who entered here by mistake."

He said a little tiredly: "It seems that my strength has indeed weakened, so that I can't tell which are the heirs I really want to call."

"Wow, that sounds like it."

Tony Stark exclaimed expressionlessly: "When I go back, I will ask the R&D department of Stark Industries to make a similar game. It must be very popular."

"You said yesterday that this is the beginning of an inferior RPG."

Alphonse reminded.

"I didn't expect the scene effect to be so realistic yesterday. Since we want to make games, we must make 4D immersive ones. This is a new field that will change the game industry."

Tony Stark discussed with Alphonse like this: "Maybe you will be willing to be my game planner? This salary will definitely make it hard for you to refuse."

Shazam: "..."

Why did these two guys just ignore him!

He coughed dryly, and brought back the attention of the two of them: "Since you are not the heir I am looking for, then I will send you out of here..."

"Wait, you said no, you didn't?"

Tony Stark barged up: "Give me a chance, or a test or something, I dare not say anything else, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary exams to defeat me, and maybe you have stayed in the cave for too long and don't understand the situation, In front of you is the hottest hero in the world, the kind who will cause traffic jams on the street. Since a surgeon can be the guardian of the multiverse, why can't the genius richest man in New York."

Shazam: "..."

He felt that this barbarian was familiar, and compared with the young man who came here before, it was even worse.

He's the last member of the Wizarding Guild!Be polite!

Shazam took a deep breath: "You came here with the magic power of others. There is no channel to carry my magic power on your body. How can you inherit my power?"

And this guy's attitude doesn't look like a guardian who abides by his heart!

"Then why not pick him?"

Tony Stark pointed at Alphonse: "We are already skilled workers who can save the world. This guy just beat Dormammu from the Dark Dimension back to his hometown a few days ago."

Dormammu's name, Shazam, has obviously also been heard of. Vissandi's first-class magicians and their wizard associations are well known. They are organizations that have been passed down from generation to generation to resist evil forces. Although there is no communication with each other, But it was quite respectful, so Shazam's attitude improved a lot: "Are you the supreme mage of this term?"

"The Supreme Master is someone else, I just happened to help."

Compared to Tony Stark, who is always open-mouthed, Alphonse's attitude can't be faulted: "You can call me Alphonse Barthemelo, I come from the Department of Astronomy in the Clock Tower Twelve Faculty, Invited to solve the city's mysterious leak."

"Bathermelo."

Apparently, this last member of the Wizarding Association is more knowledgeable than Sivana: "A Barthomello of the astronomical department, and also declared that he is willing to solve these troubles that occur in this world..."

His eyes scanned Alphonse up and down, and then he became tired again: "Forget it, maybe the times have changed. I have lived for too long. The last time I saw Gu Yi, she was not very old. Now maybe Centuries have passed. The Seven Deadly Sins have been unleashed into the real world, and they have polluted Thaddeus Sivana's soul, making him bloodthirsty and insane...that is not a problem that ordinary magicians can solve , Bathmelo, they will absorb human desires and continue to grow."

"Generally speaking, in the face of this kind of monster that can evolve independently, the game strategy is to interrupt the opponent's release of skills as much as possible and kill the opponent quickly before the opponent upgrades."

Tony Stark replied, anyway, there will always be a battle. According to Alphonse, it is easier to face monsters than magicians. These unconscious guys only know how to use physical brute force to destroy, but Magicians always make stumbling blocks and tricks: "Or you can simply treat us as an outsourcing company and temporarily entrust your power to us, and then return it to you after use--we are both very reliable in character and will never take it not return."

The gray-haired wizard looked at Alphonse carefully, and then he still refused: "It can be seen that you are an excellent magician, but you can't accept my power."

"how……"

"Of course you don't see it, mortal."

The other party said in a matter-of-fact tone: "This Mr. Barthemelo can no longer accept the power of other sources, his soul has already been filled with other things, and even the power of Emperor Weishan can't penetrate it completely. Entering such a strong barrier and barrier, even if you know the magicians of the temple, it is not easy to use their spells, right?"

Alphonse's expression remained the same when he heard the words, and there was no change. On the contrary, Stark looked at the wizard again: "Is this condition not treatable?"

"Different sources of magic power have their own rules. He has already gotten used to other rules. Unfortunately, I can't help you."

The wizard shook his head: "I am the last member of the Wizards Association, and I must find the inheritor of my power before I die, otherwise the world will..."

"—Destruction, right? To be honest, I've heard so much talk about the destruction of the world recently that I'm getting used to it."

Tony Stark looked around at the surrounding space, and he didn't know whether it was somewhere on the earth or somewhere else. The surrounding rocks showed traces of rough excavation, but obviously lacked fine follow-up processing: " Perhaps you have stayed in this place for too long and don't know how far the outside world has developed. Would you like to talk about what kind of qualities your heirs should have? There are already many heroes on the earth, maybe some of them will Which one is just right and willing to take the thankless job."

Shazam: "..."

This person's words are really ugly, but he really needs such a talent, so the gray-haired old wizard patiently said his request: "The heir must have the most steadfast and noble character, and will not be tempted by evil." If you are shaken, you can't be contaminated by any of the seven deadly sins, and you can steadfastly go to various battlefields in the mysterious world to wipe out all disasters during your lifetime!"

Alphonse: "..."

He and Tony Stark looked at each other, and there was only one candidate left in their heads.

"Have you... ever heard of Captain America?"

With a sneeze, the US team who had just finished their mission sneezed inexplicably while training in the Avengers Building.

After a simple investigation of magic, the last wizard Shazam can only regretfully express that the Mr. Steve Rogers you mentioned may indeed have a truly noble character, but he does not have their genre The adaptability of magic power, so even if he is a very suitable entrusted object, Shazam's power cannot be passed on to him.

"This kind of company deserves to go under."

Tony Stark clung to Alphonse's ear, whispering in a low voice that Shazam could hear: "Set a high standard that can't recruit employees at all, have no salary and high-risk work throughout the year, and be on call 24 hours a day. It is possible to work overtime, does he think he is running a sweatshop? No wonder your clerk refused him without hesitation, this kind of bad routine can only deceive high school students."

Shazam: ...?

I hear you bastard! !

You are bullying the elderly!The white-haired old wizard rolled up his sleeves and was about to use his wand to smack this reckless guy. As a result, Tony Stark stood still and didn't care. All kinds of weapons have entered the activated aiming state.

Shazam, who was anchored by countless tiny missiles, felt a lot of pressure.

"It doesn't matter if you don't inherit your power."

Under the metal mask, Tony Stark's voice was extraordinarily confident: "I will solve the troubles you let out, and you can slowly think about how to find the heir who does not exist, but all human beings will have all kinds of problems. All kinds of desires, human beings will always find a balance with their own desires in the tug-of-war, if you really want to find a perfect entrusted object that will never tire, I suggest you learn about artificial intelligence."

He lowered his arm slowly, and the lit palm cannon gradually dimmed.The old wizard's eyes stared sharply at the raving guy in front of him. He had lived too long, and he could tell at a glance that the other party was definitely not the kind of heir he needed.

The well-known science fiction writer Arthur Clarke once said, "Any very advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic at first glance." The streamlined iron suit looks like some kind of weird magic dress in the eyes of the old wizard, but He knew very well that the other party didn't have a single magic circuit.

But it should be so, through a layer of unknown metal, he can see that there is no trace of confusion in the eyes of the other party. He really wants to wipe out all the seven original sins at once.

Has the power of mankind, in the course of several centuries, advanced to such an extent...

This discovery makes people wonder whether they should be relieved or relieved.In the end, looking at the two standing and sitting in front of him with complicated expressions, the old wizard pondered for a while, and finally said: "Perhaps the long life has made me forget what kind of creature the human essence is... Interested in hearing me tell a story from decades ago?"

"I'm all ears."

On the wheelchair, the jeweler with lake green eyes nodded slightly.

This is a somewhat corny story.

Decades ago, the old wizard, who felt his time was numbered—on the time scale of a magician who had lived hundreds of years—sensed that the seal of the Seven Deadly Sins had loosened, and decided to set up a Find your heir among the fit and proper.

This heir will take over the burden entrusted by the Wizarding Association, and spend the rest of his life guarding the Seven Deadly Sins, preventing this darkness from eroding the world.Just like every supreme mage cannot freely choose death, the successor of Shazam's power also shoulders an overly heavy mission. The Seven Deadly Sins will continue to try to awaken the evil of human nature. He secretly swears that he must choose the most pure and pure soul chosen to be his successor.

To this end, he rejects one candidate after another, testing them against the very existence of the Seven Deadly Sins, a test that, sadly, none have so far passed.

"Of course you can't let people who don't have magic power to directly face high-level charm..."

Hearing this, Alphonse couldn't help but support his forehead. The Wizards Association is an outlier organization different from the Magic Association, and still inherits those older ideas: "This mess should have been cleaned up in the Magic Association, after all. Every supreme mage has a name in the association."

Most people regard this adventure as a fleeting dream, but among them, a teenager who was rejected has firmly remembered this experience.

Perhaps his magical adaptability is better than other candidates, or perhaps, the seven original sins have long planted seeds in his heart.No one knows what is going on in this young man's heart, but the only thing that is certain is that he has never given up searching for relevant mystical knowledge in the past few decades, and he has achieved great success in the field of magic only by self-study. Achieved a progress that ordinary people could not achieve in a lifetime.

A brilliant mind and decades of hard work could make him Dr. Sivana, or a martyr in the occult.Those desires to prove themselves continued to ferment and deteriorate with the passage of time, and finally turned into spiritual monsters connected with the seven original sins.

——After breaking the spell of hell, he finally found a way to return to the bottom of the cliff in his childhood.

"Right now, there's nothing to test it on."

The white-haired wizard looked tired: "You are right, I decided to give this power to the next person who comes here."

Alphonse: "..."

Alphonse: Why don't we choose a little bit? ?Isn't this a bit too sloppy!

The author has something to say: Later, when Stark Industries really started to enter the game industry, it started with this opening.

Al, who played the game belatedly: ...? !
