[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Chapter 101

At night, London train station.

After crossing the invisible boundary line, there was no one on the platform.

Even though it was getting late, Tony Stark still insisted on wearing special large sunglasses to cover his abnormally red pupils. The gift of the devil would interfere with some of his appearance characteristics to a certain extent. As a well-known superhero, even There are a group of unreasonable magicians in the car, and he is unwilling to expose his abnormality to the outside world.

"Wow, so there's really Platform Nine and Three Quarters and Muggle Repel."

The bearded businessman in a suit and leather shoes looked around: "Are we waiting for the bus here now?"

"There is no such platform, and now it is just a space that is deliberately separated."

Alphonse stood beside Tony, still feeling that it was unreal for someone without a magic circuit to appear here: "The train itself is equivalent to a created alien world, after you get on the train..."

The blond jeweler's ears turned red, his voice paused, and he still said, "Try not to leave my side."

"Ah."

Tony couldn't help smiling, and looked at the alchemist who was obviously uncomfortable: "Like the subway in Philadelphia?"

"There is still a little difference. The subway is just a line that happens to pass through the leylines, and this train is a mobile workshop created artificially to walk on the leylines..."

Alphonse was just explaining seriously, and after touching those warm brown eyes with a smile, he suddenly remembered what the other party meant by this question - he must not understand spiritual veins and magic workshops, so This sentence is saying...

They once briefly kissed each other on the Philadelphia subway for a magical exchange.

In the eyes of the magician, this is not unusual. Considering that most of the magicians in the clock tower have fallen to the bottom line, he shouldn't have any doubts.

"..."

But the heat from the pinna to the fingertips showed something different.

People don't want to carefully distinguish the difference.

Stephen Strange was also standing on the platform, with a pair of magic eye killer flat glasses on his face, looking particularly headache: "...I really don't want to step on this train if I can, but El Melo II is unwilling to come alive or dead."

Seriously, it's a consensus in the industry that the magicians from Weishandi's origins are poor, okay? He's really abrupt here. It's strange to see a guy who can't afford anything to participate in the auction!Although he still has some savings as a doctor, it is just a drop in the bucket for the magic eye auction that can cost millions or hundreds of millions. Appearing on such an occasion really makes him feel uncomfortable all over.

The black cat nestled on Alphonse's body and yawned. From now on, he had to disguise himself as a servant demon most of the time, and his magic power level was also deliberately compressed to a level slightly better than that of ordinary animals, in order to prevent problems from being detected .

They came early, and when the time for the train approached, crowds of people gradually appeared on the empty platform, just like a medieval picture scroll coming into reality. They were all wearing strange costumes. Underneath, the white alchemy robe and Strange's red cloak, which looked very abrupt in the crowd, looked ordinary and simple.

In such an environment, Tony Stark in suits and leather shoes became the most abnormal person.

To this, Tony: "..."

"It felt like a Halloween costume party and I forgot my clothes."

He whispered in Alphonse's ear, "If I had known, I would have asked Pepper to help prepare a black robe worn by Death and a scythe."

Anyway, don't they all wear strange clothes? Let's see who wears the weirdest clothes.

"Most people's costumes are magic dresses that contain spells."

Strange folded his arms and joined the conversation: "According to this statement, it would be more in line with the custom here for you to put on your own steel suit."

Tony Stark raised his wrist when he heard the words, wearing a bracelet with the Stark Industry LOGO engraved on it: "In this case, I also wear such a 'magic dress'."

At the moment of chatting, the train slowly enters the station with the sound of the whistle that is hardly seen in modern times.

The ticket was properly packaged in an envelope sealed with wax paint. When opened, inside was a small metal card with the same size as an ID card. Each passenger's name and personal information were engraved on it with unknown technology—such as Alvon The family crests of Barthumello and Edfelt will be marked on the ticket of Strange, while the unique symbols of the temple will be left on Strange's ticket.

Tony Stark opened his own raised eyebrow, and unexpectedly found that it was blank.

"I thought I'd see the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo."

He whispered, "Otherwise, at least add a Stark Industries logo to it."

"Some customers outside the rules are invited here every year. If you have a consumption record here this year, you may send invitations to Stark Industries next year."

Suddenly, a jumping female voice came from behind the group of people, and Alphonse turned his head first, and found that the person who came was also an acquaintance: "Yo Al, I heard earlier that you will attend this year, but I didn't expect you to come! El Mello Teacher II, please let me help you!"

The girl who dyed her hair into exaggerated pink double ponytails and wore an eye patch greeted each other with vigor: "My store is also taken care of by you this year!"

The gate of the train opened, and several people came in one after another. Alphonse introduced as he walked: "Yvette L. Lehman, the family of man-made magic eyes. The raw materials of their magic eyes are usually magic gems, so here I am. I've ordered a lot."

It seems that because of the magic of space, the space inside the train is far more spacious than observed from the outside. Strange looked it up and down, and felt that every inch of land smelled of money.

Tony Stark was very impressed by the bluffing girls and unsteady teenagers in El Mello's classroom, so his first reaction was to stay away, but the other party turned around them Turning around, my eyes rested on Alphonse again: "Although I have always been motivated to become the mistress of Teacher El-Melloi II, if you agree, Alphonse, it is not impossible for me to consider you? In this case, you sell I can also get a discount on gems."

Tony:? !This child looks fifteen or sixteen years old?Aren't the British very conservative? !

Strange also had a shocked expression on his face, and Alphonse couldn't help covering his face and let out a sigh of relief: "Don't mess around, be careful that Luvia will go back and quarrel with you."

The girl named Yvette just walked around a few people, stretched out a finger and slightly raised the blindfold on one side of her face, with a slightly smug look on her face: "This is the magic eye that can measure emotions." ? The magic eye of Malachite, a work that the Lehman family can be proud of, as long as it is the emotional connection between human beings, it will not be missed by this eye!"

Tony couldn't help but take another look at this noisy little girl. Do all magicians become famous at such a young age?This age...but he was also at his own age and was about to graduate from MIT. Considering that the other party was studying at the Clock Tower, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.

The mobile phone lost signal the moment he stepped into the train. Stephen Strange tried a little bit, and there were many obstacles in the space magic that could connect to the outside world. It seems that the organizer deliberately built this train as a In order to create a world different from the present world, all means of diverging and connecting to the outside can easily become the passage to break through this isolated workshop, so they are all blocked.

"This time, your family also has magic eyes consigned here?"

Since he wanted to seriously participate in the auction, Alphonse asked with some interest, "Are you selling a single?"

"Of course, my family also consigned a lot of magic eyes this time, as well as some versions of new works. If you are interested in buying Al, I will go and prepare a stocking list for you."

Seeing that there was a business visit, Yvette, who was originally only instructed by El-Melloi II to accompany her on her behalf, also took a more serious attitude.

After the nagging girl left the carriage, Tony Stark, Alphonse and others followed the sign to find their own room.

Loki got away with using the identity of a servant, and on the surface they boarded the train as three people.There are two rooms with opposite doors, so a few people have a small conflict in the allocation of the room.

As soon as the door was closed, Loki returned to his original appearance without hesitation: "I will share a room with you, and the three of you will live together."

Stephen:? ?Impossible, how could I allow the god of trickery to run amok on this car.

"Are you going to take on this role after your ant senior brother?"

The green-eyed evil god taunted without hesitation: "Even if I act recklessly in front of you, what can you do? This is not your temple. Don't think you can defeat me without the protection of the workshop. "

"you……!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Alphonse smoothed things over: "Then I will live with Loki."

The God of Trick raised his eyebrows and showed a proud look at Stark. Although he was not interested in any humans in the courtyard, unlike his brother who was willing to talk to anyone, but since there was a way to make this If tin cans don't feel comfortable, why not do it.

Tony:  …

I think a brat like you needs a domestic violence: "I may be the one who pays at the auction, show some respect to the person who pays!"

The end result of "respect" is that Loki still shares a room with Strange in the form of a cat-considering that everything here uses magic, Stark of the Mode Circuit may not even know how to order food.

In a disguised form, the phrase "don't leave my side after getting in the car" is true.

The night was getting darker, and the train was running extremely smoothly. Tony Stark was lying on the bed, thinking that the gem dealer he was thinking about fell asleep on the other bed next to him, and he was a little... unable to sleep.

What is there at the end of time?What kind of breathtaking scene have you ever seen?Now in this mysterious train completely isolated from the outside world, Tony Stark couldn't help thinking about the shocking news he had learned.

He tossed and turned for a long time, until another person in the room couldn't help but asked, "Tony...do you agree with the bed?"

"Well, no, uh, well..."

Wouldn't it be like an elementary school student looking forward to an outing if he agreed casually!The mustache businessman coughed dryly: "I just didn't expect that the auction in the magic world would travel like this."

"..."

This sentence sounds a little insincere, even Alphonse, who is not familiar with human relations, has heard the omission. In order to prevent the other party from thinking that he is perfunctory, Tony quickly added: "...well, I admit , I'm really curious...whether it's the refreshments that suddenly appear on the table or the lamps illuminated by gemstones, what kind of space is the outside of the train, what kind of things are the leylines, and what kind of feeling is it to have magic power. "

This is a completely unfamiliar territory, and even if El-Melloi II made a symbolic opening, the description from other people's mouths is no more real than the personal experience.

And every further understanding made him realize the fact that he has no magic circuit.

The blond alchemist lay quietly on the bed, pulled the duvet to the height that covered half of his face, and grunted: "...It hurts a bit."

"What did you say?"

"It feels like possessing magical power. The magic circuit is an external object that is hardened in the body. When it was first made, someone once described it as like inserting a red-hot soldering iron into the spine."

After the jeweler explained in a low voice, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed for such a show of weakness, and quickly turned around with his back turned to Stark, wrapped in a quilt, and stopped mentioning this topic: "If you can't sleep, I can give you a hypnotism."

"I'd like to add another goodnight kiss if I could."

Tony grunted.

Before finishing this sentence, Alphonse, who is extremely efficient in hypnotism, used his magic power. With the slight shaking of the train, the whole room fell into silence.

Good night Stark.

The next day.

After being immune to the "cat eating chocolate" scene, everyone has already watched Loki in the form of a cat numbly eating a plate of fruit.The volume he ate did not match the appetite of a cat at all, but on this magic eye collection train, there were indeed not many magicians who would care about such trivial matters.

The interior of the train is generally arranged like a leisure club, with bars and entertainment facilities for recreation, and it is free to board the train.It's a pity that all self-service orders are directly realized through magic, so that the only ordinary person—well, also the favored person of the devil—has no way of experiencing this convenience at all.

But it doesn't matter.Tony Stark followed Alphonse's side, even though the other's ears were red, he didn't let go of the other's hand.

While it's really weird for two big men to walk around hand in hand...everyone here is so weird that they're so normal by comparison.In this car, he had also seen a passenger with four eyes on his face. That kind of Cthulhu's appearance was unbearable to look at. He tried his best not to show the surprised expression on his face.

"That's some alchemists in Africa who inherited the tribal mysteries."

When he got to a corner where no one was around, Alphonse warned in a low voice: "Their alchemy range will include themselves, so it will look a bit strange. Try not to look into other people's eyes casually... On this train, People with magic eyes are the majority."

"I know, I only follow you."

Most of the businessmen who are well-known in the industry are resting on Alphonse's shoulders. From a distance, it almost looks like one person is dragging another person, and he pretends to complain as he walks: "I want to find a place where there is no Internet connection." It’s not enough to watch the news in your free time.”

"You can take a look at the auction catalog first. Strange also asked for a copy for Loki."

Although he wanted it despite everyone's astonishing gazes—although the Supreme Mage is powerful, it doesn't look like he can afford it.Alphonse turned out a booklet with two pages: "It contains all the magic eyes that will be sold in this auction."

Although I can't install this kind of equipment myself, it doesn't mean I can't open my eyes.Tony took the brochure and sat on the sofa side by side with Alphonse, commenting on the auction item this time.

The flaming magic eye, what it sees will be ignited.

The farsighted magic eye can have the same visual magnification effect as a telescope.

"This kind of thing was very useful about 1000 years ago, but it is not as good as a set of supporting equipment for the modern army."

Tony Stark curled his lips in disdain: "The Iron Suit supports all the functions mentioned above."

Alphonse raised his eyebrows and continued to look down.

The magical eye of Whisper can plant hints in the hearts of others.

The magic eye of fierce luck can make the luck of the person being watched continuously worsen.

"These sounds really amazing. Luck is indeed something that modern science and technology are not easy to explain..."

Tony touched his chin: "But if it's for Saul, it's not suitable again."

"And if you just want to cast a hint, Loki's own rune magic can do it. There is no need to use a special eye to complete this function. As for the bad luck...you should have seen the SHIELD to me. Report?"

The jeweler closed the brochure: "The magic eyes of the gold level and above are only released at the auction site. The previous items are probably not suitable, so let's just watch it for fun."

Tony nodded and was about to say something when a familiar female voice suddenly came from behind him.

"In this case, Al and this gentleman, would you like to listen to the inside information to learn about the exclusive news? The excellent magic eye supplier, the Lehman family, is at your service, Yvette's special service!"
