[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Chapter 21

As a result, angels and demons are both literal, physical.

When one black and one white wings protruded from behind the two of them, Stark began to feel that his three views cracked with a cracking sound.

"So, Al has been doing business with heaven and hell?"

He said with difficulty: "What are you looking for me for?"

"I said it at the beginning, to tempt you to degenerate and cause some trouble for the world."

Crowley said seriously.

"And I am the one who came to stop the hero of justice from falling into the whisper of the devil, and to pull you back from the deviated course."

Aziraphale added calmly.

Tony Stark: "..."

He felt that his degree of confusion began to increase exponentially.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to have too much time, so with Aziraphale's explanation and Crowley's supplementary explanation, he learned a story about...a wage earner who skipped work wittily.

Heaven and hell have been opposed for thousands of years. The former brings blessings to mankind, while the latter causes disasters on earth. Aziraphale and Crowley are the expatriate representatives who bear this burden and have been stationed on the earth for a long time.

After a certain time point, the two people who have a good personal relationship but opposite positions find that busy work always cancels out each other, keeping the world in a delicate balance of "keeping the status quo", so Crowley proposes that the two of them They didn't do anything at first, and spent a long period of time in the form of lying to each other's leaders.

Stark, who is used to being a boss: "..."

If Stark Industries has such subordinates who fish in troubled waters, he will fire them.

"What does that have to do with me?"

Stark asked: "You just said that Al is usually helping you lie?"

"No, no, sir, this is about you."

Crowley took off his glasses, revealing a pair of terrifying golden snake eyes: "The world's largest arms dealer no longer sells arms. When was the last time a party animal addicted to sensuality held such an event? Hell treated you very unsatisfactory performance.”

"..."

So he originally held the party because he was surrounded by a group of demons: "...so what do you want?"

"My boss thinks that something—maybe it's holy water, or something else has purified your soul, so he sent me to drag you back into the abyss of hell."

Crowley said.

"And I, after hearing this information in heaven, will be responsible for guiding you, purifying you, and stopping you."

Aziraphale added.

"..."

Tony Stark covered his face without saying a word.

You have so many plays!Should I match your acting skills?What's the matter with the full sense of sight in the second grade!

"so?"

He doesn't think it's a good choice to play with this group of guys: "Stark Industries is not your toy, and I don't want to be at the mercy of others... You can't let me start the arms research and development department again, and then start the munitions research and development department again." Close them a second time."

That's too funny, and he's not sick.

"No, sir, that's not how demons work. You've decided to be the hero of the world, and if we force you to change back, we'll have to use confusion and other spells—in that case, Al Surely it will be found out, and we have no intention of harming his friend."

Crowley spread his hands: "So actually, I don't intend to use this thankless method."

"Crowley, you don't really plan to do anything, do you promise that we are just dealing with the boss."

Aziraphale frowned.

"Of course Angel."

Crowley took it for granted, "I just thought I had to play it more realistically this time, so that those..."

He pointed down with a finger in the depths, and then pointed to the ceiling: "Those... are just convinced."

Tony Stark just stood there so firmly, seeing the man with a pair of black wings approaching him, whispering in his ear:

"--Do you know where Alphonse went and what he did? I can tell you... It's not a deception from the devil, it's really letting you understand what dangerous things that guy is doing. "

"Crowley! He's a normal man!"

Aziraphale exclaimed, "You can't make a normal person face this!"

"So what? I think Mr. Stark would be happy to know."

Crowley's golden snake eyes flowed strangely: "He himself is a person who is chased by excessive knowledge, even if he has more knowledge of mysticism, Aziraphale, even if I don't tell him, he will always One day this person will find out by himself."

He turned to look at Stark: "What do you think? You know, demons can always hit people's hearts directly."

Imaginary space, gem magic, space rift, and the dark dimension that is not a good word at first sight.Alphonse once gave repeated orders that the mystery should not be told to others casually, but how could a scientist refuse to acquire knowledge in a new field.

Not to mention, he sounds like he's in danger.

"...You are so right."

Tony Stark pulled out a smile: "I'm totally convinced, I can't wait."

……

New York City, Brick Street.

A black and white angel and demon brought Stark to the gate of the New York Temple. Tony Stark was surprised to find that there was such a building in New York City, and he had never realized it before.

"The New York Temple has been subjected to strong cognitive interference, and only people with magical powers can notice it. Ordinary people, whether it is sight or attention, will ignore it as much as possible."

Crowley explained, pushing open the door of the temple familiarly.

"You are a devil, can you enter the temple?"

Tony Stark looked suspicious: "This is different from what was written in the novel."

"I will feel very uncomfortable when I enter the church, but the magic power of Weishandi's origin is neutral, and it depends on the user whether it is good or evil."

Crowley waved away the space, and transparent ripples appeared in the vision in front of the three of them.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Crowley."

Aziraphale looked nervous and restrained: "You want him to understand what kind of world Mystery is, but Mr. Stark was not a resident of Mystery in the first place, and if you push him in so rashly, he will— "

"The time is estimated to be almost up."

Crowley interrupted Aziraphale's statement, and buckled his pocket watch: "I guess their next space jump will be in three seconds."

As soon as the words fell, in the hall on the first floor of the New York Temple, directly opposite the three of them, a portal with sparks on its edges suddenly opened.

An Asian with a striking build and a cut head with sunken eyes.Of course, this is not the point, they carried the blond jeweler in the middle on the left and right, Alphonse lowered his head, his whole body was soaked in sweat, a small part of his white robe stuck to his body, revealing mottled water mark.

"Al...?"

Tony froze for a moment, the alchemist he knew always had a strategizing look, even when facing the Hulk and Atlantis, he didn't lose his composure in the slightest, but at this moment the other party seemed to be fished out of the water. No matter how you look at it, it looks extremely embarrassing.

The other party raised his head slightly after hearing the voice, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, his lips moved but he couldn't make a sound, his head tilted and he closed his eyes again.

"His magic power consumption is too great, and the magic circuit is a bit overloaded."

Wang explained habitually, but found that the person who came was not familiar to him. He had heard about the pair of angels and demons, but the one in front...is it obviously Tony Stark himself?He also reads the news!

"What are you doing? Ordinary people bring them in."

Together with Mordo, he helped Alphonse sit on the couch, muttering and complaining.

"What should I do in this situation? Call 911?"

Stark looked at the alchemist who seemed to have changed his previous appearance, and the fingertips of the other party showed a slight unhealthy purple: "Or I can call my medical team over."

"That's unnecessary and useless. The lack of magic power needs to be treated with alchemy."

Karl Modo scanned the three of them with probing eyes, and finally stopped at Crowley, who raised the corner of his mouth: "Alphonse has reserved some potions with us, just to alleviate this situation."

"Now, maybe you can explain to me why angels and demons bring ordinary people into the temple."

"Well, you may not believe it when you say it."

Stark said: "He brought me here to seduce me to corruption."

"..."

"Bullshit!"

Karl Modu was furious: "How could the temple corrupt people!"

This is definitely a provocation from the devil!

The author has something to say: rigid brother Modu: guna!
