[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Chapter 31

This should have been a very flustering event, but due to the other party's calm attitude that nothing happened, even Alphonse seemed to be affected by it, and began to think "maybe this is not the case." It’s not very serious, but it’s just a matter of solving problems when encountering them.”

It's like soul magic, but if it doesn't work, he can also ask for help from Lion Jie Jieli, who is proficient in necromancer magic, or Gu Yi, a mage who has a lot of research on soul magic.Up to now, the New York Temple has not said a word. Considering that Gu Yi himself has a intermittent future vision, that is to say, this matter is not so bad that it will have a negative impact on the direction of the world.

But at the moment, the most important problem that needs to be solved is that the condition of this body is not very good.

At the dinner table, the alchemist frowned and complained: "You have mild tinnitus, insomnia, sympathetic pain, and a little lack of exercise."

The businessman who was named took a cautious look at Pepper who was frowning: "...Ahaha, I'm sorry, I'll deal with it when I get back."

Seeing that the expressions of Pepper and Al did not calm down because of this, he touched the bridge of his nose and added: "Otherwise, heck, if it affects your user experience, I can also pay the mental damage..."

"Stark!"

Pepper's voice was raised by an octave, causing the wealthy businessman under Alphonse's skin to shrink his neck subconsciously. After warning Stark, Pepper turned to Alphonse again. His attitude was slightly calmer, but still serious: "Alphonse You can't keep spoiling him like this!"

The two people who were taught were taken aback for a moment, and then Stark belatedly realized that the recent alchemist's attitude towards him was conniving.

Even fiddling with those gemstones that are said to have magical powers, or using all sticks including but not limited to chopsticks, welding electrodes, steel pipes, etc. as magic wands, was acquiesced by the other party with an indifferent attitude.

However, the design size of the steel suit is based on Tony Stark's own body size. More often than not, Alphonse will be pulled to do various functional tests of the suit, starting from the C-shaped piece. After testing all the way to the S-shaped piece, he waved his arm with a very unaccustomed expression, and adjusted the output power of the palm cannon.

This makes the wealthy businessman who rarely thinks about others feel a little apologetic.

"I made the next version of the experimental prototype (Prototype) using the current body size, which happens to be convenient for testing. I will give it to you after the body is replaced."

Tony Stark scratched his own now blond curly hair: "There's been a lot of trouble lately."

"It's ok."

The alchemist immersed in the runes raised his eyes: "I'm actually a little curious about these modern technologies."

Iron Man's battle suit has gathered countless cutting-edge technologies, and the structural strength that does not touch any magic power is so strong that it looks like a god-made military suit. Pretty good.

El-Mello of Modern Magic is also committed to combining traditional techniques with modern technology, but the technical content produced by Stark Industries is obviously beyond the comprehension of most magicians.The recent getting along has brought Alphonse's understanding of the combination of these technologies to a higher level-if Hydra is already thinking about the combination of mysterious and modern weapons, then as a delegated mediator, Barthemelo himself also has responsibility for continuous improvement.

"Ruby has a good characteristic of storing magic power, garnet can be used to make extended space, lapis lazuli can stimulate magic power reaction, amethyst has a high affinity with soul magic..."

Tony Stark counted what he had learned recently: "It's all ores, don't you use metal?"

"Originally, Kenneth El-Mello, the former monarch of the Mineral Section, was a master at using mercury magic, and his costume was called the Moon Essence Essence."

Alphonse thought for a while: "In addition, silver is often used in occultism to remove poison. After all, silverware itself has the function of testing poison in history."

That's fine even if it's metal, Tony Stark nodded and rolled his eyes: "What about 7050-T7451?"

"……what?"

Alphonse was taken aback.

"High-strength aviation aluminum alloy, a metal material commonly used in aircraft, is resistant to corrosion and peeling, has good weldability and is resistant to forging."

Alphonse: "..."

看着对方的复杂表情，看来是不行的。托尼·斯塔克又举出几个例子来：“那30CrMnSi呢？这个不行的话，0Cr15Ni5Cu4Nb也……”

Until the alchemist walked away with a blank expression, Tony Stark was still behind him, whispering: "...I haven't even mentioned Zhenjin yet."

If the weapon of a patriotic American popsicle can be enchanted, the effect will be very happy.

……

There has been no news from the New York Temple, and this body lacking in magic power can't touch the gate of Karma Taj at all.Fortunately, it seems that the conscience of the god of tricks discovered that he left a message in his spell saying that the dislocation of the soul caused by this rune spell would return to normal after about two weeks.

So, the biggest problem seems to be solved.

A specific type of battle suit that is closer to Alphonse was produced as a prototype version. In order to distinguish it from the steel suit in use, Tony Stark painted it in chrome white and named it MarkA—— Alchemist's A.

Although the initial attitude was "Stark you bastard, stop picking up the contradiction between the science side and the mysterious world", after discovering that the two people get along surprisingly well, Nick Fury changed Mind, trying to use this reckless guy to open the door on the mysterious side that has been closed to S.H.I.E.L.D. for an unknown number of years.

Therefore, Nick Fury, who was originally nervous and had to read reports several times a day, also began to let himself go.

Even at the moment when the iron suit came to an end and the mysterious side was calm, he watched the magical scene of these two guys who had temporarily switched bodies playing games online together.

"You can pick up the ones that are dropped here. Hey, I thought you would play a mage-type character, but I didn't expect you to play this kind of character..."

Who would have thought that His Excellency the Alchemist, who is so experienced on weekdays and seems to know everything, is a mad swordsman who charges into battle wielding a wide-mouthed giant sword in the game.

Alphonse wiped the top of his head, and his concentration on the game made him sweat a little. Tony Stark glanced at it slightly, and asked the smart housekeeper to turn down the air conditioner by two degrees.

It's obviously his own body, and the core has been replaced, so the expression and temperament are different.

The character he manipulated held a staff with a small stick, and followed the Berserker to pick up leaks everywhere. There was an electric light in the staff, and each lightning was accurate.Judging from the image of the white-robed mage today, Tony Stark's role selection complements the body itself.

"There are also various types of magic. I always feel that there is a bit of prejudice in the game."

It was rare for Alphonse to explain that Tony Stark's game level was pretty good, allowing him to chime in and chat with ease.

"Hmm...for example?"

"For example, a magician must have a wand."

Alphonse spread his hands and pointed to the villain waving a wand on the screen: "Without it, skills cannot be released, but in fact, there are as many media that can transmit magic power. For example, I use more gems."

Judging from the current situation, as a member watched by hell, Tony Stark has already formed a relationship with mystery, whether he is voluntary or not, so the alchemist explained in the simplest possible way, With a calm expression, he narrated some basic knowledge that has been taught by the general basic course and optimized by modern magic.

The essence of magic, if one thinks and sums it up in a modern way of thinking, is like running various compiled programs on the base of a piece of land.The base disk is the most basic underlying environment. The magic inherited from different magician families is the same as the operating system running on the underlying environment.On top of the operating system, there are magic formulas one after another. They may be simple or complex, and they are program entries one after another.

Stark nodded, he had no problem accepting the part so far.

"Magic power is like an electric current. The gasoline burned by a car, the palladium metal used in your ark reactor, only under the drive of magic power, the pre-set programs can run smoothly."

It has to be said that the most intelligent soul in the world is still as sharp as ever even if he changes his body.Tony Stark pulled out the amethyst that would never respond to the call again, threw it up and down twice, and said:

"So, your incantation, Call or something... that is actually the call pointer of the program?"

The pre-set program package or written function will take effect under the call of the pointer... Thinking about it this way, I feel that magic and science are somewhat similar.

"Weber occasionally uses this statement to explain to students."

Alphonse smiled: "My teacher is more traditional, so it's not easy to say whether this is the case, but it would be nice if this form of understanding makes you feel more convenient."

Tony Stark was noncommittal to this ambiguous answer. He shook his hand, and the villain on the screen waved his wand, electrocuting a monster that was trying to attack from behind.If you look closely, this villain doesn't really look like a magician, but rather a character who holds a small stick and acts as a magnetic explosion infantry.

The fingers holding the game controller are round and well-defined.Tony Stark turned his face to see the opponent's reaction. Every time he played the game for a long time, Alphonse would stand up and stretch his joints. It seemed that the original heaviness of this body made the opponent particularly uncomfortable.

But it is also true, since the first night of good sleep after exchanging bodies, Tony Stark has vaguely realized that the other party is probably the type that rarely suffers from sub-health conditions such as tinnitus.Although I haven't seen Mr. Alchemist go out to exercise very often, and his thin wrists and arms are only covered with a thin layer of muscles, this body is in surprisingly good health.

If it weren't for Fury's stern warning that "every magician's body contains secrets", he almost wanted to give himself a detailed medical examination report.

Both of them seem to adapt well to the body swap, but even so, there will be various details.Just like Alphonse kept silent about Stark's headache and brain fever, Tony Stark quickly fell silent after a short shock when he found that this body was not so sensitive to pain.

—It was an accident.

His laboratory equipment is arranged according to his original height and step length, and it is always more or less difficult to change his body rashly.While walking quickly from one workbench to another, Tony Stark accidentally stepped on a length of cable, and then he lost his balance, and the corner of his forehead hit the mechanical arm that hurried over to help him.

"...Little clumsy hand, you might as well just let me fall like this."

He complained: "According to the human body structure, I should be on the ground with two hands! If it doesn't help, I will sell you!"

The mechanical arm flinched, and then brought over a piece of gauze.Tony squinted at his artificial mentally handicapped, and couldn't help covering his face: "I haven't reached this level yet! You can go online and download the treatment methods for different levels of wounds first. Hey, as an artificial intelligence, don't expect me to handle everything. teach you……"

The mechanical arm did not intend to back down after making a sound of mechanical movement, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a few seconds. Just when Tony Stark decided to say something, he suddenly realized that there was something sticky flowing from his temples. liquid.

There is a rust smell in the viscous, which is definitely not sweat.

With a tick, a cloudy and red circle dripped from the workbench.

After a moment of astonishment, Tony Stark walked quickly to a mirror. In the mirror, his blond hair was curled on the top of his forehead, and his lake green eyes were shocked—his forehead was knocked out. The small wound was dripping with blood.

—but it doesn't hurt that much.

Originally, this position was injured, and Stark, who had a lot of fighting experience in the steel suit, knew very well that it would definitely not be the vague and dull pain of today.

Putting gauze on his forehead, Tony Stark climbed up from the underground workshop in a few steps, all the way up to the ceiling, and shouted into the air: "Alphonse!"

Half a minute later, the golden-red suit fell from the sky with the roar of the engine, and landed firmly in front of Tony Stark.The outer armor of the battle suit was opened, and Alphonse walked out quickly. The first thing he saw was his own face, which was bruised and swollen—even he himself couldn't help but be surprised.

"...You said that you want to try the performance of anti-radiation missiles against decoy targets."

He asked, "How did you get hurt like this?"

This sentence was translated in Tony's ears, which probably means "I just flew in the sky once, why did you break my own body like this", he looked at the sky and the earth with a guilty conscience but didn't Look at Alphonse: "Hey, uh, I accidentally stepped on a pipe while I was in the basement, uh... can the alchemist's body be healed by normal medical methods?"

Considering that the other party may have some strange drug allergies and the strange temper of the magician, after all, the primitive Karl Modo is not even willing to drink Coke. Greet penicillin or something on the body.

Alphonse said: "As far as ordinary processing is concerned, there should be no problem...probably."

"perhaps?"

Tony asked, "You weren't hurt?"

Could it be that the diamond shield is a passive skill that is activated all the year round?

"As far as I can remember, gems have been used to heal injuries. If you don't have gems at hand, there are also some magic tricks for healing."

The alchemist looked a little troubled: "Since they are all human beings at the genetic level, human medical methods must be limited."

Well, Tony Stark nodded, so he was relieved.After procrastinating until now, the blood line from his forehead had started to trickle down to the ground. In order not to worsen the wound, he immediately turned back to the room, activated the treatment plan, and sent Pepper a message by the way.

"Stark, can't you make me less messy!"

Men are big pigs, Pepper complained fiercely about his "reckless boss" on the phone, and then quickly apologized to Alphonse through Friday's communication network, saying that Stark Industries will definitely bear the mentality caused recently For the loss, after the body exchange time is over, she will definitely come to the door to apologize in person and propose a reasonable compensation plan.

The sea breeze blew through the skirt of the shirt, and the alchemist lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the two dark red dots on the ground.Stark's villa is surrounded by a nursery that is regularly pruned. The sound of the tide pushes the waves, and the slightly salty sea breeze envelops the plants trembling in the wind.

The plants were silent, but it looked very much like the scene after being abused by Crowley.

"Mr. Alphonse?"

There was a sudden silence on the other side of the phone, and Pepper spoke suspiciously.

She heard a deep smile—from Tony Stark's voice, which even made Pepper unable to react for a while.

"So that's how it feels—you can fly in the sky without consuming mana."

Pepper:? ? ?

The author has something to say: Everyone: Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Mr. Alchemist's body is bleeding!

Alphonse (with emotion): Ah, it's so much fun to fly.
