[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Chapter 47

If you don't add money, according to what you know about an unnamed alchemist in the past two years, the other party is completely capable of going home on the spot and leaving him alone.

"As long as it is estimated that this incident will not cause a large-scale disaster, it can be regarded as nothing happened." The blond jeweler, who looks very kind and talkative, is completely able to change his previous friendly face when the money is not enough to default , people can't help but think carefully, how much of the other party's enthusiasm for saving the world-if that earnestness and strategizing can be counted as enthusiasm-is really sincere, and how much is based on the face of money .

Tony Stark crossed his arms, watching the blond gem merchant transfer the newly arrived money directly, and the bank account information of the other party flashed across the phone screen, but he still knew the name, Marisby Leigh Animsfia, the Lord of the Clock Tower's Astronomy Department, also has the title of Lord, although he has never met him, but the other party obviously has the full trust of Alphonse, otherwise he would never give up almost everything All the postures are to hand over most of the profits to the opponent.

It's just... Warm brown eyes narrowed. In the field of vision, Alphonse was discussing with the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. about where Sol would go next. After all, a prince of Asgard couldn't stay in New Mexico directly. On the wilderness where no eggs were laid, he stood upright without any body movements when he spoke. I don’t know if it’s because the people he talks to always make a fuss. Alphonse is used to standing and sitting like an oil painting on the wall.

Animsfia, Bathmelo, Edelfelt, he knows that each of these names has its meaning, but the blond gem dealer tells everyone around him with his calm determination People don't have to watch these things, nor are they allowed to watch them.

Otherwise, the too far-reaching line of sight will be cut off inadvertently, just like the astronomer lady who was gently sent out today, unknowingly forgetting that little trace of mysticism.

"Mr. Stark?"

The gem merchant who felt the gaze turned his head, his lake green eyes were vivid and moist: "Did you just want to say something?"

"Uh, no, I mean."

Tony pointed to Sol who was still wearing a hospital gown and hadn't changed his clothes: "That big guy, he might have dinner."

The son of Odin, who still hadn't given up Mjolnir, made an empty stomach sound at the right time, but he still insisted: "I have to take my hammer away..."

"It's okay, you can try another place slowly."

Alphonse waved his hand at the pile of sand and stones weighing at least two tons. Under the glow of magic power, they were recompressed in a garnet and returned to the palm of the alchemist.

"It's incredible no matter how many times I watch it."

Tony Stark sighed: "Newton's coffin boards are going to be overwhelmed."

"And Einstein has to be added."

The little clerk nodded in agreement: "But I'm getting used to it, the boss can always do such unimaginable things."

"Here, it's more convenient for you to hold it like this."

The jeweler put the vermilion garnet in Sol's hand: "It's triggered, Mjolnir will leave it to you, just find a suitable place and throw it on the ground hard."

"Wow, amazing atrium magic."

Sol put away the gem and exclaimed, "This is so convenient."

"You're welcome, I am also honored to be able to do business with Asgard."

Alphonse showed an innocent smile, and now Stark can be sure that this expression is definitely for his business use: "I will ask Master to mail the bill to Odin."

Sol: "..."

Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D.: "..."

Well, they can't expect too much from Alphonse.

The eldest prince of Asgard quickly accepted the fact. After all, the son of Odin really can't take someone else's magic dress without paying, but he still wants to bargain: "Can you wait until I return to Asgard?" Paying you? I mean, don't get my father involved..."

Alphonse looked at Thor's expression that he might be domestically abused when he returned home without love, and considering Loki's accusation against the father of the gods, he suddenly felt that this extremely superb god king in the Lune school might indeed Not very good at raising children: "Well, I'm not bad. I can almost carve most magic formulas into gems. If you buy more, I can give you a discount in the future."

"Hey, you're not so quick to sell it to me!"

Tony Stark protested: "I pay on the spot every time, and I never owe you any money!"

"But you don't have magic power, at best you can be regarded as a occultist."

The alchemist looked at him seriously: "Without sufficient ability to resist disaster, it is really no good to dabble too much in mystery... Believe me, no one would be willing to struggle with money, refer to your ability to pay, My suggestion is really pertinent."

Alphonse had a regretful expression, sincerely feeling sorry for missing a big client.

It has to be said that even though modern technology has caught up with mysticism in all aspects, and there is a tendency to go hand in hand or even slightly surpass it, but in terms of transportation and travel, teleportation is still the most convenient first choice.

The gem dealer quickly returned to New York with a group of people. Considering that they were bringing the crown prince of Asa, the smart butler soon booked a place on the top floor of the hotel for Alphonse and others.

The grand piano played a melodious harmony, and the alchemist sat familiarly on the seat next to Tony Stark, raised his knife and fork to slowly eat the well-prepared appetizers, tonight's menu list has masai fish Soup, the restaurant's high ratings also make it something to look forward to.

As a result, with a bang, Sol raised his hand and broke a glass.

He swung his neck and drank the wine in the glass, shouting loudly: "Another!"

Tony Stark: "..."

The hotel seat seems to be reserved in his own name.

The soft piano background music immediately played a wrong note, and the pretty girl who worked in the hotel shrank her hands in surprise, then quickly glanced at Tony Stark, lowered her head and continued to play stumblingly.

In the sight of everyone's shock, Sol had already finished his appetizer, and raised his hand to smash his white porcelain plate.If Tony Stark was shocked by the first crack of the glass, his current mood is nothing but numbness.The businessman with a mustache glanced at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and wondered if this is the rough style of Asgard. If this Viking muscular man is the next heir to the throne of Asgard, then he really We have to change our way of thinking to consider what kind of creature God is.

While thinking this way, he reached out and held Sol's arm: no need, really no need.

As if unwilling to expose his ability in front of the crowd, Alphonse asked the waiter in a low voice to collect the broken porcelain and glass pieces for him, and promised to return the same tableware to the hotel the next day. Looking at him, Tony Stark could only put on the signature expression of "this is a secret" and show a mysterious smile, indicating that this is a new technology that Stark Industries has not yet officially announced. It is guaranteed that the hotel will not lose these exquisite tableware, which are called works of art.

……

a few hours later.

Sol was directly sent back to SHIELD, and before Alphonse figured out some new way to send him back to Asgard, the Norse god was temporarily asked to stay in SHIELD authorities.Considering that even Tony Stark, who has always been reckless, made an evaluation of him as "having no common sense in society", Nick Fury ran to the Stark Industrial Building in person, intending to talk to Al Feng Si discussed again and discussed whether the money was not enough, so the other party didn't come up with a good plan for a while.

…Maybe if the money is in place, this guy can directly dig out a gem to pack Sol and his brother and throw them back to Asgard. As a result, I still hope that the strength of the alchemist still has an upper limit.

Otherwise, an extremely powerful friend with an unclear attitude and just giving money is also worthy of vigilance, especially because they have no idea where these large expenditures that far exceed normal expenses go.

As a result, when he was fully prepared and walked into the gate of the underground laboratory, he saw Alphonse and Tony Stark chanting words around a pile of broken porcelain and glass shards.

Fury: "..."

In fact, he should be used to it.

After all, no one can fathom the mood of the alchemist, but he clearly understood the origin of those porcelain fragments in the report.

He coughed dryly and tried to stir up the topic, but Tony uttered disgust: "I should take back your permission to enter the lab, Fury, I said don't bother me when I'm working."

"If 'that' wasn't here, I really wouldn't want to see you Stark at all."

Nick Fury meant something, he was too lazy to play Tai Chi with Tony Stark, and asked bluntly: "Alphonse, if you add more money, can you quickly solve the problem of Sol and Loki staying on Earth? That guy didn't know anything about it at all, and he just tried to pull out his hammer every day, and even the detective in charge of surveillance was about to slow down his work."

His tone paused: "...Also, what are you doing now? I've already heard about what happened today."

"You caught up with Professor Alphonse's mysterious science popularization."

Tony Stark said: "He just said that this may explain the cause of Thor's behavior and personality. I want to find out what is the reason for this stupid big man to break things when he comes up."

There were two "students" present, and both Tony and Fury had the most basic understanding of occultism.Alphonse succinctly stretched out his hand towards a pile of glass shards, and as the magic power overflowed from his fingertips, the glass shards and broken porcelain scrambled, and under the watchful eyes of the two, the shattered pieces were spliced ​​together one by one Together, two white porcelain plates and a glass were finally made up, the sections were smooth and round, intact as before.

"Whoa, am I witnessing a partial time reversal or a reduction in entropy? Either way is amazing."

Stark applauded Alphonse: "Superb skills."

The praised alchemist showed a shy expression: "...This is actually the knowledge that a magician needs to master when he gets started. The restoration of broken glass is usually a basic course used to teach students how to control magic power."

He picked up a marker pen from the table and began to write and draw on the whiteboard that Tony kept in the basement.

"The situation in Asgard is different from that on Earth. God Asa is a race where all people have magic power, and even all people have a high-concentration magic power core—that is, the god core. That is to say, their technological progress route will definitely be Propelled forward with the use of magic power."

Alphonse drew a stickman on the whiteboard and put a small circle on the heart: "The essence of occultism is interconnected regardless of race, so for Saul, breaking the cup is not a big deal Things, because repairing the glass may be a simple thing that a servant in charge of cleaning can do. And the civilization developed based on this cognition, when the interest comes, it may just be a matter of listening to a ring..."

"Al, I'm not here to listen to frivolous stuff."

Fury interrupted the other party's explanation, directly took out a check with no number filled in from his arms, and pushed it in front of Alphonse along the sideline of the metal table: "Find a way to end the throne dispute in Asgard, or Just let them go back to their country to fight, in short, don't bring war and trouble to the earth."

"...Good sir, thank you for your generosity."

Alphonse collected the check in a good manner: "I will follow your request, and I will talk to Sol and Loki as soon as possible."

Fury's eyebrows twitched, you see, it's easy to talk if you have a check to open the way.The gem merchant's attitude made him feel that "this matter is finally on the horizon", and the rest are all complicated emotions: this kind of bounty hunter is better than those who don't even want to make money. people are better...

"What's going on with Mjölnir? What happened to Asgard? Why can't even Thor himself pick up Thor's hammer?"

Fury raised a question. Judging from Odin's attitude of throwing his son into the atrium, the earth is not a defense for Asgard at all. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand the movements and thoughts of these Asgar gods.

Alphonse rolled his eyes, and felt that there was no need to avoid Stark talking about these things alone, so he directly told a story in the underground laboratory of the Stark Industrial Building... Sol beat the Frost Giant but failed, and was punished for his mistake. The story of the king of the gods thrown down the atrium.

In this regard, Fury: "... Is the atrium a place of labor reform for them?"

"Who says it's not? Anyway, Odin sincerely hopes that his eldest son can grow up here."

Alphonse shrugged: "Besides, losing his divine power is already considered a prison for him. There is not much difference between a cage the size of a room and a cage the size of the earth."

The gods promised to bless this land thousands of years ago, in exchange, they are revered as gods by humans, and the disadvantage caused by the too short-lived race is that most humans today no longer believe the promises of the gods , Even "whether God really exists" has created doubts.

Fury was about to leave with full of worries, but Tony asked several questions curiously:

"Al, are you really so short of money?"

When the other party saw the check, his eyes lit up, which completely changed the image of an alchemist who was strategizing in the past.

"I'm not like you, I don't have any expenses and I own a whole Stark Industries."

Alphonse said this in a tone of no envy. He sincerely felt that the Iron Man suit was not a terrible expense. Compared with the bottomless Animusfia, the daily maintenance cost of Iron Man It can only be said that the insignificance is insignificant.

"Then if there is any other part-time job that can make money without wasting your time or selling gems?"

He tried to ask: "Alphonse, what do you think?"

"It depends on how much it costs and what to do. It takes a lot of effort to maintain the magic workshop and prepare the magic formula on weekdays."

Alphonse replied: "In addition to that, we have to consider the utilization rate of time."

To be honest, after considering his current career and salary, he once thought of debuting as a star, but these are not as fast as the wool from S.H.I.E.L.D. What celebrities or ordinary businessmen can be satisfied.

It seems that he is really short of money. Warm brown eyes are looking up and down at the blond alchemist. This person is so good in the mysterious field that everyone around him is in awe, but he always thinks of what he saw in the days when he switched bodies. In the short dream that I got, the moist bearded green eyes of the young Alphonse.

The pupil color of the Edfelt family should have been close to him. Crowley said that the experience of getting along with the goblin changed the trajectory of his entire life, but the other party kept secret about the trajectory, only saying, "If If I were to tell you this, Aziraphael would be very angry."

"I can only say that those who are really in charge of the mysterious side know that the matter about Alphonse is their tacit secret."

The demon revealed its golden snake pupils, as if a poisonous snake spit out a letter, exuding an astonishing bewitchment.Tony Stark turned his head. The gem dealer seemed to be calculating how many usable gems he still had in his hands. A little bit of brilliant gemstone section was revealed between his fingers, with distinct joints and long and thin fingers.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he didn't know where the courage came from and asked:

"Then, in the future, if I pay you to have dinner with me, is that okay?"

Hearing this sentence, Nick Ferreira paused when he opened the door, frowned and planned to criticize Stark for not thinking too much. Alphonse thought for a while and gave an affirmative answer:

"Okay."

Fury: "..."

So this guy is so short of money? ?

When Alphonse finally had a chance to return to the New York Temple, he saw Karl Modu holding an ash staff in his hand, confronting... a black cat like a big enemy.

Strictly speaking, it should not be considered a strictly black cat, because the paws and the tip of the tail are still white.

"How is this going?"

Alphonse whispered to Wang who was watching the play with folded arms: "What's wrong with Modu?"

As we all know, what happened to the big brother, what happened to the big brother, why is the big brother angry again, these have been the three quality questions of the magicians who have troubled the origin of Weishandi for many years. "It's even more difficult.

"It's not the one you brought back."

Wang pouted at one person and one cat in the confrontation: "The god of tricks, Rocky Odinson, after he was completely sober, he seemed to want to explore the New York temple, but he didn't know what was going on with him. Modu had a conflict, and then touched the defensive technique of the New York Temple... and then it became like this."

——There is too much content omitted before the last "then"!

The black cat's hair was all blown up, its back arched high, its tail stood straight up, its claws scratched the ground and breathed out at Modu, who was shaking his wrists with ash wood wand: "You This damn evil god! How dare you defile the New York Temple..."

Alphonse: "..."

Judging from the current situation, both sides have their own problems, but Modu is more sick. This guy's observance and execution of the rules has reached the point of being picky, and the lake green eyes glanced at this now ancient man. A senior brother of a sorcerer, Alphonse suddenly understood the reason why Gu Yi refused to delegate the position of supreme sorcerer to him.

Alphonse walked forward quickly and picked up Loki. It was obviously not the first time that the other party became an animal, and he was very well adapted to the four-legged landing.The black cat followed Alphonse's arm all the way to his shoulder, and pricked his ears and said, "It's all about you, an ant in the courtyard! Don't think that you third-rate magicians can threaten me...you are just borrowing It’s nothing more than the defensive technique of the temple! If you have the ability to go out and fight, I will let you beat ten of you with one hand!”

Alphonse: "..."

He pinched the back of the black cat's neck: "You should also calm down for a while, knowing that Modu is an old man, you still have to get angry with him."

Loki pursed his mouth and said nothing, Wang, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly felt that it was rare to see so many complex expressions on a cat's face.Taking advantage of Alphonse's turn, Loki stretched out a white paw in the direction of Mordo, and then erected the long nail in the middle of the paw. The whole movement was smooth and smooth, and successfully made Karl Mordo's anger index break through. limit.

The master brother of the temple raised his hand and clenched his fist in the air. The gold-colored magic power gathered to form a growth whip, and with a sound of piercing through the air, he pulled it down obliquely in Loki's direction, and then... hit Alphonse's side On the invisible diamond shield.

... The defensive technique on this guy is open all the year round, and Modu reacted, even if he targeted Loki, because the size of the black cat is too small, the gem that senses maliciousness will still automatically trigger the magic power Shield to intercept.

Alphonse turned his head slowly, his face was full of disbelief that "Modu you attacked me unexpectedly".

"No, uh, that, I didn't mean to attack you..."

One of the traits of the big brother of the temple is that his mouth clumses when he is nervous. He pointed to the black cat lying on Alphonse's shoulder: "It is it! I was planning to attack him."

Alphonse's expression is even more intriguing: "But he has already compressed his divine core to the extent that the temple's defensive spells can't catch it, and his magic power is not much higher than that of an ordinary person. In terms of combat power, he is completely like an ordinary cat." ...Mo Du, why are you so fussy?"

Karl Modu: "..."

He felt despised.

The green eyes of the black cat met Modu's sight, and the whole cat's face put on a mocking look, making Karl Modu secretly swear: Don't let me meet you alone!Otherwise, the next meeting will be your death date!

Loki drooped his paw without any fear: Come on, third-rate atrium magician, maybe you will be dead for hundreds of years by the next time I think of you.

Alphonse: "..."

He snapped his fingers immediately, and teleported back to his jewelry store with the black cat Loki.The clerk was sorting out the documents, and when he heard the noise behind the house, he greeted him habitually: "Boss, are you back? There is tea on the table, I just made it."

There was the sound of pouring hot water from behind, followed by the sound of flipping through.As soon as the clerk turned around, he saw a black cat on the gem display case next to his boss. The cat stretched its paws comfortably, found a suitable place on the glass display case, curled up and snored.

"Ah, let me introduce, this is His Royal Highness Loki, the Second Prince of Asgard."

Alphonse pointed at the black cat, and the other party looked at the clerk very cooperatively, with a very haughty "kneel down" expression.

Clerk: "..."

He now feels that his degree of confusion has increased exponentially.

If there are two heirs of a country, the eldest prince is a manic patient who lacks social common sense, and the second prince is a cat... what will the future of this country look like.

He simply thought about it based on the experience of Kings Storm 2, and felt that Asgard was going to end.
