——Alchemist, a person who uses alchemy.
As for alchemy, it was a kind of mysticism in the Middle Ages that once existed in Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, Persia, ancient Greece, ancient Rome and other regions.In the dark Middle Ages, people hoped to convert other metals or other substances into gold in a certain way, which defined the narrow concept of alchemy.As for the alchemist in a broad sense, the current view is that many people believe that this is the predecessor of human beings to explore the field of chemistry.
In modern society, this is more like a concept in a novel or a game. In short, if a person stands in front of him and claims to be an alchemist, there is a high probability that he has not recovered from the second disease, or has gone crazy .
But neither the gem dealer named Alphonse himself nor Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., expressed any doubts about this identity.The jeweler will not make a judgment for the time being, as long as Nick Fury is clear-headed, he will definitely not be a person who jokes about this kind of thing.
"...so you can turn other metals into gold?"
Tony Stark opened his mouth, and finally asked a less obtrusive question.
"Yes, but not necessary."
The blond alchemist shook his head slightly: "British law does not allow metals to be turned into gold casually. It is said that doing so will cause, that..."
Lake blue eyes glanced at Nick Fury for help, so the latter continued with a straight face: "The financial market is in disorder."
"That's right, it will cause chaos in the financial market. This is the alchemist's rule."
Tony Stark: "..."
He felt that he was also going to be in chaos with the financial market.
"After inquiry, this is indeed one of the current laws in the UK that is actually implemented."
The smart housekeeper issued timely reminders to support this statement.
The impression of Britain as a country gradually became strange in his heart—according to the other party's tone, it seemed that there was still some "association" supporting him.
"Magic's confidentiality regulations are very strict. If there is a mysterious leak, the worst result is that I will even be hunted down by the association."
The blond alchemist explained: "So maybe my reaction was a little too extreme... I mean, since you are also an insider within the scope of the agreement, please keep my secret like Director Fury."
"In other words, if I don't tell anyone, I won't be subject to memory cleansing?"
Tony Stark looked at the two people present: "That's what you mean, right?"
Alphonse nodded: "Of course, if the other party is also a resident of the mysterious side—I mean, if the other party is also an alchemist or magician, you can mention me. The specific definition is very simple, after all, there should be very few people You know better than you how much science can reach."
Tony Stark was noncommittal about this little compliment, and the other party's eyes obviously didn't have much respect that matched the words. Such words were more of a businessman's habit.
It's just... After saving his memory, he still has many other things to do.
"I'm going to shut down Stark Industries' arms business."
"Then run something else ... like clean energy or something," he announced.
The disappearance of Tony Stark has already caused the stock price of Stark Industries to bow down. Alphonse is noncommittal about the decision of the arms dealer in front of him, but expresses his attitude with actions: "Kevin, help me get Stark Industries All shares were sold."
Agent: "...Good boss."
Tony Stark: "..."
There were too many slots, and he didn't know how to vomit for a while: "You also bought the shares of Stark Industries?"
"On the Internet, if you want to buy any stock for beginners, you should recommend this one."
The blond alchemist raised his eyebrows: "Although I don't know much about stocks, you can still guess that the stock will fall when an arms dealer doesn't sell arms."
"God sweetheart, are you so unsure of me?"
The title made Nick Fury's eyebrows twitch, and Agent Kevin stole a glance at him.
The arms dealer under the red sunglasses—perhaps he will no longer be an arms dealer soon—exaggeratedly sighed: "The stock price of Stark Industries will soon return to its original value."
The slender alchemist was unmoved: "Then, sell it first, and then buy it back after he announces the new direction of Stark Industries. I remember there is a word to describe this kind of operation called bargain hunting."
The clerk sighed: "Boss, where did you learn the technical terms?"
At the beginning, this guy obviously didn't even have the habit of using a mobile phone, like a person who traveled from the Renaissance era.
"Well, stay tuned."
Tony Stark shrugged: "A brand new Stark Industry. I am also a nominal consultant of S.H.I.E.L.D. As a colleague, please give me more advice. Maybe I will have a chance to treat you to a meal and chat with me after this turmoil passes. Talk about those magical gems and some business experience... After all, we are all businessmen, aren't we?"
Good-looking people have no gender, and this store manager looks particularly pleasing to the eye.So what did it matter that he was an alchemist?
This time, the agent who had been shrinking his sense of existence finally looked at him again in disbelief.
After leaving the jewelry store in full, Nick Fury, who had endured for a long time, finally started to get angry: "Although Stark, I don't know what your plan is, and I don't want to care about your private life, but this He is an alchemist with a very... style, an expert in solving mysterious things, please don't extend your entertainment to him."
"As a businessman, I think we will have a lot of common language."
Tony Stark blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, 21st century occultism, I can't pass this up.
"You also know, that guy's words."
Nick Fury warned without expectation: "The difference between these people and ordinary people is bigger than you think. The attempts of SHIELD for so many years are just to maintain the minimum communication and cooperation. I hope you don't break it." It's a rare balance."
"Of course, this is a private relationship between me and Mr. Alphonse."
Tony Stark closed the car door and said one last sentence before rolling up the window: "And, Tony Stark, was never 'normal'."
There are many strange qualities in this jewelry store owner.For example, those blue-green eyes that can make people stiff and immobile, and those strange and expensive gemstones.Another strange world showed its corner with Alphonse as its origin. Unlike the arms business of Stark Industries all over the world, the blond alchemist's storefront was so low-key that it was hard to notice.
Next, he has to face a press conference explaining the future direction of Stark Industries, and after that, there will be a research and development project based on palladium metal.This chat with the alchemist store manager has taken up all of his recent free time, and the information revealed by the other party has obviously exceeded his own expectations.
Alchemists, the Society of Magic, the link between science and the occult, and the principles of occult secrecy.
The power to bring a dying wounded back from the brink of death, and a power that even Nick Fury is somewhat in awe of.
Inside the store, the clerk tried hard to reduce his presence, but was still called by his store manager.
"It's already sold anyway..."
Alphonse sighed softly: "Fortunately, most of the rubies are used to store magic power, and this one is used to save people."
"I'm sorry, manager!"
The detective's face turned pale, and he couldn't afford to sell it at this price: "I promise that I will never..."
"Nobody ever goes wrong, Kevin."
When he heard the blond store manager call his name, he didn't show any anger: "Starting tomorrow, you will welcome a new colleague."
"Even if I get fired... what?"
The agent's eyes widened. He knew what the other person's words meant, and perhaps his S.H.I.E.L.D. agent level would be raised accordingly: "You mean..."
"After all, I still need a living person to help here."
Alphonse raised his mobile phone at his clerk: "Nick Fury just sent a message that the work of supervision has been officially replaced by the artificial intelligence provided by Stark."
At the same time, Nick Fury was also returning to Stark's news in his car, and the news from the other party made him feel even more headache after his already heavy work.
"If I were to complete the new monitoring system of the Edfield Jewelry Store, I would complete the defense program that had been put on hold for eight months."
