Chapter 90: Ethan, the passerby who steals the show
"What the hell is this password?"
Tony was able to understand Ethan's previous train of thought, and it was indeed more convenient to put the equipment into orbit on the space station. On the other hand, there will be a lot of trouble in maintenance and replacement.
How to solve the problem of positioning and dressing also needs to be carefully considered, and various designs are compared with the advantages and disadvantages.
That's all there is to it......
"So you like this style?"
Ethan waved his hand violently: "No, I just want to see what effect it will be if you stand in the crowd and shout like this." ”
“......”
Tony was speechless, and then gave Ethan a middle finger.
Just as the two of them were joking, taking a break after a busy day, Tony suddenly received a phone call.
"Pepper?"
However, the voice on the other side of the phone was not Pepper, but a man with a thick accent.
"Tony Stark! I'm really looking forward to meeting you. ”
Barely giving Tony any time to react, the call was already hung up. Tony, who was still half-paralyzed in his chair and looked like a scoundrel, immediately changed his face, and while directing Jarvis to locate the phone, he changed into his most powerful steel armor at the moment.
The magic armor is still in the experimental stage, and it is not suitable for actual combat at this time. If it was usual, he would take it as a combat test, but when it came to Pepper's safety, he had to be cautious, and all unfamiliar weapons and equipment were abandoned, and Tony chose his most familiar and more mature works.
"I may need your help. ”
For that reason, when it comes to Pepper's safety, Tony has to be cautious, and he has always rarely asked for help, and he took the initiative to ask Ethan for help, in order to ensure that Pepper is safe and sound.
Among other things, Ethan's ability to use teleportation magic can ensure that Pepper is taken out of the danger zone in the first place.
Tony is still unclear that Ethan has not really mastered this teleportation magic for the time being, and the previous two teleportations were portals opened by the Ancient One.
But even without teleportation magic, Ethan's just-made set of equipment is enough to keep anyone safe.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure Pepper won't get hurt in the slightest. ”
Tony nodded, it was enough to have Ethan's words. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, Tony has already noticed that Ethan is a character who does what he says, and since he says so, he will definitely fulfill his promise.
"Then it's up to you, as for the guy who came out of nowhere, I'll deal with it myself. ”
The proud Tony was able to ask for help because of Pepper. As for the enemy? He doesn't need help, he has to deal with it himself.
What's more, from the sentence just now, you can know that this guy is coming for him.
"Sir, the other party is currently at the Stark Group headquarters. ”
The Stark Group has a global presence and is headquartered in Los Angeles, while the Stark Tower in New York is Tony's private property and has little to do with the group.
Pepper is currently the acting CEO of the group, and he handles official business at the headquarters every day, and as the world's largest large group, the security system is also very strong, so he never expected that someone would storm the headquarters of the Stark Group and threaten Pepper's personal safety.
"I'll go first. ”
"Let's go over together. ”
Tony had already renovated his villa, such as installing a roof that could be opened freely, so that he could fly in and out in his armor, but he couldn't figure out how Ethan was going to be with him?
Seeing Ethan brushing his chest slightly, the set of equipment that he complained about was too retro appeared on his body, replacing the original daily wear.
Ethan then put the hood on his head, and Tony was surprised to find that even though he was only a few meters away from Ethan, he could not see all of Ethan's face under the hood, only the mouth and the smooth chin, and the rest of the area was completely shrouded in darkness.
"Is this cloak used to hide identity?"
"That's not all there is to this cloak. With Ethan's words, the cloak behind him began to flutter slowly, slowly turning into a puff of burning flames.
"Oh, Shet!"
Tony was startled by the sudden burst of flames, but he was surprised to find that the flames didn't hurt anyone and didn't ignite anything in the room.
Before he could ask what the use of this thing was, he saw the flame slowly split and unfold, and finally turned into a pair of flame wings.
"Wings, don't tell me this thing can be used to fly?"
"You're not right. ”
The fully unfurled flame wings did not flutter and swing like normal wings, but maintained this shape after they were deployed, and then a powerful air stream erupted from the lower ends of the wings, propelling Ethan directly into the air.
"Shet, so this guy has been asking about the principle and details of the jet engine!"
Looking at Ethan, who had already rushed into the sky, and the mess he had caused, Tony, as a scientist, instantly understood how the pair of wings sent Ethan into the sky.
The combustion causes the internal air to expand, ejecting the expanded air from a certain position, and the strong thrust sends the object into the sky, which is a jet engine that is done by magical means.
As for how to suck air into the pair of wings and how to maintain the energy supply, these are easy to solve, and you don't even need to draw in at high speed to be able to replenish enough air, the only trouble is how to maintain the complex internal structure of the pair of flame wings for a long time, and how to protect themselves in high-speed flight.
If it weren't for the rush to save Pepper, Tony would definitely drag Ethan down, and then carefully inquire about every detail, at this time, he didn't care, and followed closely in steel armor, and flew towards the Stark Group headquarters together.
The speed of the two people was very fast, and the distance was not too far, and they soon saw the headquarters building of the Stark Group.
The residents of Los Angeles have long been familiar with the Iron Man that appears in the sky over the city from time to time, but today there are some differences, a few passers-by who looked up and wanted to take a few more glances at Iron Man were surprised to find that there was one more person in the sky, and this person's shape was particularly conspicuous.
"Oh~MY GOD!, what's that?angel?"
Some of them drew crosses on their chests in amazement, and some even prayed to Ethan, who was flying swiftly through the sky, whose large wings looked like angels from a distance.
It is difficult not to cause a sensation without causing a sensation when making such a big commotion, and Tony and Tony are still in the sky and have not reached their destination, and the images of them flying in the sky have spread all over the Internet.
Naturally, S.H.I.E.L.D. also received the news.
Iron Man or something is no longer news, what really makes Fury care is another figure.
He knew who it was, and he also knew that Tony and that person were going to rescue Pepper, and of course he knew something about what happened to the Stark Group, and he also sent his agents to the scene, in addition to quarantining the scene, there was also the task of providing support when necessary to protect Pepper from harm.
At this time, he was more curious about what the other person, the young man who must be Ethan, would behave?
"Just look at him making such a big noise, he is not a simple person. ”
Definitely not a simple person, Ethan's movements were fast and ruthless, and he used his mental power to determine the location of Pepper and the enemy, and crashed into the Stark headquarters building without slowing down.
In order to avoid being detected by the enemies inside, he did not go through the window, but chose the wall on the other side to crash into, for which he lost almost half of his energy shield.
It was the energy shield that was almost clinging to the surface of his body that allowed him to fly at high speeds, and the energy shield helped him break through the wall and knock a large man in rudimentary equipment and armed with a pair of electric whips out of the air.
“GOD!”
Pepper was startled by the sudden change, and when she came back to her senses to see the situation in the field, she found a person with huge flame wings behind her back, and she couldn't see his full face, standing in front of her.
As for the man who kidnapped himself before and notified Tony with his own phone...... It looks a little miserable hanging on the wall, looking at his spit blood and half of his body stuck in the wall, it is estimated that he will no longer threaten himself.
"Tsk, I can't help but fight, and I fell down in one fell swoop!"
If it weren't for the heavy wall that consumed a lot of kinetic energy, Ivan would have been killed directly just now.
Even so, Ivan Vanke's current situation is not good, if he is not treated in time, he may become the most tragic villain in the Iron Man world - he was killed by Ethan, who passed by and played soy sauce without even seeing the main character.
Removing the hidden magic on the hood, Ethan did not retract the flame wings behind him, but only lifted the hood to reveal his appearance.
"Tony was in the back, and he was there right away. ”
Seeing that the mysterious hooded man was Ethan, Pepper finally breathed a sigh of relief. As for the pair of flame wings, the moment they saw Ethan, they didn't think it was strange. Any strange trick a mage can use is not enough to surprise people.
"Hey, you promised to leave the enemy to me to deal with. ”
Tony flew in through the hole Ethan had crashed into, and at a glance he understood the situation and knew that the crisis had been resolved by Ethan.
"I thought you were a good man who kept his word. ”
"I'm very trustworthy and I didn't do anything extra than knock him away from hurting Pepper at the beginning. ”
Seeing Tony arrive, Ethan gathered his wings behind him, and the flames slowly dissipated and returned to a wide cloak that looked no more ordinary.
"It's just that this guy is too weak. ”
Unconsciously, Ethan's current strength is far beyond the scope of ordinary people.
