Chapter 83: Initial Consensus
Tony's mind is a bit of a mess right now, and Ethan's story almost overturns the worldview he's built up over decades.
Magic: There are a lot of secrets hidden in this world?
If you take away the magic and just say the latter, Tony doesn't think there's a problem. The more people know, the more they will find that they don't understand, although Tony Stark is a proud genius, but he also understands that there are many things that cannot be solved or even explained with existing science, and he has been working hard to study in the hope that he can unlock more secrets.
As a result, as soon as he figured out something on his side, a young man appeared over there, and directly fooled him with a magical theory that he had never understood at all, and even thought it was very ridiculous before.
Ethan waited quietly, this huge impact that almost destroyed the original world view, it did take some time to get used to, looked left and right, and he saw Captain America's shield.
"It doesn't seem to be the original. ”
I remember in the movie, when Agent Coulson came to say goodbye to Tony Stark and said that he was going on a business trip, he was surprised and said how could this thing be here? But it can be seen that there are some differences between this and the shield that Howard Stark gave to Captain America, maybe it's just a copy of Tony's own drumming? After all, that shield has a very special alloy technology on it, and it is impossible for Tony not to study it.
Other than that, there are not many things to be seen, there are a lot of things in Tony's laboratory, but they are basically all kinds of tools, and some hidden items are not placed on the surface, they should be hidden in special equipment like steel armor.
After a pause, Tony finally returned to normal, looked at Ethan again, and asked again in a tone that was not very uncertain.
"You're saying you can heal my wounds by magic?"
"To be precise, it is to use magic to protect your life, then use magic to remove the shrapnel from your body, and finally use magic to help you recover from your wounds. ”
Ethan continued to emphasize the use of 'magic', and finally added: "In fact, these can also be done with technology, but the current technology cannot guarantee that the shrapnel will not endanger your life at the same time." ”
"That's right. ”
Hearing Ethan say this, Tony knew that the other party knew his situation very well, and it also made him believe it a little.
"You mean, you can get the shrapnel out without endangering my life?"
"Of course. ”
This problem is not difficult to solve, Ethan has considered many plans before and after, and finally settled on a very simple and crude plan.
Using the magic circle to create a powerful magnetic field, it controls the shrapnel in Tony's body to concentrate at a location that will not cause fatal damage to him, and then sucks it directly out of his body.
Of course, doing so will definitely take a heavy toll on Tony's body, so it is necessary to control the strength and scope of the wound, and then use the powerful medicine that Ethan has configured during this time to treat and recover.
In order to ensure Tony's safety, Ethan also considered creating a special environment to ensure that Tony's body is in a state of continuous recovery, so as to avoid causing fatal wounds in an instant and not having time to rescue them.
Since he is going to make a move, of course Ethan has to think very carefully before he comes to negotiate the conditions, he is not the kind of person who casually runs around and fools around, and then is not responsible for his behavior at all.
"As well as you describe, I still can't fully believe it. ”
"That's normal, so I'm bringing the antidote first, which will guarantee that you won't be poisoned during this time, so you'll have plenty of time to consider whether or not to accept the deal. ”
Trading this thing, since it is to be discussed, then there is no possibility of negotiation, Ethan of course will not force Tony to do things according to his own ideas, he just provides Tony with a choice, and the power to accept or not to accept is in the hands of the other party.
As for the antidote, it should be regarded as a meeting gift! Of course, this is also because he knows that although Tony is poisonous and arrogant, he is not a guy who likes to take advantage, and he will definitely think of reciprocating himself for his own benefits, and he does not need to go out of his way to ask for benefits.
"Well, here's my number, you can call me when you have a decision. ”
Ethan had in his hand the mobile phone number that Master Daniel had prepared, and it was also the main communication tool he had been using during this time. Arthur also has one on hand, so it's easy for the two to connect.
Tony didn't take the number Ethan handed over, but wanted him to stay: "I can arrange a place for you to live, and at the same time give you the title of private health advisor first, I want to discuss with you carefully about my treatment plan in the next few days, including every detail." ”
He didn't want to leave everything to anyone else, and Tony wanted to be involved in his treatment plan so that if something went wrong, he would die in his own hands. He is a genius who has a hard time accepting to put his life in the hands of others.
Ethan thought about it, he really didn't have anything to do during this time, and he went back to continue to refine Tony's treatment plan and make some magic props, and there was no need to avoid others in the way these things were made, even if Jarvis recorded the whole process, he couldn't spy on the key.
"I need to go back and get some things, and then I'll come back to you. ”
Tony nodded, it was very reasonable, he had no reason to refuse.
But when Ethan took out the phone and said to the other side, "The matter is over, I need to go back to the New York Temple to get some things now!" After that, the aperture he had seen before appeared in front of his eyes out of thin air, and Ethan lifted his foot and stepped into the circle and disappeared, Tony suddenly felt that his home was not safe at all.
"Damn magic!"
What he wanted to do most now was to add some means of defense against magical intrusions to his villa. At this time, he was suddenly glad that he had left Ethan, so he could learn about the so-called magic in the next time, even if he couldn't learn and master it, he had to know how to deal with this mysterious power.
Ethan didn't take much time to get something, Tony was looking at the surveillance video of Ethan's arrival and departure just now, asking Jarvis to analyze the characteristics of the energy fluctuations released by the aperture, and what means should be used to block or prevent this magic from invading his residence, the aperture that gave Tony a headache appeared in front of his eyes again, and then Ethan appeared in front of him with a large bag.
"Man, I really want to blow you out of the house with one shot. ”
Ethan knew it was annoying, but he lived in New York and Tony Stark's villa was in Los Angeles, across the North American continent, and there was no way to travel back and forth so quickly without using teleportation.
"It was a bit far away to live so had to use this means. Don't worry, I won't be like this next time. ”
Ethan certainly understands the means of using the Hanging Ring to open the portal, but he didn't have the Hanging Ring and didn't learn how to use Kama Taj's magic, and Ethan couldn't open this kind of portal himself, both times it was the help of the ancient gang.
However, after clearly understanding the principle structure of the suspension ring and the use of this portal, combined with his own knowledge and rich experience in teleportation, Ethan has begun to think about a set of teleportation magic that is completely unique.
"Where did you pick up something?"
"New York. ”
Tony was stunned for a moment, and then asked uncertainly, "You mean, as long as you step through that aperture-like door, you will arrive in New York?"
"Yes. ”
"It's so convenient, man. Tony suddenly became much more enthusiastic: "Can you teach me this magic? You don't have to worry if I can't learn it, I'm very smart." ”
Ethan was a little caught off guard by Tony's enthusiasm, so he could only smile and nod: "I can tell you the general theory, but I can't guarantee whether I can learn it." ”
"No problem, as long as you know the theoretical principles, nothing can stump me. ”
Tony, who was confident in his IQ, began to doubt his IQ over the next few days.
"That's not right! It's impossible! It's not scientific at all!"
I watched as Ethan laid out a mess of plants in an intricate pattern, from which something was extracted and poured into a potion that had been prepared long ago, and an antidote to save his life was made.
His ears were filled with all kinds of magical theories, and he couldn't figure out how these plants, which had no effect on each other, could become the antidote.
The unbelieving Tony even made it his own way, and as a result, Jarvis judged to be 'extremely dangerous', and strongly advised Tony to destroy it immediately, not even if he smelled it.
"Man, that's magic. ”
Ethan discarded the raw materials that had been discarded, most of these plants were from the earth, and they were all drugs for detoxification, and Ethan's magic was to strip out the core role of 'detoxification' and add it to the antidote powder that he brought out from the dark world, and then make an antidote that could cure Tony.
It is better to say that the pharmacological effect of the plant itself promotes each other, and it is better to extract the concept of detoxification, and then integrate and strengthen it in a unique way, and finally transform it into a specific item for people to use.
This was almost the opposite of everything Tony had learned before, and it would take him some time to accept this theory, let alone understand it in a short period of time.
"Anyway, seeing these amazing things happening right in front of my eyes gives me a little more confidence in your treatment plan. ”
