Chapter 47: Avengers Base
"Disciple?"
Tony solemnly re-looked at the little girl in front of him who was dressed in 'rustic' and didn't know where she came from behind the world.
He had studied magic with Ethan, and knew how much talent Ethan possessed (and he was proud of his ability to learn those things), and the average person was simply not good enough to be Ethan's student.
Don't look at Shirley has been learning magic knowledge with Ethan intermittently, in fact, Shirley is not Ethan's disciple, because Shirley's talent is not enough, and Ethan has mastered many things Shirley can't learn at all - of course, if Shirley really wants to become Ethan's student, Ethan is not impossible, with massive resources to fill the pit.
This is because Shirley met Ethan when she was very young, and lived on Ethan's ship for a long time, almost Ethan watched grow up, and with this emotional foundation, it is nothing for Ethan to invest various resources in Shirley.
Leah's situation is completely different, Ethan is directly going to accept him as his disciple, which proves that this little girl's talent is absolutely good enough to explode.
"In a blink of an eye, you've started to accept disciples...... You're getting old, too. ”
Tony was curious about how talented Leah was, but he didn't want to ask such a question directly, as if he was jealous of the other person's talent - this was a joke, he Tony Stark would envy someone else's talent?
"I'm still young, okay...... Compared with the lifespan of tens of thousands of years or even eternity, I am still a baby at the age of a few decades. ”
Pepper rolled her eyes helplessly, because Ethan always looked like he was in his twenties, and she had to forget that this guy was not much younger than herself, but a baby who was dozens of years old...... She suddenly thought that she had also received reinforcement, and her lifespan had been quite strengthened, based on her current lifespan, she had already begun to enter old age from middle age, and now she had changed back to her girlhood?
It's fun to think about!
Especially her youthful appearance will last for a long time, and she will no longer have to worry about aging in the future.
"Eat, these dishes are going to be cold. ”
"Actually, some of the dishes are already cold, why don't I ask the chef to remake them?"
"No!"
Ethan raised his hand lightly and lightly tapped at these somewhat cold dishes, and after the glow of magic flashed, these dishes became hot again, although it was still a little different from when it was first out of the pot, but it was not enough to eat cold rice.
"Oh, this spell is so convenient, why didn't you teach me?"
"Because I couldn't use this spell so easily before. ”
It's all trick-like spells, all of which don't have any specific theories, like 'I want these cold dishes to be hot, and they're going to be hot.'" ’
All of these spells are classified as 'tricks' by Merlin, but the difficulty of casting them is not like tricks at all, and it is even more of a headache for Ethan than many large attack spells, because he can only cast them mechanically, and he can't fully understand what this thing is all about.
It wasn't until his spiritual power universe was completely firmly formed, and he had a deeper understanding of many inexplicable spells, that he could cast these 'tricks' as he wanted.
"I see, it's not like I can't study now...... That sounds really unpleasant. ”
Tony casually took a bite of the roast and then put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"I remember this steak was going to be five ripe, and now it's almost ripe. ”
"I like to be cooked. ”
Ethan won't tell this guy that he has mastered this spell thoroughly, so the details are like some half-cooked ones will be directly heated to fully cooked, and if you want to perfectly distinguish and heat them, I'm afraid it will take a while.
"I'll leave it to you. ”
He said so, but Tony put the steak in front of Leah, and he had already noticed that the little girl had been watching the steak, but she had never moved.
Looks like a bit of an introvert?
I have to say that the cute child will be welcomed everywhere, not only Tony will take care of her during meals, but Pepper Pepper Pepper has already taken Leah out to buy clothes after eating.
"Well, I brought my clothes. ”
"Those clothes don't fit into our world, and if you go out in those clothes, you're going to be stared at by a lot of people. ”
Pepper has a much higher EQ than Tony, and will never say anything like 'those clothes are torn and dirty, just throw them away!', she will only tell Leah that many places have different dress habits, and if you want to not be overly noticed, you need to learn how to fit in with the local area.
She also used Ethan as an example, he often travels in multiple worlds, and Ethan will often change his clothes according to the current world environment, don't look at the clothes he is wearing similar to yours now, he usually wears the clothes here here.
Leah nodded, Pepper's words made sense, she didn't seem to have a reason to refuse.
She doesn't have any money, though!
"This teacher of yours is rich. ”
Leah turned her head to look at Ethan, and I have to say that after Ethan gave Leah the identity of a student, Leah's worries about the unfamiliar environment became much less.
The two have nothing to do with each other, but she has to follow Ethan to a strange place, how to get along with Ethan? What the future life will be like, she doesn't know anything - no matter how sensible she is, she is still a child, and it is impossible to adjust her mentality as well as an adult.
But with this identity, Leah at least has a direction: follow the teacher to learn things!
That's the tone of her life in the future.
"Not only clothes, but everything she needs to buy back...... Oh, it's best to buy a few slightly larger ones in advance and prepare, her body grows quickly at her age. ”
"You don't need to tell me that. ”
The meal was eaten quickly, and although Tony had prepared a large table of things, there was no pressure at all to eliminate the food for the three people who were no longer normal.
The poor thing is that Leah saw that they had been eating, although she had eaten a lot, but still sat next to her, and finally Ethan took the initiative to pull Tony aside to discuss the situation of the Prometheus, and Leah breathed a sigh of relief - she had never eaten so much in her life, and there was a strange feeling of pain and happiness.
"The Prometheus is finished?"
"It's over, the appearance has basically not changed, and the internal facilities have basically been changed. ”
In addition to the reactor and engine, Tony also optimized the control system, and at the same time made some adjustments to the internal structure, in addition to the living quarters will be more comfortable to live in, because they will no longer sleep during the voyage considering Ethan, and the life circulation system has been readjusted.
"Let's not talk about food or anything, although water is very easy to collect in the universe, it still needs to be actively collected and processed in various ways. ”
The Prometheus is equipped with a water treatment device that can release a small automatic capture device to collect some solid water back into the ship while sailing, and then process it into drinkable water.
In addition to the technological treatment, Tony also built several additional purification circles to ensure that nothing unknown viruses or anything like that escaped detection - using magic to directly disassemble and reassemble the water resources, and only reconstruct the parts that are absolutely harmless to the human body into clean water, so that the nutrients in the water can be retained to the greatest extent while making it drinkable.
After all, drinking too much so-called pure water will also cause nutrient deficiency, which is also a problem that most water purification devices cannot solve.
There are no ordinary people in Ethan's team anymore, but considering that there may be new members or temporary boat riders, the transformation design is still carried out according to the needs of ordinary people.
In addition to ensuring the supply of water, some of the bottled water is also injected with nutrients, so that even long voyages do not show symptoms of nutritional deficiencies.
Tony and Hank Pym, two top scientists, plus Scott Lang, Ant-Man, who is bored to help, and Hank's wife, Janet the Wasp, almost all the questions they can think of have been considered.
The current Prometheus is a better spaceship than the original, with all the needs of long-term voyages, and after installing an energy defense shield and replacing it with a nano armor shell, the Prometheus has also changed from a pure exploration research ship to a small warship.
"I'm telling you, you'd better get the ship away quickly, or I can't guarantee that Scott won't steal the spaceship one day and drive it around the universe. ”
Since the completion of the transformation of the Prometheus, this spaceship, which can be called the first 'deep space spaceship' on Earth, has made Hank Pym's family glow green every day, staring at this ship with wide eyes every day, which forced Tony to let Harpy stay there for a long time.
In fact, if Tony hadn't gone to space for a lap, I'm afraid he would have driven the spaceship out.
"In that case, I'll go and get the ship right now. ”
"It's for the best. ”
"I'll go when I get dressed. ”
At this time, Pepper said hello and took Leah out to buy something, while Ethan had already changed into more casual clothes and pants, and then made a gesture to Tony - he didn't know where the factory of the modified ship was, and this time Tony was needed to locate and teleport.
Tony was a mage who practiced arcane energy, but he could use Kama Taj's teleportation spells, and the two of them crossed the round door and went straight to the secret factory north of New York, which was also the base of the Avengers.
