A miracle happened in front of Tony and Pepper.

A wound that had just been cut out slowly recovered under the gaze of the two, and Ethan also deliberately handed his arm in front of the two people, so that they could feel the effect of this magic array more clearly and intuitively.

Compared with Pepper, who was still a little scared, Tony was more engrossed in observing, for fear that he would miss the slightest detail, and when Ethan's arm recovered as before, he also grabbed and observed for a long time, making sure that there was not even a scar left, and then he put down Ethan's arm with satisfaction.

"Is it so good?" After truly confirming Ethan's ability, Tony felt that his future was still so good, and unconsciously returned to his former appearance: "If that's the case, maybe I don't need to make so much preparation at all, and after I am cured, I can go back to the group to deal with those troublesome tasks." ”

Pepper knew what Tony was talking about, and he found himself today to take over the Stark Group for a while, so that he could have enough time to heal and recover.

"No, because it's a new injury, and the wound is still active enough, it's only recovering so quickly. When I remove the shrapnel for you, I will create some new wounds that will be restored immediately. As for the wound on your chest with the reactor installed, it will take quite a long time to fully recover. ”

Tony touched the reactor on his chest, the device that saved his life and was now slowly killing himself, was embedded in his body entirely, and a big hole was dug in his chest, of course, it would not be so easy to recover.

In fact, it is already fortunate to be able to cure the hidden dangers in his body, and he does not even expect to be able to recover as if he had not been injured, as long as it does not affect his normal life.

"It's okay to have a little scar, a man with a little scar is more attractive. ”

This kind of remark means nothing other than the roll of Pepper's eyes.

Ethan, who has proved himself and really gained Tony's trust, has only become Tony Stark's 'friend' at this time, and they were very wary of themselves before.

"Speaking of which, Ethan, you came to treat me on purpose, what do you want to get?"

Ethan spread his hands: "Actually, I just wanted to make some pocket money at first, you know, you can't live in this world without this kind of thing. ”

After closing the magic circle and coming out of the room, Tony poured a glass of whiskey for himself and Ethan, "So you just wanted to make some money in the first place?"

"That's right. As a result, Ethan took a sip of whiskey, and the taste was good, not as bad as he imagined: "Since you want to make money, just make a little more, and save yourself often worrying about this kind of thing." ”

"I like your idea. "One step, save a lot of trouble, in fact, Tony sometimes likes to do this, such as the time when he fought the Hulk, it was too troublesome to compensate afterwards, buy the building in advance, and you can smash your own things casually.

As for Ethan making money with himself, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, because Ethan had proven his ability, and those who were capable would always be looked up to and qualified to do whatever they wanted.

"The previous conditions remain the same, my personal health consultant, annual salary ......" Tony thought for a moment, and was not sure what price was the right one: "Do you have any requirements?"

"Including the full cost of this treatment, I want a 1% stake in Stark Group. Ethan's request can be called a lion's mouth, one percent of Stark Group's shares is not a small amount, even a few tenths of a share is enough to make a person become super-rich in an instant.

It's still a price tag that continues to create value, and as long as Ethan holds these shares, he can get a large dividend from Stark Group every year.

Tony didn't take much time to think about it, and directly agreed: "No problem, one percent of the shares, but not tradable, or if you don't want to continue to hold it, you can only sell it to me or my heir." ”

Ethan also nodded, which he didn't care: "I just want a long-term meal ticket to ensure that I don't have to worry about those little things when I live in this world." ”

He didn't even ask that his shares not be diluted, because he didn't care at all, anyway, he didn't have to worry about money after this treatment, and that was enough.

When he entered the Marvel world for the second time, he felt that he had become much more connected to this world, and maybe he would come to this world often in the future, so he would find a way to solve the problem of money, and if it was a world that left at any time and would not come back, he would not waste this time.

"The world, aren't you from this world?"

"You don't think there's only one universe, do you?"

When it comes to this kind of question, Tony is particularly interested: "Multiverse, parallel universe, or something else?"

Ethan didn't go into too much detail, and briefly introduced the concept of the multiverse.

"You're actually coming here from another world, and you're going back to your own world?"

"Yes. ”

Pepper, who had been listening to the whole time, was in a state of bewilderment, she felt that the worldview that had been built up for many years was collapsing, and the two people next to her were constantly hammering the remaining pieces into more pieces.

Ethan revealed that his identity was not from this world, in fact, it was for Anthony's heart, and he had no other intention to ask for his shares, just to make it more convenient to live in this world.

Of course, Tony understood what he meant, so the next chat between the two of them was less entangled in interests, and they just talked about topics of mutual interest.

For example, can the magic be explained by more scientific theories, and can it be reproduced by scientific means?

"Theoretically, magic is a means to control a certain energy through powerful spiritual power and achieve a certain goal of magicians based on people or other creatures themselves. Magicians have only discovered how to use energy, and science may not be able to reproduce these abilities. ”

The simplest way to light a flame, magicians use mental power to control energy to ignite a fire, or use magical energy to build a flame, the specific way may be different, but the end result is the same.

Scientists used their knowledge to make some ignition tools, and then lit a fire, which also achieved the goal.

At present, mages can do it with spells, but technology can't, so they can only go further in the use of energy.

Tony accepted this theory much more quickly, believing that Ethan was a very good scholar, completely different from his impression of the old mage who was conservative and unconventional, and even refused to admit other knowledge.

"Haven't you never met a mage, where did you get this impression?"

"Novels and Films......

"Gandalf is also a very enlightened mage. ”

"Gandalf is a Maia, strictly an attendant or lesser deity of the gods. ”

Chatting is like this, often going in the other direction, and time is also passing quickly in the nonsense, until the doorbell rings Tony remembers that the batch of gems he ordered for Ethan will be delivered at noon.

However, through the surveillance, it was seen that a man with a little hair and a black suit was standing in the doorway, this man he and Pepper both knew and had helped him before.

"Why is he here?"

Ethan also saw the surveillance footage, and the middle-aged man who looked particularly kind, he also knew, was Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This man suddenly appeared here, and Ethan thought it should be for him.

It's like Tony told him before, if it's okay, Ethan shouldn't run around, because there are a lot of people staring at Tony, including S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Why don't I get rid of him?"

Almost at the same time, Phil Coulson, who was on the surveillance footage, shouted at the door: "Mr. Tony Stark, I know you're at home, don't worry, I just want to talk to you and that new friend." ”

"It's really hard to like these guys. ”

Tony doesn't hate Phil Coulson, but he doesn't like S.H.I.E.L.D., and he's full of distrust of the institution - in fact, he lacks trust in any official agency. Therefore, he has always avoided contact with these people, even if the one-eyed dragon director personally came to the door and persuaded him to join their plan, he never nodded and agreed.

"I think let him in, or he'll keep pestering him endlessly. ”

It's best to take advantage of Tony's direct words here, and if S.H.I.E.L.D. is embarrassed, Ethan doesn't recommend causing them some minor trouble - it shouldn't be too big, at most it's the kind of thing that makes S.H.I.E.L.D. disappear from this world.

Jarvis followed Tony's orders and opened the door and let Coulson in. They also soon met this middle-aged man who was a little depressed in the living room.

"Hello, first meeting, I'm Phil Coulson of the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency. ”

"Oh my God, haven't you changed your name yet?"

"We're already in the process of doing that. ”

"It's such a hassle to change your name, that's why I don't like you. ”

"It's a little bit of a hassle, but a lot of the process is still necessary. ”

After Tony interjected a few words, he found that Coulson always smiled and responded and always looked directly at Ethan in front of him, he knew that he could only rely on Ethan himself next, of course, if the other party couldn't do anything excessive in his house, this point of self-trust was still there.

"Hello, my name is Ethan. Ethan saw that Coulson was still smiling at him, so he had to continue to introduce: "Currently serving as Mr. Tony Stark's personal health advisor. ”

"I wonder what professional advice Mr. Ethan has provided to Mr. Stark?"

The other party is testing himself, but unfortunately Ethan has never liked this kind of rounding speech, he prefers to cut straight to the point: "My job is to take the shrapnel from Tony's body more safely and effectively, and the device that is slowly killing him." ”
