Chapter 88: Tony's Proposal

"The world has never changed, and just because you didn't know it didn't exist doesn't mean it didn't exist. ”

Ethan casually replied to Fury's words. One of the most annoying things about S.H.I.E.L.D. is that they always feel like they have the truth, but it turns out time and time again that they don't know anything, like most people.

Strictly speaking, the fact that they don't know as much about this world as the Hydra that lives inside S.H.I.E.L.D. leaves many speechless.

"Tony, how are you feeling?"

Tony's face was a little pale, it wasn't blood loss or any other symptom, it was just pain. It wasn't a very comfortable experience to let shrapnel burst out of his body again and again, and Tony's ability to stay awake until now is a testament to how resilient his spirit is.

"No problem, even if I put on the armor and go kill the villains now. ”

Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Ethan knew that he could hold on, and that the saddest level had been passed, and the next task was to dismantle the reactor in his chest.

This job is not difficult, even an ordinary person like Ethan who does not understand high-tech can complete it without hindrance under Tony's guidance.

However, the work was handed over to a robotic arm controlled by Jarvis, and Ethan began the second step of treatment.

The small wounds caused by the fragments that were enough to maintain the magic array before would not leave scars on Tony's body except for making him feel pain again and again.

The wound on his chest was different, because a foreign object was forcibly stuffed in, and it was placed for a long time, the big hole in his chest wanted to be completely repaired, and it would take a lot of time to rely on this magic array alone, in order to speed up the process, Ethan prepared a lot of medicines.

It was a recovery potion that was brought out of the biochemical world and optimized for Tony's symptoms.

"Are you sure this thing doesn't have the side effects you mentioned earlier?"

Ethan and Tony had introduced the origin of this thing in detail, and he also knew that the main material of this potion was a biochemical virus stock solution, which was extracted and purified by Ethan's magic technology to remove various side effects.

He had observed other animals before, and the recovery effect was indeed amazing, but the thought of this thing being injected into his body was still a little apprehensive.

"You don't need to use it, it's just that it takes longer to recover. ”

Tony thought of the months he would have to spend in bed, gritting his teeth and motioning to Ethan to continue: "Give me a shot!"

With the robotic arm completely dismantling the reactor in his chest, leaving Tony with the terrifying hole in his chest, Ethan pressed the syringe gun in his hand against Tony's body and pulled the trigger.

The potion began to work the moment it entered Tony's body, and Ethan once again used the Book of Inheritance to construct a new magic circle, guiding the potion to heal Tony's wounds, while also carrying out a thorough 'cleansing' of his body.

Although most of the shrapnel was sucked out by the machine, some of the powder still remained in the body, and these tiny particles would not pose a threat to life, but it was not a good thing to remain all the time, so Ethan gathered these things and expelled them from Tony's wound.

As the large hole in Tony's chest gradually closed and disappeared, some pus had accumulated in front of him, emitting a very unpleasant smell.

"Oh, Shet, what the hell are these!"

"Thank me, Tony!" Ethan pointed to the foul-smelling mass, "This includes all the toxins left in your body, I helped you clean it up, and the inside of your body is much cleaner than most people." ”

The so-called toxins include substances that are harmful to the human body, such as drug residues. The human body has a detoxification function, but with age or the decline of physical condition, this function will slowly deteriorate, and the accumulation of 'toxins' in the body will naturally become more and more.

"Oh, no wonder I feel so much lighter all over my body. ”

"It's just a psychological effect, and removing such a little residual poison will not make your body change drastically. ”

"Now I feel like you're more of a scientist than I am. ”

"It's also your delusion. ”

The planned steps were successfully completed, and Tony continued to lie on the bed, enjoying the golden magic to recover his body, and Ethan also did not stop his magic, and conducted a second round of testing to avoid any residual problems.

At this time, Pepper and the others had already walked to the bed, seeing that the big hole in front of Tony had disappeared and returned to its normal appearance, except for the new growth part and the surrounding skin color was a little different, it was almost impossible to see that Tony had such a serious injury.

"It's incredible. ”

Although I have already sighed, but when I look at it up close, I still feel that what happened today is really unbelievable.

Fury stared at Ethan, who was holding the Book of Inheritance, and he watched the young man hold a book that could keep appearing strange patterns, and then created this miracle.

This young man changed his perception of the world and learned that magic was real.

Although it is not clear what the magic strength of this young man is, but judging from all this today, it can be judged that he has at least mastered abilities far beyond ordinary people, and I am afraid that he cannot be dealt with by just a few agents.

In addition, this young man has a good relationship with Tony Stark, seeing that he deliberately asked for one percent of Stark Industries' shares as compensation, obviously to facilitate his own life, it can be inferred that he does not rely on his special abilities, but has strange ambitions for this world, but prefers to live a normal life in a stable world. In a way, this man is on the same side as S.H.I.E.L.D.

"You can pull it in. ”

He doesn't need to do this kind of work himself, his subordinates will do it better than him - which is why he deliberately brought Coulson with him.

"It's good to see you healed, Tony. He reached out and shook Tony's hand, congratulating him on his recovery: "I thought you needed some of our help, but now it seems that it is not necessary. ”

Fury deliberately looked at his watch and said that he still had something to do: "When you're almost recovered, I hope you can take a time to meet with me, I have something I want to talk to you about alone." ”

Originally, he wanted to wait for Tony's condition to be more critical before handing him Howard's things, but now it seems that he can only play this hand early in order to maintain a good relationship with Tony.

He also came to Ethan: "In the same way, I also hope that Your Excellency will take some time to talk to me alone. ”

"There will be a chance. ”

Ethan did not refuse Fury's invitation, as an existence with special abilities, he has to contact this guy sooner or later in this world, he is too lazy to do it when he is hiding or something, it is better to see what conditions the other party will make to win him over, anyway, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't help him.

"It seems that the Cosmic Cube is in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., if only it could be studied. ”

There should be little hope for a short period of time, but it can be used as a long-term investment.

Watching Fury walk away, Ethan looked back at Pepper, who was helping Tony wipe the dirt off his body, and at the two people standing in front of the bed and playing various jokes with Tony.

"It looks like I'm doing a good job. ”

After magic detection, mental power examination and various instrument testing, Tony no longer has any hidden dangers on his body, he doesn't even look like an injury that has just undergone major surgery now, and various test data show that he is healthier than most people, which is the effect of the magic array. The only consumption was the mental wear and tear caused by the previous process of removing the shrapnel.

"Here's one!"

The cigarettes were gone, the cigars were still some, and Ethan's cigars would also stimulate physical recovery, which was just right for Tony's current situation.

"Is this a Victory cigar?"

It seems that here in North America, there is a habit of giving cigars when things like winning and giving birth to a son, which is a kind of celebration? Ethan doesn't know very well, and the success of the operation is something to celebrate anyway.

"Sort of, this thing can restore some of the lost spirit, and at the same time, it can also make your body recover faster. ”

"Oh?

Tony didn't want to smoke it, but wanted to study it, even though he knew that it was difficult for him to understand this kind of magic-made thing, but he couldn't suppress the thought.

Roddy and Coulson also received one, which was supposed to be an ordinary celebration, but when they heard the effect, they both felt the urge to leave the thing behind.

Ethan rolled his eyes speechlessly: "If this thing is not stored with special props, it will slowly lose its effect." ”

Hearing him say this, several people began to smoke in the room together.

As Ethan closed the magic array, the magic light that filled the entire room gradually dissipated, the gems on the magic array had turned into ashes, and the pattern of the magic array originally carved on the ground had become dilapidated and could no longer be used - the magic array that could be used repeatedly for a long time was more complex in construction and carving, and there was also a certain demand for materials.

Pepper saw the state of several people, and Tony, who was talking and laughing with a few people, knowing that the matter was over, and the biggest trouble that bothered Tony had been solved, Pepper, who was in a happy mood, completely relieved her heart, and rushed to the Stark Group to deal with the accumulated official business after saying goodbye to a few people.

He was followed by Coulson, then Roddy, and finally only Tony and Ethan remained. At this time, Tony made a suggestion that made Ethan very excited.

"In the next period of time, the Stark Group will announce that my surgery was successful and that I will stay at home to recuperate, so I can't go anywhere. Instead of wasting time, let's work together on how to merge technology and magic?"
