Stark, who was dressed in black, chattered a lot, most of them scolding Strange, which made Stark unable to fix it.

Could it be that the Supreme Mage of this universe is the enemy? Otherwise, why does this clone of Iron Man grit his teeth when he mentions this name?

Stark was a little unsure, because Dr. Schiller from the sanatorium had told him that Strange had asked him to go to the Holy of Holies, which meant that the Supreme Mage was not an enemy, but a teammate.

Now, the rhetoric of the two sides conflicts, but Stark still prefers Dr. Schiller's statement, after all, it is not impossible for aliens with cloning ability to be spies and sow discord, and Stark does not trust aliens at all.

Thinking of this, Stark comforted the clone on the other side, and after sending him away, Stark hesitated, but still said, "Jarvis, help me prepare the car, I'm going to the Holy of Holies of Holies of Holies." ”

Now, Stark has a special affection for this world, and if this world is really the headquarters of Spider-Man, then, even for the sake of these Spider-Men, he needs to do something to make tragedies not happen again and again.

Stark decisively stood up from his chair, took a deep breath, then moved his body in the open space of the laboratory, and said to Jarvis, "Which suit do you think I should wear?" ”

"Are you going to wear a suit?"

Stark was confused by Jarvis's rhetorical question, and suddenly he felt a little weak, could it be that the Iron Man of this universe doesn't like to wear suits?

But it's not good to say, he can be generous enough to let an alien in his base freely, and there is nothing he can't do.

Stark thought, the Iron Man of this universe is really big enough, if he doesn't tear off the big bomb in his chest, he will make a mess of his mobile phone interface, and let aliens move here, how strong is this psychological quality, and he can endure so many unsafe conditions around him at the same time?

Soon, the shuttle stopped on the platform on the roof of Stark Tower, and under Jarvis's instructions, Stark stepped into the shuttle again.

While waiting for the shuttle to arrive at its destination, Stark was bored and turned on his mobile phone again, intending to see what all the messy software was, only to find that there were not only spider apps, but also octopus apps and lizard apps, as well as all kinds of strange software.

Stark's hand paused, and he whispered, "Well, I'm not an old hat who doesn't know the rules, so I won't make a lot of trouble for someone to wipe my ass." ”

Soon, the shuttle arrives at the site, and Stark steps out of the hatch and stands stunned on the streets of New York.

He glanced back at the shuttle that had flown away, then turned his head to look at the somewhat familiar street scene, and said blankly, "Is this in the wrong place?" Isn't this Wall Street? ”

"Sir, turn right 200 meters ahead, and the staff of the Holy of Holies have been notified to pick you up at the door."

Why is the Holy of Holies on Wall Street?!!

Stark wanted to roar again, and he calmed down in place for a long time before following Jarvis's instructions.

After walking about 200 meters, he saw an employee in a suit and tie, who looked like an insurance salesman, standing at the door of a building that looked like a bank, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Stark, the Supreme Mage has been waiting for you for a long time."

Stark followed him forward, looking at his neat suit, looking up at the exterior of the building that resembled a Wall Street bank, and then reading the word Supreme Mage in his mouth, he always had a bad premonition.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Stark felt more familiar, with a counter on the right hand and a window on the left, and the whole interior of the building was filled with a kind of modern financial delicacy and arrogance, to put it simply, isn't this a bank?!

The staff led Stark to the counter to register, and then walked up the central staircase, and as soon as he got upstairs, Stark knew that he was wrong about them—this was not a bank, it was an insurance company.

As soon as he stepped on the steps of the second floor, Stark only heard a "buzz", a huge sound came to his face, Stark was shocked and took a step back, and then listened to the words interest rate, tax rate, share, loan and so on around his ears.

Stark had to cover his ears with his hands before he could barely climb to the second floor, he thought, the Supreme Mage does need to be disguised when he lives in the human world, but isn't his disguised location a little too noisy? Is this the so-called big hidden in the city?

Within two seconds, his speculation was overturned, as Strange, dressed in a crisp haute couture suit, walked out of the office, stood in front of everyone, clapped his hands vigorously, and shouted, "Guys! Our turnover this quarter - another record high!! ”

"Wow!"

"Oh yes!"

"Great!!"

"Woohoo—"

The cheers almost knocked Stark off again, and at this moment, Strange stretched out a hand, made a stop gesture in command, and held out a finger again, saying, "The number of innovations in magic is still the same—a new high!! ”

There was a "boom", and another round of enthusiastic cheers, Stark felt that he really couldn't stay any longer, and the supreme mage of this world was probably crazy!

Just as he turned to leave, Strange suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Look at it! Isn't this our greatest genius in the whole world, Tony Stark? Let's listen, what is the number of scientific research and innovation achievements in this quarter? How long has it been since he has been able to produce new results? ”

Stark turned past and stopped, straightened his suit and turned it around again, walking briskly to Strange and pausing.

Stark then discovers that Strange does have a smug smile on his face, and that he did it on purpose.

Stark took a deep breath, but Strange said with some inadequacy: "I admit that there have been a lot of achievements on the technology side before, but that is history, and the future of mankind lies in magic." ”

"Yes, yes, I know what you're going to say." Strange preemptively said before Stark could speak, "Magic can't be systematically educated, it's all about talent, oh my God, when did that happen?" ”

"Look what this is." Strange pulled a wand out of his suit-lined pocket and said, "That's right, it's a wand, just like I've told you several times, it's a small wooden stick that you describe as very rudimentary, and can make ordinary people like you perform magic at will." ”

"Indeed, systematic education on the science and technology side is very powerful." Strange looked up, shook his head again, and said, "But how long does it take for a person to get a Ph.D.?" Even if you want to learn to drive, it will take at least a few months. ”

"But the essence of magic is to make your wishes come true, and with this little stick, you can do whatever you want with magic that only a magician can do, without looking at talent, or even needing to learn, a fool's operation, even my neighbor's hamster can learn it."

Stark was about to speak, but Strange held out another hand to stop him, and said, "You have to ask, where does that energy come from?" I'm sorry, but we've already implemented solid-state magic energy recovery technology, to put it simply, the circle you cast will only consume a little energy during operation, and the circle itself can be recovered and reused. ”

"At the same time, we are also actively cooperating with Hell, Hades and the Underworld to create a cosmic energy feedback system, if you want to use your wand better, then choose to donate your soul energy after your death, and these institutions that serve death will absorb and give back to the universe."

"Don't say what kind of demon contract this is, we are much more advanced than demons, there is no reincarnation and rebirth in this world, after ordinary people die, the soul can only linger in the spirit world, and then dissipate, although it is also a return to the origin of the universe in the end, but the process is too slow, we can completely speed up the process, so that we use magic energy, so as not to hurt the origin of the universe."

"We made a deal with the demon gods, they extracted the origin of the universe for us to use, human life is very short, because the body is too fragile to use any powerful magic, so it does not consume much energy."

"And we will then hand over to them the souls that use the human energy of the origin of the universe to refine and return to the origin of the universe in proportion, so that a complete and healthy system can be formed."

"Asgard has also approved of our behavior, and the God King Thor is considering that after we basically stabilize the laboratory of this system, Asgard will gradually return the debts owed by the World Tree, but they owe a bit more energy, so maybe they will have to let the demon gods of other universes provide a little help."

"How? Tony? How's your solar system energy extraction technology evolving? Are you still pumping solar energy with those few poor little planes? ”

"Don't be too sad, this is just a deeper use of energy, and solar energy may become a legend like drilling wood to make fire?"

Stark took a deep breath again, but Strange stepped forward and stopped his shoulder, and said as he walked forward: "Don't be too discouraged, man, we had a little conflict before, but I saw it, think about it, after all, you still have a Stark group, but you are much richer than me." ”

"By the way, what does Miss Pepper think about your delay in producing research results? Wouldn't remind him of some of the more sensitive aspects? ”

"Of course, you don't have to be too sad, your father was like this back then, the road of hovering cars didn't go through, and Stark Industries was established, so I guess you can also change the track."

"However, after all, you are also a person with a daughter, you have to learn to be mature, you can't think of one out is one out, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run......"

Strange looked at Stark with a smile on his face, and Stark's footsteps suddenly stopped, followed by an angry roar that echoed through the halls of the second floor of the Holy of Holy.

"Jarvis!! Arm!!!! ”
