Chapter 114: Advent
If it weren't for Ronan's eloquent words and serious and solemn expression, Tony Stark once thought that Ronan was teasing him.
0:01 in the middle of the night is enough at this point in time, and you have to get down on your knees?
When did he Tony Stark get down on both knees!
Except that time, that time, that time and that time, he never had!
More importantly, isn't reciting that so-called "honorific name" something that only cultists do?
This doesn't sound like a real thing.
Ronan on the side obviously saw the distrust in Tony Stark's eyes.
But he didn't defend himself, just shrugged his shoulders.
"I know it's going to be dangerous, and if you summon an evil god or something, it's going to be a problem."
"So, I never tried."
"Such a dangerous thing to do to you. It's better not to try it. ”
Ronan glanced at Tony Stark and couldn't help but shake his head.
?????
What do you mean by shaking your head?
Also, who is that look of contempt in your eyes aimed at?
Seeing Ronan's expression, Tony Stark almost blew up.
From childhood to adulthood, only he, Tony Stark, provoked others, how could others look at him with such a gaze!
This is a provocation!!
Chi Guoguo's provocation!!
"If what you said is true, then I will naturally try, as for whether it is dangerous or not, it has nothing to do with you."
"Do you have any other news?"
"If you still have it, I'll buy it at this price."
Tony Stark shook his ticket again.
Only this time, Ronan shook his head and rejected Tony Stark's "kindness".
It is enough to say this kind of thing, to make the other party both vigilant and uncomfortable like a kitten scratching in the heart.
That's enough!
"I'm sorry, I know that, I can only tell you so much."
"Oh yes, someone told me that, and I thought I gave it to you for free."
Ronan shook his head, his expression very serious.
"What?"
Tony Stark didn't expect an unexpected bonus.
Ronan looked up, gave Tony Stark a deep look, and opened his mouth slightly.
"Don't tempt the existence of magic, or you'll end up in a place from which you can't recover."
"Once you get involved in an area that you are not good at, you will find that you don't know when it started, and you have already sunk."
This is still a warning, and it can be regarded as Ronan's advice to Tony Stark.
In fact, Ronan is not alarmist in this sentence.
In the world of magic, it is not only white magic, but black magic that can be handed down the most.
On the one hand, the conditions for white magic cultivation are more demanding, and they require the guidance of professionals, so there are very few that can be handed down.
But black magic is different.
A lot of black magic can be learned immediately, and even a single ritual is needed, plus a small sacrifice, and even a demon god can be summoned!
Think about how outrageous that is.
If they, the mages of Kama Taj, want to meet Emperor Weishan, I'm afraid they can only think about it in their dreams.
However, using black magic to meet some hellish life or demon gods is a breeze.
Should it be said that those demon gods and hellish creatures have more free time than Emperor Weishan?
As Ronan said, when Tony Stark really started studying the dark arts, that's when he sank.
Once you are bewitched by hellish creatures or demon gods, then the Iron Man in front of you will become the spokesperson of hell or the dark dimension.
That's all Ronan can say.
If Tony Stark is still obsessed, he still wants to get involved in the wizarding world in the future.
All Ronan can do then is to help him live out the next life.
Tony Stark, who was opposite, also fell silent at this time.
It's not that he doesn't know the dangers of magic, on the contrary, he knows it very well.
Because in many occult books, those who study these are more or less warned that magic is extremely dangerous.
But who is he Tony Stark.
A representative figure who does not hit the south wall and does not look back.
Just say one of his representative works, and you will know how harmful it is.
Ultron.
An artificial intelligence that almost wiped out the entire planet.
Of course, this is not to say that Tony Stark's thinking is wrong, but that there is something wrong with his personality.
Sometimes, one of his inspirations is to create a time-traveling instrument and rewrite a tragic ending.
But sometimes, one of his ideas can destroy the earth.
"Alright, Mr. Stark, our deal is done."
"As for today's interview, I'm sure your employees will tell you the results as well."
"It's time for me to go."
Ronan stood up from his chair and patted his pocket.
Earning 100,000 US dollars for nothing, this is already Ronan's biggest gain on this trip.
Moreover, he was sure that Tony Stark would not be able to resist his curiosity, and that he would read out that passage when the time came.
So Ronan is also waiting for him.
When the time comes, it will definitely give him a more unforgettable memory!
Ronan's words interrupted Tony Stark's musings, only to see him raise his head a little dazedly and look around left and right.
He was relieved to find out that it was only him and Ronan.
"Harpy."
He shouted out the door.
Harpy immediately pushed the door open, looking at Ronan with a wary face.
"I'm fine."
"You can help me send him back."
Tony Stark pointed to Ronan on the other side, looking physically and mentally exhausted.
If it weren't for the fact that Harpy, who was standing outside the door, didn't hear any movement, he would have even thought that Tony Stark had experienced a big battle.
This looks like it's empty.
"No need, I'm here on my bike, I can ride back by myself."
"Thank you, Mr. Stark, for your kindness."
Ronan smiled, declined Harpy's service, and turned to leave the conference room.
In the conference room, only Tony Stark looked out the window, and Harpy looked confused.
After walking out of the room, Ronan was shocked to find that Gwen Stacy was still sitting in the chair outside the door, and still studying seriously.
"Huh?"
"Gwen, why haven't you left yet?"
Ronan looked at Gwen Stacy with some curiosity.
Hearing Ronan's voice, Gwen Stacy looked up and silently packed up her things.
"I am the captain of the team designated by the teacher, so it is my responsibility to wait for each student to complete the interview."
Gwen Stacy's tone was flat.
"What about the others?"
Ronan glanced at the others.
"They've all gone back and waited for news."
"Don't look at it, your popularity is not so good, only I'm waiting for you."
Gwen Stacy directly shattered Ronan's illusions.
Ronan couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling that he took the initiative to the end, which really didn't make these people grateful.
In that case, then don't blame me for not inviting you to dinner.
"Okay, then they don't have that mouth."
"There was a bit of a surprise in today's interview."
"Let's go, in order to thank you for still waiting for me, I invite you to dinner!"
After saying that, Ronan didn't wait for Gwen Stacy to refuse, and walked to the elevator not far away.
"What, were you hired?"
"I see Mr. Stark went in just now."
Gwen Stacy asked with some surprise as she caught up with Ronan.
Ever since Tony Stark entered, she had been observing the inside of the house.
However, because Happi was standing outside the house, she tried to get closer and listen, but was stopped by Happy.
So, she didn't know what was going on inside.
"Hired?"
"No, no, no, if the interview is successful, it's not a good thing."
"It's just that Mr. Stark bought a little secret from me, and he paid for it."
Ronan patted his pocket and smiled very satisfied.
100,000 US dollars.
How long is he going to snort!
No, we have to have a good meal tonight.
"A little secret?"
"Can I listen?"
Gwen Stacy's face was full of curiosity.
She also wanted to know what was the secret that could make Tony Stark pay for it.
However, Ronan, who was facing the elevator, turned his head and winked at Gwen Stacy and smiled mysteriously.
"I'm sorry, but this secret is being kept secret for the time being."
"Maybe one day, you'll find out too."
With that, Ronan stopped the elevator door that had just opened, and made a gesture of invitation to Gwen Stacy with his left hand.
"Please, ladies first."
Hearing Ronan's mysterious words, Gwen Stacy pursed her lips and walked straight into the elevator.
Ronan is a good person, saying that if you invite to eat, you must invite you to eat.
The two of them chose a restaurant with good reviews and had a simple meal.
When the two finished eating, Ronan was also responsible for sending Gwen Stacy home.
After all, judging from the security environment in New York at night, the probability of a girl walking home alone is too high to be honest.
It's just that when Ronan left Gwen Stacy's house, for some reason, he always felt cold on his back.
It made him nervous all the way.
And the other side.
Stark Tower.
Tony Stark's situation is not so laid-back.
He sat on the couch and looked through the glass at the streets of New York in the middle of the night, and his heart was filled with waves.
It's to believe what Ronan says.
Forget about these things, and stop provoking dangerous mages.
Or believe in your heart.
This was a very difficult decision for Tony Stark.
From Ronan's words, he could clearly feel that Ronan seemed to be very jealous of these things.
Perhaps it was because he had heard many legends since he was a child, and he had a natural fear of mages.
However, for Tony Stark, the desire to explore the unknown has long been ready to move.
"Tony, are you alright?"
At that moment, Pepperpots' voice interrupted Tony Stark's thoughts.
Tony Stark came back to his senses, put his arms around Pepperpots, who was sitting next to him, and smiled reluctantly.
"I'm fine."
"It's just thinking about the little things."
Seriously, I don't know if Tony Stark won't lie, or if Pepperpotts has already seen him through.
Whenever Tony Stark showed this expression, Pepperpots could tell at a glance that he was not right.
"Ever since you met that kid today, you seem to be a little absent-minded."
"Even when I signed it in the afternoon, I got it wrong."
"Did something happen?"
Pepperpotts leaned on Tony Stark's shoulder and asked in a low voice.
She was very keen, and naturally noticed Tony Stark's strange expression.
Especially after meeting the kid named Ronan.
"It's nothing, I just heard a bit of surprise."
Tony Stark patted Pepperpots on the shoulder, signaling that there was nothing wrong with him.
However, Pepperpotts doesn't believe his nonsense.
"We said we wouldn't lie to each other."
"Don't make a mistake."
Pepperpots gave Tony Stark one more chance.
Tony Stark opened his mouth, he really didn't know what to say to Pepperpots.
Because the danger that this matter may encounter is something that Tony Stark himself cannot estimate.
But if you don't say it.
"Okay Pepper, I heard a little bit about the mage from that kid today."
"And he told me a few words, and he supposedly summoned those mages."
"It's just that I've been hesitating."
Tony Stark finally told what had happened.
"Summon those mages?"
"Just like that one that day?"
Pepperpotts suddenly remembered the "special" memories of Christmas.
After all, she has spent so many years of Christmas, and she has never had such an exciting experience.
"Maybe it's worse than that."
Tony Stark pursed his lips.
He knew that Mr. Wonder that day had no intention of moving his real character at all.
According to his words, he was merely warning Tony Stark, and it was.
If he really wanted to do it, that day might really be Tony Stark's death day.
"So, what do you think?"
Pepperpotts seems to hear the crisis.
It's just that Tony Stark shook his head, and he didn't answer the question.
Because he hasn't figured it out yet.
Since the last time he completely let go of the knot, he has always had someone to worry about in his heart.
If he rushed to outer space with a nuclear bomb before, he already regretted his heroic actions.
So this time, the same danger, how should he choose
"Tony."
At that moment, Pepperpotts stroked Tony Stark's face.
Tony Stark lowered his head and looked at Pepperpots in his arms, and the two kissed gently.
"Tony, no matter what kind of thing you encounter, we can face it together."
"I support all the decisions you make, but you must also promise me that you will come back safely no matter what."
"Okay?"
Pepperpotts' eyes sparkled.
Looking at his flowery girlfriend in front of him, Tony Stark smiled slightly and nodded heavily.
The two of them hugged each other again.
Late at night, 11:30 a.m.
Under Jarvis's reminder, Tony Stark, who had fallen asleep, woke up from his bed.
According to Ronan, not only does he need to be alone, but he also needs to show respect before he bathes and changes his clothes.
What's more, he had to find the tallest building in all of New York City.
Of course, the tallest building was his Stark Group, which he had already checked.
Therefore, for his own safety, Tony Stark obediently took a shower and changed into very clean clothes.
After doing all this, he meditated in his room for 10 minutes to calm himself.
In order to achieve the respect that Ronan said!
Finally, when the time reached 00:00, he walked up to the top floor of his building.
At this time, the sky was full of stars, and the cold wind belonging to winter was constantly blowing on Tony Stark's face.
Tony Stark took a deep breath and walked to the center, exactly 1 minute past midnight.
This is the time!
I saw him kneeling on his knees, and he began to chant words in his mouth.
"His Holiness who does not belong to this world."
"The One Supreme Above the Heavens"
"The Lord of All Worlds who holds the Immortal Law!"
"I, Tony Stark, ask to meet you!"
Bang!
Just as Tony Stark finished reading the last word, a lightning bolt appeared out of thin air in the originally extremely clear sky!
As the lightning fell, the wind blew violently!
A violent wind blew through Tony Stark's body, making him almost unable to control himself.
Thundered.
Dense dark clouds instantly covered the starry sky, and lightning shrouded Tony Stark inside.
Seeing this situation, Tony Stark's face changed instantly.
He never imagined that the weather would change so much!
What's even more terrifying is that the invisible coercion makes Tony Stark feel a little breathless.
Although he hadn't seen anyone yet, the circumstances alone were enough to shock Tony Stark.
What the hell did he summon out!
Is it the devil?
Or is it an evil god that has been sealed for countless years?
Tony Stark didn't dare to think about it, but he didn't leave here either.
Because he knew very well that if he really summoned a terrifying evil god, then even if he was gone, the whole world would probably not escape doom.
Many texts have said that when an evil god or devil has just come, it is when they are at their weakest.
So, Tony Stark's idea is also very simple.
If the other party is really one of these monsters, then he will take advantage of the weakest time for the other party to kill the other party!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the bracelet on his right hand.
That was his last and greatest reliance!
Click!
At that moment, a huge lightning bolt struck.
The shining thunder light instantly lit up the dark night.
It was at this time that Tony Stark clearly saw that from the dark clouds in the sky above him, a person slowly walked out.
The man was dressed in a black robe and wore a black hood.
It seems that he is stepping on air under his feet, and behind him are ten thousand thunderbolts.
Just this appearance posture has already made Tony Stark speechless in shock.
Hooded robes
Tony Stark swallowed, he had only one thought in his mind now.
Myself
Is it wrong?
He shouldn't have read that passage out of his mind, and he shouldn't have tried it.
However, it was already too late!
