Luo Xing was slightly taken aback. Following their gaze, he looked down and saw a circle sparkling with fire appear beneath his feet.
"Wow, is the Supreme Master really this petty?"
Goodbye, you two.
Luo Xing gave the two of them a helpless look and shrugged.
whoosh-
Luo Xing, along with the sofa, fell into the portal.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Sanctuary of the Ancient One in New York, the Ancient One was wearing sunglasses, lying on a deck chair, drinking juice, and waving her finger.
Meanwhile, in a secret base covered in yellow sand in the Middle East,
Tony Stark collapsed wearily by the pool. He had just escaped death but was now being threatened by terrorists to build the Jericho missile.
Why did Stark's weapons end up in the hands of terrorists? How can he survive and escape this place? Should he surrender?
Countless questions flooded his mind, making the pain in his brain surpass the emptiness in front of him.
"He's just out of danger, so it's best for him to rest for a few days. Even if he doesn't rest, he shouldn't do any strenuous work..."
“I will help you persuade him, and he will become a sheep for you to work with, provided that the sheep can live.”
Meanwhile, Ethan, who speaks the local language, is trying his best to defend Tony.
"Tell him tomorrow that construction must begin tomorrow! Otherwise, you're all doomed!"
The terrorist leader glanced at Tony, gave Ethan a warning, and then turned and left with his men.
boom! !
The thick iron gate was closed and locked from the inside.
In the dimly lit room, apart from a little light, the only other light was the flickering of an old-fashioned camera above their heads.
Tony was despondent and gave up on himself, while Ethan was trying his best to encourage him and help him regain his fighting spirit.
After Ethan's relentless efforts, Tony finally managed to muster the will to resist.
The two lay on the dilapidated wooden bed, preparing to rest and wait for tomorrow.
Boom! ! !
A loud noise startled the two people who had just closed their eyes awake.
"What the hell?"
"God, where did he come from?"
Tony and Ethan looked toward the source of the sound and saw a brand-new sofa standing out incongruously on a pile of trash in the corner of the cave, with a person sitting on it.
"Shit, this place stinks!"
Luo Xing stood up from the sofa with disgust and left the pile of trash.
"Who are you? How did you... suddenly appear there?"
Ethan preemptively asked the question that had been troubling the two of them.
Luo Xing did not answer his question, but instead walked step by step toward Tony Stark, who was holding a battery to sustain his life.
"Did you know? I just adopted a brother and sister."
"They told me that their parents had died in an accident not long ago."
"They both almost died, but luckily the Stark Industries missile seemed to be of poor quality and didn't explode."
As Tony listened to Luo Xing's story, his initially curious gaze gradually changed and flickered, before he looked away, unable to look directly at her.
Ever since he was attacked by missiles, he has been afraid to think about how much military support his company provided to terrorists and how many people were killed.
"So, you've come to thank me?"
Tony pursed his lips, his eyes slightly red, and looked up at Luo Xing, forcing a smile.
"Stark!"
Ethan looked anxious, grabbed Tony's arm, and hurriedly apologized to Luo Xing: "I'm sorry, he was recently attacked by a missile and probably injured his head."
Anyone with a normal IQ can see that Luo Xing, who can suddenly appear in a completely closed cell, is definitely not an ordinary person. Isn't it just courting death to provoke him?
"Do you believe in magic?"
"If your sister, who indirectly caused your parents' deaths, wanted to crush you in the future, it would be as easy as this."
Luo Xing picked up a small tomato next to him, crushed it, and tossed it aside. "So, your life is spared for now, let's see if they want it or not."
"Then what are you here for? To prevent me from dying prematurely?"
Tony walked with difficulty to the side, sat down, exhaled, and asked.
"What else can I do? Get you out of here, you playboy."
Luo Xing walked to the table and flipped through the blueprints representing the first Iron Man suit. "But before that, you have to do one thing."
"What's wrong?" Tony asked.
"Answer me first: do you believe in magic?"
Luo Xing glanced at the triggered task and asked.
[Iron Man Mission (Science and Magic): Get the tech madman Tony Stark to believe in magic, at least 50%.]
Chapter 45 A City Where Technology and Magic Coexist[picture]
Tony's expression was a little strange, then he regained his serious look, looked at Luo Xing and nodded: "I believe you."
Forget everything else, let's get out of here first.
"Sorry, saying one thing and meaning another doesn't count."
Luo Xing glanced at "
Tony's expression was a little strange, then he regained his serious look, looked at Luo Xing and nodded: "I believe you."
Forget everything else, let's get out of here first.
"Sorry, saying one thing and meaning another doesn't count."
Luo Xing glanced at the mission progress bar, which was still at 0%.
"Oh, please."
Tony covered his face in exasperation. "Dude, it's the 21st century now. You're not a three-year-old anymore. Can you please stop playing with this kind of stuff?"
“Yes, and there are cameras here; they could spot you at any time. If you have a way to get us out of here, just say so.” Ethan nodded in agreement.
"You think magic is a fairy tale? Then how do you think I and my sofa ended up here?" Luo Xing casually pointed to the sofa on the pile of garbage.
If he really came in normally, why was he carrying a sofa?
As soon as Luo Xing finished speaking, the mission progress reached 3%.
But it was only 3%, and there was no further fluctuation.
"Looks like I need to come up with something substantial."
Luo Xing knew that this was the easiest time to complete the mission. Once Tony was freed, he would immediately begin manufacturing the Mark armor, at which point the mission would be impossible to complete, and they would have to gamble on the next refresh.
After all, the mission objective wasn't simply to make Tony believe in magic, but to make him believe in it.
To change someone's beliefs, you must be in a desperate situation.
"What are you going to do? Perform magic tricks for us?"
Tony took a step back, sat down in the chair, and gestured for him to sit down.
"Meow, where are we going this time?"
A cute cat lay on the book and floated out from behind Luo Xing.
"Just turn to any page."
Luo Xing waved his hand, and the Doorway Tome flipped through rapidly. Then, a superdimensional magic was activated, enveloping the entire room.
"you……"
hum!
Before the two could say anything, Luo Xing had already successfully brought them to Runeterra.
The three of them appeared in a dark alley.
"I never expected to end up here. Looks like I'm in luck."
Luo Xing glanced at a flying vehicle passing by in the sky and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"You used magic to get us out of that awful place? Thank you so much!!"
After being teleported out of the cave, Ethan happily stepped forward and grasped Luo Xing's hand, filled with gratitude.
"You wait a minute!"
Tony, holding the battery that was keeping him alive, took two steps out of the alley and looked up at the high-tech buildings outside, which were definitely not the kind of buildings that should exist on Earth.
Not only the buildings, but the clothes worn by the pedestrians are also different from those of Earthlings, and many of them even have mechanical prosthetics.
"This is... cyberpunk?"
As a tech enthusiast, Tony was naturally familiar with this kind of fantasy world setting, and what he saw before him had a bit of a cyberpunk feel to it.
"That's somewhat true, but..."
Luo Xing walked over to Tony, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed him in another direction, "This is a city where magic and technology coexist, Piltover."
In a workshop not far away, a mage was wearily channeling magic into a machine.
The visible magical fluctuations shook Tony's previously unwavering belief in science.
Moreover... the combination of magic and technology, this unknown knowledge immediately piqued Tony's curiosity.
Shila-
A sharp, grating sound, like a knife slicing through glass, rang out from the depths of the alley where Luo Xing had just been, causing him to turn around with a slight frown.
