Chapter 266: Where Is What I Want?
🕑 Added 2025-07-29 05:43:08 +0000 UTC"Do you want to see how I throw you into hell?"
In the office of the London Temple, Noah rested his head on one hand while holding a book in the other. He looked at Tony with a strange expression on his face.
As for Coulson?
This guy was standing by with a helpless look on his face, and Tony couldn’t stop him at all.
"Okay, if you want, I’ll satisfy you."
After thinking for a long time, Noah suddenly smiled. Tony, who was initially angry, seemed to sense something was wrong.
But the next second, a halo appeared directly beneath Tony’s feet, and with a scream, he fell without any reaction.
"Tell me, Phil, is there something wrong with this guy?" Noah rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little sleepy. He was indeed quite tired, especially after sitting and reading books he had already read long ago.
Of course, Noah understood the meaning of "reviewing the past to learn new things," which kept him sitting there without complaints, rather than worrying that the Ancient One might suddenly come to check on him.
"Well, to be precise, he was just angry," Coulson laughed dryly, then glanced at the spot where Tony disappeared. "Did he really go to hell?"
"Of course not." Noah shrugged. "But he will experience what it’s like to fall into hell. Now, tell me what happened."
Hearing this, Coulson finally breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was really worried that Noah, the mysterious magician, would throw the son of the founder of SHIELD into hell without a word, even though Mr. Stark could be frustrating at times.
Soon, Coulson explained the whole situation.
This made Noah chuckle. It seemed that he had left such a deep impression on Tony that, even now, Coulson, who was pretending to be clueless, was remembered by Tony.
Though Tony’s escape was tied to Noah, they still had to investigate for the sake of appearances.
They were shocked to find that Tony used an incredible machine to escape, which gave many people at SHIELD new ideas.
"In fact, Fury thinks that if we can get our hands on this technology, it would significantly increase our strength. So, if we face aliens—"
"And face our magicians?" Noah interrupted.
"No! How is that possible?"
"Don’t get so excited, I’m just kidding."
Looking at the extremely excited Coulson, Noah shrugged indifferently.
Even if Fury had such an idea, it was normal. After all, no one wanted the world’s defense power to be in someone else’s hands.
But if Fury really thought that technology could handle magicians, then he would be in for a rude awakening.
Noah had come to understand Fury’s nature over the years. He had to admit that Fury seemed more and more like the black-bellied egghead in Noah’s memories. Many times, Noah found himself thinking about the darker side of things.
"Okay, Phil, don’t be so nervous. By the way, does this guy have any other business besides showing off that he took the initiative to close the weapons department?" Looking at Coulson, who still seemed to want to explain something, Noah decisively changed the subject.
God knows when this nonsense would end. Noah didn’t have the time or patience for it.
Coulson was no longer the shy guy he was thirteen years ago. Even though he still got nervous around Noah, Noah didn’t think he could actually intimidate him.
"Uh, seems like that’s it." Coulson thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"Really? Then where is my artificial intelligence system terminal?" Noah frowned. Did this guy forget to bring it?
As WeChat became more and more important in the magical world, the smart terminal server that Charles and his team built a few years ago was no longer enough.
To deal with this issue, Charles and his team had to spend considerable time expanding and researching new developments.
But Charles and Jean Grey were both biologists, so it wasn’t easy for them to switch to working with artificial intelligence.
The fact that they made something quite good showed their talent, but it was too difficult for them to keep progressing.
"I'm not sure about this. Maybe you should release him and ask him directly?" Coulson suggested uncertainly.
"That makes sense." Noah nodded, then snapped his left fingers.
Instantly, a halo appeared on the ceiling of Noah’s office, and a figure fell rapidly with a heart-wrenching scream!
The figure was about to hit the floor, but then, just before impact, something froze him in midair.
"Oh! Wow! Damn it!" Tony looked down at the floor, barely ten centimeters away from him, and his voice was hoarse from the shock. "Damn it! The speed at which I was falling could have taken me to the other side of the earth!"
"Really? Then congratulations, you haven’t fallen into hell yet. If you want to try again, I won’t cast the levitation spell next time, and you can go in directly." Noah said irritably. Another snap of his fingers sent Tony crashing to the ground.
"Couldn’t you be a little gentler?" Tony rubbed his stomach, clearly uncomfortable. "By the way, do you have any water? I’m thirsty."
"No, if you want to buy water, turn left and walk about 200 meters. I remember there’s a convenience store there," Noah said nonchalantly.
"Damn, if I get out of here, how will I find my way in?" Tony rolled his eyes.
This place was truly strange and unfathomable. Jarvis had told him he was in Westminster, but Tony couldn’t pinpoint his exact location. Satellite signals were erratic, sometimes even non-existent.
This was troubling news for Tony. He still had no idea who he was dealing with, but one thing was certain—these people were no amateurs, especially the one in front of him.
"Alright, I’m done with the small talk. I remember four years ago, I asked you to help me create an artificial intelligence terminal. Is it ready?" Noah didn’t waste any more time and asked directly.
"It’s done, but can I ask you a few questions?" Tony said without hesitation, his mind buzzing with curiosity.
"Hmm?" Noah supported his head with one hand and tapped the table with the other. After a brief silence, he asked, "What do you want to know?"
"Huh." Tony secretly sighed in relief, then carefully activated the recording function. "Who are you? And why can’t this place be discovered?"
"We are magicians," Noah said casually, not thinking it necessary to hide this information. After all, Kamar-Taj would be exposed in seven or eight years anyway. "As for why you couldn’t find us, it’s because you haven’t detected their abilities, or our expulsion spell works very effectively."
"Magicians?" Tony raised an eyebrow. "There are magicians in this world?"
"Heh." Noah smiled lightly. "This world isn’t just for ordinary people; there’s also a world for magicians. The number of magicians isn’t as large as that of ordinary people, but we live in every corner of the world, just like regular people. You have the magic world in the United States, and the Magical Congress of the United States."
"Magic world? Magic Congress?"
Tony looked at Noah in astonishment, then turned back to look at Agent Coulson.
Coulson, sensing Tony’s confusion, nodded honestly. Although he had never been to the American magic world, Fury had.
"Is there a Magic Congress everywhere?" Tony asked, incredulous.
"Correction, we call the governing body of the magical world the Ministry of Magic. However, due to the structure and distribution of power, each country has its own version of the Ministry of Magic," Noah explained slowly. "You ordinary people understand this better."
Tony nodded. This was easier to grasp.
But for some reason, Tony began to feel a little scared. If that’s the case, wouldn’t magicians be everywhere?
Maybe some of the people he knew were secretly magicians, and once these magicians—
"Don’t make that face." Seeing Tony suddenly shudder, Noah knew exactly what he was thinking. "The rules of the magical world forbid us from attacking ordinary people on a whim. No matter how advanced your technology becomes, magic and technology are two separate branches. You can’t handle us. And if we attack…"
Noah wasn’t afraid to brag like this. Although Tony was incredibly talented and powerful, Noah didn’t think Tony in this universe compared to the one from the final universe. That Tony had countless anti-armor suits, each more powerful than the last.
But this Tony—closer to the film version with Robert Downey Jr.'s face—lacked the resources and research subjects to study.
In Noah’s memory, Tony didn’t seem to have made any anti-Doctor Strange armor. But he had created a set of Supreme Warlock armor that replaced Strange as the Supreme Sorcerer.
Besides, there were too many magical systems in this world—whether it was basic school magic, the elemental magic system Noah currently specialized in, or Kamar-Taj's secret magic system.
Just one of those systems was enough for Tony to study obsessively.
Noah mastered all three systems simultaneously. By the time Tony began to study Noah’s magic, Noah would likely have already reached the tenth level.
At that point, Tony would show up in his armor, only to be met with one word—tragedy.
"Okay, I have some books on the story of magicians here. You can read them. But now, let’s talk about the artificial intelligence terminal I requested?"
