The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Since that day, Stark's desire to know about magic has reached its peak. His curiosity about the unknown is still beyond Ma Linglong's imagination. He will actively ask girls to show all kinds of magic, no matter it is dangerous or not. Still interesting, and making some Stark comments about the names of those spells.

Stark no longer has to worry about whether to leave them or throw them all into the shredder because the paper is all over the ground. He didn't have the time to consider that there might be important records in it, because the paper is very important. Too much, especially during the weeks when he was working on something new.

But now, as long as Ma Linglong waved his magic wand, the messy pieces of paper would be neatly folded, no matter where they were scattered.They can even be sorted automatically, and the useful parts and the waste paper are listed in two piles for Stark to sort out by himself.

He also didn't need to worry about being hit to the head when he was testing the propeller. Ma Linglong could suspend him in mid-air for the first time to save him from the pain of flesh and blood. Stark was familiar with the floating spell, but He didn't intend to ask any more questions, he had already learned too many secrets.If the armor's wiring catches fire, the spell will do the trick, too, and Stark thinks he can say goodbye to the fire extinguisher.There are also smashed doors and windows, as long as Ma Linglong reads "restore to original", all damaged things will be restored to their original state in no time, without even cracks.

But the effect of the spell does not target more sophisticated instruments. This discovery came after Ma Linglong tried to use magic to help Stark perfect the design of the new armor.

His iron suit was completely scrapped in the last battle, and Stark found many shortcomings from it. He needed to make great improvements on the original basis, and staying up late became Stark's inevitable daily routine.It was difficult for Ma Linglong to help him in this regard, all the spells that girls could think of could not make the armor assemble automatically, or detect flaws.

This did not surprise Ma Linglong at all, but she was still disappointed.

Stark didn't feel any pity at all, he himself liked to do it himself.

So now, not only has he fully adapted to Ma Linglong's dual identity, he is also excited about being a bit agent and a spy. Stark always makes good use of her magic to save himself time, since Ma Linglong is Stark's own Assistant, and she really liked being around Stark.

As long as Ma Linglong pointed with his wand (sometimes even without a wand), the object Stark wanted to get appeared in his hand, and the man tried again and again with great joy.

In addition to improving armor, Stark also spent a lot of time doing theoretical analysis of magic, as if intending to find scientific evidence from supernatural phenomena.Ma Linglong didn't laugh at Stark's approach. When he was concentrating on something, his appearance was even greater than his charm in a suit. Ma Linglong just reminded him that magic is magic, and it is the innate talent of wizards. It can't be explained clearly with Muggle knowledge, let alone confuse it with science.

For this purpose, Stark specially created a hidden file and put it in Jarvis's system, and added it whenever he thought of it. He guaranteed that these encrypted information would never be leaked.Now, he knows more things about the wizarding world, such as wizards are real and among people, and most wizards live in another dimension completely isolated from Muggles.In addition to being sparsely populated, they look no different from ordinary people and have their own entertainment circles. They need to work, earn money or support their families.

And, magic isn't everything.

"What is this?" When Ma Linglong was cleaning up the workshop for him, he accidentally found a round object, like a cover. The color of the metal surface was composed of red, blue and white intervals, and there was a white one in the center. There are not many scratches on the five-pointed star, as if it has been deliberately preserved.

"I thought I'd thrown that thing away." Stark said after a contemptuous glance. "It's not a big deal."

There are many strange objects in Stark's workshop. The reason why Ma Linglong noticed this was not because it was so special, but because it looked completely inconsistent with Stark's collection style, whether it was color or shape. : "What is it used for?"

"A model, a model of a shield." Stark said first, "I don't think you have heard of Captain America." He said in a teasing tone, "This thing is his weapon."

"I've heard of it." Ma Linglong knew that Captain America wasn't because he was so famous that everyone knew his name. Everyone would say his name so you didn't have to know. "During World War II, you called him a hero?"

"Why, wizards also learn our history?"

Ma Linglong only knew that there was such a character as Captain America, after all, he was considered very important in the torrent of American history.Ma Linglong knew about the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D. When Mike introduced the original founder, he mentioned Captain America in passing: "He has a relationship with your father."

"This is the relationship between the atomic bomb and Howard." With a disgusted tone, he quickly dismissed it, "It's just one of the many weapons Howard made." Stark will not add fuel to that " "Weapon" is described as perfect, although Captain America is indeed portrayed as the "perfect" super soldier, and it is exaggerated to form a popular World War II hero, as if only one Captain America is enough to fight the Nazis.

"He's alone." Ma Linglong said, at least when he heard Mike introduce S.H.I.E.L.D., he didn't compare Captain America to a "weapon".

"Jarvis," Stark said, "give my girl a boring politics lesson."

Ma Linglong saw the general outline of the "Super Soldier Project", and she guessed that the content on the screen should not be displayed to the public, and the secret she was spying on must be very important, but she was not as excited about it as Stark faced magic When the blood boils.

Howard was involved and was a very important part of the government-developed super-soldier program, which was a top-secret study in the United States in the 40s, with the original intention of fighting wars.As a technical support and sponsor, Howard provided the project with the most advanced equipment and patented technology at that time, and most importantly, with a high experimental funding unimaginable in the minds of ordinary people at that time.

In the end, a small vial of serum created Captain America.

Ma Linglong saw the obvious disdain on Stark's face, as if Captain America was a failure, not invulnerable as stated in the information.

"My father has always been proud of it." Stark said, "To be honest, as the only mouse that survived a human experiment project, if it were me, I would be very proud of him."

Captain America is not the only subject of the super soldier project. Scientists have conducted a large number of human experiments with extremely unstable serum. Stark can't guarantee that Howard is ignorant of this.Anyone with a little scientific knowledge knows that there is no one-time successful experiment. This is a fact that Stark figured out immediately after he was familiar with the birth process of Captain America. All success must be based on countless failures, including the United States. team leader.

No one cared about the fate of the experiment, at least not in those days, when many children and adults thought Captain America was a myth.People are more inclined to pay attention to how many Nazis Captain America has dealt with, and whether his fists really greeted Hitler's face.It can even be said that no one knows what the Super Soldier Project is all about. The sources of information for ordinary people are limited to newspapers, and the vast majority of people believe in the words of the media.

"Do you think he is an experimental subject, so you look down on him?"

Stark isn't sure either, he just hates how so many people treat him like a god when he can think of Captain America as part of a political campaign.Well, maybe not for this, Stark knows very well that he doesn't care how much Captain America is sought after, at least now is the era of Iron Man.

He glanced at the shield model, and Stark would never forget how much Howard cared about that, as if it was the one in Captain America's hand, when in fact it had fallen under the Arctic Ocean with Captain America.

"Maybe you'd like to know about my father," Stark said suddenly, "and since he's dead, you don't want to spank my ass with a board for speaking ill of him."

A few days later-

In the past two days, Stark seems to have turned his attention to Ma Linglong's magic wand. He wants to do research on that thing all the time, as if he regards it as a new type of weapon. He always feels that there must be something hidden in that little stick. Mystery, like a pistol, can fire bullets when it is loaded, and there should be a similar device in the wand, such as a built-in groove for storing energy.

Due to Ma Linglong's generosity and trust in Stark, she did not hesitate to set the wand to allow Stark to control it. She felt that it was impossible for Stark to use this amazing flower.And when Stark learned that the wand can accurately identify who is the owner, and can change the identification object according to the owner's consciousness, he can't wait to take this thing apart and decompose its internal structure.

In fact, he had already done this before. At first, he used the scanning method. Jarvis couldn't find anything, at least nothing special was found by him.As far as the instrument is concerned, the wand is an ordinary stick without even a magnetic field, and Stark knows that it must be more than that simple.

In the end, he did something that made Ma Linglong very angry, but he didn't intend to express the slightest apology for it.

Stark put the wand in the middle of the reactor, which is different from the one installed on his chest. He simulated the large Ark reactor that was destroyed in the sixteenth district, and made a small one in the studio at a scale of 1:100. number.At least Stark knew that what he was going to do was dangerous, so he wore goggles, and that was all.

He was going to conduct a radiation test on the wand to obtain a bunch of meaningless data (Ma Linglong thinks), Stark may have overestimated the quality of the wand, he thought that this thing must be indestructible, he even asked the master's consent Without even asking, he started sabotage without authorization.

He is very good at creating damage. If it wasn't for the fact that the magic wand itself has the perception and sensed the crisis and released magic to destroy the reactor, Ma Linglong couldn't guarantee that if Stark really pressed the button to activate the reactor. Whether the switch would cause the wand to break, she had no chance to see this (and she didn't want to).

What really made Ma Linglong angry was that the reactor was hit by abnormal energy and caused quite an explosion, and Stark was almost hit by the impact of the explosion into a concussion.

In fact, he was indeed seriously injured.

"Oh!" Stark screamed sharply, and he fell into bed with the help (coercion) of Ma Linglong.Stark doesn't want to waste time in bed, he still has a lot of work to do, at least his legs are able to walk, and one of his arms is still intact, "It hurts, I swear I really hurt, Look at my elbow, a slight fracture, bruises and stuff like that."

But Ma Linglong didn't sympathize with what happened to him, nor did he care about his injury. This was Stark's own fault.

"Well, I didn't know that sticks could cause explosions, I just want to understand magic." Stark said confidently, "Don't you like to see me delving into magic?"

"It's the wrong way." Ma Linglong said coldly, pointing her wand at the worst wound on Stark's forehead.

"Oh hey, you don't mean to use violence on me!" Stark said.

It reminded Stark of his days as a boy, a restless and troublesome age, maybe five or six, trying to sneak into his father's workshop and fiddle with every piece of equipment in it.Stark also dismantled an instrument that he couldn't even name at the time while the adults were away, but he couldn't put it back together in the end.Stark paid for it by getting a good spanking in the ass, and Howard had tried time and time again to get the spelling of "respect" into his son's head, which he clearly lacked to his death. sense of accomplishment.

"Do I need to do this?" Ma Linglong raised her voice, "You are cruel enough to yourself." She chanted a spell, and the wound on Stark's forehead healed instantly, "Besides, don't touch him again in the future." My wand."

Although the healing process is fast, it is also accompanied by pain. Magic only speeds up the healing of the wound. It does not make it better for no reason. Naturally, the feeling of pain will become stronger before it is fully recovered.Stark yelped again, defining it as the girl's revenge.

Stark's lips pouted, as if he was very dissatisfied, but he swallowed his habitual rebuttal: "Give me a comforting kiss."

"Don't even think about it." Ma Linglong stood up, and said angrily, "I really should cast a forgetting spell on your mind to let you know that magic is of no benefit at all."

"You won't."

"Not necessarily."

"The Oblivion Curse will hurt my brain, you said it, you won't hurt me." He smiled almost sweetly but couldn't hide his malice, "Come here, baby, give me a kiss, if you don't want to give me A deadly spell."

"No." Ma Linglong refused indifferently, "I hope you will remember that you are just a Muggle, and don't try to bring magic into your high technology."

"It's impossible, you can't stop me." Stark said, he kept that smile, and he didn't feel the slightest discomfort at Ma Linglong's sarcastic remarks, "You know how strong my curiosity is."

Yes, she knew, so Ma Linglong immediately climbed onto his bed, pointed his wand between his brows and said, "There is another way." She also laughed evilly, "One way can gain insight into your understanding of magic in advance." The way of twisting thoughts."

"What is it?" Stark asked, still looking curiously.

"Instigating Mind." Ma Linglong said, "No Muggle can resist it, and it won't cause substantial damage to your brain. It's just that you can no longer hide your little secret. You are in front of me. It will be completely transparent." Her tone was deliberately dangerous, with a threatening, seductive voice.

"Then come on." Stark let Ma Linglong point to his head, he could feel the sharp wand pressed between his two eyebrows, "If you do this, you will know how much I love you."

"you're a bastard."

"I don't deny that I am."

Ma Linglong looked at him for a while, and finally threw the wand aside, leaned down and kissed him for a long time, holding his face in her hands, kissing him very seriously.If it wasn't for the fact that Stark's arm was still aching and he couldn't stretch it out, and his girl didn't seem to be planning to use magic to solve the pain for him (maybe she forgot that he wanted to) the pain, he would have thrown Ma Linglong down first. .

"But that's what I like about you." Ma Linglong boldly admitted.

"My charm," Stark replied. "Can you fix my arm?" he asked, blinking.

"Don't count on broken bones, you need to cooperate with potions." Ma Linglong announced ruthlessly, "Take it as a lesson, and don't have any dangerous thoughts."

"I know why you are angry, because you care about me." Stark kissed her on the nose, and wrapped her neck towards him with his other uninjured arm.

Sometimes Ma Linglong felt that Stark seemed to be able to inspirit, he could always explain her thoughts, but she obviously didn't give him too many expressions or superfluous hints.

"How about your parents?" Stark said, "since I've already told mine."

"How much did Diane tell you?"

"Very little." Stark said, "She encouraged me to ask you in person." He thought for a while and said, "I don't intend to be disrespectful, I just want to make sure that your parents are still alive, right?"

Ma Linglong didn't know whether she should answer yes or no, at least for Muggles and even for many wizards, they are indeed dead, there is no entity and only a soul, so naturally they cannot be considered alive: "It depends on how you define death." But they She was still able to have conversations and emotional exchanges with Ma Linglong. She never felt that her parents were dead. They were still spell teachers of the Immortal Cultivation School. That letter was sent by Ma Linglong's father.

It is indeed a very important announcement, at least for the teachers and students of Kunlun Mountain.

Ma Linglong has five masters in total, and one of them is about to celebrate his [-]th birthday. The letter stated that they will hold a banquet in Penglai Mountain in a month, and there will be entertainment such as spell competitions For the event, he hoped that his daughter would be able to attend as scheduled, and by the way bring some foreign goods back for the juniors and younger sisters to taste.

At the bottom of the letter, there was a line of fine print, telling her that cranes should never be eaten, no matter how boring the food on the other side of the ocean was.

Ma Linglong only replied two words "no time" and sent the crane back. She probably knew why her father changed the pigeon into a crane so aggressively. This may be because she gave the pigeon to Hogwarts several times. The house-elf made a dish with ex-cons.

"Are they ghosts?" Stark was smart, he didn't have to think long.

"Yes." Ma Linglong said, "It can be understood in this way."

"Sorry, I guess this is your heartbreak?"

"No." She replied calmly.

Few outsiders know that the Ma clan, a family of exorcists, is actually divided into two families, one is a commoner, and the other is a warlock. The two families almost never communicate. It is said that because the ancestors could not reach an agreement, they finally broke off contact completely. .Ma Linglong was born in the school of warlocks. Her father had already learned Taoism in Kunlun Mountain during the years when Ma Xiaoling was very active among commoners. He belonged to the sect of cultivating immortals, but he was not obsessed with becoming immortals .In a spell competition, Ma Linglong's father met his current wife, a sorceress from Mount Penglai. According to the two, it was love at first sight.

"Sounds like a romantic encounter?" Stark said, temporarily ignoring the technical vocabulary he didn't understand, and now he just wants to hear a romantic love story, "I guess your parents shouldn't stop you from falling in love, right? After all, they have become ghosts."

"Are you worried about this?" Ma Linglong asked with a smile.

"I don't," Stark said guiltily.

It's not that the sect of cultivating immortals has to abandon affection, but it's difficult for sentimental desires to truly reach the peak. Ma Linglong's father probably never thought about ascending to immortality. In addition, cultivating immortals at that time was only a derivative of the five major sects. There are very few people studying the new school, no more than five, so he didn't concentrate on his studies at that time. 【Note】

After having Ma Linglong, her parents seemed to have mastered the truth of life. When their daughter was three years old, they began to study the way of cultivating immortals.

Ma Xiaoling was Ma Linglong's aunt, even though they had never met her before, Ma Linglong also knew about this aunt's deeds.

She turned into a zombie, a woman from a family of exorcists, but she made herself the target of deportation, and it became a major event that shocked the world for a while.Because of this, as the only surviving female bloodline of the Ma clan at that time, even if it belonged to the Warlock family, the clan had to pass on the identity of the exorcist to her.

Stark asked a substantive question in a daze: "Your parents, I want to say, how old are they now? I don't mean to be disrespectful, you know."

For ghosts, age itself has no meaning, but when Stark asked, Ma Linglong replied in order to let him understand temporarily: "Dad is just 100 years old this year, and mom is 30 years younger than dad. They get along very well." ,you do not need to worry."

"No, I didn't worry about it anymore." Although Stark was indeed a little worried, he felt as if he had discovered an incredible secret, "How long have they been dead?"

"I hope that if you really see them, please don't ask this question, no matter how curious you are." Ma Linglong said, "20 years ago, their souls separated from their bodies and gained eternal life."

The author has something to say: [Note]: Five major schools of Taoism: 1. Jishan School; 2. Classical School; 3. Fulu School; 4. Zhanyan School; 5. Danding School.The author of the five major factions will divide them into five colleges, of which the Cultivation School is the sixth college, and the details will be revealed in later stories.The author mainly uses Taoism as the background setting of the Chinese magic world, so it will not be too textual.
