"He, I appreciate your help, but this also makes us rely on you." Tony finally said what he was thinking.

He thought a lot last night. No matter how good his relationship with Shen He was, the difference in strength between the two was too great, which meant that they were destined to be in an unequal state. One party was too dependent on the other, and it was not a long-term relationship.

He once thought that joining Chaldea could change this situation.

But now it seems that they can't really join at all.

"......Even if you don't rely on us, you can still solve the difficulties in the early stage." Shen He shook his head gently, "We intervened in advance, just to prepare for the final disaster. You have survived the early disasters."

He now regretted letting Chaldea stand as an outsider.

At that time, it was just to maintain mystery and increase the credibility of his words. He didn't think there would be any disagreements. After all, Thor could also be regarded as an outsider to them.

But now it seems different from what he thought, because their involvement is too deep.

So deep that Tony and others have the illusion that "cannot leave Chaldea".

"Maybe, but how many people will be sacrificed?"

As expected, Tony did not comment on Shen He's statement.

"In your prediction, the aliens directly invaded one of the world's largest cities without our preparation. Even if we finally stopped the war, it is conceivable how many civilians would be sacrificed, not to mention that it has changed. Who knows what will happen now - we need you."

Tony now has a sense of crisis in advance because he has been exposed to a larger world in advance.

He was originally a person who did not feel very secure, otherwise he would not have created Ultron in the future. Now, it can be said that Chaldea is the "barrier" in his heart, but in advance, this "barrier" will not suddenly disappear one day.

"Isn't this the reason why we created this 'Chaldea Branch'?" Shen He couldn't help but speak, "I have said before that this force does not only belong to us, but also to you, Tony. The purpose of Chaldea is to protect human principles. Strictly speaking, the establishment of this force has violated our usual style, but it was only under the reason of 'protecting human principles' that it was able to obtain the support of the headquarters." Frankly

speaking, Shen He did not want to be bound by the responsibility of saving the world.

It is true that he is willing to save this world full of disasters, but this is not a responsibility. Even if he fails in the end, he will not feel too guilty.

So he is not happy with Tony's tendency to restrain himself now.

"Yes, yes, that's what I want to tell you." Tony's expression became serious. "Don't interfere in the civil war, don't save civilians, just protect the entire 'humanity', and regard human 'evil' as part of human nature. You have said it many times. To be honest, I can't understand it at all. You can do more."

"Stop, stop, I know what you want to say." Shen He raised his hand, his face full of helplessness.

The real situation is just as he imagined. Tony wants to tie Chaldea or himself here.

He almost guessed why. The day he suddenly disappeared gave them a sense of crisis.

But Shen He is not a hero, not to mention that the rewards of the Magic Index event have shown that the Marvel world will not restrain him. Even if the travel card is used up, once he draws a fragment of a world in the future, he can even leave the Marvel world completely with his servants.

However, if this matter is not handled properly, it may leave a gap between Tony and others.

"Actually..." Shen He murmured, and said, "The crisis in the other world has been dealt with. We ended the war that could destroy the world, and as the person in charge, I was promoted."

"Promoted?" Tony was stunned.

"Yes." Shen He nodded with a smile, "Now I am responsible for more worlds, and my salary has also increased. I have my own castle between the cracks of the world. Your worries are actually unnecessary. We also have work performance. Even if something really happens to me one day, Chaldea will let new employees come."

"Wait, what you mean is." Tony also understood, "You are like administrative officials, one person is responsible for one or several places, no, worlds?"

"That's it." Shen He shrugged, "After the war in that world was resolved, we cleared most people's memories of us and left there. Before the next crisis that humans cannot solve on their own, we will not go to that world again. Even if we go, it's just for tourism-this is how Chaldea works."

The copy of the magic world is to a certain extent in line with the previously boasted image of Chaldea.

Shen He felt that for his future plans, it was necessary to perfect the settings.

"......"

Tony didn't know what to say.

If Chaldea was a force with strict system, they couldn't change anything.

But in fact, his purpose had been partially achieved - from the beginning, he came here to learn more about Chaldea.

"Want to go and see?" Shen He suddenly said.

"What?" Tony didn't react for a moment.

"Go to my castle." Shen He laughed, "It's my private territory. Strictly speaking, I haven't really invited you to my home yet."

It can be said that except for the hotel in Chinatown, the residence before and after can't be considered his home.

"It sounds a bit... okay, how do I get there?" Tony suddenly had a strange feeling.

He was very withdrawn when he was studying, because he was too smart, and basically there was no one to talk to. After inheriting Stark Industries, he had no friends in the strict sense. All the familiar people around him were all around him, so after hearing Shen He say this, he realized that this seemed to be the first time he went to a friend's house as a guest like an ordinary person.

"Wait a minute, I still have to pack some things. Oh, call Steve, Coulson, Natasha and the others." Shen He looked very happy. "Buy enough food and wine, and we'll have a party to celebrate my promotion."

"This really needs a good celebration. I'll go inform them." Tony took a last look at Shen He and walked away.

Shen He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had finally fooled them for the time being. After all

, there were some subtle differences between his stance and those heroes.

After thinking for a while, Shen He waved and took Jeanne and Violet to pack up. After thinking for a while, he simply opened a "door" in his room for a long time, and then pulled a network cable into it. If he planned to move to the castle, it would not work if he lost contact with the outside world.

So, when Tony and others came to his room, they saw a dazzling door and the castle inside the door.

"My God..." Coulson couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I thought I had seen too many magical things, but the reality is always beyond imagination." "

In fact, I want to ask... Are those maids yours?" Tony was extremely jealous, "Don't say that this is also one of the benefits of Chaldea. My God, are you living the life of an ancient emperor? Why can't I really join Chaldea?"

"Hahaha."

Shen He laughed happily, without hiding the pride on his face.

When everyone really stepped into the castle, they were shocked by the automatic floating crystal lamp, exquisite and luxurious decorations, and a restaurant that could accommodate hundreds of people.

Natasha has been silent since she came in.

Only after she took the wine glass and pretended to accidentally pinch the maid's finger did she confirm that everything here was real.

The subtle expression on the maid's face was consistent with the reaction of a normal person.

Chaldea... is indeed an extremely mysterious and powerful force. Fury's caution is meaningless.

Shen He saw Natasha's actions and smiled.

No matter how luxurious the castle is, Tony, Steve and others would not think too much about it, but Natasha is different. Influenced by Fury, she always has some doubts about the true situation of Chaldea, but now, she should have made a decision in her heart.

"Everyone." Shen He took the wine glass from the maid and looked at the people in front of him. "I am very happy to meet you during this appointment. This is the truth, because I am just an ordinary person who is lucky enough to have the talent of a master, and you are heroes who stand out from millions of people."

"Is this considered Chinese humility?" Tony also walked in front of Shen He with a wine glass. "He, it is better to say that we are lucky to meet you. Oh, my God, I am getting goose bumps just by saying this."

"So Tony, do you also understand how those people who flatter you feel?" Natasha said a little bit.

"I don't remember you patting my butt, Miss Secretary." Tony naturally said back without any hesitation.

"I don't think this is flattery." Coulson suddenly interrupted, "Isn't this the truth?"

"Oh, Coulson."

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone else smiled and turned their heads away.

Obviously, they refreshed their new impression of this "honest agent".

"Hahaha, I like to hear that." Although Shen He's face turned red from the compliment, he still had some nerve, "I'll give you a raise when you get back, Coulson."

"Oh no, the 'modest' He is about to be spoiled." Tony joked, then moved a chair to sit in front of Shen He, "He, can you tell us more about Chaldea? To be honest, this is a bit too incredible. According to what you said before, this castle is located in the 'cracks between the worlds', right? Can we go to other worlds through here?" The

main scene is coming.

Shen He couldn't help but cheer up.

If you fool people once, you have to fool them again and again. It's tiring enough to just sort out the logic.

But it's better than exposing the existence of the system.

"I can't explain the specific principles. After all, I'm not a scientist." Shen He avoided explaining the principles first. "However, I can bring you, and even people from other worlds here, but I can't take you to other worlds from here."

"Why?" Tony frowned, not quite understanding. "As long as the passage exists, why can't we go through it?"

The door just now is still there. Since people from other worlds can be brought here, it should be feasible to bring them through that door to his world.

"This is the rule of the world." Shen He said seriously according to the setting he had in mind, "Only certain people can travel through the world. As I said just now, I am just lucky to have the talent of a 'Master'. A 'Master' is a group of people who can travel freely to different worlds. Chaldea relies on this to protect the human laws of the worlds."

"What about Miss Jeanne and the others?" Coulson couldn't help asking, "Are they also Masters?"

"No." Shen He shook his head, "They are 'Servants', relying on some kind of contract with the 'Master', they can also travel through the world, but the price is that they are restricted by the 'Master' to some extent. In addition, the contract is not so easy to reach, and strict conditions must be met. There is a lot of luck in it, and the contract is for life, so we are like a family."

"What you mean." Tony understood, "Except for Masters and Servants, no one can travel through the world?"

"This..." Shen He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly thought of the Holy Grail that appeared in the Magical Index world. He didn't dare to say it so categorically. "There is another situation, that is called 'smuggling', which will have a great impact on the world. Many of the world crises we have observed are caused by stowaways."

"What a pity." Tony shook his head helplessly.

He has always wanted to join Chaldea, but now it seems that he does not have the talent of a Master unless he can establish a contract with Shen He.

"This is also normal." Steve suddenly spoke, "The world is like this. Tony, you are a genius and a billionaire when you are born. Some people are even born as gods, but whether it is for the better or for the worse, we still have the possibility of change."

"Just like you, from a skinny little man to a war hero admired by everyone?" Tony took a sip of wine. "

So I cherish everything I have now, and I am also grateful for the doctor's trust in me back then." Steve shrugged.

"Well, I am also grateful to my father for making me a billionaire." Tony thought of Ivan Vanko.

That person who also had extraordinary talent, but because his father was not as good as his own father, he walked towards a path leading to the abyss.

Shen He was also silent for a while.

He was not born with talent as he said, and all the changes were because of the system.

He turned his head and looked at Jeanne who was standing beside him with a gentle look.

She had been looking at him.

Although it is hard to say whether this change will be good or bad, Shen He also cherishes everything he has now.
