Chapter 139 The Curtain Rises



"I never thought that the famous Stark Industries boss, the arms dealer Tony Stark, would disappear in the desert."

"I heard that Stark Industries' stock price plummeted recently, and many people jumped off buildings. Among those who didn't jump off buildings, more than half have become mentally ill and crazy."

Holding a cup of light blue tea that helps to strengthen and grow mental strength, Taylor listened silently to Gwen's words in front of him.

Gwen's change did not surprise him. Even though she had become a certain version of Ghost Spider-Man, the process of enforcing justice was quite Buddhist. She would just take care of the situation if she encountered any, and if not, she would just be a college student peacefully.

"It's really unexpected. I don't know what those soldiers are doing. Can't they even protect one person?"

Taylor said calmly while holding a teacup. Gwen, who was sitting opposite Taylor, also agreed with him because her father had been sighing recently because it seemed that all his private money had been invested in Stark Industries stocks.

Poor Chief George~~~~ Taylor thought so after hearing Gwen say that he had used all his father's private money to buy stocks and lost a lot of money.

"Oh, by the way, last time you talked about the cutting-edge magnetization technology, can you tell me what you have learned about it now?"

After a moment of gloating, Taylor turned his attention to the topic Gwen was going to talk about next.

Looking at the serious Taylor, Gwen's cheeks puffed up, and she stared at Taylor like a cute little hamster, and spoke crisply.

"Mr. Wizard, didn't you say that you wizards prefer equal exchange? You haven't been here for a while. I have accumulated a lot of opinions on cutting-edge technology and their principles. I wonder if I can exchange these for something from you?"

Looking at the somewhat naive Gwen, Taylor raised his eyebrows and said jokingly.

"Ah, la la, I actually know all these things you mentioned. Even if you don't know about the more cutting-edge technology, I have channels to get it..."

“Is that so…?”

The subsequent development was not what Taylor had expected. Gwen frowned, lowered her head silently, and squeezed the file bag in her hand until it was a little deformed. There was a hint of frustration in her tone, as if she was very disappointed with herself and even felt inferior.

Looking at Gwen sitting opposite him, who looked weak like a little animal hiding in the corner, Taylor frowned slightly, wondering what he was thinking and finally said helplessly.

"Do you really want to help me? Just tell me what you want."

The apprentices of the White Tower Alliance have always been separated into boys and girls. Later, too many of them traveled to the zombie plane on their own and never saw a living person again, so that the ones they met when collecting the blood of King Ghidorah later were not that beautiful.

After becoming a wizard, all he saw were cavemen. There was no other way. His senses, vision, smell, and hearing were no longer on the same level as ordinary people. It was too difficult for him to see the pores with just a glance.

As Gwen is the only non-cave person and can be called a stunning beauty, Taylor is more willing to treat her with good mood. In addition, the other party has wizard talents far beyond ordinary people, which makes Taylor want to cultivate her.

After all, humans are creatures that prioritize visual senses. Taylor also intends to train Gwen to be his future secretary and assistant. Bobby is only suitable for staying in the rear area and supervising the production of resources and the processing of the puppet factory, etc. Bobby also shoulders the important task of researching bloodline knowledge and puppetry knowledge.

Things like counting existing resources, planning resources, being responsible for resource procurement and resource collection, etc. are not something that Bobby can do with his personality. Based on observations during this period, Taylor found that Gwen was very careful and planned everything in an orderly manner, even some things he wanted to write, which were organized into categories. This is one of the qualities that a butler should have.

Taylor is more accustomed to entrusting roles like sitting in the rear, being in charge of combat or being the general manager to people close to him rather than puppets. Humans are social creatures after all. Bobby and Kano cannot always be with Taylor for a long time. Taylor himself wants to train an assistant, or a secretary to follow him around, who can say a few words from time to time to remind him who he is, rather than a machine wizard who only knows how to do crazy research, crazy experiments, and crazy learning.

His past life always had some influence on him. In his past life, he was a person who valued friends and family very much. Suddenly he came to a whole new world, and his heart was somewhat empty. The more traditional wizard values ​​were sometimes not suitable for people like him who carried memories of past lives.

Taylor thought about making a puppet, but artificial ones never have that feeling, and he didn't choose randomly. He had to choose one that had value or research value.

"Yeah... Actually, I still want to be a wizard... To be honest, I always come here just to try it out. I don't know anything about wizard etiquette, so I just think..."

Gwen, with her head down, curled up on the sofa and nodded silently. She had always wanted to win the favor of Tyler, the mysterious wizard, on her own. On the one hand, Tyler was young and handsome, and on the other hand, she was curious about the fairy-tale profession of wizards.

If possible, she also wants to become a witch.

"There is no such a way to help me. It would have been useful when I first came here, but now I have my own channels."

As Taylor spoke, he gently touched his chin. In Gwen's eyes that were mixed with hope and disappointment, Taylor finally spoke.

"How about you become my assistant first? I want to see if you have the qualities to be a qualified wizard. If you can, I can teach you. But I have to tell you in advance that after I teach you, you can only follow me in the future."

"Finally, I chose you for three reasons. First, the visual effect. Second, you have talent. Third, the source of your ability. How can an ordinary spider elevate your life level? How can it not become more powerful? There must be a deeper reason behind it."

Taylor's words made Gwen's eyes burst into amazing light instantly. Taylor could even see a small bright flame blinking in Gwen's beautiful eyes.

As for studying the source of one's own abilities, it's not necessarily about killing people, so that's completely fine.

"However, the most important thing to become a wizard is to be ruthless when conducting experiments. Have you ever dissected an animal?"

"Yes, yes. Our school once had us dissect mice and frogs."

"That won't do. What you will dissect in the future will be far beyond your imagination. You have to be mentally prepared, otherwise you won't even be able to get started as a wizard. You are still a long way from this. You should start with cleaning. I went through this before."

"Oh well."

Since returning from the folded plane, Taylor has entrusted all matters of the folded plane to Kano and Bobby. After all, there is nothing worth his attention now. Hawks and Achilles Warrior also stayed there.

Compared with the special environment there, Taylor suddenly found that the plane with normal element concentration was more suitable for him. After all, excessive element concentration would always cause some subtle changes, and such changes would always appear in various ways and for various reasons.

Except for some extremely special experiments on elements, in fact, too abundant element concentrations are not suitable for wizards' research. If a wizard needs some special element environment, he can rely on his magic power to gather the elements of the surrounding space to create one artificially.

I have studied a lot of knowledge about space, and have gained a lot of experience in the various space techniques and space manipulation taught by Master Gu Yi. In fact, these are just a direction and a way of using space manipulation.

If one's research on space is profound enough, and one's perception and control of space is fluent enough, one can use any means to further understand space science through the special space environment of folded planes.

Taylor also gradually realized that an overly fragile space could not bring him much room for improvement, because only when the space strength was strong enough, the space barrier was strong enough, and the intensity of the space turbulence and space gaps was large enough could he bring further improvement.

The space is too small. Even if it has many changes, it only opens a beginning in various directions and categories and cannot go any deeper.

After staying there for almost three months, Taylor collected some data and conducted experiments suitable for when the element concentration is too high. After measuring the reaction of his own blood to the high-concentration element environment, he returned to his silver castle.

Who would have thought that three months later, the famous technological genius Mr. Tony had been kidnapped deep in the desert, preparing for his transformation.

As one of the most powerful technological geniuses in this dimension, Tony Stark's mind, his wisdom, and the inspiration he can bring are undoubtedly extremely representative and valuable. Taylor knows that the wisdom of one person is limited, while the wisdom of countless people added together is infinite.

Especially a peerless genius like Mr. Stark is more suitable to explore the mysteries of knowledge and truth with him. A super-talent like Tony Stark has a richer knowledge reserve, and the sparks of inspiration he produces are no less than the sparks of inspiration that Taylor himself produced when he was studying witchcraft.

If he goes further into the depths, he wants to see what kind of terrifying existence will be created if Mr. Iron Man can access the wizard's knowledge system, establish the wizard's knowledge through the wizard's concepts, and then add the technological schools he has learned to mix the two into one.

They are both pursuing knowledge and truth, but the levels and aspects of their research are different. Taylor sometimes feels that Mr. Iron Man may become the leading mechanical wizard in the future.

"Gwen, if I want to work with that missing playboy now, do I need to pull him out of the desert right now?"

Taylor, who was thinking about it, suddenly called Gwen. Gwen was now arranging books in the endless bookshelves according to Taylor's requirements.

"Playboy... the arms dealer?"

Gwen put a thick green book with beautiful patterns on it into the last compartment of the second shelf. She wiped the sweat off her forehead, thought for a moment and said, "He has disappeared in the desert now. If you can find him, Mr. Wizard, maybe you can rescue him from the desert."

“This is too much trouble.”

Taylor, who was controlling the two books hanging in front of him, didn't want the playboy to come and make trouble in front of him. Moreover, it would be too low taste for him to go and find him in person. The other party was not worthy of him now.

To explain, the main reason why the protagonist teaches Gwen is because of Gwen's own abilities. After all, there is nothing special about a spider biting people. It is more like a superpower medium or transit station. Moreover, the energy source of the body changes after gaining the ability is unknown (at least the ability is not supplemented by eating and drinking), so the background is not simple, and it needs to be studied.
