Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 80 If you work harder, Mason will be able to wear new armor soon.
The convinced Green Goblin had a strong execution ability. He immediately began to count the materials needed to make two magnetic field enhanced world stabilizers, and then pessimistically discovered that this was an astronomical figure.
With the current inventory in Osborne Tower, the maximum that can be built is an instrument base.
Mainly, this thing is responsible for adjusting the earth's magnetic field and strengthening it. Just by hearing this function, you can tell that it requires a lot of high-end materials, but Mason promised that Utopia would secretly send subsequent resources, which made the Green Goblin temporarily relieved.
He began to plan to take advantage of the opportunity to make some money.
Mason did not participate in this. He was a craftsman who only focused on his own areas of expertise, and he still needed to build a lot of things.
When he returned to his engineering laboratory, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a lady in a black robe admiring the precision instruments that Mason had made himself and placed on the display stand.
Logically speaking, he should have sounded the alarm when his lab was invaded, but Mason didn't care and just asked curiously:
"How do you, a busy man, have time to come to me?"
"Why? As an ally, can't I come and see the progress of your work?"
Ciri turned her head, took off her starry sky mask and hood, and brushed her long silver hair. She picked up the prototype of the world enlargement and reduction device next to her and said to Mason jokingly:
"Or do you have some secret here? The kind that I can't discover?"
"That's not the case."
The captain shrugged and didn't care about Ciri's sudden visit.
He returned to the unfinished creation when he left, looked at the pile of extracted metal, then took out his Thor's forging hammer from his bag and shook it up and down in his hand. Like the best blacksmith, he picked up the metal ingot, placed it on the iron felt and began to hammer it.
Under Ciri's astonished gaze, a bolt of lightning would burst out from Thor's forging hammer every two times Mason struck, infusing some special energy into the iron block in Mason's hand.
This is due to the power of the god of thunder that has been transformed from a weapon into a manufacturing tool but has not been eliminated. It helps its user to refine metal impurities while giving it the effect of [Energy Infusion].
"Your blacksmith hammer... is Mjolnir, right?"
The well-informed Ciri quickly recognized the origin of the forging hammer in Mason's hand. She said in surprise:
"Such a good weapon, basically the best in the parallel world, you actually changed it into a blacksmith hammer, isn't that a waste?"
"It can still blow people's heads off, but I find crafting more satisfying than combat."
Mason looked up at Ciri and said:
"Do you want me to use Thor's hammer to make a set of armor for you? I have many patterns to choose from, as well as weapons. I have also mastered the forging of artifacts from the Isu world.
If you're good with swords, there's plenty to choose from.
Of course, you have to bring your own materials.
That’s the rule.”
"Tsk, cheapskate."
Ciri curled her lips, reached out and took out a bag from her waist and dumped it out. Ten large boxes of materials were quickly piled up in Mason's workshop. She put her hands on her hips and said to Mason:
“This is the reward given to you by Old A. He was really generous this time because you helped us win over the powerful ally Utopia.
Fifteen tons of vibranium ore and ten tons of uru gold ore.
Although you need to refine it yourself, these resources are not easily available. "
"ton?"
Mason was stunned by the unit of measurement.
He pushed the frame forward, opened the lid of the material box with a crowbar, and picked up an irregular piece of ore from it. The surface of the ore was covered with dark blue "blood vessel" marks, and under special lighting it would refract light into a very strange spectrum.
"When I used vibranium to make things before, I always calculated it by 'gram'. Old A's gift does feel like a gift from a nouveau riche, but I have to say, it has greatly improved my impression of him."
He tossed the vibranium ore in his hand up and down, then turned back and said to Ciri:
"If he could continue to be so generous, I would definitely devote myself to the cause of the Quint Society. So much vibranium is an unexpected gain, which can just meet a certain expectation in my heart.
I thought it would never happen.”
"As long as you are happy."
Ciri smiled, waved her hand and said:
"Now that the stuff has been delivered, it's time for me to leave. I don't know what the warlock has been doing these days in Star Castle. I have to go back and look after him.
There is news and letters to contact. "
"Wait, Ciri."
Mason called out to his superior and asked in a low voice:
"What do you know about the Skrulls?"
"Um?"
This question made Xili frown, and she said:
"Why do you ask that? Did you encounter those guys? Where?"
"It's a bit complicated."
In the workshop, while Mason was selecting ore, he told Ciri what had happened in Osborne Tower and Utopia in the past few days without hiding anything.
Among the allies he has recognized so far, Ciri is one of the trustworthy ones.
However, she usually didn't get involved in Mason's affairs in the base world, so she didn't know about Team K's trouble with the Skrulls before.
After listening to Mason's revelation, the hunter lady's brows were furrowed to the point where they could pinch a fly to death.
She whispered:
"This is wrong! The Skrulls do not belong to the sequence of explorers and warriors. They have always been a separate army. It is said that their population is protected by a mysterious big man, so they can remain independent in the current parallel world.
However, there are not as many of them as you think, so they are only used in key areas.
But Osborne Tower...
Do you suspect that the sudden appearance of the Skrulls is related to the warlocks?"
Mason nodded, looked at Ciri, and said:
"Zakon's disappearance was carried out before my exploration of my home world began. In other words, this was not a spur-of-the-moment decision on his part. I have sufficient reason to believe that a small number of Skrulls are under the command of the warlock.
At the very least, they have a cooperative relationship.
Continuing our investigation of this line may help us figure out the collaborators of the Warlock faction in the Council of Hope. If we want to kill him, then eliminating all threats in one fell swoop is a necessary strategy.
I think that if Old A is planning to take full control of the Star Club, he wouldn't mind taking advantage of the situation to get rid of the "big shots" who pose a threat to him.
Therefore, I would like to ask you to take a look at the internal relationships of the Quint Society and help me investigate the recent movements of the Skrulls and the target worlds they are invading.
This information can help.”
"That makes sense. I'll put some effort into it."
Ciri did not refuse.
She thought for a moment, put her hood back on, and said jokingly:
"You and the swordsman are now both compatriots and fellow villagers. Do you want me to transfer you to her side? Perhaps the cooperation between you will be smoother?"
"No, I'm used to your kind boss. Besides, the swordsman's carefree personality is really not suitable for me. No matter how friendly she is, she is still a hell creature. Even the scumbag Kang who doesn't care about meat and vegetables doesn't dare to make dirty jokes to her."
Mason was now concentrating on selecting vibranium ore. He picked and chose among the vibranium ore like picking watermelons, and said without turning his head :
"What? Are you disgusted with me, your subordinate who always causes trouble for you?"
There was no answer behind him, only the energy extension when the silver rift opened. As he left this place, the hunter whispered:
"Actually, it's not good for us to be too close. Look at you now that you don't even have the respect you deserve for me. I came to deliver something but I couldn't even get a cup of coffee.
Tsk, never mind, that's it.
Get me some nice swords so I can hang them on my wall."
"Buzz"
The crack disappeared and the workshop returned to peace. Mason returned to the forging table with a few pieces of ore and called Fox's name to make the phoenix appear on his shoulder.
He pointed at the ore in front of him and said to Fox who was staring at him over his shoulder:
"Let's light a fire, little guy, and melt them to a temperature where they can be extracted. Wakanda uses sonic instruments to mine, but I guess this kind of ore can be smelted with the most primitive smelting technology."
"Quack?"
The proud Phoenix froze on Mason's shoulder.
It didn't expect that this bastard owner was so obsessed that he dared to let it perform the work of "blower" and "furnace". It was so angry that it planned to spit out fire to burn to death this bastard who dared to look down on it!
The blue purifying fire was already brewing in the phoenix's long beak, but the next moment, Mason's words dispelled all of Fox's anger.
He took out a piece of fragrant thousand-year-old paulownia wood from his bag, rubbed it in his hands and said to Fox:
"I was going to use Isu alloy to make you a nest decoration, but we have better materials now, right? How can I bear to let my cute little phoenix live in a second-rate nest?
That’s what I planned!”
He spread out another blueprint, pointed to the beautiful little bird's nest on it and said to Fox:
"We'll use vibranium as the outline, uru gold to form a frame for you to stand on, and then use the thousand-year-old sycamore that I asked someone to get from the secret treasure house as the main material.
I also plan to get some unicorn tail feathers from Xiaoza to make decorations for you. As for the gems, I have contacted Colossus and he may send them to us tomorrow.
They are all top-quality raw ores. I will help you polish them by hand...how about it?
Are you satisfied with this bird's nest? "
The bird with flame in its mouth tilted its head and looked at the drawing in front of it. It was smart enough to understand this complicated thing.
After a few seconds, the very picky bird nodded with satisfaction, expressing its approval of the appearance of the bird's nest designed by Mason, and thinking that its owner was not hopeless.
At least he was very attentive in dealing with the requests made by his noble self.
"But Vibranium and Urugein are both raw ores. They need to be smelted, right?"
Mason picked up the blacksmith hammer that was shining with lightning, and slowly said to the bird on his shoulder:
"This kind of high-grade material cannot . You don't want your bird's nest to emit a strange smell, do you? Come, I just need a little Phoenix Fire to give it a little 'purification' property.
In this way, your Bird's Nest will become a holy place that is immune to all evil. How impressive will it be when you show it outside?
Aren't you planning on finding a partner or something?
You have to have a nice house before you can talk about marriage, right?
Or let Miss Phoenix live a hard life with you? I think although you are still a juvenile, you are definitely a responsible and polite Phoenix, so you have to consider your child in advance.
We will refine some more vibranium components now, so that when your child needs a house in the future, I can quickly prepare it for him... What are you waiting for ?
There are fifteen tons of raw ore here.
We are under time pressure and have a heavy workload.”
So the next moment, the scorching phoenix fire was sprayed onto the forging table under Mason's guidance.
The stone of the vibranium ore was quickly peeled off by this highest level of magic flame, and the liquid vibranium ore in it was also quickly heated to the point where it could be shaped and forged.
Thor's hammer was swung up, and arcs of electricity flew everywhere as it struck the hot vibranium ingot.
Although what was placed in front of him was the blueprint of Fox's Phoenix Nest, what appeared in Mason's mind was a complete set of Fenrir armor's components and the manufacturing process of the outer armor.
Well, thanks to Mr. A's generous gift and Brother Fox's hard work, our Mason will soon have his own vibranium power armor!
——
Although it was a bit ungentle to use Fox's beastly wisdom to help him smelt the ore, Mason did not deceive his exhausted bird when tonight came.
He actually used his ever-improving forging and jewelry processing skills to create the prototype of the outer frame of the Phoenix Nest for Fox, and even reserved holes for gemstone inlays.
The elegant shape made Fox very satisfied.
It chirped and returned to its temporary nest to rest, and planned to come back tomorrow morning to help Mason smelt the ore as agreed.
Well, if it was a job assigned by the boss, the workers would naturally touch it if they could, but now they are working hard for themselves, so naturally the attitude is different.
"Have a good rest tonight and don't stay up too late."
Mason, with a smile on his face, waved to the flying phoenix in the workshop, and looked back at the pile of strangely shaped metal ingots piled up behind him.
Those were the materials that Fox had been tricked into giving up on the grounds of "poor quality", but they had all been shaped into standard parts that could be fitted into the power armor frame.
According to the current progress, in one more day, his power armor components will be completed.
Of course, it is impossible to make everything out of vibranium. At least the internal frame must be made of urugin, which has first-class energy conduction. Various precision modules have been designed and produced in the suitcase factory.
"I have to tinker with some of the details."
Mason stroked his chin and thought for a while. He decided that it was necessary to take this opportunity to upgrade Fenrir's armor for the third time, so he sealed the workshop and went to the armor storage room.
There is a strange object placed here, a red and yellow painted Super Mark Armor, which was found from Red Skull's collection. It is labeled "Extremis Armor", but it is slightly different from what Mason remembered.
This is normal. Tony Stark in each world will have "personalized" changes to the design concept of the armor. This is the reason why there can't be two identical leaves in the world.
Even time-space entities can have significant differences, such as John Wick and Johnny Silverhand, which is the best proof.
"Click"
Mason placed the armor, which was covered with battle scars and explosion residues, on the dismantling machine and intended to disassemble it, but was stopped by a familiar voice when he reached the arm component.
"No! Don't pull it with brute force! You will damage the connector. This suit of armor has a voice control mode. You only need one command to put it into the upgrade and transformation mode."
"I know, but I can't imitate Tony Stark's unique voice."
Mason took off his greasy gloves and looked back at the guy who was walking towards him with a glass of red wine in his hand. He shrugged and said:
"Your space-time entity has assigned twenty-seven checkpoints to his voice commands. That is not something that can be cracked in a short time."
"So that's why you asked Norman to inform me? To let me risk being discovered and return to my hometown? Just for a broken armor?"
Tony No. 7, who had met him once before, drank his wine unhappily, glared at Mason, and then looked at the Extremis Armor of the Disassembler. A trace of nostalgia appeared on his face, and then he coughed lightly and said to the armor:
"Disassembly and free combination mode!"
"Command confirmed... Welcome back, Tony."
Amid the electronic sounds, the Desperate Armor, which Mason couldn't pull apart at all, suddenly broke into thousands of modules and shattered to the ground like collapsing building blocks.
"My Mark series armor is an outdated design, but it is not suitable for fools to use."
Tony No.7 said unhappily:
"You should continue to work on your Fenrir armor."
"Don't be angry. I didn't call you back for this armor, but for something more important."
Mason gestured to him to "follow" and took him all the way to the K team's important item collection warehouse, and activated the command to raise the biological capsule hidden under the floor.
As the old but still functioning bio-capsule lit up with a dim light, Mason turned sideways and made a "please" gesture to the grumbling Tony No. 7.
The latter walked forward with a glass of wine and looked at the teenage girl sleeping in the bio-capsule. When he saw her face, Tony No. 7's expression fell into silence and seriousness.
"This is Morgan 'Pepper' Stark Jr., nicknamed 'Ironheart', a fellow countryman of mine."
Mason said beside him:
"The poor kid was seriously injured in the nuclear war and sealed himself with Stark technology. I can break it by force, but I think it might be better for you to do this job."
