“Sure enough, they are looking for Jackson!” Tony was still quiet, but after hearing Rick’s words, Tony murmured silently.
“Oh, You must have known that I have a good relationship with Mirage Knight. However, can I know why are you looking for Mirage Knight?” Tony asked with a smile on his face as his mind raced with possibilities.
From their previous intervention in rescuing Lin Rui, Tony can roughly judge that they do not have any malicious intent towards Lin Rui. However, Tony would not simply offer Lin Rui’s information. Therefore, he intends to find the reason why the two sorcerers were looking for him.
“Well, we did come to you because of the relationship between Mr. Stark and Mirage Knight. However, we don’t know how to tell you what we want with Mirage Knight.” Facing Tony’s question, Rick who himself didn’t know the answer couldn’t reply to him. The point is, Ancient One didn’t tell them why they were looking for Mirage Knight.
“You don’t know? This would be a bit difficult then. After all, I don’t know you very well and it’s impossible for me to tell you Mirage Knight’s information like this.” Tony didn’t get the answer he wanted and said.
Upon hearing Tony’s words, Rick and David looked at each other. Although the earth’s sorcerers are not that isolated from the outside world, they usually do not make much contact with ordinary people. They really have little experience in how to deal with such things and situations.
“Actually, the Ancient One is the one who wants to see Mirage Knight. However, we don’t know what he wants with him. However, we can guarantee that no harm will fall upon Mirage Knight.” After a little thought, David directly told the truth.
“Ancient One, is that the sorcerer who killed that Demon that day?” Tony asked after hearing David’s explanation.
Last time, Tony and Lin Rui were accidentally involved in the battle between the Earth Sorcerers and the Demon while fighting Venom Spiderman. Tony also saw the real sorcerers for the first time in his life. Moreover, after listening to Lin Rui’s introduction, it seems that the leader of these sorcerers is named the Ancient One and he is a very powerful person, Lin Rui seemed to have respect him very much.
“Well, that’s right. Ancient One is the leader of the Sorcerers and he is Sorceror Supreme of the Earth.” David and Rick were very respectful as they spoke about the Ancient One.
“In that case, I can tell Mirage Knight himself about your purpose. But whether he agrees or not is not for me to decide.” Determining that the sorcerers would not do anything to Lin Rui, Tony let out a little sigh of relief.
“That would be great, thank you very much, Mr. Stark.” Rick said happily when he heard that Tony was willing to help them contact Mirage Knight.
“Haha, don’t mention it. By the way, when Mirage Knight was kidnapped by Hydra a few days ago and when we cornered Francis, did you guys made a move?” Waving his hands, Tony said with a smile. Then he asked again to determine whether the fluctuations detected by JARVIS that day were in fact magic.
“Yes, we were there that day. We were looking for Mirage Knight that day but we found that he was captured and that person was going to be killed, so we made a move in secret and saved that guy.” Rick admitted generously.
Moreover, this is also an act of goodwill. He believes that since Tony now knows that they have made efforts in the rescue of Mirage Knight, he should be more willing to help them.
“So it was you guys. I was wondering who actually helped us in the dark.” Tony heard that it was indeed the two sorcerers who had helped them in the dark that day and Tony made an expression of sudden understanding.
Seeing Tony’s appearance, both sorcerers were happier. It seems that Mr. Stark is still satisfied with their actions. Maybe he and sorcerer will go to meet Mirage Knight in person. But what they didn’t know was that Tony was thinking his own little thoughts.
Watching the tiny expressions on the two sorcerers faces in front of him, a subtle cunning light flicker across Tony’s face.
“Actually, since I saw the power of the sorcerers last time, I have become fascinated with magic. I wonder if the two of you can help me with something? This way, I can also help you to contact Mirage Knight faster.” Finally, Tony spoke out his first thought in his mind after seeing these two Sorcerers. He needs real sorcerers to help him do some experiments so that he can directly test whether his magic Iron Man Armor has any development value.
“A little help? What is it?” David asked in doubt as he heard Tony’s words.
Rick on the side also looked at Tony in confusion. How could David and Rick know that Tony is not a warm-hearted person? He had dug a hole for them to jump in.
“That, I recently wanted to study the principle of magic, but I have not found a feasible method. So, I want to ask if you can help me do some experiments on magic.” Tony asked while staring at the two sorcerer’s face.
Sure enough, after hearing Tony’s request, Rick and David looked at him a little funnily. No one has made such a request with them before. Of course, most of the ordinary people that they knew were unaware that they were sorcerers.
So after looking at each other, Rick said, “Mr. Stark, I really don’t understand what you mean so let me ask you this. Do you want us to help you study magic? Or do you want to learn magic yourself?”
“No no! No! I’m not learning magic? What? Can I learn?” Hearing Rick’s words, Tony first shakes his head in a hurry and then asks in surprise.
“This, learning magic is a serious matter, and we can’t simply teach you.” Seeing Tony’s sudden excitement, Rick replied awkwardly.
Although the number of sorcerers on Earth is not large, their heritage has not been too relaxed for ordinary people. Only people with good minds and perseverance will be accepted to learn magic. There is another route which is fate, which is also the philosophy of Ancient One.
“Is that so? We’ll talk about that later, but you can help me with some magic experiments.” After hearing Rick’s words, Tony soon calmed down. Now he doesn’t have much energy to learn magic, so he still focuses on his original purpose.
“This …” Rick wanted to refuse. After all, the sorcerers have their own pride and they didn’t want to do this instinctively.
However, before Rick can refuse, Tony has spoken again. “After all, Mirage Knight was rescued from Hydra, and he still needs to rest quietly.”
It is clear from the expressions of the two sorcerers that they do not want to help him with magic, so Tony silently brings out Mirage Knight’s name. As long as the two men are in a hurry to find Mirage Knight, Tony still has some confidence to get their help.
After hearing Tony’s words, Rick and David looked at each other again. They were a bit simple, but they weren’t stupid, and they could clearly understand what Tony meant. As long as they don’t help, Tony won’t help them contact Mirage Knight. Therefore, they were feeling really helpless for a while.
“Well, we promise to help you.” Finally, Rick and David, who did not know what Ancient One wanted with Mirage Knight, agreed to Tony’s request.

i have a problem here because the biggest difference between tony and doom is that tony want to work his way up to science being indistinguishable from magic, but has zer interest in actually learning it as it ish cheating. doom just learned both and is working on it from both sides until they naturally blend.
speaking of which. i hope doom becomes an ally of jackson since doom is one of the only pure of heart person in that universe and is worthy of pretty much everything whos criteria is based on character and goodness.
Thanks for the chapter mate!
he blackmail the sorceress?
