I work as an editor at Marvel.

"May I ask what brings you here?" The guard dared not underestimate Nasus, but he was even more vigilant. Behind him was the rapidly developing home base, and he couldn't afford to let any threat slip by!

“Young man, I’m here to see someone.” Nasus’s voice was steady and strong. He didn’t pretend to be an old man. His current appearance was the most suitable for his age by ordinary human standards.

Just then, Ethan strode out of the town, sensing the power Nasus was exuding.

“Joe, this is my friend. Please register him.” Ethan said to the guard.

The guard nodded. Since he was a friend of the Prophet Ethan, he was someone who could be trusted.

Nasus then underwent a simple disinfection process with the town's medical staff, and was then taken into an isolation room. Throughout the process, Nasus did not have any unusual reactions; the procedure was normal, scientific, and orderly.

After the process was completed, Ethan approached Nasus. "I'm sorry, Mr. Nasus, this is mainly to prevent a large-scale outbreak."

“Don’t worry about it, it makes perfect sense.” Nasus reverted to his original form in front of Ethan, though still in a shrunken shape, otherwise he would have destroyed the makeshift house made of double-sided aluminum foil and ultra-fine glass wool panels.

Chapter 184 Jess and Victor: Congratulations on joining the book-copying team!

After a brief chat, Nasus got straight to the point. If they kept going on like this, Renekton in the tomb would get really impatient.

“Ethan, I’ve come to ask for your help,” Nasus said softly, his face ashen.

"You said it, and like I said, I will never refuse to help if it's something I can do," Ethan said readily.

“I would like to ask you to help me find someone.” Nasus waved his hand, and Rhaast’s image appeared in front of Ethan. “His name is Rhaast, one of the sergeants of the Shurima Ascended Legion. We discovered through some means that he is still alive, but he has not appeared in the world for a thousand years, and we really don’t know where he might be now.”

“Well…” Ethan hesitated for a moment, “To be honest, I haven’t had much contact with the mystical side either. I’ve been busy with the infrastructure development here lately, so at most I can make a phone call for you to ask about the situation and prepare yourself.”

Nasus nodded, indicating that he understood.

Ethan didn't mince words and made a phone call to Tony Stark right in front of Nasus.

"Ethan, what's wrong? Not enough ingredients? I'll double the amount for you."

Tony Stark said as he reviewed the textbook in front of him.

He is now a pre-screening officer for textbooks at Hextech. According to Heimerdinger, Tony learned magic from scratch, is proficient in technology, and has a high IQ. If even he can't understand these textbooks, then there must be a problem with the compilation process!

“No, Tony, I wanted to ask you to find someone.” Ethan was very familiar with Tony, so there was no need for formalities. He got straight to the point: “The Ascended Sergeant Major of Ancient Shurima, Rhaast.”

"The Ascended Legion? Master Chief?" Tony paused. "That name sounds familiar..."

Soon, Tony pulled out a book on the history of mysticism from the pile of books in front of him. One of the large chapters was dedicated to Shurima.

"Found it. There's a history book here that talks about this, but it hasn't been officially released yet, so it's still under secret protection. Once it's released, I'll send you a copy."

Tony Stark thought for a moment and said, "This is Hextech, not Stark Industries, so there are some explicit rules I still have to follow."

Ethan looked at Nasus, indicating that he had also heard that it was impossible for him to ask his friend to break the rules voluntarily.

Nasus took the phone. "Hello, I am Marshal of Shurima and the librarian of the National Library. I believe that the historical information about Shurima needs to be reviewed by us to correct any errors."

"What? Marshal of Shurima? Ancient Shurima has been extinct for so long. You might as well say you're Captain America who crawled out of the ground, then maybe I'd believe you a little," Tony said sarcastically. History books clearly state that Shurima was completely wiped out more than a thousand years ago.

Nasus's face turned cold. He didn't believe that the last time he and his men clashed with Xerath, it hadn't been observed by the Clock Tower and the Heavenly Court.

To claim that Shurima has perished when it has been observed is going too far!

Just as Nasus was about to explode, he saw Ethan in front of him and forcibly suppressed his anger. The guy on the other end of the phone wasn't a book editor, and he was also Ethan's friend, so he should give him some face.

“How can you make me believe you?” Nasus then asked.

Tony paused for a moment, thinking that the person on the other end didn't seem like a weak-willed conman.

In the past, Tony would have retorted immediately, but now that he has seen a bigger world and more geniuses, he has to be a little more humble. At the same time, he has also come to realize that this world is quite magical, and anything can happen.

"How about... you come to my place now? I'm at Hextech Research Institute..."

Before Tony could finish speaking, Nasus disappeared from Ethan's sight. During the call with Tony, he had directly located Tony's position.

“Hello, I’m here.” Nasus tapped his cane and said to the astonished Tony.

"Warning! Warning! Intruder detected!"

The alarm at the branch base immediately went off, but it stopped after just one ring, and Heimerdinger walked over from the side.

“Tony, why don’t you step out for a moment? I’ll speak with this gentleman,” Heimerdinger said.

Tony nodded, pressed the restore button on the desktop, and in a flash, the entire desktop was neatly arranged.

“Sir, entering the Hextech Research Institute branch without an invitation constitutes an intrusion. You’d better give me a reasonable explanation,” Heimerdinger said to Nasus, his temper flaring.

Nasus only took advantage of the fact that this was a branch base on Earth. If it were inside the Clock Tower, Nasus would have teleported directly to the prison.

“I did invite you. Didn’t your little friend invite me over to prove my identity?” Nasus retorted.

Upon hearing this, Tony stumbled and nearly fell.

Jess, who was standing outside the door, helped Tony up and patted him on the shoulder. "It's okay. We've got you covered on this point. I'll teach you how to apologize later. I have hundreds of apology letter templates. You can pick one."

"I told you I'd let you work with me on the technique of copying books, but you refused. Now it's too late. If we had studied it earlier, it could be in use by now," Victor said sarcastically. When he made this suggestion before, Tony had also mocked him, saying that he had never made any major mistakes in his life.

"I... damn it!" Tony couldn't even finish a sentence.

"Ahem." Heimerdinger coughed twice. "As a legend, isn't it a bit much to bully a child?"

"As a rigorous research institution, isn't it a bit excessive to include incorrect knowledge in a book for popular science purposes?" Nasus retorted.

"False knowledge?! Impossible!" Heimerdinger argued. Here, you can say whatever you want; you can't say they've done wrong science popularization. They've always required everyone to adhere to the theory that truth precedes rumors when popularizing science.

"Then tell me, when did Shurima fall?" Nasus's tone became somewhat aggressive. "If Shurima fell, then what are we?"

"The destruction we are referring to is the destruction of the political system and the state, not the destruction of every single person in Shurima," Heimerdinger explained.

"Politics? Our emperor is still alive. Nation? In the mystical world, a single legendary unit is enough to establish a nation. How come three legendary units here don't count? Are you playing American double standards?" Nasus retorted.

Heimerdinger didn't know what to say, not because he was convinced by Nasus, but because he was too lazy to argue with Nasus; it was pointless.

They use different standards. His current standard is based on the common standards of modern mysticism and the mortal realm, while Nasus's standard is based on standards from thousands of years ago.

In that era, let alone a solo legend, even a high-level professional could create a small country.

Chapter 185 People's joys and sorrows are not shared.

Outside the document review room, Tony Stark sighed and browsed the document on the screen in front of him. It was a self-criticism template sent by Jess, carefully selected by Jess and based on his many years of experience in making mistakes. It was a very effective template.

Hey~ The president of Stark Industries, a top scientist, and the most outstanding genius on the entire planet is now required to write a self-criticism. Even when Howard was alive, Tony rarely had to write one.

Listening to the argument in the document review room, Tony could only sigh repeatedly. Goodness, the argument was so intense that one written self-criticism might not be enough.

Soon, the noise in the document review room subsided, and Nasus pushed open the door and came out, carrying a large pile of documents, looking very unwell.

On the contrary, Heimerdinger looked quite pleased, as if he had gotten a good deal, and kept smiling at Nasus.

“Professor Honor, remember your words, don’t forget them,” Heimerdinger said.

"What comes out like a bell, it lands with a thud." Nasus took a deep breath. In exchange for the information he had, he had become an honorary professor at Hextech Technical College, teaching at least four large classes per semester. "Just send me the schedule in advance."

“No problem, do you need me to see you out?” Heimerdinger walked side by side with Nasus.

"No need, we can't teleport here, but we can go out!" Nasus glared at Heimerdinger, who had been insisting on the unauthorized intrusion issue while they were inside.

As a marshal of Shurima and a legendary professional, he couldn't very well blame everything on Tony Stark, especially since it was all because he had asked Ethan for help. So, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Heimerdinger remained silent. In any case, he had achieved his goal: to invite a legend to give a lecture for free. He had gotten a great deal.

Hextech Academy now has its own legitimate legends, so it's no longer being overshadowed by China on the surface.

The Clock Tower and the Heavenly Court have a good relationship, but a strong competitive atmosphere permeates between them, and all the conflicts of the past add another layer of meaning to this competition.

The completion of the Multiverse Portal before Warstar was a great honor for the Clock Tower, but seeing that the Celestial Court was about to overtake them in terms of worldly education, Heimerdinger was thinking about how to turn the tide.

Now things are better. Putting everything else aside, the teaching staff is on par on the surface.

After Nasus left, Tony stood obediently behind Heimerdinger, waiting to be criticized.

Tony had been with Heimerdinger for so long that he had finally been outmaneuvered by him. Whether it was magic or technology, he couldn't compare to Heimerdinger in any way.

As for the age gap, Tony would never use that as an excuse. When he used to mock some scientists, he never cared about their age. He's not good at playing the American double standard game.

“Mentor, I was wrong.” Tony Stark readily admitted his mistake. This was Jess’s first move: to show a good attitude when admitting fault.

"Wrong?" Heimerdinger raised his head and blinked. "Last time you used a beaker to make coffee? Or a constant-temperature magic circle to cook instant noodles?"

Tony glanced behind Heimerdinger and met Jess's gaze. Both were a little confused. Hadn't they turned off the security cameras while making coffee and instant noodles? How did their advisor know...?

"Oh~" Heimerdinger looked at Tony's expression, feigning sudden realization, and walked forward with his hands behind his back. "You mean about this matter?"

"There were indeed some violations of the regulations, but the problem is not mainly with you. In addition, you invited an honorary professor to the college. This time, your merits and demerits are offset. Go, show them off."

Tony Stark watched Heimerdinger's figure disappear around the corner, a little bewildered. His mentor seemed to be in a very good mood.

"That's pretty good, they didn't even scold you, letting you escape unscathed," Jess said, nudging Tony.

Yeah, hey, you know what?

"what?"

“My advisor isn’t angry, which means I don’t have to copy the book anymore~” Tony looked at Jess and smiled slightly.

"Get lost! Go review your textbooks! So many textbooks will exhaust you!" Jess looked at Tony's smug face and really felt an itch to get his hands on him.

"Hey~ I don't need to copy the book~"

"You! Your two most recent experiments have both failed!"

"Hey~ I don't need to copy the book~"

"You only scored 98 points on the exam to become a full-fledged researcher!"

"Hey~ I don't need to copy the book~"

"Can you use a different word?!"

"Hmm...you still have thousands of copies of the book left to finish!"

"Get out of here! Go back to your Stark Industries! You bastard!"

"Hey~ I don't need to copy the book~"

"Aaaaah!" Jess couldn't take it anymore, covered his head, and turned to run away.

Given that they are all standard geniuses, the three of them have a pretty good relationship, and teasing each other is the norm.

Tony watched Jess run away, then suddenly burst out laughing and cheerfully returned to the data review room.
