The knight passing by Marvel

Chapter 663 Strange
"I'll be back as soon as possible." Greer left this sentence and left in a hurry, leaving Stark alone in the laboratory to continue working on his Veronica system. The Mark44 heavy armor is just Vero Part of Nika also includes ground reconnaissance satellites capable of counting leaves, armament depots, prison-style isolation warehouses, communication modules for Unicom Stark industrial communication satellites, and so on.

Veronica represents the crystallization of the highest technology of Stark Industries, integrating countless high-tech, and can also maneuver in space like a spaceship to avoid attacks or quickly reach designated areas, or launch attacks in outer space .

Stark, who has obtained a lot of future technology and alien technology, almost overturned the original Mark44 design. It took nearly a year to redesign Mark44. In addition to the ion cannon in the palm and the laser beam on the shoulder, he also integrated The energy barrier greatly increases the defense of Mark44.

As for other super-composite materials, experimental nano-repair equipment on important parts, anti-gravity engines, flight stabilizers, etc., they are basically updated, and there are too many new technologies applied, so Mark44 has also become an experimental model. Get ready for the next generation of heavy armor.

While Stark was busy with his private work, Greer also took the elevator to the downstairs parking lot, summoned a decade motorcycle, put on his helmet, and twisted the accelerator, the motorcycle jumped out immediately, from the quiet underground parking lot After rushing out, we shuttled through the crowded Manhattan road at an extremely fast speed, and it took only 5 minutes to arrive at No. 177A Bleecker Street, including the time spent waiting for the red light.

Drive the motorcycle into the courtyard, put the helmet on the back seat, and walk towards the gate of the Twist Temple. The decade motorcycle behind him shrank rapidly, and in an instant it turned into a card, spinning towards the grid Riel, with his back turned, Greer raised his hand and clamped the card with two fingers. With a thought, the card disappeared and returned to the knight card box.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the Twist Temple, he saw the guardian of the Twist Temple, Daniel Durham, the mystic master, coming down the century-old stairs, and saluted Greer respectfully: "My lord. "

"Master Daniel!" Greer also saluted back.

I hurriedly said goodbye, and I was very busy without stopping to say hello. The guardian of the contracted temple is not just staying in the temple. There are many things to be busy with the guardian mages and so on.

Through the space door of the Twisting Temple, you can instantly arrive at Karma Taj, which is built deep in the iceberg and snowy ridge. In one step, you can go from a high-rise building made of reinforced concrete to an ancient building complex with almost no houses of three floors or above.

Whether it is a house or a corridor, the building materials are mainly wood and stone. Since its completion, the magic circle has been blessed in the past generations, so that this ancient building complex can maintain for thousands of years. Under the auspices of the leadership, the modernization was completed.

Wires, broadband, WiFi, lights, refrigerators, air conditioners are installed, absolutely keep pace with the times, do not close off from the outside world, go out and change into suits, jeans and other clothes, and people other than Karma Taj It makes no difference.

But today everyone is wearing the traditional costumes of Karma Taj, even Greer went back to the room assigned to him, and changed into the 2.0 version of the magician costume. Compared with the first generation, some bells and whistles have been changed. , become Karma Taj some.

On the training ground of the Karma Taj Center, which is comparable in size to a football field, many magic apprentices gathered together, looking enviously at the 'graduate' Stephen Strange who walked up the stone platform step by step. After the assessment, he officially became a mystic.

Greer stood in the middle of the high platform, and according to the fixed procedure, he first explained the purpose of Kama Taj to protect the world, and then the rules of Kama Taj mages: you can’t use magic for personal gain, magic is for protection, not for showing off, and you swear to protect Karma Taj and the Earth
Then Stephen Strange half-kneeled to swear at the residence of the supreme mage Li Dai in the East, that is to say, repeat the above words. The ceremony was quite serious.

Once a mage is found to have violated his oath, Kama Taj will send mages including the supreme mage to hunt down and kill them. Maintain the mystery of Karma Taj and keep the spells secret.

Not all mages want to stay in Karma Taj and continue to learn advanced spells. Many apprentices finish their studies, but in the face of strict regulations, they shrink back and leave Karma Taj to live the lives of ordinary people.Kama Taj will not stop it, as long as you don't use spells casually, you can return to human society at will. After all, not everyone can endure the life of an ascetic monk, but they only want to protect others and cannot seek power and money for themselves.

Otherwise, Wang wouldn't be so poor that he couldn't even afford hamburgers, and he would only have to buy a sandwich to stuff his teeth with only two hundred rubles out of his pocket.After all, Karma Taj does not charge tuition fees, and those who take care of food, housing, and clothes will naturally not be paid. A mage who only cares about learning spells is bound to be poor.

When Greer was wandering in the sky, Stephen Strange, with the help of the king, completed all the vows. The last step was to change the gray-white magic apprentice uniform into a blue-blue mystic uniform, and to receive the magic arms.

Greer picked up the long-prepared mystic suit from the table next to him, handed it to Stephen Strange who caught it with both hands, and then put the Ax of Angalomus on the mystic suit, saying: "Congratulations, Mage Strange!"

"Sir!"

The ceremony ended, and the envious magic apprentices dispersed, continuing to practice gestures, incantations, footwork, etc. of magic skills, while the new mage Strange put on coarse clothes that had nothing to do with beauty and luxury, and weighed them down. He weighed the Angalumus ax that he had chosen in the magic weapon room before the ceremony. Compared with the magic wand, he still felt that the sharp weapon was more reliable as a doctor.

Stephen Strange looked at the ax in his hand and the 'new clothes' on his body, and then at the ugly centipede-like scars on his ten fingers, his hands trembled slightly as soon as he exerted force, let alone pick up the scalpel, It's just that I can't write very well.

Just as he was going back to his room along the corridor, he heard a crisp voice behind him: "You don't seem very happy, Mage Strange."

Stephen Strange knew who it was without turning his head, but he turned around quickly, bowed his head, and said, "My lord!"

Greer saluted back, looked at Doctor Strange who was carrying the axe, and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with the magic weapon you chose? Maybe you can go back and have a look, maybe there is something more suitable."

"No, thank you, I am very satisfied."

"So... are you worrying about your hand injury?" Greer looked at Strange's scarred hands, especially when he was holding the Angalumus axe, it was more clear.

Strange didn't answer, but turned his head away, not looking at Greer, obviously acquiescing.

"Many people in Karma Taj learn magic with various purposes. Some want to use magic to revive their dead relatives, and some want to gain powerful power.
The ancient master once told you that magic is a method of using energy. The spell that activates magic is like a computer program. It builds the source code of the real world. The function of the program depends on the person who edits the program. Created by successive supreme mages. "

"I know!"

Greer offered his advice: "Then you might try creating a new spell to heal your hands."

"Me? Create new spells?" Strange was a little surprised. He has only studied magic for a few years, and he has never had such an idea. Just like a high school student who just started learning calculus, he would never think about what I would do. A mathematical conjecture that no one has come up with.

"Why not?" Greer continued to walk forward, motioned Strange to follow, and walked into the center of Karma Taj, which is also the core node of Karma Taj's protective net. Where, a small room guards the whole earth.

It was the first time for Strange to come to the restricted area. As soon as he entered Karma Taj, he was told the areas that he must not trespass on: the residence of the supreme mages of the past, the library and other areas, and this is one of them.

"This is the center of Karma Taj, and it can also be said to be the center of Midgard," Greer said as he put his hand on the high platform in the center, and the magic power surged, making the plain stone platform glow. A golden light was emitted, quickly flowing through the room of less than ten square meters, and finally gathered on the ceiling to form a 3D model of the earth, and there were countless criss-crossing golden giant nets on the surface, almost enveloping the earth.

"This protective net originating from the three holy temples is the first line of defense for the earth, and it is used to resist the invasion from multiverses and different dimensions. As long as there are three holy temples, the safety of the earth can be guaranteed. The temple protects the earth. And the mage protects the temple, this is the duty handed down from the first supreme mage Agamotto." Greer was here slowly, and what the ancient mage told him, he narrated to Strand one by one Strange to hear.

In the beginning, it was the duties of Karma Taj, and gradually began to involve Dormammu, the secret of the Supreme Mage, so that Strange finally couldn't help asking: "My lord, why did you tell me this?"

"Because you are the next supreme mage selected by the ancient one."

"What?" Strange almost threw the ax away in surprise.

"I was just ordered to help protect Kama Taj for a period of time, and you are the real successor. The ancient master once said that you have infinite potential. Perhaps, you can surpass her and become the strongest supreme mage."

"No, no, no, I'm. I'm just."

"You are only here to heal your hands, not to participate in any mysterious war and fight all kinds of other-dimensional creatures, but mage Strange, burying your head in the sand, cannot make the enemy retreat. The earth never Calm, all the while facing various intrusions.

There should be a network here, and you have also seen the Avengers fight against the alien invasion, and the Nine Worlds overlap in London. You become an official mystic today, and you will also start to participate in the operation of expelling and destroying creatures from other worlds.

There has never been a quiet time, just because someone is carrying a burden. "

Greer withdrew his hand from the high platform, and the golden room lost its mana supply, and quickly restored its original stone color. Through the high platform, he looked directly at Strange, who was at a loss, and said, "I will continue to serve as the director for a while. Sorcerer Supreme, until you are ready for the task."

"I..." Strange suddenly didn't know what to say with the ax in his hand. He really wanted to refuse. He was only here to heal his hands. Why did he suddenly talk about protecting the world?If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was indeed the current supreme mage, he would definitely think it was a joke or a liar.

"You don't need to answer now, you are not strong enough to take on this responsibility now. Mage Ancient One is a powerful multiverse, making many powerful alien creatures dare not invade the earth. In comparison, I am much worse."

Having said that, Strange felt even more pressured. He was only a 'junior high school student'. How could he become the hope of the whole village?

Before he came to Karma Taj, he just thought it might be a sanatorium opened by a mysterious old Chinese doctor, but it turned out to be a magic school. He wanted to use magic to heal his hands, but he learned how to learn, but found that magicians often have to "fight" and get injured. Death is nothing new.

He has learned a lot of magic, but none of them can heal his hand. Now he is told to become a supreme mage with greater responsibilities, which makes Strange a bit confused and difficult to accept. He just came to heal his hand, why? Just ask to be the savior?
Greer didn't say any more, and gave Strange some time to digest, until Strange seemed to come back to his senses, and said, "I never thought about it."

"Now you can start thinking about whether you want to become the supreme mage and protect the earth of billions of people," Greer said, waving his hand at the door on one side, opened the door leading to Karma Taj, and said, "No Tell someone about it, I've spoken to the librarian and you can browse through all the spellbooks.

If you have made up your mind and decided to take over as the supreme mage, call me, and I will give you the magic book that only the supreme mage can read.When your strength is stronger, you can take over as the supreme mage, which can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the ancient one mage. "

Strange nodded silently, walked towards the door, almost stepped out, but turned around and asked, "Why don't you continue to be the supreme mage?"

"You're the best fit, and you're going to do well."

"Why are you so sure?" Strange still had a half-sentence, 'Could it be just because of the Ancient One mage? ', these words were a bit disrespectful to the deceased, and they were not spoken.

"The world always needs someone to make selfless dedication to make more people's lives better. Since we have stronger power, we should take on more responsibilities. Of course, this is my personal idea."

Strange didn't ask any more questions, bid farewell to Greer respectfully, and then returned to Karma Taj.
