American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

"Are there no other areas?" After Strange visited Ancient One's library, he looked at the Mage King eagerly, his eyes suggesting that the Mage King would take him to the next area he was looking forward to.

"Only the forbidden book area is left. But the forbidden book area is not open." The Mage King understood Strange's eyes, but shook his head firmly to reject him.He knew Strange's curious and no-holds-barred character all too well.When I first came to Karma Taj to learn magic, not long after I started, I dared to secretly browse the banned books in the library area.That is to say, he is gifted with magic, otherwise something would have happened a long time ago.

But the forbidden book area here is different from the forbidden book area in the past. There is so much forbidden knowledge recorded in the dark book.Compared with it, the Book of Cagliostro that Strange read before was considered mild.

"I advise you not to have other thoughts. There are more people in Karma Taj now, and there are more rules. The library has been equipped with monitoring and protective magic by the ancient master. The methods you used in the past, except for activating the alarm, Otherwise, it won't work." The Mage King added, worried that Strange would return to his old ways.

"You may have misunderstood me a little." Strange smiled awkwardly.

"There is no misunderstanding, Master Strange. I don't want to lead someone and throw you into the solitary room with the alarm sounding. It is not a good place." The Mage King said with a smile.

"Okay, let's talk about it! Since there is a restricted book area, there must be conditions for reading qualifications, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just make it non-existent? Don't tell me that you can't do this. You laid the groundwork After so long and so much, there should be conditions next, right? What should I do to get that qualification?" Strange liked the novel magic in Gu Yi's library very much, which made him interested in the last one. The interest in the Restricted Zone runs even deeper.After all, the best things come last!

If the other party really understands Strange's character, then if he really doesn't want him to come into contact with the restricted area, just keep it hidden, as he said.But since he was informed and then dropped at a critical moment, it was obvious that the other party had some plans for this step and could only continue until he won.

"Sensitive as always." The Mage King was not surprised by Strange's sensitivity. This was originally intended to be noticed and discovered by the other party.

"Let's take a look at the conditions." The Mage King reached out and opened a portal in the air. With a cautious look on his face, he carefully took out a parchment contract from it.He almost felt it was hot, took it out and threw it to Strange beside him.

Strange felt the ominous power contained in the parchment that made him feel frightened, and looked at the Mage King with suspicious eyes.As the former supreme mage, he was thinking about whether he had offended the mage king in front of him. Otherwise, how could he come up with such a contract for him to sign?The power lingering on it made him not want to take over this parchment scroll.The moment he took it, he even felt that the parchment was a living thing!It has a will of its own!own thoughts!

"Don't look at me. This is an energy bank-style abyss contract constraint. It is usually used against the dimensional demon." The Mage King saw Strange's suspicious eyes and took the initiative to shirk the blame: "Can you give this kind of contract?" Yes, only the shareholders of the Energy Bank and a few qualified applicants. This is the explanation given by the Supreme Mage, and I am only responsible for handing it over to you."

"Stephen?" Strange thought of himself in this universe. "Obviously." The Mage King decisively chose to sell out.

"If I sign it, what will be the consequences if I violate it? I didn't see any relevant terms on it." Strange resisted the throbbing in his heart and opened the parchment contract, and the contents on it automatically flowed into information. understood by him.With his IQ and knowledge, it is not difficult to understand whether there are any traps in the above content. He can also see that he in this universe is not playing any word games on it. What he cannot determine now is the consequences of violating the contract.

Generally, contracts will include clauses such as liquidated damages, but there are no relevant tips and information here.But holding the contract in his hand, feeling the deadly malice that was as obvious as a lightbulb on the contract, for the sake of his own life and safety, he had to ask carefully and carefully.

"This kind of contract generally does not have a breach of contract clause, because it only has one breach of contract clause, which is to establish a connection with the abyss and be noticed and locked by it." The Mage King explained. "But please don't worry. Under normal circumstances, as long as you do what the contract requires, the power on it will not explode."

"What is the abyss?" When Strange mentioned this word that he didn't feel strange when speaking it in the past, he suddenly felt a cold feeling like a ray of light on his back.

"It's best that you don't know what it is. What I can tell you is that the binding force of this contract will be effective for the dimensional demons. At least they don't want to see any power related to the abyss appear in their own dimension. You can Think more and then decide whether to sign this contract." The Mage King did not give a corresponding answer this time, and replied in an evasive manner, hinting at the power attached to this contract.

"Okay, I will consider it carefully when I sign it." Strange focused on the parchment in his hand. He became a little interested in the contract in his hand: "This should not be a card." Ma Taiji’s creation, right? Is it related to the energy bank you mentioned?”

"To be precise, it has something to do with President Mephisto of the Energy Bank. This is his proud product." The Mage King answered as he led Strange outside.

"Mephisto?" Strange's mouth twitched. This familiar name gave him a bad feeling.

"It's the one you're thinking of, the great lord of the hell dimension, Mephisto." The Mage King confirmed Strange's guess.Mephisto spent all his money to create the [Original Contract], and it is almost impossible to exploit its loopholes.Not to mention that Mephisto is always applying various patches to it.Thanks to various patches and fillings by Mephisto and other shareholder banks, the identity of the original contract has far exceeded its original setting, becoming a rule-bearing entity similar to the Infinity Stones and the Heart of the Universe. Embodied things.

The piece in Strange's hand is like a shadow of the original contract.All contracts signed will appear on the original contract.The stronger the signer is and the more special his attributes are, the more feedback the original contract will receive. (End of chapter)
