Sentinel

Chapter 187 Kama Taj
Kathmandu, an ancient city with a history of 1200 years, is located on the southern slope of the Himalayas. This natural barrier blocks the cold wind from the north and welcomes the warm current from the Indian Ocean to the south, making it sunny all year round and flowers blooming. Tourists call it "paradise in the mountains".

If you look down from above, the city is covered by row upon row of ancient temples and tall palaces. Exquisite stone carvings, minarets, and Buddha statues fill every corner. Traditional buildings with brick and stone structures can be seen everywhere, full of An antique and long-lasting atmosphere.

In the winding and narrow streets, there is often a strong smell of Indian fragrance. Children shaking prayer wheels, vendors selling fruits, thangkas and papyrus paintings, as well as cheap hotels and dilapidated restaurants with flashing lights can be seen everywhere.

This city is a hodgepodge of tradition and modernity. Many temples are mixed in simple slums, with a strange sense of dislocation, as if separated into two worlds. In the eyes of tourists, it is a religious holy place full of red-walled temples. ; but for the local residents living here, it is a chaotic city full of monkeys, beggars and car exhaust.

Of course, this is not the whole picture of the city. If you have enough wealth, you can enjoy God-like treatment even in a small backward and remote African country. Kathmandu has never lacked luxury hotels and high-end shops.

When Sean took off his sentinel armor and opened his eyes again, he had already come to Durbar Square from the busy city of New York. The noise of noise filled his ears, and tourists and monks in red robes passed by. Looking around, there are rolling ancient buildings, temples and palaces of different styles.

"Thought you were going to take me straight to Karma Taj."

Xiao En looked at the Ancient One mage standing under a Buddha statue, the strongest man who threw Mephisto into hell with a flip of his hands, wearing a wide white robe, with indifferent eyes, as if A traveler in the world, never haunted by foreign objects, this sense of transcendence makes people automatically ignore her gender and age.

Gu Yi shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Sooner or later you will step into Karma Taj, don't rush for a while."

"Mephisto has countless incarnations. Even if I destroy one of his carriers, it will not cause any loss. There will never be a shortage of fools blinded by desire in this world. They will willingly sacrifice their souls to the devil in order to obtain Momentary satisfaction." The Supreme Mage walked in front, "Before he left, Mephisto also took Matt Murdock away, that poor man who was angry but helpless."

After all, the mage glanced at Sean. Most of the reasons why that Daredevil fell into such a situation came from the young man next to him.

Sean shrugged innocently, and argued, "I'm just trying to fundamentally solve the crime problem in Hell's Kitchen. How can I imagine that a group of vigilantes will unfortunately lose their jobs."

Gu Yi ignored the superfluous sophistry of young people. She has long since ignored the pure morality of good and evil in the world, and her personal joys and sorrows are too insignificant to this world and even the multiverse, like a tiny speck of dust buried in the sand , is neither noticeable nor worth the effort.

"Don't underestimate Matt Murdoch, his anger and justice are the most powerful nourishment for the spirit of revenge." The mage eloquently told the origin of Ghost Rider, "6000 years ago, in order to supervise the sinful nature of human beings, heaven As well as spreading its own teachings, it created a spirit of vengeance known as a living weapon. According to scientific explanation, it was implanted with an intelligent machine that recognized sinful souls. Later, for some reason, the spirit of vengeance was abandoned.

"Since the previous supreme mage, Agamuda, established a complete magic system, developed the three holy temples, and built a fortified line of defense in the material world, both angels and demons have ushered in what they call the 'Era of Twilight'."

"Later, Mephisto went through several twists and turns, got the Spirit of Vengeance, transformed it, merged with the fire of hell, and walked in the material world with the help of a human body-he called this 'Ghost Rider', which was specially used to execute The mission, the professional thugs who collect evil souls, Carter Slay 150 years ago, and Johnny Blaze on the other side of the world, are all like this."

Following in the footsteps of Master Guyi, Xiao En came to the Degu Taleju Temple. The most special, or the most attractive part of this temple is that there are very fine carvings on the pillars of the temple. *****pattern.

The detached and refined Supreme Mage looked indifferent, but Sean turned his head away in embarrassment. The two walked to the back of the temple. A large relief sculpture with a hideous expression was inlaid in the corner of the building. It was shaped like a crown made of gems and skulls , white eyes and protruding canine teeth, several arms holding a sword, an axe, a shield and a skull, and a corpse on the soles of their feet, like an evil god in hell, lifelike and full of a sense of deterrence.

"The statue of Black Baraph is the most terrifying incarnation of Shiva. Many Nepalese believe that anyone who dares to stand in front of this statue will be punished by God." Master Gu Yi looked at the young man and said slowly: "Three Great Masters For thousands of years, the temple and Karma Taj have taken the expulsion of aliens as their bounden duty, and have regarded the protection of world order as their mission, and any creature outside the material world will be regarded as an enemy."

"But you allowed me to stay in this world." Sean took a slight step back and looked up at the greatest mage on earth.

"Maybe it's because I have seen the end of everything. Even though the image of the future is blurred and only some fragments can be glimpsed, but...it is too terrifying. The creatures in the entire universe are crying. I can't reverse it. In the coming ending, add a little variable."

There was compassion in Gu Yi's eyes, she stared at Sean, and said frankly: "You are a very dangerous guy, full of possessiveness for those beautiful things. I can see many annoying characteristics in you , ruthless, full of ambition, arrogant and rude... The only thing worthy of praise is that you can restrain another self, neither escape nor fear, choose to face up to and accept."

"Is that a compliment?"

The supreme mage smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "You can think so."

"Sometimes when I think about it, I find it unreasonable. I actually want an ambitious dictator who wants to conquer the world to stand up at a critical moment and save the world, and even the universe."

Gu Yi's eyes were clear, as if he had seen through all the disguises of the young man, reaching the depths of the other party's heart.

But this time, Xiao En did not try to hide or evade, he accepted the scrutiny of the supreme mage calmly, and said softly: "Maybe you are right, respected mage, if it is as you said, then the world will be destroyed." How can I let other people destroy it when I regard it as something in my pocket!"

"I hope so, Sean Sipers." Gu Yi sighed slightly, she had already vaguely sensed that her time was approaching.

The sound of crowds around gradually dissipated, and the space seemed to be still. The hanging ring in Gu Yi's hand flickered with light, and between the flickering sparks, a complicated magic circle took shape.

The supreme mage turned sideways and said, "Then, welcome to Karma Taj."
