"We must report this situation." Agent Coulson reached for the earpiece. "Director Fury asked us to find him, but he didn't say he wanted us to find a ghost. Sir, we..."

"Wait, Agent Coulson." Natasha Romanoff moved the flashlight, and the light spot started from the footprints left by Salomon and extended towards the entrance of the cave.Surprisingly, the ground that originally had only a line of inward shoe prints slowly revealed a line of outward walking shoe prints. These were the prints of Kama Taj's unique short-heeled boots.Agent Coulson noticed this after being reminded by Natasha Romanoff. Along with the shoe prints, there was a slight rubbing sound, as if someone was rubbing the soles of his leather shoes on the granite wall here.His eyes widened in surprise, and he moved the flashlight around like Natasha Romanoff, and carefully reached over the shoe prints, but he touched nothing.

"I have seen him. In fact, I have been tracking him for a while." He took a breath, "But he is a living person, maybe a person with special abilities, but definitely not a ghost. If so... maybe we need a Priest."

"If you only attend Mass on Christmas and Easter, you're considered a relatively devout Catholic [Note 1]." Agent Romanoff said, "I like your sense of humor, Agent Coulson. Contact Operations Team, we need to let them search along the footprints. I have a hunch that this line of footprints is our clue.

"I think we can let scientists on the Quinjet come to the cave to investigate, and maybe we can know the cause of these phenomena." Agent Coulson said.

Natasha glanced at Agent Coulson, and now she was sure that Coulson did not know Salomon's identity.In fact, Natasha herself had some doubts about "magic", but since Director Fury believed it, she would not question it.But the good mood of harvesting clues often cannot last long. Coulson pressed the earpiece repeatedly, but there was no response from the action team members who were supposed to speak. He tried to contact other people, but the result was the same.Agent Coulson quickly informed Natasha Romanoff of this situation. He believed that this was not electromagnetic interference or poor signal, because he had never heard any noise. The only possible scenario was that they had all been killed. In the sticky darkness outside the cave, there is an enemy they did not expect.

When Agent Coulson and Natasha Romanoff cautiously walked out of the cave, they found that the Quinjet parked near the cave had disappeared, but they did not hear the sound of any aircraft engine starting. If the Quinjet flew They could definitely hear the loud noise from here.In addition, there were no bullet casings, no traces of exchange of fire, the radio was completely silent, and the action team members and their transportation vehicles completely disappeared.

In addition, there is a large forest that suddenly appears. "They are missing." Natasha Romanoff used her flashlight to shine on the place where the Quinjet originally stayed.She disarmed herself and holstered the pistol on her thigh as she came to an even worse conclusion.

"Or maybe...we are missing."

Salomon naturally didn't know what was going on in the cave, nor did he know that Nick Fury was banging the table and cursing because he had lost two of his best agents at once.In fact, he had been on edge ever since he walked into that strange forest.It's not that he didn't try to use the hanging ring to open the portal and leave here, but every time he cast a spell, no matter how he chanted the spell and made gestures, the portal could not be opened, and only a small group of spinning and flying sparks laughed at him.He didn't realize that a spell similar to [Dimensional Anchor] had been cast here, but it was a fact that the portal could not be opened. He could only hold the magic missile wand in his hand tightly, and put another fireball wand in his sleeve, ready to attack anyone. A good look at the guy who attacked him.

As the sky darkens, the light shining on the tops of the deep woods gradually fades, and the remaining warmth of the setting sun is quickly swallowed up by the shadows extending from the ridge behind them.Salomon was no longer stingy with spells at this time. He took out the scroll and cast spells so that he could see something clearly in the darkness like thick fog.It was very quiet in the forest, with only the sound of broken leaves underfoot.Since the Agamotto crystal ball did not indicate the direction of the alien magic power, Salomon also had no target. He could only walk roughly in the direction of the town in the hope of meeting someone.Even though he could see something clearly, the forest was too quiet and eerie, and he desperately wanted to encounter something, whether it was a human or a monster, because he felt an unsettling familiarity with the environment here. feel.

He understood why he felt familiar here, not because of the environment, but because of the atmosphere.That pervasive sense of fear pervaded every corner of the forest, as if there were creepy monsters lurking in the darkness behind every bush.This sense of familiarity comes from the memory of the old ruler, the warlock, who originated from the stigmata, which he has never wanted to touch.

Salomon once tried to pry into that memory out of curiosity, but he forgot a lot of things - he knew what he wanted to pry into, and the memory was enough for him to be immersed in the scene. If it weren't for the second-level spell [Mechanization If Mind] takes effect, he may remember more.But subconsciously, the ensuing madness that penetrated his bones kept lingering in his mind for a while, and it took him a long time to get rid of that feeling.But he still remembered the name of the sect leader. It was a name that could not be said using human physiological structure. He was...

Salomon immediately stopped thinking and reminiscing, forcing himself to focus on the fruit yogurt parfait and grilled lamb chops in his mind.It was difficult, as difficult as "stop thinking about pink elephants," but years of meditation practice helped, and Salomon quickly entered a state of concentration (thinking only about fruit yoghurt). pancakes and grilled lamb chops) and clear all the images from your mind.

Subtle whispers sounded in the forest again. This time, these sounds had direction and distance. Salomon stopped and closed his eyes.He concentrated, trying to identify the source of the sound.These were the songs of several little girls, tender and crisp. Their voices were intertwined, making it difficult for Salomon to distinguish what they were saying.He slowly walked over following the sound, and gradually, the originally fuzzy and subtle sound became clearer.

The ash branch is the wand of magic.

Knock three times on the earth, three times on the invisible door, and the Holy Spirit will appear and deliver the revelation.

The Holy Spirit whispers to us the opportunities for our true desires to come true.

On the other side of the door is the future we desire.

Salomon slowed his pace, trying not to draw attention to himself.Everything he encountered after coming out of the cave pointed to one problem, that is, the space and time he was in now were not normal. Both the setting sun and the warm wind were telling him this fact, and the portal could not be opened. That's why.

If we look at it from a higher dimension, everything in this universe is an established fact, everything has already happened, and these realities are like a thin film covering the three-dimensional world, forming a world. Destiny.Since three-dimensional creatures cannot understand the existence of higher dimensions, a simple and clear example can be given.

Take out a stack of white papers and stack them together, and then assume that humans are two-dimensional creatures, and the white paper is a flat space. Two-dimensional humans live on a piece of white paper, and all papers have a cube drawn on it. Cross-sections, the patterns on these stacked papers together form a cube, but to a two-dimensional human being, this is just one two-dimensional cross-section after another.As time passes, that is, jumping from a piece of paper below to a piece of paper above, these cross-sections will change accordingly through time and space - but in fact this cube is fixed, and its length, width and height have not changed. What changes is only the cross-section observed by two-dimensional humans, and these cross-sections are the reality that people observe.

The function of the portal spell is to fold the paper and allow two-dimensional humans to travel from one end of the cross-section to the other.Unless Salomon relocates his position in time and space and finds the piece of paper he is currently on, he will not know which piece of paper to fold, and the portal cannot be opened.

There are several ways to reposition yourself in space and time.

The simplest way is to ask someone who lives here. He does not need to know what day it is, he only needs to know the approximate year.The greater the time error, it is equivalent to folding more paper at one time, and the corresponding spell casting will be more difficult. However, although the single-digit year error is a bit difficult for Salomon, it is not a big problem.

Another way is to find a place to meditate, call Weishan Emperor, and ask Weishan Emperor for the time.As an extradimensional creature, that is, an existence living on another stack of paper, Veshandi can tell Salomon which paper he is currently on from a third-person perspective, which is to tell Salomon the precise time - -But the question is, is this time calculated from the birth of Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess, rather than Jesus.

In fact, the time used by many Kama Taj's mystics is the Gregorian calendar, because probably few people will encounter abnormal time. In order to reduce the calculation amount when casting spells, Salomon did not bother to ask the dimension. Shan Di, this is retribution for being lazy before.If Salomon had not met the locals, he would have done this, although it would be quite troublesome to explain it to Emperor Weishan at that time, and who knows whether Emperor Weishan would forcefully obtain these three pieces. The magic ring burned him again.

The last option is to leave here and head to New York on foot.Unless Salomon is now in the time of King Arthur, there must be a Kama Taj temple in New York. Then he can meet the Supreme Mage, explain the reason to her, and find a way to return.But there are doubts about this method, because Salomon doesn't know whether this is a time anomaly located in a small area, or whether he really traveled from the cave to other times - if it is the former, then it will be like a two-dimensional cross-section With a few layers of cross-sections from other papers on top, he might not be able to get out of this boundary so easily; if it was the latter, he might try to get to New York.

Salomon decided to start with the simplest method.
