Marvel Magic Event Book

"Isn't this too vicious?" The Venerable asked with a frown.

This is definitely not because the Gothic font is difficult to read, nor is it because the incense lit in the meditation room with insufficient light makes it difficult to open your eyes. It is simply because the plan given by Salomon is really complicated and vicious.

"I don't want to end up with a cynical candidate for the Sorcerer Supreme. What if Strange thinks he wants to go back for revenge after learning magic? Or maybe he turns into some kind of superhero and ignores the threats from extra dimensions all day long. Running to the streets to do chivalry and justice. Either way is not the candidate I want, but the puppet that the Holy Trinity Weishan Emperor wants."

"If virtue does not match the position, there will be disaster. If virtue is weak but the position is high, if wisdom is small but the plan is big, if strength is small but the responsibility is heavy, it is rare to be inferior." Salomon took the plan that the venerable had read hastily.After Natasha Romanoff left, he added an appendix that detailed three hundred ways to cause irreparable damage to the mission target without endangering life.Among them, there are one hundred and five kinds of magic curses, all of which are black magic that Salomon can cast.

Salomon said, "If Stephen Strange does not realize that all problems stem from his own wisdom, then it means that such a person is not capable of becoming the Supreme Mage. It happens that I know a pretty good guy, although his personality is different from that of Strange. Strange is not much different, but I quite admire the detective who lives in London. If Stephen Strange can't be successful, then we might as well change the target. I think Vesanti will not mind this kind of thing, After all, the two of them look similar and have the same annoying personalities."

"It seems that your sense of humor will never disappear no matter what." The Venerable looked at the disciple sitting opposite from the corner of his eyes.

As an observer of Kama Taj, Modu obtained an accurate battle damage report. His Holiness knew that this mission was originally supposed to be a mission for all Kama Taj. After being handed over to the Immortal City, those mortals relied on weapons and equipment and extraordinary What results did his courage bring?His Holiness also knew what a heavy price the Eternal City paid this time. Even the artificial humans created by Salomon were sacrificed, and many mortals were sacrificed.According to Modu, the funeral in the Eternal City lasted for a whole week, which did not include the soldiers who were executed because their minds were found to be corrupted during the post-war investigation.

His Holiness knew that Salomon must have written down every name, but Salomon refused to show his grief because he believed that those soldiers were facing the enemy of mankind because of his orders.Although this is a necessary sacrifice, it does not mean that he can forgive himself, nor does it mean that he will not continue to issue such orders in the future.Even if he encounters a war situation in the future that may require the sacrifice of all the sisters, but the sacrifice can bring more lives, he will not hesitate too much, even if it is his own life. This is the principle of conduct taught by the Supreme Mage to Salomon. .

However, His Holiness did not want Salomon to remain in his current state.To be precise, His Holiness did not want Salomon’s emotions to change so quickly that he would be insensitive to sacrifices in the future. Even if this was a destined future, His Holiness needed a Salomon with feelings now.The witch is the only person who can relieve Salomon's depressed emotions. The Supreme Mage needs the witch to guide Salomon.

"You shouldn't have any more work to do in the Eternal City, right?"

“Then came the development phase and Stephanie was able to organize everything.”

"Then you can have a holiday after finishing the curse on Stephen Strange. I trust your magical skills."

Salomon raised his eyebrows in surprise.He rarely has the concept of vacation. As a mystic, his job is to be on call 360 hours a day, 24 days a year, five days a year, to solve problems at any time. After all, extradimensional creatures do not follow the earth's time.He only encountered such a thing as a holiday when he was a minor, and he never had a relaxing day at all as an adult.

"Bayonetta said you wanted to live a pastoral life for a few days." The Venerable said, "I thought about it and found that you really need a vacation. Otherwise, you will stay in the sanctuary after finishing your work in the Eternal City. It’s inevitable that the witch will be left out in the cold, so I decided to make it easier for you.”

"Won't this make the Mystic Family think too much?" Salomon asked, "You did not hide Strange's recruitment from them. Although the Mystic Family is unable to resist, they are capable of making small moves. There are too many tricks to do bad things, and the civil servants in Whitehall are all gentlemen compared to those old guys."

"Don't worry, I will leave you a clean Kama Taj." His Holiness said with a smile.Unlike the murderous intent in his words, there was no smell of blood in the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth.The Lord has issued orders to the entire magical world before. Every spellcaster who knows a little bit about prophetic magic knows that a harsh era is coming. The black tide of the Sea of ​​Souls is surging, and even Kama Taj has to take it seriously. response.Except for dark wizards and spellcasters who live in deep mountains and old forests and cannot rush to the designated place in time to register, most of the undisciplined wizards have registered, but there are also some idiots who challenge the authority of Kama Taj.

Karma Taj hasn't done much for the time being, but anyone familiar with the Supreme Mage's ways knows that there must be a purge next.Therefore, the magic black market in the New York sewers began to increase the volume of transactions. Every dark wizard tried to complete supplies before the cold winter arrived, and then completely hide to avoid the blizzard caused by the wrath of the Supreme Mage - the scope of this blizzard. Even Kama Taj is included.His Holiness is cruel to others, and he is also cruel to his own people. From now on, Kamal Taj's behavior and education methods will change greatly.Salomon saw clearly that this was preparation for the next era, and any opposition must be buried six feet below.Salomon was certain that he would be involved in this process, consolidating his position in Kamal Taj and taking over the powers and responsibilities that His Holiness had given him after his separation title.

His Holiness showed Salomon the crown, the crown he was destined to wear.

It was the personal collection of His Holiness. It was not kept in the sanctuary or the Himalayan headquarters, but was held by Athena.The Lord also cast a spell to obscure his own future, and also forbade Salomon from predicting the manner of her death.Whenever Salomon mentioned how His Holiness planned to retire, His Holiness was always vague, as if there was something in it that Salomon could not accept.

"I have asked Modu to pass on the message. Those arcane families who cannot accept or understand the hint will only become trouble in the future." The Venerable stood up slowly.The Venerable's height is already considered tall among mortals, and his profound cultivation of secret arts makes the Venerable look ordinary, rather than being able to fill up all the sense of existence like Salomon.

This is the cultivation that Kama Tajbo has gained from hundreds of masters, and it is the so-called mysterious realm of being in harmony with light and dust.

Being in harmony with its light and being in harmony with its dust is called Xuantong.Xuantong is the realm of the unity of mystery and wonder.If you want to reach this state, you must "frustrate" and "resolve disputes" during the cultivation process.Frustration means learning from experience but not blindly following it; resolving disputes means taking away the yin and embracing the yang, comprehensively examining the problem, using the pretense of cultivation to hone one's temperament, practice virtue intensively, replenish the alchemy base, enhance the Taoism, and finally achieve the state of mind and spirit of living in seclusion in the world. Realm, just like "a sergeant obtains the Tao from the three armies", is not limited to being born in the world.Whether it is called magic or Taoism, its most fundamental core idea is the same. The most powerful cultivation is the ordinary appearance of the Venerable.This is the top cultivation level of Taoism, and it is a cultivation that Salomon cannot currently achieve. He is still in the stage of showing off his talents.

"But I think they will obey the order, because some of the old guys still remember my methods as the Sorcerer Supreme."
