[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Gem Merchant

Life in Karma Taj is fast or slow.

Strange is a doctor, and occasionally helps people here to treat some bruises when he is free, but surgery is very dependent on instruments, and it is far less convenient and quicker than magic and potions in this kind of place.

Most of the time, he has no free time.

"Well, next you should read "Potion Science". The geographical environment here is very different from that of the clock tower, and the medicinal materials used on both sides are also different. You should read the books in the library here first, and wait for me to return New York will find you the textbooks on the clock tower."

Alphonse and Strange shuttled back and forth in the library, brushing out two fully written applications for borrowing books.

Lao Wang, who came over temporarily to help look at the library, raised his eyes and found a strange face behind Alphonse: "Newcomer?"

"Stephen Vincent Strange."

Strange introduced himself, "What about you?"

"king."

Seeing that the other party was still staring at him, he added: "It's just... Wang."

Magicians have their own secrets. Some have a longer and longer name like Alphonse, and some wish to leave everything behind.Strange didn't get to the bottom of it, but just pulled out a few more books: "I still want to borrow these."

The part-time librarian frowned: "Have you finished reading all the previous books? "Great Origin", "Potion Science", "Basics of Alchemy", "Spirits"...Al, you just let him Looking around aimlessly?"

"He's seen it all, and I guess he's learned it too."

Alphonse shrugged: "This guy's academic qualifications in the 'outside' are not low, and his learning ability is outstanding."

Wang nodded indifferently, as long as it was a book within the scope of permission, it didn't matter to him what others borrowed, but when he pushed out the list of borrowed books, a voice of disapproval sounded from behind them.

"Stephen, you're way ahead of schedule."

Karl Modo stood behind Alphonse and Strange with one hand on the wall, staring at the thick stack of books: "To seize such a large amount of money when the mental and physical training is not up to standard Power is a dangerous thing!"

"I did read all the previous books seriously."

Stephen Strange replied honestly: "Perhaps I am still quite unskilled in practice, but at least in terms of theoretical knowledge, if there is an exam to prove that I have indeed mastered them, I can guarantee that I will definitely be able to master them." Full marks."

"I prove it."

Alphonse raised his hand: "This guy seems to be born for this kind of magic. It took him two days to surpass me in Visandi's lineage, but I remember when I first learned how to open the mirror space. The portal has been taught by you for two months."

The doctor is indeed a doctor. If Banner or Stark can have a magic circuit, they might be able to crush a large group of magicians.I have to say that Mage Ancient One has a really good vision. From the current point of view, Strange's understanding is extremely high, and his own magic adaptability is also good. That is to say, he is inherently better than other magicians. Abundant magic power was drawn from the source, and his magic circuit was just able to carry this power, and everything fit together like gears meshing together.

"The ancient one did not confiscate such a talented student before. Casillas was exactly the same as he is now, and his learning progress is terrifying. Now he has completely turned to the dark dimension. Now we have not yet catch him!"

Modu was very angry: "This is against the rules, I can't let another Casillas appear here again!"

"So you want to kill all talented people just because Karma Taj gave birth to a bad embryo."

Alphonse couldn't accept such a statement, and more importantly, he knew that this was the next successor appointed by the Supreme Venerable: "The source gives you power, and how to use this power depends on the user. He has obviously learned these things. Knowledge, if you asked him to squat with others in the courtyard, wouldn't it be the same as honing the other party's talent?"

"Do you think those experiences are grinding?"

Modu's eyes widened. Even though the other party was the guest of the supreme venerable, he couldn't continue to remain indifferent: "The magic of our system is different from those of you guys from the clock tower! It's really fun to grab power, but If you are not careful, you will fall into the darkness! His cultivation is obviously insufficient. This guy has only been here for a few days, and he has read so many books. Such a large-scale intake of knowledge will only immerse him in the vortex of power among!"

After a disagreement, Mordo suddenly pulled out his life court staff, Alphonse's reaction was not too much, he took a step forward, stretched out his hand to stop Stephen Strange behind him, and said in a low voice: "Modu , he is a born magician."

"Yesterday he said he was a doctor."

Modu didn't attack. After all, this is a library, and it's against the rules to make noise in this kind of place.He gave Alphonse and Stephen a menacing look, turned around and left without saying a word, leaving the two of them plus Wang looking at each other in blank dismay.

Stephen Strange's lips moved. Before he could speak, Wang, who was in charge of the library, raised his hands vigilantly: "Don't ask me why he is angry. This kind of question is harder than Goldbach's conjecture."

Alphonse patted him on the shoulder reassuringly: "Modu is probably a little anxious. There was a student in the same situation as you who fell into the dark dimension before, and now he is a black wizard who is causing trouble. That guy is now Kama Taj caused a lot of trouble, and the space rift he created almost implicated the ordinary human world before, he must be worried that you will become like this one day."

Stephen nodded: "Then I go out to squat and meditate?"

Alphonse asked rhetorically, "Do you think this will work for you?"

Stephen recalled the content of these Karma Taj's daily classes in a daze: "Meditation is very useful, running circles and horse steps are just..."

Isn't that really the way to train recruits in the army?

"Then meditate and spend the rest of your time learning as much as you can."

Alphonse made a decisive decision: "I can't help you much with the magic of your faction. If you have any questions that you don't understand, you can directly bypass us and ask Gu Yi."

"Then how..."

"There is nothing wrong with it. Master Gu Yi has always accepted students and never refused anyone's study, let alone you are already his disciple."

Alphonse rubbed his chin: "...It's just that her teaching method is a bit radical, so everyone usually asks more skilled disciples to teach the basic content."

Stephen was immediately alert: "...radical?"

Alphonse thought for a while, and changed the description: "...Or, very efficient?"

Strange experienced this efficiency that day.

At an altitude of [-] meters, above the clouds.

The air at this altitude is unbearably cold. The Ancient One and Alphonse are surrounded by magical protection, and only Strange is exposed to the cold air without protection. The lack of oxygen forces him to He took a big gulp of air, but the oxygen level still made him feel extremely suffocated.

What's worse is that both Gu Yi and Alphonse have the means to hover in the air, the former is floating in the air, the latter is down-to-earth stepping on the magic ladder invisible to the naked eye, and Strange is wearing a suit with air leaking from all sides. The coarse cloth clothes were held by the back collar of Master Gu Yi, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

"This is at an altitude of [-] meters."

Master Gu Yi announced: "Even if the bottom is the sea surface, under such an acceleration of gravity, if you fall on the water surface, you will die on the spot as if you hit the concrete."

Strange: "Alphonse, is this what you mean by high efficiency?!"

He is not well now, this is a terrible training method!

Is it too late to start re-choosing the learning method? !

Alphonse looked at him with pity, this is probably the temper that the future supreme mage must bear, it is much more exciting than Modu's squatting.

Gu Yi said slowly: "You have already memorized the theoretical knowledge of opening the portal, and you have tried it a few times in practice, so I think it's time for you to really challenge yourself."

The high-altitude cold wind broke Strange's voice into the wind: "I don't want to challenge at all! I will definitely die if I fall like this! Now I feel that meditation and squatting are very good, and I really want to go back Ahhh-"

The following sounds became farther and farther away as the tone of the Doppler effect changed. The ancient master kept raising his arms and throwing things, clapped his hands meaninglessly, and turned to look at Alphonse: "Let's go back now Wait, then?"

Al: "..."

No matter how many times I watch such a big scene, I will be dumbfounded: "Where did you learn this teaching method?"

Master Gu Yi smiled lightly: "Of course it's from your master."

So, Alphonse: "..."

But the death rate of Zellich's disciples is very high.

The cold wind cut across his cheeks like a sharp knife.The rapid change in altitude caused severe pain to the eardrums, everything in the field of vision was swept back quickly, and the earth was getting closer and closer.

Stephen Strange was blinded by the wind, stretched out his hand in the air, barely activated his magic power, and tried to draw out the portal.

If you don't succeed, you will die, if you are slow, you will die.As a doctor, he has rescued patients from the gate of hell countless times at the line of life and death, but never once... no, it was the second time, so close to death.

Alphonse said that the power of Dayuan is like the sea, and what we have to do is to draw as much power as possible from the sea of ​​magic for our own use.Its own magic power (Od) and Dayuan's magic power (Mana) are connected together through a magic circuit, just like digging a channel on the beach, diverting the vast sea into tiny streams to bridge with its own power.

And one's own power is like a match, if used properly, it is enough to burn the entire mountain forest.

Strange closed his eyes, and an unknown switch was suddenly turned on in his mind.

[Sharp rubble runs through palm]

It was not enough to pick up a handful from the sea, and it was not enough to dig out a small channel. Stephen Strange suddenly opened his eyes during the fall, and the magic power was like a river breaking its embankment, accompanied by a silent sound that cannot be heard by human ears. The roar came rushing.

He had to keep breathing in the torrent of magic power that could almost devour the soul, go upstream and open up a clear path.

With trembling fingers, the surgeon drew a sparkling circle in the air.

Then, he fell heavily and fell into the courtyard where Karl Modu was supervising the cultivation of his disciples.

The free fall made him hit the ground with a "boom", and the magicians who were originally neatly arranged swarmed up in surprise, and surrounded Stephen Strange tightly and airtight amidst Modu's frantic voice of maintaining order. .Karl Modu looked away from the crowd, and immediately scolded, "It's you again!"

Strange dazedly wiped his forehead, oh my god, he broke out in a cold sweat from fright, the education methods of the supreme venerable are indeed difficult for normal people to accept, fortunately he was quick to respond and strengthened his own with magic power in advance Body, otherwise, who knows if an ordinary person would be shattered and fractured if they were hit like this.

As if he still had the illusion that he hadn't recovered from the illusion, he slowly raised his head, and saw Modu hugging his arms with a cold face, with an expression of "I'll wait for you to give me an explanation".

Stephen said slowly: "You may not believe it, I really didn't intentionally disturb your practice, I was almost murdered on the spot by the ancient one just now..."

Modu squinted his eyes and was about to give this ignorant guy a stick, but a familiar voice came from behind him. He turned around with a stunned expression, and saw Alphonse and the ancient mage walking side by side all the way. Talking about something in a low voice.

"You threw him down like that, and even I was taken aback."

Alphonse didn't have the slightest "shocked" expression on his face: "What if I really fell to my death."

"Didn't you already step down the buffer technique under the cliff?"

There was a smile in Gu Yi's eyes.

"...If I make a mistake, I will die!"

Alphonse felt powerless.

"If that's the case, I'll let you take over from him."

In front of everyone, Mage Gu Yi didn't say anything about his upcoming resignation, but just made a joke to Alphonse, and saw that the other party's face changed as expected, and he refused again and again.The crowd spontaneously parted with a gap, and Alphonse and the ancient mage walked side by side in front of Strange, bent down and grabbed a certain surgeon who had not recovered from the fall.

Gu Yi was quite satisfied: You see, isn't this how you learned it?

If a child can't swim, just throw it into the deep water area, and it is guaranteed to learn on the spot.Alphonse complained silently in his heart. In the same comparison, this is not the level of throwing people into the deep water area, but throwing people directly into the exhibition pool full of sharks in the aquarium.

Modu reacted, his face full of disbelief: "Just now...you were teaching him?"

Master Gu Yi did not deny it: "He learns very quickly and needs to use some special methods."

Modu gritted his teeth: "Don't you remember the consequences of Casillas?"

Gu Yi was calm and composed, his calm eyes swept across Karl Modu's excited face, like a deep pool of silence that could not turn the waves: "Everything has a cause and effect, I will never refuse the established future to come to me. "

She turned to look at Strange: "Continue to study at your own pace. If there are any books that you can't find, ask Alphonse or Wang to find them for you."

Although Strange was a little puzzled, he still nodded: "Okay."

Everyone dispersed, and among the crowd, Karl Modu stared at Stephen Strange's back, with a particularly sinister and stern expression.

late at night.

It is still tutoring time, but now Strange's strength has been recognized by most people, he no longer needs to cobble together with Alphonse to borrow books to read by himself, but has the ability to read as much as he wants How many rights.

In terms of theoretical knowledge, his speed of progress even allowed him to read the manuscripts left by Master Ancient One himself.

"Man, I've never seen anyone learn so quickly."

Wang sighed lamentably: "It's as if your time and other people's time are not at the same flow rate."

"I'm just in a hurry."

Stephen replied indifferently, and reached out to take away the magician book that was sealed by a spell on the bookshelf.He is indeed extremely eager to absorb knowledge to make up for the defects caused by his "halfway monkhood" as a magician, but he is not eager to transform this knowledge into strength. content is close.

He was in contact with the majestic source of magic power in an instant, and the moment he fell from the sky made him confused and trembling, so in theory, it is the best way to figure it out first.It is very dangerous to use an unfamiliar weapon in his hand, and the magic power is the same. He must race against time to understand the instruction manual of this wonderful weapon.

At the same time, in the dark room, Karl Modu curled up in pain.

He doesn't want to admit his jealousy, but the direction of his research is more in the field of soul magic, and the slightest fluctuation will be completely reflected in his magic map, which will affect the demons in his heart, and if he is not careful, it will cause backlash .

Now, the first crack has formed on the ice surface that is "like walking on thin ice" where no one is aware of it.

The author has something to say: About Modu: There is actually a big gap between the image of Modu and the manga in the comics (after all, Guyi is still a man in the comics), so I combined the characteristics of both sides of the comics and movies, and regarded them as It’s the parallel world’s Goryu Modu_(:з」∠)_

Mordo in the comics is indeed jealous of Strange.

Tin Can will appear in the next chapter!Friends who climb the wall, wait and see first.
