Marvel's Last Angel

Chapter 112 Ancient One's Request

All learning has to start with theory, especially an unknown field.

Stephen Strange came to Gu Yi's library with the books he had finished reading.

"Hey!"

Stephen looked at Xi sitting on the chair behind the table in surprise.

"Oh, Mr. Strange." Xi raised her head when she heard the voice from behind the book.

"Uh, just call me Stephen." Stephen reminded.

Xi nodded, "Then you have finished reading the borrowed book?"

"Of course..." Stephen put the book on the table, "Well... I've known you for so long, I still don't know your name!"

"Pity."

"Pity?" Stephen froze for a moment, "Is it just pity? Like Adele, or Aristotle, Derek... Bono, Eminem..."

Stephen's voice gradually softened under Xi's gaze, and he was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Xi.

"It's just "pity"." Xi gave Stephen a look, and in the other's surprised eyes, pulled the book in front of her with strength. ""The Book of the Dead", "The New Universe", "The Supreme Code", "The Key of Solomon."

It is a pity to count the books that Stephen has read.

"Yes!"

Xi nodded, "Then come with me...", Said that she jumped off the chair, opened a door, and walked in.Stephen consciously followed behind.

"You are amazing." Stephen praised in a low voice, he saw other people in this library.

"What?" Xi turned around in bewilderment.

"You turned out to be Karma Taj's librarian, and librarians are generally very powerful."

"No, I'm not an administrator." Xi shook her head and denied. "This area is only open to mages, but if I agree, you can come and see it."

Stephen opened his mouth to ask again, but was attracted by Xi's voice and the collection of books in front of him.

"You can start from the "General Introduction". How is your Sanskrit level?" Xi stood on tiptoe and picked up the next book.

"I'm pretty good at using Google Translate." Stephen looked at the neatly arranged books in front of him, unable to move his eyes.

"Written in Vedic language, the oldest Sanskrit script."

"Well, thank you." Stephen took the book that Xi handed over with one hand, and thanked him.He suddenly noticed the book Xi was holding in his arms, which was different from the others. "What's your book?"

"This one!" Xi lowered her head and embraced the book with both hands, "This one is Gu Yi's private collection, now, so are those."

Stephen turned his head to look at Xi's gesture, "So you can't borrow it?"

"No, in Karma Taj, knowledge can be shared. And some people are not allowed to perform certain practical operations. That type of book is beyond the reach of ordinary people, especially for newcomers like you. Only the Supreme One can Understand the essence." Xi said, his expression became very serious in the end.

"Okay..." Stephen was taken aback for a moment, but his immature face didn't have a serious expression at all, that kind of warning expression looked vicious. "Can I take a look?"

"Yes." Xi handed over the book in her hand, which she was flipping through and hadn't finished it yet.

Stephen quickly flipped through a few pages, without looking at them carefully, and suddenly flicked his hands, "This book is missing a page." He said in surprise.

"That's "The Book of Cagliostro", which is about the study of time, and a few pages of it were stolen by the original mage." Xi explained, this is not something secret.

"Oh?" Stephen looked down at Xi in surprise, "Who is he?"

"He's a fanatic, Iker Casillas." At this moment, a deep voice sounded from behind Stephen Strange, his hands trembled in shock, and he almost threw the book out. people.

"You are?" Stephen asked in surprise, judging by his size, he was the person he saw when he just entered the back room.

"He's Wang, the current librarian." Xi greeted Wang. During this period of time in the library, the two often met.

"Wang? It's just a king again!" Stephen looked between Wang and Xi.

Xi glared at Stephen, this guy must be thinking in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have this expression.

"Casillas, he hung the former librarian with a rope and separated him. I am the guardian of these books now, so as long as there are any missing pages or skins in these books, I will know. I will let you be decapitated and separated before you go out." Wang stared at Stephen Strange with a serious face.Wang's face was plump, and his appearance was more ferocious, and when he was serious, he was much more terrifying than Xie.

After Wang finished speaking, he took the "Book of Cagliostro" that Stephen had finished flipping through, and handed it to Xi's hand.

"But, how can she just look at it casually?" Stephen looked at Xi who was beckoning to him in astonishment, and asked in puzzlement.

"This is Karma Taj's most honored guest. The supreme mage said that she enjoys the same rights and interests as her. You can browse the books here." Wang Zhi got up and explained as a matter of course.As a serious person, he has always held a respectful attitude towards Xi.

"Guest? I always thought you were also a student of Master Gu Yi." Stephen looked at Xi in surprise. This little girl was not from Kama Taj.

"Gu Yi is also my mentor, and I have learned a lot from her." Xie did not deny this fact, and she has always learned from Gu Yi with a student mentality.

"Okay. What if these books are only overdue? Will I have to pay an overdue fee? Will I lose arms and legs?" Stephen made a cold joke in order not to lose his composure.However, neither of the two present answered, just staring at him. "Actually, everyone thought I was quite humorous before."

"I think they should all be your employees!" Wang replied blankly.

Stephen heard the words and picked up the book that Xi had chosen for him helplessly, "Forget it, I am really happy to chat with you, thank you for introducing these books to me, telling me creepy stories, and threatening my life."

Stephen turned and left after speaking.

"Do you think he will be obedient and not practice?" Xi watched Stephen walk out the door and asked Wang on the side.

Wang, who was sorting out the books, paused, turned his head, only to realize that Xi was watching him talking, and was asking him just now, "With my warning, I don't think he will experiment." Wang replied quite confidently.

Xi looked at the direction in which Stephen left, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. If Stephen Strange was a guy who took an unusual path, he would not become a superhero in the future.

. . . . . .

Unfortunately in Karma Taj's room.

At this point, Xi will close her eyes and go to sleep.Although she can do without sleep, she likes it, especially if she is asleep without demons.

Xi, who was asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the circle of sparks at the end of the bed.

The other party didn't hide it, Xi turned over and sat up, "You came to me so late, what's the matter?"

Gu Yi scattered the portal behind him, sat down at the table in Xi's room, picked up the kettle and poured himself a glass of water.

"I'm guessing, it's about Stephen!" Xie's expression was clear, and at this moment when darkness would appear at any time, Stephen was the key.

"Of course, he still hasn't gotten out of his frame." Gu nodded, and then looked up at Xi who was sitting on the bed.At that moment, she was stunned. "It's really like..." she murmured softly.

"What?" He raised his eyebrows in pity, not understanding what Gu Yi meant.

"Uh, nothing." Gu Yi changed the subject vigilantly. "I'm here because I want you to help Stephen Strange, let him learn to take advantage of the situation and give up his ego."

"Why are you looking for me? You can do it!"

"Of course..." Gu Yi smiled and nodded, "You will have better results."

"Are you worried?" Xi rolled her eyes, Gu Yi's statement was too far-fetched. "Did Casillas really have such a big influence on you?"

"No, not Casillas," Gu Yi shook his head, "it's myself."

"Does the power of darkness make you at a loss?" Xi sat up straight, staring at Gu Yi with a sad look.

"Dormammu? If it's him, it's not terrible. As long as I'm alive, he will never be able to step into the earth." Gu Yi's face became serious.

After being serious, he became dazed again, "But...", he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Everything is her fault, including pity, which is the source of her real worry.

"But what?" Xi asked.

"Don't ask Xi, just treat it as helping me. Guide Stephen." Gu Yi shook his head and said earnestly.

Xi stared blankly at Gu Yi, she seemed to have seen Erskine's figure, and he had also begged herself in the same way.

This person who was like an elder in her heart would show such an expression, what is the reason? Unfortunately, she couldn't understand.But pity still agreed.

"it is good!"
