Glory of the Sun God (Marvel Sun God)

Strange knew he was in big trouble, but he didn't have any other choice. .biqugev

As a doctor, no matter what, he couldn't watch so many people die under his eyes, so even though he knew it was a trap, he still chose to jump in without hesitation.

Of course, if this was a dead end and the only outcome would be to be buried with him if he jumped, then he would have no choice but to do nothing to help with such a thing.But fortunately, things are not that bad yet.

He still has something to think about. At the very least, he is right in thinking this way.And why he can have such confidence, in the final analysis, it is the special convenience given to him by his status as Baron Mordo's disciple.

Baron Mordo was the former manager of the New York Temple, and as a direct disciple of the ancient master, he retained a very important wealth when Kamathaj fell, which was what Kamathaj collected. Tens of thousands of precious classics.

Ancient Egypt, ancient Persia, Greece, Rome, India, and even the collection of books left by the Library of Alexandria, the relics of the Palace of Lingli, and the inheritance of Tantra have all been preserved by Kama Taj.

Baron Mordo spent a lot of effort to maintain such a wealth, and the effort he spent was not in vain, because he provided huge benefits to those who came after him, especially mages like Strange. convenience.

Strange wants to find other ways to enter hell, relying on these precious books.And if these things did not exist, it would be impossible for him to find such a secret way.And even so, this is not an easy job.Just like the mood of Strange standing in front of tens of thousands of Tibetan books at this moment.

"Where do I start looking?"

Where to start, that is the question.You must know that these collections of books were left behind in different eras and cultures. If you want to understand the contents of these collections of books, or even discover the secrets within them, the most basic thing is that you must have knowledge of the cultures of these different eras. Enough understanding.

For Strange, this is almost a difficult hurdle to overcome.Because the only written languages ​​he is proficient in are English, Sanskrit and part of Chinese.Among them, Chinese is the thing that catches him the most, because if it is the modern books with simple and easy-to-understand language, it will be fine. Once the seal script appears on the text and the language becomes unfamiliar, he will immediately feel like reading a book from heaven.

In the past, he didn't think this would be a problem. After all, he still had more time, and there was a knowledgeable teacher around him to ask for advice. As long as he worked hard to study, he would be able to learn these complex knowledge sooner or later.

But now, there are only five days left for him, and he wants to find what he wants from so many complicated books in five days.It is simply impossible for him to spend time learning new languages ​​and writings.

Realizing this, Strange immediately made a decision in his heart, and then he immediately started to control magic and cast it in this library full of books.

As a mage's book collection place, of course the books here cannot be picked up and read like in an ordinary library.Not to mention the damage that this might cause to those ancient books, the counter-magic spells arranged on these ancient books alone are enough for most reckless people to drink from.

If you want to read a book, you can only do it with Kama Taj's unique magic method.Just like fishing with a fishing rod, these precious books are pulled out by magic.

If your mana reaches the level where you can read this book, then you can naturally get it at your fingertips.And if you want to read books that are beyond your ability, it is like trying to catch a whale with a fishing rod. Even if you try your best to suck the milk, it will not help at all.

After all, there are many books with magic inheritance in Kama Taj's collection. This is also done to prevent the apprentices from being too ambitious and suddenly coming into contact with things they should not come into contact with, thereby causing huge harm to themselves.Of course, this doesn't happen to Strange.On the one hand, it is because his own level is so high that it is almost equivalent to using the magic power of an archmage, which is enough to mobilize all books.On the other hand, the direction he was looking for was not those precious magic books, but the anecdotes and secret information.Libraries are certainly not that restrictive in this regard.

Instead of focusing on translating ancient books and texts he didn't understand, Strange simply used the mage's manuscripts from modern times.

Since the Age of Discovery began, and the British took advantage of the convenience of navigation to become an empire on which the sun never sets, mages have taken advantage of the east wind of navigation and donned various guises to openly explore various places in the world. unsolved puzzle.

You know, this was not so easy in the past, because if they were to spy on those cultural secrets in the way of mages, then they might arouse strong opposition from the owners of cultural heritage.On a more serious note, it is not impossible to attract monsters from the mysterious world or even gods and demons to fight.

However, if the expedition team on the European side is allowed to do such a thing and they sit back and reap the benefits, then the situation will be different.

Explorers are ordinary people, and ordinary people are treated differently from mages.When dealing with mages, those ancient inheritors will never violate the contract they signed with the Supreme Mage. Even if they are killed, the Supreme Mage can only watch helplessly and cannot seek revenge on these guys.But if it is an ordinary person, then the situation is different.

If one or two ordinary people are involved in a contest in this mysterious world, they will die.The Supreme Mage would not take such a big risk to go to war with those ancient mysterious existences just for the lives of one or two ordinary people.However, if these ordinary people were an adventure team composed of great maritime powers like Britain and France, then the situation would be different.

The opening of the Great Navigation Age has broadened the horizons of mankind as a whole.For the first time, they realized that there were places in the world that they didn't know, and there were areas that they didn't understand.You say it's out of yearning for the unknown, or out of your own greed and predatory nature.In short, people of that era were very willing to explore all the places they didn't know about.As long as someone is willing to spend money to fund it, there are many experienced explorers willing to sacrifice their lives.And money is really insignificant to mages.

Even not counting Kama Taj's thousands of years of accumulation, just the magic of turning stone into gold allows them to squander a large amount of money at will.And in that era, if you had money, there was really nothing you couldn't do.Even if you want to buy a warship from the Royal Navy to form your expedition team, it is not impossible as long as you have enough money and find a qualified person to guarantee it.

The mages of Kama Taj are not short of money and people, so naturally, under the guise of a powerful country like Britain and France, the expedition team actually operated by the mages behind the scenes is like a wide net. Spread out to the whole world.

The secrets that were unknown in the past were explored by the mages, and the mysteries that were unknown in the past were held in the hands of the mages.Most of these became the handwritten notes of the Karma Taj masters and were recorded in the library of Karma Taj.And now, most of these notes have been placed in front of Strange.

One thousand, four hundred and forty two copies, this is not a small amount.Although many of the notes in it were so thin that they were less than two fingers thick, the accumulation of so many notes still gave Strange a feeling of pressure exploding in his skull in such a short moment. Feel.

As a doctor, he began to mourn for his liver because he already felt that he would say goodbye to sleep in these five days.For an ordinary person, this is the rhythm of sudden death.But at any rate, he has gone beyond ordinary people's concepts now. Five days without sleep will be over after a while.

With this encouragement in his mind, Strange picked up a volume of notes and began to read them carefully.

This is a scroll about Arctic exploration.The scroll records an incident in which an Inuit shaman signed a contract with an evil spirit at the cost of cutting out his tongue and controlled this Arctic evil spirit.Seeing the evil spirit, Strange paid attention because he thought it might be related to what he was looking for about the gate to hell.But after careful study, he discovered that it had nothing to do with hell.

The so-called Arctic Evil Spirit is not a guy from hell at all. It is more like a mixture of animal spirits and earth-bound spirits. It is an evil thing born through primitive worship.In other words, it has no value, pass!

After throwing away this volume of notes, Strange picked up another volume of notes.

This volume of notes records a period of history from Eastern Europe. There is no element of an adventure team in it, but some strange phenomena discovered by a local young man from Eastern Europe on his way home to visit his relatives after learning magic from Kama Taj.

Eastern Europe has always been a backward region of Europe. Superstition is very heavy here, and many legends about gods and vampires are rampant here.And here, what this Eastern European mage records is a story about an evil god.

In a small town near his hometown, there has been such a legend.When you hear the thump of a cane on the floor, hide your child.Otherwise, the owner of the crutch will steal your children, and when he steals a hundred children, the gate of hell will open on this land.

This legend seems to be a typical bedtime story to scare children, and the mage in the note thinks so too, and does not take it to heart.But when he stopped in this small town, he discovered that this story was not just a children's story, it was true.

In the dead of night, the owner of the hotel where he was staying was still busy with the overnight guests and had no time to take care of his children.When he came to his senses, his two children were gone.

Many guests in the hotel, including wizards, stated that they heard the sound of the cane on the ground.Things like this made the hotel owner's expression change drastically. He even woke up the entire town, held up torches and shotguns, and groped towards the forest outside the town.

It was about the lives of two children, and even a mage couldn't stay out of it.So as an enthusiastic traveler, this mage also joined the search camp.And it was precisely because he joined it that he discovered that this town had hidden secrets that were unknown to outsiders.

The adults among them obviously did not treat this story as a legend, and when the things in the story really happened, they did not panic like headless flies, but were very organized, even Said to be heading towards the forest outside the town with a clear goal.

Ordinary people may not be able to see this, but a knowledgeable mage may see it clearly.And when he followed these town residents deep into the forest, he immediately discovered something strange in the forest.

It's strange, but not uncommon, to have a castle in the forest.After all, in this part of Europe, it is normal to have castles.Maybe if you look up a hundred years, you can dig out a famous aristocratic family.

Castle, not weird.The strange thing is the structure of this castle. Except for a gate, the castle is completely sealed and there is not even a window. This is naturally strange.According to the records in the mage's notes, he felt as if he had seen a huge coffin.

It wasn't just the outside that gave him this feeling, it was the same inside as well.The entire castle is more like a tomb made of stones than a castle, and in such a tomb, the mage discovered many remarkable things.

There are traces of cult rituals, remnants of large-scale blood sacrifices, seals and all kinds of man-made destruction.If this mage is a family, maybe he can immediately weave a dark story in his mind.And even though he has no talent in this area, he can still identify many unknown past events from these remaining traces.

It was obvious that this was a fallen cult base.Even Strange could draw this conclusion from the description in the notes.As for why it was said to be defeated, you can probably guess just from the words seal and destruction.And if you look at it from this perspective, the identity of the residents in this town is worth figuring out.

Maybe a remnant of a cult, maybe a keeper of the seal.Judging from the judgment of the note-taker, he prefers the latter.

The remaining things are a bit cliché, the evil god who escaped from the seal, and the ancient count who was parasitized by the evil god.Blood sacrifice, and the door being opened.The owner of the note seemed to have escaped from the castle after a narrow escape, and it seemed that he was also seriously affected by something, so much so that at the end of the note, he became somewhat incoherent.

It's troublesome to have no conclusion, but in Strange's eyes, this seems to be a possibility.

He did not simply draw a conclusion, but regarded the place recorded in this note as a tentative direction.As for whether he should explore it in the end, he still has to think about it.Of course, what he has to do now is to continue the work at hand.

There are still many books, and he still has many options to choose from.There might be a better choice.
