I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 27 Real Objects

At this moment, Logan is like a father who is worried about his child, not like the superhero in our minds. His helplessness and fatigue make people sigh.

Li Jie felt helpless about the situation, and he said to Logan: "I will ask Iron Fist, and also ask around to see if I can find any friends who can help you." Li Jie wanted to help Logan collect some useful information, even though he himself could not help him solve the problem directly.

After hearing this, Logan smiled and waved to Li Jie, expressing his deep gratitude for his kindness.

Looking at Logan's receding back, Li Jie couldn't help but frown. Perhaps he should really go to Kamar-Taki. Perhaps Master Ancient One would know some powerful monks. After all, Ancient One even knew Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. If he said he also knew Buddha, Li Jie wouldn't be surprised now.

Moreover, the SAT exam was over, and Li Jie was about to leave his family and live independently. Now that he had a lot of free time, the matter of going to Kamartaki for training could finally be put on the agenda. Just when Li Jie was planning for his future.

Far across the ocean in London, England, in the Greenwich Temple, Ancient One was having a fierce argument with Mordo.

Located in the Greenwich area of ​​London, England, it is one of the oldest districts in London, with many buildings with a history of more than 100 years. Large tracts of granite and marble represented the solidity and luxury of the construction industry a hundred years ago.

After a hundred years of wind and rain, many buildings still retain their original design style, showing the unique beauty of that period when the great industrial era and the Enlightenment were intertwined.

Similar to the Temple in New York, the Mage's Temple in London also adopts the design concept of being hidden in the downtown area.

From the outside, apart from finding a pattern similar to the logo of the State Grid Corporation of China on the glass window on the roof (in fact, that is the symbol of the Supreme Sorcerer), you can't see any connection with the Sorcerer at all.

The building's public identity is a private museum, which is only open to a small number of VIP members. Ordinary people are not qualified to enter.

If you happen to pass by this building, you will be deeply attracted by the exhibits in the windows. Weapons, clothing, torture instruments and even armor from the Age of Exploration can be clearly seen through the glass windows.

However, these exhibits are not conjured up by wizards, but real objects. They appear to be just ordinary artifacts, but if you despise them and let your guard down, you will be in trouble.

Because these are real magic items, some of them are even cursed. The wizards sealed them here in a special way, and built a real museum with these real and imaginary magic items.

When it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, the truth and falsehood become confusing.

The London Temple holds a special place among the three supreme temples. In addition to being a holy place for mages, its underground is also the burial place of Merlin, another supreme magistrate.

The medieval wizard Merlin was born and died here. Before his death, he cast a powerful spell on this land, giving the London Temple an advantage over the other two temples from the very beginning.

In addition, the Greenwich Temple is located on the Prime Meridian, and is also the place where the global Greenwich Mean Time is established!

Under the temple is a huge underground palace, which is not only the resting place of Master Merlin, but also his final museum.

Merlin left all the magic he had learned and mastered in his life here, as well as all his experience. Due to the spell cast by Merlin, even the Ancient One could not easily take away the books and classics here.

Unless he intends to completely destroy the entire Tomb of Merlin, it is obvious that Ancient One would not do such an immoral thing.

Therefore, there are actually two different factions within the Supreme Sorcerer: one is the Kamartaki faction that is based on the doctrines of the modern and contemporary Supreme Sorcerer; the other is the Greenwich faction that adheres to the doctrines of the medieval Supreme Sorcerer Merlin.

The doctrine taught by the Ancient One to his disciples pointed out that it was the responsibility of the wizards to protect the Earth from invasion by demons and maintain the Earth's super stability. The three major temples on Earth were built only after the Ancient One became the Supreme Wizard 500 years ago.

The three holy temples control three crucial nodes on the earth. The Ancient One, holding the Eye of Agamotto, weaves the past time chains into three giant blue chains and hangs them above the earth to protect the fragile and changeable future.

People often say "grasp the present moment" or "live in the present moment". But in actual definition, whether in the field of science or in the world of mysticism, the exact meaning of the word "present moment" has never existed.

In the long river of time, there is only the past and the future, but no concept of "the present". Because no matter how agile a person's thinking is, it cannot catch up with the pace of time.

The moment you try to capture the "present", even if you just have this thought, the "present" you are talking about has become the past. And this fleeting past determines the direction of the future in the next moment.

The future is shaped by the past. Without the past, there is no future. However, the future is extremely fragile and changeable. Once the laws of the past are tampered with, where will the entire future go? Is each historical turning point accidental, inevitable, or deliberate?

As the custodian of the Time Stone and a powerful being that sweeps across the universe, Ancient One is a respected existence among all the Supreme Sorcerers of the past and present. But the responsibility he shoulders is also unprecedentedly heavy.

He firmly believes that with great power comes great responsibility, and he alone takes on the threat of the mysterious unknown.

However, not all wizards agree with his principles. For example, some wizards of the Greenwich faction, who are deeply influenced by the ideas of the wizard Merlin, hold different philosophies.

Merlin's philosophy is more open and free. He believes that wizards can make friends with ordinary people, and if wizards are willing, they can also help their friends fight against enemies with mysterious powers.

But the most important thing is that Master Merlin always advocates that mages should not be confined to Earth. He advocates that mages should explore more different dimensional worlds, places that no one knows about. Freedom and unrestrainedness are the essence of mages.

Whether pursuing power or refining potions, mages should not be restricted by the constraints of simple mortals, otherwise it will affect the performance of their abilities.

It's clear that Merlin is a liberal figure, as reflected in his magical heritage. His behavior is full of freedom and unrestrainedness. But this doesn't mean his path is suitable for everyone.

Merlin dealt with and traded with countless demons throughout his life, and even exchanged for the power of darkness, but he always stayed true to his heart. The way of learning magic he advocated was probably something only he could truly understand.

As the ancient Chinese monk Dao Ji said: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha sits in the heart. If people in the world try to imitate me, they will be like crazy."

Merlin's magic has a similar flavor. Ancient One is tolerant of the Greenwich faction, but she keeps a tight control on it. Because in her opinion, there is no talent among the current Greenwich faction wizards that can be compared with Merlin.

Among them, Baron Mordo, one of the most talented of all Ancient One's disciples, was specially sent by Ancient One to the Greenwich Temple to serve as a caretaker and supervisor, responsible for supervising the mages of the Greenwich faction.

However, this usually obedient disciple recently had a quarrel with Ancient One, which was the first time in history. In order to prevent the content of the quarrel from being leaked, Ancient One even had to set up a mirror wall to cut off the connection between the inside and outside of Mordo's residence.

Mordo's residence is on the top floor of the temple, spacious and comfortable. Persian wool carpets cover the mirrored floor made of natural marble. The chair backs are all made of hand-sewn velvet from the southeast coast of China. The solid and precious black walnut furniture is decorated with high-foot glasses carved from natural crystal and crucibles made of gold and silver alloys.

Ancient One floated in the air, not choosing to sit on the luxurious and comfortable furniture. At this moment, Mordo was pacing back and forth on the marble floor, his voice sounded anxious, even with a hint of anger: "Master, something must have happened, has something major happened! My teacher!"

"What do you want to say, Mordo?" Ancient One asked calmly, as if he didn't understand what Mordo was talking about.

"What happened in hell, isn't that a sign?" Mordo said in a firm tone rather than questioning: "The Earth Dragon is dead, you should know about this, my teacher. Bart, the demon from hell, told me this."

“Even powerful gods and demons will eventually fall, not to mention that the Earth Dragon is not a powerful demon god in Hell. Although he is the lord of Hell, he is almost the weakest one. There is nothing special about his fall.” Gu Yi acted very calmly about the fall of a demon god.

"This is not normal, teacher! Bart said that on the day when the Earth Dragon fell, the sky above Hell was covered with dark clouds, an unprecedented situation. Then the Earth Dragon suddenly fell from the dark clouds, as if the sky and the earth collapsed! Within his territory, it even rained blood all over the sky. That was the blood of the devil!"

Mordo narrated loudly, his fists clenched until his knuckles turned white. "This is not the fall of an ordinary demon. There was no fierce battle, and the earth dragon has not yet entered the twilight of his life. I know that something unusual is happening."

He looked at Ancient One firmly, shook his head and said, "Something very, very unusual, teacher. I know you can see things that we can't see. Dormammu's invasion of Hell is a clue! He knew what he was doing and knew he couldn't repay the karma of Hell, but he still broke into Hell. He must have noticed something. I just want an answer now."

Mordo looked at Ancient One expectantly. Ancient One glanced at him and slowly closed his eyes: "Nothing happened, Mordo."

Ancient One's answer disappointed Mordo: "Teacher, you are the greatest wizard in history. I don't expect to have the same powerful power as you one day, but I just want to understand some things that I should know."

Mordo's voice revealed urgency. Ancient One said: "Is this why you sent Rooney to Hell? You mobilized the magic power of the London Temple to send a wizard to Hell! Do you know why I don't allow them to explore other dimensions at will? They are different from Merlin the Wizard. Not everyone can become Merlin."

"You have to give it a try, teacher. If you don't try, how do you know if a new Merlin will appear?"

"Using the precious lives of mages to conduct experiments?"

"In the pursuit of truth, paying the price of life is acceptable. Every mage here is ready to pay such a price."

To this, Ancient One shook his head and expressed his objection: "I do not agree with this view. Blind exploration without a plan is tantamount to self-destruction. Mages should act with wisdom as the principle, rather than acting rashly."
