[Comprehensive British and American] Adventures of the Master

There were bursts of rustling sounds in his ears. At first, they were faint, as if they were far away, but then they got closer and closer, and they rustled in his ears, which could not be ignored.

William's consciousness finally began to struggle uncomfortably.

Very noisy, what is this?William thought vaguely.

Finally, William woke up.

His head was heavy, as if it was stuffed with paste. After a long time, William managed to regain consciousness and remembered who he was.

He was lying on the ground at this moment, his limbs were numb and weak, and he was almost unconscious.He tried hard to open his eyes, and vaguely saw a bright full moon hanging high above his head.As bright as that night three years ago.

He should be lying on the soil, he smelled the smell of dry soil and plants.I also saw some tall erected yellow plants around, like dry corn stalks.

Without the strength to get up, he simply closed his eyes and took a little effort to recall.

He remembered.

He is a mage, a mage who can use magic, living and working in the Supreme Sanctuary in New York.

His immediate boss is Supreme Mage Stephen Strange, who is also his teacher.

One day, Stephen had just dealt with a monster that came from an unknown world in New York City. The place where the monster passed was covered with huge mushrooms.

Fortunately, the place where this monster appeared was in the suburbs, surrounded by some old factories, and there were no people at night.

The two of them quickly dealt with the monster and the mushrooms, and the workers who went to work the next day would not notice anything except a smell of wet mushrooms.

Not long after I came back, the defense system in the temple showed that there was something wrong with the underground of the library.

As soon as he walked into the basement, the sound of metal clashing reached his ears.William suddenly realized what was going on, and immediately ran to a row of bookshelves. He walked sideways and reached the innermost part.

All the books on this row of bookshelves were tightly bound and locked by magical metal chains.Some ancient books have evil magic attached to them, and mages have to do this to suppress them to ensure safety.

William was very familiar with the book in front of him, and it was trembling uneasily at this moment, as if trying to break free from the chains on his body.

On the cover of the book is an English word of unknown meaning, "Necronomiconz".

The power of the chains had weakened, William realized.

The sanctuary has protective formations, and this book is one of them in order to suppress some things under the sanctuary.The magic formation relies on the daily maintenance and inspection of the mages, and the energy for the entire magic formation is the magical artifacts handed down by the mages of the past generations collected in the sanctuary.And the Supreme Mage, that is, Stephen, is the one who makes the entire magic circle work.

But today, Stephen almost exhausted his mana in order to deal with the huge mushrooms that covered several streets, including William himself.

But this is nothing to the supreme mage. No one was injured. As long as the mage thinks, there are many ways to quickly recover his physical strength.

Stephen used several confinement spells in a row, but the book became even more restless.

Perhaps under some kind of bewitchment, William slowly raised his hand and reached for the leather cover of the book.

He has never been able to see what kind of animal skin this rough and hard black leather cover is made of. Stephen said that he has never seen this kind of skin. You know, those ancient books are made of any kind of skin.But what is certain is that it was stripped from an extremely evil magical animal.

"Stop!" Stephen was thinking about using some spell to reseal the book, when he suddenly saw William's action, he shouted angrily, and reached out and grabbed William's wrist.

But it was still a step too late.

The moment he touched the cover, William felt that his whole body was sucked by a force, his head hit the iron chain heavily, and blood gushed from his forehead.Warm blood flowed down the bridge of his nose, blurring his vision.

William struggled desperately.His right shoulder was attached to the book so hard that he couldn't move half of his body.He propped up his left hand and kicked his legs hard, trying to tear himself away from the book.Blood dripped down the iron chain onto the black hard leather cover, and was quickly absorbed.

He noticed that his mana was rapidly draining along with his blood.

William began to lose his strength, and his mana was rapidly drained, which also took away his physical strength.He tried to resist, but in vain.His physical strength doubled, and his struggles began to become a little weak.

William simply gave up his futile resistance. He groped around his waist with his left hand and pulled out a short blade. This was the magic weapon Stephen asked him to choose. This magic weapon was once held by a supreme mage, and it was full of magic power William is very comfortable with it.He took a deep breath, raised the knife, and stabbed hard at the cover of the book.

The sharp short blade pierced the cover immediately, and the tip of the knife sank into the book.William was about to do it again, when the whole book suddenly rioted, and a huge terrifying noise burst out from the knife edge of the cover, as if there were countless innocent souls and terrifying creatures screaming crazily outside the book.

William's consciousness instantly went blank.

At the end of his consciousness, he only remembered feeling a huge suction.

At the end of the memory, William opened his eyes and moved his limbs.The numbness faded a lot, and his strength returned to his body.

William stood up with support, his eyes suddenly went black, and it took a long time for the dizziness to fade away.

He tentatively touched his forehead, and as expected, he felt a tingling pain, and some blood that was about to solidify was stained on his fingers.His forehead began to ache, but William felt that he was truly awake now.

Standing in a cornfield as tall as a person, William smelled the faint fragrance of corn stalks in the air, and stared blankly into the distance in a daze.It wasn't until the first ray of sunlight in the morning stung his eyes that he suddenly realized that it was already early morning, and the previous round of bright moon had already hung low to the horizon, and it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Let's go back to the sanctuary first, the sanctuary must be a mess now, but life is still going on, he sighed, and slowly raised his hand.

The golden light flowed from his hands, gradually converging into a circle with his movements, just when William was about to succeed, he was hit hard from the back of the head by something.

William was taken aback.When he looked back, a red cloak was floating behind him, and the corner of the raised collar was playfully folded towards him, making a knocking motion, there was no doubt that it was the culprit just now.

William is not in the mood to fuss with it as usual. This is Stephen's cloak. Although it has been torn in several places, he still recognizes it at a glance.William pulled it in surprise and asked, "Where is Stephen? He returned to Earth?"

The cloak turned around and flew towards a place, and William trotted to follow.Cloak led him out of the cornfield and onto a narrow field path.He followed it and ran panting. He saw a tall tree in the field not far away, and the cloak was flying towards it quickly.

William followed it panting, and finally ran out of the corn field and came under the big tree.

William put his hands on his knees and looked at it out of breath. His physical strength has not yet recovered.Two field paths intersect here, and on one side of the intersection is this big tree hugged by several people. His teacher, Stephen Strange, is sitting cross-legged under the tree.

William stepped forward and walked in front of Stephen.He sat facing the roots of the big tree, as if in deep meditation, motionless.The cloak flew around Stephen and fell back on his shoulders.Finally, it took the collar and patted Stephen's face lightly, but the latter didn't respond.Still silent like a statue.

William walked carefully to Stephen's side and sat down next to him.He checked the condition of the teacher carefully.

"The sequelae of running out of magic power? Damn, I don't remember what happened after I touched that book." William whispered.

He thought for a while, and decided to take Stephen back to the sanctuary first, at least find a better place to rest.
