Stephen felt well rested, he felt as if he had just woken up from a sweet dream.

He lazily opened his eyes, and found that he was sleeping in a huge empty palace, surrounded by golden coins and exquisite gems.Heaps piled up on the marble floor.The hall was shrouded in the long luster reflected by gold and jewels, and the hazy golden light permeated every corner of the dim hall.

He felt very happy, very contented to sleep on these priceless jewels, and felt that these gold coins were more comfortable than any Simmons in the world.

He just slept comfortably for a while, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked around again.

Only then did he realize that his posture was not quite right, he was lying on the ground.But he felt comfortable lying on his stomach, as if this was the most suitable posture for him.

He tried to raise his head, only to find that he was also covered with a heavy layer of jewels, which fell down with his movements.Stephen was stunned for a while, feeling something was wrong, why did it fall so much?

The gold coins popped out all the way.

No, why do those gold coins look so small?He tilted his head in thought.Following his movements, another pile of gold coins fell down.

[Stephen, Stephen! 】

Stephen vaguely heard someone calling himself, who is it?There is obviously no one else here except myself.

[Stephen!Wake up! 】

The sound is very small, inaudible.His brain was thinking slowly, and it took him a long time to remember that it was his apprentice William's voice.

Why do you have apprentices?Who am I?Stephen thought lazily.

He felt that he shouldn't be such a lazy person, but he was really comfortable now and didn't want to move at all.

Who am I?

I am the supreme mage.

In an instant, Stephen remembered everything.

He thought of those mushrooms, and that restless book, and his apprentice who was too stupid.

How dare you touch such a dangerous item!

However, the origin of that item has something to do with William, maybe this is the guidance of some kind of fate.

But the important thing now is to figure out your own situation.

Where is this?Is he dead?Not so in the realm of the dead, full of gold coins and jewels.

William's shout came again.Stephen didn't think about it anymore, he realized that this voice might be the key to him getting rid of the status quo.He closed his eyes and focused on listening, trying to catch the voice in his mind.

The voice became louder and closer, and at the same time, Stephen's consciousness became weaker and weaker, as if a force wanted to drag him away from this body, away from this body.

William looked anxious. He didn't know what happened to Stephen. He didn't know why his soul was not in his body. He didn't find any soul around him, and he couldn't even locate Stephen's soul.

Too many things were wrong, and he had to find a way to get Stephen back.

He had seen Stephen use this type of magic to call back the souls of the family members of those who came to him for help, and William had assisted, but had never practiced it himself.

But he had to try.

William was lucky to succeed, Stephen's breathing began to become short, and his eyes rolled uneasily under his eyelids.

He breathed a sigh of relief and realized that his back was drenched with sweat.

Stephen slowly opened his eyes. He was a little confused at first, but William soon saw that his eyes were awake.

He saw William sitting on the side, and he didn't seem surprised by William's existence.

Stephen pushed himself up and tried to sit up, only to realize that he was lying on the floor, and William was sitting on the side and staring at him with concern, "Are you okay, sir, is there anything wrong?"

Because of lying down for too long, Stephen felt his head hurt after sitting up.He propped his forehead and looked around, he didn't know what time it was, the surrounding light was dim, and he couldn't see anything clearly, "Where are we? What's going on here?"

William hurriedly explained a lot, until William finally talked about where they are now.

"You mean, this is the sanctuary?" Stephen interrupted William in surprise.No wonder he was surprised, this place feels completely different from the sanctuary.

"Yes, this place has become a private residence. I opened the portal and found something was wrong. I was anxious to wake you up, but I haven't had time to take a closer look at the house. But I guess the owner seems to have moved away. Just because I was afraid I saw me using spells outside, so I didn't draw the curtains." William got up and walked to the wall, raised one arm and opened the thick curtains, and clusters of dust fluttered down, and William quickly took a big step back.

The glare of the sun's internal structure is still familiar to them, with big red wooden floors, high ceilings, and wooden stairs with handrails.But those exquisite instruments containing profound mana, together with their booths, were all missing.

In its place was one piece of bulky furniture covered in canvas.A long sofa, several large armchairs, and seven or eight solid wooden dining chairs are placed on the long canvas-covered dining table.There are also countless other small pieces of furniture, all wrapped tightly, and the rough white canvas is covered with a thick layer of dust.

Stephen was silent, and William knew why.This should be the third floor of the Sanctuary. Where William opened the curtains, there should have been a beautiful skylight engraved with the huge logo of the Supreme Sanctuary, but now it has become a row of ordinary floor-to-ceiling windows.

William said slowly, "This may really be a different world, sir. I looked at the room from the balcony for a while before, and the streets outside were intact, with no traces of previous battles at all. And many of the streets The details are different too. It's really, really...ordinary here."

Stephen was silent for a long time, and William didn't interrupt his thinking. He had a lot of questions to ask, such as what happened after Stephen was taken away by Thanos' men?How did they fail?Was the Time Stone really taken away?

William thought of the tragedy of his companion, and the depression suppressed by the unfamiliar environment emerged. He simply sat on the floor and stared out the window in a daze.The street outside was quiet and peaceful, and it was also autumn, and the trees beside the street were still the two familiar ones.

After a while, Stephen crossed his legs and chanted a spell. He was going to summon the power to try to summon Vishanti. William hurriedly sat opposite Stephen.

The ceremony appears to have gone well.But William can feel a lot weaker than before.They could feel His presence, but something separated them from the original world.

"It absorbed your mana, disguised itself as a person, first went to the place where I disappeared, tore the boundary of the world, and came here." Stephen opened his eyes and looked at William, "You were brought by it Come here, as for me, I should ask it." He took off his cloak while speaking.

It had been torn apart during the battle, and it was now floating innocently.It first rolled up one corner and wrapped it around William's ankle, then put the collar back on Stephen's neck, pulling the two of them lightly.

"It seems that we have figured out what's going on." Stephen said meaningfully, the cloak obediently returned to Stephen's shoulders, and put on a perfect posture.

William was a little sleepy, and his nerves after a day of tossing began to relax.He couldn't help but yawned and sneezed a few times because of the dust in the room.

"We all need to rest. I hope the owner will forgive us for staying overnight." As soon as Stephen finished speaking, the house became clean. "A simple cleaning spell."

William became more and more sleepy, and the sequelae of the previous blood loss also followed. He was very dizzy.He simply lay down on the floor that had become so fine, and said vaguely, "For the sake of us being cleaners..." He couldn't keep his eyes open after finishing speaking.

Stephen looked at him and thought for a while. William still had a lot to say, but it seemed impossible for William to make it clear today, so he just lay down on the side.

There are still many things waiting for them tomorrow.
