Chapter 194: Sign a Contract with Me!
Why do you want to help Strange leave Kamataki? The reason is simple, because dealing with Strange is actually helping Li Jie solve his own problems.
The king of Kamateiki, the chief administrator, has given up his word, and he wants to advise Arashi to return to Kamataki to continue his studies, so as to keep Arashi away from New York, especially from Li Jie.
This is not good news for Li Jie, and he needs to find an excuse for Arashi to stay. It's better to still be a good excuse that can't be refused. It was at this time that Strange's appearance gave Li Jie a flash of inspiration.
Strange has a gift, and the ancient see that he has what it takes to be a good mage. Both he and Doom have the potential to become the heirs of the Ancient One and become Supreme Mages. This makes Strange very important.
Enough Doom clearly sees Strange as a competitor, and he is determined to win the position of Supreme Mage. In fact, there is a lot of paranoia in Doom's character. It's like playing chess and you have to win, otherwise he won't allow the other party to leave.
You must win a gold medal to participate in the games, and to win a silver medal is a failure. Therefore, for the position of Supreme Mage, it is not that Doom necessarily wants more, but that he must not lose. That's all.
So Strange became his rival, and Dom never showed mercy to his rivals. Exclusion, suppression, bullying and other means are naturally used. And it was used very wisely, at least the king did not see it. On the contrary, I feel that appropriate friction can increase the relationship between brothers and sisters.
Of course, as a victim, Strange certainly didn't think so. If he could, he would have liked to get as far away from Durm as possible.
Just like now, he and Li Jie stood in front of the Ancient One Mage and expressed their attitude: "Respected Ancient One Mage, it's not because I want to escape from the practice of learning magic. Actually, I'm very, very obsessed with magic. I love these occult things, it's real. But I don't think I can stay here forever. ”
Strange stood beside Li Jie and said with a righteous expression, "Actually, when this Nightcrawler and his companions brought me, I was doing MSF activities. I am a good doctor and my desire is to help people all over the world get rid of their sickness. I've done this for years. "Strange was sincere, as if it were true.
The Ancient One sat on the stage and listened to Strange's speech, with a noncommittal expression on his face.
Strange continued, "For me, practicing as a mage is a wonderful experience. It sublimates and delights my life. But in the dead of night, I think. I can live a happy life here, but what about the sick and sick?"
"It's not that I'm boasting, because it's not disrespectful to other doctors. There are a lot of surgeries in this world, especially neurosurgery, which only I can do. Strange said this with confidence.
"When I think about these things, my heart is tormented. I should be standing in front of the operating table with a lancet to heal and save people, and I can't let those innocent patients who are suffering die in torment because of my personal preference. It's not fair to them, I can't waste my medical skills for so many years! They still need to be useful!"
Strange's speech was full of emotion, and Li Jie couldn't help but applaud him in his heart.
Li Jie's inner OS: Strange is simply a natural actor. Whether it is a mean businessman, a studious student, or a compassionate doctor, he plays without flaws. Li Jie almost surrendered.
I just colluded with him for a few lines, but I didn't expect Strange's performance to be so perfect that I couldn't find any flaws.
The Ancient One Master calmly listened to Strange's speech, and then spoke, "So, Strange, what do you want to express?
Strange stepped forward and replied, "I want to continue my practice on the magical journey. I might be able to teach myself a part, although the pace will be a bit slow. Then I can come to Kamataki on weekends and Sundays through the New York Temple. It's like a work-study community college, or an adult college. ”
"This way I can juggle my obligations as a doctor and learn magic. That way I won't be delayed on either side. Strange said the plan. If that's the case, it's clear that he'll be tired in the days ahead.
But it's okay to be tired, it's better than staying by Doom's side!
The Ancient One Master also realized this and said, "But in this way, your study work intensity is too high, and you may get half the effort. ”
And at this time, Li Jie stood up and interjected: "Actually, there is a good way, Ancient One Mage." ”
Gu Yi glanced at Li Jie and asked a little playfully, "What method?"
"Arashi is living in my place now, isn't he? I think it should be no problem teaching Strange at Arashi's level. At least he's not so high that you have to direct him personally. I have heard that even the king did not guide him all the time. He still has a lot to learn, and I think Arashi should be able to help Strange with most of his questions. Li Jie cautiously proposed his own solution, and he looked at the Ancient One Mage. Well, I can't see the mage's expression.
After a while, the Ancient One Mage spoke, "Sounds good?" Li Jie always felt that the Ancient One Master seemed to mean something.
"Actually, I know Strange, you don't seem to have a good time with Doom?" the Ancient One mage stood up and paced, "It's normal, Doom is more ambitious and aggressive. Although you are also very motivated, you lack his ferocity. In one way, that's an advantage, but another perspective might be a disadvantage. So I've been thinking about this as well, how to make you study well. ”
"I've thought about giving you over to the New York Temple teachers first, or letting you go to Hong Kong. Of course, I've thought about letting Arashi teach you. All three of these methods are good, but now that the two of you have discussed it and proposed the last one, let's do what you think. ”
The Ancient One Mage said with a smile on his face, "Actually, since the Nightkin has made this good opinion, then I don't think I need to convince the king. I don't have to listen to him whispering in my ear all day long that I should bring Arashi back. ”
Gu Yi shook his head: "When the children grow up, they should be allowed to fly, instead of being trapped in a cage all the time, right? Gu Yi looked at Li Jie when he said this.
This plan was obviously proposed by himself, but why did he seem to be fooled for some reason? Could this be the legendary Waiting for the Rabbit?
Li Jie opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. Until he finally left, he still heard the advice of the ancient one mage in his ears: "Remember to stay away from Wang Yuan next time you come to Kamataki." He can casually gather hundreds of close mages, you can't win!"
Li Jie stumbled and almost fell to the ground, oh my God! Is the Ancient First Master ready to push everything on his head? Li Jie looked left and right, very good, now the king is not here.
He pulled Strange to run as fast as he could, and said as he ran, "You'll need to sign a contract with me later!"
"What? is it a rental contract?" asked Strange as he followed Jack's steps.
"No! is a pact made with your soul. You need to keep everything you see and hear a secret, or your soul will be burned to the ground. Li Jie replied quickly.
"Hat! what terrible thing are you going to take me?" Strange stood still, and didn't run after Li Jie. He felt as if he had been fooled. It's the same as when Li Jie faced Gu Yi just now.
Li Jie stopped and glanced at Strange and said seriously: "Actually, signing this contract is for your health. ”
"Huh?!" Strange became more and more confused: "What and what? Can you tell me what you want to do? I can't buy my soul to the devil at will!"
Li Jie waved his hand: "It's not that serious." It's just a relatively strict confidentiality agreement. You can't reveal my true identity and keep your mouth shut. And everything you see needs to be kept secret. ”
Strange asked, "That's it?"
Li Jie nodded: "Yes, that's it." One more thing, I'm going to introduce you to your new roommate later. So sign a contract with me, Strange!"9.
