For Strange, Arashi's words are undoubtedly a rising star in the darkness. lit up a little light in his gloomy life.

As he himself said, he couldn't accept that he was like a drug to save his hair. After eating Li Jie's mille-feuille pasta, Strange set off for London.

The London Temple, although he hadn't been there, had heard of it. Although Thor poured cold water on him before he took it away, saying that "maybe that Baron Mordo is actually wearing a wig".

But Strange still took what Thor said as a fart. How could there be so many coincidences in this world? He didn't believe it anyway.

For Strange, what aliens are coming, what political reforms, all this has nothing to do with him. What is more important in the world than keeping your beautiful hair?

He knew Baron Mordo, he was the great disciple of the Ancient One, and apart from the king, he was the one who had followed the Ancient One the longest.

Baron Mordo was born into a noble family in Europe and held a hereditary title of nobility. His baronial title is hereditary to his family.

Baron Mordo was a serious white European, or rather a slightly arrogant white European aristocracy. He has a great talent for magic, and was chosen as an introductory disciple by the ancient scholars when he was a teenager.

Originally, as a big disciple, Baron Mordo should be the closest person to the ancient one. It's like Stick and Rock (Daredevil's brother) - Matt (Daredevil) - David (King Haibian). Because in the traditional Asian relationship map, the master-apprentice relationship is second only to the blood relationship of parents.

However, as Baron Mordo grew older, his relationship with the ancient one gradually became unfamiliar, and there was no such intimate relationship as father and son at all. This is just the opposite of Lan, although the relationship between Lan and Gu Yi is that of master and apprentice, but in essence it is like father and daughter.

In the end, Baron Mordo was sent out of Kamataki by the Ancient One and sent to London to manage the London Temple. This can also be regarded as Mordo's hometown. Speaking like this, it seems that the ancient one still takes great care of Baron Mordo.

But everyone's idea is different, and some things seem to be taken care of. But it may seem like an exile to the person concerned.

"The master kicked me out of the inner circle. This was Baron Mordo's self-talk in the London Temple's ashram.

He is different from Gu Yi in many places, Gu Yi was born five hundred years ago, he is a farmer's child, and when he grows up, he has a hard life of studying spells, and he is used to a relatively poor life.

The ancient one is very capable, but he basically does not pursue material enjoyment. As you can see from Kamateki's food, simple dishes such as boiled yak meat are part of the daily diet. Herdsmen's coarse and even slightly cloudy barley wine is the daily drink of the ancient one.

Born into an aristocratic family, Mordo actually had a hard time accepting all this. He has been accustomed to fine clothes and food since he was a child, and he did have a hard time following the ancient one to learn spells when he was a teenager.

But since the magic was small, Mordo will try to improve his life. It will improve from food to utensils.

At present, most of the tableware used in Kamataki's daily life is wooden tableware and black pottery tableware common in pastoral areas, and a small amount of porcelain is mixed.

Baron Mordo, on the other hand, used a full set of sterling silver cutlery and a beautiful set of crystal cups, carefully carved from plate to cup.

And the food you eat is much more particular. What flavor of steak is needed with the red wine produced in a certain year. What kind of drink is suitable for caviar in the afternoon and so on.

Mordo's pursuit grew out of his bones. He was a hereditary nobleman, and his family had passed down these traditions and ancestral rituals for nearly a thousand years.

The Ancient One didn't like Mordo, because he felt that excessive pursuit of external materials would make people lose in the pursuit of spells.

However, these things are just small sections, not a matter of principle for the upper platform. After all, everyone has their own way of living. It is impossible for the ancient one to be as demanding as Mordo is to be as poor and happy as himself.

But as Mordo became more and more aware of his penchant for material things, the Ancient One made the decision to leave London. Since then, Mordo has been transferred out of Kamataki.

It's like being an official in ancient times to be a Beijing official, because only a Beijing official has more opportunities to face the saint. Only by leaving a deep impression in front of the Holy One can we climb higher.

Mordo was sent to the London Temple as a Templar Garrison. The Ancient One gave him the freedom to live the life he wanted. But at the same time, it is equivalent to kicking Mordo out of the core competition circle.

Don't forget that the greatest legacy of the Ancient One is the status of the Supreme Master, and the empowerment of the next Supreme Master before the Ancient One leaves office.

Empowerment is not like passing on one's internal strength to others in martial arts, and then turning a rookie into a master or something. Instead, in a special way, the Ancient One passed on the knowledge he had mastered throughout his life to the next mage.

How much you can master depends on your talent, but the magic attainments and various unique understandings accumulated over the centuries of the ancient ones are a treasure that cannot be added to the treasure.

It's a very tempting thing, but now it's all about Mordo. Because he was kicked out of Kamataki and became a Templar in London.

He didn't really like it very much, because London had the Greenwich School left by Archmage Merlin. And there is a bit of a conflict of ideas between the Greenwich faction and the Kamataki faction.

Of the three major mage temples, the London temple is the most difficult to manage. It is necessary to balance the relationship between Greenwich and Kamataki, and to protect the legacy of Archmage Merlin's dungeon, while also doing what every temple must do, which is to maintain the stability of Earth's space and prevent alien invasions.

Mo Du was actually not very happy, especially now that he knew that Gu Yi had actually accepted two new apprentices. One is the famous Dr. Doom, and the other is a nobody, Strange.

Originally, Mo Du still had a little hope in his heart, and he still fantasized that he would one day inherit the mantle of the ancient one. Because the Ancient One had said a long time ago that he would not give the position of Supreme Mage to Arashi.

And in addition to Lan, the ancient one only has one apprentice of his own. So when Gu Yi is about to step down, his status will inevitably be passed on to himself.

But now the two newly recruited apprentices shattered the last vestiges of illusion in Mordo's heart.

Inside the ashram, Mordo felt that his meditation was not very good. He couldn't calm his heart, and he always felt like something was going to happen.

Walking out of the ashram, he was ready to relax with a drink. And at this time, a piece of news came through: "Steve Strange, the fourth and youngest disciple of the Ancient One, has asked to be received. ”

PS: In Marvel Comics, Mordo is white and is born into a traditional aristocracy. Marvel movies were forcibly changed to black for the sake of political correctness. The movie doesn't matter, but if the book still follows the setting of the movie, then it will weaken a lot of storytelling.

I can't write about a black man who is the hereditary aristocracy of Europe. But if it weren't for the hereditary aristocracy, there would have been no conflict of values between Mordo and the Ancient One. So everyone forget about the movie and go according to my setting.
