Chapter Seventy-Six: The Ancient One Arrives

Just as Li Jie and Strange were looking at the holy sword inserted in the huge crystal stone, a mutation suddenly occurred.

The place where they are now is the dungeon of Master Merlin. In terms of location, it is more than 30 meters underground.

There are many taboos here, and the temple above actually exists as a protection for the underground palace.

It can be said that this Mage Merlin's underground palace is well preserved, and the holy sword here should be foolproof.

But there was an accident today, when Li Jie and Strange were watching the holy sword, Strange's body suddenly changed.

"What?!"

Strange's body suddenly glowed slightly, and then the light grew bigger and brighter, and became more and more obvious.

This sudden change caught both Li Jie and Baron Mordo off guard.

"What are you doing?" Baron Mordo asked loudly, "Whatever tricks you're playing, stop me now!"

"I'm not playing tricks, and I don't know what's going on. Strange was also confused, and he didn't know what was going on in his body.

The inexplicable flash of light became more and more abundant on his body, like a blazing sun and fire, illuminating the entire underground palace. And the sword of victory of the oath that was illuminated by this light also underwent a mutation.

Originally, this sword was just calmly inserted into a large blood crystal, but after being illuminated by the light, the holy sword actually began to tremble slightly, and slowly came out of the crystal stone.

"What the hell is going on!" Baron Mordo immediately mobilized his formation to suppress the holy sword that was about to break away from the crystal stone.

But the holy sword seems to have been summoned by someone, even if the magic circle in the dungeon starts to run, it can't stop the holy sword from breaking away from the control of the crystal stone little by little.

And Li Jie was thoughtful on the side, and the way he touched his chin and thought made the motorcycle baron very unhappy, because in his opinion, this matter must be a conspiracy made by Li Jie.

Originally, why did they come to see the holy sword, and if they looked at the holy sword, why did there suddenly appear such a change in an instant? Baron Mordo, as the temple mage of the London Temple, has the responsibility and obligation to protect everything here, including the guards, the relics of Archmage Merlin.

And in this entire dungeon, the most valuable relic is the sword of victory of the oath forged by Archmage Merlin for King Arthur.

This sacred sword has all kinds of magical legends, but unlike the legends on the market, the mages learn more about the story of this holy sword. And the stories that the mages know are even more bizarre than the legends about King Arthur that ordinary parents tell their children.

King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, for example, were important allies of Master Merlin. They have helped Merlin on his adventures to the Otherworld, a sword that has slain evil gods and pierced the hearts of many demons.

This sword is even more powerful than in the usual lore, and it is said that it can be restored to be able to cut through the prohibition of the multiverse.

Originally, when no one made this sword, it didn't have such great power, but after a long battle, especially after King Arthur followed Mage Merlin to many other worlds and fought against many demon gods, the power of this sword became more and more powerful.

If the sword was lost, it would be difficult for Baron Mordo to imagine what kind of punishment he would face. Even if he is the eldest disciple of the ancient master, I am afraid that he will still be unable to escape the responsibility.

The movement of the holy sword awakened many mages who were studying in Greenwich. They may not be qualified to come to the lowest level of the underground palace, but they have also returned to their posts one after another and began to promote the formations in the underground palace.

But even if the prohibitions are opened, it still can't suppress the holy sword, and the desire to get out of the crystal stone is still not suppressed.

Seeing this scene, Li Jie suddenly remembered that this holy sword was very similar to Thor's hammer in some ways. When this thought began to appear, Li Jie couldn't help but say, "Master Mordu, don't you think it's strange? This sword seems to be summoned by someone. ”

Baron Mordo hates Sister Li to death now, and if it weren't for Li Jie bringing Strange here, nothing would have happened.

"No kidding, after King Arthur's death, no one could swing it again, not even the Ancient One mage could pull it out of the crystal. It's an artifact, and it belongs only to its owner. Only those who possess King Arthur's qualifications are qualified to harness it. Baron Mordo vetoed Li Jie's statement without even thinking about it.

"I don't know what the hell you're up to with Strange right now, but I've informed the guards that none of you are allowed to run now. You have to give me an account of this. ”

Baron Mordo had already decided that it was Li Jie and Strange who were playing tricks. Maybe Trench is taking revenge on himself in this way, but not necessarily. Revenge for not giving him the secret recipe for hair growth water last time, and throwing him out of the temple in a humiliating way.

Strange couldn't control his body, he felt like he was being frozen, his body shining on the crystal stone. The longer the sword shines in this light, the more power it comes out.

"Damn, can't you turn off your bulb-like light?!" Baron Mordo looked at Strange, who was still glowing, and instantly burst into flames. He even stopped his hands urging the formation, and then slammed a punch into Strange's face.

You know, this is a heavy punch from a mage, that is too terrifying, even a berserker, it can't compare to the power of a mage's fist!

However, even though Strange was beaten and knocked unconscious, he still couldn't stop glowing, he was like an oversized light bulb, shining in the dungeon.

And Li Jie, who had heard the story that Strange told to himself, about Merlin's daughter. The story of the woman named Rome and the man named Brian.

Brian, this man is said to be the successor of King Arthur. At least that's what Rome said, she said that the man had the ability to wield the holy sword, so he wanted Strange to help him and take out the holy sword and give it to Brian.

Li Jie guessed that Roma might have done something when he first met Strange. Maybe she wasn't sure she could convince Strange to help her steal the Holy Sword or something.

Li Jie didn't know why this woman wanted this holy sword so much. He did have some reasons for Strange, but those reasons didn't hold up in Lee's opinion.

You know, she's an old monster who has lived for a thousand years, well, well, maybe not 1000 years, but there are always 800 years, at least at least the same age as the ancients.

Would she judge a person with such a retarded reason? Because the Ancient One borrowed the power of the Dark Plane, she felt that the Ancient One was a bad person? People have two sides, there are no pure good people in this world, and there are no pure bad people.

"I know it's you, Romma, come out quickly!" Li Jie shouted at the empty dungeon.

Mordo was surprised: "Who are you talking to?"

Li Jie ignored him and continued to shout: "Give you a chance, come out now, let's have a good talk, maybe there will be a turnaround." Otherwise, don't blame me for using the last resort. ”

Li Jie made a threat, but there was no response.

The corners of Li Jie's mouth twitched: "Okay, you forced me." Li Jie stretched out his left hand, and the mage ring given to him by the ancient master was on the index finger of this hand. (The Ten Rings are used using the Ten Rings gloves, not directly on the hands.) )

Li Jie did something he had never done before, and he had never done it before, even if he was in trouble and needed help.

In fact, the Mage Ring given to him by the Ancient One Master was not just a token. At the same time, it is also a life talisman for Li Jie.

When you receive a need, understand that you can use this ring to summon the Ancient One Mage at any time. When he uses this ring, it means that the situation is urgent.

This is an artifact, Li Jie doesn't plan to let this kind of thing fall into the hands of a person who doesn't know whether it's good or bad. Look at Thor's Mjolnir and Odin's Odin Scepter, these artifacts are far more powerful than nuclear weapons when they are at their full power.

It is not okay to attach such an artifact to an unknown person on Earth. This woman named Roma, Li Jie doesn't know whether she's good or bad, what if she's a big bad guy?

Just as Baron Mordo and the others were urging the formation with all their might, a powerful coercion appeared in the sky above the London Temple.

It was a breathless feeling of majesty, and Baron Mordo had felt such a coercion before. He knew very well who caused this, and he knew that the Ancient One was in London!
