Chapter Seventy-Five: Mutation
London Temple, United Kingdom.
To be honest, Li Jie really hadn't been to Kamataki's temple in England. He frequented the New York Temple and had visited the Hong Kong Temple once before.
Kamataki has set up three temples around the world as a joint point to maintain the stability of the earth's plane structure. It's like the connection of the so-called enchantments in the game, and it's the key to the stability of the entire Earth's plane.
Because of the mana blessing of the three major temples, the plane of the earth is no longer a place where foreign demon gods can easily invade. It's no longer a place where they can come and go whenever they want, as if they were going to a public toilet.
If you want to break through the barrier of the earth without being discovered, then you need to find an agent on the earth. For example, Harry Osborne's father, Norman Osborne, became an agent of a demon god.
Also, you have to reduce your ability to a certain level like Mephisto, so that it is possible to pass through the defense net and not be discovered by the Ancient One.
However, it is very dangerous for a demon god to take the initiative to reduce his ability to come to Earth. Because the demon gods are likely to be killed by the forces on the earth by reducing their strength like this.
If a dignified cosmic-level powerhouse dies under an ordinary sniper rifle, then not to mention how aggrieved it is.
Because such a defense network has been set up, the powerful creatures of the different planes such as gods and demons that can appear on the earth are all filed on the ancient one. Only very weak creatures appear on the earth, and the ancient one will not be able to detect it. Because the strength is too weak, it can't attract his attention at all.
For example, Sif and Thor, who are now on Earth, both left a case record on the Ancient One. Only when the ancient one agrees, can they walk on the streets of the earth in a bright light. Otherwise, the mages of Kamataki will slay any powerful individual that emerges from the Outer Plane.
Of course, not all of them were culled, and if the other party just got lost and made a mistake, the Ancient One would send these guys back to where they belonged.
The Ancient One erected a high wall for the earth, just like the U.S. government drove out illegal immigrants, and this high wall held up an umbrella for the earth.
And the key to this umbrella is the three temples. It was the first time that Lee Kit had entered the interior of the London Temple, which was not quite the same as the temples in New York and Hong Kong, except for the "National Grid of China" logo on the top of the temple.
Because it is clear that this temple has a much longer history. Large granite foundations, huge glass windows, and floors made of fine marble polished by water sandra.
And the antiques that can be seen everywhere, yes, Li Jie glanced at the candlestick on the wall, which was brass gilded. And in terms of appearance, it's been a few years. If you sell it outside, this candlestick may be worth a lot of money.
That's right, how long has New York City existed, how long has Hong Kong existed, and how long has London existed. Moreover, Greenwich is also the former home of the former Supreme Mage, Archmage Merlin, and it is not surprising that there are various high-spec hardware conditions here.
There was no trouble in entering the London Temple, because Frost was a disciple of the Ancient One after all. Although Li Jie is an outsider, many mages in London don't know him. But he had a token from the Ancient One on his hand - a mage ring.
"You want to see the Holy Sword?" Baron Mordo really didn't expect to see Strange again. Because the last time I used a more humiliating method to throw him out of myself.
In European and American cultures, if someone does this and treats themselves in such an impolite way, then the two will most likely be enemies in the future, and it will be difficult to reconcile.
It's like the drama that sometimes plays out at Lee Kit's restaurant. Two men at two tables were eating, one had spat bones onto the plate of the man at the next table while eating, and the man had not yet apologized.
The person who was vomited was annoyed, but he didn't scold. He can finish the rest of the dishes very calmly and pay the bill. When the man who spit out the bones felt that he had won a victory, and he was triumphant. The man who paid the bill directly buckled a plate of hot soup on the other party's head, and then left in style.
There isn't too much nonsense like "what are you worried about" and "what are you doing". Scolding doesn't solve the problem at all, either put up with the past or just do it. In European and American cultures, it is very straightforward to express hate.
Many students from Eastern countries have just come to Europe and the United States, and they do not understand this straightforward expression in European and American culture, especially American culture. China's modesty is not popular here, and backing down will make people think you don't care, or that you just feel like you're a bully. And then they were treated even more severely.
So when he saw Strange again, Mordo thought that the other party had come to trouble him. After all, he embarrassed the other party last time, and it was normal for Strange to come to him to fight.
But he never expected that the other party didn't come to fight with him, didn't he bring a helper? (Mordo thought that Li Jie was a rescuer invited by Strange.) )
"Why? You want to see the Sword of Victory of the Oath? It's the treasure sealed in Merlin's Catacomb. I can't let the idlers take a look at this treasure. Baron Mordo rejected Li Jie and Strange without thinking about it.
"No, wait. When did we become idlers?" Li Jie was very puzzled: "Please open your eyes, this is the closed disciple of the Ancient One Master, your youngest junior disciple." And I'm the husband of your sister (Lan). ”
Mo Du glanced at Li Jie, his lips twitched: "I have heard of you, the king said about you." ”
"Did he praise me?"
"Yes, praise you for being the most shameless guy he's ever seen in the world. Not even his magic sword could pierce. I didn't work before, but now I'm kind of convinced. When did you marry Lan?Did the king agree?!" Mordo resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
Li Jie spread his hands: "He always has to agree." We are not idle people, you should let us see the Holy Sword, see the glorious relics of King Arthur, and of course, the relics of the great Mage Merlin. We'll thank you, and this time we're not here to ask you for a secret recipe for hair growth. ”
Li Jie may have various shortcomings, but there is one advantage. That's shamelessness, and it's insisting shamelessness. No matter what the other party says, he can be shameless and grinning.
Mo Du had no choice but to be pestered by Li Jie, unless he beat him himself, otherwise he really had no way to deal with him.
In the end, Mordo agreed to Li Jie and asked the two of them to see Merlin's holy sword.
"How did you manage to laugh when you're being scolded?" Strange asked in an incredulous whisper to Li Jie on the way. It's a tough skill!
Li Jie raised his eyebrows: "Just imagine the other side as a round Alaska." ”
Strange: ............
The Sword of Oath Victory is deep in the underground palace of the London Temple, and because of the leadership of Mordo, it is not difficult for Li Jie and the two to come here.
The legendary holy sword was stuck in a giant crystal. Unlike anime film and television works, this legendary sword is not flashy at all, and can even be said to be very quaint.
It looks like a well-forged medieval two-handed sword. No magic runes, no ornate inscriptions or anything.
"This is the Holy Sword, why does it look so much like it was bought from Taobao for 500 yuan?" Li Jie had a deep question: "It doesn't have some patterns, beautiful decorations or something, just like in the movie?"
Mordo glanced at Li Jie: "Who told you that treasures must be beautiful? Heroes can also be bald, okay! And no one has used it since King Arthur." ”
Li Jie heard Mo Du say this, and suddenly felt that he said this sentence with deep meaning.
"Alright, you've seen the Holy Sword. Then let's go now. "Mordo can't wait to get rid of people.
And at that moment, a mutation occurred.
