Chapter Seventy-Seven: Fighting the Front
It is estimated that coming to London, this is definitely something that no one expected. That wasn't what Roma had planned, he just wanted to plant a seed in Strange's heart, maybe he would be curious, and then check out the Holy Sword.
As long as he looked at the holy sword, the spell he had planted in his heart would take effect. Because the London Temple has the function of isolation, even if Brian is the owner of the Holy Sword, it still cannot directly penetrate the isolation of the London Temple and take out the Sword of Victory of the Oath.
There has to be a closer touch, for example, through a medium. And Strange is the right person.
Compared to other methods, using Strange to get up close and personal with the Holy Sword is a safer method.
Because Strange has only been a beginner for a short time, he has not become an old fritter like other mages. He still has a lot of things to use, and he also has a lot of flaws in his heart.
Just like what Roma said to him before, it made his heart begin to waver. If you change to another mage, I'm afraid it won't have such a good effect.
Although Roma still has contacts with some of the Mages of the Greenwich faction, most of them are not qualified to enter the dungeon where the Holy Sword is hidden.
To enter the dungeon, you must have Mordo's permission. How could Mordo allow ordinary mages to enter the Sacred Sword's dungeon at will? That is, because Li Jie was the husband of his junior sister (?) and Strange was his junior brother, so Mordo would approve the two of them to observe the Holy Sword.
If you change to an ordinary Greenwich mage, you won't be able to walk half a step into the dungeon.
The original plan was good and everything went well. In the end, Strange couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and went to the dungeon to see the holy sword.
And the magic hidden in Strange also began to explode, and through Strange as a medium, Roma spread Brian's breath.
As Roma said, Brian is indeed the master of the Holy Sword. The artifact has a spirit, and this is no joke, just like Thor's hammer was able to cross the Nine Realms and find its master, Thor.
When there is no isolation from the London Temple, the Sword of Victory of the Oath feels the breath of Brian, and it will automatically find its own master.
Originally, it was supposed to break through various obstacles and fly into Brian's hands now, and then Rome would leave here with Brian immediately.
But just as the Holy Sword was about to break away, the Ancient One Mage suddenly arrived. His power came, covering the sky and the sun, and almost all the creatures in London had already felt that their bodies had suddenly become a little heavy, although they quickly disappeared, making people feel that it was a little delusional, but those who knew it already knew that the ancient mage was coming.
Not far from the London Temple, Roma, who was preparing to welcome the arrival of the Holy Sword, had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Let's go!" Rome wanted to pull Brian and get out of here, because she knew that the arrival of the Ancient One Mage would definitely find her, and he was not a half-mage like Mordo.
The Ancient One only needs to explore it briefly to be able to discover itself. And he may not be able to run away from the ancient mage.
Rome never imagined that Li Jie actually had a ring on his hand that directly communicated with the ancient mage. You know, the Ancient One Mage is very busy, and he can't put all his energy on Earth.
All the different planes in the Zhou Tian world need him to monitor them all the time, so as not to have any powerful things, when he is not supervised, suddenly kill the earth and stir up blood.
Human energy is limited, even the Supreme Mage. So Rome calculated correctly, the Ancient One Mage couldn't keep an eye on the earth all the time, so she had such a bold plan as stealing the Holy Sword.
But now this plan was interrupted by Li Jie, and everything did not go according to Roma's plan.
Even if you want to run, I'm afraid it's too late. When Roma had just opened a door to space, ready to take Brian and flee to the other world. The door to the space that had just been summoned suddenly closed, but fortunately the two of them did not step in, otherwise, it was very likely that they would be lost in the spatial turbulence, and even half of their bodies would be here and half of their bodies there.
The voice of the ancient mage "Roma" sounded in Roma's ears.
"It's been a long time, aren't you going to catch up with my old friend?" said the Ancient One mage volleyed in front of Roma and Brian.
Ancient One Mage looked at Rome with a smile, and at the same time he looked at Brian beside Rome, and Ancient One said, "Steal the Holy Sword, and you are going to hand over the artifact forged by Master Merlin to such an ordinary young man?"
"He's not an ordinary young man, he's King Arthur!" replied Roma as he faced the Ancient One, not trembling like the others, but rather with a heartfelt voice.
"Modern King Arthur?" the Ancient One mage looked Brian up and down noncommittally.
"Do you know what it means to use the Holy Sword? It's not for nothing that I've been disagreeing with you taking the Holy Sword for so many years. "The Ancient One Mage didn't use his skills against the two swordsmen as soon as he came up.
On the contrary, it seems that he and Roma know each other very well, like friends who have not seen each other in years.
"Why? I think it's more because of your fear, you're cowardly to the ancient one, you're not the same you were 500 years ago. Just like the Monkey King, who was crushed under the Five Fingers Mountain for 500 years and lost his mana, Sun Wukong will only defeat the Buddha by fighting, and he will never become the Monkey King again. ”
Roma is obviously a pure-blooded Britishman, but he knows the story of Monkey King and Monkey King very well.
"You're all scared to go back, or you're all leaving your own way, whether it's you, or that guy hiding in China. yes, I know that long-haired guy is staying somewhere in China. You're holding back, you're not even thinking about fighting! I need the Holy Sword! Brian and I can fight, do what you can't!"
"I've found it now, and if he's not coming, he can use the holy sword, but you're not willing to give it to me. So I was able to take it back, secretly. It belongs to me, it was made by my father!"
Rome and the Ancient One talked, but what they said was incomprehensible to outsiders. What is the purpose of all this?
"It's not like Roma, it's different. The Holy Sword never belonged to anyone alone, it was only loyal to its master. The Ancient One Master looked at Rome and said.
"Now its owner is standing here, Brian!" Roma pointed to Brian.
Koichi glanced at Brian, "Do you know what it means to use the Holy Sword?
"It's better to die than to wait for death!" Roma snapped up.
"No, at least not for now, there is no need to be so impatient, because I have met a man, an extraordinary person, who may be our hope. The Ancient One looked in the direction of the London Temple, meaningfully.
The movement of the holy sword in the London Temple has been suppressed, and Li Jie is still waiting for the ancient mage to come.
