Chapter Ninety-Three: The London Temple

Greenwich, London, England, is one of London's oldest suburbs. A large number of buildings with a history of more than 100 years www.biquge.info have been erected in this area. Large blocks of granite and marble were synonymous with solidity and luxury in the construction industry hundreds of years ago.

Over the past 100 years, many of the buildings have retained their original design. The unique beauty that was shaped by the Great Industrial Age and the Enlightenment at the same time.

Like the New York Temple, the Wizard's Temple in London is a design that is largely hidden in the city.

From the outside, you can't tell that this has anything to do with the mage, except that you can see a sign similar to the State Grid of China on the glass window on the roof (which is actually the emblem of the Supreme Mage).

The building is open to the public as a private museum, and only a small number of distinguished members are allowed to enter. The average person is not qualified to open the door to this building.

If you pass by this building, you will indeed be deceived by the window displays. Because of the large number of weapons from the Age of Discovery, clothing and even torture instruments and armor can be seen through glass windows.

These things are not conjured up by mages with spells, but they are real things. It's just that they look like ordinary artifacts in a display case, but if you really think so, and take it lightly, you're in big trouble.

Because these are real magic items, and quite a few are even cursed items. They were just sealed here in a special form by the mages. With these magical objects that are both real and fantastic, a real museum has been created.

When the fake is true, it is also false, and when it is true, it is also true. It's really hard to tell the difference between the real and the fake.

This London temple has a special status among the three major mage temples. Because in addition to being a mage temple himself, he is also the burial place of another supreme mage under this temple.

The medieval Archmage Merlin was born here and buried here after his death. Before he died, he strengthened a powerful spell for the land. This gave the London Temple an innate advantage over the other two Temples.

It is also very important to note that the Greenwich Temple is on the prime meridian, and this is where Greenwich Mean Time is established!

Underneath the temple is a large dungeon, as it is not only the place where Master Merlin's coffin rests, but also his last museum.

Merlin left all the spells he had learned, all the spells he had mastered, all his heart here. Because of Merlin's spell, even the ancient one could not easily take away these books and books.

Unless he was going to completely destroy the entire Merlin Tomb. Obviously, it is impossible for the Ancient One to do such an immoral thing.

So there are actually two different factions within the Supreme Mage, one is the Kamataiki faction based on the current Supreme Mage's dogma. The other is the Greenwich faction, which is based on the dogma of the medieval Supreme Mage, Master Merlin.

In the dogma taught to his disciples by the ancient one, it is the duty of the mages to protect the earth from the intrusion of demon gods and to maintain the super-stable state of the earth. The construction of the Three Temples on Earth began after the accession of the Ancient One 500 years ago.

The three sanctuaries choke the three most important nodes on the earth, and the ancient one, who holds the eye of Agamottos, has condensed the chain of time from the past into three giant blue chains across the earth, protecting the fragile and volatile future.

One of the things that people often say is to seize the present, or to seize the present. But in the true definition, neither in science nor in the occult, there is never such a precise definition of the word "now."

In the long river of time, there is only the past and the future, and there is never such a concept as the present. Because no matter how fast people think, they can't move faster than time.

When you try to grasp the "now" in the last second, or even when you just start thinking about it, your so-called "now" has become a thing of the past. And the past of this moment determines the future of this moment.

The future is shaped by the past, and there is no future without the past. But the future is fragile and changeable, and when the laws of the past are even deleted, what will happen to the whole future? Is every turning point in history accidental? Is it inevitable? Or is it deliberately done by someone with a heart?

The supreme mage, the ruler of the ancient stone of time, the powerhouse of the universe level, is also an admirable existence among the supreme mages throughout the ages. But what he was carrying was also unprecedentedly heavy.

He lived by the creed that with great power comes great obligation. He held humanity alone against the threat of the mystical side.

But this creed of his is not shared by all mages. For example, the Greenwich factions that are deeply influenced by the thoughts of Master Merlin and have different ideas.

The ideas put forward by Master Merlin are more liberal. He believes that mages can form friendships with ordinary people, and that mages can help their friends fight against enemies on the mystical side if they want to.

But most importantly, Mage Merlin has always advocated that mages should not be trapped on Earth. He advocated that mages should go to more heterotopes, to unspeakable areas. Being free and unrestrained is the nature of a mage.

Whether it's the pursuit of power or refining potions, mages should not be bound by simple mortal shackles, which will affect the performance of mages' abilities.

Mage Merlin was undoubtedly a liberal, as evidenced by the magic traditions he recorded. Too much entourage, too much unrestrained. That's not to say it's bad, but the path of Master Merlin isn't for everyone.

Merlin's life has been spent trading with countless demons, even in exchange for dark powers, but he can always keep his heart. The method of learning spells he advocated was probably something that only he could master.

According to the famous saying of the ancient Chinese monk Daoji monk: Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in his heart. If the world learns from me, it will be like a madman.

Mage Merlin's way of spells also has this meaning. Although the Ancient One was tolerant of the Greenwich faction, he was also very guarded. Because the Ancient One didn't see any seeds from the current Greenwich faction mages that could match the Mages of Merlin.

And Baron Mordo, one of the most gifted of all his disciples, was none other than the Templar mage who was sent to the Greenwich Templar by the Ancient One, responsible for guarding the temple and supervising the mages of the Greenwich faction.

But this disciple, who had always been obedient before, broke out into a quarrel with the ancient one today, for the first time in history. Even in order to prevent the content of the quarrel from spreading, the ancient one had to erect a mirror wall to isolate the inside and outside of Modu's residence.

Mordo's dwelling was on the top floor of the temple and was a large and comfortable place. Wool carpets from Persia are laid on mirrored natural marble floors.

The back of the seat is made entirely of hand-stitched velvet from the southeast coast of China. The sturdy and precious black walnut furniture is topped with goblets made of natural crystal and crucibles made of gold and silver alloy.

The Ancient One sat in mid-air, not sitting on the expensive and comfortable furniture. Mordo was pacing back and forth on the marble floor: "Mage, what's going on, something must have happened, right!

Mordo's tone sounded a little anxious, even a hint of impatience. He looked at the Ancient One in search of answers, just as he had received answers to his spell questions countless times.

"What do you want to say? Mordo. Gu Yi asked lightly, as if he didn't know what Mordo was talking about.

"Isn't that what happened in hell some kind of sign?" Mordo's tone was not a question, but an affirmation: "The earth dragon is dead, you should know, my teacher." Barth, the demon who came back from hell, told me. ”

"Even powerful gods and demons have fallen one day, not to mention that the Earth Dragon is not a powerful demon god in hell, although he is a hell lord, he is almost the weakest one. His fall is not unusual. "It's not uncommon for the ancients to say the fall of a demon god.

"This is not a normal teacher!Bart said, the day the Earth Dragon fell, the dark clouds of hell were thick. This has never happened before. Then the dragon of the earth suddenly fell from the black clouds, as if the heavens and the earth had collapsed! There was also a rain of blood in the territory that originally belonged to him, it was the blood of the demon god!" Mordo said loudly, his hands clenched so hard that even his knuckles turned white.

"This is not a normal posture of the fall of a demon god, there is no vigorous battle, and the earth dragon is not in the age of death. I know something unusual is happening right now. Mo Du's eyes were extremely serious, he looked at Gu Yi and shook his head and said.

"Something very unusual, teacher I know you can see things that we can't see. He should know what he's doing, he can't afford to pay the cause and effect of hell! But he still invaded hell. He must have sensed something, too. I just want to find an answer now. Mordo looked at the Ancient One wistfully.

Gu Yi glanced at Mo Du and slowly closed his eyes: "Nothing happened Mo Du." ”

The answer Gu Yi said was extremely disappointing to Mordo: "Teacher, you are the most sought after mage ever, I do not desire to be able to gain the same power as you one day, but I only want to know some things." ”

Mordo's voice carried a kind of eagerness, and the ancient one frowned: "That's why you let Rooney go to Hell? You used the magic of the London Temple to send a mage to Hell! Do you know why I didn't give them permission to explore the Alien Plane indiscriminately? Unlike Mage Merlin, not everyone can become Merlin!"

"At least give it a try, teacher. How can you know if there will be another Merlin Rise without trying!"

"Experiment with the precious lives of mages?"

"On the path of truth, it is bearable to pay the price of one's life. Every mage here has made a good price. ”

Gu Yi shook his head: "I don't agree with this statement, blind exploration without a plan is just self-defeating. A mage should be guided by wisdom and not by recklessness. ”

Mordo suddenly raised his voice: "This is because the earth is now a super-stable space, and those summoning spells and different space spells of Mage Merlin are useless. Otherwise, there is no need for such a dangerous person to go directly to the other plane to explore!"

When Gu Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly looked at Mo Du very sharply, and Mo Du immediately understood that he had just said the wrong thing: "I'm sorry teacher, I lost my words." ”

Because the establishment of the superstable space was personally instructed by the ancient one, and he made great efforts. The Ancient One did isolate a significant portion of the Xenoplane invasions, but it also abolished more than half of the Greenwich faction spells for this purpose. After all, many of Mage Merlin's spells are related to the Alien Plane.

It's hard to say whether the mages of the Greenwich faction have complaints in their hearts.

The two of Gu Yi's master and apprentice suddenly fell into a kind of embarrassment, and finally Mo Du spoke first: "Teacher, if there is nothing else, I will go out to work first." ”

Gu Yi nodded, and Mordo withdrew from his abode and walked towards the underground palace of the temple. A memorial service for the deceased Master Rooney is taking place there.

Gu Yi looked at Mordo's abode and let out a slight sigh. Although the power of the Supreme Mage Ancient One is strong enough, this does not mean that he is immortal. The Ancient One already clearly felt that he was starting to get old.

He has lived for more than five hundred years, and he needs a successor. Neither Lan nor Mordo can become the successor of the Supreme Mage. He needs someone who can stand up to his will.

"Maybe it's time for me to find the last disciple?" Guyi muttered to himself.
