Volume 1 Urban War Clouds Section 9 The Magic of Time
Although this mysterious woman is not amazing, everyone who sees her will be attracted by her gentle and jade-like temperament, and unconsciously relax their vigilance. She appeared in such a cool way, and she was dressed very differently from ordinary people, but the people around her seemed to automatically acquiesce to her existence.
Zhou Kai, who had been silent beside him, was vigilant in his heart. His life experience is much richer than that of this group of young people, and his special brain structure also makes him calmer than ordinary people, and he is less likely to fall into a certain emotion.
It's not too late. What does that mean?
When he heard such a sentence without a beginning or an end, he broke his silence and asked, "May I ask who the master is?" ”
The black monk stepped forward and was about to speak, when the woman stopped her, and she herself opened her mouth and replied, "We are a mage from Kama Taj, and my name is the Ancient One. ”
Shangqi exclaimed, Danny Land also jumped up from the ground, and there was no more casual look on the faces of the two, so they hurriedly walked over, respectfully clasped their hands into fists, and bent down to salute.
"Shaolin disciple Shang Qi has seen the ancient master."
"Kunlun Iron Fist Danny Rand, I've seen the Supreme Mage."
The names of the Kama Taj Templar mages, how can the children of Shangqi and Danny not know!
There are legends about the mysterious genre of magic. A million years ago, the human Agamotto recognized his innate magical talent, so he studied with the ancient demon god Ao Shutu, and soon learned powerful magical powers. His strength continued to grow, even faintly surpassing his teacher, and then became a new demon god. Later, Agamotto and Otto, along with another powerful tiger god Hoggs, together formed the Trinity of Supreme Demon Gods, Emperor Weishan.
Agamotto founded the Kama Maj Sanctuary and served as the first Supreme Mage himself. The earth's magic system can be said to have been established on the basis of the magic theory of the Vishan Emperor.
Some mages have a lot of energy in their bodies because of their talent or bloodline, and they can use special racial magic. However, the vast majority of magicians do not have this ability, they can only study the magic books left by the sages, acquire and understand the knowledge and know-how in them, learn how to open the channels of other dimensions, make contracts or transactions with the demon gods of multiple dimensions, and then they can draw almost endless magical energy from the demon gods.
The Avengers protect the world from the objective catastrophes of the surface universe, while the mages exist to protect the world from multidimensional space and arcane magic. As an important part of the Earth's defense system, the Templars are a low-key but powerful organization that can be seen in the world as they come and go freely through magical portals, and quickly clear the battlefield after the battle, taking away monster wreckage and remnants.
The current Supreme Mage of Kama Taj is the Ancient One. As the guardian of the earth, she has resisted the invasion of the dark demon god many times for hundreds of years, and has intersected with most righteous organizations, including the elders of various sects and factions in China.
That's why Danny Rand and Shang-Chi immediately stepped forward to salute her when they heard her name.
"It turns out that the guardian of Kunlun is also here. Speaking of you Kunlun, 300 years ago, Master Lei Gong helped me resist the Demon King of the Underworld, Dormammu, time flies so fast, I must go to Kunlun Mountain to visit my old friends if I have the opportunity. ”
Master Gu Yi smiled and nodded, signaling that the two of them did not need to be polite, and when she saw the juniors of Shaolin and Kunlun present, she introduced her two apprentices to them. The black man was his apprentice and right-hand man, Mordo, and the white man was Stephen Strange, an American who had only studied spells with her this year.
"Why did the Ancient One Master come to Qiantang, do you already know about what happened here?" Danny asked curiously. Legend has it that Kama Taj is located somewhere in Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, at the foot of the Himalayas, and it's so far away from the city of Qiantang that no one would make such a big turn to come here without something important.
"That's right, I'm here for this big fight." Gu Yi turned to his breath and smiled, "Master Zhengzu of Shaolin wrote to me to inform me about the mutants and asked me to come and help you, but the climate in the Himalayas has been relatively harsh recently, and the Feihe letter arrived at me several days late, so that now the war has been delayed." ”
Shangqi was moved when he heard it, and it turned out that the master had already found reinforcements for them.
Just as they were talking, the white monk was already squatting beside Liu Zheng to check his injuries.
Li Qianhuan, who was guarding Liu Zheng every step of the way, had expectations again after hearing that the person who came seemed to be a big man, she stared intently at Strange's movements, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Strange, may I ask, he... Is he still saved? ”
"Doctor, it's Dr. Strange." Strange spoke a broken ancient Chinese Chinese and corrected Li Qianhuan's words, "I was an expert in neurosurgery before I went to Kama Taj. The young man's injuries were very severe, with five fatal injuries that could have caused death alone, and it has to be said that his vitality was very tenacious. If these injuries were placed on an ordinary person, I am afraid that three lives would be lost. Hum... In the past, this patient came to our hospital and couldn't see me at all, not even the assistant level. ”
"Doctor...."
Seeing that the little girl looked like she was about to cry, Strange no longer scared her, and comforted: "Don't worry about the child, people can always find hope from despair and create miracles." I did my miracle at Kama Taj. As he spoke, he stretched out his two hands to Li Qianhuan's eyes and shook them, those hands had slender and slender fingers and broad palms, which should have been very beautiful before, but now they are covered with large and small scars, which look hideous and distorted.
"You have to believe that miracles are always everywhere, and that's the charm of life."
After Strange finished speaking, he stood up, walked over to the ancient one and whispered a few words, the ancient one nodded slightly, untied the necklace and handed it to him, and instructed, "Please use it carefully, Master Strange, stop as soon as he recovers from his injuries." Always remember that we should defend the laws of nature and not disturb it. ”
Strange was still emphasizing his doctor's identity, and he didn't stop putting the necklace around his neck, so that the eye-shaped metal pendant at the bottom of the necklace hung naturally on his chest. He motioned for the people around Liu Zheng to disperse, and then folded his hands on his chest to form a complex magic mark, and as the movements of his hands accelerated, the ornaments on the metal pendant rotated on their own, slowly forming an eye pattern.
As his last action was completed, the necklace suddenly shot out a green light, and in front of his palm, a green circular magic circle appeared, and soon his wrists, arms, and elbows appeared one after another.
He adjusted his position, letting the green light from the necklace shine on Liu Zheng's body, and his palm drove the magic array to slowly rotate in a counterclockwise direction.
A miracle happened!
The wounds on Liu Zheng's body were disappearing one by one at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and Li Qianhuan covered his mouth, unable to believe what was happening in front of him. Zhou Kai and Ding Luo, they were also shocked by this scene and were speechless.
Strange carefully observed Liu Zheng's physical condition, and immediately collected the magic array after seeing that he was well recovered, and the green light on the necklace disappeared, and the metal pendant returned to its original appearance.
Fu Shenzhou is also a surgeon, he checked Liu Zheng's physical condition, and found that not only his external injuries have basically healed, but even his internal injuries have recovered seventy or eighty percent, and he can't help but sigh that this necklace is really a treasure.
After hearing that Liu Zheng's injuries had recovered and were out of danger, everyone cheered, and Li Qianhuan cried with joy, lying on Liu Zheng and refusing to get up, because the sadness of the destruction of the city was diluted a lot. It's just that although Liu Zheng's physiology has recovered and stabilized, after all, the consumption is too large, so he has been in a coma, and he may need to recuperate for a few days before he wakes up.
The Ancient One Master put the necklace back on and said to Zhou Kai: "Being able to save most of the cities in the hands of Magneto is already a victory worthy of a special mention in terms of your existing combat strength, please don't blame yourself too much." ”
She turned back to the two apprentices and said, "Alright, Master Mordo, Master Strange, let's get down to business." ”
The two eyebrows of the black mage Mo Du were always wrinkled together, and at this time, seeing that the ancient one mage still decided to do this, he dissuaded again: "Just now, because we want to save people, we have already exploited the loophole of the law of time, master." We can't break the laws of nature anymore, or the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Gu Yi waved his hand and said to Mordo: "Saving a city is a great merit, my apprentice. I'm sure any Supreme Mage would make the same decision as I did, and the Eye of Agamotto is meaningless if it can't be used for the benefit of humanity. Don't persuade anymore, I'll take care of the turbulence in space, don't worry. ”
Mordo opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything more, and together with Strange, gathered all the people present. The Ancient One mage moved his hands together, and the green light on the necklace lit up again, and the green magic circle that appeared in front of his palm was much larger than Strange's. Two of her apprentices summoned magical shields and protected them all.
The magic array on Gu Yi's hand spun counterclockwise, and the earth began to shake violently, and a violent storm formed around them, and the ruins all over the ground swirled wildly in the air, smashing the magic shield "ding" and constantly causing ripples. Seeing this, Fu Shenzhou also used his ability, and the blood-colored hemispherical energy shield firmly protected everyone.
The people under the energy shield seemed to be watching a movie backwards at this time. The shattered walls, the blown up equipment, and the collapsed houses were all slowly restored to their original state, leaving not a single crack left.
This chain can turn back the clock! Zhou Kai and Fu Shenzhou exchanged glances with each other, if the Supreme Mage could even control time, then who else in this world was her opponent? Such a miraculous organization, the civil sect knows about it, but the National Security Bureau, which represents the country, knows nothing about it, which is a work mistake that must be avoided. In the future, the Special Task Force must strengthen ties with this mysterious mage organization, establish a friendly partnership, and if possible, try to draw them into its own camp.
In about ten minutes, the storm gradually subsided, and the world outside the energy shield had completely returned to the way it was before they came to the industrial area to capture mutants, and there was no trace of destruction, as if this tragic battle had never happened at all.
Miracles, absolute miracles! Everyone was shocked to the extreme, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at the ancient one.
"I adjusted the time status of Qiantang City to this morning, and you have to solve the rest of the work yourself."
In this way, the entire city was not damaged by half of the damage, and all casualties were avoided. This is a great blessing, and everyone laughs and shouts, and they celebrate with their crowns. On behalf of the National Security Bureau and the military, Zhou Kai, Fu Shenzhou, and Ding Luo sincerely thanked the three masters.
Master Gu Yi exchanged a few words with everyone, and was about to turn around and leave, but saw Li Qianhuan rushing through the crowd and running over, kneeling in front of her with a "poof". Gu Yi was a little surprised, thinking that she was still worried about Liu Zheng, so she comforted her gently: "Child, your friend is fine, as long as he rests for a while, he will wake up by himself." ”
Li Qianhuan's face was covered with blood and tears, and the ecstasy just now had faded from her face, and now only emptiness and gloom remained. She tried several times, and finally opened her mouth tremblingly, and begged with difficulty: "Supreme Mage, please help me..."
Seeing her expression, the others also felt that something was wrong and gathered around. The Ancient One Master half-squatted in front of Li Qianhuan and asked softly, "Do you need my help with anything?" ”
"Please... Send me back in time too! Li Qianhuan's forehead slammed on the ground, and blood immediately flowed out.
