Chapter 217: Ancient One Mage

After leaving the Sky Garden, Shen He was still a little dazed.

Semiramis lingered in his mind.

Such a stunner is simply challenging a man's moral bottom line.

But......

Shen He is still self-aware, if he really smokes his heart just now, the 100% consequence will be kicked away.

Semiramis has always been dismissive of men who are obsessed with her beauty, and the last one who has been addicted has been simply poisoned.

On the contrary, the more she sits still, the more she has a provocative **.

Shen He also knew very well that the simple desire of Semiramis to help him was the same as Joan of Arc's original gentleness, but it was her unique way of getting close to the lord she liked as a servant.

It would be too stupid and naΓ―ve to really think that the empress was in love with herself based on this.

Heroic spirits are beings like this that transcend common sense.

Shen He sighed for a moment, then gathered his thoughts and transferred the picture of Semiramis in his mind to other places.

For example, let Joan of Arc put on stockings tonight.

......

Because he confirmed Shen He's true wishes, Semiramis also changed his style slightly.

There are not many aspects to change, it is just that absolute status is no longer pursued.

But the basic control is still in hand.

This flattered many people, originally when they came to ask for cooperation, they were greeted with an unusually domineering attitude, but now it faintly revealed the rumors that they could cooperate.

Judging from the internal gossip leaked from the virtual reality company, this is the result of Shen He's talk to the empress.

It seems that Shen He still has a very high authority in the interior of Chaldea.

Stark Industries was the first company to sign the agreement.

Sky Garden completely handed over the city's energy construction to Stark Industries, but asked Tony to provide a copy of Jarvis's original source code, a new artificial intelligence that had not yet been activated, and after Hughby calculated that there was no hidden backdoor, he replaced Jarvis as the new management core of the virtual reality company.

Tony is still very satisfied with this kind of cooperation.

Originally, Stark Industries' main strategic direction in the future was clean energy, and the signing of this cooperation intention with Sky Garden made them famous.

And controlling the energy can also ensure his right to speak in the new system of Sky Garden.

On this day, he came to Shen He's office again.

"Tony, you may be smarter than me, but not everyone can be a master." Shen He bragged triumphantly, "Don't talk about Semiramis, if it's you, I'm afraid even a cute girl like Violet can't be touched, no, I should say that you can't do anything with money." ”

"Do you have the ability to try Bibi next time?" Tony's face was a little dark.

As a playboy, he was actually despised by Shen He in this regard, and dared to say that he couldn't do it.

"In short, if you want to develop your company well, I'm afraid you will have to deal with the empress in the future." Shen He said twice, "Don't come to me again when the time comes." ”

"I've always left the company's business to Pepper." Tony's face didn't blush, his heart didn't beat.

Since Shen He can suppress Semiramis, then he has nothing to worry about.

Shen He just made a few jokes, and then started to get down to business.

"What I told you last time, I guess that since I want to see you, I will go as soon as possible." Shen He was talking about going to see Gu Yi.

"It's up to you to decide this." Tony shook his head, "However, I don't believe that in this modern society, there are really people who can completely ignore the power of capital, unless they are really a group of immortals who do not eat the fireworks of the world." ”

"Let's talk about it when we meet." Shen He didn't have the confidence of Tony, he thought for a while, "Determine the purpose first, let them send a mage to guide you, this is the best outcome, the worst case scenario, it may lead to conflict, but don't worry too much." ”

Although the ancient one is strong, it is only a legend.

Shen He didn't have a clear impression of her strength, so there was no need to be presumptuous.

Strength is always the biggest factor in negotiations.

"Anyway, this time, I'll listen to you." Tony said in a humble manner, "When are we leaving?" ”

"I'll leave tomorrow." Shen He exhaled, "Take Thor." ”

"I don't understand, why do you have to take that big guy with you?" Tony didn't quite understand, "Is his status as a prince of Asgard useful in front of the mages of Earth?" ”

"Nope." Shen He shook his head, "Whether it is the Supreme Mage, or the Asgard represented by Thor, they are very arrogant, and if they don't really see each other's strength, they won't take each other seriously, but with Thor, in case of conflict, there is also a possibility of buffer, to be honest, I don't want to stand on the opposite side of the Supreme Mage." ”

The Supreme Mage involves a multi-dimensional plane, which is one of the blank areas in Shen He's understanding of the Marvel world.

Even the Marvel plot of the original world is mostly vague in this regard.

Not to mention the ancient gods, dark creatures involved.

"Buffer may ......" Tony understood what Shen He meant.

When a third party is present, both sides of the conversation tend to be more restrained.

Considering this, he also had a deeper understanding of the importance that Shen He attached to these mages.

The next day, Thor arrives at the virtual reality company as promised.

With his little girlfriend, of course.

"Looks like you really like Earth." Shen He looked at them with a smile, "I heard that you also went to Huaxia?" ”

"Of course, there are some spectacular views there." Thor had a silly smile on his face, "Jane loves it there, we also bought a villa on the edge of the West Lake, God of God is on it, if it weren't for the rush to go back and repair the Rainbow Bridge, I really wish I could live here for a few hundred years." ”

When Jane next to her heard this, the smile on her face suddenly dimmed.

Her boyfriend is a "god" who has lived for 1,500 years, and the more she gets along, the more she can feel the unbridgeable gap between them.

"There are still many opportunities in the future, so let's go first."

Shen He just glanced at this girl and knew that they wouldn't last long.

There are too few girls in the world who can say that their feelings are so deep that they will not swerve until death.

That's why he likes Joan of Arc.

However, of course, he will not stupidly pour cold water on this couple who are in love, and they will not listen to anything in this case.

"No problem." Thor hugged his girlfriend, "Let's go now, I never knew there were mages on Earth." ”

"Wait." Shen He looked at the two of them, "You...... Want to take Jane along? ”

"Huh?" Thor looked at Shen He and then at Tony, "You didn't say you couldn't before....... I mean, didn't you guys say that Kama Taj is in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal? Jane has always wanted to visit the Himalayas. ”

β€œ......”

Shen He opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.

He could see that Thor didn't take it seriously at all, and he thought it was a trip.

This is also normal, no matter how it changes, a person who is used to arrogance will not always tense his nerves, not to mention that he has just won the war and is still enjoying a good relationship.

Several people set off directly on the fighter plane of the virtual reality company.

The place where the Ancient One Master is located is called Kama Taj.

After Shen He watched the movie "Doctor Strange" before, he deliberately checked the treatment, originally in the comics, this place is a small village chief in the Himalayas, and it is also the place where Gu Yi was born, after she became the Supreme Mage, she turned this village chief into a secret place, and in this movie, Kama Taj is the residence of Gu Yi, a place where monks and mages practice.

The people came to Kathmandu first.

The city has a very Indian feel, with religious overtones everywhere and most of the bungalows are low.

It has to be said that living in a modern metropolis for a long time, occasionally coming to such a city, on the contrary, there is a feeling of comfort, at most three storey buildings can liberate people from the airtight high-rise buildings.

Thor and Jane really thought they were on this trip.

They wander the streets, wandering through the small shops, tasting the food, buying all kinds of small handmade art, and sprinkling dog food like all tourists.

Shen He didn't care, because he also had Joan of Arc, and they were all in a similar situation, and they had a lot of fun.

It's Tony standing alone next to these two couples, like a fool.

"River, it's almost noon." In the end, Tony couldn't help but burst out, "I'm very busy, and I haven't rested for several days in order to take this day off." ”

"There's no need to rush." Shen He raised his neck, "Look, someone has already found me." ”

In the direction he signaled, a man in a black corset robe, with his hood completely covering his cheeks, walked straight towards them.

This costume is somewhat similar to the Chaldean uniform, but not as elaborate.

"Mr. Shen." Under the hood was a black man's face, "Supreme Mage asked me to entertain you, my name is Mordo." ”

"Hello, Master Mordo." Shen He nodded slightly.

He knew that since he was waiting for someone, Gu Yi would inevitably notice it, so he had been waiting for the other party's response.

Whether to ignore it, or to touch, or to welcome.

There is a lot to be seen in this simple gesture, after all, the Chaldeans are now famous.

"It's an interesting place." Thor also led Jane this way, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

"Of course, respected son of Odin." Mordo bowed to Thor, "I'm happy to be a guide for you, although Kathmandu is not very economically developed, it has a long cultural history, and there are many interesting things. ”

"Then ......," Thor was visibly pleased with the other party's respectful attitude.

"Thor." Tony interrupted him directly with some dissatisfaction, "We're not here to play, maybe you can go by yourself with your little girlfriend?" ”

He's had enough of continuing to eat dog food, and he's not even known here, and not many people are paying attention to him.

Basically, it's all about Joan of Arc.

"Okay, Tony was right." Shen He looked at Mo Du in front of him and said directly, "We want to meet with the Supreme Mage. ”

"Please come with me." Mordo was clearly prepared, and turned to lead the way.

Shen He could see that although he was respectful in his mouth, it was just basic etiquette, and in the face of himself, the famous Chaldean lord, the other party did not have the slightest restraint and curiosity.

Ignorance or overconfidence?

Shen He's face was expressionless, just holding Joan of Arc and following him.

Everyone came to an inconspicuous small wooden door, and Shen He, who had already known this place from the movie, was not too surprised, and took the lead in pushing open the door and walking in.

The decoration inside is resplendent in this city, faintly in the style of ancient China, and even curling Zen incense.

As soon as the ancient one in the yellow mage robe was declared, he stood in the hall.

Considered a delicate appearance, Cheng Liang's bald head makes it difficult to identify her age, her eyes are deep, and the cuffs rolled up to her elbows make her look quite energetic, just like welcoming friends, looking at them with a smile on her face.

Such a meeting was honestly unexpected by Shen He.

Because it's too ordinary.

This made him not know what to say for a moment, and went up to shake hands like an ordinary person? Or a cold self-introduction? Or a respectful greeting?

Fortunately, Gu Yi spoke first.

But instead of facing Shen He, he put his eyes on Joan of Arc's body and let out a heartfelt exclamation.

"If you don't see it with your own eyes, you really can't believe it, you have been freed from the shackles of **, your will will will live forever, and this body is the Holy Spirit, which is extremely sacred."

"This is the blessing of the Lord." Joan of Arc smiled in response.

But she sensed a very uncomfortable aura from the other party's body, as if mixed with an evil will.

This reminded Shen He a little in her mind.

"Ancient One Mage." Shen He directly called the other party's name, "I believe you already know the purpose of our trip." ”

"Yes." Gu Yi then put his eyes on Shen He's body, "It's better to sit down and have a cup of tea, I think we have plenty of time to talk slowly." ”

β€œ...... Good. Shen He looked around.

It's just a hall, with no tea tables and no seats.

But Gu Yi just stretched out his hands and gently pushed.

The crack-like existence was suddenly covered in the air, and the space began to distort, and the walls, ceilings, and floors all rolled like kaleidoscopes, but in an instant, the originally small hall expanded more than tenfold, and the tea table and even hot tea suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"It's ...... Space magic? Thor took two steps, looking surprised and forced to keep his composure, "Space magic is one of the hardest spells to learn, and I only learned the concept when I was a kid and gave up completely. ”

Before he came, he thought that there were only a few mages here who knew a little illusion at most.

So it's a little embarrassing now, especially when his girlfriend is still yelling.

"Please."

Gu Yi stretched out his hand to signal, his expression was flat, and with Jane's exclamation, it was unfathomable.

Shen He's eyebrows jumped slightly.

He suddenly had a comical feeling, as if this Supreme Mage had a unique accomplishment in pretending to be forced.

I feel like I'm going to meet an opponent.
