Chapter Seventy-Five: The Sanctuary of New York
Li Ji teased Peter a few times and didn't tease him again, Peter was a little stunned, and it didn't make much sense to tease. But even so, Li Ji still made Peter worry and fear for a long time, after all, Li Ji's actions were too deceptive.
In the café, Li Ji gave a thumbs up to Peter, inside the glass wall, Li Ji knocked on the window a few times when Peter was passing by, at the scene of the fire, Li Ji even wore a firefighting suit to the fire truck, Peter even wondered if he was looking at the wrong person. But whenever Peter called Li Ji, Li Ji acted as if nothing had happened, which made Peter a little annoyed.
Li Ji didn't know Peter's troubles, and he was also annoyed these days - the New York Sanctuary actually changed shifts!
Originally, the seat of the New York sanctuary was Zikcliffe. Luther, a very casual mage, has no ears to what is going on outside the window, and is only in the sanctuary, and the number of times he walks out of the sanctuary every year is pitiful. He wouldn't leave the sanctuary unless the sky fell on New York. It is precisely because of his laissez-faire attitude that the dark forces in New York have swelled dramatically.
After some investigation, the ancient one discovered that the source of Hulk's dark power was New York. Luthor was dismissed. In his place was not the familiar Doctor Strange, who had not yet entered the Ancient One, nor was he a king, but Baron Mordo, who was supposed to be in the Sanctuary of London.
"How could it be him?" Li Ji's face was not very good-looking, and he had not yet distinguished between good and evil in Baron Mordo, but he was very sure of one thing: Baron Mordo hated himself very much.
Li Ji didn't know where he offended him, anyway, he didn't have a good face for Li Ji, if you want to say that Gu Yi didn't know that he stayed in New York, Li Ji didn't believe it, and now Gu Yi sent Baron Mordo, Li Ji really didn't understand what Gu Yi meant.
"Gu Yi, this is deliberately looking for trouble for me." Li Ji's face was not very good-looking, especially when Gu Yi got Li Ji's number out of nowhere, and notified Li Ji of this matter, which made Li Ji even more puzzled.
"Is it to make me keep a low profile? But I'm a good law-abiding citizen in New York, and I think the city government should send me a certificate. Li Ji thought that he had done nothing out of the ordinary in New York, after all, he also knew that this was a place where millions of people lived, and if something happened, it would be countless deaths and injuries.
Baron Mordo took office on New Year's Day, and what is even worse is that Gu Yi even arranged for Li Ji to pick up Baron Mordo! Li Ji almost wanted to directly scold Gu Yi for being an old woman, but he still didn't scold after weighing it, after all, Gu Yi has such a strength, who knows if she will be found out if she scolds her.
……
Baron Mordo's plane slowly landed at Kennedy International Airport, Li Ji stood in the reception hall, constantly looking at his watch, every extra second he waited, it seemed to be tormented, Li Ji just wanted to pick up Baron Mordo as soon as possible, and send him to the sanctuary.
The people who took the plane gradually appeared in the passage, and Li Ji saw Baron Mordo at a glance, and immediately had the idea of turning around and leaving. Baron Mordo was dressed in a mage outfit and had a staff in his hand! It's just that the staff is wrapped in a lot of tape, and there is also a consignment sign attached to it, indicating that the staff was actually brought by plane.
It's just the task that Gu Yi explained, Li Ji has to do it if he doesn't do it, at this stage, Gu Yi is still an unrivaled big boss for Li Ji, he had to endure the discomfort, pick up Baron Mordo, and take him to the parking lot.
In the parking lot, Li Ji walked straight to a Rolls-Royce, because he wanted to pick up Baron Mordo, Li Ji's sports cars were naturally not suitable, so he asked Tony to borrow a Rolls-Royce, well, Tony said that he didn't have to pay it back.
……
Sitting in the car, Li Ji chatted with Baron Mordo very reluctantly.
"Karl, aren't you European? You should be in the London Sanctuary, why do you come to the New York Sanctuary? Li Ji asked straight to the point.
"The darkness in New York is spreading, and I am the only one who has the ability to stop the darkness from growing, so I ask the Ancient One to sit in New York." Baron Mordo spoke like a poem, sentence by sentence, which made Li Ji feel a little unhappy.
"It turned out that I applied for the transfer by myself! It is also true that although there are many Kama Taj mages, it is really rare to have a little strength, and Baron Mordo can be regarded as a short general. Although Li Ji was still not very happy, he could only accept this fact.
"Greenwich Village Centre, 177A Brick Street, this is it." Li Ji parked the Rolls-Royce in front of an old building, the door of which was still made of wood.
"It's time for you to get out of the car." Li Ji urged, for Baron Mordo, he just wanted to stay away.
"Li Ji, are you in a hurry to leave?" Baron Mordo asked.
Li Ji nodded and simply admitted his thoughts.
"I'm sorry, you can't leave tonight. After tonight, it's New Year's Day, and the sanctuary is the origin node of magic, and every New Year's Day, it radiates magic tides. It needs to be suppressed by those who sit in the sanctuary. The Ancient One Mage said that this year's magic tide power is extremely huge, and I need you to help me to suppress it. Baron Mordo took out a note, which was written in Chinese by Gu Yi.
"Li Ji, help a gang of Carl, his strength is not enough to suppress such a terrifying magic tide."
Li Ji grinned, how could Gu Yi find something to do for himself all day long, knowing that Baron Mordo could not suppress it, you should change someone to suppress it, or come over in person!
Li Ji swore that this was the last time he would obey the Ancient One's order: "What will happen if the Magic Tide Suppression fails?" ”
"The magic will spread throughout North America, and the darkness of silence will grow rapidly under the nourishment of magic." Baron Mordo said it was quite terrifying, that is, he didn't speak at all, and Li Ji couldn't understand what dumb riddle he was playing.
"Take me in." Li Ji still has a certain understanding of the sanctuary, and when he goes in by himself, and when he goes in with Baron Mordo, the scene he sees is completely different.
Baron Mordo opened the door, and it looked like an old antique shop, and when Li Ji stepped into it, it was transformed into a huge three-story building, with the living room, dining room and public library on the first floor, and the living quarters on the second floor.
"Isn't the sanctuary a dimensional space?" Li Ji followed Baron Mordo to the third floor.
The third floor is the most important area in the sanctuary, where the mages practice meditation in the quiet room, as well as the secret library, which hides some powerful magic props, but looking at Baron Mordo's appearance, it seems that he doesn't plan to let Li Ji go in and open his eyes.
"Are we just going to sit here?"
