Can't be wrong. Although the other party has changed into a form similar to a soul, Richard is still very sure that this is the ancient master, but not the deity. It may be that she has abandoned her physical body, leaving behind something similar to a spiritual body to wander in this world, but it should not last long before it will dissipate.

Richard just floated in the air with her, looking at the brightly lit town below. Looking down at the town and the people who come and go from this height all seem so illusory and unreal, as if they are separated from them by a world.

After a moment of silence, Richard opened his mouth to break the silence: "So, are you still ready to retire?" ”

The Ancient One nodded softly.

"I've been a Supreme Mage long enough." "It's almost time to give this burden to someone else, because it's going to happen sooner or later," she said. ”

"Strange?" Richard said, "I see him." He may be very talented, and he may be a generation of archmages in the future. But don't you think it's a little too early for him? ”

Richard really thinks that the retirement of the ancient master is a bit irresponsible. In the movie, too, Strange had just followed her to learn spells for a few months, and she flashed directly in a hurry, and handed over the Supreme Mage and the Eye of Agomoto to Strange's hands, as if this was not the throne of some dimensional guardian, but the head of the kindergarten class.

Therefore, the first mage of the ancient master has been in this position for six or seven hundred years, can't she really hold on for two more years and wait for the strange to really grow before hanging?

Richard maliciously speculated that it might be because Heaven and Hell were preparing to go to war that she decided to take early retirement. After all, if she was still sitting in the position of Supreme Mage, she would definitely not be able to ignore such a big matter, but it would be very troublesome to manage, because there were a large number of big people on either the side of heaven or hell who were not easy to mess with.

So she decided to be out of sight and out of mind, and the labor and management directly retired on the spot......

"What about Casillas?" Richard asked, "I remember those dark mages still having Dormammu's summoning ritual in their hands?" Last time you said you'd handle it? ”

"That's a task left for the next Supreme Mage." The ancient one said calmly, "A good knife is indispensable if it is to be sharpened out of the whetstone. Casillas is a must for Strange and will be important to his development. He had to learn to stop relying on me and try to solve problems on his own, or he would never be able to do it alone. ”

Richard nodded in understanding.

I know, I know, after saying so much, it's actually that you are too troublesome and want to be lazy......

But she had a point. Dr. Strange had no interest in guarding the dimension before, but now that he saw the master hanging in front of him, he seemed to be deeply shocked, and he was ready to work hard to become a human again.

From this point of view, Strange was really arranged by his own teacher clearly. Obviously, he just wanted to cure his hands, but he was inexplicably deceived into becoming a supreme mage on a thief ship, risking his life to save the world for three days and two ends without being paid, and even being overwhelmed by the high price and backlash of magic, and later won the reputation of "Dr. Kidney Deficiency......

However, did the Ancient One Mage really hang up? Richard felt that there should be none. In the movie, a lightning bolt in the sky froze before the soul of the ancient one mage dissipated, and many people on the Internet discussed that the lightning symbolized the eternal shuttle bus sent by one of the five great creation gods of the universe, which was specially to pick up the ancient one.

Since then, Gu Yi has abandoned her physical body and joined the camp of the eternal boss in the form of a spiritual body, which is commonly said to be her ascension.

Now that everyone is ready to leave, there are some questions that Richard can't help but want to take this opportunity to confirm again: "I remember you said before that you saw my future...... So do you see anything specific? Or some important moments? ”

The content he wants to ask is very simple, that is, what hard bones does he have to gnaw in the future? Will you run into a dark Zaki or something? Where and when could it be?

However, even if the person is about to hang up, Gu Yi still looks like "the secret of heaven cannot be revealed", and said slowly: "I said that there are countless possibilities in the future, and anything can happen. We should live in the present rather than in the future, because the future can always change......"

The big hand said a series of profound words that "said it is equal to not said", which completely made people feel unclear......

"There's a question I've always wanted to ask...... "Richard looked at her for a moment and said slowly, "...... When did you stop using the Eyes of Agomoto? ”

The Ancient One Mage was silent for a moment.

In fact, Richard had doubts as early as when he watched the movie. The Ancient One mage who appeared in the movie still wore the Eye of Agamotto on her chest during the Battle of New York in 12 years, and she no longer wore this artifact in the Doctor Strange movie just a few years later according to the timeline.

It stands to reason that the Eye of Agomoto is not only an artifact that greatly increases combat effectiveness, but also a symbol of the status of the Supreme Mage, and it is something that generations of mages need to risk their lives to protect. Strange has not left this thing since she became a Supreme Mage, so why didn't she use it?

Sure enough, Gu Yi sighed lightly.

"You may have figured it out." "In today's universe, magic has limits. Magic must have a price, and the more powerful the magic, the higher the cost. Casting magic is like modifying the world's source code, but doing so is also subject to the backlash of the universe itself.

With my physical condition, I can't use the Eye of Agamomy easily, which is part of the reason why I chose this time to retire. ”

After a pause, she turned to look at Richard.

"Sometimes I can't help but think that maybe the days of the Supreme Mage as a guardian are over. At least the world doesn't welcome magic right now, and it wouldn't be surprising if magic disappears from the world altogether.

But you're different. You are the most special existence I have ever seen, and it is only from you that I see the most different future. What do I see in your future, you ask? I saw the light, the purest and most shining light, enough to change the whole world. ”

Richard didn't answer.

Ancient Master said this, in fact, he still said it, which means that he didn't say it, it seems to point out a general direction, but in fact, after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't say anything, it feels like a big fool......

"Alright, my time is almost up." The Ancient One Mage spoke, his figure beginning to gradually dissipate. She gave Richard one more look, and finally said, "Also, you'd better hurry home and take a look, there is something unusual about the magic node near your manor." ”

Richard was stunned.

Someone dares to come to my house to make trouble?
