Chapter 122: World Stand-in, Platinum Star
The black sedan slowly pulled into the centre of Greenwich Village and stopped in front of a three-storey building.
"General, it's here."
The young driver, dressed in a crisp military uniform, respectfully opened the car door.
Luke, who was leaning back in the back seat, nodded and stepped down from inside.
His eyes fell to the door number, and then he looked up at the round window at the top.
"This is it."
Sure he wasn't looking for the wrong place, a smile tugged at the corner of Luke's mouth,
The house that catches your eye is the Sanctuary of New York.
Kama Taj has built three planes around the world, and this is one of them.
Of the many mages on the North American continent, there is no one who is unaware of the existence of the sanctuary.
"Don't hide from me anymore this time?"
Luke's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself.
A month after his arrival in this world, he tried to find the Sanctuary of New York.
At that time, the plug-in was not activated for a long time, and when I learned that I was on the Marvel set, I was full of insecurity.
As a time-traveler, a stowaway in a sense of time and space.
Luke took the risk and approached the secret sanctuary in New York's West Village.
Thinking that maybe he was talented, he was favored by the Supreme Master at a glance and accepted as a disciple.
From then on, start your life path to become a legendary mage.
Regrettably, Luke ran around Brick Street in Greenwich Village for more than a month, but could not find the house with the house number 117A.
Obviously, the Supreme Mage didn't take a fancy to him.
This cruel fact also made Luke depressed for a while.
The New York Sanctuary is a magical building, and its location does not change.
But whether you can find it or not depends on fate.
For example, the future Doctor Strange Strange.
It's just that after walking around Kathmandu, he was brought into Kama Taj by Mado, a disciple of the Supreme Master, and reached the pinnacle of life.
And Luke stayed through thick and thin, insisting on checking in on Brick Street every day, but he got nothing.
His unusual behavior even made Rogers and Bucky suspicious.
Think that the friend ended his life as a single dog behind his back and threw himself into the warm and charming arms of a young girl.
"Ancient One Mage, already waiting inside."
The moment Luke stepped out of the car, the closed doors of the New York Sanctuary suddenly opened.
The space is like a folded and interlaced mirror, presenting a mysterious and complex scene.
A dark-skinned, vintage robe mage stepped out with a peaceful smile.
"Mr. Major General, please come in."
His attitude was quite friendly, and he bowed slightly to invite.
Luke bowed his head slightly, and without the slightest hesitation, stepped straight through the door.
After the last all-night talk with the Supreme Master, the two reached a preliminary consensus on cooperation.
The only thing that is lacking is probably the-stirring stick of Kang the Conqueror, who has not yet shown his head.
"Mr. Major General, please don't mind. The Ancient One said that he did not want outsiders to enter the sanctuary. ”
Luke stood in the gateway, following the black mage's line of sight.
The young driver, who wanted to keep up, seemed to be stuck in a time loop.
Keep repeating the action of closing the door and stepping onto the steps.
It was as if someone had intercepted a tributary for a while and plunged him into it.
"I understand."
Luke pursed his lips, the Supreme Mage was worthy of being a master of playing with time.
The scene presented to the young driver is much more complicated than a pause in time.
Extract the established facts that have happened, and intercept them as tributaries of time.
As long as it's nested in, it's very free.
If you change to the Heavenly Father level or below, you may not even be able to notice.
Luke wasn't surprised.
The first Supreme Mage, Agomodha, possessed the Time Stone early on, and sealed it in a special artifact, casting countless heavy spells as protection and using it as a magic weapon.
The Ancient One, who later took over the position, almost never left this supreme magic weapon called the "Eye of Agamotha", and often played with it.
Manipulating the time branch, making time pauses, are pediatric for them.
"Even if the Supreme Mage has a world stand-in, if he wants to deal with my Strength Speed Double A, plus the Platinum Star of Demon Immunity, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
Luke silently played with the meme as he stepped through the gate and surveyed the interior of the sanctuary.
On the ground floor is the living room and the communal library.
Several mages in vintage robes hurried past with a few heavy books in their hands.
They either looked down in thought, or frowned in silence.
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
A few sturdy figures with gray faces walked out.
They were all dressed in armor and carried heavy weapons such as axes and flails.
"That's what it is...... Mage? ”
Luke asked, tilting his head.
"The Hell dimension hasn't been very quiet lately. They are all members of the Holy Knights, specializing in exterminating some of the inferior demons that have infiltrated the main universe. ”
The black mage explained.
"Kama Taj has always had a partnership with secular hermitages, as well as religious institutions."
Luke gave a look of surprise.
To put it more bluntly, it is to use the Holy Knights and the Church as tools.
Follow the black mage up to the second floor, where you will find the living quarters with many guest rooms.
It is worth mentioning that on the walls hang teleportation windows that lead to all parts of the world.
They take on the appearance of a dense forest, a mountain peak, and a sea, and there are shining rotating mechanisms next to them.
Continue up.
The third floor is the most important area of the sanctuary.
It is used to place and place magic props, as well as to conduct meditation.
Luke followed the black mage and entered here.
It stands to reason that he is not qualified to set foot as an outsider.
It's just that the ancient one has always been informal, in stark contrast to the old-fashioned and strict Agomala.
Along the way, Luke saw many familiar artifacts.
The most conspicuous thing is the magic cloak, which is displayed in a glass case.
Doctor Strange's signature gear!
"They're all here waiting for their destined owners."
In a new look, the ancient mage in a white robe was standing in front of a round window.
"Then I don't look like I'm the one they're waiting for."
Luke said with some regret.
He also wants to drop off some magic items.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s invasion group, now only Superman and Captain America.
Maybe he can make Howard a mage, upgrade the route to imitate the unborn Doom Divine Monarch, and directly cultivate demons.
Mage!
Output + Meat Shield!
Attract the aid of hatred!
A team under the dungeon is it!
"Mr. Major General, the civilization war between Atlantis and the land world is on the verge of breaking out, shouldn't you stay on the front line?"
Ancient One Mage smiled faintly.
"As you can see, the Sanctuary of New York can't help much, the Hell dimension has launched an invasion, and we must focus on maintaining the nodes of space."
Luke shook his head, he hadn't thought about letting the Supreme Mage intervene to stop this crisis.
