The spatial door opened by the Ancient One leads to the Kama Taj Treasure Vault.

As a rule, Mystics who complete the Beginner's Tutorial will receive a weapon from the Treasure Vault that best suits them.

Of course, receiving the magic weapon granted by Kama Taj does not mean that this magic weapon will be owned by Lu Xiao from now on.

The ownership of the artifact still belongs to Kama Taj, and Lu Xiao only has the right to use it temporarily.

When Gu Yi sent Lu Xiao into the treasure house, he said something very mysterious: "Remember, you are not the only one who chooses the magic weapon, the magic weapon also chooses you. ”

"When the most suitable artifact for you appears, your soul will give you a hint."

Gu Yi did not follow Lu Xiao to act together, but stood leisurely at the entrance of the treasure house, fanning the folding fan and closing his eyes to recuperate.

The dazzling array of magic weapons made Lu Xiao's choice difficult, and he simply followed the guidance of the ancient one, and walked around the treasure house of Nuoda at will, waiting for the magic weapon that suited him to appear.

"Huh?"

When he walked to a corner, Lu Xiao's spirit suddenly burst into excitement, and he looked in the direction of induction, and what appeared in front of him was a pair of brown leather boots that seemed to be ordinary.

When he stretched out his right hand and touched the leather boots, the warmth from the depths of his soul made Lu Xiao sure that it was the most suitable magic weapon for him at the moment.

When Lu Xiao appeared in front of Gu Yi with leather boots in his hand, a trace of surprise flashed in the Supreme Mage's eyes.

"Hermes Boots, I didn't expect it to pick you, interesting."

When Lu Xiao heard the name of these boots, the corners of his eyebrows twitched, "It's Hermes again, am I so destined for him?" ’

Hermes of the two worlds is not really connected.

Hermes in the world of Assassin's Creed was a licking dog who spends his days circling Persephone, the queen of the underworld.

And Hermes in the Marvel Universe has never been mentioned, and even the leather boots that bear his name are not necessarily what Hermes used.

Gu Yi ignored Lu Xiao's strange expression, tapped his palm with a folding fan and said, "The ability of this magic weapon is up to you to study slowly, I can only say...... It's strong. ”

……

When Lu Xiao came to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was May 2013, and he had planned to stay at Kama Taj until the end of the year to continue his studies.

According to Kama Taj's rules, in order to obtain the Eye of Agamotto, one must first inherit the position of the Supreme Mage, or at least be recognized as the next successor by the current Supreme Mage...... More often than not, it is.

Lu Xiao's first world mission goal is close at hand but out of reach, he only hopes to stay in Kama Taj to brush up on the favor of the ancient one, show her his potential, and obtain the inheritance of the Eye of Agamotto in an orthodox way.

But this process is destined to be very long and difficult, but fortunately, Lu Xiao holds the Staff of Hermes, and his lifespan is no longer a problem for him.

Lu Xiao wanted to stay in Kama Taj to continue to brush up on his goodwill, but as a newcomer to the mystic master who had achieved initial succession, the ancient one gave him three test tasks one after another after Lu Xiao obtained the Boots of Hermes.

Three missions are related to Dormammu, two of which are to participate in the defense of the New York and London Temples, and repel Dormammu's Shadow Demon attacks head-on.

The last one is relatively cumbersome.

During the last battle for the London Temple, a behaving Shadow Demon gave up attacking the Temple, and took advantage of the fact that his companions attracted the attention of the Mystics and quietly hid in the city of London.

Lu Xiao has not yet been officially assigned to any of the three major temples, and as a mobile force for the Kama Taj headquarters, the Ancient One asked him, who had not yet left London, to find out this strange Shadow Demon and destroy it.

London is the capital of the United Kingdom and one of the most important financial centers in the world.

Agomoto built the temple here, and I wonder if he used the Time Stone to see the future development of the city in advance.

The city of London is huge, with a total population of nearly 10 million, and it can be difficult to find a single shadow demon hiding in this modern steel jungle.

The clueless blind search was just a waste of time, Lu Xiao could only temporarily stay in the London Temple, go out every day to search the area near the temple, and read newspapers to check if there were any anomalies in various districts of London.

From the perspective of ordinary people, London is as busy as ever, and the fast-paced life of the city makes it impossible for people to stop walking, and only at night will they indulge in bars and other nightclubs.

During the months of Kama Taj's practice, Lu Xiao gradually became accustomed to this isolated holy place, and her restless mood of eagerness to complete the task gradually calmed down under the influence of Kama Taj's peaceful atmosphere.

At night, Lu Xiao sat alone on the top of the London Temple, watching the lights of the city from the perspective of a spectator, listening to the noise and scolding from the nearby football field.

"Lu." A middle-aged mystic with a somewhat gloomy expression opened the portal and came to the roof: "Did you find it?" ”

Lu Xiao broke away from the state of transcendence, and turned his head to look at the other party: "Not for the time being, that Shadow Demon is very cautious, and there has been no movement since it hid in the city." ”

What appeared in front of Lu Xiao's eyes was Casillas, who had recently been appointed by the Ancient One as the leader of the occultists of the London Temple, and it was also his duty to guard the security of the local area.

Casillas sat next to Lu Xiao and looked with him at the city of London, which was still lit up at night.

"What the hell is that Shadow Demon trying to do? Could it be that Dormammu gave him some special task? ”

Lu Xiao shrugged: "I don't know, we don't need to know the thoughts of the Shadow Demon and Dormammu, exploring the darkness is originally a dangerous behavior." ”

"When you're staring into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you."

Lu Xiao's meaningful words made Casillas's eyes flicker, and he was silent for a few seconds before he asked again, "Lu, do you have a family?" ”

"Of course they are, but they're not in this world."

Lu Xiao's truth obviously made Casillasi misunderstand, and he sighed sympathetically and said: "Me too, I have not been able to forget my wife and children all these years. ”

"Unfortunately, no matter how much I learn the secret arts, I will never be able to satisfy my desire to see them again."

Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed: "Casillas, your thoughts are dangerous. ”

"The dead are gone, and those who survive should carry on with their expectations, and don't let the dead become chains to your feet, even if they are your family."

Lu Xiao had heard Gu Yi and Wang mention that Casillas had been studying spells related to psychics, and the purpose was naturally self-evident.

However, it had been more than 10 years since his wife and children died, and even the Ancient One could not recall their souls, not to mention that this kind of spell involving the souls of the dead was itself a taboo among taboos.

Recently, the master-apprentice quarrels between Casillas and the Ancient One have become more and more frequent, and in order to calm Casillas, the Ancient One appointed him as the guardian mage of the London Temple.

Lu Xiao's words obviously did not enter Casillas's heart, he just nodded perfunctorily: "Don't worry, I will study within the scope of Kama Taj rules, this is already the only remaining belief in my life." ”

Seeing Casillas leave, Lu Xiao sighed silently, "Poor people must have something to hate, and vice versa, Casillas, I hope you can keep the final bottom line, I believe that the ancient one will never want to see the scene of cannibalism in the same door." ’

……

Early the next morning, Lu Xiao finally got an uncertain piece of information while walking the streets.

Near the docklands in East London, a four-legged humanoid was seen running out of sight of the crowd into an abandoned warehouse.

After submitting the relevant report to Casillas, Lu Xiao put on his hood and turned on the breath block, and used the basic acceleration ability of the Boots of Hermes to jump forward on the roof of the building in London.

The most basic abilities of the Hermes Boots are to increase the user's running speed and jumping power, which is very simple and does not seem to be special compared to the Jumping Boots.

However, the Hermes Boots can accelerate infinitely within the range that the user's physique can bear, and with Lu Xiao's physical fitness, it is impossible to determine where its maximum upper limit is.

With all his strength activating the Hermes Boots, Lu Xiao's speed will reach a terrifying level, like a fleeting streamer in the eyes of people with insufficient dynamic vision.

When Lu Xiao came to the warehouse where the target was suspected of hiding, a strange sense of disobedience made him frown.

"Anomalous fluctuations in spatial overlap? Is this ......?"
