Chapter 504: Pilgrimage?
Lu Xiao and Fury came forward to persuade Stark one after another, if this still can't dispel Stark's revenge, there should be no one in this world who can still convince him.
Everything that had to be done was done, Yongzhen opened the portal and sent the group back to the Moscow airport, where the large Kun transport plane arranged by Fury had been waiting for a long time.
"Whew~"
Stark pinched his eyebrows with his hand and was silent for a while: "...... You guys go first, and let me calm down alone for a while. ”
"To......
Rogers was also about to make a persuasion, but Sam and Pietro intervened at the same time to stop him.
"Hey~"
Rogers sighed as he was stopped by the eyes of several of his companions, and turned to get into the back seat of the transport plane.
Watching the Kun transport plane take off, Tony's eyes flickered slightly.
"Old man, what would you say to me if you were still here?"
……
No one knows what kind of ideological activity Stark went through while left alone in Moscow.
When Rogers and the others landed at the Avengers headquarters in New York, Stark had already returned before them, and the Avengers headquarters, which had been deserted for a while, finally gained some popularity.
Lu Xiao also stood outside the headquarters gate with Black Widow and Hawkeye and waved to them.
When the United Nations headquarters held a hearing on Nick Fury's proposal for the reorganization of the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D., the Avengers were all present, and Lu Xiao had returned to Kama Taj to prepare for Strange's introductory trials.
Strange has amazing talent, but his egotistical and arrogant personality is a big problem.
Even though he has suffered a lot of blows recently and his temper has been somewhat restrained, as the so-called easy nature of the country is difficult to change, Strange will still unconsciously show his arrogant attitude in his gestures.
This mentality was obviously not conducive to Strange concentrating on his secret art cultivation, and Lu Xiao planned to find a way to dispel his arrogance first.
Compared to the bustling metropolis of New York, Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, resembles a rural village.
Strange was uncomfortable with the country's completely different customs from the United States, and Nepal's low English language was a headache for him.
Lu Xiao and Yongzhen stood on the roof of the junction built by Kama Taj at the foot of the mountain, looking out at the densely populated city from afar.
Strange, who doesn't speak the language, wanders around the city like a headless fly, and the expensive watch he wears on his left hand has aroused the interest of some local thugs.
Yongzhen also captured the scene through Focus, and turned his head sideways to Lu Xiao and asked, "Do you need me to save him?" ”
Lu Xiao shook his head: "It's not convenient for you to come forward in this matter...... Wanda. ”
"Huh?"
Wanda was wandering around curiously in the reception area, and when she heard Lu Xiao's call straight into her soul, she immediately jumped onto the roof.
"Looking for me?"
Lu Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed to Strange, who was fighting with thugs in an alley: "Help me save him and bring him here." ”
"No problem."
Wanda participated in Panburn's plan to seduce Strange throughout the whole process, and although she still doesn't know why, she already knows how much Lu Xiao values this person.
Enveloping her body with the chaos magic that had become very tame, Wanda turned into a red cloud that ordinary people could not notice and floated towards the city, rushing to Strange's side in a matter of seconds.
It was said to be a brawl, but in fact, Strange, who could not exert his strength with both hands, was only beaten unilaterally.
Several local thugs easily knocked him to the ground, taking away one of his most important watches.
"Bang~"
Wanda, who fell from the sky, broke away from the envelopment of chaos magic, and her slender right leg slapped hard in the face of one of the thugs.
Fighting ordinary people doesn't require spells at all, and Wanda uses Professor Kama Taj's self-defense skills to easily solve this group of gangsters.
Clapping her hands, Wanda crouched down to pick up the watch that had fallen to the ground and handed it to Strange.
"Are you alright?"
"Ahem~ It's okay."
Strange stood up with trembling hands on the ground and took the shattered watch from Wanda.
With a hint of sadness in his eyes, Strange stroked the cracked dial with his hand.
In order to raise money for treatment, Strange sold almost all of his assets.
Famous cars, famous watches, and even his luxury apartment in New York have been mortgaged, and the watch with special meaning in his hand is the last he left.
The watch was not purchased by Strange himself, but was a birthday gift from his ex-girlfriend Christine Palmer.
"Are you looking for Kama Taj?"
Strange was stunned when he heard this, and after putting away his watch, he hurriedly asked, "Yes, do you know where it is?" ”
Wanda nodded, "Come with me." ”
……
Lu Xiao has always wondered why Gu Yi wanted to set up a connection point in the city of Kathmandu.
According to Hamill, the reception is not needed more than a few times a year.
In the minds of most locals, this cramped reception hut is the body of Kama Taj.
Strange was disappointed when he first saw the rumored gate of the holy land of Kama Taj.
"That's it?"
Wanda tilted her head to look at Strange, and the other party's appearance of not being afraid of heaven and earth made her miss a little, like she had just been stimulated by the potential of Hydra.
As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless.
The more she learned about the nature of the world, the stronger the awe she felt in Wanda's heart, and she no longer looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
"As your senior, I must remind you first."
Strange shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, "Please speak." ”
Wanda solemnly admonished: "Before entering this gate, forget the common sense that you think you know. ”
Strange couldn't understand the meaning of Wanda's words for a while, and just said perfunctorily: "Okay, please continue to lead the way." ”
The purpose of the lodge is not to receive guests, but strictly speaking, it is only a fixed teleportation station.
After witnessing Wanda save Strange, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen cross the portal and return to Kama Taj.
Approaching the hut, Strange resisted his doubts and continued to follow Wanda.
The cabin looked no different from the other buildings, and for a moment, Strange, whose brain was spinning, thought he had fallen into a trap.
"Watch your step."
Wanda's reminder had just arrived, and before Strange could react, the surrounding atmosphere and temperature suddenly changed.
The calm and peaceful atmosphere calmed the impetuous Strange in a rare way, and the sudden rise in temperature made him let go of his hands wrapped in his coat.
"It's ......"
Strange looked at the scenery in disbelief, the terrain around the hut had changed significantly, and from the window you could see the majestic snow-capped mountains.
Upon stepping out of the cabin, the expansive Kama Mahal Plaza was presented to Strange.
The square is surrounded by a large number of locally-style temples, and a group of apprentices are practicing martial arts in the square under the guidance of an old man in a wide robe.
"Uh~"
Strange deliberately disguised his inner shock with a cynical attitude: "I thought Kama Taj was the place where magic is taught, am I mistaken?" ”
Wanda replied without looking back: "Remember what I reminded you just now?" What you're seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg of Kama Taj. ”
"Squeak~"
Pushing open the door to the living room, Wanda reached out and motioned for Strange to enter.
"Please, the Supreme Mage is already waiting for you."
