When Lu Xiao woke up from his slumber, the scene in front of him had changed a lot from before he passed out.

It is a quaint bungalow with a very Asian architectural style in the décor and structure.

Before Lu Xiao's consciousness was completely awake, the familiar Chinese suddenly sounded from the side of the bed where he was lying.

"I've never seen someone like you rushing into the Himalayas without any strategy, not carrying any food or survival equipment, only a lot of strange weapons on you, you don't want to go into the mountains to hunt for treasure, right?"

"Let me first state that there are no snow monsters and no treasures in the mountains, and that is just folklore."

"Ahem!"

Lu Xiao coughed and turned his head, and what caught his eyes was a braised egg...... Ahem, a bald black man.

"Negro?!"

Lu Xiao rubbed her eyes in disbelief: "I haven't woken up yet?" Or are you hallucinating? Why do blacks speak Chinese so fluently? ”

The bald black man's originally peaceful mood fluctuated visibly, and the corners of his eyebrows rose slightly, obviously Lu Xiao's questioning made him a little unhappy.

"Friend, are you racist? Do you think black people can't learn Chinese? ”

"No, no, no." Lu Xiao hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm just curious, I don't have malicious intent, if I offend you, I apologize." ”

Seeing the sincere expression on Lu Xiao's face, the black man's emotions calmed down again.

"Well, I accept your apology."

Lu Xiao's physique has long surpassed the scope of normal people, and a short period of sleep has allowed him to recover to seventy-seven or eighty-eight, but there are still some traces of frostbite on his body.

Even the villagers who lived in the foothills of the Himalayas all year round could not get out of the snowstorm on foot, let alone recover so quickly, and this abnormal situation attracted a special person who happened to be practicing nearby, that is, the black man in front of Lu Xiao's eyes.

"My name is Daniel, and I'm a cultivator." The black man introduced himself in fluent Chinese: "You should be Chinese, right?" Why enter the Himalayas so unsparingly? I don't think you look like you're tired of life. ”

"Hmmm......"

Lu Xiao scratched his head, as if he had first entered the world of Assassin's Creed, and began to open his eyes and say nonsense: "It's a challenge to yourself, it turns out that I survived, didn't I?" ”

Daniel complained speechlessly: "Yes, you are lucky to survive, at the cost of multiple severe frostbite all over your body, if not properly treated, it may even affect your future life." ”

Lu Xiao was not too worried about this, sat up from the bed with Daniel's support, and wrapped the Shroud of Eden spread out on the side to the frostbite on the upper arm of his left hand.

Under Daniel's wide-eyed gaze in surprise, the shroud glowed faintly golden, and Lu Xiao's numb arm quickly regained consciousness.

"You ......"

Daniel looked at Lu Xiao with a little vigilance: "Sure enough, you are not an ordinary person. ”

Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, "I never said I was an ordinary person from the beginning, right?" Mage Dude. ”

Daniel's expression fluctuated slightly, and Lu Xiao smiled secretly in his heart, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

Normally, nestled near the Himalayas in Asia, it is almost impossible for blacks to exist.

Not to mention that this black man can also speak fluent Chinese, Lu Xiao immediately suspected that Daniel was a mage from Kama Taj.

Silently watching as Lu Xiao used the shroud to heal all the frostbite and falls on his body, Daniel's eyes became stern.

"Again, who are you? Why come to the Himalayas? ”

Lu Xiaoshiran, who had healed his injuries, put on a full set of equipment and put on the winter coat that Altaïr had prepared for him over his armor.

"I'm here to find Kama Taj."

Lu Xiao said his true purpose, but his words were still mixed with some nonsense: "According to the records I found through ancient books, the holy place of the mage Kama Taj is located in the Himalayas, and I wandered at the foot of the mountain to find the entrance to the holy land. ”

"It's a pity that I was unlucky, I happened to encounter a snowstorm in the mountains, and I couldn't withdraw in time, and I would like to thank you and the villagers for saving me."

Since it was determined that Lu Xiao was the person from "this side of the world", Daniel no longer hid it, and asked tentatively, "Why are you looking for Kama Taj?" Revenge? Kick the gym? ”

Lu Xiao spread her hands speechlessly: "How is it possible, if I really have negative thoughts, do you think I will tell you like this?" ”

"I'm here to learn the arts, to learn the way of the mage, the way of guardianship."

Daniel's eyes flickered as he stared into Lu Xiao's eyes, trying to see the wavering and dodging.

After experiencing the experience of the world of Assassin's Creed, Lu Xiao's will has long become very tenacious, and Daniel's threatening gaze did not let him show the slightest flaw.

After a few minutes, Daniel said in an uncertain tone, "I'm just an ordinary mage of Kama Taj and I don't have the right to decide whether you go or stay. ”

"Now that you know the existence of Kama Taj and the Mystic World, according to the rules set by the Supreme Mage, you have the right to enter the Holy Land to receive her trials."

……

Normally, those who want to join Kama Taj must undergo the rigorous trials of the Supreme Mage, the Ancient One.

Like Strange, he joined directly without even testing, just because the Ancient One had already learned of his existence through the ability of the Time Stone, and it was also confirmed that Strange would become an important pillar of Kama Taj in the future, the new Supreme Mage.

This can be glimpsed from the conversation between Hulk and the Ancient One in Avengers 4, and the Ancient One at the time of the Battle of New York knew about Strange's existence, and bluntly said that Hulk came a few years earlier.

Strange belongs to the backdoor household, and his special treatment cannot be regarded as conventional.

As a sacred place that guards the earth's mystical world, Kama Taj has always been open to those who aspire to join the mystic camp.

Whether it is an ordinary person who accidentally entered Kama Taj, or a special person who has long known about the existence of the secret art world, as long as they pass the trial of the Ancient One, they can become a member of the Kama Taj Secret Art Guardian.

As for the content of the trial, according to Daniel's description, it is completely based on the mood of the ancient one, some people's trials are difficult, and some people are very simple.

Lu Xiao did not agree with Daniel's idea.

In his opinion, the Ancient One, who possessed the Time Stone, should have seen the past and future of those who came to participate in the trial.

If it is not suitable, it will be dissuaded by difficult trials, and those who hope to become a member of Kama Taj will only give some simple tests symbolically.

Under Daniel's leadership, Lu Xiao followed the Himalayan road all the way into the depths of the mountains.

The entrance to Kama Taj is not located in the downtown area like in the movies, and the room that Strange finds is just one of the waypoints, or receptions, to enter Kama Taj.

The real Kama Taj is just like Lu Xiao guessed, located in the Himalayas, the entire complex is covered by special spells, and ordinary people will never find the true location of Kama Taj unless they have a special chance.

Although it was very strange why Daniel didn't use the hanging ring to directly open the spatial passage to Kama Taj, Lu Xiao couldn't blow up and ask about this matter, so he could only silently follow Daniel and walk to Kama Taj.

Walking to a snow-soaked mountain flat, Daniel's hands waved in mysterious gestures, and golden chakras appeared on his wrists.

"Open!"

Daniel's hands seemed to grasp the heavy doorknob and slowly moved to the sides.

A mountain road with a completely different scenery from the surroundings gradually appeared in front of Lu Xiao's eyes, the quaint oriental ancient buildings are located at the far end of the mountain road, and the clouds and mist make the secret space in front of Lu Xiao's eyes look quite fairy.

The warm air blowing in from inside the trail contrasts with the freezing temperatures of the Himalayas.

A middle-aged bald woman in a yellow monk's robe stood at the entrance of the mountain road with a smile, holding a folding fan in her hand and slowly fanning it, watching Daniel send Lu Xiao to her.

Lu Xiao followed Daniel's example, clasped his hands into fists and saluted the woman respectfully, and he recognized the identity of the other party at a glance.
