Chapter 124: Summoning the Soul of the Ancient One
That night, the military immediately fell back to Captain America, who was still looking for Bucky in the snowy mountains, and sent directly to the nearest military camp in the Himalayas.
Lake, Little Queen, and others were also woken up in their sleep and boarded a military troop carrier with Agent Carter.
The plane was flying in the night sky, and Carter sat down opposite Lake again, looking at Lake with a sleepy face, she said apologetically, "Another base camp of Hydra has been discovered, this should be the last one, and if we hold on any longer, our battle will be over."
When this Hydra base camp is destroyed, I'll accompany you to the show.
The Hydra's base camp is located near the Himalayas, and the Red Skull is supposed to be among them.
Sleep on the plane, our plane will be able to land tomorrow morning at one of the military's barracks closest to the Himalayas, and then an emergency operational meeting will begin.
I reckon at noon, when the soldiers from the other units that have come to support the coordinated operation have arrived, you will attack this Hydra base base.
That's right!
Because there are too many soldiers in the Hydra base camp found this time.
At that time, I will command multiple troops to assist you in the battle in the main control and operation command room of the military, and I will not be able to go to the battlefield in person this time. ”
"Don't say it, I'll sleep now, I'll wake up!" Lake closed his eyes after speaking, this trapped him, before Lake was dragged out of the bed by the soldiers of the military, and now Lake is angry.
Lake thought that tomorrow morning, he would be able to reach the military camp in the Himalayas, and he would attack the Hydra base at noon, so he should have free time in the morning.
The Himalayas are the place where the Ancient One Master practiced, and although this world is during World War II, the Ancient One Master has lived for hundreds of years and may still be a Supreme Master for thousands of years.
The Ancient One has existed on Earth in this replica world for a long time, and it stands to reason that during this World War II, the Ancient One should also exist.
Lake thought that if he had time tomorrow morning, he would try to find the Ancient One in Kama Taj first.
If you can find the best, but I don't think there is much hope, after all, at this stage, he has not reached the time point to open the hidden plot of Doctor Strange.
And now he's in a copy before Doctor Strange's origins.
Once he met the Ancient One, Lake didn't know if he would disrupt the subsequent agreement with the Ancient One.
Thinking about it, Lake fell asleep in the shaking troop carrier this time, and he was too sleepy.
When Lake woke up again, it was already early in the morning, and the troop carrier had landed in the barracks.
The metal door in the back of the plane opened, and Agent Carter led the group down to a large operations command room in the barracks.
After several people entered, they saw Captain America, who was already sitting in a chair in the back of the operation command room.
A few more female soldiers from the barracks came into the command room, brought a cup of hot milk and a large piece of bread to everyone in the combat command room, and left.
The commanders of the other units had not yet arrived, and Lake and the others had a brief breakfast in this combat command room.
Half an hour later, the generals who participated in the battle with the Hydra base camp all arrived in this command room.
Carter, an experienced U.S. general who had been involved in directing attacks on the Hydra base, began to lead the pre-operation meeting and develop the attack plan.
Carter began to explain on it, and Lake listened, and there wasn't much about their team's actions, and he fell asleep after listening for a while.
An hour later, the operational meeting ended.
The infiltration plan of Captain America and Lake and others was not announced at the meeting, and Carter chose to inform Captain America when he set off.
With four hours left to attack the Hydra base, Lake is woken up by the little queen.
He looked at the map of the military base where he was located, and found that next to this military base, it was not far from the town where he came to the 5 plot world of the Grim Reaper, where the ancient one was located.
"I want to go for a walk around the city next door." Lake stepped forward and spoke to Agent Carter alone in the command room.
Agent Carter's head was full of thoughts about the upcoming big battle at this time, how could there be such a trivial thing as Air Control Lake.
"You ask the soldiers in this barracks to drive you, and go back to the barracks half an hour early, don't come back late and can't set off in time." Agent Carter waved his hand at Lake and told him to leave.
I didn't expect to get permission to leave before the war so easily, the supreme commander is an acquaintance is easy to do, Lake thought to himself, found a soldier in the barracks who was about to drive a jeep out on errands, Lake asked the soldier to take him to the next town.
Dozens of minutes later, Lake walked into the town where the Ancient One was located, but it was much smaller than it was decades later, and the buildings inside were now low, the tallest being two stories tall.
Following the memory, Lake found the location of Kama Taj, and saw a large scarf sold on the side of the street, and Rex simply bought one to cover his face and head, revealing only his eyes.
At least that way, you won't have to look like yourself in Kama Taj anymore.
After all, this copy of the world decades later, Lake thought that he would still come here to do the Doctor Strange origin mission, although this dress is estimated to not be able to fool the ancient one.
More than ten minutes later, Lake really found the building with the small door of Kama Taj, which was the original place, but the building was much more dilapidated than a few decades later, and it was a two-story low building. Fortunately, there was a pattern of a mage formation on the door, which let Lake know that he was not wrong.
The door to the Kama Taj was closed, and Lake knocked on it, waiting for a few minutes before a teenager inside opened the door.
"Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for the Ancient One." Lake said aloud.
"Ancient Master has been inconvenient to meet guests recently, do you know each other with Ancient Master before?" The boy asked Lake, who was now covering his face and couldn't see his face clearly, only a soldier in a military uniform.
"I know, we have drunk tea together, and the Qingshen tea she brewed tastes good." Lake said in a natural tone.
"Then you come in first." The boy hesitated, then came in with Ryker.
Lake followed the boy to the old one's dojo, and the boy then pointed inside.
Lake himself walked in, and found that there were more than a dozen people wearing Taoist robes, mage robes, and various strange costumes with skull scepters and black cloaks, all standing quietly on both sides of the dojo.
Compared to them, Lake's head and face are wrapped and dressed in a military uniform doesn't look weird.
Lake looked into the middle of the innermost part of the dojo, where there was a soft collapse.
The Ancient One mage was wearing a milky white robe, and sat cross-legged on it. Gu Yi closed his eyes tightly, and behind her stood two men and a woman dressed similarly to Gu Yi, but in black robes.
The man and woman looked dressed like the disciples of the Ancient One.
In front of the ancient body with his eyes closed, there was an old monk squatting at this time, giving the ancient number one vein.
"Ancient One Mage, what's wrong?" Lake asked a middle-aged Taoist priest standing in front of him.
The middle-aged Taoist priest looked back at Lake and whispered, "The ancient one mage has been out of his body for more than ten days, and I heard that he is going to stop the invasion of Dormammu in the multiverse and defend our earth.
Judging by the masters, Dormammu had been driven away from Earth a few days earlier.
But the soul of the Ancient One Mage has not yet returned. ”
"The Ancient One Mage is so powerful, why hasn't the soul returned to its place? Is her soul lost? Lake said in surprise.
The middle-aged Taoist priest was stunned when he heard Lake's metaphor, "Almost, it is estimated that the soul is lost in the multiverse, and it may be able to come back in the next second, maybe years, decades, hundreds of years."
Now Kama Taj has sent out a plea for help, gathering strong people from all over the world to find a way to return the soul of the ancient one.
Those who can only succeed in returning the soul of the Ancient One will be allowed to enter Kama Taj's magical arsenal and select a magic item. ”
After hearing this, Lake realized that it was no wonder that this dojo gathered more than a dozen strangely dressed people, who had all come to summon spirits and wanted to recall the soul of the ancient one.
Lake stood behind and continued to watch, and the old mage who had given the Ancient No. 1 vein before shook his head, and then walked down, standing at the back of the row on the left.
Then, a female Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe walked up and began to observe the body of the ancient one mage at close range, she still had words in her mouth, and Lake saw the female Taoist priest take out a yellow talisman from her sleeve and stick it on the ancient one's head, but after a few minutes, it had no effect at all.
The female Taoist priest also walked down, and before leaving, she carefully took off the talisman she pasted on Gu Yi's head and put it back in her sleeve.
Lake watched with great interest for more than twenty minutes, and a person walked up to the ancient first mage to summon spirits, rattle bells, and chant scriptures, but there was no effect.
The line where Lake was standing walked forward, and when the middle-aged male Taoist priest in front of Lake walked in front of the ancient first mage and recited a word that he couldn't understand, the Taoist priest also shook his head and gave up and walked down.
Lake saw that there was no one in front of him, and before he knew it, it was his turn to step forward and summon the spirit of the Ancient One Mage.
Lake really wanted to be rewarded for recalling the soul of the Ancient One.
After all, the Kama Taj magic weapon storage room is quite attractive to him.
However, Lake doesn't know how to summon spirits, it stands to reason that the ancient one mage exists in the world of Doctor Strange, and this time her soul must have returned to her body safely, but she just doesn't know when she will return.
Rick stepped forward and reached out in his pocket to touch it, originally Ryker wanted to touch the curse carving knife, but he touched a small flat metal wine bottle.
This bottle is the wine that Dr. Erskine gave him in the barracks a long time ago, and Lake himself has never dared to drink it, and this last time he did the mission of Team 1, Lake carried it with him.
Lake looked at the prompt in his head: "A special strength drink made by Dr. Erskine, only God knows what is added to this wine!"
When consumed, it will have a peculiar effect, the exact effect of which is unknown.
Tips: Don't eat what Dr. Erskine gives, it's a mixed bag. ”
Seeing this effect, Lake quickly took out the wine bottle, and opened the cap of the wine bottle, and was about to pour it into the mouth of the ancient one's body, Lake was ready to try his luck, anyway, the ancient one, the supreme mage was so powerful, even if her body was poisoned, she should not be able to die.
"Wait, what are you doing, what are you holding in your hands?" A female mage who was standing behind the Ancient One before, and the disciple of the Ancient One spoke up to stop Ryker.
"This is a miracle medicine, it is very precious, and it has the potential to return the soul of the ancient one mage to its original body." Lake said calmly.
"Bring it first, let's check it out, and then we can give the Ancient One Master something to drink." The female disciple said.
Rex simply handed over the flat bottle.
The female disciple sniffed the smell, and then sniffed the male disciple next to her, which was a faint smell of wine.
The two looked at each other, and then asked an old man in the house who was not afraid of the cold to come forward and smell the flat wine bottle.
Old man Bian frowned and thought for a while, and after looking at Lake, he said aloud: "I can be sure that the medicinal materials used in this divine medicine do not have highly toxic ingredients.
But the ingredients in this miracle medicine are very messy, and the production process is very special, which is rare in my life, and I can't tell the specific effect of drinking. ”
After the old man in straw sandals finished speaking, he handed the flat wine bottle to the female disciple of the ancient one.
"I'm very sorry, can you pour out this magic medicine first, let others drink it and test it." The female disciple of the Ancient One said to Lake.
When Lake heard this, he immediately shook his head, and he didn't know the effect of drinking it.
It's easy to give this wine to the soulless Gu Yi, anyway, it's like this, and you can't drink the dead.
But if you give it to other living people for experiments, if you really drink it and get poisoned, you will probably not be able to get out of this Kama Taj dojo with your own strength.
The more than ten people in this room who came to summon Gu Yi's soul will not say anything about themselves when the time comes.
Just standing behind Gu Yi, the two disciples of Gu Yi, a man and a woman, Lei Ke felt that he couldn't beat them.
Lake immediately stepped forward, grabbed his metal wine bottle from the female Taoist priest, and said in an angry tone, "You guys are insulting to me.
I heard that the Ancient One was at war with Dormammu to defend the earth, and I admired her, so I offered my magic medicine to cure the Ancient One today.
Since you doubt the medicinal properties of my miracle medicine, it is better not to treat it.
Although the Ancient One Supreme Mage is powerful, he has no soul, only the skin of the body, how long can he support it, you can do it yourself. ”
After Lake finished speaking, he was about to leave, and the female disciple of the ancient one or two disciples was still hesitating, but the male disciple stood up.
"Wait, Venerable, I apologize to you for my sister's recklessness.
Now that the healer has identified that the herbs of this elixir are not highly toxic, please treat our master, and whether you succeed or fail, our Kama Taj mage will be grateful to you. The male disciple stepped forward and said to Lake very sincerely.
Lake thought to himself, "Hypocrisy, too hypocritical, what's the use of just being grateful, it means that you can't recruit the soul back, and you won't give any actual reward."
And just when you asked your junior sister to say that you want to find someone to test the medicine, you didn't stand up.
Now I see that I am going to leave with the magic medicine, so I stand up. ”
Rex also took the opportunity to stay, anyway, the wine given by Dr. Abraham Erskine, the effect is unknown, he didn't dare to drink it himself, and it was a waste to keep it. It's better to test it on the ancient mage, and there may be unexpected effects.
Lake nodded and said aloud, "Don't worry, I won't bother with you juniors." Master Gu Yi and I have known each other for more than 70 years. ”
After Lake finished speaking, he stepped forward and walked to the body of the ancient one, unscrewed the lid of his wine bottle, grabbed the mouth of the ancient one with one hand, and directly pried the ancient one's mouth open.
Lake lifted the small bottle and began pouring the Ancient One into the mouth of the Ancient One.
Although the soul of the ancient one is not out of the body, the body's blood, breathing, etc. are still functioning normally.
The body of the Ancient One, relying on human instincts, swallowed the wine.
