651, butterfly
In the face of the ancient one's pleading, Goofy didn't seem to have a reason to refuse.
We are all friends, and we have fought side by side, lived and died together.
Cultivating Strange is of great significance, and he will become an important guardian to protect the magical dimension of the earth from invasion in the future.
Coupled with the fact that the ancient mage was dying, the weight of this request was too heavy.
"I don't think there's a way to refuse, right?" Goofy spread his hands, "You've planned all of this with your life, and I can't let Strange's cultivation plan be interrupted in my hands." ”
"Thank you, Goofy." The Ancient One mage smiled with relief, then glanced at his chest and reached out to remove a necklace.
"Give."
The pendant of the necklace is made of gold and mystical metal, and its texture is the same as that of the skylight of the New York Temple, which looks like a basketball pattern, but is more intricate.
And inside this pendant, a green gem shimmered with scorching brilliance.
This pendant is called the "Eye of Agomoto" and is the most important magic weapon of the Supreme Mage.
The gem inside is one of the six Infinity Stones, the Time Stone.
Goofy stared intently at the treasure and asked in a low voice, "This is because I promised to instruct Strange and gave it to me...... Remuneration? ”
Hearing this, the Ancient One Mage instantly blackened.
“……”
"This is a relic I left for Strange, and I was worried about being snatched by Casillas when I was in Kama Taj, so I didn't give it to him for the time being......"
"Ah...... ...... like this" Goofy nodded awkwardly, this misunderstanding was a bit big.
However, the Ancient One Master immediately added, "As for your reward, I haven't thought about it......"
"I know you're studying the Dark Book right now, and reading through it will make you a great accomplishment in the occult, but since it's all about dark magic, long-term study may have some negative effects on your spirit......"
"In this case, the Book of the Emperor will help you somewhat, and the white magic it says will be just right to neutralize the influence you have on the dark arts......"
"Since I asked you to guide Strange, then of course you should also learn about the content of the Book of Visand, the Book of Vishandi was robbed of one by Casillas, and there are two left, and these two books will be regarded as your payment, okay?"
Gao Fei pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Sounds pretty good." ”
"That's good." The Ancient One mage smiled, "Alright, Strange is here, it's time for me to say my final goodbyes to him." ”
Speaking of which, the Ancient One mage traveled from the dimension of hell to the real world, and happened to meet Strange who had come to Cannessee for the last time using space magic.
Since Strange had never been to Goofy's house, he only knew that Goofy lived in Carnasee, so the other end of the aperture was just at a crossroads not far from Goofy's house, and did not lead exactly to Goofy's home.
The streets of Canassee are quiet in the middle of the night, and the dim streetlights stretch Strange's embarrassed figure.
He held two heavy "Books of Emperor Weishan" in his hands, and looked around cautiously.
Even though this was already Goofy's territory, he was still afraid that Casillas would catch up.
"Casillas shouldn't have that much guts, right?"
"Goofy lives not far away......"
"But where is his house? I should have called and asked Christine......"
At this moment, a faint light appeared, and the soul of the ancient mage appeared in front of Strange, so frightened that Strange almost threw away the Book of Emperor Weishan in his hand.
"Oh! Oh, God! ”
"Uh...... Mage, it turned out to be you, it scared me to death, I thought Casillas really caught up......"
Gu Yi smiled lightly: "He didn't dare to come here, he didn't have the guts." ”
Strange glanced at the ancient one worriedly and asked, "Then mage, when will you be resurrected?" ”
"Resurrection?" The Ancient One mage frowned, "You may have misunderstood, I won't be resurrected, Strange, I'm dead." ”
"But you're a Supreme Mage, you're a superhero...... You can't just get a bento, can you? What's more, you were killed by Casillas's kind of goods, the kind of guy who is not qualified to be the number one villain in the movie! This plot is not right, this is not a regular routine at all! ”
"And you're just beginning to teach me about the occult, I've just learned to use the hanging rings and recite a few simple incantations like cats and tigers......"
"If you die, how can I become a mage?"
"You're going to be resurrected, aren't you? Anyway, there are countless developed black technologies, alien technologies, and magic ...... Goofy, who is also the master of the Hell dimension, is in charge of the human soul...... He has a way to resurrect you, right? ”
Strange said hysterically, he really couldn't accept that the ancient one would just get the bento like this.
The Ancient One smiled apologetically, holding out his index finger to cover his lips, motioning for Strange to stop talking.
"Shh......h Stephen, my death is irreversible, it's happened. ”
"I've actually gained an extra long lifespan, which is already against the laws of nature......"
"My only regret is that I can't continue to guide you, Stephen. But Goofy will help me with this task. ”
"He will continue to guide you in the occult, or it would be more appropriate for the two of you to learn and progress together, Stephen, and this is the end of our fate......"
"It's only a brief overlap in my life, but I'm glad to meet you."
Speaking of which, the soul of the Ancient One mage gradually became transparent.
"Mage!"
Strange reached out in despair, trying to keep the Ancient One, but when his hand touched the Ancient One's soul, he couldn't grasp anything.
On the contrary, the soul of the Ancient One suddenly turned into countless butterflies at this moment, scattering and flying around, and the dim street lamps cast messy shadows for these butterflies, and the Ancient One mage finally disappeared......
Strange's gaze followed the butterflies into the distance, his emotions mixed and depressed.
He thought that this parting of life and death should be very sad, at least he should shed a few tears for his master, but the time he spent with Gu Yi was too short, so short that he didn't have time to cultivate a relationship.
Therefore, Strange was surprised to find that he did not have much sadness for the death of the ancient one, he just felt pity, just felt lost.
Watching the butterfly fly away, Strange's gaze finally stopped at the end of the butterfly's disappearance.
There was a villa with the lights on, and at the door of the villa stood a man.
The man looked in Strange's direction and beckoned to him.
Strange was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded, hugged the two heavy books of the Book of Emperor Weishan, and walked quickly towards the man in front of the door......
