Chapter 42: The City of Light

Nepal? Yes.

Just as every guest always comes to visit the host first, Arthur, as a spellcaster, came to Marvel, of course, the first thing that came to mind was his colleague in this world, Kama Taj.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D., snort! There is no common language between spellcasters and mortals who cannot see the path of arcane.

The capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, was formerly known as Kantipur, which means "City of Light". It is a religious city, with more than 2,700 temples large and small, and it is a veritable Buddhist city.

At an altitude of more than 1,700 meters, the rolling mountains block the chaos of the world and create this pure land. People of different skin tones gather here, practice devoutly, enjoy simple pleasures, and pursue the fulfillment of life.

As an alchemy apprentice, Arthur walked in the crowd without disagreeing.

What a country of cultivation, a country of mountain hermits.

However, where there is light and there is darkness, you must not think that this is really a pure land, and Arthur soon notices the dissonance here - an uninvited black hand reaches into his pocket from behind.

Arthur turned around, it was a few young people, and when he saw that he was arrested at the scene, he didn't have any remorse on his face, and he raised his face, looking like he couldn't help me.

This is a group of young people who have gone astray!

These children, at a glance, know that behind each guy, I am afraid that they can write a long story of tossing and turning, the darkness of human nature, the shadow of the family or something, Brabra.

Arthur's reaction was not to pay attention to the guys, but to look around with his neck tilted, and if he remembered correctly, it seemed that Doctor Strange Stephen Strange had also been picked up and rescued by Kama Taj's men.

Arthur, the man who rescued Strange, remembers that he was a black boy named Mordo or something.

So Mordo, come on!

Come on!

This pickpocket is out, how can you Kama Taj not show up!

This plot is not right!

A few young thieves, stalking their necks, thought that they had missed today, and they were going to fight, but it turned out that this guy who was picked up looked like a psychopath, and you looked around for a few meanings.

Do you look down on buddies?

The thieves were not happy, feeling that it was against their dignity.

"Hey! Hit him! ”

In order to maintain their dignity, the thieves went straight to the action.

Arthur had expected this, and he didn't plan to fight back, but he just carefully covered it up a few times, but then he took a few hits in a row, and suddenly reacted, and his head was funny, what method is not good to find someone, and he has to use the method of being beaten to find someone, isn't it stupid!

There's no way that no one knows about a place the size of Kama Taj.

immediately returned the hand and crackled and gave the thieves a lesson,

"Say, where's Kama Taj?"

It is unlikely that Kama Taj can be found from a few street thieves, but this is modern society, a modern society, and it is impossible to completely cover everyone's gaze, and Arthur quickly finds news of Kama Taj from a local Snake group.

Walk through the city's dilapidated but lively streets, push open an old wooden door facing the street, and enter a simple courtyard, which looks no different from the ordinary local house, but in front of it is the main house, built of traditional mahogany, which is a bit of a tyrant.

But in an ancient city like Kathmandu, it's not ordinary.

This yard is Kama Taj? If it weren't for that guy's words, Arthur would have thought he was lying to himself.

At this time, a footstep came from behind him, a voice,

"Excuse me, guest, what do you need me to do for you?"

Arthur turned, a tall, thick-eyed black man with a pestle behind him, his eyes lit up, and he knew he had found a place.

That's right, it should be that Mordo, who has face blindness to black people, and he's not very sure, but there is still a kind of rush in his heart that hits an easter egg.

The reason is simple!

Even if the tourism industry in a backward country like Nepal is booming, how many white European and American tourists can there be a year, let alone black Americans, who do not live in hotels, but appear in the courtyards of local residents, which is obviously a bug!

And also wearing the iconic hoodie.

Isn't this Kama Taj where is it?

To verify his guess, Arthur also shouted:

"Mordo!"

Then you can see Mo Du, who was originally thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a kind face, and instantly changed his face.

If you were an ordinary person, Mordo would definitely be a pleasant face in disguise, but if you were replaced by someone who knew his identity, he would be a stranger.

The reaction was quite different.

I saw Mordo take a step back, put the two fingers of his left hand together and insert it behind him, and when he came out again, he had already put on a decoration on his hand, which looked like a ring, but it was a ring worn by two fingers, which was the exclusive equipment of the Kama Taj mage - the hanging ring!

"Who are you and how do you know me?"

Mordo, wearing the suspension ring, was ready for battle.

Arthur hurriedly raised his hands,

"Oh, no, no!"

"Don't do it, I'm not here to fight."

As a mage, Mordo was of course confident in his memory, he had never seen the man in front of him before.

"Then what is the purpose of your visit to Kama Taj."

Mordo was alert.

Arthur raised his hands in the air,

"If I'm saying I'm here to find someone, what do you say?"

"Looking for someone?"

Mordo quickly looked out the door, closed the door,

The body stands in front of the door, blocking Arthur's escape.

Arthur noticed and didn't care, he didn't plan to leave in the first place.

"Who are you looking for?"

Mordo asked,

"Think about it, I'm looking for the Supreme Mage?"

What the?

Mordo was startled, the hanging ring in his hand had already lit up, and it had begun to spray sparks outward! This is the sign of the start of the battle of the mages of Kama Taj,

"Oh, no, no, no, just kidding, how could I possibly know the Supreme Mage? I'm here to find Strange. ”

Arthur raised his hands again.

Strange?

That genius mage!

At this time, according to the plot, the handbroken hand doctor Strange should have entered Kama Taj, and was taken into the door by the Supreme Mage Ancient One, and all kinds of cruel "abuse" quickly stimulated his potential, so that he could take over her position as the Supreme Mage in the future Dormam War and protect the earth.

Of course, this plan is only clear to the ancient one himself.

However, Strange entered Kama Taj Mordo but he knew, this black boy was a good and good man, rough on the outside and soft on the inside, he saw his former self in Strange, often helped Strange, and was very familiar with him.

But Mordo still refused to believe in his heart, this Arthur was too weird.

Although Kama Taj is not a mystery in the eyes of many people, it is not so easy to be found by others, and the key is that Arthur can still call out the names of himself, the Supreme Mage and Strange one after another, which is a big problem.

At this moment, the door of the main room in front of him opened, and a man walked out.

"Thank you, Master Mordo, go down!"

"I know what this guest is here for."

This new person, dressed in a plain brocade robe, with a bald head, with a kind of see-through eyes on her face, calm and powerful, after speaking, she looked at Arthur with a smile, as if she had seen Arthur's heart.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, stranger shuttling through different worlds!"

Note: According to the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, the plot of Doctor Strange coincides with Iron Man 2 and has already happened. But in this book, the plot of Doctor Strange Strange's learning in Kama Taj is moved backwards, which takes place in early 2016 and intersects with the main character. Please do not spray or spray lightly, in addition: The Marvel character settings in this book are roughly based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and have nothing to do with comics.
