197, Kama Taj (12th update)
Following.
Rosho and Fitz use teleportation machines to reach the foothills of the distant Himalayas.
Heading south through the old, narrow alleys of Kathmandu, Nepal, Rosho soon met his long-awaited friend Mordo.
Mordo saluted the two of them: "Welcome to the arrival of the two distinguished guests." ”
Luo Xiu had a slight complaint about the Ancient One's hospitality: "Why didn't the Ancient One just let you use space magic to bring the two of us into Kama Taj?" Or just tell me the exact coordinates of Kama Taj? ”
Mordo smiled lightly: "This lacks the feeling of being a guest, doesn't it?" ”
As he spoke, Mordo pushed open an old wooden door hidden in the alley, and the space behind it suddenly opened up - after entering the wooden door, Rosho and Fitz came to the top of the mountain, which was a platform high on a cliff, and in the distance were the towering mountains.
Turn left at the entrance, and on the platform is a row of three-eaves pagoda-style buildings, which Mordo told Rosho and Fitz that have the same name as Kathmandu outside the gate, which originally means "trees and temples" in Sanskrit.
Of course, it was obviously impossible to get here from the alley in Kathmandu, and when they walked up to the pagoda and temple-like building and turned back, Rosho and Fitz saw that there were snow-covered mountains all around, and there was no doubt that the ancient mage had obviously used spatial magic to connect Kama Taj and Kathmandu.
"Is Zhenma okay these days?" Luo Xiu asked with concern.
"It's not good, but it's not bad." Mordo gave an ambiguous answer, saying it and not saying it.
Luo Xiu guessed the truth from his reaction - Zhenma's situation must be extremely unstable, otherwise the Ancient One Mage would not be absent from the virus epidemic and the Zetarian invasion that almost destroyed the entire New York.
"Does Jenma still hear strange whispers?" Fitz was also worried, after all, the state that Zhenma showed at the end of her time in Old Bridge Town was simply devastating.
Mo Du was a little flustered by the questioning of the two people, and said with a wry smile: "Anyway, we are going to meet soon, so you might as well talk to her in person." ”
At this time, a person walked not far away, he was Casillas, the first disciple of the ancient one.
"Two guests are welcome." Casillas said politely, but his face remained expressionless.
"Thank you." Rosho and Fitz nodded in return, and followed them into the building.
"Repair! Fitz! ”
Zhenma's voice soon came from the hallway, and she walked briskly in a monk's robe, and behind her was the ancient mage holding a sandalwood fan, the smile on the mage's face was gentle and elegant.
"I regret what happened in New York and I'm sorry I couldn't help." Master Gu Yi apologized.
"Mage doesn't need to blame himself, I know you have your own troubles." Luo Xiudao.
And Zhenma showed a guilty expression: "I think I'm the mage's trouble......"
"Is it that bad?" Fitz asked worriedly.
The Ancient One mage smiled: "It's not as serious as Zhenma said, and she's not a bother, in fact, the fusion of Thor's blood and super soldier serum has created a unique Zhenma, and the ability she has now is immeasurable." ”
"That's a good thing." Fitz said happily, "It makes you a superhero." ”
Jenma was worried: "If I can control this energy, then that's a good thing, but if I can't control it, it's a disaster......"
"You'll get the hang of it." The Ancient One mage gently encouraged, "This is what belongs to you, and you will be able to conquer it one day." ”
After a few pleasantries, the ancient one mage left the guests a space to be alone, and left with Mordo and Casillas by himself.
And Rosho and Fitz asked about Zhenma's situation in detail and learned what had happened to Kama Taj these days.
Thor's blood gives Jinma the power of thunder, and she can easily release about 3 million volts, which is equivalent to 30 Pikachu amplifying at the same time - and this is only in her infancy, as she grows up, Zhenma will release more powerful electric shocks.
But Jinma, who is infused with Asgardian blood, begins to have mental problems, and she always seems to hear someone whispering in her ear, a strange sensation that causes her to lose control several times, and each time she loses control, it is accompanied by thunder and lightning.
If it weren't for the ancient mage's strong spells, Mordo and Casillas might have been struck by lightning long ago.
"Does the Ancient One have any explanation for this?" Luo Xiu asked, "She may know where the root of the problem is." ”
"Yes, she knows." Zhenma whispered, "The Ancient One told me that this is the price of gaining divine power, Thor's divine power is innate, which makes him deserve this ability, but my ability is acquired, so I must pay the price." ”
"What does that mean?" Fitz said he couldn't understand, "Is there an intrinsic connection?" ”
"Yes. But all this is inextricably linked to the occult, and it cannot be explained in a few words. Zhenma said.
"If you can't say a word, then speak slowly." Luo Xiu smiled, "By the way, Zhenma, I came here not only to see you, but also to ask for occult knowledge. ”
"Really?" Jenma was pleasantly surprised, "So you're going to stay in Kama Taj for a while?" Are we classmates again? ”
Luo Xiu nodded seriously: "That's right." ”
"What about you, Fitz?" Jenma looked back at Fitz.
Fitz shook his head decisively: "I'm not interested in the contents of the occult, I'm more interested in the loot captured from the Zetarians, and I have to go back to study alien equipment with Mr. Stark." ”
"So you've now managed to become your idol's assistant?" Jenma was genuinely happy for Fitz.
Fitz scratched the back of his head shyly: "Actually, my idol is not only Mr. Stark, but also Xiu, both of them are the smartest geniuses on the planet today. ”
"Hey, when did you learn to pat on the back?" Luo Xiu smiled and patted his old friend's shoulder, then got up and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go to the Ancient One Master to learn the arts." ”
——————
Master Gu Yi was sitting in the corridor on the second floor drinking tea at this time, and she seemed to have guessed Luo Xiu's intention.
Seeing Luo Xiu coming, Gu Yi smiled and asked, "Have you already thought about it?" ”
"Yes." Luo Xiu nodded solemnly and said, "I decided to ask you for the knowledge of occultism. ”
The Ancient One mage was noncommittal to his request, but asked rhetorically, "Why do you want to learn the knowledge of the occult?" ”
"Because I want to understand this world more thoroughly, this multiverse, and a lot of your knowledge here is far ahead of what humans know now......"
