Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mutual Compromise
The Ancient One's appearance and dress are no different from those in the movie, with a bald head that is standard for Marvel world bigwigs, and a mage robe similar to a long cloak.
And because he used secret arts, stole the power of the dark dimension, and gained a long lifespan, he looked very young, not at all like a human who had lived for hundreds of years.
If you grow long hair, take off your mage robes and change into a custom women's outfit from Laogel's tailor's shop, or just put on a slightly feminine outfit and light makeup.
The leader of the wizarding world, the Supreme Mage, has no less charm than the widow sister.
"Welcome to the Jiang Pawnshop, Ancient One Supreme Master!" After staring at Gu Yi, who walked straight into the pawn shop, for a long time, Ellis spoke.
"Looks like you're waiting for me!"
Although Gu Yi just entered the pawn shop, he found that he had made a mistake, because the magic energy in his body was deprived by some powerful rules, and there was an extra information about Jiang's pawn shop in his brain out of thin air.
But she didn't panic, and she didn't retreat directly outside the pawn shop, just stunned slightly, and calmly crossed the three Mordo and sat opposite Ellis.
Because she knew her current situation, after losing her magical energy and unable to cast her magic, Ellis would never give her a chance to leave the pawn shop.
And at this moment, she also understood why Mo Du came to Jiang's pawnshop.
Because Stephen Strange was her hand-picked disciple, Mordo and Jonathan merely acted as executors and guides.
This time, Mordo left Kama Taj to come to New York to investigate because of Stephen Strange's recovery of both hands, and she also knew it well.
Or rather, she signaled.
Combined with the information that appeared in his brain when he entered Jiang's pawnshop, it is not difficult to judge the cause and effect of this incident.
When she sat down, she first glanced at the staff and hanging ring placed on the table, and then looked at Noah, who was lazy next to Ellis, before her eyes lit up, "I didn't expect that the cat god Best has disappeared in the long river of history, and there are still her descendants!" ”
Although the ancient one directly revealed the origin of the little one, Ellis was not too surprised.
Because their magic secrets have been passed down from generation to generation, in addition to a large number of magic books in Kama Taj's library, there are ancient books that record the cat god Best.
Moreover, Gu Yi has mastered too many secret techniques, and even some fragile spatial rules can be easily broken, and it is not surprising that he can connect to the dimensional space and know some secrets.
"Meow~" But after the little guy heard the origin of the ancient one, he was also interested, and took the initiative to jump on the table and look at the ancient one opposite.
"Hello, little one, my name is Ancient One, and I am a magician!" To Ellis's surprise, in this case, the Ancient One actually greeted the little guy and stretched out his right hand to shake its little paw.
Although it is not clear whether she really values Noah, who has the blood of the cat god Best, or whether she takes the opportunity to delay time and wants to do something secretly.
But for Ellis, it doesn't matter, because in Jiang's pawnshop, he is invincible.
So it wasn't until the little guy who was full of curiosity lost interest in Gu Yi and jumped off the table and left that he turned his head to look at the three Mo Du who were about to collapse by five times the gravity, and said lightly: "That's right, I'm really waiting for you!" ”
Gu Yi also followed Ellis's eyes and glanced at the three of Mordo, and then said very shamefully: "Now you are a sword warrior, and I am a fish and meat, so you can directly make a condition!" ”
Seeing that Gu Yi was so knowledgeable, Ellis didn't hesitate: "As long as Kama Taj is willing to become a family with Jiang's pawnshop, everything that happens today will no longer be a problem." ”
Hearing this, Gu Yi was puzzled: "Become a family?" ”
"That's right, become a family!" Ellis nodded, "For example, let my younger brother, Jiang Feng, follow you to learn magic......"
Accept Jiang Feng as a student?
Gu Yi frowned, but he didn't directly refuse.
Because Ellis's offer was a bit unexpected and nonsense, she needed to think about it.
It's not that simple to accept students, not to mention the problem of magical talent, just now that the two sides are opposed to each other, she has to weigh it carefully, whether it will cultivate a Casillas again.
Moreover, Ellis is so strong, and the Jiang Pawn Shop claims to be able to fulfill all wishes, in this case, why go to great lengths to send Jiang Feng to learn magic?
Although she had many doubts, the current situation did not allow her to refuse. If they don't, who knows what Ellis will do to the four of them next.
As for pretending to agree first, and then not teaching Jiang Feng his true skills, it's not impossible.
But doing so will easily cause Ellis's dissatisfaction, causing the two sides to stand on opposite sides again.
When he came to Jiang's pawnshop, he experienced the transformation from a big guy who lost his magic energy in an instant and became an ordinary person, and he would not easily choose to fight with Ellis.
Of course, it would be a great thing if Kama Taj could really be on the same side as Ellis because of this.
Not to mention that as long as there are pawns of sufficient value, Jiang's pawnshop can respond to requests. The strength shown by Ellis alone is also a good ally for Kama Taj.
So thinking of the gains and losses made her very entangled!
Seeing that Gu didn't react for half a day, Ellis became a little impatient, and asked in a slightly tough tone, "Got a problem?" ”
It's no wonder that Ellis isn't friendly enough, his attitude is much better than when he faced Professor X and Magneto before.
If it weren't for Jiang Feng, his younger brother in physical blood, who was bent on learning magic, he would not have given Gu a face, and would only give a slight punishment to the three Mo Du who came to find fault, let alone make such a simple condition.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful your ancient one's magic cultivation is, if you enter the Jiang family's pawnshop and fall into his hands, it will not be easy to use.
If he can't talk about it, in order to prevent future troubles, he can directly kill the four people, including Gu Yi, and it's a hundred!
Perhaps seeing Ellis's impatience, the ancient one pondered it and explained: "Magic is not something that everyone can learn, in addition to a strong will, you must have enough talent. Otherwise, even if I were willing to teach, his achievements would not be too great! ”
After listening to the Ancient One's words, Ellis's tone was a little better: "You don't have to worry about his talent, before this, he had studied the first solution of magic!" ”
At this point, after some weighing, Gu Yi still chose to compromise: "I can promise to accept your brother, but you also have to promise me one condition!" ”
"On what terms?"
"About Stephen Strange......
…………
"Boss, aren't you afraid that Gu Yi will deal with errands when the time comes, or directly cheat?" After Gu Yi left the pawn shop with Mordo and the others, the little mischievous walked over.
"As long as I keep being strong, Gu Yi will not let Jiang Feng be wronged, and at some point, I have to ensure his safety." Ellis shook his head and smiled, "It's overbearing, but that's the reality." ”
"As for how much Gu Yi can learn from Gu Yi's ability to press the bottom of the box, it depends on his own performance! After all, because of my existence, Gu Yi will more or less guard against him! ”
