Chapter 371: The Choice of Will
Kama Taj, Ashram. Gu Yi was frowning, looking at an illusion in front of him. In Kama Taj, there is a magical device that monitors the world with the help of Vishandi. The main thing, of course, is to monitor anomalies around the world. The invasion of an alien creature or something.
At this time, the vision showed that there were hundreds of places around the world that were potentially threatened with invasion. Emperor Weishan is not omnipotent. It can prevent the invasion of the dark dimension, and it can prevent the forcible entry of creatures from different planes. But it's like a computer's operating system. It seems to be invulnerable, but in the eyes of connoisseurs, it is like a fishing net, full of holes. The top hackers will always be able to find vulnerabilities and smuggle them in.
The Hermitage exists to cope with this, cleaning up the stowaways and patching the Vishan Emperor. Only this time the situation is a little different.
Kama Taj's monitoring system has found hundreds of potential spatial weaknesses at one time. And there are a lot of traces of man-made in it. This indicates that there is an enemy active in the shadows.
The Ancient One immediately thought of the Dark Sect. But the hermitage and the dark sect have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, and each is aware of each other's strengths. The Dark Sect did not have the courage to go to war with the Order. What's more, now that the Council is rising, it is even more unlikely that the Dark Sect will declare war at this moment.
Gu Yi realized that he was going to go out to investigate this matter. But in his mind, he suddenly remembered what Lin Xuan had said.
"The entire multiverse only knows the Supreme Mage, not the Hermitage. You've done so much for them, it's time for them to fight for the world. She thought about it for a moment, but stopped.
"Wang, how many qualified mages are there in the Hermitage now?"
"Not counting the guardians of the three major temples, there are about forty or so."
"It's so little, it's less than half of the parliament. Where do you think we are missing? ”
"I've thought about this for a number of reasons. The first is that the Magical Council has extraordinary influence in the world. As far as I know, they began to secretly take a stake in major corporations 60 years ago. The current Magic Council has in its hands a huge amount of resources. I wouldn't be surprised if they impeached the president of the United States tomorrow. ”
"It's true, these resources are not useful for training magicians. But it is possible to build a vast network of observations in the world, from which to select children with excellent qualifications. Do you think we should also consider expanding our temporal influence?"
"It really should be done. But that's only one aspect. I think the most powerful thing about councils is that their training system is so perfect. As far as I know, they've even compiled magic textbooks. And it's been upgraded more than ten times. During these years, they constantly adjusted their teaching protocols. From the most basic level of initiation education, to apprenticeship education, to the education of qualified magicians, there is a complete and detailed process. Even better than the secular education system. This education system can create a virtuous circle by providing them with qualified mages. ”
"The magician who came out of the assembly line?"
"No, far more than that. In fact, they attach far more importance to actual combat than we do. It is said that their students, from the time of their apprenticeship, faced a forced weekly competition. Before you can get a Junior Mage certification, you have to complete a combat mission. After becoming a full-fledged mage, you have to face various combat missions all the time. There is even a fairly high mortality rate. Fighting is the main theme of the Magic Council. ”
"I remember that the monastic also attached great importance to actual combat. We have sparring every day. ”
"With all due respect, Supreme Mage. The cultivation of the Insurgency is fundamentally different from that of the Magical Council. Your training of all the mages of the Retreat is just looking for a successor. You're asking too much. There may not be more than ten people in the entire world who are qualified to become Supreme Mages. But that doesn't mean those apprentices aren't valuable. Your eyes are looking too far and ignoring something underneath. ”
"Oh, King. I really didn't expect you to give such a detailed insight. You've been thinking about it for a long time, right? ”
"Yes, the rise of parliament reminds me a lot. I wanted to talk to you about it. However, you are too busy. ”
"yes, I'm too busy. So I'll take a break this time. We detected hundreds of spatial weak spots. It was clear that something was going to happen. So, let the little ones go and get some experience. Let them start probing all the weak points of the space and find out who is behind them. ”
"The person who can bypass Emperor Weishan and do this kind of thing must be someone who knows Emperor Weishan very well. Therefore...... "The king was a little inclined to speak, and then stopped."
"I see what you mean, and I thought of that possibility. Casillas, I hope it's not him. So be it, let Mordo follow them, but don't show up. If it's Casillas, bring him back. ”
On the battlefield, everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. nervously pointed the weapons in their hands at Lin Xuan and the others. It's just that Rogers stopped them.
"Lay down your arms. They are not enemies. They're, magicians, am I right? Steve said to Lin Xuan in a complicated tone.
"I'm a little surprised that Fury let you out so quickly."
"I'm afraid it's because your presence puts too much pressure on him. Magic, demons, hell, what I have seen in a day today has exceeded my imagination. I thought that when I woke up and the war was over, it would be the biggest change. But in fact, it's a different world entirely. ”
"The world is always changing. Maybe you'll never get used to it. But it is here, and it will not be diverted by our will. All we have to do is find a reason for ourselves to fight. ”
"This ring is precious, isn't it? Why choose me. At the time, I hadn't used a booster potion yet, and I wasn't a warrior yet. ”
"Huh. Steve, do you think I chose you because you're a super soldier? Then you couldn't be more wrong. It's not given to fighters, it's just given to you, Steve Rogers. Do you know? This ring is not the only one. I can make another one whenever I want. But I'm not going to do that, because it doesn't make sense at all. I can't find a second person who is qualified to use this power. It wasn't me who chose you, Steve. It is the ring that chooses you, and it is the will that chooses you. ”
