Chapter 201: Cosmic Demon God Totem Co-Prosperity Project (Medium)
Although the time has entered autumn, the afternoon in New York is still a little hot, the pull tab of the can is soft, followed by a "poof", Peter raised his head, poured a cool coke, and let out a refreshing "Ha......"
"Are you done drinking? After drinking, refine this part again. ”
"Oh, here we are."
Peter put the Coke on the table in the prep room, then put on his lab coat again, and went to the lab table, where he looked left and right, and then whispered to Dr. Connors, "Can we really do this?" I don't think we'll be able to hide it from Mr. Stark, but this is the laboratory of Stark Tower. ”
Schiller, who was sitting in the preparation room, said to Peter: "It seems that you didn't listen to the psychological theory I taught you before. ”
Peter scratched his head and asked, "I just don't remember much...... But what does that have to do with us doing experiments without Mr. Stark? ”
"I'm pretty sure Stark wouldn't use surveillance equipment to observe the lab, he's a proud man, so he wouldn't have taken this peeking-like approach when he knew Dr. Connors had several biotech patents in his hands."
"His pride makes him not do anything that has anything to do with 'stealing knowledge', even if it is just a little risk, he will try to avoid it."
"Stark is like a proud bird, his intelligence is the beautiful feather he is most proud of, and he avoids anything that might stain his feathers, even if it gets him more food."
Connors also added: "That's why he's more of a scientist than a businessman." ”
Peter nodded to show that he understood, and he glanced up at the watch in the room, "Sorry, doctor, I have to leave in an hour, and I have friends waiting for me." ”
Connors looked up and asked Schiller, "When is Strange coming?" ”
Schiller was pulling out his phone and about to make a call to Strange when a red gap suddenly appeared in the center of the lab room, which then expanded into a red circle, and Strange came out of it, still holding a crystal ball in his hand.
"Whew......," he sighed, "you don't know what I've just been through, oh my God! I never thought that a mage would have to do such a job! ”
"Tell us about your amazing experience." Schiller glanced up at the window, and it was still early.
Peter stared at Strange with a curious expression, and Strange carefully placed the crystal ball on the table, let out a long breath, and began his story.
It still has to start with Kama Taj.
After Strange became Kama Taj's apprentice, he began his long journey of learning magic.
Strange has a good talent, and his ability to learn is also very fast, and it didn't take long to find the doorway, and some small spells were used well.
At the same time, he has come and gone frequently with Kama Taj, and he has a deeper understanding of the interpersonal relationships here, in addition to the Supreme Mage Ancient One and the Grand Butler of Kama Taj Wang, he also knows a person, that is, the great disciple of the Ancient One, Baron Mordo.
Strange felt that the person he couldn't get along with in Kama Taj was his senior brother, and Mordo's behavior reminded him all the time that he was an outsider, a wild man who was a halfway monk.
Because Baron Mordo is too much like a mage, even more like the ancient one.
He is silent, solemn, and mysterious, and every word he utters has a mysterious meaning that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, not only is he strong in magic, but the style of painting that uses magic is exactly the same as that of a mage in the traditional sense.
Every time Mordo used magic, he floated in mid-air, his robe floated slightly, mysterious points of light surrounded his body, and a series of mysterious spells came out of his mouth, and then he moved freely and freely.
In contrast, Strange is not so beautiful when he casts magic, being entangled in a dumpling by a disobedient crimson belt, disappearing directly after the magic portal is opened halfway, and the Seven Rings of Raggador are flying out of control.
What's more, Strange doesn't know much about mystery and philosophy, and he can't say anything like Mordo, and he opens his mouth to say the true meaning of life, the search for tranquility, the source of power, and so on.
Every time he heard the Ancient One talking to Baron Mordo, Strange felt that the Ancient One must be impatient when talking to him, because Strange had no knowledge of magical theory, let alone those mysterious stories that were remote and remote.
The topics that Baron Mordo and the Ancient One talked about were all the universe, truth, origin, etc., while the topics that Strange and the Ancient One talked about were basically loans, interest rates, differences, and so on.
The former looks like a magic temple preaching and receiving a job, and the latter sounds like a banking sales call.
It would have been fine if Strange and Baron Mordo hadn't been able to talk together, but because of the financial fraud scheme that Strange had introduced to the Ancient One, the two of them often traveled back and forth between Asgard and some other dimensions to prepare for the whole plan.
During this time, the Ancient One took Strange to run all over the world, but left his eldest disciple Mordo in Kama Taj.
As the only disciple of the Supreme Mage for many years, Mordo had long regarded himself as the heir of the Supreme Mage and Kama Taj in his heart, but now, seeing that this little junior disciple who was incompatible with magic was deeply liked by the Ancient One, he certainly had thoughts in his heart.
And what surprised Mordo the most was that the Ancient One actually asked him to contact Dormammu.
In Kama Taj, most of the magic used by everyone is white magic, from Hogars or other demon gods in the realm of order, and black magic is absolutely forbidden.
But because the definition of magic is relatively vague, most mages don't just use white magic, such as Setolak's crimson belt, the power from the crimson dimension is not berserk, and many new mages will also use his magic, but Setolak is obviously not the Demon God of Order.
Therefore, there are also some powerful mages who use the power of the Dark Demon God, which is clear to both the Ancient One and Baron Mordo.
The Ancient One turned a blind eye to this, as long as the mages could control this power of their own, then the Supreme Mages would not pursue it.
But not pursuing it and putting the connection with the dark demon god on the table are two completely different things.
Many of the mages of Kama Taj are wondering what the Ancient One is going to do. Of course, they didn't think that the Supreme Mage would be able to deal with foreign enemies, they just wondered if the Ancient One had finally found a way to kill Dormammu and wanted to trick him into killing him?
Mordo, on the other hand, was even more apprehensive, for his connection to Dormammu was much deeper than the Ancient One knew.
Mordo's research on black magic is extremely deep, and he is confident that the Ancient One has not discovered all this, but suddenly one day, the Ancient One actually said to him, you go to contact Dormammu, the darkest and most chaotic Lord of the dark dimension around the earth, who thinks about invading the earth every day!
Can this Mordo not play the drums in his heart?
Could it be that my personal association with the Demon God of the Dark Dimension has been discovered? Is this the Ancient One warning me? Or did the Ancient One really find a way to make Dormammu into a dumpling filling? So what are you going to do?
Just like before, Mordo has a characteristic, he is a very traditional mage, and in short, he really believes in magic.
At this time, an idea gradually formed in Mordo's mind, and after he returned from the dark dimension, no one knew what he had talked about with Dormammu.
And then, it didn't take long for Strange to meet Dormammu, not only Dormammu, but also the famous Sitolakh, the lord of the crimson dimension in the universe, Mephisto, the ruler of hell, and a large number of famous cosmic demon gods who could knock down a group of people.
The place where they met was Asgard's Asgard, the person presiding over the meeting was Odin, the father of the gods, and the initiator of the meeting was the Earth Supreme Mage Ancient One, and standing next to Ancient One was Strange, who looked at the legs of these big guys who were a little weak.
Under the constant harassment of the ancient one's phone calls, he finally got together this luxurious lineup, and Strange never dreamed that he would give a speech in front of this gang of big guys who were trembling in the stomping universe.
Strange is regretful, very regretful.
As he stood in the middle of the Asgard Palace, to his right was a surging black mist, a vague human form in it, exuding endless darkness that was suffocating just by looking at it.
To his left is a huge red whirlpool, behind which you can see an endless world, and an even larger monster sits on the top of the world, and its eyes can devour everything.
In front of Strange is the flames of hell blazing, and the staircase strewn with corpses leads to the tall throne, on which a vague figure sits and looks out from hell.
Next to these three big guys, there are many monsters with strange shapes, which make people almost frightened at a glance.
Strange stood in the middle of the pair of demons, and he thought he must be on a thief ship.
But things have developed to this point, and it's not that Strange can't stop talking about it if he doesn't want to, he can only grit his teeth, stomp his feet, and bite the bullet to tell the immoral and shameless plan.
Strange, who was in the lab recounting the experience, looked tired and said, "...... I was halfway through my sentence when the demon stepped down from his throne and appeared right above my head, can you believe it? ”
"The whole sea of hellfire appeared above my head, and I could even hear the screams of the souls inside......"
Strange was unloved: "Then, the demon god named Setolak poked his head out of the whirlpool, do you know what a terrifying sight it was?!" One of his beards is bigger than my whole body! ”
"I can't describe to you what it is." Strange covered his forehead: "I feel like with this experience, there is nothing in this world that I would be afraid of." ”
"So, how did you end up talking?"
"After I finished speaking, I went back to the teacher, and when they started to talk about it, the atmosphere was quite scary."
"And after that?" Connors also asked with some curiosity.
"Later......" Strange said Strange, "they quarreled, and the more they quarreled, the more fierce it became, and Odin had to start fighting." ”
"At first, it was reasonable, but then it became louder than anyone, and finally it became bigger than anyone's fist."
"You're, they fought?"
"God King Odin was originally going to persuade him, but it seemed that a demon god spoke disrespectfully to him, and he directly slashed down with a thunderbolt, and then within a few seconds, the sky above Asgard was a mess......"
"In the end, most of the demon gods either ran away or died, and only a few of the more powerful ones remained, sit down and continue talking."
"They even keep talking?"
"The Supreme Mage told me that the Demon God Negotiation is like this, whenever they get together, they must fight first, and only the living can stay and negotiate."
Strange sighed and continued, "When they sat down again, I realized that they didn't even understand a tenth of what I had said. ”
"They came up with a bunch of questions, and I answered them as best I could, but there were still a lot of questions, especially that Mephisto!"
Strange's tone became a little angry: "He threw me a bunch of messy questions, some of which I couldn't answer, and he actually scolded me for not being unskillful!" I'm a neurosurgeon! I'm not a financial practitioner, so how do I know how the interest rate benchmark is calculated? ”
"The end result?" Schiller asked.
"The rest of the people agreed to participate and paid a deposit, and that's it." Strange picked up the crystal ball on the table: "This is the pure magical energy they provide, it does not contain any personal attributes, it can be used directly, and it does not need to be returned." ”
"But on the condition that we have to send someone to answer a lot of their questions."
"It's easy, tomorrow I'll send Nick to the prison to find some financial practitioners with trustworthy moral standards."
"But we can't let this group of people meet those cosmic demon gods, right? They're going to be scared to death. ”
Schiller asked Strange, "Did you know there's something called the phone?" ”
