Chapter 3: An Invitation from the Ancient One
As soon as Nick stepped into the room, he clearly felt that the scene around him began to change drastically.
The metallic laboratory vanishes in an instant, replaced by a medieval-style, plain-looking room.
The glow of the fireplace and the scattered candles on the walls illuminated the room.
Occasionally, a few clusters of sparks burst out of the fireplace.
Nick was a little surprised, but not surprised.
Typical archaic means.
"Did you open another portal behind my door?"
Nick naturally took a cup of hot tea from the Ancient One Master, and then found a place to sit down, leisurely raising Erlang's legs.
It looked as if he was the owner of the room.
"No, it's just a simple spatial teleportation magic, can't you feel it?"
Gu Yi smiled, not caring about Nick's behavior, but smiled faintly and came to Nick and sat down.
"How many times have I said that I don't know anything about magic."
Nick waved his hand.
This was not the first time he had been suddenly summoned by the Ancient One.
The last time was two months ago, when he had just come into this world.
The Supreme Mage, who is the Guardian, of course, noticed that something was wrong at the first time and teleported Nick over, intending to find out what was going on.
Because, at the moment when Nick crossed over, the eyes of Agomoto on her neck actually had a rare change.
This is unprecedented.
That's why the ancient one was so shocked at that time.
It was also from that moment that Gu Yi was surprised to find that all the future scenes he had seen before had been strangely shifted, and there was one more accident.
And that change is Nick!
"You're still so humble that you're able to master my mirror space magic after only seeing it once, it's not as simple as being extremely talented."
Gu Yi shook his head, and his whole body exuded an elegant and natural aura, which made people feel very comfortable when they looked at her.
"How's it going, have you thought it through?" Gu Yi spoke, "As long as you nod your head now, the title of the next Supreme Mage will fall to you." ”
"Do you see me as the Supreme Mage in the future?"
Nick asked rhetorically.
He actually had no interest in the title of Supreme Mage.
It's better to be the head of your own S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
Although there will be life-threatening situations every once in a while, it is better than the later Strange who becomes a monster that is not human or ghostly.
The most important point is that Nick is still clear about whether he has the talent to practice magic.
That is, I don't know anything!
After all, the original owner of this body, Nick Fury, is a waste of magic.
This is a fact that cannot be changed.
And the so-called in the ancient mouth, the fact that you will read it once.
It was Nick who shook hands with the ancient one very shamelessly at that time, and extracted the complete mirror magic from her.
"Hmmm......"
Gu Yi was silent for a moment, then continued.
"You know, I can see a lot of futures, but each one will be different.
There are good and bad ones, including you succeeding me and replacing a future like Strange. ”
"What will be the outcome of such a future?"
"A lot, there is a future where you and Dormammu divided the earth together, and there is a future where you are even better than Strange, of course, more often than not, you get tired of the position of Supreme Mage in the back and return it to Strange."
"Then why are you so adamant about teaching me if you know I'm going to have to throw this thing back to Strange in the end?" Nick asked rhetorically.
"The future can change, and I believe in you, you'll do better than Strange."
"Huh?"
"Well, you're a better fit for the job than that talker, talker, proud, and magic-less fellow, at least, you won't kill so many ascetics."
"Good fellow, I feel sorry for your subordinates."
Nick pretended to be suddenly enlightened, still crossing his legs.
"So you brought it to me suddenly this time just to ask me if I would like to inherit your position?" Nick frowned and said.
"In that case, I'm sorry, but I'm still the same answer, I still prefer to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. rather than bothering to observe every corner of the planet every day.
At least the governor, I can occasionally embezzle a huge amount of money, and with this money I have a lot of good-looking girls. ”
"Wait Nick, aren't you going to let that hapless guy out first?"
Gu Yi got up and stopped Nick who wanted to leave.
"You mean, that Loki guy?"
"Hmm." Gu nodded, "You've let him free fall in your mirror space force for almost half an hour, and this punishment is about the same." ”
"That's a long way off, and I've never had a good opinion of this kind of brainless Asgardian."
Nick snapped his fingers despite saying that.
I saw that on the roof above them, a large black hole suddenly appeared, accompanied by a scream sounded inside, and a figure also fell in response, making close contact with the ground.
"Damn Midgard, how fucking dare you let a great god free fall for half an hour in a place full of reflections!"
Loki roared hysterically, and just as he tried to get up from the ground, he was hit in the head by the psychic scepter that fell one step later than him.
A scream came out of his mouth, and the hapless scepter rolled to Nick's feet.
Nick was just about to pick up the scepter, but a dagger was held to his neck.
Loki, who was originally embarrassed on the floor, didn't know when he appeared behind Nick, gritting his teeth and holding the dagger, standing behind Nick.
"Braised eggs, you will pay for ......"
However, before he could finish speaking, his figure disappeared again.
Of course, this time it wasn't Loki who was messing around, but Nick couldn't stand Loki's self-righteousness and threw him back into mirror space.
Looking at Nick, who didn't need any preparation for casting spells at all, the corners of Gu Yi's mouth raised slightly.
"He also said that he has no talent for magic, and even I can't move out of the mirror space so freely."
Nick didn't answer the Ancient One's question, but changed the subject.
"He's a nuisance, if you don't mind, I'll leave you here, anyway, you don't have a lot of means of educating people, just enough to use this honorable prince of Asgard to your heart's content."
"Of course, another reason I asked you to come here is to ask you for him."
