After a few moments of discussion around the stone platform, the young mages dispersed again, and perhaps only gathered around again the next time someone tried to communicate with the Eye of Agamotto. Stephen Strange, who had failed in an attempt, also stood by the stone platform for a while before leaving, perhaps thinking the same thing as the young mages around him.

When everyone had dispersed, the king sat down in his place. However, the current king is a little disappointed in Strange. Because the ancient one has a obviously different attitude towards Strange, the king also has expectations for him. However, Strange's performance in the Eye of Agamotto is similar to that of other genius mages, which also means that the Ancient One may have mistaken it.

However, what the king didn't know was that when these young mages were communicating with the Eye of Agamotto, the Ancient One Mages had been watching from their residences. For those young mages who can cause a little reaction from the eyes of Agamotto, the ancient one mages are also very pleased, after all, the future of the earth mage line still depends on these mages to support it.

When Strange made a move, the Ancient One obviously paid more attention. When Strange opened a crack in Agomoto's Eye, the Ancient One didn't show a surprised expression, for he these were all things that Strange himself should do. After that, the Eye of Agamotto, which had been opened by a crack, closed again, and sent out a blast of magical energy that shattered Strange's magic, just as it had happened to other mages.

The change in Agamotto's Eye in Strange's hands was the same as in the other young mages, and it stands to reason that the Ancient One was either calm or a little disappointed like the king. However, before Strange was repulsed, Gu Yi's eyes showed a little surprise and expectation.

Call~

As Strange, who was in the library and was repelled by the magic unleashed by the Eye of Agamotto, stood by the stone platform, the ancient one, who was sitting cross-legged in his room, opened his eyes, and a pale golden light flashed in his eyes.

"Sure enough, he's different......" The pale golden light in his eyes gradually faded, and the corners of Gu Yi's mouth curled slightly and muttered to himself.

Before meeting Lin Rui, Ancient One Mage had always been a detached figure who had a special understanding of the development of various events in the world. After all, in terms of strength, the Ancient One is already standing at the top of the earth and even the entire multidimensional universe. What's more, he also has the Eye of Agamotto, a time gem that can peek into the future in the long river of time.

However, since he met Phantom Knight, that is, Lin Rui, Gu Yi found that the future of this magical young man was blurry and impossible to see. And the Ancient One, who was good at using his soul power, soon discovered that this magical young man did not completely belong to this world, but among eliminating him and observing him, the Ancient One still chose the latter.

Gu Yi, who made that choice, did not regret it later, Lin Rui's performance has always been to make the world develop better. However, even if the Ancient One Mage couldn't see Lin Rui's future clearly, he knew that he was a person who could influence and even change the future. However, in the incident encountered by the Earth Mage this time, the Ancient One knew very clearly that that magical boy would not be of much help. The Earth Mage lineage needs a special person to appear, so there will be a selection of a new generation of Supreme Mages.

It was precisely because of this that the Ancient One deliberately let the support of the mage line go so late when Casillas attacked the New York Temple. On the one hand, the Ancient One wanted to see if the future he "saw" was real, and on the other hand, the Ancient One also wanted the magical young man to know that there were some things that he could not help if he wanted to.

And in the process of selecting the new generation of supremes, Stephen Strange, an arrogant neurosurgeon with a disability in both hands from Chicago, undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention from the ancient one. Over the course of several rounds of selection, the Ancient One Mage discovered more and more that this young doctor of average character had an unparalleled talent in magic. Moreover, for Strange's future "viewing", the ancient one was also surprised to find that he was the person he had been waiting for who could bring about a change in the Earth Mage lineage.

It can be said that outside of Lin Rui, Stephen Strange is the person who has used the Time Stone to check the most by the Ancient One Mage. Although he could not always see a very clear future, what the Ancient One Master saw was enough for him to make some judgments. That's why he was indifferent to Strange's small movements, and put the Eye of Agamotto in the library for them to observe and communicate.

It seems that the interaction between Strange and the Eye of Agamotto is not much different from that of other mages, but this is the reason why the Ancient One is secretly attacking. Originally, Strange was almost about to open the Eye of Agamotto, but because the Eye of Agamotto was sealed with an item like the Time Gem, which can cause great changes in the real world. So, at that time, the Ancient One made a move, and he activated the defensive magic on the Eye of the Lower Agamotto to repel Strange.

So, while others and even Strange himself felt that he had failed, he was actually considered a success. Although he didn't know what the reason for this was, he was indeed able to communicate directly with the Eye of Agomoto on a deep level, and even opened the seal to access the Time Stone inside.

"In that case, even if I really ...... The Eye of Agamotto can be regarded as a successor. His eyes seemed to penetrate the curtain in front of him and saw the vast snow-capped mountains and blue sky outside the courtyard, and the ancient one muttered to himself in a low voice.

After muttering a few words to himself, the ancient one closed his eyes again and fell into meditation.

......

New York, Queens, Lin Rui, who returned home from Stark Industries, contacted Jerry and learned some about the Earth Mage. However, to Lin Rui's surprise, three days had passed, and nothing had happened on the Earth Mage's side. It seems that Casillas's attack on the New York Temple last time was just a simple sabotage, and Lin Rui himself just happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.

"It shouldn't be...... Casillas has come out, and it stands to reason that the current Earth Mage line should have been in a mess a long time ago. Even if there is an ancient mage in the field, there shouldn't be nothing!" Walking on the road to Thor's apartment, Lin Rui muttered puzzled.

Because of the main quest released by the system, Lin Rui is now very concerned about the situation on the other side of the earth.
