Peter Parker frowned, lost in memory.

After a few moments, Peter Parker slowly spoke: "I was walking on the road normally that day, and suddenly I felt a great fear coming, and then I became dizzy and uncontrollable. ”

"Then I was hit hard by the truck and lost consciousness."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran frowned and said, "Parker, did you drink stranger's water before the accident?" Eat something special? ”

Peter Parker shook his head and said, "Godfather Jake, in order for you and Godfather Tony to get back together, I've been with Godfather Tony these days. ”

"I will eat whatever he eats."

"On the morning of the day the gift was prepared for you, nothing out of the ordinary happened."

"Everything is normal, there's nothing weird about it."

Hearing this, Zhou Ran nodded, and asked, "If you say this, all this is just an accident, right?" ”

Peter Parker nodded and smiled wryly, "Yes, Godfather Jake, I think it was probably an accident. ”

"Godfather Jake, I don't think anyone is going to target me, because I'm just a normal student at Midtown High School."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran sighed and said, "Okay, Parker, you're right, it's probably because I'm thinking too much." ”

"Parker, you have a good rest here, I'll call Tony and Potts and let them come and accompany you."

With that, Zhou Ran slowly got up.

Peter Parker looked at Zhou Ran, who was getting up, and asked, "Godfather Jake, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Ran smiled and said: "I'll go find a cure for you, you wait here with peace of mind, don't go anywhere, don't worry, don't worry about me." ”

When Peter Parker heard this, he nodded very obediently.

Zhou Ran took out his mobile phone and called Tony Stark as he walked out.

The call was answered quickly.

“jake…… Is Parker's kid awake? ”

Listen to Tony Stark's eager voice

Hearing this, Zhou Ran pushed his glasses, nodded and smiled: "That's right, Tony, Parker is awake, come and take a look." ”

"Okay, I'll come over here."

"By the way, you can help me call Parker's Uncle Ben and Aunt May and let them know."

"Okay."

Zhou Ran hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and walked out of the ward.

……

The morning sun is scattered over the skyscrapers that dot Manhattan.

Zhou Ran, dressed in a black suit, walked through the busy street and stood in front of an ancient building.

The building looks unremarkable, from the outside it looks like a very ordinary three-story structure, with a somewhat dilapidated outer skin of the walls, closed doors and windows to exude the smell of time.

】

Mottled.

Old.

Precipitation.

This is Zhou Ran's impression of the past at first glance.

This is 177A Brick Street.

There's another name here, the New York Temple.

Although it was built in the heart of bustling Manhattan, none of the people on the street noticed the New York Temple.

Zhou Ran knew very well that this was because the Ancient One had added a ban to the New York Temple.

Only those with magical powers can see and walk into the New York Temple.

Those who do not have magical powers cannot perceive it, and even if they accidentally perceive something unusual about the New York Temple, they will be forgotten in an instant due to the prohibition.

The mystery side and the reality side are like two parallel worlds that never meet.

And the Ancient One is the one who separates these two worlds.

Zhou Ran breathed a long sigh of relief and walked to the door of the temple.

The quaint ring worn on the index finger lit up with a golden light.

"Crunch".

Two ancient wooden doors open.

In the ancient and mysterious hall, there are various murals full of history and mystery, books are spinning and flying, and a fat man in an orange mage robe is facing away from Zhou Ran, and his hands are drawing golden marks in the air one after another.

Beside the fat man, a red head canopy was hanging quietly in the air, as if watching the fat man's behavior.

"Supreme Venerable, you wait a minute, this place will be fine immediately." Wang, who heard the sound of the door opening, smiled.

Zhou Ran nodded, came to the sofa, and sat down slowly.

The red cloak jumped twice in the air and came to Zhou Ran's side.

After two turns.

The head puff stretched out and turned into a long red cloth, wrapped around Zhou Ran's body, rubbing Zhou Ran's face very affectionately, as if he was flattering.

Zhou Ran frowned and said, "Be quiet." ”

Toupeng lowered his head and sat honestly beside Zhou Ran, like a child who knew his mistakes.

The king stopped what he was doing, turned around, looked at the scene in front of him, and said with a smile: "Supreme Venerable, it likes you very much, and it is coquettish to you. ”

"This is the Demon Floating Cloak, a magic weapon handed down from ancient times, it has its own consciousness, it can fly, and it can also resist attacks and protect its master. This is specially brought by the Ancient One, and it can protect your safety. ”

Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "King, don't call me Supreme Venerable, I don't have enough capital to protect the earth now." Call me Jake or Zhou Ran. ”

The king nodded and said, "The Ancient One Venerable asked me to obey your orders, but it is really rude to call you by your name directly, if I really do this, I will probably be scolded to death by the mages of later generations." ”

"Why don't I just call you by your last name and leave your name out."

Zhou Ran nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Wang stretched out his hands to draw a golden circle, took out a pot of boiling tea from the circle, and said with a smile: "Zhou, come and taste the specialties of your hometown, there is no such good thing in New York." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Ran sighed and said, "It's true, Americans don't taste tea, they only drink some wine." ”

Wang conjured two cups, poured the hot tea into them, waved his hand, and the cups full of tea arrived in front of Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran took the teacup, took a sip, and couldn't help but sigh: "Magic is really convenient!" ”

Wang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This is also the reason why the Ancient One Venerable sent me here, I am not very talented in magic, so I want to study magic in every way." ”

"Finally making magic a part of my life, I use it all the time, and this way has also made me very strong, and I'm at least in the top five on Kama Taj."

Wang raised his thick and powerful palms, and a proud smile spread across his face.

After hearing this, Zhou Ran nodded, remembering Wang's performance in battle, his strength was much stronger than Strange, and in the actual use of magic, the two were not of the same magnitude at all.

Wang's disadvantage may be that he doesn't have the talent of Doctor Strange Strange, and he doesn't have the talent that can match the eye of Agamotto.

Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Wang, what were you doing just now?" What are those golden trails? ”

The king smiled and replied, "Oh, Zhou, your talent in magic has never been seen before, and no one has ever been. ”

"Even the god of white magic we believe in, the Trinity Emperor Weishan, has issued high praise to you."

"Therefore, the speed at which you absorb magical energy is definitely not comparable to us."

"There is a lot of magical energy in the New York Temple, but it's not enough for you to absorb."

"So, I just set up a magic array, which can speed up the transformation of magical energy."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran smiled and said, "Wang, thank you." ”

Wang hurriedly shook his head and said, "Zhou, you will definitely not be just a Supreme Mage in the future, you will become a powerful Dharma God in the future." ”

"To be able to witness you become a Dharma God is enough to make me proud for the rest of my life. The one who should say thank you is me, you have given me the opportunity to see the scenery that I can't see in this life. ”

"By the way, Zhou, is there anything you came here for today?"

"I heard the Ancient One Venerable say that you have been very busy lately and will not come to the temple."

Zhou Ran nodded and said, "There is indeed something, my godson, a boy named Peter Parker, suffered a misfortune two days ago, and the bones in his body were shattered. ”

"I want to ask if the healing technique in white magic can heal him?"

"Are all the bones shattered?" Wang frowned and said, "In this case, the basic healing technique will not have any effect, and you will need to use the advanced white magic prayer technique." ”

"In other words, white magic can really heal him, right?" Zhou Ran's eyes lit up, and he said very happily.

The king nodded and said, "Well, every year Kama Taj will send some mages to heal the poor, spread the blessings of Emperor Vishan, benefit the world, and preach the gospel of the Ancient One. ”

"Zhou, white magic can definitely cure your godson."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Wang, thank you, I know how to use the prayer technique, so I'll go to the hospital." ”

When Wang heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Zhou, no, you can't use the prayer technique to treat your godson. ”

"Why?" Zhou Ran asked puzzled.

Wang Chang sighed and explained: "Zhou, you have just embarked on the path of magic now, at this stage, you must not use magic, you only need to increase the magic energy in your body now, and increase the transformation speed of magic energy." ”

"The amount of magical energy is the foundation of a mage."

"This stage determines your future and how far you can go on the path of magic."

"If you only want to be a Supreme Mage, not a Dharma God, you can use the Prayer Technique."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran frowned, even more puzzled.

He asked, "Wang, can you be a little more detailed?" ”

The king was silent for a moment, and replied expressionlessly: "This is what the Ancient One Venerable told me, and this matter also involves a secret of the Ancient One Venerable, if others ask me, I will definitely not say a word, but your words, I can speak freely." ”

"Actually, the magical energy we absorb is not only white magic."

"White magic is only the mildest of thousands of powers, and it is not harmful to the user."

"After learning the magic of Kama Taj, we belong to the vein of white magic, and we can convert a large part of the magical energy that is not white magic into white magic."

"This makes it seem that all the energy in our bodies is white magic, and as we continue to use white magic, the faster the transformation will be, and our bodies will gradually become only white magic."

Wang paused and continued: "But the white magic was created by Emperor Weishan, and if there is only white magic left in the body, even if you become a god of law, you are only a god of Emperor Weishan. ”

"Therefore, in the first stage of practicing magic, you must not use magic, but accumulate more magical energy."

"When the magical energy inside your body becomes a huge ocean, you are not afraid of this transformation."

"You have enough magical energy in your body that is not white magic for you to study, and there is a path to the gods hidden in these magical energies."

"In addition to white magic energy, the ancient mage's body also has black magic energy. It was because she absorbed countless magical energies at the beginning of accumulating magic, so that she could study black magic, and her body would not be similarly or differently from white magic. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what if I use not only white magic, but also the rest of the magic, then I can have many different kinds of magical energy in my body, and it will not affect the path of the law god." ”

The king shook his head and said slowly, "It seems that this method is feasible, but there is a very serious problem, there is no magic in this world that is milder than white magic. ”

"Black magic makes people evil and wants to destroy everything."

"Runic magic makes people lose their emotions, like cold wood."

"Soul magic makes people lose their sense of self."

"The magic of time bears a curse that can never be forgotten."

"Flame magic burns like fire, and finally turns into an eternal sun."

"Blood magic makes people smell filthy and sloppy......"

“……”

“……”

"As for what the legendary chaos magic can do? I don't know, because I haven't met anyone who can master the magic of chaos. ”

After listening to the king's words.

Zhou Ran nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, at this initial stage, you can only accumulate magical energy, right?" ”

"Then, the king will ask you to use the prayer technique to heal the child of Peter Parker."

After hearing this, the king nodded and said, "Well, Zhou, leave it to me, I will definitely cure that child." ”

Wang pointed to the Demon Floating Cloak beside Zhou Ran and said, "Zhou, you have to take it with you, this is a gift from the Ancient One Venerable, and it will guard your safety." ”

Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and said, "Can it really protect my safety?" It looks like a heart. ”

Wang smiled and said, "The Ancient One Venerable also said the same thing, it is very attentive, seeing one loves the other. ”

"But Zhou is different, there is absolutely no one in this world who can surpass you in magic."

"He's a smart kid, he's going to die for you."

Accompanied by the king's words.

The red cloak floated to Zhou Ran's side and rubbed Zhou Ran's face affectionately.

Zhou Ran sighed and said, "Wang, even if it is dead, I can't wear a red cloak every day to swagger through the market!" It's just stupid. ”

Heard Zhou Ran's words.

The red cloak spun around twice in place and vanished.

Seeing this, the king smiled and said, "It seems that it has grown again, and it has learned invisible magic." ”

"Zhou, you can rest assured now."

"You should give it a name, it's easy to shout."

"A name?" Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "In various stories in Europe, there have always been various legends of a legendary archmage, and that mage is called Merlin. ”

"From now on, I'll call you Merlin."

Heard Zhou Ran's words.

The red cloak suddenly appeared, and it looked very happy, cheering, and dancing in the temple.

Seeing this, Wang smiled and said, "Zhou, it's just a playful child." ”

Zhou Ran nodded and said, "Indeed, it's just that kind of three or four-year-old child." ”

"By the way, where are we going?" The king's hand lit up with a golden light, and a large golden circle was drawn in mid-air, and within the circle was the scene of a lake of mold.

"Room 303, Inpatient Department of St. Petersburg Hospital." Zhou Ran said.

"That's it." Wang smiled, and a picture of the St. Petersburg hospital appeared in the golden circle.

"Merlin, keep up." Zhou Ran stepped into the portal.

……

St. Petersburg Hospital.

Room 303 of the inpatient department.

Tony, Potts, Uncle Ben, and Aunt May sat around Peter Parker, comforting Peter Parker.

Peter Parker's face was full of smiles and optimism.

But in reality, his heart was in great pain.

He wanted to cry, he wanted to cry.

But he held back, he could not pass on his grief to his loved ones.

The four people in front of him are all his closest people.

For them, Peter Parker's smile will last a lifetime.

Winter! Winter! Winter!

There was a knock on the door.

Uncle Ben stood up, came to the door, and opened the door to the ward.

Gwen and Mary Jane each held a bouquet of flowers.

Uncle Ben frowned and said, "You are?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Gwen's mouth, and she said, "You're Parker's uncle, Mr. Ben, aren't you?" We were Peter Parker's classmates, my name was Gwen Stacy, and I came to see him. ”

Mary Jane smiled and said, "Uncle Ben, I'm Mary Jane Watson!" ”

"Mary Jane Watson......" Ben was stunned and said, "Oh, it's you, you've grown so big." When you were three years old, I hugged you. ”

"You stand here and wait."

With that, Uncle Ben closed the door and came to Peter Parker.

"Ben, what's wrong? Who's coming? Aunt Mei asked.

Uncle Ben sighed, looked at Parker, and said, "Peter, there are two girls, one is Gwen Stacy and the other is Mary Jane, they are both holding flowers, do you want to see them?" ”

When Peter Parker heard this, the smile on his face stopped abruptly, his expression became extremely lonely, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Peter Parker is silent, do I want to see him?

Do you want to show them what I look like now?

Look at Peter Parker's lonely appearance.

Tony Stark let out a long sigh and turned to look out the window.

Seeing this, Aunt Mei showed a smile on the corner of her mouth, gently stroked Peter Parker's face, and said in a very gentle tone: "Peter, follow your inner thoughts." ”

"Whatever decision you make, we're all behind you, standing behind you, cheering you on."
