Something did happen.

When the king returned to the Kama Taj Library, his face darkened.

Mordo is also in the library.

Because at this time, on the table in the center, there is a corpse lying there.

Joseph, the librarian, was brutally murdered, and in the midst of the well-guarded Kama Taj, he died a horrific death.

Even before he died, he still protected the books on the table.

"Who did it?"

The king's face was unusually ugly.

As one of Kama Taj's librarians, Joseph was a very close friend of him.

Although the two don't see each other often, the relationship has always been good.

"I don't know."

"The early warning circle has not been activated."

Mordo shook his head, a sad expression on his face.

Although he and Joseph are not close friends, after all, they have known each other for so many years, not friends, but more like family.

"That is, this is done by insiders?"

The king was incredulous.

The Early Warning Circle is an alarm bell to warn outsiders of the intrusion of Kama Taj, and once triggered, the entire Kama Taj will fall into battle mode.

However, the early warning circle was not activated.

Then there is only one case.

Insiders do it.

"I'm not sure about this, after all, if someone bypasses the warning circle, it may also appear here."

Mordo shook his head and came up with another idea.

Although this probability is low, it does not mean that it does not exist, it is just a simple matter of probability.

"Master Hamill, inform Kama Taj everyone..."

"Assemble!"

-----------------

On the other side, when Ronan and the Ancient One returned to Earth from the dark dimension, a surging sense of rejection suddenly surged into Ronan's heart.

Subconsciously, he has to use dark energy to resist.

However, the Ancient One put his hand on his shoulder and prevented him from doing so.

"Don't worry, this is the rejection of the will of the earth against the creatures of the dark dimension."

"The first time I traveled to the Dark Dimension, I had the same experience as you."

Ancient One's voice rang out.

"Okay teacher, then what should I do."

Ronan immediately controlled the dark energy in his body.

At this time, he could feel that all the previous mana in his body had been transformed into dark energy.

In other words, except for the consciousness of a human being at the moment, his body may be a human body, but in other aspects, it is almost the same as a dark creature.

Presumably, the same is true of the ancient one who absorbs dark energy all year round to sustain life.

"You don't have to do anything, just that these dark energies outside of your body will dissipate over time."

"Of course, I'll still cast a purification spell on you."

"After all, you have a lot of dark energy in your body than I do."

Gu Yi smiled, and a wave of energy appeared from her hand, from Ronan's shoulder, to his body.

The surging sense of rejection disappeared in an instant.

"Sure enough, it has to be you, teacher, otherwise I wouldn't know these things."

"So, don't think about retiring so early and wait for me."

Ronan twisted his neck, he was feeling really good now.

He's much better than before.

However, the ancient one smiled and didn't say much.

It's just that there is a rare trace of reluctance in her eyes.

Ronan, maybe the time has really come...

Koichi glanced at the walls of the cave, but her gaze seemed to pass through the walls and through the barriers of time.

She had seen her end more than once, but it seemed to be different every time.

Whether it is life or death, or other endings, the ancient one can accept it calmly.

"Teacher... Teacher? ”

Ronan screamed twice in a row.

He rarely saw the ancient one lose his mind.

The Ancient One turned his face and glanced at Ronan, then opened a portal.

"Let's go, let's go back."

With that, she stepped through the portal first, leaving only Ronan with a back.

Ronan was stunned, then shrugged.

Maybe no matter what age a woman is, she will have a little inexplicable temper?

Therefore, Ronan could only follow behind the Ancient One and walked through the portal.

When he reappeared, he was already in Kama Taj.

At this time, Kama Taj can be said to be a mess.

There were already quite a few people standing in the square, but there were still many people coming from all directions.

It looks like... Want to rebel?

Ahem, ahem.

"Ancient One, Ronan, you're finally back."

When these running mages saw Ancient One and Ronan, they had a relieved expression on their faces.

There were even a few people who breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were relieved.

"You are... What's wrong? ”

"Could it be that the king and Mordo have trained you to demons?"

Ronan glanced at the chaotic scene and couldn't help but be a little curious.

Kama Taj hasn't been like this in years.

"Master Joseph, the librarian, has died in the library."

One of the mages told Ronan the shocking news.

Is Joseph dead?

Or did he die in Kama Taj's library?

Could it be that Kama Taj has been invaded by someone and the target is Kama Taj's library?

Or is it ......

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, something came to Ronan's mind.

It won't be ......

Thinking of this, Ronan looked at the position of the Ancient One, only to find that the Ancient One was also looking at him.

The meaning of the ancient one is obvious, you are right.

"Master Mordo, we have already found out, Master Casillas and several mages who follow him are not in Kama Taj."

"But some claim to have seen them in the morning."

At this moment, a voice was heard not far away.

It was this news that made Ronan even more sure of what was going on.

Casillas defected, killed the librarian, and stole several pages from a book.

And that book, called "The Book of Cagliostro", is a book about time, the dark dimension, and so on.

"Supreme Venerable."

Wang and Mordo walked briskly.

"Is it Casillas?"

Gu nodded a little, and seemed to already know who the murderer was.

"That's right, Casillas and a few of his followers killed Joseph, tore off a few pages from the book of Cagliostro, and took him away."

】

"He betrayed Kama Taj!"

The king's face was very ugly, after all, Joseph had a really good relationship with him.

It can be said that the two have been friends for many years.

The two of them had known each other for a long time, even older than Ronan's age.

"I see, go tell the three temples and let them be more vigilant."

"Casillas knows something, and the most important thing we need to do is to protect the Sanctuary from the invasion of the dark dimension."

Gu Yi gave the first order.

The king nodded, and took the command.

"The others should not go out recently, in case they meet Casillas and the others, your strength is not as good as his."

"Mordo, you send someone to check the books in the library again to see if there are any other books missing."

The ancient one looked at Mordo.

Mordo nodded, bowed to the ancient line, and entered the library again with a few people.

"I'll take care of chasing him back, Ronan, and you go collect Master Joseph's body and inform his daughter."

"I remember he also has a daughter who is in college, you can help him with the funeral."

Ronan was also given the task.

It's just that Ronan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Teacher, I'll go and recover Casillas." ”

"After all, I'm more familiar with ......"

Originally, Ronan wanted to talk about the dark dimension, but the ancient one shook his head and refused.

"No, he's my disciple, and it's my responsibility to recover those pages and kill him."

"This is my responsibility as a teacher and as a Supreme Master."

Without waiting for Ronan to refuse, the Ancient One directly opened a door to the secret method and disappeared into Kama Taj again.

Looking at the disappearing back of the ancient one, Ronan couldn't help but shake his head.

Not wanting too much, Ronan found two mages with him and walked into the library.

When he entered the library, Mordo was standing aside, staring at Joseph's corpse in a daze.

Joseph had only one wound on his body, and he was stabbed to death in the back of the heart.

Although Kama Taj's mage is physically stronger than that of a normal person, the lethal position has not changed.

With a single stab, Joseph did not have time to react at all.

"Joseph is a good man."

"Maybe he never thought that among the Kama Taj who are all good people, someone would stab him in the back."

Looking at Joseph's corpse, Mordo seemed to be talking to himself.

"No organization is full of good people, and even in the history of Kama Taj, there have been many mages who have gone from protecting the earth to puppets of Mephisto or Dormammu because they couldn't resist the temptation of Mephisto or Dormammu."

"It can only be said that people always change."

Ronan sighed, he had told the king and Joseph as if he were joking.

Let them be careful of the danger from behind.

However, Joseph apparently did not take this matter to heart.

Perhaps, as Mordo said, he never thought he would be stabbed in the back one day, right?

"Can't the Supreme Venerable see the change in human nature?"

Mordo looked up at Ronan.

He seemed to mean something.

Ronan, however, shook his head with a wry smile.

"The Supreme Mage is also a human being, not a god."

"God can see through a man's nature, but mortals cannot."

"Perhaps, some people are very kind at the beginning, but they have experienced some changes in things, and there are many examples of great changes in their hearts."

"So, that's why it's so hard for humans to figure out."

It seems that Ronan's words persuaded Mordo, and he no longer looked at everything with an angry gaze.

Instead, it slowly calmed down.

"Yes, ever since you showed your talent, Casillas has been in a very unbalanced state of mind."

"I know what he thinks, maybe in his opinion, he's more talented than you."

"However, the Ancient One Mage has chosen you to be his heir."

Mordo looked at Ronan again, and there was no blame in his eyes.

Because he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Ronan.

Ronan is very good and talented, and even Mordo used to be jealous of Ronan.

However, Mordo soon found that he was really inferior to Ronan, so he corrected his mentality.

But Casillas couldn't.

"Perhaps, it is precisely because of his pride that the teacher is even more afraid to hand over Kama Taj into his hands."

"Kama Taj's duty is to live in seclusion on Earth and thus protect the safety of the Earth."

"If Casillas is made a Supreme Mage, it may not be long before Kama Taj becomes a terrorist organization."

"And it's a terrorist organization that no one can beat."

Ronan sighed, he didn't feel sorry for Casillas, he just felt that Joseph didn't deserve to die.

Mordo nodded, he still agreed with what Ronan said.

What kind of man Casillas was, he Mordo knew all the same.

Even if the Ancient One wanted to train Casillas to be the successor of Kama Taj, perhaps Mordo would not be willing to listen to his leadership.

"Help me visit Joseph's daughter."

"Try to put Joseph's death ..."

"Great point."

"His daughter adores him as a father."

Mordo looked into Ronan's eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of supplication in his eyes.

Ronan also had some mixed feelings in his heart.

"I know, don't worry."

With that, Ronan patted Mordo on the shoulder and signaled him not to be too sad.

In fact, now, the king should be comforted the most, but Gu Yi found him the busiest job.

Perhaps Gu Yi also understood that only busy work at this moment could make Wang temporarily let go of the sadness in his heart.

"By the way, if you're done checking, you can look for traces of Casillas."

"If you can't find him, you can find a few of his followers."

Ronan seemed to think of something.

"Didn't the Ancient One Master chase after him?"

"Do you think ......?"

Mordo looked at Ronan with some surprise.

Could it be that Ronan thinks that the ancient one will let Casillas go.

However, Ronan shook his head.

"There are a lot of them, and they don't necessarily all gather together, so I'm afraid they'll scatter and flee."

"And their goal is clear, that is, they want to summon the forces of the dark dimension to invade the earth."

"If one of them escapes, it's very dangerous for the earth."

"So, let's do a little bit of preparation in advance."

Ronan thought about it, and he felt that the Ancient One would not let Casillas go this time.

The reason is also very simple.

The reason why this happened in the 616 universe was that the ancient one wanted to train Strange and find an opportunity to retire.

However, in this universe, Ronan doesn't need any exercise at all, and the ancient one can't retire for the time being.

At least until Ronan completes that plan, retirement is impossible.

That's why Ronan had this guess.

It's just that for the sake of safety, Ronan decided to investigate.

After all, if Dormammu is really allowed to enter the earth, then the earth can basically be said to be cool.

What's more, in fact, Ronan's true thought in his heart is to make it impossible for the Ancient One to catch up with Casillas.

Then when the time comes, he can make a move.

Wang is Ronan's best friend, and his friend's friend was killed, and if Ronan doesn't make a move, then he is really sorry for Wang.

So......

Casillas's ending, is already obvious.
