Chapter 661: Strange
"I'll be back as soon as I can." Grell left in a hurry after dropping this sentence, leaving Stark alone in the lab to continue working on his Veronica system, the Mark44 reloaded mech is only a part of Veronica, and also includes a ground reconnaissance satellite that can count leaves, an arsenal, a prison-style isolation warehouse, a communication module that connects Stark's industrial communication satellites, and so on.
Veronica represents the crystallization of Stark Industries' highest technology, integrating countless high-tech technologies, and can also maneuver in space like a spaceship to evade attacks or quickly reach a designated area, or launch an attack on outer space.
Stark, who has obtained a lot of futuristic and alien technologies, almost overturned the original Mark44 design and spent nearly a year redesigning Mark44, in addition to the ion cannon in the palm of his hand and the laser beam on his shoulder, he also integrated an energy barrier, which greatly increased Mark44's defense.
As for other metacomposites, experimental nano-repair equipment mounted on important parts, anti-gravity engines, flight stabilizers, etc., they are basically updated, and there are too many new technologies applied, so the Mark 44 has also become an experimental model, preparing for the next generation of heavy mechas.
While Stark was busy with his private work, Grell also took the elevator to the parking lot downstairs, summoned the Decade motorcycle, put on his helmet, twisted the accelerator, and the motorcycle immediately jumped out, rushed out of the silent underground parking lot, and shuttled through the crowded Manhattan road at a very fast speed, counting the time to wait for the red light, it only took five minutes to arrive at 177A Brick Street.
drove the motorcycle into the courtyard, put the helmet on the back seat, and walked towards the gate of the Twisting Temple, the Decade motorcycle behind him shrank rapidly, and in an instant it turned into a card, and rushed towards Greel, who was facing away from him, raised his hand, grabbed the card with two fingers, and with a movement of his heart, the card disappeared, and it was already back in the knight's card box.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the Twisting Temple, he saw that the guardian of the Twisting Temple, Master Daniel Drum, was coming down from the hundred-year-old staircase and saluted Grell quite respectfully, "Venerable. ”
"Mage Daniel!" Grell returned the salute.
Hurry away, they are very busy and do not stop greetings, the guardians of the temple are not only staying in the temple, there are many things to do, guarding against the invasion of other dimensions, maintaining the magic protection network of the temple, teaching the guardian mages to which the temple belongs, etc., there are many things to be busy.
Through the spatial door of the Twisting Temple, you will instantly come to Kama Taj, which is built in the depths of the iceberg and snow, and in one step, you will go from a high-rise building of reinforced concrete to an ancient complex of buildings with almost no houses of three floors or more.
Whether it is a house or a corridor, the building materials are mainly wood and stone, and since its completion, the magic array has been blessed by successive generations, so that this ancient building complex can be maintained for thousands of years without decay, immortality, collapse, or collapse, and even under the auspices of the ancient mage, the modernization has been completed.
Pulled wires, broadband, installed WiFi, lights, refrigerators, air conditioners, absolutely keep pace with the times, do nothing and close to the outside world, go out and change into suits, denim and other clothing, no different from people other than Kama Taj.
But today everyone is wearing the traditional costume of Kama Taj, even Grell has deliberately returned to the room assigned to him, changed into a 2.0 version of the wizard's costume, and changed some bells and whistles to become Kama Taj compared to the first generation.
On the training ground of the Kama Taj Center, which is the size of a football field, many magic apprentices gathered together, and looked with a little envy at the 'graduate' Stephen Strange who walked up to the stone platform step by step, he passed all the tests and officially became an arcane mage.
Grell stood in the middle of the high platform, and according to the fixed process, first explained the purpose of Kama Taj to protect the world, and then talked about the rules of Kama Taj Mage: no magic can be used for personal gain, magic is used to protect not show off, and swear to protect Kama Taj and the earth......
Then Stephen Strange swore on his knees at the residence of the Supreme Master of the Li Dynasty in the East, that is, repeating the above words, the ceremony was quite serious, the oath was not just talking, breaking the oath was really death.
Once a mage is found to have broken his oath, Kama Taj will send mages including the Supreme Mage to hunt him down, which is surprisingly consistent with Kunlun, and he will never be soft on the betrayer, strict rules and merciless killing, maintaining the mystery of Kama Taj and the unrelenting spell.
Not all mages want to stay in Kama Taj and continue to learn advanced spells, many apprentices complete their studies, and in the face of strict regulations, they retreat and leave Kama Taj to live an ordinary life. Kama Taj will not stop it, as long as you don't use spells casually, just return to human society, after all, not everyone can endure the life of an ascetic, but only to protect others, not to seek power and money for themselves.
Otherwise, the king would not be so poor that he could not afford to eat a hamburger, and he would only buy a sandwich to stuff his teeth for two hundred roubles when he took out his pocket. After all, Kama Taj does not charge tuition, and she still cares about food, shelter and clothes, so naturally she will not pay her salary, and it is inevitable that she will be poor if she only cares about learning spells.
While Greer was wandering the world, Stephen Strange, with the help of the King, fulfilled all his vows, the last step was to change the gray-white magic apprentice uniform to the blue arcane mage's uniform, and to receive a magic weapon.
Grell picked up the mystical suit from the table next to him, handed it to Stephen Strange, who was holding it with both hands, and then placed the axe of Angaromus on top of the mage's suit, and said, "Congratulations, Strange Mage!" ”
"Venerable!"
The ceremony ended, the envious magic apprentices dispersed, and continued to practice the gestures, spells, footwork, etc. of magic skills, while the new Strange Mage put on coarse cloth clothes that had nothing to do with beauty and luxury, and checked the axe of Angaroms that he had selected before the ceremony.
Stephen Strange looked at the axe in his hand and the 'new clothes' on his body, and then looked at the ugly scar on his ten fingers like centipedes, and his hands couldn't stop trembling slightly, let alone picking up the scalpel again, even if he couldn't write well.
As he was walking down the hallway to get back to his room, he heard a crisp voice behind him: "You don't look happy, Mage Strange." ”
Stephen Strange didn't need to look back to know who it was, but he quickly turned around, bowed his head, and said, "Venerable!" ”
Grell returned the salute, looked at Doctor Strange with the axe, and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with the magic weapon you chose?" Maybe you can go back and have a better look, maybe there's a more suitable one. ”
"No, thank you, I'm satisfied."
"So... Are you worried about your hand injury? Greel's gaze was on Strange's scarred hands, especially when he held the Axe of Angarumus.
Strange didn't answer, but turned his head away from making eye contact with Greer, apparently acquiescing.
"Kama Taj has a lot of people who come to learn magic for a variety of purposes, from wanting to resurrect their deceased loved ones with magic, to gaining great power...
The Ancient One Mage once told you that magic is a method of using energy, and the spells that activate magic are like computer programs, building the source code of the real world, and the functions of the programs depend on the person who edited the program, and all spells were created by successive Supreme Mages. ”
"I know!"
Grell gave his advice: "Then you might try to create new spells to heal your hands." ”
"Me? Create new spells? Strange was a little surprised, he had never had such an idea in a few years since he had studied magic, just like a high school student who had just started calculus and would never think about how I could make a mathematical conjecture that no one had come up with.
"Why not?" Grell continued to walk forward, motioning for Strange to follow, and walked into the center of Kama Taj, which is also the core node of Kama Taj's protective net, but the small room guards the entire earth.
It was the first time Strange had arrived in the restricted area, and as soon as he entered the Kama Taj, he was told that he was not allowed to trespass: the residence of the Supreme Mage, the library, and several other areas, and this was one of them.
"This is the center of Kama Taj, or the center of Midgard," Greer said, placing his hand on the high platform in the center, and the magic surged, so that the unpretentious stone platform was glowing with golden light, and quickly flowed through the room of less than ten square meters, and finally converged on the ceiling into a 3D model of the earth, and there were countless golden nets crisscrossing the surface, almost enveloping the earth.
"This protective net from the three temples is the first line of defense of the earth, used to resist the invasion from the multiverse and the other dimension, as long as there are three temples, the safety of the earth can be guaranteed, the temple protects the earth, and the mage protects the temple, this is the duty that has been handed down since the first supreme mage Agomoto..."
At the beginning, it was the duties of Kama Taj, and slowly began to involve Dormammu, the Supreme Mage's mysin, so that Strange finally couldn't help but ask, "Venerable, why are you telling me this?" ”
"Because you are the next Supreme Mage chosen by the Ancient One."
"What?" Strange was surprised and almost threw the axe away.
"I'm just being ordered to help protect Kama Taj for a while, and you're the real successor, the Ancient One has said that you have infinite potential, perhaps, to surpass her and become the strongest Supreme Mage."
"No, no, no, I... I... I just..."
"You're just here to heal your hands, not to fight some mystical war against all sorts of other-dimensional creatures, but Mage Strange, burying your head in the sand won't make your enemies retreat. The Earth has never been at peace, and has been facing various invasions all the time.
There should be a network here, you've also seen the Avengers fight an alien invasion, and the overlap of the Nine Realms in London... As an official arcane mage today, you will also begin to participate in the expulsion and extermination of otherworldly creatures.
There is never a quiet time, just because someone carries a weight forward. ”
Grell withdrew his hand from the high platform, the golden room lost its magic supply, quickly returned to its original stone color, and looked directly at Strange who was a little helpless across the high platform, and said, "I will continue to serve as the Supreme Mage for a while until you are ready to take on this heavy responsibility." ”
The creatures of the underworld of Heim have been eroded by the breath of death since birth, and a little bit of death, they become zombies, decay into bone soldiers, decay into ghosts, and finally become death, absorbed by the plants of the underworld, become edible fruits of living beings, and then repeat.
Thor and Loki arrived in the Heim Underworld, were defeated by Hela, took advantage of the overlap of the Nine Realms to escape, and went to Asgard to carry out a massacre, Grell returned to Asgard with Thor and Loki to fight against Hela, and sent the Asgardians away with the Rainbow Bridge, and after the break, Grell completely destroyed the Rainbow Bridge, and he fell into the abyss.
When he woke up, he found himself on Saka Star, becoming a fighter of Gao Tianzun, Greer managed to steal the remote control, untied the control of all slaves, and took advantage of the civil strife on Saka Star to steal Gao Tianzun's spaceship, rushed into the largest hole, and reached the vicinity of the space pole.
Captured by the collector thinking he was his brother, he found the K-Touch (PSP) there, and wanted to steal it with the mirror space, but was easily blocked by the collector, and also detained Gao Tianzun's spaceship, Grell decided to exchange the power gem for the PSP, and by the way, he attracted Ronan to the collector to avenge himself.
After eliminating Ronan, Grell said goodbye to the Guardians of the Galaxy and returned to Earth, just in time for the convergence of the Nine Realms, the dark elves invaded with the support of Thanos, Grell mobilized the castle dragon to participate in the battle, Loki made the frost giant turn against the water at a critical moment, becoming the key point to defeat the dark elves and flame giants, and informed Thor that the Asgardians of Warnerheim and Alfheim that the dark elves said were all saved by him, so he was the most suitable to be the king of Asgard.
Kama Taj's traitors rebelled against the waters and took the opportunity to blow up the Twisting Temple and the Hong Kong Temple, causing Dormammu to invade, and the Ancient One drove Dormammu away in the same way. As a last resort, Grell stepped forward in this moment of crisis, defeated the dark elves as a fearless hero, took over the title of Supreme Mage, and the castle dragon became the new Kama Taj.
After the Nine Realms Convergence Event, Hydra was busy studying the spatial rift in Stonehenge, causing the death energy of Heim's underworld to invade the earth, and Lord Man was excavated and harnessed the undead bone dragon, and was defeated by Greel, and the undead bone dragon signed a master-servant contract and became a magic dragon, allowing Kamen Rider Wizard to advance.
Hela's army also entered the earth through this rift, and Greer found Thor to fight against Hela, and finally killed Hela and completely wiped out Hela's undead army by destroying Asgard
