Chapter 1201: Ancient One
Dongfang Yu and Strange, following behind Baron Morton, walked directly into the Maca Taj, although the Maca Taj does look inconspicuous on the surface, but after walking in, they can find that there is something inside.
On the top of the main hall, several old men can be seen, although this is the plane of Marvel, but these old men give people the appearance of fairy wind bones.
Just like in the original book, the ancient one mage politely brought out two cups of tea and handed them to Dongfang Yu and Strange respectively.
The Ancient One mage looked very young, so Strange only thought that she was a junior apprentice here, and after drinking tea, she spoke to an old man with fairy wind bones, obviously thinking of him as the ancient one mage.
For Strange's words, the old man with fairy wind bones did not answer, immediately got up, and left directly, just when Strange felt inexplicable, Gu Yi, who seemed to be a little guy next to him, opened his mouth and took over his words.
Strange was stunned to find out that the person who was regarded as his apprentice was the Ancient One Mage?
Ancient One Mage, talking to Strange, didn't take a second look at Dongfang Yu, if it weren't for the fact that he had also handed him a cup of tea just now, Dongfang Yu would almost have wondered if she had completely ignored herself.
However, Dongfang Yu didn't take the liberty of bothering the other party, just watched quietly, and the development of the plot was no different from the original work
Strange asked Gu Yi if his hands could be cured here, and Gu Yi did not deny it, after learning her affirmative answer, Strange was naturally excited and happy to ask if they had developed more high-end medical methods and technologies.
Soon, the Ancient One told him that the cure for his hands was not through higher medical technology, but through meditation and magic.
As a surgeon, Strange is naturally a materialist, and Strange is dumbfounded by the so-called magic to heal his hands, apparently completely disbelieving, and at the same time a little desperate in his heart.
I spent the last money to buy a one-way ticket to get here, but the other party replied that he actually wanted to rely on magic to heal his hands?
As in the original book, the Ancient One personally showed Strange the means of magic, pushing his soul out of his body, and then allowing him to travel through the multidimensional universe.
After experiencing this firsthand, Strange finally believed in the existence of magic, but when Strange wanted to stay and learn magic and heal his hands, the Ancient One refused to teach him and even kicked him out of Maca Taj.
Dongfang Yu ignored all this and didn't interject, as if he was a bystander.
It wasn't until Strange was thrown out that the Ancient One Master set his eyes on Dongfang Yu's body, looked at Dongfang Yu carefully for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Dongfang Yu, I've admired the name for a long time, I really didn't expect you to come to Maca Taj."
"Looks like she's heard about me?" , Hearing Gu Yi's words, Dongfang Yu muttered in his heart.
For this, Dongfang Yu is not surprised, the Marvel plane, he has been here twice, and it can even be said that he has done a lot of things twice, and it is not surprising that he will pay attention to his existence as an ancient one.
Dongfang Yu remembers that in the original book, the life span of the ancient one is very long, and even Baron Morton doesn't know how old the ancient one is, Dongfang Yu remembers that in the official setting of the original book, the ancient one seems to have been born in a village on this side of the Himalayas 500 years ago, if you look at it this way, she has survived for hundreds of years?
When Dongfang Yu first came to the Marvel plane, it was still the timeline of Captain America at that time, and it was only a few decades ago, so in Dongfang Yu's opinion, when he cooperated with Red Skull back then, he might have entered the sight of the ancient one.
Gu Yi's words made Dongfang Yu's heart full of thoughts, but Dongfang Yu's appearance was impassive, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Master Gu Yi, I have admired you for a long time."
"Oh?" , Dongfang Yu's words made Gu Yi's eyes flash.
She has admired the word Daimyo for a long time, of course she knows the meaning contained in it, this word does not apply to people who have just met, that is, not only did he already know the existence of Dongfang Yu, but he also knew himself?
Facing Dongfang Yu, Master Gu Yi regarded him as a peer, after inviting Dongfang Yu to sit down, the two sat across a table, Gu Yi ran two cups of tea with his own hands, and said: "Mr. Dongfang Yu visited today, what is the matter?" ”。
"My purpose for coming to Maca Taj this time is the same as that of Dr. Strange, to learn magic", looking at Gu Yi, Dongfang Yu said calmly, without the slightest intention of hiding the other party.
Dongfang Yu's words made Gu Yi's action of drinking tea slightly, and then put down the teacup in his hand, and stared at Dongfang Yu seriously for a moment.
Dongfang Yu's clear eyes let Gu Yi know that he was not lying, and after a slight silence, Gu Yi opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Dongfang Yu, with all due respect, with your strength, there is no need to learn the power of magic at all, right?" ”。
Gu Yi really thought it was incredible that Dongfang Yu wanted to learn the power of magic, although he had not seen Dongfang Yu make a move, but as a supreme mage, after taking a look at Dongfang Yu, he could roughly estimate his strength.
At this point, why did he suddenly spend time on the power of magic? If he had time to practice magic, he might as well spend his current strength on it and go to the next level.
For Gu Yi's words, Dongfang Yu didn't answer, and he didn't need to answer, anyway, the magic here must be learned, especially the space portal, and the ability to directly open the mirror space, of course, if the Eye of Agomo can be in his hands, of course, it would be better.
The infinite gem of the Marvel world, the eye of Agomoto is a time gem, and its value is not weaker than the cosmic cube of the space gem.
Dongfang Yu didn't speak, but his expression made Gu Yi clearly know what Dongfang Yu meant, he was determined to learn magic, but his motivation for learning magic was unwilling to reveal it to himself.
Promise? Or refusal? Gu Yi's heart groaned, and Dongfang Yu didn't speak, waiting for Gu Yi's answer.
After thinking for a while, Gu Yi seemed to remember that Dongfang Yu had defeated the Qirita people and those frost giants before, and thought that he had also protected the earth, so he nodded and said, "Although I don't approve of your choice, Mr. Dongfang, since you insist, Mr. Dongfang, I will naturally not hide it."
"Thank you Master Gu Yi", listening to her words, Dongfang Yu also knew that she had promised herself, Dongfang Yu said to Gu Yi with a thick smile on her face: "I will not take advantage of you for nothing, I will definitely return this kindness to you in the future."
Dongfang Yu's words made Gu Yi smile, and he didn't mean to be polite.
She is very aware of Dongfang Yu's power, Dongfang Yu's words she has no doubt at all, with his strength, he can help herself at some point, which is not surprising.
The two of them each raised their glasses and drank all the tea in the cup, which can be regarded as a consensus, but the words have been finished, but Gu Yi has no intention of leaving, after putting down the empty teacup, Gu Yi's eyes fell on Dongfang Yu's body again, with a somewhat curious look, and said: "Mr. Dongfang, how did you and Mr. Strange meet?" ”。
Gu Yi's words were obviously asking why he came to Maca Taj with Strange, Dongfang Yu smiled and said, "I met Mr. Strange by chance, or should I say that Mr. Strange's hands are injured because of me, so I suggest that he also come here to practice together."
Dongfang Yu introduced Strange here? This made Gu Yi ponder for a moment, and then looked at Dongfang Yu and asked, "Since Mr. Dongfang Yu introduced him, what do you think of Mr. Strange?" Can you tell us about that? ”。
For Gu Yi's words, Dongfang Yu smiled a little incomprehensibly and said, "Why does the mage need to ask me? Haven't you already seen what kind of person Strange is? Don't you have an idea of what to do with him at last? Strange is a very talented man, but his character does need to be polished."
"Well......", Dongfang Yu's words made the ancient first mage smile slightly, and nodded in agreement.
It is true that Strange's talent is very clear to the Ancient One, but his character is indeed something that the Ancient One is more worried about now.
Seeing that Gu Yi nodded in agreement, Dongfang Yu smiled slightly in his heart, and knew that his guess was not wrong, Dongfang Yu could also see that Gu Yi was very satisfied with Strange, and even Gu Yi was willing to take Strange in Maca Taj.
As for her kicking Strange out? This is just to polish Strange's character, otherwise, if the Ancient One is really unwilling to take Strange here, why bother to let him see the power of magic with his own eyes before? But what about Strange when he was willing to stay? This is a complete inconsistency, so Dongfang Yu speculated that the ancient one actually wanted to keep Strange behind.
In this way, Dongfang Yu stayed with Maca Taj to learn the power of magic, while Strange stayed at the door and was reluctant to leave, as in the original book, not to mention that he was now penniless, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't leave.
