Chapter 1043: Hanging the Ring
It's a test, a trial.
Although Stephen Strange and Wang possess the strength of official mages, they must pass this trial to obtain the title of official mage and obtain the qualification to possess the Hanging Ring.
Originally, the trial arranged by the Ancient One for the two of them was not here, even if Sophia Cosimo went to great lengths to find it from the Himalayas, the Ancient One still refused.
Although this matter itself has a problem with Kama Taj, the Ancient One mage does not want Stephen Strange and Wang to get involved, this matter is too dangerous.
On the surface, it is just to find three hanging rings, and it should be easy to find Sophia Cosimo and a map, but in fact, this is not the case, each one has a powerful ability, it is impossible to snatch them hard, and the strength of Strange and Wang is not enough.
If the three hanging rings all stood on opposite sides in the end, I am afraid that only the ancient one mage himself would be able to take them all down.
But now because of Casillas's threat, the Ancient One Mage can't move at all, and he originally wanted to wait for Casillas's matter to be over, and then retrieve the three hanging rings, but when Sophia Cosimo told him about it, he realized that the matter was imminent.
Sophia Cosimo is not the only one looking for the three rings, perhaps she leaked relevant information during the investigation, which led a group of unknown forces to hunt her down, and tried to snatch the archival documents and maps in his possession, and even followed Kama Taj all the way.
To tell the truth, if Sophia Cosimo hadn't taken the road in the Himalayas, if he had come from Nepal to enter Kama Taj, I am afraid he would have been caught by the enemy in ambush in Nepal.
That is, among Kama Taj, Sophia Cosimo's safety can still be guaranteed, once she leaves Kama Taj, even if the Ancient One mage uses the Dimensional Gate to send her far away, those people can still find her again and snatch the relevant archives and maps from her.
As for the identities of those people, the Ancient One Mage did not say it directly, but if he could make him jealous, it can be seen that the strength of the other party is definitely not weak.
The earth is so mysterious, so mysterious that even a mage as strong as the ancient one doesn't know how many strong people there are on the earth.
More than 1,000 years ago, the six major gods of the earth have been evacuated, the Nordic Aesir gods, the Olympian gods, the Greek gods, the Egyptian gods, the Chinese gods, and the Holy See, have severed their ties with the earth.
For example, in Asgard, not only did they have a Berserker on Earth, but there was also a Valkyrie who was rumored to be there.
The Chinese god system left behind a Kunlun City, and every once in a while Kunlun City would appear in the world, communicating with the outside world and collecting intelligence information.
Ling Xiao doesn't have much contact with the other major god systems now, and he doesn't know much about their strength, but this doesn't mean that they won't have a relationship in the future, so he never despises them, these people's strength is too strong.
The enemy he faced this time was enough to make the Ancient One mage jealous, so he didn't want his heir Stephen Strange to get involved easily, he originally just wanted Sophia Cosimo to stay in Kama Taj for one night, and then stop sending her away, but he didn't expect Ling Xiao to come to the door.
The town of Sellin is located in Massachusetts, USA, north of Boston, dozens of kilometers away from the US-Canada border, and Ling Xiao's group is the destination here.
And Selin Town is also very famous in the United States, this is a famous witch town, although so far, Ling Xiao has not had contact with witches, but this does not mean that he has not collected relevant information about them, only one sentence, witches are not easy to mess with.
When the group arrived, they saw a politician pitching his ideas to the public in preparation for next year's midterm elections.
"Dear fellow countrymen, if you can send me to Washington, I will promise that I will make reforms, and I will give my life to guarantee that my heart will not change." The man who said this was a relatively handsome middle-aged man in a bespectacled suit and leather shoes, who said in the usual tone of a politician: "I am the son of Sellingtown, Ricky White, and I will always fight for everything we have until I do my best......"
"Are you sure we're really going to see him?" Stephen Strange was not interested in the politician named Ricky White and couldn't help but question Sophia Cosimo who made the proposal.
"Hmm!" Sofia Cosimo nodded and said, "If we want to find that hanging ring in this town, it is necessary to seek the approval and assistance of the official forces, which will save us a lot of time, especially in the current situation. ”
Sofia Cosimo's map basically lost its usefulness as soon as it came to the small town of Selin, which was not small, with at least a few thousand people, and there were many powerful witches hiding in it, and if you searched for it, you would only come across a blood.
Stephen Strange shrugged indifferently, and the king on the side didn't express any opinion, as for Ling Xiao, he is not here now, many things need to be handled by these three people through mutual consultation, if Ling Xiao intervenes directly, this matter will not be called a trial.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sophia Cosimo met with a senator named Ricky White under the guidance of a sexy and hot secretary.
The female secretary knocked lightly on the door before reminding Ricky White inside, "Senator, your appointment for three o'clock has arrived." ”
In the office at this time, Ricky White was discussing with his staff about the modification of the speech picture taken this morning, and when he saw the female secretary at the door, he stood up directly and said to the others: "I'm very satisfied with this, but my hairstyle is messy, and I'll deal with it later." ”
"Yes, sir." Ricky White's staff nodded at the same time, glanced at Sophia standing in the doorway, with a hint of amusement in their eyes, and then left the office one after another.
Sophia Cosimo frowned slightly, she vaguely felt that something was not quite right, but now, she was not allowed to leave directly.
At this time, Ricky White laughed and said, "Hello, Dr. Dee Cosimo, when Goliath told me a ...... I couldn't resist a successful young woman asking to see me. ”
It turned out to be a pervert, Sophia Cosimo vaguely understood, and she said politely: "You really won the prize." ”
By this time, the secretary Goliath had closed the door, and there were only two people in the room, Ricky White and Sophia Cosimo.
A smug smile appeared on Ricky White's face, and he followed suit, "You're welcome, relax, what can I do to help you?" ”
A hint of gloom flashed in Sophia's eyes, and she did not ignore the hint of ill-will that flashed on Ricky White's face, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "I work for the Museum of Ancient Mythology in Rome, and we specialize in finding and researching ......"
"What to look for and study?" Ricky White suddenly approached Sophia's face and laughed flirtatiously, "I'd like to listen to your accent all night." ”
In the face of Ricky White's naked and undisguised teasing, Sophia clenched her fists, eager to smash Ricky White's face in the next moment, and she said with a fierce face: "I don't need that long, I'm just studying the magic artifacts in Salen Town." ”
"Magical artifacts." Hearing this, the frivolity on Rachel White's face disappeared instantly, he turned around, poured Sophia a glass of wine, and said in a light tone: "I'm afraid our family hanged the last witch 400 years ago, this is sherry, taste it." ”
Sophia breathed a sigh of relief lightly and reached out to take the wine glass, however, immediately after, something suddenly swept from the corner of her eyes, her face changed, and she couldn't help but ask with a little trembling: "Senator, this ring of yours ...... It's fascinating! ”
"Oh, this!" Ricky White held up the pink diamond ring in his hand, chuckled, and said, "Don't worry, it's not a wedding ring." ”
"Hah, can I try it then?" Sophia's gaze was a little casual, and a little greedy, staring at the ring.
"Absolutely." Ricky White stared at Sophia, and the greed on his face was no longer hidden: "It depends on what you exchange for?" ”
