Immortality is not too unusual in the bizarre magical world. People like Salomon who stand at the top of the magical world can easily point out a few people who have lived for at least a thousand years, such as the Syrian prophet in the tenth century AD.
He is not an outstanding figure. Even Balthazar, who was deceived by Merlin, has lived from the time of Camelot to the present, and is even enjoying the sweet love that was over a thousand years late. Even Salomon was
The research and development work carried out within the Immortal City is also related to immortality of human beings, and this is immortality without the help of magic.
So what made him curious was not the immortal prophet, but the destiny connection between that prophet and him. He had a hunch that all of this might be related to him. But now is not the time to explore these things.
Because there is still a lot of work waiting for him to complete.
"Merry Christmas, Wanda Maximoff." As a frequent shopper of high-end consumer goods, Salomon's mailbox was filled with greeting cards from various stores at Christmas. He put Christmas tree stickers cut out from the gift list.
On Wanda's clothes, this experiment in the lonely Hydra base can feel the Christmas atmosphere.
Both the Maximov siblings received gifts from Salomon, and Wanda also gave her recent achievements as a gift. She has made sufficient progress in mental control, and has developed spells in despair, panic, and charm.
She was very good at it, but when it came to energy control, Wanda was still very unfamiliar.
However, Salomon did not blame her. After all, it had not been long since Wanda Maximoff learned how to cast spells as a superpower. It was pure fantasy to ask her how proficient she was. The mystic often asked Wanda not to be impatient and to be patient.
The first virtue of a spellcaster is that being too hasty will often only fall into the enemy's trap - Salomon did not explain who the enemy was, and Wanda's own understanding was also very different from Salomon's idea.
It is absolutely impossible for him to tell Wanda the truth about Sithorne, because just one of Sithorne's handwritten letters will cause ordinary people to go insane, contact Sithorne in the Dark Fortress, and cause the entire planet to fall into darkness.
, became the delicacy of the Great Shadow. The connection between Wanda Maximoff and Sithorne was too close, and everything Salomon did was to prevent her soul and body from falling into the hands of the Great Shadow, resulting in
The seal of Gaia, the Mother Earth Goddess, has been broken.
The group of wizards led by Merlin had sacrificed most of their lives in the process of strengthening the seal. They used their souls to bind the behemoth. Salomon would never let their sacrifices go to waste.
"I had a dream." Wanda said about her recent dream.
This is Salomon's request. Wanda must report her mental state to him. Dreams are the key. Many depravities begin from dreams, and dreams are the avenue to the subconscious. Through dreams, Wanda can be aware of Wanda's mental state.
She told the mystic about the blue shadows wriggling in the darkness and the suffocating slippery tentacles, as well as the oppressive feeling like sinking into the deep sea. Salomon could observe it in her eyes.
fear.
"This is not a big problem." Salomon said lightly, as if Wanda's dreams were the normal state of spellcasters, and he didn't take it to heart at all. "Why don't you chat with me." He said,
"I won't ask you to do too much training today."
Psychological problems can easily lead to corruption, which is a consensus in the magic community.
Don't look at the bunch of magicians in Wumen Bar who claim to be black magic masters and voodoo majors. They all like addictive drugs and bugs, their eyes always shine from taking drugs, and each one is more skilled than the other in dissecting monsters.
But Wanda’s magic is basically unparalleled dark magic. If Wanda goes crazy, none of the people in the Doorless Bar can match her. Except for the Dormammu believers who have been eradicated from the earth, no one can use the magic power of Wangda.
It's even darker and more terrifying.
"I don't have anything to say." Wanda shrugged, "Do you want to hear how I french fries in a fast food restaurant and fill my stomach with Pietro?"
"Okay, let's change it. Let's first learn how to identify vampires, how to find vampires hiding in the vast crowd, and how to chop off their heads. These various monsters have different sources of mutation.
, not all monsters are produced by Disney, and they will not bleed if their heads fall off. In the magical world, being dirty and smelly is basically the norm, and only we, Kama Taj, are cleaner." Salomon opened the books he brought today.
"What I brought you is Kama Taj's teaching material, which also comes with hand-drawn pictures. This is a children's version and is very suitable as an introductory teaching material."
"There are still children in the magical world?" Wanda frowned. She couldn't imagine how a child could go through the kind of training she had before. Until she saw Salomon pointing at her.
"Children from magic families will only receive basic education and will not start learning magic until they reach adulthood. Only after the brain is fully developed can a person's talent for magic be reflected. Underage spellcasters can only serve as apprentices," the mystic said.
, "I am an exception. I started learning magic when I was ten years old. Before that, I went through five years of martial arts training and theoretical study beyond ordinary people, so I made rapid progress when I was learning magic. My spell-casting ability is on par with
Practical combat abilities have been fully guaranteed. In order to ensure your survival, I focus on training your spellcasting ability, but theoretical study cannot be left behind. When you have the opportunity to leave here, maybe you can get into college."
"I don't want to go to college, I want to take revenge!"
"After taking revenge, you have to go to college." Salomon pretended to push up the rimless glasses he got out of nowhere, "Your spellcasting ability does not require you to make precise calculations, but you have to practice it in front of the cashier.
Your ability to perform mathematical calculations does not support you on the path of magic. Mathematics is a language, a language that explains the world. It can give you different perspectives on the world and strengthen your spellcasting ability. Reason is how you view the world.
In the right way, mathematics can prevent human beings from falling into ignorance. So mathematics and advanced mathematics are compulsory courses for you. After we finish talking about the vampires of the thirteen clans, you will start to learn quadratic equations."
"Does this have anything to do with you teaching me the secret of counting?" Wanda took out a set of tarot cards from under the pillow. This tarot card was a small gift and teaching prop given to her by Salomon, along with Wanda
The Ouija Board, previously obtained from Hydra researchers, has become the main teaching tool for the course on magic.
Tarot cards are used for prophecies, and Ouija boards are used to inquire about the past.
"In case you can't find a job after you go out, you might be able to use these things to find a job as a psychic." Salomon said, "I really didn't lie to you. Even in the United States, the police will seek out psychics.
We can't say that they are purely superstitious, we can only say that what they are looking for are rotten fish and shrimps, and there are many mistakes in reading tarot cards, let alone using a Ouija board. If you learn this
With your craftsmanship, you might even be able to make a fortune if you are a well-educated psychic!"
"The premise is that you have a degree. Come and take this test paper. This is a mathematics test paper for junior high school students. Don't look over there. Your brother is also taking the exam. He works harder than you."
