Kama Taj under the Himalayas is now more and more prosperous, with an endless stream of tourists from all over the world. They either come to the ancient temple to pray devoutly, or to visit this once magical holy place, or they are suffering from illness.
Come here to find the legendary mage saint.
One of them was Stephen Strange, a top surgeon whose career ended prematurely due to a car accident half a month ago.
After a series of hardships, he finally got his wish and stayed in Kama Taj to practice magic. However, magic was more difficult than he imagined. After more than half a month of practice, he could not even communicate with nature in the simplest way using his spirit.
Energy, and then extracting the embodied magic energy lines and lines cannot be done.
"Master Casillas, don't I have the talent in this area? Other students can successfully draw the simplest energy lines in ten days at the latest, but I..." Strange looked at his trembling hands, his face
It was full of decadence.
Casillas smiled and said: "Like you, I once doubted that I had no talent, but now I have become a real mage."
Strange couldn't help but look at Casillas, with a trace of confusion and longing in his eyes.
"Stephen, anyone can practice magic, as long as you let go of your own inherent ideas and believe that there is magical energy in this world." Casillas said while drawing in the air with his hand, and soon energy lines appeared.
Come out and form a circular pattern.
"But my hands..." Strange shook his head in frustration.
Calicias's eyes moved to a man in a monk's robe in the distance, and shouted: "Master Hamil, please come here."
Master Hamil walked over quickly.
"Please show it to him." Calicias said respectfully.
Master Hamil, who was wearing a robe, remained silent, but stretched out his severed hand and quickly drew lines of magical energy in the air.
Strange's eyes widened, "He, he..."
"Master Hamil's hand had been amputated before he came to Kamal Taj, and he has now become a respected mage." Casillas said with a smile: "Stephen, you are still
Do you think it’s because of your own hands?”
Strange stared at his hands, then glanced at Master Hamil who was leaving, his thoughts fluctuating.
At this time, a layer of faint blue ripples suddenly appeared in the air, and then a figure walked out of the ripples.
"Mage Gary!" Casillas, who was just about to release the Seraphim Shield for defense, couldn't help shouting excitedly when he saw the familiar figure.
When the others saw Gary, they all breathed a sigh of relief and continued their previous practice.
Only Strange looked at the faint blue ripples in the air with a horrified face. Obviously, with his knowledge, he could not understand that a person could appear out of thin air.
Is this what magic is?
At this moment, Strange's original world view is collapsing.
"Casillas, we meet again." Gary smiled, but he was a little surprised. After all, according to the timeline, Casillas should have rebelled against Kamatai, absorbed dark energy and thrown himself into the arms of Dormammu.
.
Casillas took a deep breath and said, "Master Gary, I have a lot of confusions. I hope you can help me solve them."
Gary was startled, then nodded: "Okay, you can find me in the library later."
"Okay!" Casillas nodded heavily.
Gary glanced at Strange next to him, and then walked towards the front hall.
After Gary left, Strange couldn't help but ask: "Master Casillas, he is..."
"That's Master Gary, the most mysterious mage of Karma Taj. Like the ancient Master, he is a powerful existence that transcends time. I met Master Gary when I first came here. At that time, he was staying at Karma Taj.
It has been more than 40 years, and now he is still so young." Casillas said with admiration.
"What? Are you saying that Master Gary just now is over a hundred years old?" Strange stared, "He looks younger than me!"
Master Modu came over from nowhere and said, "The same goes for Master Ancient One. No one knows his age. Now Strange, you know that magic is real!"
Strange said nothing, but his expression said everything.
…
In the front hall with quite an ancient charm.
Ancient Yi, dressed in a white magic robe, sipping fragrant tea, sat leisurely at the table and read a book. Even though Gary was sitting opposite, he did not raise his head.
"You have a few powerful forces that don't belong to you." After a while, Gu Yi slowly spoke.
Gary turned his hand and the original blade appeared.
"Four Infinity Stones..." Ancient One looked at Gary in surprise, and then suddenly said: "Is this the real reason why you came to Kama Taj?"
Gary did not intend to deny it, and smiled and said: "Yes, I originally came for the Time Stone, but I know that you will not give me the Eye of Agamodo."
Ancient Yi shook his head: "If you are willing to become the next generation's supreme magic, I will give it to you."
"Don't you already have a candidate in mind?" Gary looked at the square outside the hall.
"The future is blurry, and I don't know how to choose." Gu Yi sighed, stood up and said, "Casillas already knows the secret of my ability to absorb dark power, but I didn't expect that he would still choose to stay.
Come down."
"He's waiting for you."
After saying that, Gu Yi turned his eyes, stared at Gary and continued: "If you can't solve the problems he faces, I'm afraid Kama Taj will encounter a disaster."
He can see fragments of future time, but he can only follow the established trajectory of time development, because he knows very well that once he changes the future without authorization, things are likely to develop for the worse.
When he absorbed the power of darkness to change the future, it resulted in several invasions of Dormammu, which brought great disasters to the earth. Since then, the Ancient One has no longer used the Eye of Agamotto and has been
This supreme artifact of the Sorcerer Supreme is placed in the library.
"You and I both know Casillas' confusion. If you want to truly solve it, the price you need to pay is not low. Ancient Master, are you sure you want to choose Casillas?" Gary asked.
"I don't have much time, and I can't continue to train the next talented successor. Now that the future has changed, all I have to do is abide by the rules. No matter how you solve it, as long as Casillas does not draw on the dark power, he will
He is the next Supreme Mage." Gu Yi's tone was full of determination.
Gary pondered for a moment, "Okay, the time stone..."
"That's a matter for the next Supreme Mage." Gu Yi said with a smile.
…
On the way to the library after leaving the front hall, Gary couldn't help but sigh. Although the original timeline had changed a lot because of his appearance, Gu Yi was afraid that he would still have to break free from his physical body.
Choose to follow eternal life.
In other words, Gu Yi's death is inevitable.
But that's okay, after all, if Ancient One doesn't die, he will never be able to get the Time Stone.
After a brief moment of reflection, Jiali's complexion returned to calm.
Arriving at the library, Casillas was already waiting.
Glancing at the vast magic books around him, Gary's eyes couldn't help but fall on the Eye of Agamotto, which had an indescribable attraction and calling.
"Senior Gary!" A chubby man walked over from the side and said respectfully.
"You are?" Gary asked doubtfully.
The chubby man hurriedly said: "I am the new librarian, you can call me King!"
"Where is the original librarian?" Gary asked. According to the original timeline, the young Chinese king would succeed after the old man guarding the library was killed by Casillas.
"His guardianship time has expired. He returned to the embrace of magic and ran away two months ago." Wang replied.
Gary suddenly realized that even if he practices magic, he only lives a little longer than ordinary people. Only by absorbing the power of darkness can he maintain youth, but if he wants to be eternal, he must leave the mortal body.
"I won't disturb you two anymore," Wang said when Casillas walked up and left the library.
"Mage Gary." Casillas performed a solemn magic ceremony.
Gary nodded slightly, "Casillas, the Ancient One Master has already told me about your matter."
Casillas did not feel surprised, but said in a daze: "Master Gary, so the Ancient One Master has really absorbed the dark power of evil?"
"right."
Hearing Gary's confirmation, Casillas clenched his fists and said with a fierce expression: "Master Gu Yi is the supreme mage respected by all mages. I have always regarded him as a god. Why, why, he would betray the Trinity Dimension.
Shan Di Magic, is it true that only dark power can gain eternity and gain powerful power?"
"Master Gary, tell me, isn't it?"
Casillas' emotions became more and more intense. He came to Karma Taj not for medical treatment or to practice magic, but because he wanted to see his wife again. He originally thought that the ancient master could help him realize this wish, but
Unexpectedly, even the Supreme Mage betrayed magic and absorbed the evil dark power that was contrary to magic.
When he first discovered this secret, Casillas almost collapsed, and even had the idea of stealing the Book of Emperor Weishan and betraying Kama Taj, but in the end he suppressed the idea. After all, Kama
Taj also has a mysterious mage, who is his last hope.
"What answer do you want? Casillas!" Gary said lightly.
"What answer do I want?" Casillas was stunned, but soon he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I just want to know why Gu Yi absorbed the power of darkness!"
Gary shook his head, "Casillas, I know your story. You chose to practice magic for your wife, so if magic cannot help you realize your wish, you will abandon it without hesitation. Am I right?"
?”
Casillas lowered his head in shame, but there was doubt in his confused eyes.
"Whatever power you choose, you will have to bear the price. The Ancient One Master draws dark power not for himself, but to resist the invasion of dark dimension creatures. For so many years, he has been resisting the erosion of dark power, so there is no
People know the horror of the dark power better than him." Gary's voice carried a hint of soul comfort, and Casillas' intense emotions slowly calmed down.
"And Master Ancient One will soon pay the price."
Casillas asked subconsciously: "What price?"
"In the near future, he will return to the embrace of magic!" Gary sighed.
"What? How is it possible? The ancient mage is so powerful, and he has also absorbed the power of darkness. Time has left no trace on his body. How could he die!" Casillas had a face full of disbelief.
Gary said in a calm voice: "This is the price."
Casillas was silent. Although he still didn't believe it, there was no need for Gary to lie to him.
"You want to see your wife again, I can help you, but before that, I hope you can put down all distracting thoughts and practice magic well. After the ancient master returns to the embrace of magic, if you still want to absorb the power of darkness,
I won't stop you then." Gary said slowly.
Casillas raised his head, looked at Gary and said word by word: "As long as I can see my wife again, I can do anything."
"Trust me, you will see it."
…
Casillas's matter has come to an end for the time being, and Gary is staying by the Eye of Agamotto in the library, studying the secrets as before.
During this period, an episode also occurred. Although Doctor Strange believed in the existence of magic, he was still unable to outline energy lines as quickly as other students. And the ancient one, who had determined the successor, no longer focused his energy on
Put it on Strange.
"Maybe I really don't have talent." Strange was frustrated.
Mordo sighed. In fact, he, Ancient One, and Calixias all knew that Strange just didn't believe in him, and his hands were his magic barrier.
"Strange, you can go find Gary, maybe he can cure your hand." Mordo said.
Strange couldn't wait and came to the library, "Master Gary, Master Modu said, you have a way..."
"I can heal your hand, but if your hand is healed, will you continue to practice magic?" Gary opened his eyes and said.
"I... don't know, I am a surgeon. Although I have learned a lot of knowledge that I have never encountered before, I still feel that I should be a doctor." Staranci hesitated.
Gary nodded. Doctor Strange had a photographic memory, so he had a talent for magic far beyond ordinary people. However, at the beginning, his heart was still in his career. After all, his lover was there.
"Close your eyes." Gary said.
"Oh." Strange quickly closed his eyes.
A few seconds later, he felt a warm flow of heat pouring into his body.
"Open it."
As the sound sounded, Strange opened his eyes and saw a pair of brand new hands. He moved his fingers and said excitedly: "My hands are healed, my hands are healed!"
