Chapter 280: The Ancient One Mage Who Has Nowhere to Go (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Leo didn't think there was anything wrong with directly saying Gu Yi's name.
Because for the Ancient One who possesses the time stone and can see through the past and the future, nothing about Leo should be a secret to her.
Leo had already thought about these things before coming to Nepal.
Leo's ultimate goal is the Time Stone, and looking at the next two controllers of the Time Stone, Strange and Thanos, neither is as kind as the Ancient One.
Needless to say, Thanos is the purple sweet potato.
As for Strange, although Leo had a pleasant exchange with him as a child in the British Museum, it was definitely not enough to convince Strange to hand over the Time Stone to Leo.
Therefore, contacting Gu Yi in advance now is definitely not the worst situation for Leo.
Otto didn't show much surprise when he heard Leo talking about Ancient One.
Because Leo's impression in Otto's mind was that of being mysterious and omniscient, it was not surprising to Otto that Leo knew the Ancient One.
What Otto is more confused about is why Leo wants to see the Ancient One?
If you don’t understand, just ask, so Otto asked.
Leo had already prepared an excuse:
"I have a last resort reason for wanting to see the Ancient One. I eliminated the leader of Hydra, Sienna Schmidt, more than a year ago. She placed a curse on me before she died, which was extremely vicious. I came to seek an audience with the Ancient One.
I just want her to help dispel the curse on me."
"curse?!"
After listening to Leo's excuse, Otto suddenly became very interested.
"I have only seen the curse in books, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Maybe we don't need to trouble the Ancient One. With my intelligence, I might be able to help you solve this curse."
As he spoke, Otto looked eager to try.
Leo found an excuse to cure the curse. At this time, he couldn't refuse the enthusiastic Otto, so he could only nod and agree.
Otto pulled a stool to an open space, asked Leo to come and sit down, and then began to cast his so-called spell with a serious face.
I saw his hands half-clenched into fists, stacked up and down, and then he pulled them apart suddenly, and a golden thread appeared in front of him, sparks flying everywhere.
Otto kept moving his hands, drawing a semicircle back and forth, a circle with strange Sanskrit characters on the edge, and the spell runes with two overlapping squares in the middle were completed by him.
He pulled harder with both hands, and the spell rune split into two, slowly rotating between his hands.
Then, he opened his hands and leaned forward towards Leo, his face almost touching Leo's head.
Four or five seconds later:
"Strange, tsk, really strange, why don't I see any traces of the curse on you?"
Otto observed for another two seconds and couldn't help but asked in confusion,
"Leo, are you really sure that the woman named Sienna successfully released the curse on you? Of course, I'm not doubting you, but I really didn't see it."
Leo nodded: "I am 100% sure that Sienna successfully released the curse on me."
Because that curse is still hanging on my system panel!
Otto gradually frowned, muttering something in his mouth, controlling the spell runes with both hands, and walked around Leo.
Leo stared at the spell runes in Otto's hand. The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. Finally, he couldn't help but ask:
"Octavis is a big liar, no, Archmage. If I guess correctly...the runes in your hand are for melee combat, right???"
"Ah! You discovered it! How do you know everything!" Otto's face flashed, and he quickly removed the rune in his hand, his expression and movements were like a certain sketch actor he had seen in his previous life.
Leo stood up and pointed at Otto with one hand, his face filled with a helpless expression, extremely speechless.
Emotional Otto has been busy for so long just now, just to show off in front of him?!
Maybe, Otto has been studying at Kama Taj for more than a year, and he has only learned this melee spell that is both offensive and defensive!
Otto thought Leo was really angry and said quickly:
"Mr. Erwin, don't mind, I was just joking. You know, I thought you would be surprised when you saw the spell runes in my hand..."
I'm surprised at your size!
The speechless Leo could only say helplessly:
"Otto, please stop joking. This is a curse on me. You'd better introduce me to the Ancient One and let her come and take a look."
Otto stopped joking and showed an embarrassed face.
"What's wrong? Can't you help me introduce the Ancient One?"
"No, of course I can. Venerable Ancient One is very easy-going. As long as she is Kama Taj's mage, everyone can ask her questions at any time."
Otto explained,
"It's just that Venerable Ancient One has not been at Karma Taj these past few days. I don't know where he went, and I don't know when he will come back.
Neither you nor I can see her for the time being, so I dare to make a joke to you, otherwise, I wouldn't waste your time for no reason."
After explaining, Alto was still afraid that Leo wouldn't believe it, so he continued,
"However, if you are very anxious to lift the curse, I can call Master Hamil to help you, the same mage who led you in just now.
Master Hamil has been with the Ancient One for more than ten years and is proficient in various spells. He is more capable than me, who is half a bucket of water. He should be able to solve the curse problem."
But Leo waved his hand: "No need, I'm not in a hurry, I can wait for the Ancient One."
Leo's main purpose in coming to Kamal Taj was not to solve the curse.
If the curse was really solved by Master Hamil, what excuse would he have to get close to Gu Taitou?
Leo continued,
"Otto, I will leave you a mobile phone number. If the Ancient One comes back, please notify me as soon as possible."
After saying that, Leo took out a pen and paper from somewhere and wrote down a series of phone numbers.
Otto was a little confused by Leo's operation, but who made Leo his benefactor, so he didn't ask any more questions, took the note handed over by Leo, and put it into his arms.
At this time, the Parkers finally came back after going to the toilet.
The two of them didn't know what happened in the hall just now. According to the original plan, they invited Otto and Leo to go play together.
Neither Otto nor Leo mentioned what had just happened. They led the Parkers out of the original small wooden door. Otto acted as a tour guide and enjoyed the food and beautiful scenery of Kathmandu.
Although he was playing, Leo was distracted thinking about Ancient One.
The Ancient One, as a person who has lived for at least a thousand years, is there anything else that requires her to spend several days to solve?
Visiting relatives and friends, eating, drinking and having fun?
If this is the case, then Leo will consider himself unlucky.
But if it was serious business, what was Gu Yi busy with?
Casillas rebelled early? Ancient One went to clean up the house?
But after Leo's speculation, he learned from Otto that Master Casillas left with Ancient One, and there were no differences or conflicts between them.
In other words, Gu Yi is avoiding me on purpose?!
But how could I be so virtuous and capable! Let this big boss hide...
In this way, there are too many possibilities, and Leo can't guess, so he can only wait patiently.
Time passed, the fun was over, and it was night in a blink of an eye.
After several people had a sumptuous dinner together, Otto returned to Karma Taj, Peter and Mary Jane returned to the hotel, and Leo also booked a room in the same hotel and stayed there.
At about two o'clock in the evening, Leo was running the mechanical power refining method in bed, refining mechanical power from the void. Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
