The call was quickly connected. Otto and Leo exchanged a few words briefly. After asking about Leo's location, Otto asked Leo to wait where he was.
The next moment, a dimensional door with sparks flying suddenly appeared in front of Leo, and Otto, who was slightly stronger, jumped out of the door.
Leo looked through the dimensional door and vaguely saw bookshelves filled with ancient books inside the door.
"Mr. Erwin, how's the cure for the curse going?" Otto didn't show off his magic this time. He first cared about Leo's health as soon as they met.
Leo didn't want Otto to worry extra, so he told a white lie and replied with a smile:
"It's okay. The curse has been solved by the Ancient One."
"That's good, that's good."
Otto laughed and patted Leo on the shoulder, looking very happy. After laughing, Otto thought for a moment and then asked,
"Mr. Erwin, are you in a hurry? If you are not in a hurry, I will take you to visit Kama Taj. The scenery here is quite good. It is a pity that I forgot to take Peter and Mary Jane to visit here yesterday.
."
Leo couldn't find a reasonable way to get close to Ancient One at this time, and his mind was a little confused. So he didn't refuse Otto's invitation and took a walk around to relax.
Otto acted as a tour guide, introducing Leo to the brief history of Kama Taj while walking.
This history is like a fairy tale, and Leo listens to it with great interest.
Otto took Leo through the Scripture Pavilion and the training grounds of the mages, but these places were confidential places, and Otto had no right to take Leo in, so he could only give Leo a vivid description.
Kama Taj is really big. Otto took Leo for a tour, and two hours passed.
Finally, the two returned to the hall where Leo and Parker had just arrived yesterday.
Otto made a pot of tea, filled two cups, and the two sat facing each other.
Otto said: "Mr. Erwin, can you tell me what happened after I left New York? Especially about the police's treatment of me."
Peter and Mary Jane were both there yesterday, and Otto didn't want to mention what he did when he lost his mind, so he didn't talk.
Leo recalled it and recounted what happened after Otto left.
"I was judged to be a murderer, and a search and arrest warrant was issued; I was designated as a fugitive; all funds were frozen! Alas..."
Dr. Zola sighed deeply,
"It seems that I won't be able to return to New York to live permanently in the future. Originally, I wanted to wait two years and apply to be stationed at the New York Mage Temple."
Leo comforted:
"Now that you have learned how to use the portal to come and go freely, is it not a trivial matter for you to want to go on vacation in New York? Just be careful not to let anyone see your appearance clearly.
If you are still worried, I can also help you make an optical simulation mask. Although it cannot be fake, but if you wear it to change your face and walk on the road, I can still guarantee that you will not be easily discovered."
But Otto shook his head:
"That doesn't make any sense. I'm a wanted fugitive. All my old acquaintances will be afraid of me. Me walking around New York City or New York University will only add to the sadness."
Otto continued,
"The only people I care about in New York City right now are Peter and Mary Jane, but they don't care if I'm a wanted criminal, so there's really no need for a mask or anything like that.
But it’s a pity that the money I have left is almost squandered by me, but at least there is still some left, which I originally planned to leave to Peter.”
"Come on, Otto."
Leo couldn't help but shook his head and smiled,
"You don't know how popular El chips are now in the market. As the director of the chip department, Peter's salary is much higher than when you were a university professor. So, you don't have to feel bad about that.
It’s money, because Peter won’t need it at all.”
"Haha, that's true." Otto suddenly understood and laughed happily to himself.
Time passed, and they had been chatting with Otto for a while. Leo was not willing to waste time anymore, so he directly made his request according to his original plan:
"Otto, actually I am also very interested in spells, especially the portal you just drew. I think it is very useful. I wonder, can you teach me?"
Before Leo came to Kamal Taj, he originally planned to do three important things.
The first thing is to find a solution to the curse, the second thing is to learn the portal spell, and the third thing is to find a way to connect with Ancient One and slowly plot the time stone.
At present, the first matter has been solved in disguise, and the third matter has a beginning and an end. Now we must focus on the second matter.
But after hearing Leo's request, Otto frowned obviously:
"Mr. Erwin, I am willing to teach you all the spells I know. However, the Ancient One has regulations. Anyone who wants to learn spells must pass the assessment and approval of the Ancient One.
Anyone who teaches others magic without authorization will be treated as a traitor, so..."
"Forget it." Leo waved his hand and did not embarrass Otto.
The law should not be passed lightly, and this has been stipulated since ancient times.
In fact, this is also a matter of course.
Because if everyone could teach others spells without any restrictions, the world would have been in chaos long ago.
Putting aside everything else, science and technology will never develop, and the earth is probably still in a fantasy world of swords and magic.
But although Leo couldn't learn magic from Otto, he never thought of giving up.
Since learning magic requires passing the assessment and approval of the Ancient One, then Leo can go directly to the Ancient One!
Leo was worried that he didn't have a suitable excuse to get close to Gu Yi. It was really the right time to give him a pillow when he was drowsy.
Leo did not hide anything from Otto and made his plans clear.
Otto did not stop him, but supported him very much, because in his impression, Gu Yi was amiable and amiable to everyone.
Even if Leo didn't take the initiative to bring it up, Otto would suggest Leo to try the Ancient One.
So Otto took Leo to see Ancient One.
However, when he arrived at the door of the dome house, Leo stopped Otto from knocking on the door, and instead persuaded Otto to leave, and then they would all watch his performance.
It would be too insincere to ask others to do the work of knocking on the door and explaining your intention to come.
Tuk-tuk-tuk~
Leo knocked on the door.
"Please come in." The neutral voice that could hardly distinguish between male and female sounded in Leo's ears again.
Leo pushed the door open and walked in. Gu Yi was still sitting on the futon, looking at him with a smile.
"Mr. Erwin, please sit down." Gu Yi spoke calmly.
After Leo found a comfortable position to sit down, Gu Yi asked leisurely:
"Why did Mr. Erwin come back again?"
Leo looked up at Gu Yi and said sincerely:
"Venerable Ancient One, I want to learn spells. To be precise, I want to learn the teleportation spell. Is it possible?"
After a brief contact with Gu Yi, Leo finally figured out Gu Yi's character.
For a person like Gu Yi who has no desires or demands, it is best not to mince words when talking to her. Instead, speaking out is the best choice.
But this time, Leo seemed to have made the wrong choice, because after listening to Leo's words, the almost unchanged smiling face of the Ancient One actually slowly frowned.
