The sun sets in the west, the sunset glow hangs in the sky, and the scenery is infinitely beautiful.
However, Leo felt a little uncomfortable under the beautiful scenery.
Ancient One actually knew that Leo's ultimate goal was the Time Stone, and she said it directly!
Leo was suddenly confused and didn't know how to answer Gu Yi's words.
After a long time, he lowered his hands and said:
"Okay, Venerable Ancient One, don't be anxious for now. Let's put the matter about the Time Stone aside for now and talk about it later. Now, I have other things I want to talk to you about."
"I'm not anxious at all, you are."
Gu Yi smiled and said,
"Mr. Erwin, you can sort out your thoughts. After we return to Karma Taj, we can sit down and chat slowly. I will answer all your questions and give you the reward you deserve.
"
Finally, Gu Yi added another sentence,
"This is a promise of goodwill from a Supreme Mage."
After saying that, Ancient One no longer looked at Leo, but concentrated on casting spells to control the Eye of Agamotto.
Under the power of the Time Stone and the powerful magic power of Ancient One, the entire village finally returned to the way it was when Leo and the others came.
Although Leo was thinking about things in his mind, he did not forget to observe his surroundings.
From his perspective, he keenly noticed that three more figures suddenly appeared in the four-seater police car.
And at noon today, when Leo and others first arrived here, there was obviously no one in the police car.
"Venerable Ancient One, you resurrected those three police officers who were torn to pieces by demons?!" Leo asked in surprise.
Gu nodded:
"Yes, I used the Eye of Agamotto by the way to modify their memories after arriving in this village. When they wake up, they will only feel that they have fallen asleep for no reason and will not remember anything else."
Leo frowned: "But..."
"What's wrong?"
"Since you chose to use 'Time Travel' to resurrect these three police officers, why didn't you choose to resurrect those mages who unfortunately died in the battle?"
Leo continued,
"Let's not talk about the logic that will affect the inherent trajectory of the world. In my opinion, since you have resurrected three police officers, it is also feasible to resurrect a few more mages. The world will definitely not collapse because of this."
"you're right."
Gu Yi raised his hands,
"Even if I resurrect hundreds of people, it won't have much impact on this huge universe. These changes are within the error correction of the universe, and the universe can accept it."
Gu Yi changed the topic,
"But I still won't choose to resurrect those mages. This is not a question of being able or not, but a matter of rules between mages.
The mage, adhering to the philosophy of the founder Agamotto, protects the earth and prevents the invasion of the multiverse.
The Time Stone was inherited from the Patriarch Agamotto, and these rules such as "Mages who died in battle cannot be resurrected" have also been passed down by us as spiritual culture.
After every mage who studies in Kamataji reaches a certain level, he will be informed of these rules. Those who are willing to accept them will stay, and those who are unwilling to accept them will leave.
Those who leave will forever lose the opportunity to learn magic again. At the same time, they will be cast on forbidden magic spells and deprived of their mana. They will also have to sign a confidentiality agreement, and violators will be held accountable by the Mage Law Enforcement Department.
It doesn’t matter whether you say these rules are unreasonable or pedantic.
However, we mages need to comply unconditionally.
Because if we can’t even follow these rules, how can we fulfill our responsibility to protect the earth?”
Leo did not comment on Gu Yi's statement, nor did he investigate whether the logic and values in it were correct.
There was only one thing he cared about, and he already got the answer from Ancient One's explanation.
That is this kind of 'resurrection' achieved by using the Time Stone, without any consequences.
That's enough.
As for the agreement between the mages, Leo is not a mage, so he doesn't care at all.
Understanding the rules for using the Time Stone is the basic starting point for Leo to ask the question just now.
The Sorcerer Supreme and his group have controlled the Time Stone for hundreds of thousands of years, and their development and use of the Time Stone have basically reached the ultimate level.
Although Ancient One said just now that he cannot hand over the Time Stone to Leo, it is certainly impossible for Leo to give up on obtaining the Time Stone just because of this.
At present, facing the powerful Ancient One, his hope of obtaining the Time Stone is slim.
But this did not prevent him from scrutinizing the rules for using the Time Stone. Even if it could only satisfy his curiosity, it was still extremely rewarding.
Now that the discussion with Gu Yi had begun, Leo was ready to ask all the questions in one go.
"Venerable Ancient One..."
"Ordinary people are here, let's go back to Kama Taj first."
But Gu Yi suddenly interrupted Leo's words, raised his hand to draw a portal, and stepped into it.
Leo raised his head and looked far away, and found that there were indeed three police cars lined up on the road in the distance and speeding towards this direction. Gu Yi did not lie to him.
After confirming that Ancient Yi did not want to answer the question, Leo was slightly relieved and followed Ancient Yi into the portal and returned to Kama Taj.
…
In an elegant room of Kama Taj, green smoke floated from the incense burner, and the tea in the kettle floated with fragrance. Leo, wearing casual clothes, sat across the table from Gu Yi.
Gu Yi poured a pot of tea for Leo, handed it to Leo with both hands, and said sincerely: "Thank you."
Leo understood what Gu Yi's "thank you" was referring to, so he took the tea and drank it in one gulp without any pretense, and naturally praised: "Good tea."
But if you are suffering from diabetes, please add honey to your tea every time.
Gu Yi smiled slightly and filled the tea cup again: "Mr. Erwin, if you have any questions, you can ask them now. I will tell you everything I know."
Leo then asked the question he had just left unfinished:
"Is the appearance of the devil on Earth this time inevitable, or was it planned by you to kill Casillas?"
This question is a bit rude, but Leo must ask it clearly, because the answer to this question is related to Gu Yi's position.
If Gu Yi took the initiative to attract an army of demons for the chance of survival, then Leo felt that his attitude towards Gu Yi would change.
Faced with such a sharp question, Gu was not annoyed at all, but instead smiled all over his face:
"Of course this is what is bound to happen. I actually made a lot of efforts to avoid this bad event from happening, but in the end I failed. So, I simply made a plan based on this."
Gu Yi didn't explain too much, nor did he care whether Leo believed it or not.
Leo nodded slightly, he still believed in Gu Yi's answer.
There are two reasons.
First, what Zhong Gu Yi did in this incident was remarkable.
The second is based on the character of Gu Yi in the previous life movie.
As of now, everyone else's characters are pretty much the same as in the movie, so there's no reason why Gu Yi's character would be so different.
Leo still prefers that Ancient One is a member of the good and lawful camp.
Leo got a fairly satisfactory answer to this question, so he followed the idea he had already figured out and asked the second question:
"Venerable Ancient One, why did you design to kill Casillas?"
"Mr. Erwin, I think you should know the answer to this question." Gu Yi chuckled and answered casually.
Leo suddenly thought, there is something in this ancient story. Is she hinting at Leo's identity as a time traveler?!
However, Leo had already been mentally prepared for this. He asked this question with the intention of seeking information on this aspect. At this time, he calmly answered:
"I know some of the reasons, but I don't know them all. I would like to ask Venerable Ancient One to tell me everything."
