"Please hold back if you feel nauseous, otherwise you will spend a long time cleaning."
Looking at Strange who was dizzy and looking like "I'm dying" and subconsciously holding his stomach, Noah said unceremoniously.
Seriously, if this guy really vomited in his office, then Noah would definitely let this guy sweep the floor here for the rest of his life!
When he went to another universe, Noah was really disgusted by the two bastards Thor and Loki.
Now when Noah saw Strange's action, he subconsciously thought of those two bastards. I have to say that those two bastards were really cheating.
"Well, I don't think I can..."
Strange was stunned when he heard such a sentence, although the sudden change of environment made him feel a little dizzy.
But this was far from making him vomit, and of course Strange wouldn't go out of his way to explain anything like this.
Now he is no longer a superior doctor, of course he is still the top neurosurgeon, but all this does not work in front of the magician.
Magicians will not talk to you about science, they will talk about mysterious things.
"That's good." Noah tilted his head and glanced at the down-and-out Strange. His current situation was indeed very bad.
The whole person exuded a feeling of decadence, a look of despair but with a glimmer of hope.
This guy and the Strange that Noah saw in another universe are almost two different people. That Strange seems calmer and more energetic.
When Noah was sizing up Strange, Strange finally raised his head and looked at Noah.
To be honest, when he saw Noah, he didn't know how to describe this young man in his heart.
Although he had some experience during the Battle of New York, he still liked to subconsciously classify powerful magicians as Gandalf.
To put it simply, it is a white beard, a tall wizard hat and a robe.
Well, this image is actually in the movie he just watched. The principal of the school also fits this setting. Simply put, it gives people a very reassuring and powerful feeling at the first sight.
The young man in front of me looks handsome and has an incredible temperament, but he doesn't have that reassuring feeling.
Although this young man felt very familiar to Strange, Strange seemed to be unable to remember where he had seen this young man before.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of coming to me?" Noah tilted his head and looked at Strange, and then asked directly: "By the way, what would you like to drink? Tea or coffee? Or wine?
"
"Um, no need to, thank you." Strange rejected these things, and then he thought a little hesitantly before saying: "Dear Magician, I came here this time because of my hands...
..."
"Oh, that's the problem." Noah spread his hands. Of course he knew Strange's problem, but he still asked knowingly: "But you are a doctor, why did you come to find a magician?"
"Because..." Strange smiled bitterly: "My hands cannot be solved by ordinary science at all..."
Tony and Noah looked at each other, then shrugged indifferently.
What Strange said was actually not correct, because he didn't ask Tony to help him, and Tony might actually be able to heal his hand.
Of course, Tony had no interest in this matter at all. Although he had heard of Strange's reputation, the status gap between the two of them was really quite big.
If nothing unexpected happens, Tony may never ask Strange for help in his life.
And now the main core of Tony's work is basically based on going back in time, so Tony will not waste time and energy helping this 'strange stranger'.
And Tony also felt that Noah might not be able to help this guy, because the magician was really not a 'charitable' person.
But what Tony never expected was that Noah, who in his opinion did not drive Strange away immediately, actually nodded to Strange.
This made Tony feel that he had some misunderstanding about the magician, especially when what Noah said next made him a little dumbfounded.
"Indeed, your hands are very troublesome for science." Noah nodded in agreement: "But using magic can indeed solve all of this very easily, and I can also easily solve your problem."
"Really...really?" Strange stood up with excitement on his face. At this moment, he simply lost his mind.
"Of course it's true." Noah nodded, and then looked at Strange with confusion: "But, why should I help you?"
"Sure enough." Tony was relieved this time: "Is this the magician I know?"
Strange's words from Noah were as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head. This made him calm down instantly and at the same time he couldn't help but feel even more disappointed.
Yes, why does the magician want him?
Strange found that he was really confused by this glimmer of light. He really didn't know these magicians at all!
To put it bluntly, they exist in two different worlds, with no possibility of any interaction at all!
But Strange doesn't want to give up just like that. He has not forgotten the guy named Jonathan. Why can he be helped by the magician, but he can't?
"Did he pay a price?"
Strange thought secretly, raised his head and looked at Noah's position again, and he had some thoughts in his heart.
For Strange, losing his hands is basically equivalent to losing everything. If he has to pay something, Strange is willing to do it!
Taking a deep breath, Strange looked at Noah with an unusually serious look on his face: "Jonathan Pangborn was saved by you, what did he pay for? Believe me, I also paid all this, and even more.
!”
"Jonathan?" Noah tilted his head: "Oh, you mean Modu's student? He was very lucky. He met Modu and ran out to recruit apprentices, so he was taken to Kama by Modu.
Taj and trained to become a magician."
"Jonathan... became a magician like this? Didn't he pay any price or something?"
"What else? Come on, we are not the kind of people with pointy ears, red skin, and a fork who want you to sign a contract with us at the same time. What do you think you have that is worthy of us? Not at all."
Noah looked at Strange inexplicably. Why would this guy mix a magician with a legendary demon?
And even demons rarely play this trick now, right?
Unless the goal is extremely valuable, who would do something so laborious and not very good?
Well, Strange is indeed quite valuable. Even if Noah has just come into contact with him, Noah can clearly feel that the potential this guy has is really scary.
Noah can be sure that as long as this guy calms down and accepts magic from the heart and studies seriously, he can become an excellent magician in just a few years.
Of course, this is just an excellent magician, and there is no way to compare with the guy in the original work or the parallel universe.
But no matter how you look at it, this is an incredible change. Noah is thinking that it is not difficult to keep this guy, but the difficult thing is how to reform and make this guy obedient.
"So..." Just when Noah was thinking wildly, Strange also thought seriously for a long time and then asked: "Can I stay?"
"You want to stay?" Noah tilted his head: "You have to understand one thing. Once you stay, you will no longer be a doctor, but a magician."
Noah said it very straightforwardly. The addition of Strange will indeed enhance the influence and strength of the magical world.
But if it's Strange who wants to go back to being a doctor, then this is not what Noah wants.
Recognize your identity, know your responsibilities, and become a magician well.
This is what Noah hopes for. If this guy can do all this, Noah won't mind letting him go back and continue to be his doctor.
There is a primary and secondary relationship here, that is, he knows what his first identity is and what his second identity is.
Noah felt that if the Ancient Master of that universe could be the same as the Ancient Master of Noah's universe, then she would make the same choice even if Strange could not become the Supreme Master.
Therefore, from the beginning, Noah never thought about letting Strange go through the motions and slowly adapt. All Noah wanted was to let Strange know everything he had to bear and admit.
Tony felt very interesting. This was the first time he saw Noah accepting an apprentice.
Although Noah has many apprentices, most of them are people he knows.
In Tony's opinion, 99% of these apprentices are from related households, but this unfortunate doctor is a complete outsider.
Strange looked at his hands, and then at Noah and Tony sitting in front of him, struggling for a while in his heart.
Strange is a little confused now. To be honest, asking him to completely become a magician is simply a challenge to the worldview and values he has established for a long time.
But if he doesn't try to become a magician, no, try his best to become a magician, there will be no way for his hands to recover!
Without his recovered hands, he would only be able to degenerate infinitely when he went back. However, Strange was worried that once he became a magician, he would have to cut off everything from his usual life...
Suddenly, Strange thought of Tony, and then of Jonathan Pangborn...
Gritting his teeth, Strange decided that he would give it a try no matter what, because this was his only 'light'!
"I decided that I wanted to stay, no matter what."
"Very good, then let's sign a contract?"
"Um, don't you need to sign this?"
"Yes, but I need to sign here. If you don't want to, you can find someone else. I'll see who else dares to ask for you after you leave my place."
