It’s unmistakable. Although the other party has turned into a form similar to a soul, Richard is still very convinced that this is the ancient master, but not the real one. Maybe she has given up her physical body and left behind a similar spiritual body.
Things are floating around in this world, but they probably won’t last long and will dissipate.
Richard just floated in the air with her, looking at the brightly lit town below. Looking down from such a height on the town and the people coming and going in the town seemed so illusory and unreal, as if he was with them.
A world apart.
After a moment of silence, Richard broke the silence: "So, are you still ready to retire?"
Gu Yi nodded slowly.
"I've been the Sorcerer Supreme for long enough," she said. "It's about time I handed this responsibility over to someone else. After all, it's bound to happen sooner or later."
"Strange?" Richard said, "I saw him. He may be very talented, and he may be a great master in the future. But don't you think it's a bit too early for him now?
?"
Richard really felt that Master Gu's retirement was a bit irresponsible. In the movie, too, Qi Qi had just learned spells from her for a few months and she hurriedly escaped, taking the Supreme Mage and Ago
The Eye of Motorcycle was handed over to Qi Qi as casually as if it were not the throne of a dimension guardian but the president of a kindergarten class.
So the Ancient One Master has been holding on to this position for six to seven hundred years. Can't she really hold on for two more years and wait for Qi Qi to truly grow up before dying?
Richard maliciously speculated that she might have decided to retire early because Heaven and Hell were about to start a war. After all, if she was still sitting in the position of Supreme Mage, she would definitely not be able to ignore such a big matter, but it would be very troublesome to do so.
Because there are a lot of big shots in heaven and hell who are not easy to mess with.
So she decided to be out of sight, out of mind, and retire in place.
"What about Casillas?" Richard asked, "I remember those dark mages still have Dormammu's summoning ritual in their hands? You said you would handle it last time?"
"That is the task left to the next Supreme Mage." Ancient One said calmly, "A good knife needs a whetstone to sharpen it. Casillas is the one Strange must overcome.
The first level is very important for his growth. He must learn not to rely on me anymore, but to try to solve problems by himself, otherwise he will never be able to take charge of himself."
Richard nodded in understanding.
I understand, I understand. After saying so much, it’s just that you find it troublesome and want to be lazy.
But it makes sense for her to say so. Doctor Strange had not the slightest interest in guarding the dimension before, but now he seems to be deeply shocked when he sees his master hanging in front of him, and he is showing signs that he is ready to work hard and start a new life.
From this point of view, Strange was clearly arranged by his teacher. He obviously just wanted to heal his hand, but he was inexplicably tricked into boarding a pirate ship and pretending to be some kind of Supreme Mage, risking his life every day.
There was no reward for saving the world, and he was even tortured by the high cost and backlash of using magic. He later earned the reputation of "Dr. Kidney Deficiency"
But is Master Ancient One really dead? Richard thinks not. In the movie, before Master Ancient One’s soul dissipates, a lightning freezes in the sky. Many people on the Internet believe that the lightning symbolizes the five creation gods of the universe.
One of the shuttle buses sent by Eternity was specifically here to pick up Gu Yi.
From then on, Ancient One abandoned her physical body and joined the Eternal Boss's camp in the form of a spiritual body. In layman's terms, she ascended.
Now that everyone was ready to leave, Richard couldn't help but want to take this opportunity to confirm some questions he had always wanted to ask: "I remember you said you saw my future before, so did you see any specific content?
? Or some important moments?”
What he wants to ask is very simple, that is, what hard bones will he have to crack in the future? Will he encounter Dark Zaki or something? When and where might it be?
However, even if the person was about to die, Gu Dashou still looked like "the secret must not be leaked" and said slowly: "I said that there are countless possibilities in the future, and anything can happen. Compared to the future
We should still live in the present, because the future can always change."
Dashouzi once again said a series of profound words that "what he said means he didn't say it", which completely made people feel unclear and serious.
"There is a question I have always wanted to ask." Richard looked at her for a moment and said slowly, "When did you start not being able to use the Eye of Agamotto?"
Master Gu Yi was silent for a moment.
In fact, Richard had doubts when he was watching the movie. The ancient mage who appeared in the movie still wore the Eye of Agamotto on his chest during the Battle of New York in 12 years. According to the timeline, just a few years later
She no longer carries this artifact in the Doctor Strange movie.
It stands to reason that the Eye of Agamotto is not only an artifact that greatly improves combat effectiveness, but also a symbol of the Supreme Mage's identity. It is also something that generations of mages need to risk their lives to protect. After Qi Qi became the Supreme Mage, this thing never left his side.
Why doesn't she use it?
Sure enough, Gu Yi sighed softly.
"You may have discovered." She said slowly, "In today's universe, magic has its limits. Magic must have a price, and the more powerful the magic, the higher the price. Casting magic is like modifying the source code of this world.
, but doing so will also be counterattacked by the universe itself.
My physical condition is indeed no longer able to easily use the Eye of Agamotto, which is part of the reason why I chose this time to retire."
After a pause, she turned to look at Richard.
"Sometimes I can't help but think that maybe the era of the Supreme Mage as a guardian has passed. At least the world now does not welcome magic. It would not be surprising if one day in the future magic completely disappears from this world.
But you are different. You are the most special existence I have ever seen, and it is only from you that I see the most unique future. You ask me what I see in your future? I see light, the purest
, the most shining light is enough to change the whole world."
Richard didn't answer.
Master Gu Yi’s words were actually said but not said. It seemed like he pointed out a general direction. But after thinking about it carefully, he still didn’t say anything. It felt like a big lie.
"Okay, my time is almost up." Master Gu Yi said, and his figure began to gradually disappear. She glanced at Richard one more time, and finally said: "Besides, you'd better go home quickly.
Take a look, there is something a little abnormal about the magic nodes near your manor."
Richard was stunned.
Someone dares to come to my house to cause trouble?
