Lu Xiao in the mirror space knew nothing about Gu Yi's inner struggles. After the battle, he summarized the gains and losses of the battle as usual.
'Sure enough, in this new world, it is easy to hit a wall just by relying on the assassin's set of physical attacks. It is necessary to join Kama Taj to learn spells.'
Assassins' combat methods are all aimed at physical creatures. When encountering energy-based creatures such as ghosts or shadow demons, they will be completely blinded.
Considering that he is likely to encounter similar enemies that are immune to physical attacks in the future, learning spells is inevitable. It can greatly enrich Lu Xiao's attack methods and prevent him from being completely defeated by certain immune enemies.
Although the Holy Sword of Eden is very powerful, its use is also very expensive, and Lu Xiao cannot place all his hopes on foreign objects.
Forging iron requires one's own hard work, and the improvement of personal strength is the most reassuring.
The Shadow Demon is just a minion of Dormammu. Considering that Lu Xiao is facing a creature from the dark dimension for the first time, the one that Ancient Yi chose for him should be considered weak among all the Shadow Demons.
The speed, strength and defense of the Shadow Demon far exceed those of humans. Lu Xiao, whose attributes have been greatly enhanced, cannot feel any obvious advantage in physical fitness when facing this weak Shadow Demon.
'In other words, when the mysticist fights enemies from other dimensions, he should use spells to temporarily strengthen his body, right?'
Lu Xiao pondered and analyzed, 'In terms of pure physical ability, even humans who have undergone high-intensity training cannot compare with the shadow demon. Mystics can suppress the shadow demon with ease. This is the only explanation.'
This is not the first time that Dormammu has launched a tentative attack on the earth, and the mystics are used to this intensity of invasion.
After the battle, the temple guardian mage lifted the mirror space spell, and the scars left by the battle were also eliminated. The passers-by in London did not even notice that a battle had occurred here.
Gu Yi was temporarily lost in thought and did not give any further instructions to Lu Xiao.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Xiao seemed curious and strolled to a newsstand not far from the London Temple, and determined the year he entered the Marvel Universe through the date on the newspaper.
"15th,may,2013."
'On May 15, 2013, three years before the story of Doctor Strange officially started, the Battle of New York in 2012 has ended. Now it should be the timeline of Thor 2, right?'
In addition to Thor 2, 2014 will be Captain America 2, 2015 will be Avengers 2 and Ant-Man, and 2016 will be Captain America 3, Black Panther and Spider-Man.
Ant-Man, Black Panther and Spider-Man can be ignored for the time being. Their stories only happen in a small scope and have no impact on the overall situation.
Although the background of Thor 2 zooms into the universe, there are not many parts that are really related to the earth. Only London was slightly affected by the invasion of the dark elves.
Before Dormammu takes serious action against the earth, Captain America 2 and 3, as well as Women's Federation 2 are plots in which Lu Xiao can actively participate.
Considering that there is a high probability of entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe again in the future, Lu Xiao plans to establish contact with some superheroes first, but the specific method of intervention needs to be carefully considered.
Captain America 3 marked a temporary split in the Avengers. The two team leaders, Iron Man and Captain America, parted ways due to a dispute over their ideas. Those who followed them also took sides. A civil war tore apart the originally united Avengers.
alliance.
'Stand in line...'
Lu Xiao hit his forehead with a headache, "If you want to gain the trust of one of the parties, it is impossible to be neutral. The question is which side should you stand on?"
The ideological differences between Iron Man and Captain America cannot be said to be right or wrong. From an overall perspective, Lu Xiao, who follows the Assassin's Creed, is more in favor of the captain's idea of not accepting official control.
The Free Beacon Country talks about democracy and freedom, but in fact their double standards are very slippery.
Only "just" demonstrations that obey the wishes of the federal government can be called democracy and freedom. Otherwise, they endanger human rights and are riots that need to be suppressed.
Captain America's concerns are justified. Although the Scovia Accords are nominally led by the United Nations, the United Nations is headquartered in New York, USA.
The United States has used various excuses to put pressure on the United Nations. Failure to pay membership dues has long been commonplace. Who knows if they will make small moves behind this agreement.
If the Avengers accept official jurisdiction, these superheroes will only be able to follow orders from above. Not only will their operational efficiency be limited, but they will also be more likely to use public weapons for private use.
If the beacon of democratic freedom uses superheroes to fight other countries, who will the Avengers, who are bound by the agreement, have to reason with?
The United Nations? Wakanda? Or the "overlord" Asgard?
When Lu Xiao was brainstorming in front of the newsstand, the hesitant Gu Yi finally made up his mind.
"Lu Xiao, it's time for us to go back."
Wearing a yellow monk's robe, Ancient One was very conspicuous on the streets of London, and many people turned their attention to this bald woman.
After regaining consciousness, Lu Xiao nodded obediently, followed Gu Yi back to the London Temple, and returned to the Holy Land of Mystics in the Himalayas through the portal directly leading to Kama Taj from the Temple.
It was still the same hall where the first trial was held before. Ancient Yi and Lu Xiao sat cross-legged opposite each other, and the Supreme Mage solemnly announced the results of his trial to Lu Xiao.
"You have successfully passed the three tests of talent, mental ability and practical combat. Congratulations on officially becoming a member of Kama Taj."
After thinking for a long time, Gu Yi finally decided to accept Lu Xiao.
Although Lu Xiao's unknown origin is an unsettling factor, Gu Yi is confident that she can handle him. As one of the most powerful combat forces on earth, she has this confidence.
Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief at Gu Yi's announcement, and even though he was overjoyed, he did not forget to salute Gu Yi with his hands clasped in fists.
"Thank you for your trust, Mage Supreme."
Gu Yi smiled and waved his hand: "There is no need to thank me. Joining Kama Taj is just the beginning. You have a lot to learn here. When you will succeed in learning, it depends on your understanding and hard work."
…
Just like what Gu Yi said, Lu Xiao was asked to join the training team of mystics the next day after settling down at Kama Taj.
Lu Xiao's actual combat ability already has a certain foundation, but in Gu Yi's view, his ability to defeat the Shadow Demon relies more on his pair of powerful magic weapons and long swords, and his own strength has yet to be refined.
In addition to participating in routine morning and evening group training with other mystics every day, Lu Xiao, who has just joined Kama Taj, needs more one-on-one introductory guidance.
Out of respect for Lu Xiao, Gu Yi, as the supreme mage, decided to take action personally.
"Like I mentioned when you took the trial."
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Gu Yi's hands glowed slightly and drew a golden line in mid-air at a deliberately slow speed.
"Mystics draw energies from the multiverse and use them in a variety of ways through spells."
As Gu Yi gradually added details into the chakras, the pattern she constructed gave Lu Xiao an increasingly strong sense of oppression.
"You can use spells to build weapons and armor, you can also use them to strengthen yourself, or form direct offensive spells to attack the enemy."
The chakra array compiled by Ancient One first transformed into a whip, and the golden energy whip hit the ground with a crisp sound.
Then she turned it into a large energy shield to cover her whole body, and finally extracted the remaining energy in the chakra and sprayed out a small stream of high-temperature flames.
After dispersing the magic circle, Gu Yi explained to Lu Xiao in detail: "The ancient mystics constructed spells in the form of incantations, but this method was easily targeted by the enemy's silent spells, so we gradually replaced chanting incantations with spell-casting gestures.
."
"If you feel that these concepts of spells and spells are too abstract, you can replace the spell-casting process with a computer program that is easy for modern people to understand."
Lu Xiao shrugged and asked: "In other words, I need to learn a special programming language to complete the construction of the spell?"
A gratified smile appeared on Gu Yi's face: "You understand quickly."
"boom!"
Gu Yi used magic to move a thick stack of ancient books from an unknown space. The books even made a dull roar when they fell on the ground.
Under Lu Xiao's eye-twitching gaze, Gu Yi said with a smile: "In addition to the routine training every morning and evening, you should first concentrate on reading these spell books thoroughly."
"... Let me ask, how long does this process take?"
Gu Yi tilted his head and recalled: "In my impression, the person who made the fastest progress only took a month, but most people took 3-6 months."
Lu Xiao looked at the other person's "library" in front of him speechlessly, sighed and smiled bitterly: "Okay, I will try my best to understand the principles and methods of spell programming. I hope this boring theoretical study period will not be too long.
