Chapter 213 First Lesson

The supreme mage of Kamateki is here. Master Ancient One looked a little older than the last time he saw it. Li Jie didn't know if this was his own illusion.

There were two inconspicuous wrinkles on Gu Yi's face, and there was a trace of fatigue in his originally energetic eyes.

He looked at Li Jie with a smile, like seeing a student returning after a long trip, with a trace of kindness and expectation. "Welcome Nightcrawler, I heard that you wish to gain more knowledge of Kamateki."

"Yes, you once said. If necessary, I can learn all kinds of knowledge in Kamateki, including all kinds of metaphysical knowledge, and you said that you are willing to teach me." Li Jie responded.

"Naturally, the mage's promise has always been kept. I have already informed the king. He is the administrator of the library. Now you can choose the books you need to read." Gu Yi has already sent the message to the king through magic.

"Wang and Lan can teach you the basics. When you feel that their knowledge is not enough to teach you, you can come and find me."

"Master, I don't know if it's my illusion, you look tired?" Li Jie originally wanted to leave here for Kamateki's library, but he couldn't help asking before leaving.

"Sometimes yes, after all, I am hundreds of years old. People get tired easily when they are old." Gu Yi smiled silently, and what he said seemed to make sense.

"It's hard for me to imagine that a strong man like you would..." Li Jie was halfway through, not knowing how to continue.

It was a mistake to speak recklessly, he hadn't thought of the most suitable adjective to describe Gu Yi's current state without offending his majesty.

"Will it age so quickly?" Gu Yi didn't care about Li Jie's unintentional offense. In most cases, the Supreme Master is a magnanimous person.

"Please forgive my rudeness, I didn't intend to offend your dignity." Li Jie bowed to Gu Yi.

"No, I don't need an apology. My life is already long." Gu Yi didn't care. "The erosion of time on life is inevitable, and being alive is only part of the journey in life."

"From ignorance of language to vast knowledge, this is only part of the journey. Living is one part or just the beginning, death is another part, and it can even be said to be eternity." Gu Yi's words made Li Jie somewhat incomprehensible, but Gu Yi It seemed that he didn't want to continue explaining anything.

"I'm sorry Master, I still have a question to ask you." Li Jie saw that Gu Yi didn't want to delve into this issue, so he planned to ask Gu Yi another question.

"How is the war in Asgard going?" This was asked to help Thor, and Li Jie felt a stomach ache thinking of Thor's appearance now.

The current God of Thunder has almost turned into a salted fish because of the news brought by Valkyrie.

This Valkyrie from Asgard just hits Thor every day when she has nothing to do, and tells Loki's benefits in front of Thor every day.

And it is constantly disintegrating Thor's self-confidence, and blowing the things Thor is most proud of are worthless.

If it is said that the changes of Thor in the Thor movie after being dropped by Odin in the mortal world are a bit illogical, the turning point is too fast.

So now Thor, the God of Thunder, has truly become a salted fish, drinking heavily every day. It looked like he was going to get drunk to death.

And Valkyrie doesn't know where to find alcohol for Thor every day.

Li Jie doubted that Valkyrie did this for a purpose. Therefore, it has not been revealed that Thor's life has been too smooth, and he needs to fight for experience.

Thor is in a very complicated mood now, looking forward to getting news about Asgard, but afraid of getting news about Asgard.

But I still ask Li Jie, if you go to Kamateki, remember to ask him about the latest war in Asgard.

"War? Oh, you mean the war about the dark elves?" Gu Yi replied after thinking for a while.

"At present, neither side has started a formal large-scale offensive. Although the borderlands are full of battle clouds, there are only some small-scale wars."

"Loki is a genius. He has an extraordinary talent in guiding war. Judging from the current confrontation, Asgard has the overall advantage." Gu Yi's answer did not exceed Li Jie's expectations.

It seems that Thor will continue to be disappointed, Asgard does not need him now.

Is Odin planning to use this method to make Thor realize his insignificance? Probably so, Li Jie speculated.

"About Thor, I hope you can help him regain his confidence." Gu Yi seemed to know something about Odin's plan, after all, he was an old friend for hundreds of years.

"What can I do?" Li Jie shook his head when he thought of Thor, the god of salted fish.

"Tell him what a mortal can do. It is not only the gods who are the supreme beings. The humble and weak also have their extraordinary things. If they don't understand these, Thor will never be able to become the god of thunder. And this truth can only be left to Thor himself. Understand." Gu Yi said.

"And you, Nightcrawler. I think you're the best choice."

"why me?"

"Because you start small."

"Spider-Man too."

"Spider-Man is too simple."

"Meaning I'm complicated?"

"In comparison, it is indeed."

"An overly complex person is not a good choice, is it?"

"It's a good choice for Thor, he is too simple."

"To educate him to be as scheming as Loki? I'm sorry, but I don't think I can be more intelligent than Loki. Compared to him, I look much more stupid."

"Thor doesn't need to be too scheming, he just needs to know how to be humble and understand the natural universe."

"Okay, I'll try my best." Li Jie was about to leave here after speaking, the conversation with Gu Yi always made him feel a little weird.

"Learn more, Nightcrawler, the darkness is coming soon." Gu Yi muttered to himself as he watched Li Jie leave.

Kamateki's library is so huge that it looks like a two-story house from the outside. But the vastness of the interior is astonishing.

Maybe that's another use for magic.

It is not for nothing that Kamateki is called the ocean of knowledge. The collection of books here is so rich that Li Jie can hardly speak.

I am afraid that it is not inferior to any national library in the world, and some even have a richer collection of books.

After all, there are many books that only mages can browse.

"Do you believe in nihilism and fatalism?" These were the first words spoken by the king in the library.

"I'm sorry what did you say? I just asked you to read the book." Li Jie was a little confused by the question.

"Do you believe that all truths do not exist?" Wang's expression at this moment reminded Li Jie of those philosophers of the classical school.

Aren't you mages?

"If I believe that truth does not exist, then what is it that I believe?" This is a question tinged with a paradox.

"Negiate everything, and affirm everything. Past history shapes our future." When Wang was speaking, Lan also appeared in the library.

"Everything you know has really happened? Or are they just illusions? Is everything you do unswervingly your own choice, or it happened according to the probability under the laws of nature."

"Is everything a predetermined fate or is it nothingness?"

Li Jie was a little confused by Wang's words. "Is this a compulsory course in metaphysical knowledge?"

"This is a required course for mages, Gu Yi's order." Wang replied. "Everyone is not uniform in the degree to which they are able to pass their own tests. Some are stronger and some are weaker."

"The touch of metaphysics is a very dangerous thing, because it involves the exploration of the origin of the universe by the supreme mages of the past generations."

"Not every mage has the opportunity to come into contact with this knowledge, but before learning this knowledge, you must first recognize the source."

Li Jie was a little surprised by Wang's words. The real metaphysics in this world may not seem as simple as Li Jie originally imagined.

Wang nodded to Lan, and he led Li Jie to the deepest part of the library.

Huge bookshelves automatically avoided the way forward, and the floor began to flip over and over again.

The whole space began to fold strangely. There is no boundary between heaven and earth, and there is no space between up and down.

A sense of fear from the deepest part of his heart swept over Li Jie's body. This is the fear of the unknown in human instinct.

Li Jie didn't know why he followed Wang to continue walking forward, he was already trembling with fear.

He glanced at Lan beside him, but this beautiful girl was very calm.

Li Jie forced himself to stabilize.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wang finally stopped. "Ready, Nightcrawler. Your first lesson is about to begin."
