Chapter 1708 The Path of the Mage
After realizing the reality clearly, Strange also learned to accept his fate. Therefore, even though he regretted his current choice, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Many people will choose to give up on the excuse of regret, but he will not. Because he understands a truth very well, that is, if he gives up at this time, he may really have nothing.
In order to get such an opportunity, he has already paid a very expensive price, and he has no reason to let everything he has paid be in vain because of a little bit of regret.
You know, this road is not the kind of dead end that will go to the end. There are countless predecessors who walked in front of him, and they have proved that this road will be a unique and broad road.
As long as he perseveres, he can get what he wants, and even say, get something that he couldn't even imagine in the past. Unless it is a fool, who would choose to give up at such a time.
He is not so much complaining now, it is better to use this complaint to divert his attention. He would really go mad if he were allowed to endure such hardships and sufferings in silence.
Facing his very immature approach, while shaking his head and sighing, Baron Mordo had no idea to stop him.
Although he is a bit old-fashioned and conservative in character, it doesn't mean that he can't see the changes of the times.
People in this era are already different from his original era. When faced with strong oppression, they will not always swallow their anger.
Free thought and free will have always filled them with disgust and abhorrence of all forms of oppression. If there is not a good channel to resolve this emotion, then even if your intention is for their good, the final result is likely to be a tragic situation that burns you.
What Baron Mordo wants is an apprentice who is one with him, not a sworn enemy. So of course, he's going to have a sense of proportion.
What can and cannot be done. He still thinks clearly in his heart. And it is precisely because of the existence of such thoughts that he is full of expectations for Strange more and more.
Sometimes, the more you care about a person, the more you put your heart and soul into him, the more you will look forward to him.
It’s like raising a husky. You know it’s a stupid dog, a hopeless demolition agent, but you can’t help but put your hopes on him, hoping that it can keep its own place and do well in every aspect. To the point of being a good dog.
This sounds a bit extravagant, but it may not be completely extravagant. Because it is really difficult to know what talent is like. He might be a worm, but he might also be a dragon. If you don't push him, it's really hard for you to know how much potential he has.
In Baron Mordo's view, Strange undoubtedly has the potential to become a dragon, so naturally, he will use all means to force out this potential.
Right now, this kind of training method is just the beginning. If it weren't for Strange's physical problems, Baron Mordo would have raised the difficulty for him a long time ago. And watching Strange go from resisting at the beginning to submitting now, from the almost unbearable heaviness to being accustomed to it now. Baron Mordo already has the time is ripe to start giving him extra meals.
Time is a bit tight, or Baron Mordo is a little too hasty. But since he would have such an idea, then naturally he has his reasons.
Because he did not place high hopes on Strange, he hoped to use Strange to defeat the Stark family kid, so as to prove that the Supreme Mage made a mistake on the issue of his successor. choose.
And to achieve this, he and Strange need to put in a lot of effort.
As a teacher, there is a big gap between him and the Supreme Mage. If the Supreme Mage is all-encompassing in terms of spells,
If there is 100 points for everything, then he, a guy who can only be regarded as proficient in some fields, can only score 34 points at most.
A good mentor often determines the upper limit that a student can achieve in the early stage. This is like the difference between handing a newly enrolled child into the hands of a famous old teacher and handing it over to a college graduate who doesn't understand anything. The experience and accumulation are different, and the students handed over will naturally vary.
This is very difficult to make up for. Because you really can't ask Baron Mordo to catch up to the level of the Supreme Mage in such a short period of time. Leaving aside the hundreds of years of accumulation of spells, in terms of talent alone, he is far behind Gu Yi, a genius who has only been seen for thousands of years.
At his age, a mage has basically reached a bottleneck. Want to go one step further. It's really not that easy. Therefore, instead of opening a breakthrough from him and catching up with the gap between the two sides, it is better to change a breakthrough and start from Strange and Frank.
These two are just apprentices who have just started, even if there is a gap between them, the gap is extremely limited.
Frank wins over resources and talent. Although Baron Mordo is very reluctant to admit it, he has to admit that this kid from the Stark family has intelligence and aptitude far beyond ordinary people.
To praise him as an uncut diamond is not an exaggeration at all. It is even said that in the eyes of those mages, his value is greater than a diamond equal to his body.
Can be encountered but not sought, it is this kind of apprentice with extraordinary talent. And if ordinary people want to compare with them, in the end, they will just end up humiliating themselves.
Although Baron Mordo was optimistic about Strange's aptitude, he would not arrogantly think that Strange could overwhelm Frank's monstrous genius. To use an analogy, if Strange is the Hunyuan Iron in the Eight Diagrams Furnace of the Taishang Laojun, then Frank is the Heaven-Mending Stone made by nature, and the two are really not at the same level.
Forcibly driving two people to race on the same track is just asking for humiliation. Even further, it is very possible to destroy the apprentice Strange.
This is not what Baron Mordo wants to see. But he was also unwilling to let him admit defeat like this. So, after thinking about it, he formulated a special cultivation plan for Strange.
Learn to meditate? Teach Strange to explore the essence of magic from basic knowledge, and then look at his interests and hobbies to formulate a research direction for him, so that he can gradually appreciate the grandeur of the magic world?
No! Although this is the most orthodox mage education system, it is not the most suitable choice for Strange's current situation. If Strange is cultivated according to such a step, then even if he can be cultivated into a qualified mage, he will never have the hope of surpassing Frank in this life.
And for Baron Mordo, who is committed to making him surpass Frank, this is the most unacceptable situation.
Therefore, he gave up the conventional orthodox way, and instead used the evil way that he sneered at in the past, and took a shortcut.
This shortcut is that he single-handedly arranged Strange's mage model path with his own experience.
It is different from ordinary mages who start from basic knowledge and gradually progress step by step. Baron Mordo taught Strange the most profound and dangerous part of spells from the very beginning.
The Buddhist Esoteric Dharma of Dawei Tianlong subduing demons plus the Hindu Esoteric Dharma - Asura Vajra Esoteric Vehicle. Enough to bridge the huge gap between Strange and Frank.
You know, these two advanced spells are not ordinary. The former is an eminent monk of Tantric Buddhism subduing the evil dragon, using the dragon bone as a spell to engrave himself on his body, and at the critical moment, using spells to activate the dragon soul, turning it into a powerful spell for the mighty dragon to subdue demons and subdue demons.
And the latter uses Shura's blood as a guide to open up his own life wheel with the power of yoga Tantra, so that he can evolve towards the mythical Asura, and evolve the special spell of Asura's golden body.
According to Kama Taj's original standards, these two spells can be regarded as sorcery. Let's not talk about whether ordinary apprentices are qualified to practice, even if they are, after realizing the difficulties they will encounter when practicing this kind of magic, most of them will retreat and dare not take a step beyond the threshold.
Because whether it is a dragon or an Asura, they are all higher gods than humans. To gain their power, you must conquer their souls, their wills. Suffering is second to none, the key is this kind of spiritual battle, once it fails, it will be a real death without a place to die.
What the mages pursue is the truth of magic. rather than a stimulus. So naturally, such spells were shelved on a high cabinet, becoming a sorcery trapped in dust.
And if it wasn't for his thesis on mage melee combat, Baron Mordo might not have thought of these two dusty spells.
As early as when he conceived his own path as a mage, Baron Mordo had already made a far-reaching vision for his exemplary path. In his opinion, many of the spells he learned did not match his core spell system.
His core is made of spells for melee attacks. This kind of spell is powerful and quick to cast. It is the easiest and most practical type of spell. However, its physical requirements are a huge drawback.
Baron Modu, as a person who has received professional martial arts training and is also a master himself, his physical fitness is considered top-notch among human beings. But even so, it was hard for him to say what advantage he could have in the face of those powerful devils.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with the path he chose, but that his own physical fitness limits the play of this mage's exemplary path.
When confronting a powerful enemy, the physical fitness of human beings simply cannot compete with the physical fitness of the enemy's monsters. There are ten successes, seven layers must be put on protecting oneself. Unless you have the determination to die together, it is really difficult to go down the road of a melee mage. In this regard, even if Baron Mordo specially learned telekinetic spells as an aid, it would be difficult to solve the problem.
Psychic power can only provide him with certain protection and support, and cannot replace the role that a strong body can play. If you want to maximize the power of melee spells, then a stronger physical body is absolutely indispensable.
In other words, if you can't make your physical body stronger, then you'd better switch schools and choose another path of the mage model.
As the founder of this genre, Karma Taj was the first mage to embark on this exemplary path. Baron Mordo was certainly not reconciled to such a result.
It's not that he can't change his path, but because of his identity and his ego, he is unwilling to admit that his choice is wrong and a failure.
If he admitted it, wouldn't it mean that he misled his disciples. If he admitted it, wouldn't he be reduced to a laughing stock among mages? Baron Mordo, who has always positioned himself above the heir of the supreme mage, certainly cannot let such a thing happen to him. So naturally, he began to hold his breath, and delved into this dead end desperately.
And there is a saying that the emperor pays off, decades of research. In the end, he found a way out from the books left by Karma Taj.
Asura Vajrayana is the key he has found to maintain his exemplary path.
Asura is a very powerful god and demon in Indian mythology. They are naturally violent and have amazing physiques. In Indian mythology, there are even records of rebelling against the heavens and attacking the heavens and humans.
As long as they can get their physical strength, not much else, it is not a problem to overthrow one or two veteran gods and demons with the addition of melee spells. But that's where the problem lies. It is not so easy to obtain the power of Asura.
Asuras are naturally warlike, and the violent bloodiness is carried in their bones and hidden in their souls. It is true that the Asura Vajrayana can bring you the power of Asura. But at the same time, it will also inject Asura's madness into your body, making you crazy and fighting to death.
With such a negative impact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an evil law. And even the most ambitious mage would not take such a risk just because of the experiment.
Baron Mordo is no exception. That's why he found a solution, but hasn't used it on himself for so many years.
He thought of many ways to solve this problem, but he felt that it was not safe enough. After all, the sophistication of the mage is there, and he is not fully sure, and he dare not take any unnecessary risks.
It can be said that he has always kept his subject on hold, and has never dared to venture forward. But this time, he was determined to break his own principles and carry on his project with Strange.
Using the dragon soul of Dawei Tianlong to curb Asura's ferocious viciousness, if it is done, it can skip countless tedious stages and directly create an archmage who is better than gods and demons. It didn't work, with his own protection, Strange wouldn't be in any danger of his life.
This is the best shortcut. Although I am a little sorry for Strange. But he has no better choice.
After all, everything I did was for his own good, so I believe he would forgive me even if he knew about it.
