Chapter 1920 Future Vision, Gap in Knowledge
What the ancient mage said made Strange inevitably resentful, but after thinking about it, he laughed at himself for his resentment.
It's like a person who played a soul game until he collapsed, blaming all his faults on the broken machine in front of him, he is simply asking for trouble. After all, the Ancient One mage in front of her is not herself at all, and she is not even considered human. This is an illusion left by the spell, a clone with no memory but no emotion. There are too many expectations for this thing, hoping that she can consider other people's feelings like a living person, not asking for trouble.
After he figured this out, Strange didn't bother to argue with her any more. Instead, he asked Frank for advice, and at the same time, he began to learn and sell things to speed up.
Karma Taj's sorcerer is so hated, this is something he did not expect. But now that he has boarded this thief ship, he doesn't bother to feel sorry for himself. The path he chose was right, and he didn't really regret choosing to take the path of mage. After all, he really had no other choice back then. If he didn't go this way, lying in a coffin and waiting to die would be his only ending. In comparison, although the current situation is rather miserable, at the very least, he can still fight against this fucking fate.
In his nature, he would not give up lightly, and naturally, at this time, he also tried his best to seek this chance of survival.
Fortunately, this is not difficult. With the cooperation of the two, all the ruins of Karma Taj have been renovated. And after Strange arranged all kinds of means according to the ancient master's statement, using the gossip in the Book of Changes and the hexagrams for the turning of the universe, a brilliance like a water curtain suddenly flickered on and off.
Strange judged the surrounding environment with the eyes of a mage, and he could already be sure that in this instant, the sun and the moon had changed to a new sky, and they were already in a legendary cave. .
Although he already had expectations in his heart, to be honest, this method was a bit beyond his imagination. Different from the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand before, although that method is powerful, it can be attributed to Master Gu Yi's powerful mana that penetrates heaven and earth. But the current situation is different. The current situation is clearly a pile of ruins. Just carving some runes similar to electronic circuits can create a small world without the blessing of any power. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart, is this the Eastern formation?
Regarding the formation, he has learned about it in the books of the temple. But understanding is very limited.
Because unlike Western magic circles, which were born out of rituals of worshiping gods, Eastern magic circles are derived from the Bagua of the Book of Changes. The former relies on the mystery, the more mysterious the existence of magic, the more it can exert the magic effect of the magic circle. For example, if you are the illegitimate child of a certain god, then you only need to draw a rough outline,
It can basically play a rough role.
But the Eastern Formation is different. If you want to master the power of the Formation, you must be proficient in the changes of the Eight Diagrams in the Book of Changes. Putting this requirement today, at least a master's degree in pure mathematics starts.
Few people can achieve such a point, and even among mages, there are few people who can master this kind of partial knowledge. In the entire New York temple, the only people Strange knows who can gossip about the Book of Changes are in twos and threes, but Master Gu Yi is the only one who can study this knowledge to the proficiency level, and can easily arrange such a grandiose cave. one of.
Once again, he deeply understood the power of the Ancient One mage, from another aspect. And it is precisely because of this that he is more and more full of longing for his future.
Don't forget, the real Supreme Sorcerer is dead, and this one is just a false phantom. And as the chosen successor of the supreme mage, he who holds the eye of Agamotto is the contemporary supreme mage. In other words, he has the right to obtain everything from Master Ancient One, whether it is knowledge or power.
Although no one had ever made such a request, he felt that he had to be better than Master Gu Yi.
This aspect is for his teacher, Baron Mordo. Anyway, Mordo was his teacher. And it is precisely because Modu gave him such an opportunity that he is qualified to get everything today. This is what he owes to Mo Du, so he must use better achievements to prove to everyone that it was not a mistake for Modu to choose him.
Of course, this is only one factor, and the other factor is for himself. After seeing the turmoil in the world, he knows that only if he is stronger than the Ancient One, he is qualified to fight against the so-called destiny. And no matter what the purpose is, even if it is just to protect himself and the people around him, he needs a stronger power than the ancient one.
After all, in such a fucking world, even Mage Gu Yi could only die of exhaustion in front of such an opponent. If he doesn't become stronger, he really doesn't know how to die.
Of course, you can also say that with such power, why do you have to be an enemy of that kind of monster. It's not like those mortals who have nothing but close their eyes and wait for death in the face of disaster. Even if you can't fight this kind of disaster, can't you escape far before the disaster arrives?
It's not that Strange hasn't thought about it, it's just that he knows a truth, that is, when the tide pushes you forward, you actually don't have much choice. If you want to walk away, the enemy may not give you such a chance. And even if they gave you such an opportunity, can you really leave everything behind and ignore it?
As a human being, this is very difficult, because as long as you are not alone, there will always be a bond of one kind or another entangled in you. Family, love, friendship, these are not things that can be ignored. If one day, you have to abandon these for your own life. Even if you survived in the end, I'm afraid you can only struggle with pain and guilt for the rest of your life. In that way, it's really not as good as being dead.
No matter what others think, Strange has such an idea anyway. And it is precisely because of this that he is so eager for the power that belongs to the supreme mage.
Not only him, Frank is also yearning for this power. However, compared with Strange, he lacked a righteous reputation. One is to consider his ability, and the other is to consider his identity. Master Gu Yi still did not choose her personal disciple to inherit the title of Supreme Master.
His ability is insufficient, and giving him such a name and wealth will only push him into danger. To put it bluntly, as long as those ambitious mages know his identity, they will most likely use all means to seize this wealth that belongs to him. And can he keep this wealth with his ability? The answer is of course impossible.
In comparison, Strange is different. Although he is also a beginner, Strange has a combat power comparable to that of a top mage. Knowledge is knowledge and combat is combat. Although the former is the standard for judging the level of a mage, it is undeniable that whether the other party dares to provoke you, and whether they can provoke you, is based on the latter.
This was one of the key points that Mage Gu Yi considered at the beginning, and another point was that she was a little worried about the identity of her disciple.
Indeed, at that time, she had a mentality of positioning Frank as her heir. And this is clearly revealed in his heart, otherwise Mo Du would not have done that kind of thing out of resentment. Having said that, there is a premise for this idea. That is, Mage Ancient One needs to ensure that Frank under his own teaching will be a qualified mage.
Not only does she have the level of strength and knowledge reserves that her own disciples should have, but more importantly, he must have a worldview that is in line with the status of a mage. After all, if he becomes the supreme mage, then he has almost all the magic knowledge in the world in his hands. And if this knowledge is revealed casually, it will undoubtedly cause endless harm to the order of the entire human world.
What ordinary people lack the most is self-control. Perhaps under the order of normal society, they can correct their behavior in accordance with legal and moral norms. However, once they have the power to transcend legal and moral sanctions, it is already somewhat impossible for them to abide by this basic order honestly.
This is a very simple reason. When you can eat meat with your hands, it is absolutely impossible for you to just squat there and eat ashes. With power, people have the qualifications to obtain what they want without trading means. And if there are too many people like this, the world will naturally collapse.
Of course, today's world has been reduced to such a state, and the world can be said to be, no matter how broken it is, it is impossible to go anywhere. But people always have to think about the long-term. If you release this knowledge now, it will not be so easy to get it back when the world returns to peace in the future.
And it's not just a matter of order. To put it in a more ugly place, the government should actually consider things like order. If the person who is the Supreme Mage is not so responsible, he can spread the knowledge and promote the civilization of human magic in the name of euphemism development of.
It's not that such idiots have raised such opinions in the history of mages, and the reason why Gu Yi has always insisted on a conservative strategy is not to say that she is really so old-fashioned. It is actually beneficial to her to allow the development of magic civilization. At the very least, when facing the invasion of the mysterious side, her subordinates will have more effective forces.
Even if most of them are just cannon fodder, they can more or less play a role. It's like if she is going to war with hell, with so many cannon fodder, she doesn't need to cooperate with the human government. She can teach hell a good lesson just by relying on her own disciples and grandchildren.
This is an obvious benefit, and it is impossible for her not to see it. The main reason why she still didn't choose to do this was that she was more worried about the situation after the magic got out of control.
Baron Mordo is a good example. There are never a few mages like him who have been bewitched and fallen by evil magic. He's not the first, and he won't be the last. Fortunately, when the number of mages is strictly controlled, although there are such people, they will not spread to an unstoppable level. The question is, if magic spreads to all mankind, who will stop these fallen mages born on the basis of all mankind?
This will be a difficult problem, and it is precisely because of this problem that Gu Yi gave up on Frank in the end.
She didn't have time to teach Frank these things, and judging from Frank's mind and the relationship between him and his family, once he became the supreme mage, his position would almost inevitably be biased towards his father's side.
Gu Yi put Stark together, so he knew exactly what kind of dilemma Stark would face. As a good son, when faced with his father's predicament, Frank is almost certain that he will abuse the power of magic into his father's camp. This is the worst situation, because since then, how the world will change because of magic is something that no one can predict.
Gu Yi knew this very well, so she chose Strange in the end. And Strange obviously didn't know about all aspects that Ancient One considered.
It is different from the ancient one who has been afraid of human government regimes and human leaders like Stark. Strange has a very good sense of Stark, and even said that he once thought that this is the most wise and great leader role he has ever seen.
Although once a member of the elite, at the end of the day, the profession of medicine is about serving others. They can only earn fame and money, but not the resources and power that truly belong to the power class. This also determines that their vision is not wide enough.
If he is an old antique like Master Gu Yi who has lived for thousands of years, then with his experience, he can see the essence of these politicians and understand that their actions are not purely for justice or other high-sounding things. It's a pity he wasn't, and in what he saw, what he saw was Stark's efforts for this country, and how he was always the first to stand up against Hell and Dormammu Such a horrible thing.
Although this is not enough to make him worship Stark like an idol, it is enough to make him have enough affection for Stark. This extends to Frank, even though he is sheltering Frank, he will inevitably take some of his emotions into consideration.
"Frank, maybe you don't need to hide here like me. Unlike my obvious goal, few people know about your relationship with her, so as long as you are careful, you can return to your normal life. .”
"And then waiting to be approached by my father's enemies and taken hostage?"
Faced with Strange's kindness, Frank immediately rolled his eyes.
"I know what you want to say, but what I want to tell you is, doctor, you are thinking too simply. My father abolished such a big Zhou Zhang. It's not because he doesn't care about me. If it's not It is impossible for him to do this if he encounters an opponent who is difficult for him to deal with. My mother and I are safe only by your side. And until he solves the problem, I don't think it would be a bad idea to leave you without authorization. What a great idea."
