EP One Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Four. Accepted

Only three to five minutes passed.

An orange-red fire ring emerged out of thin air, and Master Daniel led Strange, who looked slightly embarrassed, through the portal and came to Shi Xiaolei.

"Good afternoon, Locke."

"You too, Daniel." Shi Xiaolei stretched out his arms for a hug, then turned to look at the other guest beside Daniel: "Long time no see, Doctor Strange."

"Hello, Mr. Locke. I hope you don't mind when I come to disturb you suddenly."

"How could it be, haha." While smiling, Shi Xiaolei took the initiative to extend his right hand: "Welcome to my home as a guest. Okay, that's all for the polite words. After all, you are the direct disciple of Master Gu Yi. From this relationship, Come to think of it, you can already be considered one of your own."

"Locke is right, don't be restrained, just relax a little." Daniel also smiled and comforted him.

"Thank you." Seeing the atmosphere like this, Strange's expression relaxed a little, and a gentleman's smile appeared on his face.

Not only was Shi Xiaolei in the courtyard, but the two maids who had just finished their lunch break were also trimming flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Seeing the guests arriving, Qiao Xi quickly put down her work and straightened her skirt, then stepped forward to perform her duties as a maid: "Master..."

"You came just in time." Before Qiao Qian could ask, Shi Xiaolei spoke first: "Qiao Qian, please help me prepare some tea and snacks, please."

"Okay." Nodding in agreement, Josie looked up at Daniel and Strange: "Two guests, can you have black tea? In addition, there are coffee, juice and beer to choose from."

"Just black tea."

"Yes, me too."

Daniel was in front, Strange followed closely behind, and the two of them responded one after another.

Qiao Xi smiled slightly to show that she had received it, and looked at Shi Xiaolei one last time: "Master, are you sending it directly here? Or..."

"Shall we go and chat in the study?" There was no answer. Shi Xiaolei turned to Daniel and suggested: "Or you can find a place outside to sit and chat. I can do either. It depends on what you like."

"The weather is pretty good today, so we'd better choose outside." Pointing to the stone table and bench not far away, Daniel smiled and said, "I think it's pretty good there."

"OK." Nodding, Shi Xiaolei smiled and gestured to Qiao Qian: "Did you hear that?"

"Yes, Master. Tea and snacks will be delivered shortly."

Watching Qiao Qian turn and leave, Shi Xiaolei raised his hand to signal and took a step forward: "You two, let's go over."

Not far away, they arrived at the stone table and benches. The three of them sat down and started chatting.

The first person to ask questions was Shi Xiaolei. He looked at Strange first and asked curiously: "Doctor Strange, why did you suddenly change your profession and become a mage apprentice, and why did you become a direct disciple of Master Gu Yi? I guess There must be a very twisty and magical story here. If you don’t mind, can you tell me about it?”

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this." Shi Xiaolei's words brought back memories from more than half a month ago. Strange smiled with emotion on his face: "That's what happened. About half a month ago Before, I applied for a vacation from the hospital and went to Nepal. I planned to take advantage of the opportunity to go around the Himalayas..."

That's it, blah blah.

It took seven or eight minutes for Strange to vividly recount what he had encountered.

Although some details are omitted, such as the feeling of being on the verge of death after being injured, or the shock and surprise after visiting Kama Taj. However, from when he encountered an accident, to when he was rescued by Ancient One, to when he reshaped his outlook on life and decided to give up his career as a doctor, he chose to join the magic world and become a mage... everything in the whole process The nodes were explained clearly enough, not a single one was missed.

After hearing these words, Shi Xiaolei fell into surprise.

It's not that he was surprised by Strange's series of adventures. The reason why he was so surprised was that the things Strange encountered were of the same nature as the routine that appeared in the original plot. But the specific direction is completely different.

To put it bluntly, it was this paradoxical feeling that made Shi Xiaolei, as a time traveler, truly feel that the line of fate was being tightened.

"...This is really...well." Not knowing what to say, after thinking for a long time, Shi Xiaolei could only scratch the back of his head: "I feel like I am listening to a fantasy."

"I feel like I'm in a dream myself." Strange nodded and showed a sympathetic smile.

"Actually, it's not too special." Daniel was the only one with a calm expression. He interrupted and said, "Including apprentices, there are hundreds of mages gathered at Kama Taj. Everyone has their own There are many stories that are more magical than this. Haha, it is beyond common sense for ordinary people to become a mage. It is impossible to get this opportunity without some adventure, right? "

"Well, that's true." After thinking about it, it made sense, and Shi Xiaolei laughed again.

We chatted happily and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

After a while, Daniel finally brought up the topic and told Shi Xiaolei the purpose of visiting him today.

"Resign smoothly without exposing the truth?"

"The main thing is that I don't want to implicate other people." Looking at Shi Xiaolei, Strange said with a pleading face: "I don't care about myself, even if I need to pay more money, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have decided to become a mage. Those belongings in this world are of no use to me anymore. I’m afraid that if things don’t go well, my friends in the hospital will be hurt. Mr. Locke, can you help me?”

Before Shi Xiaolei could answer, Daniel added a few words and introduced Strange's original plan.

"... After thinking about it, I feel that his idea is really too far, and it is not an ordinary trouble." Finally, Daniel shrugged and looked at Shi Xiaolei: "So I followed him I made a suggestion and brought him over to ask you for help. Locke, you should be able to handle it, right? I mean it doesn’t take much effort.”

"Of course, this matter is not difficult. It is easy to arrange." When Daniel added the explanation, Shi Xiaolei had already figured out how to proceed. Catching their gazes, he smiled relaxedly: "Leave it to me, and I'll make sure it's done beautifully for you without any further trouble."
