Chapter 109 Learning Spells and Returning

Kevin held the tea, sipped it gently, and pondered the intention of the Ancient One.

She knew what she wanted and what she wanted to do.

But she was not wary of this outsider from the universe, and was even very kind.

This made Kevin wonder.

After all, whether it was the analysis of fans or the fan works, the Ancient One was portrayed as a person who was very wary of all foreign life.

Some Ancient Ones would seal outsiders without hesitation.

Some Ancient Ones would try to communicate with outsiders to determine whether the other party was an enemy that needed to be dealt with or a partner worth cooperating with.

It stands to reason that the current Ancient One should also be communicating with Kevin to determine which side Kevin belongs to.

But Kevin always felt that the other party's purpose seemed to be more than that.

Kevin, who was not very good at calculating, drank tea again and again, and he really couldn't figure out what the Ancient One was thinking.

He was silent for a while, and decided to skip thinking and ask directly:

"Then... Master Ancient One, can I touch this 'primer'?"

"Of course, anytime."

Ancient One generously spread his hands to Kevin, expressing his welcome to Kevin.

Her decisiveness made Kevin a little scared.

Is there any conspiracy here? For example, tricking a visitor from the outer universe into sealing him...

It's not that Kevin has paranoia, but mainly that Ancient One's current behavior is really abnormal for Kevin.

Even if Kevin killed Thanos, repelled Ultron, and protected this universe, Ancient One should not have no suspicion of him as an outsider.

Or...

What did she see with the Time Stone?

Facing this super boss who suppressed several dimensions, Kevin finally decided to ask in person, so as to save himself from being nervous.

Thinking of this, Kevin put down the tea and asked bluntly:

"Master Ancient One, your attitude towards me seems too friendly. I'd like to ask, did you see any future?"

"Indeed, I saw something about your future."

Ancient One said with a smile.

Kevin was relieved to hear this:

"In that future, I should have done something beneficial to the universe, so you would have this attitude towards me."

"You know me well, Kevin."

"Of course."

"Then you will understand that I will not tell others about the future casually, because I want to make sure that the future I see will definitely come."

Ancient One became a riddler.

But Kevin can understand it.

Just like Doctor Strange has watched the ending of the Avengers tens of millions of times without spoiling it, Master Ancient One must also be responsible for the future he has seen and cannot spoil the ending to the relevant personnel.

Although Kevin doesn't think that the ending of Avengers 4 is the only solution, not telling the ending is not necessarily the best solution.

But facing the Dimension Guardians, Kevin is willing to understand them and accept the fact that they are Riddlers.

Well, the main reason is that he can't beat them.

However, since the Ancient One was so friendly to Kevin because he saw Kevin's future, Kevin didn't have to be too restrained in front of the Ancient One.

He instantly let go of his hands and feet, and became relaxed, saying to the Ancient One:

"Then Master Ancient One, it should be okay for me to contact magic now, right?"

"I said, of course."

The Ancient One smiled and stood up, turned around and led Kevin to the deeper part of Kamar-Taj.

When taking Kevin to the place where magic was practiced, the Ancient One explained to Kevin:

"Because of the future, I am willing to believe you and teach you the magic here, but you have to understand one thing."

"What?"

"The spells here are not suitable for you."

"I know, you have already said this."

"So if you want to achieve your goal, you need to use the spells here to build and perfect your own spells."

"...What do you mean?"

Kevin didn't understand what the Ancient One said.

Aren't all the spells in the Marvel Universe borrowed spells? Gain power from different dimensions and use magic in this way.

Since the power is borrowed, how can Kevin build and perfect his own magic?

"You don't need to understand now."

At this critical moment, Gu Yi once again became the annoying riddle man. She took Kevin to the door of a room and said to Kevin with a smile:

"You just need to learn. When you learn to a certain extent, you will naturally know what to do."

"Then... I want to learn magic now?"

"No, you need to rest first, Kevin, you are already very tired and need to rest."

Gu Yi said earnestly, pushing open the door in front of him.

Behind the door was not the place where Kevin expected to practice magic.

It was just an ordinary bedroom.

It seemed that it was a bedroom that Gu Yi prepared specifically for Kevin.

...

Learning magic is not something that can be done overnight, and Gu Yi did not plan to teach Kevin magic immediately.

She first got Kevin a lot of books, let Kevin understand the various terms in these books first, and then let Kevin get in touch with magic.

Kevin read these books over and over for a long time, but he could not understand the meaning of the terms in these books.

Seeing that this journey of learning magic was about to turn into a long tug-of-war, Kevin found Ancient One again:

"Master Ancient One, you should know that I don't have much time to learn magic here, and Ultron is still outside."

"I know, but I didn't say you must stay here to learn."

"Huh?"

Kevin was stunned.

Ancient One poured Kevin a cup of tea again:

"It's not difficult to master theoretical knowledge. All you need is time, and you happen to have a lot of time."

Kevin's eyes moved slightly:

"You mean..."

"That's what I mean. Take the backup of these books and go back to your own world, Kevin. Once you have mastered the knowledge on them, you can come back to start our next stage of courses and get in touch with magic."

Ancient One said softly, and smiled kindly at Kevin again.

Kevin was not surprised by this. Ancient One really knew that he was not from this universe, and he might have thought of letting Kevin do this a long time ago.

Otherwise, Ancient One would not have given Kevin so many obscure books right away.

In fact, Kevin also wanted to go back to the Black Robe World, but Kevin was worried about one thing.

That is the flow of time in both worlds.

When Kevin traveled through the Marvel World, the Black Robe World would stop time under the influence of the skill tree.

This is because Kevin paid skill points.

Then it stands to reason that after returning, Kevin can also use skill points to pause the time of the Marvel World.

However, until now, the skill tree has not been able to give him any hints in this regard.

Not to mention that Kevin only has one skill point now.

This was obtained when he was learning spells in Kamar-Taj these days.

So Kevin was very worried. What if he only stayed for a few days when he returned, but several years or even decades had passed here?

Kevin expressed his concerns:

"Master Gu Yi, it's a matter of time..."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Yi interrupted Kevin and suddenly stretched his hands to both sides, pinching the spell.

Kevin then noticed that the Eye of Agamotto was on the chest of Ancient One today!

And at this moment, the Eye of Agamotto was slowly opening with the action of Ancient One, revealing the Time Gem that was emitting green light.

The green light was radiating in front of the two people, and Ancient One gently waved his right hand, and both sides turned into mirror shapes.

A simple mirror space wrapped the two people in it.

And after that, the green light spread from Ancient One's chest and extended to every corner of the mirror space.

"Master Ancient One, this is..."

"Time Gem, you know, it will fix your time at this moment, no matter how long you leave, it will be at this moment when you come back."

Ancient One explained with a smile.

The problem that troubled Kevin was solved in a casual conversation.

Using the Time Gem to help him fix time, what kind of great things he would do in this universe in the future to make Ancient One help him so unconditionally.

He even did not hesitate to use the Time Gem that he had been guarding.

To be honest, Kevin really feels unworthy now.

Ancient One's optimism about him was like an elder pointing at him and saying, "This child will definitely have a promising future, I won't be wrong." He inexplicably bore the expectations that he shouldn't have, which made him feel very stressed.

Looking at Ancient One with a complicated feeling, Kevin finally suppressed the idea of ​​asking what would happen in the future and thanked Ancient One:

"Thank you, Master Ancient One."

"It's okay, it's just a small matter."

Ancient One still maintained a kind smile.

Kevin took a deep breath, holding a large number of copies of books recommended by Ancient One in his hand, and put them into his backpack to prepare to return to the black robe world.

Before leaving, Kevin heard Ancient One calling him:

"Kevin."

"Hmm?"

"When you go back, think carefully about what you want to do. What you desire should not be just money."

"......?"

Kevin was a little confused by Ancient One's "warning", but seeing that the other party gave him so many preferential treatments, Kevin still gave a serious response:

"I know, I will think carefully after I go back, Master Ancient One."

"Then see you later."

"Uh...Okay, see you later."

For Ancient One, it's goodbye later, but for Kevin, I don't know how long I will stay there before seeing each other again.

Finally, I sorted out what I gained in the Marvel world.

Those alien high-tech, some hacking technology using the raccoon rocket, and biotechnology "stolen" from the Avengers.

And the copies of the magic books that Ancient One gave Kevin.

After confirming that nothing was left behind, Kevin opened the skill tree and confirmed to return to his original world.

The dazzling light shone again, making Kevin unable to open his eyes. After a few seconds, the light faded away. When Kevin opened his eyes again, he had returned to the black robe world.

"Time, time... Yeah, nothing has changed."

Kevin looked at the night view outside the window, and then at the clock in the room.

The current time is exactly the time when he left, exactly the same.

The skill tree is indeed trustworthy. Paying three skill points can really stop the time in the black robe world, allowing Kevin to travel to the other universe without anyone knowing.

Feeling tired and stretching, Kevin fell on the bed, with his right hand on his forehead to rest.

But when he noticed the ring on his hand, Kevin remembered one thing:

"Oh, by the way, the reality gem has not been returned."

Kevin promised the collector that he would return the reality gem after the threat was eliminated, and Kevin did not intend to break the contract.

It was just because Ultron had not been resolved that Kevin did not return to the collector to return the gem to him.

Besides, the Asgardian gods seemed to have no objection to him holding the reality gem.

But he didn't expect that he didn't notice it and brought it here.

Looking at the gem, Kevin tried to use the gem's ability, but it didn't work.

"Sure enough, after leaving the Marvel world, this thing is just an ordinary gem."

Buzz-buzz-

Kevin was still studying the reality gem that had lost its function, and a familiar vibration sound came to his ears.

That was Kevin's mobile phone in the black robe world.

Kevin hadn't used his phone for a long time since leaving, and he was a little uncomfortable with the vibration sound of his phone.

He pressed the answer button in a hurry, and a voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Kevin, come to my office tomorrow. I want to talk to you about the newcomer of the Seven Team. Of course, it's not Shockwave, but another newcomer."

That was Edgar's voice.
