Chapter 393 Avengers Adventure! (Part 2)
When Peter and Strange were pulled into the Mind Palace, they were still a little confused. Strange was used to coming to the Dream Base after falling asleep. What made him feel strange was why the landing location this time was not in the familiar high-level conference room, but in the corridor of a high tower?
Peter simply didn't understand what was going on. He remembered that he was playing games in front of the game console in the last second, and suddenly appeared in a strange place in the next second.
Charles looked at Peter helplessly and said, "Child, I'm not that kind of old-fashioned parent, but playing games at 3 a.m. is really a bit..."
Peter scratched his head, showing an embarrassed expression. Looking at Stark's not-so-good face, Peter explained, "It's not like this every day, but a new game was released recently."
"Speaking of which, where is this? Why did I suddenly come here, and why are you all here?"
Peter frowned and said, "My spider sense didn't work at all. How did you get me here?"
Charles explained the situation here to the two people who had just arrived, and then he said, "Dr. Connors is also staying up late to do research, but because the research he is doing is very important, it may be dangerous to stop suddenly, so I didn't pull him here..."
Stark said, "Huh," "That's not what you said when you hypnotized me to come here directly."
Charles sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I can pull him here now, as long as you can accept that there will be hundreds of big lizards running in New York City tomorrow."
"No!" Steve said immediately.
"Professor Charles, I understand what you just said, so what should I do now?" Peter asked.
"Let's go to my world first to study the problem of magic."
Steve did not raise any objections, he just said: "Are you sure that more people can go in?"
·We can try it first, if it doesn't work, let Professor Charles pull us out, anyway, the two of them just came in, they are more energetic and can withstand a failure. "
"You go in together, I will stay outside to prevent any accidents. "Charles turned and walked towards the railing, and the others followed Stark to the door at the end of the corridor.
Stark walked into the door first. After a moment of daze, he returned to the boat. Sitting next to him were the three people who came in with him. They all turned back to their childhood appearance. Looking at each other, they couldn't help but giggle. The lights reflected on their innocent faces, making their eyes brighter than the stars.
What was more surprising was that the thinnest among them was Steve, who was originally the strongest. He was a thin and small boy wearing glasses, and looked like the most common nerd in school.
Peter didn't change much, because he was not old, but just a little smaller in proportion, and his face looked similar. Stark and Strange looked good when they were young, but Stark's eyes were particularly bright.
Except for Stark, the three people looked at their arms and bodies curiously. Stark turned back and shouted: "Don't laugh, row quickly, we have to get off the boat quickly, and we can only see the scenery inside by standing in the front row. ”…
The process from rowing, getting off the boat to the auditorium was exactly the same, as if playing a game all over again.
However, this time Peter was the first to be called. When he walked to the front of the chair, he wanted to grab the hat with his hands, but the Sorting Hat dodged it by tilting his head. When the hat was put on his head, he still wanted to grab the brim of the hat with his hands, but was stopped by the teacher in time.
"How do you work? Do you have a brain? Where are your legs? In the hat or on your brim?" Peter spit out a series of questions, and then he continued to ask: "They say you can sort people into colleges based on their different qualities, so how do you judge a person's qualities?"
"How many students have you sorted? Have you sorted them wrong? What if you sort them wrong?"
Then Peter heard the Sorting Hat take a deep breath, and suddenly, a deafening roar resounded in the auditorium:
"Gryffindor!
!
"
The next person to be sorted was Steve Rogers. He walked forward, took a curious look at the hat, and then sat down obediently. When the teacher put the hat on his head, the Sorting Hat made a low sound: "Hmm..."
"Determined, kind, and brave, child, you really surprise me, you have so many good qualities..."
Steve had already listened to Stark's preliminary introduction to the four colleges on the way just now. He asked the Sorting Hat: "Which college is more suitable for me?"
"In fact, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are both suitable for you, Ravenclaw is also OK, it depends on which college you want to choose. Do you need me to introduce it to you?"
"Gryffindor is a lion in the wilderness. They are brave and fearless. They always rush to the front. Of course, sometimes they will cause a lot of trouble because of their recklessness."
"Hufflepuff is a little badger in the cave. They are kind, united, and willing to share, but sometimes they are hesitant because of being too sentimental..."
"Oh! Wait! I feel it... You can't deceive yourself in this regard. You belong to-Hufflepuff!"
The table with the most people below cheered violently. Steve walked over with a smile, shook hands and hugged them. The Sorting Hat was right. When he heard the qualities of Hufflepuff, a voice in Steve's heart told him that he should belong here.
When Strange sat down, the Sorting Hat was silent for a long time, and then he asked: "There are many weird things in your mind. Where do they come from?"
"Don't worry about this. Which college should I go to?"
"No, no, no, I must remind you that there is a lot of taboo knowledge in your mind, which may endanger your safety. If you don't tell me where it comes from, I will shout it out now and let the teacher stop you and your parents."
The Sorting Hat said in a serious tone: "I really didn't expect that after the war, there would be pure-blood parents who taught their children these taboo black magic knowledge. Which family are you from?... … Hey, wait, what is your last name? I also know that if you don't want your secret to be discovered, then it is best ... "" Slaitelin. "When you read the name, the tone was a bit low, and it was completely unlike the previous high and excited, just like the echo from the distant history. The group of people in Strangqi was far from the enthusiasm of other colleges. One of the older steps stepped forward, shook hands with him, and said, "Welcome to here, you will not regret your choice, because we are Slaitelin." After the branch, they returned to each family. It was very amazing that the four were divided into four different colleges, so they could only wait for the two students to be together. The first spell class was taught by Ravenclaw and Slytherin together, so Stark could exchange some ideas with Strange on how to use spells.
Because Stark had already learned it once, he cast the levitation spell very easily. Strange did not move, he just focused on the wand in his hand, thinking about something. Stark saw his movement and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"You know? What I see from this wand is not a kind of power." Strange stared at the wand, as if recalling something, and said, "If you have lived in Kamar-Taj for a while, you will understand that magic and human society are completely out of touch."
"The education, production and distribution you have seen in human society are completely inapplicable in the magic world."
He He turned the wand in his hand and said, "What surprised me most is that in this dream, there is actually an industry that specializes in making magic tools. Did you hear them say it? There is a commercial street and a store that sells magic wands..."
Strange shook his head and continued, "In reality, this is almost impossible, because even if we have raw materials, methods, and producers, there are not so many customers."
"Why?" Strange asked himself and answered, "Because magic is still a subject that cannot be popularized. Whether a person can learn it does not depend on his learning ability, degree of effort, or time spent, but on his 's luck. ”
He looked up at the blackboard again and said, "Why do they have so many buyers and customers? I think the answer is here."
"They have a complete education system. Do you see it? There are teachers, students, and even textbooks and homework. They learn and grow here, and then graduate and become a member of the wizarding world, each doing their own job in this world."
Strange sighed and said, "From the moment I entered the universe, I thought that Kamar-Taj's mission to protect the earth would not end because of human development and strength. On the contrary, there are endless challenges waiting for us in the universe."
" Magic is the most special ability that humans can master. It may not be the sharpest spear, but it is definitely the most solid shield. How to make this shield harder to deal with the dangers that come one after another in the universe is a question I have been thinking about. "…
"There is no doubt that we should take the path of magic and technology in parallel. What magic is not as good as technology is its popularity. "
"In elementary school, ordinary humans will start from knowing numbers and doing addition and subtraction arithmetic, and learn advanced mathematics in college, but magic does not have this process. "
"Is it because of the nature of magic? Aren't you borrowing power from the devil?" Stark asked.
"Yes, but learning how to borrow power is only the first step of magic. The reason why human magic is magical is that we have developed unique magic technology. "
"Have you seen portals as convenient as ours in several civilizations in Andromeda? As powerful as the Kree, do they have mirror space? Can they use crimson ribbons?"
"Do you think they don't want to do this?"
"Human creativity is a treasure in any field, but the problem with magic is that the threshold to master these technologies is too high."
"Because we borrow power from the cosmic demon, young wizards are not allowed to borrow those overly powerful powers because they cannot control them. However, the less they practice, the less they can control. Therefore, only the most gifted among them can master these magic skills in this state of blind men touching elephants."
Strange lowered his head and looked at the small wooden stick. He said: "This gave me a new idea. Although the children who have just joined Kamar-Taj are not You can borrow power directly from the demons, but it is entirely possible for older wizards to borrow power and turn it into magic items like this wand. "
"In this way, younger wizards will also have the opportunity to gradually become familiar with magic. If they are combined with the same system as this school, and learn step by step, it may be possible to popularize magic."
"But the question is, what is the price of borrowing power? Who will pay?"
Strange looked at Stark in surprise and said, "Pay the price? When was that? Have you forgotten? The previous membership gifts and the membership fees paid by the demons are enough for us to use until the next century even if the great wizards are at full power."
Stark slapped his forehead. He forgot that Kamar-Taj has now changed from a buyer to a middleman, eating the plaintiff and then the defendant.
"Actually, what I want to learn most is the technology of making magic wands, but we can't seem to leave this school." Strange touched his face and said with a little regret: "I really want to know if they really have a way to produce magic items smoothly and efficiently?"
"Is there no such method in Kamar-Taj?" Stark asked curiously.
Strange shook his head and said: "Even if the Supreme Sorcerer wants to make a treasure for self-defense, it depends on luck. It is not always successful, but here..." Strange turned his head and looked at the students behind him and said: "Even the youngest wizards have a magic wand in their hands."
"Not only that, I heard that there are treasures left by the founders of the four academies. It would be nice if I could take a look at them." Stark said, touching his chin.
In fact, Stark is also very interested in casting. Although it is magic casting, it may not be impossible for him to use it. After all, he also has a magic energy core.
