The black car drove slowly into the center of Greenwich Village and stopped in front of a three-story building.
"General, we're here."
The young driver, dressed in a crisp military uniform, respectfully opened the door.
Luke, who was leaning on the back seat, nodded and got out.
His eyes fell on the door number, and then he looked up at the circular window at the top.
"This is it."
After confirming that he had found the right place, Luke's lips curved into a smile.
The house that comes into view is the New York Sanctuary.
Kama Taj once created three time and space nodes around the world, and this is one of them.
Among the many mages on the North American continent, there is no one who does not know the existence of the Sanctuary.
"You won't avoid me this time?"
Luke's eyes flickered and he thought to himself.
One month after arriving in this world, he tried to find the New York Sanctuary.
At that time, the plug-in had not been activated for a long time, and when I learned that I had arrived at the Marvel Studios, I felt full of insecurity.
As a time traveler, a time and space stowaway in a sense.
Luke took the risk and approached the secret sanctuary in New York's West Village.
Thinking that maybe he was gifted, he was noticed by the Supreme Mage at a glance and accepted as his disciple.
From then on, the life path of becoming a legendary mage begins.
Regrettably, Luke wandered around Brick Street in Greenwich Village for more than a month without finding the house with the house number 117A.
Obviously, the Supreme Mage did not take a fancy to him.
This cruel fact made Luke depressed for a long time.
The New York Sanctuary is a magical building and its location will not change.
But whether you can discover and find it depends on fate.
For example, Doctor Strange from the future.
After just wandering around Kathmandu, I was taken to Kama Taj by the disciple of the Supreme Master, Modu, and reached the pinnacle of life.
Luke, on the other hand, kept going to Brick Street to sign in and clock in no matter the weather, but he got nothing.
His abnormal behavior even made Rogers and Bucky suspicious.
He thought that his friend ended his single life behind his back and fell into the warm and charming embrace of a young girl.
"Master Gu Yi is already waiting inside."
The moment Luke stepped out of the car, the closed door of the New York Sanctuary suddenly opened.
The space is like folded and interlaced mirrors, presenting a confusing and complex scene.
A dark-skinned mage wearing vintage robes came out with a peaceful smile.
"Mr. Major General, please come in."
His attitude was quite friendly, and he bowed slightly to invite.
Luke nodded gently and walked directly into the door without any hesitation.
After the last all-night talk with the Supreme Mage, the two initially reached a consensus on cooperation.
The only thing missing is probably the troublemaker Kang the Conqueror, who has yet to show his face.
"Mr. Major General, please don't mind. Master Gu Yi said that he does not want outsiders to enter the sanctuary."
Luke stood at the gate and followed the black mage's gaze.
The young driver who originally wanted to catch up seemed to be stuck in a time loop.
Continuously repeat the action of closing the car door and stepping on the steps.
It was as if someone had intercepted a tributary for a while and made him fall into it.
"I can understand."
Luke curled his lips. The Supreme Mage was truly a master at playing with time.
The scene presented to the young driver is much more complicated than time being suspended.
Extract the established facts that have happened and intercept them into time tributaries.
As long as you are nested, you will be able to escape easily.
If it were lower than Heavenly Father level, he might not even be able to detect it.
Luke wasn't surprised by this either.
The first supreme mage, Agamotto, had held the Time Stone for a long time and sealed it in a special magic weapon. He placed countless spells on it for protection and used it as a magic weapon.
Ancient One, who later took over the position, almost never left this supreme magic weapon called the "Eye of Agamotha" and often played with it and figured it out.
Manipulating time branches and pausing time are all child's play for them.
"Even if the Supreme Mage has a world substitute, it may not be that easy to deal with my double A of strength and speed, plus the Platinum Star with magic immunity."
Luke was joking in silence as he stepped into the door and looked at the architectural layout inside the sanctuary.
On the first floor are the living room and public library.
Several mages in retro robes hurried past holding several thick books.
They either lowered their heads and thought, or frowned and said nothing.
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
Several strong, gray-faced figures came out.
Each one was wearing armor and carrying heavy weapons such as axes and flails.
"Is this also... a mage?"
Luke asked, tilting his head.
"The hell dimension has been uneasy recently. They are all members of the Holy Knights, specializing in destroying some low-level demons that have infiltrated into the main universe."
The black mage explained.
“Kama Taj has always had cooperative relationships with secular hermitages and religious institutions.”
Luke looked understanding.
To put it more directly, the Holy Knights and the Church are used as tools.
Follow the black mage to the second floor. This is the living area with many guest rooms.
It is worth mentioning that there are teleportation windows to all parts of the world hung on the walls.
They each show different appearances such as dense forests, mountain peaks, and the sea, and there are rotating mechanisms with shining lights next to them.
Keep going up.
The third floor is the most important area of the sanctuary.
Used to place and display magic props, as well as practice meditation.
Luke followed the black mage and entered here.
Logically speaking, he, an outsider, was not qualified to set foot.
It's just that Gu Yi has always been informal, which is in sharp contrast to the rigid and strict Agamoduo.
Along the way, Luke saw many familiar magic weapons.
The most eye-catching thing is the magic floating cloak displayed in the glass cabinet.
Doctor Strange's signature equipment!
"They are all here waiting for their destined owners."
With a new look, Master Gu Yi, wearing a white robe, was standing in front of a round window.
"Then it seems I'm not the one they're waiting for."
Luke said regretfully.
He also wanted to take some magic props along with him.
S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Invasion Team now only has Superman and Captain America.
Maybe Howard can be turned into a mage, and the upgrade path can be imitated by the unborn Lord Doom, and he can directly cultivate both science and magic.
Mage!
Output + human shield!
An auxiliary that attracts hatred!
A team that downloads a dungeon becomes it!
"Mr. Major General, the civilized war between Atlantis and the land world is about to break out. Shouldn't you be on the front line?"
Master Gu Yi smiled lightly.
"As you can see, the New York Sanctuary can't help much. The hell dimension has launched an invasion. We must focus on maintaining the time and space nodes."
Luke shook his head. He had never thought about asking the Supreme Mage to intervene to prevent this crisis. (End of chapter)
