What could possibly go wrong with Karma Taj
Such questions ran through Luke's head.
In this era, the future Supreme Mage Strange is not even an embryo.
The designated successor did not appear, and Gu Yi's trick of being stabbed to death by his traitors, using it to escape, and taking the opportunity to retire early, there is no need to use it for the time being.
"Then go straight to Greenwich Village."
Luke mused.
He planned to go to the New York Sanctuary first.
Anyway, SHIELD's work is not rushed.
Instead of burying yourself in a variety of boring documents.
If you are participating in one social banquet and boring meeting after another, it is better to go to Kathmandu to relax.
He had not forgotten that the Supreme Mage had previously promised to open Kama Taj's magic training course to him.
"Let Howard rest for a while. Now take him to Karma Taj and train with those **** mages. I guess this guy's body will be completely hollowed out."
Luke thought silently while staring at the scenery outside the window.
Amelia, the elder vampire, has a superb juice-squeezing ability.
Howard, whose physical fitness is only at the average level, is no match for him.
A sore back, weak legs, and exhaustion are all normal phenomena.
Without getting the wind immediately, he is already considered to be extremely powerful.
After about forty minutes' drive, Luke arrived at Brick Street in Greenwich Village.
Since becoming Superman, after having a friendly conversation with the Sorcerer Supreme.
The three major sanctuaries no longer refused his visits, and their attitude towards him was quite kind.
"Mr. Lieutenant General, please come in."
There seemed to be magical settings similar to induction wards around the New York Sanctuary building.
As soon as Luke stepped out of the car, the Nico mage who had greeted him appeared at the door at the right time.
The dark face still has a charming smile like a magic stick, which makes people want to kick him hard for no reason.
"Paige, please go back first. Help me push away the meetings at the Pentagon and the White House. Just say that I have other things to deal with."
Luke turned around and said to the commander of SHIELD.
His intuition told him that if the mage from the New York Sanctuary took the initiative to come to his door, it would definitely not be a little trouble.
"Okay. But as for Mr. President... forget it, let's wait until you come back."
Carter frowned slightly and stopped talking.
Luke noticed the strange behavior of the female agent, but he didn't ask any more questions. Master Nigo was still waiting at the entrance of the sanctuary.
"Mr. Lieutenant General, Master Russell has been informed of your visit and has prepared tea in the reception room on the second floor."
Luke, who had been here several times, was familiar with the route and walked straight up the stairs.
He pushed open the second-to-last house in the corridor. In the antique reception room, an old man with a white beard sat.
The other party is "Russell" as Master Nigo calls him, and he is also the manager of the New York Sanctuary.
The system established by the Supreme Master actually treats Kama Taj as a talent training institution.
Cultivate and train the disciples who are willing to stay and follow you.
If the results are passed, there is no objection to fighting.
After graduation, they will be assigned to the three major sanctuaries and go to various places to perform tasks.
Only those with outstanding performance and extraordinary talents are qualified to become managers of the sanctuary.
An old mage like Russell, despite his age, speaks slowly.
Now that he can become the department head of the New York Sanctuary, he must have been a muscular man before—the kind who could kill a Bengal tiger with one punch.
The current mage has long since gotten rid of the weak image of the past.
You need to lift weights every day, exercise, wear heavy armor, and lift giant swords, flails, and axes to be considered qualified!
Because signing a contract and borrowing the power of the dimension requires paying a price.
If you don't have a strong enough body, you will die within a few years.
"Please take a seat, Lieutenant General Cavell."
Master Russell with a kind smile handed him a cup of good tea.
This old man with a white beard is very interested in Chinese culture.
The tea ceremony is one of them.
"Well, it's improved compared to last time. The master's understanding of making and drinking tea has become more profound."
Luke lowered his head and sniffed, and a refreshing fragrance hit his nostrils.
Holding the porcelain cup in hand, he took a sip of the translucent tea soup.
The taste is delicate and mellow, with a hint of sweetness in the bitterness.
"Haha, haha. Lieutenant General Cavill still has good taste."
Master Russell nodded with satisfaction after receiving the compliment.
"Those people in the sanctuary only drink vodka, whiskey, and cola soda! How do they understand the beauty of tea?"
Luke looked at the old man with a white beard and spoke in a serious manner, which seemed very interesting.
"Master Russell, you specifically asked someone to come to SHIELD to find me. Is there something wrong?"
After chatting for a few words to set the mood, he got to the point.
"It's like this, Lieutenant General Cavell. The Supreme Mage is no longer at Kama Taj. Before she left, she specifically told you that if she encounters any difficult problems, she can come to you..."
The old mage cleared his throat and said slowly.
The Ancient One wasn't in Kama Taj
Luke's eyes flickered, as if he had guessed something.
Could it be that a certain timeline is out of order and requires the Supreme Mage to restore order
"What virtues and abilities do I have to be able to help the three major sanctuaries?"
Luke chuckled and remained humble, but in his heart he wondered if the Supreme Mage took advantage of the business trip to take advantage of the opportunity to fish, right
According to Gu Yi's casual style of doing things, the possibility of this is not low.
"Lieutenant General Cavell doesn't know. Probably a few days ago, there were energy fluctuations in the monitoring networks of the three major sanctuaries."
Master Russell raised his right hand, and the hanging ring on it sparkled, emitting magic fluctuations.
As a high-level mage, the originally cumbersome spells and magic circles seemed to come at your fingertips, and a teleportation portal was quickly opened.
Luke put down his teacup, followed the old mage who got up, and walked in.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Only the bells echoed.
A puff of green smoke floats in the air, as if you are in a temple.
"This is... Karma Taj."
Luke paused and thought slightly hesitantly.
The legendary Kama Taj is a holy place in the mind of the mage and the center of operation of the three major sanctuaries!
What did the old mage want to do by bringing him here
"plz follow me."
Master Russell, who remains mysterious, acts as a guide.
Luke followed closely behind.
He looked around, sizing up this hidden cultivation place shrouded in a mysterious veil.
You can see towers standing like stone forests, and from time to time, hermits wearing robes of different colors or trained mages walk out of them.
They were holding books or magic weapons in their hands, scattered in groups, scattered everywhere.
"Are these all practitioners?"
Luke asked curiously.
"Some of it is, some of it isn't."
Master Russell smiled.
"There is no airtight wall in the world. Even though Kamal Taj is located among the mountains and is extremely steep and difficult to climb, there are traces of its existence."
"There are always some outsiders who are good at inquiring about information. They learned about the location of Kama Taj through many channels. They came here with various demands and passed the test set by the mage."
"Most of them are lost travelers who have encountered setbacks and are confused."
"There are also poor people who are terminally ill and enduring pain."
Luke glanced around and did see some mutilated monks and monks.
"After coming to Kama Taj and achieving their goals, some of these people will return to this world and continue their original lives."
"Some choose to stay, continue to explore the mysteries of the soul and self, and enter the palace of magic."
There was a trace of respect in Master Russell's eyes, and he sighed: "The Supreme Master never interfered with the decisions they made. Decades and centuries passed by, and countless visitors found Kama Taj. She always Just watch quietly, patiently listen to everyone's tragic fate, and then solve the mystery in their hearts."
"For Master Ancient One, this may just be part of the way the world works."
Luke smiled.
Those same things may have happened countless times on different timelines.
The two of them entered the hall while chatting.
"This is the most important place of Kama Taj. The three doors lead to different sanctuaries."
Master Russell did not deliberately conceal it and said it generously.
"The globe above is actually a magic weapon."
"Created by the Supreme Mage himself, it is similar to the radar equipment in the human world and can monitor energy fluctuations at time nodes."
"If there is an invasion by creatures from other dimensions, we will find it immediately and make emergency plans!"
Luke raised his head and looked at the huge copper ball that was slowly spinning and flowing with light.
"If you find me, it's unlikely that Dormammu took advantage of the Ancient One Mage to launch an invasion, right?"
he said half-jokingly.
That's a serious dimensional demon.
The template level LV2 Superman has only just entered the Heavenly Father level, and there is still a slight gap between him and Odin who is at the peak.
Based solely on combat power, Luke should have little chance of winning against Dormammu.
Unless Ancient One is willing to lend the Eye of Agamotto and let him go to the dark dimension to negotiate terms.
"It's not that serious. The Supreme Mage just went to the dark dimension not long ago. Dormammu should not reach out to the earth again in a short period of time."
Hearing the old mage's answer, Luke couldn't help but observe a second of silence for Dormammu.
It's okay for Gu Yi to forcefully harvest the wool. As a debtor, he would go to the creditor's territory to cause trouble no matter what.
These days, it is indeed the uncle who is in debt.
"There is a problem with the time node, and there are abnormal energy fluctuations."
Russell looked solemn and said: "After careful investigation, we suspect that Kang the Conqueror came to this world with the help of a time and space shuttle machine!" (End of Chapter)
