Luke was silent for a moment. If the Marvel studio was compared to a game, then he was making a camp decision at this time.
As mentioned before, the only purpose of the three major sanctuaries and the Supreme Mage is to protect the earth.
To be more precise, it should be to resist alien creatures outside the main universe.
For example, the Annihilation Zerg in the negative space once destroyed the Nova Legion - this was also a strange group with more than five people, and its combat power dropped by 90%.
Then there is Dormammu from the dark dimension, a poor guy who suffered from Doctor Strange's time loop and infinite negotiations.
As well as those ancient gods, such as Sissos, the god of black magic, Seth, the snake god, and so on.
They existed four billion years ago. They are all indigenous gods of the earth born in the ancient comic book period. They belong to the background panel with few appearances.
His own strength is sometimes comparable to the five gods of the universe.
Due to the defense system established by the three major sanctuaries, it is difficult for these ancient bosses to interfere with the main universe.
Therefore, they either leave the earth or go to other dimensions.
The reason why the Supreme Mage can fight against the Dimensional Demon God is mainly because the background is strong enough.
The three major sanctuaries, the many mages of Kama Taj, signed a contract to jointly worship the trinity Vishan Emperor, composed of Oshutu, Agamotuo, and Hogs.
They rule white magic.
Among them, Oshutu is the ancient god, the same generation as Gaia, the mother of the earth.
Agamodha was the first Supreme Mage she trained.
Therefore, in Luke's view, the earth is simply one of the most dangerous places in the universe.
Outside there is Asgard, Odin, the King of Gods, and the most powerful man at the level of Heavenly Father.
There are three major sanctuaries inside, including the ancient mage, backed by the ancient gods.
Not to mention Thanos, even the invincible Galactus will probably fall down again when he comes.
"Why can't there be a third option?"
Facing the last question from the Supreme Mage, Luke's thoughts turned quickly and he quickly organized his words.
The Ancient One must have a way to determine the authenticity of his words, so deception and lies that go against his heart have no effect.
But answer truthfully—
Luke suspected that after hearing this, the Supreme Mage would directly create an infinite time loop to put himself into a ghostly state.
Therefore, he not only has to give a reasonable answer, but also has to prove that his existence does not pose any threat to the earth.
"The third type?"
Gu Yi was a little surprised and asked kindly.
Most of the time, she is a mage with a great temper.
Unlike the gang of muscular men in the sanctuary who carried flails, hammers, and heavy axes, equipped themselves with various defensive spells, and then yelled and smashed the demon's head.
Gu Yi is a moderate and will only tell you the truth.
Rough, physical means are the communication plan used to deal with die-hards.
Judging from Luke's good attitude, he seems to be able to communicate normally.
Therefore, the Supreme Mage is willing to be more patient and listen to the other party's explanation.
"For example, unite together and join forces to end the war before it starts and nip the disaster in the bud!"
Luke's eyes flashed, trying to look sincere, and said: "The enemies of the three major sanctuaries are hell demons and dimension demons. But there are far more people behind the scenes who are interested in the earth than them. Instead of waiting for a crisis to happen, , why not take the initiative to develop and strengthen yourself until you are confident enough to face any storm?"
The Supreme Mage shook her head. As the owner of the Time Stone and a foreseer of the future, she was more inclined to conservatism.
Interfering too much with the timeline will only lead to worse results.
"Of course, Asgard and Odin are the ones who stand up to deal with the threats among the stars. The mission of Karma Taj and the Sanctuary is to defend their own defenses."
Ancient One replied with a smile.
She had dealt with the King of Gods several times, and his strength was considered strong even in the multiverse.
With Asgard as a solid barrier to the Nine Realms, those alien empires and cosmic overlords who dare to provoke must seriously consider the consequences.
A long time ago, the great fame of Odin, his daughter Hela, and the Valkyrie Legion could be said to have resounded throughout the nine realms.
"But Ragnarok will always come, won't it?"
Luke reminded meaningfully.
The earth cannot rely on Odin and the Supreme Mage forever. As veteran strongmen, they will have to retire sooner or later.
By then, Thor, who takes over the throne, and Doctor Strange, who often suffers from kidney failure, may not be able to cope with the crises hidden among the stars.
"General Cavell, you really know a lot."
The Supreme Mage's eyes condensed, and he swept past like a sharp sword.
She is now becoming more and more curious about Luke's origins. The ancient prophecy of Ragnarok is unknown even to many people in Asgard.
"So, what do you want to do?"
The Supreme Mage asked with interest.
"You can change your thinking."
Luke was like an interviewer who was working tirelessly to sell himself. He said firmly: "First of all, the power of the three major sanctuaries is very limited. This should be true."
The Supreme Mage nodded. The number of mages was smaller than that of mutants.
Not that the conditions for becoming a mage are so demanding.
But in modern society, where materialism prevails, there are not many ordinary people who are really willing to stay at Kama Taj for a long time and devote themselves to spiritual practice.
Usually, the goal is achieved, such as curing a terminal illness, getting out of the inner shadow, and then returning to the real world.
In this regard, the Supreme Mage did not stop him.
"We can expand the number of mages, such as setting up a specialized educational institution to provide vitality for the three major sanctuaries."
Luke pitches the idea.
"This will greatly reduce the pressure on Kama Taj and have enough manpower to deal with the hell demons."
The Supreme Mage was silent for a moment, thinking about the possibilities.
"Major General Cavell, there is a price to pay for using magic, and once the forbidden knowledge is spread, it may cause great harm."
After a while, Gu Yi shook his head and said.
The magic of the Marvel Universe requires users to pay a price.
The specific process can be regarded as a loan. Every time you use a high-level spell, it is equivalent to one more bill.
White magic allows payment in installments and the price is not that terrible, so it is accepted by many magicians in Kamal Taj.
And black magic is a kind of loan shark that comes in nine times and gets out thirteen times. It's great when you use it, but it's miserable when you pay it back.
"The price of magic can also be circumvented, right? There's no need to stick to the old rules."
Luke is persuasive and wants to convince the Sorcerer Supreme.
Lord Doom, a magician and magician on the Marvel Studios set, tried using a machine to transfer the cost of casting spells.
Ancient One himself often collects Dormammu's wool and secretly transfers the "bills" that need to be paid to the dark dimension.
"I'll think about it. This is the end of the trivia game."
The Supreme Mage did not refuse directly, nor did he nod in agreement.
When faced with something difficult to decide, she prefers to wait patiently for a while.
"General, I don't know whether it's good news or bad news about your arrival. However, I only welcome you on my own behalf."
The Supreme Mage Shiran stood up and gave a very modern handshake.
"Thank you, I hope I can set foot in Kamal Taj one day."
Luke also stood up. Ancient One was actually the most talkative person among the Supreme Mage in history.
If this were the first-generation Agamotto, he would just take it away.
"By the way, Master Ancient One, I have a question." Luke asked curiously: "How do you judge whether I am lying? Is it some special spell?"
"Because you answered the same question four hundred and twenty-one times."
The Supreme Mage smiled half-heartedly, and the Eyes of Agamodha hanging down from his chest emitted emerald green light.
Did a time loop occur without me noticing
Luke laughed dumbly, which was indeed the way the Supreme Mage did things.
"By the way, General Cavell, I have something to ask of you."
Before leaving, the Supreme Mage showed a mysterious smile and said lightly: "Foreign people to settle permanently, they must pay a little reward and do good things for this world."
"You said that, right?" (End of Chapter)
