Chapter 1090: Agamotto's Manuscript, Ancient One's Private Collection
"Master Ancient One, aren't you worried that Strange will run away?" Aaron asked curiously on the way to the library.
"Don't worry." Gu Yi said calmly, "If his hands hadn't been disabled, he would have escaped without hesitation and asked the police to arrest us mentally ill people."
"But he experienced the greatest darkness and despair in his life when he lost his hands. Even after he got his hands back, his mentality had changed a lot."
"Plus, I sent him on a trip to the multiverse. Even though it was just a quick tour, it has broadened his horizons, cognition, and thinking. Naturally, he has the feeling of looking down on all living things."
"Strange can no longer be an ordinary person. At this moment, he is far more interested in magic than medicine.
Even if I chased him away and threw him out the door, he would still beg me to let him stay."
"Tsk!" Aaron smacked his lips and gave Ancient One a thumbs up, "Master Ancient One, you are worthy of being me!"
"All this is based on his coming to Kamar-Taj." Ancient One pushed open the door of the library with a smile, "I have to thank you, Aaron."
Aaron forced a smile and followed him in.
"King." Gu Yi looked at the chubby wizard who was full of humor and said, "Aaron needs to borrow information related to Horn Gaius. Please take him to get the book!
If he wants to read other books, don’t stop him.”
"Are all the magic books open?" Wang asked in surprise, "Including..."
"Including." Gu Yi nodded seriously.
"Understood. Please follow me."
Gu Yi watched the two disappear around the corner, and she returned the same way, ready to train her new student.
Wang took Aaron to a row of bookshelves against the wall and took down a dusty old book from the end.
It's more of a pamphlet than a book.
"This is the information you want."
"That's all?" Aaron said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "I remember I wanted all the information!"
“Don’t get me wrong, that’s all.
As far as I know, this book does not contain any magical knowledge, but only records some personal deeds of Gaius. "The king said casually, "If you were Master Agamotto, how many words would you use to record the deeds of others?"
Aaron opened his mouth and pretended to think: "If nothing unexpected happens, I won't be able to write a single word."
"So don't complain about its thinness. The reason it can occupy such a place in the restricted section is because a third Gaius will come to this universe in a few years."
Aaron suddenly realized, "This book is for me?"
"Not only for you, but also for the Sorcerer Supreme." The king said earnestly, "Only the Sorcerer Supreme in the entire Kamar-Taj is qualified to read this book."
It sounds very lofty, but unfortunately I don’t believe a word of it.
Aaron secretly complained in his heart that Ancient One was the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, but his evil nature made him avoid him.
Agamotto was the first Sorcerer Supreme, and was definitely more capable than the Ancient One. Otherwise, he would not have been able to protect the Earth in that era when gods and demons rose up.
Because of this, Aaron would not take the contents of this document too seriously.
If he didn't find what he wanted, the so-called personal deeds were not important. Who knew whether Agamotto's records were true or false? Just having a slight impression would be enough.
Aaron walked to a desk and sat down, then opened the first page with trepidation.
......
“Today I accidentally discovered a wizard, Horn Gaius.
He is an incredibly interesting wizard. Time or fate has left no trace on him. He does not belong to the multiverse or even to any universe.
When we first met, he was curious but wary of me and everything around him.”
......
"We confirmed that we were not enemies. He asked me to help find some clues about his last ancestor, Trick Gaius. In return, he was willing to help me eliminate the threat from humans within his ability."
“To be honest, I didn’t take it seriously because Horn Gaius was only a sub-Father, and there is more than one Father on Earth.
And as the center of the universe, the Earth is a cruel testing ground.”
"I told him this, but he was determined and showed no intention of regretting. This made me feel ashamed and amused. A sub-father can protect himself on this planet full of contradictions, but he can only protect himself.
But I have no reason to refuse an ally who knows many unknown magics."
......
"The development of things is beyond my expectation, Horn's growth speed can not be described as amazing.
In less than a hundred years, he was promoted to Heavenly Father and became the most sought-after true God in the universe.
He wiped out all the forces, demons, and alien races on Earth, but he did not kill them all. He just sealed them one by one, as if he wanted to leave some challenges for his descendants. "
......
"A contract that is strong enough to cover the entire planet has power far beyond the cosmic level."
"The omniscient and omnipotent God left heaven, his most beloved son fell into hell, and the gods also left reluctantly, leaving behind only endless legends."
"Just when I thought everything would change for the better, cracks in the multiverse suddenly opened up one after another, and powerful lords of dimensions set their sights on this planet. Even the Trinity God seemed overwhelmed by this infinite power."
......
"Gnar, the god of symbiotes, Sithon, the god of black magic, Setorak, the crimson lord, Shumagorath, the beholder, have all come, and even two of the five great gods of creation have come over.
The destruction of the universe seems to be inevitable. The universe is like a wave that will be swallowed by the sea in the next moment.
But what is incredible is that as soon as these powerful dimensional masters arrived, a magic circle that Trick Gaius had buried in the depths of the universe countless years ago began to absorb their power crazily, turning the entire universe into the most indestructible cage. "
“The enemies, who were so powerful that they were almost invincible, roared in anger, but they were unable to break through the cage of their own power in a short period of time.
Some abandoned their power and fled, some were sealed forever, and some were exiled forever, but some of their power was scattered throughout the universe, becoming their backup for revival and revenge. "
......
Aaron read carefully the glorious deeds of his ancestors, but he was skeptical.
At first glance, these records seem quite passionate, and Gaius can't help but feel a strong sense of honor and mission.
But I always feel that something is wrong, as if the purpose of this book is to arouse his sense of honor, sense of mission and... sense of crisis.
Moreover, as soon as he arrived in this universe, he received admonitions from two ancestors, and they did not seem to want him to get into too much trouble.
The records in this book are not of much value. The only gains are some of the names listed above, such as Trick Gaius, Knull the God of Symbiotes, Sithon the God of Black Magic, and so on.
Thinking of this, Aaron turned the last page with a little disappointment.
But the next moment, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up.
The last page has no specific content, only a yellowed portrait.
The man in the robe in the portrait had a very high appearance, just slightly inferior to him, and looked mysterious, cold, yet gentle and kind.
More importantly, the characters in the portraits could move, laugh, and wave, which reminded him of the portraits in the corridors of Hogwarts, which were the style of his original universe.
Especially there was a line of small words below the portrait: Horn Gaius, which made him more certain of the identity of the man in the portrait.
"I found it. I finally found it. It's worth all my hard work and planning for so long."
Aaron suppressed his excitement and the urge to laugh out loud, fearing that the librarian across from him would notice something. Bang!
Aaron closed the book and put it back where it belonged.
"Have you finished reading it?" Wang asked.
"I've read it and gained a lot!" Aaron said sincerely, "It's amazing that Kamar-Taj has kept this record for so long."
"Written by Master Agamotto himself, its importance cannot be overstated."
"But it's just sitting there gathering dust." Aaron teased, then looked at the other magic books on the bookshelf, "These books look... different."
“These are the personal collection of Master Ancient One. They are different from the magic of Kamar-Taj, and ordinary people cannot comprehend them at all.
Generally, no one would borrow these books, as they are banned books in Kamar-Taj!" Wang explained seriously, "But you are different, you have the permission of the Ancient One, and she believes that you will not cause any trouble because of these books."
Aaron raised his eyebrows and reached for a black book without any hesitation.
This book gave him a sense of familiarity, and perhaps it contained some unexpected gains.
The king hesitated to speak, but in the end, he said nothing.
Aaron opened it in front of him, but he subconsciously swore after reading the first paragraph.
"Gift crab!"
"Don't use bad language, this is a library." Wang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Use civilized language and don't make loud noises."
Aaron looked at the contents of the magic book with a twitching face, and felt very upset.
Devouring spell: Devour the opponent's energy...
Dark Fire: Release a wall of fire attacks...
Dark Thunder: summons lightning attacks, powerful and wide range, refer to Bossat's Thunder...
Dark magic reversal: reverse magic, dispel magic...
Dark Transfer Spell: Transfer magic, transfer one's own energy and will to other people...
Devouring spell, dark shield, dark magic, dark purgatory, dark search spell
......
He originally used Dark Tribe magic to exchange Kamar-Taj's magic with Ancient One. According to the contract, Ancient One could not teach Dark Tribe magic to other people, but she shamelessly recorded these magics.
Although there is no specific way to learn it, the characteristics of each magic are described very clearly. If the mages of Kamar-Taj are attacked by the magic of the Dark Tribe one day, this book can help Kamar-Taj minimize the damage.
What’s even more outrageous is that there is a note on the last page: The master of these magics is the Lord of the Shadow Dimension.
Although everything was within the scope of the contract, Aaron felt a strong sense of malice and targeting.
He also seemed to understand the meaning of Gu Yi's personal collection on this row of bookshelves. Even if not all of them, at least 80% of them were leeks that she had harvested, and they were all worth harvesting again.
“Master Ancient One is worthy of being the Supreme Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj. It is definitely not a coincidence that he can live for hundreds of years.
I underestimated her, and I must reflect on myself when I return."
"Uh...are you too excited?" Wang frowned slightly and asked, "Is there any problem with this Book of Shadows?"
“No problem, no problem at all.
No, there seems to be a problem." Aaron pretended to be confused and asked puzzledly: "This book explains each magic very carefully, but it seems that there is no specific practice method."
"I'm not sure about this either. Maybe Master Ancient One thinks these magics are too sinister." Wang said thoughtfully, "In fact, compared with other banned books, this book is not dangerous at all.
The magic described in it does not involve any rules, and there is no method of cultivation, so it should not be placed in the restricted area."
Aaron:......
Either she still has feelings for me, or the power of the Shadow Dimension is of higher quality than that of most dimensional demons.
Either she had seen through the identity of the Lord of Shadows, who had established the Holy Court of Shadows on Earth, and the hymn to the God of Contract also mentioned "the Lord of Shadows", which made it hard for Ancient One not to associate him with him.
"Alas!" Aaron sighed and put the Book of Shadows back to its original place. "Master Ancient One is very far-sighted. She must have her own considerations for doing this."
At this point he didn't want to think too much and just pretended he knew nothing.
He would not give Ancient One the chance to "borrow" power, and it didn't matter if his identity was discovered by Ancient One, since she wouldn't spread the news anyway.
"So I never ask the Supreme Sorcerer these meaningless questions."
"Since I've seen everything I need to see, I'll leave first. There are still some things I need to discuss with Master Ancient One." Aaron said with a faint smile, and then left the library directly.
On the other side, Strange was sitting upright on a futon listening to Ancient One's lecture, and he had obviously made his choice.
“The language of the esoteric arts has existed since the dawn of civilization.
The ancient wizards called this language a spell, but if this name contradicts your modern understanding, you can understand it as a program, a source code for building the real world. "
"We draw the powerful energy we need from other dimensions of the multiverse to chant spells, summon shields, forge weapons, and cast spells."
Gu Yi explained patiently while waving his hands leisurely.
The golden magical energy moved with his hands, forming complex and profound magic circles from simple lines.
A deep breath hit him in the face, and Strange looked at this scene in shock, his astonished eyes filled with curiosity. This was much more interesting than scientific knowledge.
