[Chapter 116: Supreme Mage]

“Want to see me? Who?” When David heard that someone in Steve’s world wanted to see him, his first reaction was Nick Fury, who was nicknamed “Black Egg”.

Ever since Captain America Steve mastered the Holy Light and the power of the elements, he guessed that the head of the secret service would definitely find out where Steve learned these abilities and come to him through Steve.

But what he didn’t expect was that Steve gave an answer that he had thought about before but habitually ignored.

“The Ancient One from Kamar-Taj.”

“This…”

“The Ancient One is the leader of Kamar-Taj and the contemporary Supreme Sorcerer. The Supreme Sorcerer’s duty is to protect the earth from being invaded by demons from other dimensions.” Steve briefly introduced the situation of the Ancient One to David: “At least that’s what she told me.”

In fact, even if Steve didn’t introduce it, David knew who the Ancient One was. He was surprised why the contemporary Supreme Sorcerer wanted to see him? He didn’t have any direct relationship with that person, right? Even the successors of the Supreme Sorcerer, he didn’t know them.

Seeing David sitting there without answering, Steve thought that David didn’t want to see the Ancient One, so he said that he could help reject the Supreme Sorcerer’s request.

“No, I’m just curious why this Supreme Sorcerer wants to see me?”

“Maybe, she thinks you are a demon from another dimension who wants to invade Steve’s Earth.” Laura dragged her chin with her palm, looking at David who was sitting next to her, not understanding what he was worried about: “Didn’t Steve say that? The Supreme Sorcerer’s duty is to defend against the invasion of demons from other dimensions.”

“So, do you think she wants to confirm David’s thoughts?” Steve thought about it: “It shouldn’t be?”

“It’s not impossible.”

David thought about it carefully, and by the way recalled some settings about magic and demons in the Marvel world. He found that the way he helped Steve obtain mysterious power seemed to the mages of Kamar-Taj… probably… It was no different from what those demons from other dimensions did.

The magic and magic power in the Marvel world have ownership.

These all belong to powerful beings in other dimensions, such as Vishanti, Sithon, Dormammu, etc.

If the wizards want to become stronger, they have to “sign” with a powerful person, so as to obtain the magic power mastered by the powerful person and cast the spells that the powerful person has labeled and copyrighted.

Now, Steve Rogers has obtained a mysterious power, which comes from another world. Is it that a powerful person or a demon wants to get involved in their world? So Steve Rogers was chosen as the spokesperson?

“So, do you think Master Ancient One wants to warn you? Or simply wants to defeat you?”

“It shouldn’t be that serious.” David was also very puzzled. What does Ancient One mean by this?

There are many beings who covet the earth. As long as they don’t launch actual attacks like Dormammu, Ancient One will not pay much attention to them.

In other words, even if Master Ancient One really suspects that David wants to invade the earth, before the real attack, Master Ancient One will only remain vigilant, instead of playing the door-to-door warning like now-what’s the use? It’s more like taking the initiative to run to someone’s territory to find trouble.

“If she wants to talk to me, bring her here!” David finished his breakfast and thought of a place to receive the Ancient One: “I’ll wait for her on the bank of the Winter River.”

“Is it okay?” Steve was worried that the Ancient One was really here to cause trouble: “Otherwise, I’ll go and refuse her.”

“No, I’ve thought about it carefully. She shouldn’t have any ill will towards me. Maybe she’s just here to visit?” David felt that the possibility that the Ancient One would come to cause trouble for her was really low.

As for visiting, these Supreme Masters all like to observe the timeline, and to some extent, they also jump around in various parallel worlds, and they will also go to some different planes, so when the Ancient One learns that there is a different world that he has never been to, he is more likely to want to go and take a look.

At the same time, as a powerful spellcaster, the Ancient One may also want to study the power that Steve possesses. Which powerful being does it belong to?

Standing up, he asked Steve to go back to find the Ancient One. From the previous conversation, he was sure that Steve could contact the Supreme Master directly without making a special appointment.

He left the cafeteria and walked towards the Winter River again.

Elias and Floyd followed him as usual, but they didn’t know what the Baron was going to do by the river again. Was he going to help the blue turtle catch food again? Speaking of which, the turtle named Squirtle has been missing since a while ago, and no one knows where it ran off to.

David didn’t wait too long by the river,

as Steve soon came with Ancient One. It was only at this time that Steve noticed the man who was about to stop him. He remembered these two people, who were sitting at the next table in the cafeteria just now.

Finally, after getting a signal from David, Floyd let the two go to David’s side.

“Those two are…”

“My personal guard knight Floyd and etiquette officer Elias.”

Steve felt very strange, but still stretched out his hand and congratulated David: “I forgot to congratulate you just now, it seems that things are going well.”

“It went very smoothly indeed.”

After chatting for a while, Steve then introduced the woman in a yellow robe beside him to David: “This is the Ancient One from Kamar-Taj.”

“This is the… now you should call him the mayor, David.”

“Hello, nice to meet you.”

“I’m glad to meet you too, Master.”

After the two greeted each other, the Ancient One and Steve made a request: “I want to talk to David alone. Don’t worry, I don’t have any bad intentions.”

Steve just smiled awkwardly in return. He seemed to be standing casually by the side, but in fact, he was in a tense state, and the holy light in his body could be released at any time, obviously guarding against the Ancient One.

When the Ancient One proposed to talk alone, Steve glanced at David, and after seeing David nodded at him, he said that he wanted to get to know the newcomers: “I’ll go say hello to the two newcomers.”

When Steve walked to Floyd and Elias, David and the Ancient One began a real conversation.

“Master Ancient One specifically asked Steve to bring you here. I wonder why?” David didn’t like to beat around the bush, so he got straight to the point in his first sentence to confirm the real intention of the Ancient One. The

Ancient One had no problem with David’s straightforwardness, and immediately stated his purpose: “As a wizard, it is normal to be curious about the unknown world and unknown power. Don’t worry, I have no ill will towards you and Steve. As for the reason why I came to visit you this time, it is mainly because I have some expectations for Steve.”

“Expectations?” David was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly thought of a possibility: “What do you want Steve to do?”

“I have lived for a long time, and I have been the Supreme Sorcerer for a long time. I can’t hold on any longer…” The Ancient One just said halfway, and after noticing David’s expression, he suddenly realized something: “Sorry, I’m used to it.”

“It doesn’t matter.” David realized that he had “lost his composure” again: “So, you are going to let Steve take over as the new Supreme Sorcerer?”

“Yes!”

“Will this… not be a problem?”

“No.” The Ancient One looked very sure. People like her, once they make a decision, will not waver easily: “Steve is very suitable, and can even be said to be the most suitable one among several successors.”

“Why?” David was very curious, how did the Ancient One make such a judgment? Could it be that Steve really has the talent to become the Supreme Sorcerer? Is there a world line in which Steve becomes the Supreme Sorcerer in the countless parallel universes of Marvel?

Because there are too many parallel universes of Marvel, David thought about it and couldn’t think of the answer.

“Because the power called Holy Light that Steve possesses.” After a few words of conversation, the Ancient One realized that it was best to be simple and direct when chatting with David, so she simply stated the reason why she chose Steve: “That is a kind of power that can be mastered and used at will without paying an extra ‘price’.”

“Just because of this?”

“Just because of this!” The Ancient One has lived for so long that her understanding of various spells has reached a high level. After only a short contact with Steve, she realized that the Holy Light that Steve possessed was fundamentally different from the magic currently mastered by Kamar-Taj.

First of all, the energy of Holy Light is one of the foundations of the existence of the universe, and it is of a very high level. Secondly, this power exists in almost any plane, even in Dormammu’s dark dimension, “light” is not completely absent.

Most importantly, this power does not belong to a certain powerful person, does not carry any mark, and does not require additional payment to cast Holy Light spells.

These points alone are enough to make the Ancient One determined to make Steve the successor of the Supreme Sorcerer, not even one of them!

As long as Steve becomes the Supreme Sorcerer, the mages of Kamar-Taj can learn Holy Light. It is no longer like now, where only a very small number of mages can find a certain dimensional master and sign a contract with those powerful beings to obtain strong enough magic to cast those powerful magics. The

biggest concern of the Ancient One is whether the power used by Steve is a bait released by a powerful person? After all, during the battle in New York, she noticed a powerful being who transferred power to Steve from another plane.

So she took the initiative to contact Steve, and used some tricks to trick out the magical place of Winter Town, and then asked Steve to take her here to see and meet the mayor (who was still the village chief at the time).

After seeing him in person, Gu Yi found that he could not see through this young David.
