Chapter 461 I Will Become the Supreme Mage
Jiang Shan hugged Natasha tightly and said, "Think about it carefully. I let you be the director of SHIELD not to control everything, nor to make you a slave to power or a lackey of interests."
He let go of the woman in his arms, nodded to her, took a step forward, and appeared high in the sky.
A thin, bald woman dressed in a monk-like robe was standing on the clouds with a smile on her face, meeting his eyes.
"Mr. Jiang."
Gu Yi raised one palm and bowed slightly.
Jiang Shan took a step forward, clasped his fists and bowed slightly: "Master Ancient One."
The Master smiled peacefully, and said, "It is better to meet you in person than to hear about you. Mr. Jiang, you are a man worthy of respect."
Jiang Shan laughed: "I don't deserve it. Master Ancient One, everything I do is in accordance with my personal principles, that's all."
The wizard nodded and said, "I heard what you just said to Director Natasha. Please forgive my rudeness. Those words were very good. I like them very much."
Jiang Shan said with a smile: "We are talking openly and honestly, and it doesn't matter who listens. Master, you have sharp ears and sharp eyes. You heard it, which is your ability. How can it be a sin?"
The mage sighed, "As I said before, hearing about someone is not as good as meeting them in person!"
Then he smiled and said, "I have been looking forward to meeting you for a month. From the moment I returned to Earth until now."
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "With your patience, Master, you won't be able to wait for a month, right?"
The wizard smiled and said, "I can wait for anyone else or anything else, but I can't wait for this."
He stretched out his hand and sparks flew in front of him. A space door suddenly appeared and said, "Kama-Taj welcomes you, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shan thanked him and walked in; Gu Yi followed and also walked into the space gate.
Jiang Shan walked through the space gate and stepped onto the ground. He was greeted by a group of mages. When the mages saw Jiang Shan coming to Kamar-Taj, they all put their palms together and saluted: "Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Shan quickly clasped his fists and said, "I am flattered by your kindness."
Gu Yi walked out from Jiang Shan and said with a smile: "You don't know, we have been making up for our lessons during this period; perhaps it is because we have been separated from the world for too long, and we are out of touch with it. It was not until I met Miss Elizabeth last time that I suddenly realized it."
Of course, it wasn't because it had been too long since the last time. It was because Kamar-Taj had just been integrated into the real world. Jiang Shan knew this very well.
Ancient One continued, "For everything you have done, Mr. Jiang, and for the great changes in the world, we mages have a deep understanding."
"Everyone respects you because what you have done is respectable. They welcome you here, not because I ordered them to, but because they are willing to welcome you here from the bottom of their hearts."
Jiang Shanlian said he dared not to, "I am not a saint. Everything I do is still reserved. You all think too highly of me."
Gu Yi smiled and shook his head: "That's not the case."
Say: "Your behavior, to some extent, is similar to ours, which makes everyone feel more identified with you; and you have done something that we cannot do, so everyone respects you."
Jiang Shan could understand - what she said was somewhat similar, that is, not completely involved in everything in the world, with a semi-free attitude, which was more in line with the purpose of Kamar-Taj.
What Kamar-Taj could not do was to raise the level of civilization on Earth. Jiang Shan did this.
Jiang Shan smiled and shook his head: "In essence, it's just a different division of labor. You protect the mysterious side of the earth, but those who are good at fighting don't have great achievements, so no one knows about it. But everything you have done, your nobility, can never be erased."
The mages all smiled with satisfaction.
Yes, almost no one knows what they have done; but their nobility can never be erased.
Those who knew them will never forget them, even if they perish; and the world itself will not forget them.
Gu Yi smiled and said, "Thank you."
Then he said, "Tea here."
Jiang Shan and the monks nodded, and then followed Gu Yi to her meditation room.
Seeing Jiang Shan and Gu Yi enter the house, the mages outside began to whisper to each other in twos and threes.
Someone said: "I thought scientists all had quirks, just like some of our magicians, but I didn't expect that Mr. Jiang was so gentle and kind."
"I'm afraid it's because of this kind of person that the world has changed so dramatically."
Someone said: "His realm is very high."
Many mages nodded.
Said: "He has a temperament similar to that of the Supreme Mage."
"He has repeatedly shattered my perception of what a scientist can be. He must be a very powerful person."
In the Zen room, Gu Yi made and poured tea in one go.
Pushing a cup of hot tea in front of Jiang Shan, he smiled and said, "They are all talking about it."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Jiang Shan said: "I am a little embarrassed."
Gu Yi said: "In fact, if I were among them, I would discuss you with them as well."
Jiang Shan laughed: "We are all human beings, all the same. What is there to discuss? It makes people uncomfortable."
Gu Yi smiled and said: "Your realm, as they said, is really high."
Then he said: "You seem to know Kamar-Taj very well, and you also have a certain understanding of me; but I, because of you, have many doubts."
Jiang Shan nodded: "I am looking for Kamar-Taj for a purpose. I should also answer your questions. Of course, please don't force me to answer what I don't know."
Gu Yi said: "That's the truth."
Jiang Shan said, "The Master asked me that I seem to know a lot about Kamar-Taj - or should I say I know a lot about it."
"As for why, we can leave it to the end."
"I will first state what I want."
Gu Yi gestured with his hand slightly.
Jiang Shan said: "What I want is two points, or it can be reduced to one point."
"The Master has led Kamar-Taj for hundreds of years. I have seen how tired the Master is. Your body is already riddled with holes. I'm sure your soul is also exhausted. Do you want to retire?"
Gu Yi's eyes lit up: "You really know me very well."
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Even if I don't know you, when I saw you, I was 30% sure."
He said bluntly: "If the Master decides to retire, then I, Jiang Shan, will be the next Supreme Master!"
After hearing this, Gu Yi's eyes brightened even more.
She exclaimed: "If you are the next Supreme Sorcerer, I think this is absolutely the best result."
Then he changed the subject: "But, Jiang Shan, in the long river of time, everything about you, anything that is directly or closely related to you, is a shadow in my eyes; I can't see your past, nor your future, or even anything directly related to you."
"From your power, realm, and what you have done, you are the most suitable person to take over the position of Supreme Sorcerer. But from the shadow of the long river of time, I cannot be sure whether your future as Supreme Sorcerer will be good or bad."
