Chapter 42 The Ancient One's Frustrated "Metamorphosis"



Meanwhile, Gel was completely unaware of the controversy surrounding them. He simply left a note for Wanda and Pietro before traveling through a portal to Kamar-Taj.

If you are entrusted with a task, you should be loyal to it.

Having taken all the benefits for himself, he should also help the Ancient One solve some of her problems.

Gel arrived at his room in Kamar-Taj. Due to the time difference, it was afternoon in Kamar-Taj, and the sunlight outside was still dazzling.

As usual, the sky was still a clear blue, with only a few wispy white clouds. The bright sunlight poured down on the vast ground, making the stones on the ground look like colorful gems in a river.

Gel guessed that the Ancient One should be teaching everyone magic in the training grounds at this moment, so he walked towards the training grounds.

"A mage's body is our weakness, so practicing defensive magic is the most important part of our daily training..." The Ancient One said in a slightly serious, instructive tone, tapping a fan in her hand.

Seeing Gel approach, the Ancient One stopped herself from saying anything more and said to Mordo beside her, "You will be the one to teach from now on."

After saying that, the Ancient One walked to the side and quietly waited for Gol to come over.

“Sorcerer Supreme.” Gel bowed, then looked at the Ancient One and explained his purpose, “Ancient One, I have come here to fulfill my promise and help Kaecilius reform.”

As he spoke, Ger looked at the group of people not far away, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How about we go to a quieter place and I'll explain my plan to you in detail?"

The Ancient One shook her head, stretched out her right hand and waved it to the side, instantly enveloping the two of them in a pale yellow magical shield: "This is a soundproof magical shield, so we can just talk here."

Gel glanced curiously at the soundproof magic shield beside him and quietly added it to his must-learn list. Then he told the Ancient One his plan in detail: "In my hometown, there is a custom that if a child is disobedient, he is sent to a kind-hearted old man in the countryside to help raise him. After being influenced by the old man for a long time and under difficult conditions, the child will become kind and no longer so unreasonable."

Geer's plan was to draw inspiration from variety shows he had seen in his previous life and give Casillas a "transformation of an old boy".

The Ancient One frowned slightly, a flicker of emotion appearing in her usually calm eyes: "But given Kaecilius's temperament, he won't obediently follow our arrangements, and what if he harms the old man..."

“Therefore, we need to seal Kaecilius’s magic first, and then send him over.” Gel carefully chose his words, expressing his intention in a way that the Ancient One could accept.

Gel knew all too well the Ancient One's "compassion," and his only worry was that the Ancient One might be soft-hearted.

The Ancient One pondered for a moment, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but continued to ask, "Do you have any ideas about where to send it?"

Before arriving, Gel already had a clear plan, so he nodded to the Ancient One: "I know a very kind elderly couple whose son has passed away. They are heartbroken and almost lose their will to live. They can send Kaecilius there. Of course, we need to seal his magic and use magic to change his appearance, making him look like the old couple's son, so he can live with them for a few years. To prevent Kaecilius from changing his nature and harming the old couple, you need to assign two trusted mages to secretly supervise him and prevent him from leaving."

The two elderly people's son had died in an accident. Peter had only saved the others, not their son. Afterwards, Peter frequently visited the two elderly people to comfort them, and Ger also visited a few times. However, the two elderly people were too heartbroken, and their health deteriorated.

This is a psychological problem, and neither Peter nor Gert has a good solution.

If Casillas's magic is sealed, in his current state, he can only rely on the old man. What remains is a process of mutual adjustment and interdependence between the two old men and Casillas.

Gradually, the Ancient One frowned: "Is this really feasible?"

“As far as I know, many people in the mortal world educate misguided children in this way, and it’s quite effective. Although Kaecilius isn’t a child, I think this method is very useful for him. So, it depends on whether you, Sorcerer Supreme, are willing to be ruthless and let me try it.” Gel looked at the Ancient One’s expression, nodded again, and continued, “Moreover, there are several other mages who share the same thoughts as Kaecilius. So I will make an example of them later to let them know the consequences of crossing the line.”

The Ancient One closed her eyes, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment, she opened them and nodded. "Then I'll have someone bring Kaecilius over. Since I've entrusted this matter to you, I won't interfere anymore. Just do it."

"By the way, what's the deal with that Mordo?" Suddenly, Ger thought of Mordo, whom he had met before, and it seemed that the man's speech was not quite normal.

Unfortunately, Gert has never been able to remember the numerous names of people in the West, so when he watched the related movies in his previous life, apart from the main characters Doctor Strange and the Ancient One, he couldn't remember who was who at all, and he couldn't even remember which character Mordo was.

“Mordo has always said that he has defeated his inner demons, but inner demons can never be defeated; they will only exist in our hearts in other forms.” The Ancient One turned her head toward Mordo and looked at him calmly.
