After leaving the Sky Garden, Shen He was still a little confused.
Semiramis lingered in his mind.
Such a beauty is simply challenging the moral bottom line of men.
However...
Shen He still has self-knowledge. If he was really lustful just now, the consequence would be 100% that he would be kicked away.
Semiramis has always disdained those men who are obsessed with her beauty. The last obsessed man was simply poisoned to death.
On the contrary, the more he is calm, the more she wants to tease him.
Shen He also knows very well that Semiramis's simple wish to help him is just like Jeanne's initial tenderness. It is just her unique way of getting close to her favorite master as a servant.
If you really think that the empress falls in love with you based on this, then you are too stupid and naive.
Heroic spirits are such existences beyond common sense.
Shen He sighed, then gathered his thoughts and transferred the picture of Semiramis in his mind to other places.
For example, let Jeanne wear stockings tonight.
......
Since Shen He's true wish was confirmed, Semiramis also slightly changed his style.
There were not many changes, but he no longer pursued absolute status.
But the basic control was still in his hands.
This made many people flattered. When they came to seek cooperation, they were greeted with an extremely domineering attitude, but now there was a faint hint of cooperation.
From the internal gossip leaked from the virtual reality company, this was the result of Shen He's talk with the empress.
It seems that Shen He still has a very high authority in Chaldea.
Stark Industries was the first company to sign a cooperation intention.
Sky Garden completely handed over the city's energy construction to Stark Industries, but required Tony to provide a copy of Jarvis's original source code, that is, a new artificial intelligence that has not yet been activated and grown, and after Hubie calculated and confirmed that there was no hidden backdoor, he replaced Jarvis as the new management core of the virtual reality company.
Tony was still very satisfied with such cooperation.
Originally, Stark Industries' main strategic direction in the future was clean energy, and the cooperation intention signed with Sky Garden made them famous.
Moreover, controlling the energy can also guarantee his right to speak in the new system of Sky Garden.
That day, he came to Shen He's office again.
"Tony, you may be smarter than me, but not everyone can be a master." Shen He boasted proudly, "Don't say Semiramis, if it were you, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to get close to a girl as cute as Violet. No, it should be said that you can't get any girl who can't be dealt with by money."
"If you have the ability, come and compete next time?" Tony's face was a little dark.
As a playboy, he was despised by Shen He in this regard, and he dared to say that he was not good enough.
"In short, if you want to develop your company well, you will have to deal with the empress in the future." Shen He chuckled twice, "Just don't come to me again when the time comes."
"I always leave the company's affairs to Pepper." Tony's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
Since Shen He could suppress Semiramis, he had nothing to worry about.
Shen He just made a few jokes and then started to talk about business.
"I guess what I told you last time, since you want to meet, go as soon as possible." Shen He was talking about meeting Ancient One.
"You make the decision in this regard." Tony shook his head, "But I don't believe that in this modern society, there are really people who can completely ignore the power of capital, unless they are really a group of immortals who don't care about the world."
"Let's talk about it after we meet." Shen He didn't have the confidence of Tony. He thought for a while, "First determine the purpose and let them send a wizard to guide you. This is the best result. In the worst case, it may cause a conflict, but don't worry too much."
Although Ancient One is strong, that is only a legend.
Shen He did not have a clear impression of her strength, so there is no need to belittle herself.
Strength is always the biggest factor in negotiations.
"Anyway, I'll listen to you this time." Tony said very simply, "When do we leave?"
"Let's go tomorrow." Shen He exhaled, "Thor with you."
"I don't quite understand why you have to take that big guy with you?" Tony didn't quite understand, "Is his identity as the Prince of Asgard useful in front of the wizards on Earth?"
"No." Shen He shook his head, "Both the Supreme Sorcerer and Asgard represented by Thor are very arrogant. If they don't really see each other's power, they won't take each other seriously. But if we take Thor with us, there will be a possibility of buffering in case of a conflict. To be honest, I don't want to stand on the opposite side of the Supreme Sorcerer."
The Supreme Sorcerer involves multidimensional planes, which is one of the blank areas in Shen He's understanding of the Marvel world.
Even the Marvel plots of the original world are mostly vague in this regard.
Not to mention that it also involves ancient gods and dark creatures.
"The possibility of buffering..." Tony understood what Shen He meant.
When there is a third party present, both parties in the conversation will often be more restrained.
He would consider this point, and he also understood more deeply Shen He's importance to these mages.
The next day, Thor came to the virtual reality company as promised.
Of course, he brought his girlfriend with him.
"It seems that you really like Earth." Shen He looked at them with a smile, "I heard that you also went to China?"
"Of course, there are some spectacular scenery there." Thor's face was filled with a silly smile, "Jane likes it there very much. We also bought a villa by the West Lake. Father God, if I am not in a hurry to go back to repair the Rainbow Bridge, I really hope to live here for hundreds of years." Jane, who was standing
next to him, heard this, and the smile on her face suddenly dimmed a little.
Her boyfriend is a "god" who has lived for 1,500 years. The more they get along, the more they can feel the unbridgeable gap between them.
"There will be many opportunities in the future, let's go first."
Shen He just took a simple look at the girl and knew that they would not last long.
There are very few girls in this world who can say that their feelings are deep and lasting until death.
That's why he likes Jeanne.
However, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to pour cold water on this couple who are in love. In this case, they won't listen to anything.
"No problem." Thor hugged his girlfriend, "Let's go now. I never knew there were wizards on Earth."
"Wait." Shen He looked at the two of them, "You... want to take Jane with you?"
"Huh?" Thor looked at Shen He, then at Tony, "You didn't say no before... I mean, didn't you say that Kamar-Taj is in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal? Jane has always wanted to visit the Himalayas."
"..."
Shen He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
He could see that Thor didn't take it seriously at all. He thought this trip was just for fun.
This is also normal. No matter how they change, people who are used to being arrogant will not be tense all the time, not to mention that he has just won the war and is still enjoying a beautiful relationship.
Several people set off directly in the fighter plane of the virtual reality company.
The place where the Ancient One is located is called Kamar-Taj.
After Shen He watched the movie "Doctor Strange" before, he specially checked the treatment. Originally in the comics, this place was a small village in the Himalayas and the place where the Ancient One was born. After she became the Supreme Sorcerer, she turned this village into a secret place. In this movie, Kamar-Taj is the residence of the Ancient One and the place where monks and wizards practice.
Everyone came to Kathmandu first.
This city has a full Indian style, religious colors can be seen everywhere, and most of them are low bungalows.
It has to be said that living in a modern metropolis for a long time and occasionally coming to such a city, it feels comfortable. The three-story building at most can free people from the airtight high-rise buildings.
Thor and Jane really regarded this trip as a trip.
They looked around on the street, wandered in small shops, and tasted delicious food like all tourists, bought various small handmade artworks, and spread dog food.
Shen He didn't care, because he also had Jeanne, and they were in the same situation and had a lot of fun.
It was just Tony who stood alone next to the two couples, like a fool.
"He, it's almost noon." Tony couldn't help but burst out at last, "I'm very busy. I haven't had a good rest for several days in order to take this day off."
"Don't worry." Shen He raised his neck, "Look, someone has come up."
In the direction he pointed, a person wearing a black tight robe and a hood that completely covered his cheeks walked straight towards them.
This costume is somewhat similar to the uniform of Chaldea, but it's not as exquisite.
"Mr. Shen." Under the hood was a black face, "The Supreme Sorcerer asked me to entertain you, my name is Mordo."
"Hello, Mage Mordo." Shen He nodded slightly.
He knew that since he had been there, Ancient One would definitely notice, so he had been waiting for the other party's response.
Should he ignore her, contact her, or welcome her?
A lot can be seen from this simple behavior, after all, Chaldea is now famous.
"This place is quite interesting." Thor also led Jane over here, "Are there any other fun places?"
"Of course, respected son of Odin." Mordo bowed slightly to Thor, "I am happy to be a guide for you. Although Kathmandu's economy is not very developed, it has a long cultural heritage and many interesting things."
"Then..." Thor was obviously very satisfied with the other party's respectful attitude.
"Thor." Tony interrupted him directly with some dissatisfaction, "We are not here to play, maybe you can go with your girlfriend?"
He had enough of eating dog food, and he seemed to have no reputation here, and not many people paid attention to him.
Basically, they were all staring at Jeanne.
"Okay, Tony is right." Shen He looked at Mordo in front of him and said directly, "We want to meet the Supreme Sorcerer."
"Please follow me." Mordo was obviously prepared and turned to lead the way.
Shen He could see that although he said respect, it was just basic etiquette. Facing the famous Lord of Chaldea, the other party had no restraint or curiosity.
Ignorance or overconfidence?
Shen He had no expression on his face, just holding Jeanne's hand and following behind him.
Everyone came to an inconspicuous wooden door. Shen He, who had already known this place from the movie, was not too surprised. He was the first to push the door open and walk in.
The decoration inside was magnificent in this city, with a hint of ancient Chinese style, and even lingering Zen incense.
Ancient One, wearing a bright yellow wizard robe, was standing in the hall.
Cheng Liang's bald head made it difficult to tell her age, her eyes were deep, and the sleeves rolled up to her elbows made her look quite energetic. She looked at them with a smile as if she was welcoming a friend.
To be honest, such a meeting was beyond Shen He's expectations.
Because it was too ordinary.
This made him not know what to say for a moment. Should he go up and shake hands like an ordinary person? Or introduce himself coldly? Or a respectful greeting?
Fortunately, Gu Yi spoke first.
He did not speak to Shen He, but to Jeanne, exclaiming from the bottom of his heart.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it. You have broken free from the shackles of the flesh, your will is eternal, and your body is the Holy Spirit, which is extremely sacred."
"This is the blessing of the Lord." Jeanne smiled in response.
But she sensed a very uncomfortable breath from the other person, as if mixed with evil will.
This reminded Shen He in her mind.
"Master Gu Yi." Shen He called the other person by his name directly, "I believe you already know the purpose of our trip."
"Yes." Gu Yi then turned his eyes to Shen He, "Why not sit down and have a cup of tea? I think we have plenty of time to talk slowly."
"......Okay." Shen He looked around.
This is just a hall, there is no tea table, no seats.
But Gu Yi just stretched out his hands and pushed gently.
The existence like cracks covered the air in an instant, and the space began to distort. The walls, ceiling, and ground rolled like a kaleidoscope. However, in an instant, the originally narrow hall expanded more than ten times, and the tea table and even hot tea suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Is this... space magic?" Thor took two steps, looking surprised and forcing himself to stay calm, "Space magic is one of the most difficult magics to learn. When I was a child, I only understood the concept and gave up completely."
Before he came, he thought that there were only some magicians who knew a little illusion here.
So now it's a little embarrassing, especially since his girlfriend is still shouting.
"Please come in."
Gu Yi extended his hand to signal, his expression calm, and with Jian's exclamation, he seemed unfathomable.
Shen He's eyebrows twitched slightly.
He suddenly felt funny, as if this supreme wizard had a unique attainment in pretending to be cool.
It felt like he was about to meet his match.
