On the sofa in the clinic, Nick Fury sat with his golden sword, occupying the entire sofa. Coulson, dressed in a black suit, and Natasha, dressed in a tight black combat suit, stood behind him with their hands behind their backs, looking serious. With Nick Fury's one eye and windbreaker, he looked like a gangster.

Steve consciously did not join the three people who were trying to look good. He skillfully opened the refrigerator and poured a cup of coffee for each of the three people. Steve did not count on Dottie, nor did he dare to let her do it. God knows whether she would deliberately leave out Natasha. In order to avoid a quarrel between the two women, he took the initiative to take on the task of pouring tea and passing water.

Nick Fury picked up the coffee, took a sip and put it down. He was more concerned about who the bald woman was than the strange fact that aliens liked instant coffee. He wanted to see where the bald woman came from. She was brighter than him... Bah, her background was more powerful than SHIELD! Three hours passed like this, until the door of the office was opened. Nick Fury opened his one eye and stood up.

Duke and a woman in her forties came out, and they were talking happily, as if they were good friends who had met after a long separation. The woman had an ordinary appearance and was not very charming, but she had a kind of extraordinary temperament that stood out from the crowd, like a monk living in seclusion in the city, indifferent and mysterious.

Especially the shiny bald head, which made Nick Fury feel more stressed. Black absorbs light, white reflects light, if he hadn't applied hair growth lotion before going out and got a lot of oil on his head, he would have been outshined.

"Master Ancient One, your erudition makes me feel ashamed, especially in the field of magic. Thank you for your teachings today." Duke said politely.

"Master Duke, you are too modest. I am the one who has benefited the most. I have no choice but to visit you suddenly today. If you are willing to honor me with a visit to Kamar-Taj, I will certainly welcome you." The colorful sedan was carried by everyone. Duke was so polite, and Ancient One did not put on airs. She was not the kind of person who was arrogant because of her talent.

Of course, the mainstream of today's world - science, is also a manifestation of truth. It has the same goal as magic, and ultimately points directly to the origin of the universe. However, the current technological level of the earth has not been able to touch that mystery, so the possibility of using satellites to locate magic is zero.

"Please take a seat, Director Fury. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Duke sat behind the desk, and the two of them were like a doctor and a patient.

Of course not! Duke is not a pushover, and Ancient One is not good at talking either. The two fought fiercely in the mirror dimension. Duke had the upper hand in terms of hard power, but Ancient One used the Time Stone in a very unrefined way, treating Duke as a BOSS, and ran through the whole process, resurrecting him at a high speed.

Which eye did you see... uh, you seem to have only one eye. How did your one eye see that we have a good relationship? Duke looked strange. He and Ancient One had been alone in the office for three hours. Did they just chat, sit on a futon and discuss things, meet friends over coffee, and brag?

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Duke. I'm Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D." Nick Fury walked towards Duke and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

Duke was disgusted...

After Nick Fury sat down, he couldn't help but wonder, frowned and asked: "Mr. Duke, I remember you called the Ancient One just now, and you seem to have a good relationship. Can you tell me her identity?"

Seeing Nick Fury silent, Coulson changed the subject very tactfully: "Mr. Duke, we are here today to consult about Thor. As far as we know, you are very familiar with Asgard, the divine realm where Thor is. We want to know what this alien force is like and what is their attitude towards the Earth?"

Ancient One's use of the Time Stone was extremely crude, and it could be said that he was wasting a natural resource. However, ability lies in quality, not quantity. Ancient One knew that he could not control the full power of the Time Stone, and he spent most of his life practicing only the time loop skill to the maximum level, with quite good results.

Duke shook his head and said, "No need for favors. If SHIELD wants to know about the Ancient One, I can tell you everything I know."

Steve turned his head away in embarrassment. Carter took Duke's benefits and turned around to sell him out. It was indeed a bit unkind. But it was all for the protection of the earth, so Steve couldn't blame her.

Duke didn't mention this matter. It was difficult to talk about it, and it would only make it more awkward.

"The Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, a magician who has lived for five hundred years, maybe even longer..." Duke began to speak, but was interrupted by Nick Fury.

"Why don't you want to believe it?" Duke said with a smile, "Before the appearance of Thor, the God of Thunder, if someone told you that the gods in Norse mythology were real, would you believe it? Now that the illusory myth has been confirmed, why don't you believe that there are a group of magicians on Earth?"

In fact, today was not the first time the two met. They had met each other as early as when Duke went to SHIELD to inquire about Ms. Carter's information, but they didn't say hello at that time.

"Mr. Duke, please wait a moment." Nick Fury couldn't accept Duke's words and asked suspiciously, "You said she lived for 500 years and was a magician?"

After Ancient One finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Nick Fury standing up. He was slightly stunned, smiled and nodded at him, then said goodbye to Duke and left alone.

Nick Fury was torn when he learned that there was such a force on Earth. On the one hand, he was happy that SHIELD had like-minded teammates on the road to protecting world peace, but on the other hand, he was worried that the Mage Hermitage had other ambitions. The King of Agents was suspicious of everyone except himself. This was not because he was suspicious by nature, but because protecting the Earth did not allow for any luck, and he had to prepare for the worst.

Nick Fury: "That sounds incredible."

After sending off a bald man, another one came. Is this hairstyle popular recently? "Hello, Director Fury!" Duke shook his hand and led him into the office.

The arrogant Nick Fury finds it hard to accept the cruel reality. What happened to SHIELD, which was supposed to be the world's number one? It seems that for so many years, they have been fighting small battles and picking up the hard work left by others.

Steve and Coulson followed closely behind, and before the door was closed, Natasha turned back and followed in. Nick Fury looked at Natasha with dissatisfaction, knowing that she had lost her target. Natasha looked confused and whispered to Nick Fury about what had just happened.

Duke looked at Steve: "Did Ms. Carter tell you that?"

Duke saw Natasha trying to follow Ancient One, but he didn't point it out, because he knew Natasha was doomed to return empty-handed. Ancient One pushed open the door of the clinic and walked out. It seemed ordinary, but in fact, what Ancient One pushed open was not a door, but another dimension. People in the ordinary dimensional world could not find her trace.

"Yes, the Ancient One is the most powerful wizard on Earth. She founded the Priory of Mages, and has countless disciples. The Priory is also the most powerful magical force on Earth." Duke saw Nick Fury's increasingly gloomy face, and said, "But don't worry, the Ancient One and your SHIELD have the same purpose, which is to protect the Earth. It's just that your SHIELD maintains peace inside the Earth, while the Priory of Mages does not easily interfere with ordinary people. They resist the evil in the universe."

In fact, Nick Fury already believed it, but he just couldn't get over it. The Sorcerer Supreme, the Priory of Mages, and fighting against the evil in the universe, these terms sound so high-end and classy. And what about S.H.I.E.L.D.? They also shoulder the great responsibility of world peace, but they can only fight against terrorists. Nick Fury feels that they are too weak.

Not to mention Natasha, even if S.H.I.E.L.D. went all out and searched every corner of the world, they would not be able to find any clues. The power of magic does not lie in strength and skills, but in knowledge and truth. Before she mastered the corresponding truth, the Ancient One was isolated from the world. If she did not show up on her own initiative, no one could find her.

Nick Fury signaled to Natasha, who remained calm and followed him out.

Nick Fury understood in his heart that, just as he thought, the relationship between the two was not harmonious.

Nick Fury noticed Duke's hesitation and immediately had a clue in his mind. He realized that Duke and the Ancient One were not as harmonious as they seemed. This gave him a boost of confidence, and he asked, "Mr. Duke, that Ancient One got rid of the top SHIELD agent in three seconds, and even my agent didn't know how she disappeared. This person is very dangerous. If you can provide her with information, SHIELD will definitely remember this favor."

Now he finally understood why Duke left him aside and made him wait for three hours. It turned out that the bald girl had such a terrifying background. To fight against the evil in the universe, Nick Fury could imagine how terrible the power of the Mage Hermitage was.

Ancient One hid in the dark and didn't want to be exposed to ordinary people, but Duke insisted on telling her information. He was petty and never held grudges. He would take revenge on the spot.

Duke did not pursue the matter. He revealed the information just to lure S.H.I.E.L.D. into taking the bait. Sure enough, Ms. Carter did not disappoint him.

"Asgard poses no threat to Earth, at least for now. Before Earth's strength can no longer threaten Asgard, you don't need to worry about them. Director Fury should be well aware of this, as politicians always play tricks like this." Duke dispelled the doubts of several people and said meaningfully, "Since you mentioned Asgard, Ms. Carter must have mentioned the Space Gem. Instead of worrying about Asgard, you might as well worry about this gem. It's a hot potato, and Earth is not qualified to hold such a treasure. I advise you to throw it out of Earth as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to regret it if you suffer a catastrophe."
