"Owner..."
The fallen Mage who ambushes Loki, At the moment is like a snail that has been shrinking its shell.
The whole person crawled on the ground and curled up into a ball, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Although he managed to escape from Kamar-Taj after the failed attack, being caught by Kamar-Taj might not be a bad thing compared to facing Dormammu's interrogation...
[So——the task assigned to you failed? ! With the power I gave you, you can't even do anything to a little Asgard? ] Dormammu asked calmly.
That is to say, over the years, the invasion of Midgard has failed too many times, and now it can be so calm.
If Dormammu had been throwing a tantrum every time he failed, he would have been blasted.
Even so, from his calm tone, one can still feel the murderous intent hidden in it.
For Dormammu, Loki is nothing more than a character whose strength even Level God Father can't reach.
If one's followers can't even deal with this kind of fun, no matter how clever his brain is, he has no value in Dormammu's eyes.
And there is no value of existence, what awaits him is definitely only destruction.
The Mage also seemed to hear the killing intent in Dormammu's tone, and quickly raised his head to explain:
"Master, I really can't blame me for the miss this time! Originally, everything went smoothly according to my plan, but who would have thought that Loki would be so powerful."
"Just in the blink of an eye, the freezing air released from his body froze the hundreds of shadow projections I created into ice cubes."
"If I hadn't been cautious enough to keep a safe distance from him from the beginning, I'm afraid even I would end up in the same end."
"I also ran away in order to bring this news back to the master, so you know. Otherwise, even if I risk my life, I will definitely continue to complete the task."
[snort! You don't need to make any excuses for your incompetence. However, it was beyond my expectation that the Asgardian had the ability to freeze. ]
[I heard before that Odin's eldest son was born with the power of Awakening Thunder. Unexpectedly, his second son also possessed such a special ability, plus his crazy daughter... Odin is lucky. ]
[Since you failed for the first time, I will let you go temporarily. However, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped. As punishment, I will take away 10 years of your life. ]
Dormammu's words are full of false benevolence. For these depraved Mages who pursue eternal life, apart from death, there is no punishment more cruel than life extraction!
As for the so-called death penalty... Dormammu is not a kind-hearted lord.
The reason why he didn't kill the other party was simply because the other party was still useful.
While that Mage is no match for Loki, he can be used as an excellent bait to lure Loki into new traps.
Even if it's trash, Dormammu has to squeeze every last bit of value out of it before destroying it.
...
Kamar-Taj, the supreme Mage Sanctuary.
In the daily morning class, Loki told Daresi what happened yesterday.
Da Yeshi felt sorry for Loki's attack in Kamar-Taj, but more of it was the helplessness of being the Supreme Mage.
White magic has limits, it cannot violate the rules of nature.
This also means that many things that black magic can easily achieve after breaking through the limitations of morality, white magic will never be able to do.
But Mages are not gods, they are all mortals with their own inner attachments and desires.
In this case, it is inevitable that Mage will be seduced by the dark forces and become a follower of Mephista.
Among them are even heroes who have made great contributions to resisting the invasion of other dimensions.
Sometimes, even Da Yeshi, who is the Supreme Mage, will inevitably be shaken in the face of Mephista's bewitching.
In the end, he was able to persist because he was not indifferent to the conditions offered by Mephista.
It's just that he has seen too many examples of his colleagues being deceived by Mephista. No matter how nice things Mephista promises, very few of them can actually be realized in the end.
Whenever I think of the eyes of these people struggling to die in despair, and the mocking laughter of the Mephistas playing with them.
The eager desire in Da Yesi's heart will gradually calm down.
Loki, who has never had such an experience, naturally cannot empathize with Da Yesi's emotions.
However, in Loki's memory, Asgard actually had similar problems.
At that time, Odin had just ended his campaign against the Nine Realms and became the ruler of the Nine Realms.
But in the face of the many Asgard Warriors who followed him to fight, Odin simply couldn't come up with enough awards to reward them.
As a wise monarch, Odin is very clear that if he cannot solve this problem, he will plant huge amounts of hidden dangers for his future rule!
In order to completely solve this problem, Odin summoned all the necromancers in Asgard at that time, and created Valhalla, known as the land of heaven, with exquisite magic.
And it also has a more familiar name - Soul castle.
All heroes who have made sacrifices and contributions to Asgard, after their death, their souls will be led to the Soul castle, and continue their lives in another way.
It is equivalent to Odin's conditions of eternal life and the glory of heroes as conditions in exchange for the Warriors' filial piety to him.
Loki thinks that if Kamar-Taj also builds his own "Soul castle", the situation that caused Da Yesi's headache may be improved.
After hearing the idea proposed by Loki, Daresi also thinks that this method is indeed worth a try.
The existence of the Soul castle not only provides a perfect home for the hero's soul, but also minimizes the possibility of Mage being bewitched by Mephista.
"I'm thinking about the establishment of the Soul castle. Now let's talk about your research. If you encounter any new problems, you can bring them up and we can discuss them."
After studying in Kamar-Taj during this period, although Loki's strength has not improved much, his attainments in magic theory have already surpassed the Supreme Mage of Da Yeshi.
So now Daresh will say that this question can be "discussed" instead of directly saying that he can help Loki "answer".
"Teacher, this is the second thing I want to explain to you today. I seem to have found the answer to the mystery of the source of magic power."
