Rorschach had a calm expression and his hands were behind his back.
Standing inside the building of Kamar-Taj, which is specially used to store many magical instruments.
In the dimly lit room.
The slightly plump king took the gifts and said to Rorschach who was looking around,
"Mr. Rorschach, Master Ancient One knows that you don't like Kamar-Taj's magic, so the gifts he prepared are basically powerful magic tools that can be used at any time."
The king took down a giant single-edged axe with complicated runes on its surface from an old wooden rack.
He casually handed it to Rorschach and said,
"This is an ancient magic weapon that Master Ancient One found in an ancient battlefield at the center of the moon. It is called the Axe of Angarumus. Its casting material is completely unknown, but its strength is far beyond imagination, and it has extremely powerful magic-breaking properties. Any magic shield or magic array can be easily broken."
Rorschach squinted his eyes and raised his hand to grasp the giant axe.
The next second, the cold metal handle held tightly in the palm of the hand suddenly became hot.
Then, the shape of the entire axe suddenly changed into the double-edged form of the fine power axe 'Frost Fang' in his memory!
Not only was the ice sapphire in the center of the axe blade almost identical, but even the weight and feel were familiar to him.
"This is..."
Rorschach subconsciously widened his eyes.
He couldn't help but turn his gaze to look at the king in front of him, his eyes seemed full of confusion.
The king, with a silly smile on his face, seemed to have expected this.
He gathered his sleeves with both hands and said with a smile:
"This melee weapon has a very special function. If the holder has seen or used a more powerful axe weapon, it will change according to the holder's subconscious. Of course, it is limited to the appearance. If you are not satisfied, you can also change it back to its previous appearance."
The king's words had just fallen.
After swinging the double-edged axe a few times and gradually regaining the familiar feel, Rorschach couldn't help but bare his fangs.
He smiled and shook his head and said,
"No need. It's much better this way. It couldn't be better!"
"I'm glad you're satisfied. There's another gift waiting for your inspection."
Wang, with a simple and honest expression, smiled.
He immediately turned around and walked into the room.
When Wang came back from the gaps between the wooden frames.
In his two hands, he was already holding a mahogany box that looked even older.
After opening the wooden box, a bronze ring with unknown oracle bone characters engraved all over it appeared in front of Rorschach.
"It is said that this is a protective magic weapon that Master Gu Yi won by betting with Shou Lao, the guardian of the hidden city of Kunlun."
"It can generate an invisible protective barrier that can withstand most magic spells. Its special function is also very interesting. All animals on Earth will obey the call and command of the holder. I think this may be related to the previous holder, because Shou Lao is not a human being, but an ancient species in mythology and legends."
"Ancient creatures? It seems that the magical world on Earth is also very lively."
Rorschach, who temporarily put down the local version of 'Frost Fang', blinked slightly.
He reached out and picked up the small and delicate bronze ring, then raised his hand and gestured.
With a helpless expression, Rorschach put the bronze ring on the little finger of his left hand. This was the only finger he could wear the ring on.
The next moment, Rorschach vaguely felt an extremely thick invisible shield completely covering his entire body.
At this moment, Rorschach, who truly felt the powerful effect of the magic weapon, stared at Wang who was turning around and putting the wooden box back.
He suddenly asked thoughtfully,
"King, since you have so many magical instruments here, why don't you distribute them to all the magicians?"
"Rather than just sitting here and gathering dust, wouldn't it be a good idea to give Kamar-Taj some extra strength?"
"Mr. Rorschach, according to the iron law set by Vishanti, the Lord of White Magic, the most important principle of magic is equal exchange. The mages of Kamar-Taj also abide by this principle at all times, because past experience tells us that if you gain something, you will lose something. In addition, it is often difficult for a formal mage to master an unfamiliar magic weapon in a short period of time. Only by slowly becoming familiar with it from the apprenticeship period can it be used perfectly."
"Another problem is that the personalities of many apprentices or mages are unpredictable, and we dare not let them control some powerful magic tools alone."
Wang explained to Rorschach with a serious expression.
"However, the last time the Supreme Sanctuary was lost and completely destroyed, Brother Mordo also felt the flaws and crises of Kamar-Taj. Some of your ideas also completely enlightened him. Now, Brother Mordo is looking for a way to manufacture standard magic tools."
"He also wants to turn Kamar-Taj's apprentices into a mage army wearing heavy armor with protective spells and holding powerful long-range magic weapons. Of course, Senior Brother Mordo never dared to mention this idea to Master Ancient One, so please keep it a secret for us."
Hearing the king's words.
Rorschach nodded slightly at the other party.
After thinking for a while, he said to Wang,
"If you need some scientific or technical support and help in the future, you can come and talk to me. You know, in terms of productivity, mechanical devices are much stronger than manpower."
"Mr. Rorschach, thank you for everything you have done. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be promoted to the guardian mage of the New York Sanctuary. We may have more frequent contacts in the future."
"Um..."
Rorschach, who was in the process of relocating his underground base, smiled and said nothing.
He just made a faint nasal sound from his nose.
——At
this moment.
Strange, his eyes filled with nervousness, sat stiffly in front of Master Ancient One.
He stretched out his hands respectfully and took the empty teacup that the other party handed over.
Then, Strange was once again shocked by the Ancient One's trick of creating tea out of thin air.
Master Gu Yi, with a satisfied smile on his face, stared at the other person and took a sip of hot tea.
She suddenly asked Strange:
"Mr. Strange, what exactly are you looking for?"
"I want the power to control my own destiny, the wisdom to face everything bravely!"
Strange seemed to remember something and said without hesitation.
"But you just don't want to take on the corresponding responsibilities, right?"
Master Ancient One stared at Strange's dark eyes with a half-smile and asked softly.
"Before coming here, I have already prepared myself mentally. No matter what kind of test you give me, I will not back down!"
"As for the responsibility you mentioned, it's nothing more than those monsters that will cause a huge crisis to the world of ordinary people... I think I can easily deal with it after learning magic!"
Strange said with a serious expression and a firm tone.
"Tsk... your courage is commendable, but many things are far more complicated than you think... For example, Kamar-Taj's magic completely follows the principle of equivalent exchange. The more powerful a spell you want to cast, the greater the price you have to pay."
Before he finished speaking, Master Gu Yi suddenly raised a hand with slender knuckles.
The next second, the two people were completely covered by a crackling mirror space!
Before Strange could open his eyes and observe the surroundings.
The voice of Master Gu Yi slowly reached his ears.
"But now, I want to introduce you to a new path, a path that is more in line with the impression of mortals, the original power that a wizard can control..."
"The name of this power is...psychic power!"
Thank you for your support!
