Chapter 77: Stephen Arrives In Kamar-Taj
---
Lorien smiled, realizing he had forgotten it was the weekend. For students, weekends were the best.
But soon Lorien also realized something.
Wrong.
His 9-to-5 schedule and his own psychological studio also have holidays!
He works a 9-5, not a 9-7!
Plus, it's a "work 5, get 2 free" system, so he can still check in after two days off! So, he can rest today and tomorrow too!
Lorien could only say one thing: Double breaks are great!
Anyway, knowing that tomorrow and the day after will be off... Lorien said nothing more. He decided to go back to sleep with Gwen. Besides, Hela had already gone to Germany with them.
So, let her go.
Can I really go and pull her back? Before going back to sleep, Lorien took out his phone and sent a message to Wanda.
"The one named Hela can be left alone."
"Do whatever you want with her, talk to her or ignore her."
"In short, she has no good intentions."
After sending the message, Lorien tossed his phone aside, hugged Gwen, and continued sleeping.
As for clothes...
What clothes?
Lorien doesn't wear anything to sleep.
Gwen was brought into this habit by Lorien. She wore a bra a few times before, but Lorien pulled it off every time.
After that, she went completely the same way as Lorien.
Cough, cough, cough.
At the same time...
In the Himalayas.
A person wrapped in a wind scarf, carrying a backpack, and wearing gloves but still trembling arrived.
After seeing the distant courtyard town, Stephen removed his scarf, looked at the address given by Lorien, and let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally reached."
So many days had passed. Stephen had arrived at the outskirts of the mountains, hundreds of kilometers away.
He came here on foot. Because Lorien told him: You must have a sincere heart to find this holy place.
This was Stephen's only hope. How could he not be sincere? Before the injury healed, Stephen knew there was no cure for his hands!
He's a surgeon. No one knows his situation better than him! And here... is his only hope At the same time, Lorien's parting words... Stephen also hoped that he could face this opportunity sincerely. And do better than his normal future.
A few hours later...
Inside the town where Stephen arrived. He looked at the sparse crowd around him, as well as the vegetable sellers and farm tools, and he was a little dazed.
This is a holy place?
Real or fake?
Stephen took out the address with trembling hands and looked at it. It's around here.
Is it real or fake?
"No, it must be real!"
Slap!
Stephen slapped himself. Lorien wouldn't lie to him! The holy place must be nearby. Just need to find it himself!
He must be able to get started! And so... Stephen took the address note and began asking people.
He had prepared for this before coming, This address had been translated into more than a hundred common languages by him Stephen couldn't believe that no one knew where this place was!
"Hey, oily Spike Ingrid shit?"
"Okay, do you know where this is?"
"Excuse me, do you know where this is?"
And so...
A few hours later... Stephen looked at the address and fell into deep thought.
Why can't he still find it?
He had just asked at least one or two hundred people. But no one knew where this was?
Why? Could he be in the wrong place Should he not be asking here?
Thinking of this, Stephen immediately took the address and ran to other places to start asking.
At the same time... At the Ancient One's shrine in Kamar-Taj.
In an attic. Wong knocked on the door, entered, and said,
"Ancient One, there's an ordinary person in the town who keeps asking about the location of the temple."
The Ancient One opened her eyes and nodded.
"Bring him in."
Wong nodded, then went out to find Stephen. And Stephen, still in the town, continued asking for directions. At that moment, he saw a fat but strangely dressed man. The stranger Stephen saw, the more he wanted to ask.
So he hurried to Wong.
"Sorry to bother you, but here..."
"Follow me."
Wong didn't waste any words. He just told Stephen to follow him.
"Um?"
Stephen was taken aback. But Wong was already turning away. Could he be a bad guy? Stephen thought so at first. But this was his only chance! So, Stephen followed.
Wong led Stephen around for a while. Finally, they stopped in front of a stone wall.
"Go in~"
After saying that, Wong continued walking forward.
"What?"
Stephen was taken aback; he was just about to say something when... He saw Wong walk directly through the stone wall and into the wall.
"Damn..."
Stephen didn't react at first. Then came excitement.
"The address Lorien gave is correct! Lorien didn't lie to me! Lorien, you are my God!"
Stephen walked toward the stone wall with excitement. He thought he could "melt" into it like Wong.
But... After the sound of hitting the wall echoed... Stephen backed away, holding his nose. And Wong came out from inside the wall again.
"Oh, I forgot you don't know how to use spells. Come with me."
Wong suppressed a smile as he spoke. Then he leaned on the wall, bringing Stephen along.
Once inside the wall...
They were greeted by a venue that suddenly expanded several times in size. Attics, courtyards, martial arts fields, stairs... The layering of these buildings had a very historical feel.
Stephen also felt he had come to the right place! As the two walked through Midgard, Stephen looked at the people coming and going and asked Wong,
"Are these magicians?"
Wong gave Stephen a strange look.
"You know about magicians?"
"Definitely," Stephen replied, looking back at Wong. "A friend of mine, who was hiding in front of me, showed me some magic. He's the one who told me to come."
As soon as this was said... Wong suddenly frowned. Rumors about the holy land of magicians were serious matters!
Once something like this happened... The magician who came out of the Holy Land would have to return and face punishment Otherwise, a high-level magician would be sent to fetch them!
Then bring them back for punishment! So, Wong asked very seriously,
"Who told you about this place?"
Stephen saw Wong's serious face and knew something was up. It seemed that this place was not something to joke about.
And he would definitely not betray Lorien. So, Stephen pretended not to understand and explained,
"Um, a friend... I his name is Lorien; I don't know anything else, um, I really don't know."
As soon as Stephen finished speaking... He felt like no one would believe what he said. But the result was that after Wong heard this...
His frown disappeared; it was all normal, nothing to worry about.
"Let's go."
Stephen stared at the departing Wong, stunned. He believed that so easily? Why? Stephen didn't understand. But he had to hurry up. As they walked on, Wong looked ahead and softly asked Stephen at the same time, "The Lorien you mentioned, his name has just two characters, right?"
How does he know all this? Stephen was shocked. But he gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"I have no idea."
Wong gave Stephen a look. He seemed to know what was going on.
"Handsome, a bit taller than you, black hair, good temperament, right?"
Hearing this... Stephen was shocked. He asked Wong directly, "Do you know him?" Wong didn't answer.
He didn't dare to answer that question. Fortunately, they had arrived at the door of the Ancient One's attic.
