When Jason saw Ancient One, he had a strange sense of familiarity.
It was as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he was sure that this was the first time he saw Ancient One.
The first time he knew about mages was during the war with the Hand.
And his understanding of Ancient One was only made after talking with Iron Fist.
And when he was walking through Kamar-Taj with Wong before, he had a strong sense of déjà vu.
It was as if he had been here before and seen these strange buildings.
This is deep in the Himalayas.
Even if he counts his previous life, he has never been to this place which is known as the last pure land for mankind.
Moreover, the smile from the Supreme Sorcerer in front of him seemed a little too friendly.
When Ancient One signaled Wong, who was leading Jason, to step back.
Jason and Ancient One were the only ones left in the hall.
Jason pondered his words and lowered his posture.
"Respected Master, why did you summon me here?"
Jason was still a little worried that his secret would be seen through by Ancient One.
So he is very humble now and even prepared a set of excuses.
But it seems that Ancient One did not see through his secret, nor did he use his power to explore him.
He didn't ask Jason too many other questions.
Because Jason didn't know that his so-called secret had actually betrayed him long ago.
And he is still kept in the dark.
Ancient One did not stand up and approach Jason, he just sat there quietly.
The quiet atmosphere between the two made Jason feel awkward.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and Ancient One finally spoke.
"Because I need warriors." Ancient One's words were a bit incoherent.
Jason understood it according to his own thoughts. Did the warriors that Ancient One mentioned refer to the mages who were practicing outside?
It seems that they are all followers of the Ancient One, and they also contributed a lot in the last battle against the Hand.
To be honest, Jason is still somewhat interested in magic.
In previous movies, Harry Potter was more attractive to Jason than Marvel heroes.
But if he was asked to practice hard here, he would not be willing to do so.
There is probably no wifi in the Himalayas.
Besides, he has family and friends outside, and he's afraid he can't abandon them to learn magic.
Jason considered his words and said, "Master Ancient One, thank you for your invitation, but I'm afraid I can't learn magic from you."
Jason was a little afraid that his refusal would make Ancient One unhappy.
But it seems that Ancient One didn't seem angry at all. Instead, there was a smile on his face.
He shook his head and spoke in a very peaceful tone.
"I don't need you to be my follower."
"And if you forgive me for being blunt, Nightwalker, you don't have any particularly outstanding magical talent."
Why did Jason feel that there was a hint of mockery in Ancient One's smile?
He must have seen it wrong. Aren't important figures like these supposed to keep their emotions secret?
And you concluded that he had no talent for magic without even testing him? Jason felt that he was being looked down upon.
"What I call a warrior is someone who can truly stand up and protect the world when the earth is in crisis." Ancient One looked into Jason's eyes and stated his definition of a warrior.
"Huh?" Jason was a little confused. "I think you may think too highly of me, Master. I'm afraid I can't take on this important task."
Jason is very clear about his own capabilities.
A large number of people were gathered to fight the Hand.
And he can't even defeat a low-quality Ghost Rider riding a Suzuki motorcycle.
If it weren't for the appearance of Mage Wong, their group would most likely be blocked, and the people from the Hand would successfully summon the beast.
"I'm not asking you to save the world right away. Your power is still too weak. I'm afraid even Wong won't need to spend much effort to deal with you."
Ancient One was telling the truth, but Jason felt that his heart was hurt.
"I'm planning for the future." said Ancient One.
"Forgive me for saying this, but I understand that the Earth is now under your protection."
"With your great power, I really find it hard to believe that anyone else can invade the Earth."
Jason was serious about this statement. In Jason's opinion, a wizard who could travel through locked time and space was simply a powerful weapon.
In particular, he can play with the terrible demon in the palm of his hand.
Ancient One shook his head upon hearing this. "In this world, I am not as powerful as you think."
Ancient One waved his sleeves lightly, and a mirror wall rose up.
Golden Sanskrit suddenly appeared from the air and surrounded him.
Countless formations quickly formed and then collapsed behind him.
Jason felt that the entire space and time was shaken at this moment.
The space around him began to collapse rapidly, and this scene almost scared Jason to death.
But before he could actually make a sound, he found that his entire body was being dragged forward rapidly.
Countless galaxies flew past him, and the development processes of countless civilizations appeared in his eyes.
From early primitive people, to the early stages of civilization, then entering the industrial age, and finally stepping into the galaxy to begin expanding territory.
This civilization was so grand that they conquered a galaxy almost as large as the Milky Way, and they declared themselves the rulers of the universe.
Until a man appeared, wearing a tattered black cloak and holding a golden scimitar.
He brought endless death wherever he went, to those galactic fleets that once dominated the universe.
Under his dead blade, it was as fragile as ordinary A4 paper.
He easily harvested all the lives in this huge empire.
And this was just the first scene that Jason saw.
And then there was more destruction before his eyes.
A blue-skinned woman holding a terrifying spear.
One of her attacks could tear apart a star, and the star's explosion was enough to destroy civilizations that depended on the star.
There is also a group of green-skinned guys who are destroying civilizations on a country-by-country basis.
And a group of blue-skinned guys. They have been entangled and fighting in the universe for countless years.
Countless civilizations were destroyed by the wars between them.
Jason's perspective followed Ancient One as he soared through the universe, as if he had experienced tens of millions of years.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself still in the hall of Ancient One.
He was lying on the ground, his entire body soaked in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.
"Your mental power is better than I thought." Ancient One moved and stood in front of Jason, looking down at Jason.
Jason was breathing heavily and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Are those people, those destroyers real?"
Jason really hopes that Ancient One will say that those are all lies.
In Jason's memory, the biggest crisis facing the earth was just the Battle of New York.
And what are these? They look way better than the aliens from the Battle of New York.
Do they also exist in this universe? Will they invade here?
They are so powerful, will he, his friends and family die?
A series of worries suddenly flooded into Jason's mind.
"They are all real. The only good news is that they don't have time to take care of the Earth for the time being." Ancient One pulled Jason up.
"The Earth is not a place with abundant resources. They don't think highly of it, at least not yet."
Ancient One's words could not bring any comfort to Jason.
"But they will come one day won't they!"
Ancient One was silent for a while and did not answer immediately.
After a while, he said, "So I need warriors. If we start preparing now, the Earth still has time to arm itself."
"And you'll be an excellent warrior. If you let me."
Jason bit his lips so hard that he even broke a piece of his lip skin.
"How can you guarantee that what you said is true?" Jason did not answer Ancient One immediately.
Although he couldn't see any benefit from Ancient One deceiving him, Jason still hoped that Ancient One was deceiving him.
"I can't promise you anything, I can only ask you to trust me." Ancient One's attitude was sincere.
"I can provide you with sufficient training, and all the knowledge of Kamar-Taj will be open to you."
Jason now had even more doubts in his heart. Ancient One's attitude towards him was a bit too good.
"I'm afraid I can't promise you anything right away, respected mage. Please allow me more time to think."
"Of course, the door of Kamar-Taj is always open to you." Ancient One did not immediately ask Jason to agree to all this.
Because he knew that Jason would come back to find him in the end.
Ancient One took out a ring from his wizard robe and handed it to him.
"This is a token, the credentials of the Supreme Mage. When you need to find me, I will appear."
Jason did not refuse to accept the ring.
At Ancient One's summons, Wong appeared again, and this time he brought Jason here immediately.
When Jason left Kamar-Taj, Ancient One immediately returned to his residence quietly.
On a peak in the Himalayas, he was communicating with people far away using secret language.
"Odin, we need to talk." The person that Ancient One contacted was Odin, the leader of Asgard and the father of the gods.
"Open the Rainbow Bridge. I need to use the Orb of Agometos. Please do not refuse my request."
"I need to confirm something important." Ancient One whispered to the blue sky.
When Jason walked out of a place with the China Power Grid logo printed on the outside.
He found himself in New York again.
And this place with the Chinese power grid logo printed on it turned out to be what the mages call the New York Sanctuary.
When did China's power grid become so advanced?
It seems like he did a lot tonight, in just a few hours.
It combined the cooperation of two multinational giants and met a legendary figure at the same time.
He even has to take on the responsibility of protecting the earth.
The cool breeze in New York at night made Jason shiver, and his feverish head sobered up.
There are many things to do, but you have to do everything step by step. Don't let others disrupt your pace.
And he also needs to find someone to talk to about these things.
