177A Bleecker Street, Manhattan.
In front of a three-story building, Finney looked at the iconic pattern on the roof and breathed a sigh of relief. After more than an hour of searching, he finally found the place.
Standing in front of the gate and looking at the building, Finney felt a strange feeling. To put it simply, it seemed that he could ignore it if he didn't pay attention.
Finney didn't know if this was magic, but he was a little hesitant about whether to go in. Although he had been preparing for nearly a month, he was still a little hesitant when he really faced it.
"By the way, with the ability of the Ancient One, she must have seen that I was coming now. Didn't she show up because she thought I shouldn't come?"
"No, it may be that she is already waiting for me inside, but she just doesn't want to come to pick me up in person. After all, she is the Supreme Sorcerer, and she has to be arrogant in front of her apprentice."
After thinking about it in his mind, Finney finally took a step and walked towards the New York Sanctuary.
The door opened as soon as it was pushed. After entering, Finney looked around. The empty hall was very quiet. All the items had a classical atmosphere. A staircase led directly to the second floor.
"Looks like they are so rich."
Looking at this luxurious and aristocratic environment, Finny muttered to himself. With the experience of the last time, he dared not speak nonsense again, even when there seemed to be no one around.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
Finny did not act rashly, but shouted in the hall. After all, this is one of the three holy places. Who knows if there are any magic traps set up around.
Soon, a man came down from upstairs... Bald! ?
Looking at the man's bald head, Finny suddenly felt a little worried about his hair. The price of learning magic from Ancient One should not be losing hair! ?
Thinking about the future Doctor Strange, Finny put his thoughts aside for the time being and said to the wizard who came downstairs, "Hello, I am the disciple accepted by Master Ancient One some time ago. My name is Finny Halsetz, you can just call me Finny."
"Disciple of Master Ancient One?"
The man was stunned, looked at Finny with some confusion, and then replied, "Hello, I'm Daniel Demla. I'm sorry, Master Halsetz, but I haven't heard that Master Ancient One has accepted any disciples recently?"
"Cough..."
Finny coughed dryly with some embarrassment, then tried his best not to feel guilty, and replied, "Maybe the master feels that my level is not good enough and it's difficult to say it. This time I came here, actually I want to ask Master Daniel to take me to see the master. I have some questions to ask her."
Daniel stared at Finny for a long time with a scrutinizing look, and then, as if he felt that Finny was not a threat, he nodded and said, "Please follow me."
Daniel took Finny to a corner on the left side of the hall, where there was a closed door.
Finney watched Daniel open the door, but behind him was a stone wall.
Then Daniel made a few strange gestures, and orange-red energy filled his hands. He pressed them against the wall, and the stone wall began to change rapidly, slowly becoming transparent, and finally like a water curtain.
In terms of teleportation, the Earth is really not bad!
Finney silently praised in his heart. Although the Earth now looks weak overall, if the hidden strength is taken into account, it is enough to surpass many civilizations in the universe.
Crossing the water curtain, the two came to a place that looked like a library. There was a huge model of the Earth above it, floating motionlessly in the air at this moment.
Finney looked at everything around him curiously, especially the locked magic books.
When passing by the Earth model, Finney took a special look at the platform, but did not find the Eye of Agamotto made of the Time Stone, which should be on the Ancient One.
Daniel led Finney all the way forward without talking or chatting.
The time zone changed, and it was already evening in Kamar-Taj. The change in the sky made Finny feel uncomfortable for a while. Other people on the road just looked at Finny's outfit curiously, but no one paid too much attention to it.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go inform Master Ancient One."
After arriving at a reception room, Daniel asked Finny to sit and wait for a while, and then disappeared.
Finny sat on the chair nervously. In the past month, he kept thinking about what to say when he saw Ancient One, and what he could answer if the other party asked. Now it was finally time to deal with it.
"Welcome to Kamar-Taj, Mr. Hailsides."
Soon, a familiar voice sounded in his ears. Ancient One, who was brighter, brighter and stronger than Daniel, appeared in the living room and asked, "Would you like some tea?"
"Thank you, just call me Finny, Master."
Finny stood up quickly, looked at Ancient One with a little nervousness and replied. Beside her was Daniel who had led the way before.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Daniel. I want to talk to Master Finny next."
After sending Daniel away, only Finny and Gu Yi were left in the room. After brewing two cups of tea skillfully, Gu Yi sat down and said with a smile: "Try it. It's Chinese Longjing. I wonder if you are used to it."
Finny did not refuse. He directly picked up the teacup and took a sip. There was a slight tightening feeling on his tongue. It was not bitter, but a little sweet aftertaste, accompanied by a fresh fragrance, which instantly made his head, which was a little dizzy after making the compass, clear up a lot.
"It tastes good!"
Finny couldn't help but praise it. He was lacking in knowledge and couldn't say too much. Anyway, it tasted good.
"Thank you!" Gu Yi smiled and took a sip of the teacup. His movements were elegant and natural.
Finny didn't come here to drink tea. Although the tea was good, he didn't drink much. Looking at Gu Yi who was tasting it carefully, he took the initiative to say: "Master Gu Yi, I want to learn magic from you, can I?"
"But don't you already know it?"
Gu Yi looked over calmly.
"No one would dislike having more knowledge." Finny answered seriously: "I haven't used that power much yet, I would like to ask the master to teach me."
"What if I am actually preventing you from using this power?"
Suddenly, Gu Yi said something shocking.
"What!?"
Finny was a little stunned. He thought that Gu Yi might refuse, or agree, or put forward conditions or restrictions, but he never thought of this answer.
The slow progress of the 'Golden Great Evolution Technique' seems to be related to Gu Yi! ?
"No one can truly control the future, Mr. Halsetz." Gu Yi said slowly: "I have seen too many possibilities of the future, but I still feel that the future is unknowable, especially you."
"Sometimes your future will be beyond imagination, but sometimes you can't see anything. I'm not even sure whether it was right to choose to see you then and now!"
Gu Yi walked up to Finny, stared at him with deep eyes and said: "The power you have is terrifying, Finny, you may make the world a better place, but you may also destroy it faster."
"Fini Halsetz, you have a huge impact on this world!"
Well... the contract has been signed, to celebrate, you can give a reward! Please support me! By the way, in my impression, Gu Yi's personality is a very kind teacher, well, he also has a playful and joking side.
