The arrival of Kasilios did not cause any waves in Kamar-Taj for the time being. Except for Finny, no one had any prejudice against him. After all, most people here had their own stories. On the contrary, Finny was the only one who got in through connections.
In the library.
Finny closed the ancient and heavy magic book depressedly. He had almost read the book to pieces. He knew most of the words on it, but he just couldn't use the spells related to spirits.
Not to mention knocking out other people's souls, now he couldn't even make his own soul leave his body. He even doubted whether the method written by the author was true or false. Of course, this was just a frustrated doubt.
But it was not a solution to continue like this, so he decided to find the Ancient One to think of a solution.
After talking to the library administrator, Finny found the Ancient One with the magic book in his hand.
"Teacher, please help me!"
Finny came to Ancient One, holding the book and explaining distressedly: "I really can't understand what is written on it, you should just let me experience the feeling of the soul leaving the body!"
"Maybe you are too hasty."
Ancient One slowly brewed tea, looking lazy.
"I have to be anxious." Finny looked at Ancient One with resentment: "Now January is almost over, and I still don't have any clues."
"So I told you at the beginning that the magic of Kamar-Taj may not be suitable for you. "
Ancient One still looked calm. "Teacher, I will be embarrassed
if I go out like this, so I will help you." Finny looked at Ancient One pitifully: "It's just a wave of the hand."
"You!"
Ancient One stood up from the chair helplessly, walked to Finny, put his left hand on his waist, held his right hand in a palm shape, and waved his palm to Finny's chest.
In an instant, Finny felt that the world had changed.
He also became light and fluttery. Looking down, he found that his body was in a semi-transparent state, but his clothes and other things did not change. Even the magic book in his arms was knocked out of the soul state.
His body was in front of him. After being pushed by the ancient one, he was retreating at a very, very slow speed.
Before Finny could experience it for long, he suddenly felt a great suction from the body in front of him.
The next second, he returned to his normal state and took a step back.
Finny recalled the feeling just now. This was his first time to have a soul out of his body. The novel experience made him want to do it again, but the ancient one did not agree.
"Haste makes waste, and nothing can be forced!"
The ancient one sat back on the chair, took a sip of tea, and ordered Finny to leave: "Go back, I believe you will master it sooner or later."
"How late is that late!"
Finny muttered helplessly, but he also knew the temperament of the ancient one. It is difficult to change the decision made, so he had to leave with the book.
On the way back, Finny saw Kasilios again. He was practicing hard alone at this time. His mental appearance had changed slightly. He was no longer as sad as before. It should be that the Ancient One had talked to him about something.
Finny looked at him from afar. After what happened with Tony, he knew that the future could be changed by him, so he did not want to contact Kasilios for the time being, worried that it would affect him to surrender to Dormammu in advance.
After that, Finny tried to practice the spirit body again. After the help of the Ancient One, he was finally no longer so clueless, but it was still a long way from the soul leaving the body.
After returning the book to the library, Finny opened the portal and returned home. The early morning of Kamar-Taj was already night for New York, and the frequent jet lag did not make him uncomfortable.
In the room, just as Finny was about to rest, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Finny, are you in the room?"
"Yes, come in!"
Finny responded, looking at Skye who opened the door and walked in, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Finny, there is something I want to talk to you about."
"Yeah!"
Skye's expression seemed a little hesitant, as if she didn't know how to start, but the persistence in the depths of her eyes still made her hesitate and say:
"Finny, I don't mean anything else. You know, I have lived a happy life these years. My parents are like my biological parents...but..."
As soon as Skye opened her mouth, Finny knew what she wanted to say. Her biological parents' abandonment of her was a demon in her heart. Although she already had a real home here, she still couldn't let go of this matter.
"You said that Master Ancient One could know the future, so can you help me ask about them..."
Finny sighed silently in his heart. As early as more than a year ago, Skye was investigating this matter, but at that time he was worried that the investigation would lead to conflicts with SHIELD, so he tried his best to stop her.
Now another year has passed, and Skye still can't forget this matter.
"Skye, I understand what you mean."
Finney waved Skye to sit down beside the bed, looked at her seriously and said, "Actually, I do know some information about your parents, but I want to remind you that their situation may not be very good."
"You really know!?" Skye excitedly grabbed Finney's hands, and asked nervously and complicatedly, "Who are they? Where are they now?"
"I forgot their names."
Finney scratched his head awkwardly, coughed slightly, and quickly continued, "I don't know the location very well, anyway, I know part of the reason why you were abandoned."
For the sake of his family, Finney can give up some principles, such as spoilers.
He didn't want to tell Skye the reason directly at the beginning because he didn't have the power to protect her, and he was also worried that Skye would do something irrational under impulse.
But during this period of time, Skye has seen the wizard of Kamar-Taj, witnessed the high-profile debut of Iron Man, and even experienced the "evil ghost" in person. His understanding of the world has changed a lot.
And he also has some strength, so he doesn't have to be so cautious anymore. Of course, the most important thing is that he is worried about Skye's investigation alone.
Realizing that he might know the truth that he had been concerned about for many years, Skye felt more complicated than he had imagined. He took a deep breath, as if he had made sufficient preparations, and then asked seriously:
"What's the reason?"
"Your hometown was attacked, they took your mother away, and then another organization took you away to protect you and sent you to an orphanage."
"So, they didn't abandon me on their own initiative, right?"
Skye didn't seem to realize that he was actually secretly relieved in his heart. After seeing Finny nod, he asked about the reason again: "Who attacked my mother, and my father? Who took me away? Why did you send me to an orphanage?"
Skye found that his life experience didn't seem to be that simple. A lot of things can be seen from Finny's words alone.
