Chapter 61 the Origin and Current Status of Kamar-taj
Kamar-Taj and Roy's impression are somewhat different, more real and more lifelike.
For example, Lao Wang is a very interesting person and very frank.
From his communication with Lao Wang, Roy quickly gained a general understanding of the entire Kamar-Taj.
Kamar-Taj was not the mountain gate chosen by the Ancient One after he became the Sorcerer Supreme as Roy imagined, but the place where the Ancient One was originally born.
It's just like people giving back to their hometown after making a fortune outside.
When Ancient One was young, he also traveled abroad. He even won the title of Sorcerer Supreme at the necromancer conference held by the elderly Genghis Khan and was strongly retained by Genghis Khan.
But Ancient One was indifferent and eventually returned to his hometown to settle down.
For nearly a hundred years.
Kamar-Taj has always been a peaceful little village, where the Ancient One and the monks of the "Seven Ones" village discuss the natural world and study magic together.
Until 1666, when an unprecedented fire broke out in London.
However, during the Great Fire of London, the Ancient One discovered the duplication of the dimension Mephista Dormammu and retreated it.
Because of this encounter, Dormammu completely hated the Ancient One, and even after being expelled after several battles, he spread the coordinates of the Earth to the Mephista group in the dimension.
As a last resort, Ancient One reached a cooperation with the three gods of Vishanti.
In the 18th century, the Ancient One used the Eye of Agamotto to find the ruins of three holy places from the prehistoric magical age, and built three holy places on them, erecting a magical barrier to protect the entire earth.
After the construction of the three major Holy Places in New York, London and Hong Kong Island.
In order to maintain the operation of the three Holy Places, the idea of building a magician force gradually emerged.
However, at that time, the Ancient One had no intention of opening a mountain gate or accepting apprentices. It simply filled the three major holy places with the monks of Kamar-Taj.
Gradually, the monks would occasionally bring back some orphans and apprentices.
In order to put these magic apprentices on the right track, Ancient One built a magic library, a teaching center, etc.
It has evolved to the present day and has become the Kamar-Taj.
In this case, the magician faction of Kamar-Taj is very contaminated.
Such as Hamil, Lao Wang and other Kamar-Taj local factions.
Such as those wild magicians from the outside world who came here to seek refuge with the Sorcerer Supreme.
Such as the orthodox disciples of the Ancient One, such as Mordo and Kaecilius.
There are even some neutral groups composed of people who entered Kamar-Taj accidentally or came to Kamar-Taj for help for various reasons.
In fact, most people in Kamar-Taj are aware of the character of the Ancient One magician and are secretly fighting for the position of the next Sorcerer Supreme.
However, due to the suppression of the Ancient One magician, this struggle was not obvious.
At the same time, this struggle was also the reason why Lao Wang came to Roy in the first place.
As a local faction of Kamar-Taj, Lao Wang's family has been servants of the Sorcerer Supreme for generations, and can be said to be the stewards of Kamar-Taj.
The Wang family has no choice but to participate in this kind of fight.
Even if other factions cannot become Sorcerer Supreme, they will not suffer much loss.
After all, the three Holy Places require a large number of magicians to maintain their operation.
But the Wang family is too closely tied to the position of Sorcerer Supreme, and is also a local faction of Kamar-Taj.
Once the Ancient One magician steps down and the Wang family fails to establish a relationship with the new Sorcerer Supreme, perhaps even Kamar-Taj's local interests will be eroded.
This kind of loss is something that the Wang family, and even the entire Kamar-Taj local faction, cannot afford.
Fortunately, as one of the closest people to the Ancient One magician, King Hamil understands the Ancient One magician's thoughts very well.
Therefore, when the Ancient One magician accepted Mordo, Kaecilius and other disciples, the Wang family remained silent and did not directly join him.
Until Roy appeared and the special treatment shown by the Ancient One magician.
King Hamil immediately realized Roy's importance in the eyes of the Ancient One magician.
However, King Hamil was also very cautious and did not dismiss Roy as the chief steward of Kamar-Taj. Instead, he asked his son, Fatty Lao Wang, to help Roy get familiar with Kamar-Taj.
Be friends first, then make a decision.
Deep in the magic library, in a relatively leisurely reading corridor.
Lao Wang was muttering his complaints, but Roy seemed to be listening, his eyes focused on a book on the basic magic principles of Kamar-Taj.
Wait until all the donuts, potato chips, biscuits in Lao Wang's arms are gone.
Lao Wang patted his belly and looked at Roy helplessly, saying, "No, brother, since I'm so honest, you should give me some reaction when the time comes."
"Although fighting for the Sorcerer Supreme position is rather boring, what exactly are you thinking?"
Roy glanced at the snack crumbs that floated onto the table and looked silently at Lao Wang.
Lao Wang laughed awkwardly and said, "It was an accident, absolutely an accident!"
Roy was speechless. He tapped his fingertips lightly on the tabletop. His cleaning technique was like a halo of flowing water, clearing away all the snack crumbs. At the same time, he said, "This kind of thing is really boring."
"From what I know, the position of Sorcerer Supreme doesn't seem to be inherited. It must be achieved through actual strength."
"The previous Sorcerer Supreme, Merlin, relied on the artifact and King Arthur's support to conquer all of Europe, earning him the title of Supreme Merlin.
"Ancient One also won the title of Sorcerer Supreme after demonstrating his absolute strength at the Necromancer Conference."
"Do you really need to use all these factions and fights?"
In the extraordinary world, strength is king.
I have to say that Roy's words, although from an outsider's perspective, do make sense.
Lao Wang nodded involuntarily and said, "What you said makes sense, but you can't say it's completely useless. After all, in the current magician world, except for us Kamar-Taj... Wait, what did you do in 4.6 just now? Casting without a wand. Am I seeing things?"
"Holy... Thank you. I knew it. My dad never made a mistake. Even though it's just a small spell, it's been a long time since the supernatural receded and no one has been able to cast spells without a wand."
Lao Wang's face was filled with excitement. He reached out to touch Roy's waist and body, trying to find out if there was any hidden spellcasting medium.
Roy directly slapped Lao Wang's "dirty hands" away and gave him a look of disgust.
"No need to look for it. There's no other medium for casting spells. Can't I just use my hands to cast spells without a wand?"
"..."
"You want to learn?"
"Um!"
"You won't even call me Master Roy!"
"Master Roy..."
