"Bang, bang, bang~!"
"Open the door, old hag! I know you're in there! I have an urgent matter! Open up!! "
"Bang, bang, bang~!"
New York, 177A Bleecker Street, outside the Sanctum Sanctorum.
Luka held an orange haro in one hand and continuously hammered on the door with the other.
Initially, Luka was quite polite and respectful, thinking that when asking for help, one should have the attitude of someone asking for help. Not only did he respectfully address her as 'Sorcerer Supreme' and 'Sorcerer Ancient One', but he also tried to knock gently and rhythmically.
However, after knocking for nearly half an hour, Luka's address was no longer so particular.
If he could just 'curse' that old hag out, he'd gladly perform a face-roll on the keyboard!
As for why Luka was sure he hadn't come to the wrong place and that someone was definitely inside?
"Haro! Is there still an internet connection in here?!"
Luka looked at the little thing in his arms with a fierce gaze, hoping to get a different answer from it.
Indeed, at first, Luka didn't know the exact location of the New York Sanctum.
The previous two times he met the Ancient One, it was in a hurry; the old hag didn't say anything, and Luka didn't have time to ask.
However, the last time the Spotted Man invaded the school, Luka was worried about causing a major event involving the multiverse, so he had Hakimi use big data analysis to filter and lock down several possible addresses.
Although Luka didn't use these addresses later because he wanted to capture the Spotted Man himself.
But this time, it involved Mephisto, a lord of a hell dimension, so he went to those addresses one by one.
He finally pinpointed this 'ordinary small building' which had no house number recorded, had all utilities like water, electricity, and internet, but had never paid any bills.
Of course, another reason that confirmed to Luka that this was the New York Sanctum was that this ordinary wooden door, no matter what methods he used, simply couldn't be opened.
"Connecting to the internet, connecting to the internet!"
"Downloading movie, downloading movie!"
Upon hearing Haro's reply, Luka immediately became even more furious.
"Alright, I'm burning with anxiety here, and you're in the mood to watch a small movie, aren't you? Old hag, do you really think I can't deal with you?"
Although Luka couldn't get inside the New York Sanctum right now, since he could detect the internet signal, he naturally could...
"Haro! Cut off the internet for this house! Then tell the person inside that I'm here!"
30 seconds later.
The door of the New York Sanctum Sanctorum opened with a soft creak.
A bald, stout man in a simple monk's robe stepped out, looking around with a puzzled expression.
"Hey, I'm right here, a living person. What are you looking around for?!"
Hearing Luka's words, the previously puzzled Chinese Sorcerer immediately became serious.
He clenched his fists and sharply swung them to both sides.
"Swish~"
Two circular magic arrays, emitting golden sparks, suddenly shot out from his fists.
Then, he asked Luka very cautiously.
"Are you the one who claimed he wanted to challenge the place?"
"???"
Luka looked at the orange haro in his hand with a bewildered expression.
However, the little guy excitedly jumped twice.
"Announcing Luka's arrival, announcing Luka's arrival!"
Inside the Sanctum Sanctorum, in front of the reception room's coffee table.
"So, Sorcerer Ancient One isn't here? No, even if she's not, I've been knocking for so long...."
Before Luka could finish, the Sorcerer Wong in front of him rolled his eyes and turned to look at the vast interior of the Sanctum Sanctorum.
"It's just me here right now, and it's such a big house. If you just knock from outside, who can hear you?"
"Alright… I was impetuous…"
'When under someone else's roof!' Luka repeatedly reminded himself, forcibly suppressing the urge to punch the other party twice, and asked in a gentle tone.
"Then Sorcerer Ancient One, she…"
Just as he said this, Luka's words were interrupted again.
However, this time it wasn't Wong who actively stopped him.
Instead, after hearing his words, the other party looked around in a somewhat panicked manner, and only after seeing no changes did he let out a long sigh of relief.
However, considering that this young man opposite him seemed to genuinely know the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong explained with a hint of disdain.
"Sorcerer Ancient One hasn't been on Earth for a while, and she explicitly stated that all Sanctum Sanctorum and Kamar-Taj would refuse visitors during this period."
"So, if you have something to discuss with the Sorcerer, you'll have to wait a while."
Seeing that the other party clearly didn't want to say more and seemed ready to send him away, Luka quickly spoke again.
"I really need to see Sorcerer Ancient One; it's urgent. Don't you have any way to contact her urgently?"
Considering that these mystical individuals always have some strange methods.
Even though this was one of the Sanctum Sanctorum, without the Ancient One present, Luka still didn't plan to directly speak Mephisto's name.
To avoid any mishap where the name itself might carry magic, leading to him being targeted by that guy.
However, upon hearing Luka say "emergency contact," Wong shook his head again, still with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"I told you, Sorcerer Ancient One isn't on Earth. Her phone currently has no signal, so how could we possibly contact her?"
At this, Luka was completely dumbfounded.
He almost blurted out a mouthful of complaints.
"No… phone??"
"Don't you have any magic means to contact her??"
A strange look flashed across Wong's face, but he explained with patience.
"Communication magic is difficult to learn, but its usefulness isn't great. Few people in Kamar-Taj nowadays still master such magic."
"And Sorcerer Ancient One said before that she was going beyond the World. Among all the Sorcerers in Kamar-Taj, besides Sorcerer Ancient One herself, no one can achieve inter-World communication."
"So if you want to communicate with Sorcerer Ancient One, you can only wait for her to initiate contact with Earth, or simply wait until she returns to Earth."
At this point, Luka was already feeling a bit troubled.
The last time the Ancient One proactively sought him out, it seemed to be through a clone.
And that was when he synthesized the hex core, accidentally creating a Dimensional Wormhole.
Now, to make the Ancient One proactively contact him, he couldn't possibly create another Dimensional Wormhole, could he?
Luka felt he didn't have that ability.
After much hesitation, Luka finally picked and chose his words, explaining the situation he encountered to Wong.
After all, this guy would also hold the position of Sorcerer Supreme in the future; perhaps he could offer some help?
But after he finished speaking, what he got in return was Wong's…
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
