After the hotel discussion, Strange entered the Kama Taj with his family through the New York Temple portal.
In the past, Strange was just a new mage. When the sky fell, the Supreme Mage was there to hold him up. He read books, did exercises, and occasionally competed with the king. He lived a carefree life.
It doesn't work anymore, the butt determines the head, he has become the Supreme Mage, and he can only hold up the sky if it falls.
To be honest, he was under a lot of pressure, especially at this juncture when Hydra could fully invade at any time. He was even more stressed.
Also, on the first day he became the Supreme Mage, he took the lead in breaking the rules and brought the female relatives into Kama Taj. What would other mages think? Would they think that he had poor conduct and was not worthy of the title of Supreme Mage?
Strange looked worried, and Kristen didn't know how to comfort him. She followed him step by step while looking around curiously.
Kama Taj is quieter and more modern than she expected, although the decoration is antique and looks very historical.
But you can see NS series robots everywhere, as well as vending machines along the wooden corridors, and...
She took out her phone and was surprised to find that Kamal Taj actually had wireless network.
It’s really weird. Where is the promised place of ascetic training?
"Stephen, what is the password for Kama Taj's wireless network?"
"Uh, the wireless password is HHHHGYSL, in all capital letters."
Kristen entered the password and asked curiously: "What a strange password. Is it some kind of profound spell?"
"It doesn't have any special meaning. The Supreme Mage decided it casually."
The truth was too cruel and undermined the reputation of the Supreme Mage. Strange decided to conceal the truth and let the past be buried in the depths of time and become a thing of the past forever.
"Stephen, that's wrong, the password is wrong!"
Kristine put up her phone: "I entered the password three times, but every time it said the password was wrong and the connection could not be connected."
"Impossible, this password has never been changed. Bring me your phone and try..."
Strange didn't believe it, so he took the phone and tried it twice himself to confirm that Christine was not lying and that the wireless network password was indeed wrong.
"This this……"
Strange was dumbfounded. Who is so bold as to dare to change the password set by the Supreme Mage? This is asking for death!
Suddenly, Strange discovered something was wrong. Kama Taj was too quiet today. He led Christine through two wooden corridors, but other than robots, he didn't even encounter a living person.
Very abnormal!
Thinking of the possibility of a Hydra spy lurking in Karma Taj, Strange immediately pulled out the dragon tooth sword in his cloak and protected Christine behind him.
"Christine, close your eyes, grab my cloak and never let go."
Strange walked towards the main hall with his sword, and at the same time reminded: "Remember, no matter who you meet or what I say, you must not open your eyes or make a sound."
When Kristine heard this, she quickly closed her eyes tightly, holding the levitating cloak with both hands, her palms were sweating, and she didn't dare to say a word.
Strange walked slowly, the Eye of Agamotto on his chest lit up, and made sure there were no magic traps or portals around him. It took him a long time to reach the main hall square.
The magic sound penetrates my ears! Ghosts cry and wolves howl!
Strange could hear the sound of gongs and drums from afar. One of the instruments was so loud that it made the pores in his body almost explode.
It really exploded!
When Strange came to the square, he saw a scene that made him doubt his life.
I saw that the huge square was covered with white cloth strips, and ten large round tables were arranged on the left and right sides. The magicians of Kama Taj gathered around the tables, and on the stage in the middle, a theater troupe who came from nowhere was performing hard. .
??\\(′ω`)/????\\(′)/????\\(′ω`)/??~?
There was a bad dance on the stage, and the mages below the stage were drunk until they were unconscious. The cups and plates were in a mess, and the scene was very ugly.
Strange stood dumbfounded in front of the square, his eyes fixed on the main hall, and he saw a festive banner hanging on the main entrance.
The 2nd Supreme Mage’s First Seven Cup Singer Competition!
There was an old man with a white beard sitting upright next to him, holding a writing brush in his hand. There was a table card on the table that said 'Registration Office'.
Chinese, including the text on the banner, is all in Chinese.
Strange knows Chinese. Because of two generations of supreme mages and two generations of assistants to the supreme mages, the mages of Kama Taj are more or less proficient in Chinese.
What made Strange a little sad was that the red banner was dim in color and seemed to be old.
As for the word 'two', the color of the horizontal line below it is very new. If you look closely at the specifications, you can easily find that it was originally a 'one', which was traced by someone with a white marker.
Before it was over, Strange's eyes jumped over the banners. In the main hall, Strange saw flowers blooming, both white and yellow, small wooden signs, and black and white photo frames. The people in the photos looked very familiar.
??︽??
???-???
┬─────┬
If not Supreme Master Russell, who else could it be!
Strange: ∑(O_O;)
Christine: (/ω＼)
The former was caught in doubts about life and was stunned and at a loss. The latter closed his eyes tightly and ignored the demonic voice that penetrated his ears. He was very obedient and made no sound.
Strange stumbled around the stage and round table and came to the registration office. He found that the old man with white beard was Ding Yi, the former assistant to the Supreme Mage. He asked in a daze: "Ding, Master Yi Ding, what is going on? It's me. Did you go to the wrong place?"
Ding Yi put down his brush and stood up, with a somewhat unnatural and natural expression on his face, which was very contradictory.
"Master Strange, everyone already knows about Master Russell. I'm sorry."
Strange: "..."
As long as you are not blind, you can see it all!
"The former Supreme Mage, no, it was the former Supreme Mage Master Gu Yi who entrusted me with a dream and asked me to hold a farewell ceremony. The specific reason... I won't go into details. In short, this is a happy funeral, and it must be well organized. We can’t let Master Russell go away unhappy.”
At the end of the conversation, Ding Yi covered his face. He had retired, and his current assistant was Wang. He really didn't want to get involved in the troubles between the Supreme Masters, but Master Gu Yi was used to using him, and Tuo Meng also made a special trip to see him. .
Ding Yi couldn't find any reason to shirk, and because he couldn't control his hands and feet, he arranged the wedding and funeral.
Strange was heartbroken: "But...but, Master Russell did not leave peacefully!"
"Master Gu Yi said that Master Russell is not dead. He just changed his vest and continues to be cool. Just like him, he is alive and well, so there is no need to be sad."
Ding Yi continued to facepalm: "Master Gu Yi said a lot. To sum up, Master Russell got what he wanted. He is very happy, and everyone should be happy too. Also, he congratulates you for taking over the title of 'Supreme Master' , let you keep up the good work and never get carried away."
"Well, Master Ding Yi, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"Please say."
"Master Russell told me many things before he left, such as theater troupes, running water mats, black and white photos, wreaths... I don't want any of these, but now..."
Strange followed suit and covered his face: "He also said that if someone entrusts a dream and calls himself the Ancient One Mage, that person must be the Dimension Demon God in disguise."
"Then what?"
"Then Master Russell told that person to get lost, and asked me to help give that person a middle finger."
"That's unreasonable!"
Ding Yi patted the table, blew his beard and glared: "He can only send me off, but I can't send him off. What's the point?"
Strange: "..."
Who are you?
He secretly observed with the Eye of Agamotto and found that inside the old body of Master Ding Yi, there was a sparkling soul, which was exactly the same as the photo on the wall of Master Gu Yi.
Strange fell silent.
He didn't know if he should raise his middle finger. If he raised it, he would deceive his master and destroy his ancestors. If not, he would be sorry for Russell's spirit in heaven.
too difficult!
"Little Strange, you should know who I am, right?"
Ding Yi patted Strange on the shoulder: "A long time ago, I told Master Russell that you would become an excellent Supreme Mage. But now it seems that you are not even as good as him. I am very disappointed. "
Strange's facial features were distorted and he smiled forcefully: "Teacher, no, Master Ding Yi, I understand what you mean. All of these are the traditional customs of Kama Taj. The etiquette cannot be discarded, it is what it should be."
"anything else?"
Strange generally understood and smiled awkwardly: "And... today's wedding banquet was planned by me. It was all my idea. I asked Master Ding Yi to help organize it."
"That's right!"
Master Ding Yi stroked his beard and smiled happily. This is the quality that a mature mage should have.
The dimensional demons are insidious, cunning, and cruel. The Supreme Mage must be worse and more shameless than them. Otherwise, how can we protect the safety of the earth dimension?
Strange smiled apologetically and said, "Then what do you think I should do now?"
"There are two seats reserved for you over there. Today is a big day, so you must get drunk."
"oh!"
A big black pot hit his back, but the master didn't dare to disobey his orders. Strans had no choice but to sit on his seat in despair. When he looked at the table card, his face was filled with black lines again.
The third Sorcerer Supreme: Stephen Strange.
Strange was exhausted mentally and physically, holding his hand over his colic heart, and the rapid ripening caused him to become separated from his body.
"Kristen, it's okay. Open your eyes!"
Just when he picked up the chopsticks, he found Christine holding the levitation cloak and still closing her eyes tightly. He couldn't help but roll his eyes hard.
He pushed Kristine's eyelids away with both hands: "Nothing happened, it's safe. I've been busy all night. How about eating something first?"
Kristen looked around at Karma Taj and what she imagined...
This is no longer an imaginable picture!
"Stephen, the banner is in Chinese, right? What is it written on?"
"Don't ask too many questions when eating."
"oh!"
"..."
"By the way, where is the password for the wireless network?"
Strange put down his chopsticks, and the highly intelligent student thought of a possibility and hesitated: "Well, try HHHHLSSL..."
"What does it mean to try? Don't you know... Hey, I'm connected!"
"..."
