American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 658 Kama Taj
"Sir traveler, may I ask what your purpose is in coming here?"

In the general store in front of the New York Temple, the Ancient One, dressed in a yellow robe, stared intently at Mike, who was flying in from a distance.

Clearly, this supreme sorcerer who protects Earth has been secretly monitoring Thanos's army, while also keeping an eye on Mike, this visitor from another world.

“Like I said, I’m a traveler. I’m here simply for tourism.” Mike reiterated his identity, indicating that he meant no harm.

[Astral Projection (Characteristic)]...[Energy Control (Characteristic)]...[Energy Manipulation (Characteristic)]...[Interdimensional Teleportation (Characteristic)]...

[Mental Ability (Trait)]...[Dark Energy Drain (Trait)]...

[Time Travel (Special Feature)]... [Time Manipulation (Special Feature)]... [Future Foresight (Special Feature)]... [Causal Intervention (Special Feature)]...

[Magic Energy +300E]...[Time Energy +200E]...

While the Ancient One was observing Mike, Mike also obtained many special orbs from the Ancient One and the Time Stone.

In particular, the abilities of [Astral Projection] and [Cross-Dimensional Teleportation] are unique. One allows one to separate one's own or another's soul from their body, while the other allows one to create a mirror space under one's control.

These two abilities may not be the strongest, but either one is incredibly cool to use.

It suits Mike's style perfectly...

Meanwhile, after gathering the energy of the three Infinity Stones, as well as the energy from Thanos and the Sorcerer Supreme, Mike's total energy finally surpassed the 100 billion mark.

The life level has also increased from Creation Level 3 to Creation Level 4.

With the breakthrough of the minor bottleneck at the Genesis level, Mike's strength has finally entered the ranks of dimensional powerhouses.

They now have the confidence to fight against the strongest in every dimension.

At the same time, the Ancient One also sensed the powerful aura emanating from Mike due to his leap in life level.

“If you’re just here for tourism, I welcome you on behalf of Kamar-Taj and the three sanctuaries…” Although the Ancient One wasn’t as afraid of Mike as Thanos was, she still showed due respect to those who were no weaker than herself.

He then said, "No matter what problems you encounter in the future, you can contact me through the three great temples. I'm happy to help if it harms the interests of this planet."

As an outsider, Mike's past and future were not something the Ancient One could see through the Space Stone.

Gu Yi naturally needs to treat this unstable factor with caution.

The saying goes: "Courtesy first, then force..."

Before Mike showed any obvious malice, he was also someone the Ancient One should befriend.

Meanwhile, the Ancient One, still busy with many things, opened a circular portal to leave after expressing her goodwill.

“Wait, could you take me to Kamar-Taj? I’m quite interested in your magical abilities…” Mike called out to the Ancient One just in time.

The mages in this plane are all considered extraordinary beings.

Kamar-Taj, where they gathered, was a great place for Mike to get some freebies, so he couldn't miss it.

Gu Yi was surprised that Mike would make the request so quickly.

However, sensing no malice from the other party, he nodded slightly and said, "Come with me."

……

"Who's that? He's really handsome. Could he be a new recruit like us...?"

"It shouldn't be, the period for Kamar-Taj's student recruitment has already passed..."

"Besides, he doesn't look like he's here to be a trainee..."

"..."

At this time, a new batch of magic apprentices gathered in Kamar-Taj Square, located in the Himalayas.

The arrival of the Sorcerer Supreme and the stranger Mike quickly caught their attention.

"Quiet. To become a mage, you must learn to concentrate and control your magic with your mind..."

Karl Mordo, as the instructor of the new cadets, was also curious as to why the Sorcerer Supreme had brought back a stranger for no apparent reason.

But before that, he had fulfilled his duties as a teacher very well.

The magic apprentices quickly regained their focus under Baron Mordo's oppressive atmosphere, which resembled that of a headmaster, and began to seriously study basic magic.

"Magic is very mysterious, composed of mental strength, willpower, and other factors. Using magic is to condense these forces into a stable state..."

Seeing that Mike seemed quite interested in magic, the Ancient One gave a brief explanation of the principles of magic, then called out to Baron Mordo, who was standing not far away, "Mordo, come here for a second."

“This is my guest, Mr. Mike the traveler. He may be staying in Kamar-Taj for a while. Please demonstrate the structure of magic for him.”

The magic in Kamar-Taj is not a big secret, and the Ancient One is not a conservative old-fashioned person.

Therefore, those who are "destined" for magic can come here to learn magic.

Mike is now clearly the one destined for us.

"To learn, you must first understand your own true nature, and then concentrate your will into magic..."

After seeing Mike's youthful appearance, Mordo assumed he was a "connected" student who had come to learn magic, and so he began to lecture him in a rigid manner: "Like this, first condense the magic into a line, and then spread the line into a surface..."

The orange-red magic unfolded, then transformed into various complex geometric images.

"That's enough for now. Try it yourself. Once you can condense magic power, come back to me to learn more profound ways to use magic." After briefly demonstrating his magic power, Baron Mordo stopped and stood aside.

Their attitude wasn't very friendly.

It's clear that he has some reservations about Mike, who is a "nepotism hire".

[Energy Manipulation (Trait)]...[Telepathy (Trait)]...[Phantom Clone (Trait)]...[Summon Demon (Trait)]...

[Magic Energy +8000 million]... [Dark Energy +6000 million]...

"No need for that trouble. I've already grasped the basics of magic." Having collected a large number of characteristic orbs again, Mike had no interest in wasting time with Mordo.

Then he stretched out his hands and instantly condensed a pure white line, different from the orange-red magic.

Then, just as Mordo had demonstrated before, the pure white line transformed into various complex geometric shapes.

Finally, it was even innovated and bent into a giant light shield, protecting Mike.

The dazzling scene instantly drew gasps of amazement from the magic apprentices nearby.

Strange, who was still unable to condense magic in the crowd, had an expression of envy that was almost overflowing on his face.

As for Mike, he is a man of many talents and already possesses the power of holy light.

Once you understand the basic principles of magic, you'll naturally be able to pull off many amazing tricks.

"A very stable magic structure..."

Unlike the narrow-mindedness of a magic apprentice, the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, could better appreciate Mike's talent in spellcasting.

When other mages cast spells, orange-red sparks fly everywhere, which is a sign of an unstable magical structure.

The pure white magic that Mike unleashed had edges as smooth as polished glass.

This means he has very strong control over magic.

At least, with the same magical energy, the magic Mike casts will be more powerful. "If you are interested in magic, the doors of Kamar-Taj are always open to you." Out of appreciation for Mike's talent, the Ancient One made this promise after praising his magical abilities.

"Thank you for your generosity~" Mike withdrew his magic, smiled and nodded.

Sincerity is mutual. After the Ancient One showed enough goodwill, Mike naturally wouldn't keep a cold face.

Even the promise from the Supreme Master was of little use to him.

Yes, Mike, who got the Sorcerer Supreme and Mordo's wool, has now learned almost all the common magic in Kamar-Taj.

“Alright, Mordo. You can continue teaching. Next, I need to arrange accommodation for Mr. Mike.” The Ancient One woke Mordo from his daze.

"Please go ahead," Mo Du said, bowing and retreating as he came to his senses.

Before leaving, he glanced at Mike, seemingly unintentionally, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

As is well known, in Kamar-Taj, apart from the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, other sorcerers need to use a slingshot to assist them when using magic.

Mordo deliberately didn't tell Mike this beforehand, wanting to see this "connected person" make a fool of himself.

Unexpectedly, Mike's magical talent was so powerful.

So powerful that it aroused Mordo's jealousy.

“Please come with me, I’ll show you where we’re staying. It might be a bit basic for you…” Unaware of Mordo’s sinister intentions, the Ancient One led Mike away from the plaza and headed back.

Kamar-Taj can be considered a cradle for training mages, and perhaps to hone the will of magic apprentices, the living facilities here are quite rudimentary.

Apart from the ornate library, most of the houses in the residential area are small, single-story wooden structures.

Chopping wood... Carrying water... Honing martial arts skills...

The monks living here also lead ascetic lives.

"Could you take me to the library first?" Mike was naturally not interested in this semi-primitive lifestyle.

After all, he didn't come here specifically to suffer...

Besides, in Kamar-Taj, apart from various forms of magic, the only thing that could attract Mike is the self-contained system of magical knowledge that exists here.

For Mike, who possesses the power to transform, knowledge also means power.

“No problem~” Kamar-Taj’s magic was open to Mike, so the Ancient One certainly wouldn’t refuse his request to go to the library.

So, after greeting the formal sorcerers along the way, the Ancient One led Mike in a circle and arrived at the relatively magnificent library.

“The current librarian, Wang, is a very learned mage. You can ask him for advice on any magical matters you don’t understand…” As they arrived at the library, the Ancient One introduced the place to Mike while gently knocking on the library door.

However, even after the Ancient One finished explaining the situation in the library, the door in front of her still hadn't opened.

“Wang is a very studious person, and he might be immersed in the ocean of knowledge right now. Let’s go in and find him.” Gu Yi, who hadn’t knocked on the door, looked a little embarrassed, and then pushed the door open and entered the library.

The slightly dimly lit library was filled with bookshelves of all sizes.

Rows of books were neatly arranged on it.

At the desk by the window, a robust mage was leisurely reclining in a chair.

He looked like he was really enjoying it...

"Your Majesty, we have a guest!" Gu Yi called out as she stepped forward.

However, just like before, there was no response when they knocked on the door.

"Wang~" Gu Yi had no choice but to step forward again and pat the other person on the shoulder.

"W-what?..." Wang was suddenly woken up, and with a jolt, he almost overturned the desk in front of him.

At the same time, the earphones were also shaken off their ears.

Instantly, rhythmic rock music filled the entire library.

It turns out that Wang wasn't immersed in books before, but rather enjoying music.

"Supreme Master, what brings you here?" Upon discovering that the visitor was Gu Yi, Wang felt as if he had been caught slacking off at work by his boss.

I quietly turned off the music and tidied my clothes.

In no time at all, he returned to his solemn demeanor.

“I’ve brought you a guest this time.” Gu Yi, seemingly having forgotten the previous awkwardness, introduced, “This is Mr. Mike, who has great magical talent. The library will be open to him from now on.”

“Hello, Mr. Mike, I am Wang. Please tell me what book you would like to read. I am very familiar with this place…” Since he was brought by the Sorcerer Supreme himself, Wang was very friendly.

"Hello, Wang. I hope we can work together in the future." Not wanting to offend someone who's smiling, Mike shook hands with him.

To be honest, although Wang looks tall and big, he gives people a very gentle feeling.

He's a very easy person to get along with.

"Now that you've met, Mr. Mike's accommodation is in your hands." The Ancient One, who needs to constantly resist the invasion of the Dark Dimension, is actually quite busy.

After handing Mike over to the Queen, he left the library through a teleportation portal.

"Uh, what kind of books do you want to read? I'll find them for you. Or you can have some black tea first..." When he was alone, Wang seemed a little "shy".

This doesn't match his strong physique at all.

However, this contrast is not unpleasant.

"Then let's take a break and have some black tea~" Mike smiled and sat down in another rocking chair next to him.

His posture appeared extremely relaxed.

"This is tea that I managed to get from out of town. It tastes really good, you should try it..."

Perhaps influenced by Mike, Wang quickly relaxed and then skillfully brewed two cups of black tea.

"By the way, do you want some dessert? I have some mooncakes here."

Although the king was not a Chinese, his ancestors were Chinese monks, so he could be considered half a Chinese.

He unconsciously carries some Chinese elements in his clothes.

"Want to listen to some music? I have the latest rock music here..."

After tasting black tea and eating mooncakes, as the two gradually became more familiar with each other, Wang's expression became more and more natural.

Leaning back in his chair, he seemed to have returned to the same lazy, unambitious person he was at the beginning.

……

Over the next few days, Mike used his exceptional reading skills to read almost every book in the library.

When I'm bored, I'll go outside for a stroll, chat with the official monks here, or check on the learning progress of the monk apprentices.

Life was exceptionally leisurely...

At the same time, he also gained a large number of special light orbs and energy values ​​from the king and other mages.
