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

Chapter 694 Seeking help
Compared to the sweltering Apple City, Kamar-Taj, nestled atop the Himalayas, exudes a coolness even in the summer air.

Unlike the lively scenes that Mike had witnessed on his previous visits, this place was unusually quiet at this moment.

Only in the square, a new group of magic apprentices were learning basic magic from Baron Mordo, facing the morning mist.

As for the formal wizards who originally lived in the rear, they had all disappeared without a trace.

There's a high chance they went out on a mission.

Yes, the wizards in Kamar-Taj, besides needing to learn magic, are actually not idle most of the time.

They need to go to the three great temples every now and then to reinforce the magical barriers there.

This was to prevent the dimensional demon Dormammu, who lurks in the dark dimension, from invading the world.

"Mordo, where did the Ancient One go?" Mike, who couldn't sense the location of the Sorcerer Supreme, went to the plaza to ask Baron Mordo.

"The Sorcerer Supreme has taken a group out on a mission. What do you want with him?" Baron Mordo stared at Mike, who had arrived with a woman, his attitude not exactly friendly.

Baron Mordo is petty and, in addition to being somewhat gloomy, also has an extremely strong sense of jealousy.

He deliberately provoked trouble earlier because he was jealous of Mike's magical talent.

Similarly, after Strange displayed his powerful magical talent, he was intensely jealous for a time.

Of course, those were more like arguments based on personal feelings.

Overall, Baron Mordo, aside from his extreme personality, is not a truly bad person.

This is also why he was able to become friends with Strange later on.

However, Baron Mordo was torn between his feelings of inferiority and his persistent jealousy when faced with Mike, a "gifted monster."

The two had met several times, but their relationship was never considered close.

"Out and about? That's really unfortunate." Mike brought Scarlet Witch with him this time, hoping to use the White Magic Tome in the Ancient One's possession to suppress the demonic energy of the Dark Tome on the girl.

Even if that doesn't work, we can settle for second best and have Scarlet Witch learn some mental magic from the Ancient One.

Used to resolve the hidden dangers of the Dark Book.

However, judging from the situation, the two of them came at a very bad time, as the Ancient One was not at home.

Because this incident involved the Scarlet Witch's secrets, Mike had no intention of explaining it to Baron Mordo.

"Where's Strange? I haven't seen him anywhere," Mike continued.

Since he was already there, and hadn't seen the Ancient One, Mike decided to catch up with his wizard friend.

“Strange left Kamar-Taj several days ago, and I don’t know where he went.” Baron Mordo shook his head again and said, “Also, I’m not your butler and have no obligation to answer any of your questions.”

Clearly, Baron Mordo was getting annoyed by Mike's barrage of questions.

“OK, see you later.” Mike wasn’t surprised by Baron Mordo’s attitude.

The two were never friends.

After a light farewell, Mike led Scarlet Witch toward the back of Kamar-Taj.

"Stop right there, where are you going?" Baron Mordo, annoyed at being ignored, retaliated again.

“Have you forgotten what you said before? I have no obligation to answer any of your questions either.” Mike turned around and smiled, “Of course, if you really want to know the answer, I can tell you.”

“I plan to take Wanda to Kamar-Taj and introduce her to the King at the same time.”

"So, can we leave now?"

In Kamar-Taj, besides having a good relationship with Strange, Mike is also friends with the librarian Wong.

Therefore, I plan to take Scarlet Witch to visit some friends.

Moreover, Kamar-Taj's unique geographical location and tranquil living environment make it well worth a visit.

This will be a good way for the witch to relax.

"You, you guys..." Baron Mordo, having been rebuffed, could only watch helplessly as Mike and Scarlet Witch left.

Although Mike is not a wizard in Kamar-Taj, his permission to pass through the area was granted by the Sorcerer Supreme himself.

Therefore, even if Baron Mordo was unwilling, he had no legitimate reason to stop the other party.

“Did you hear? That man was praised by the Sorcerer Supreme as one of the most magically talented people ever known…” “I know, that Mr. Mike repelled an alien invasion. I heard his magical talent surpasses even Strange’s…”

"If he's willing to stay in Kamar-Taj, he could very well be the next Sorcerer Supreme..."

"..."

Mike's title of "Guardian" is not low, at least not lower than that of a superhero like Captain America.

Moreover, although he did not visit Kamar-Taj often, his legend still circulates there because of the High Priest's high regard for him.

The newly arrived group of magic apprentices were full of dreams for the future, and they were naturally very excited to meet Mike, this "legendary" figure.

Even after Mike left, the magic apprentices were still talking about his deeds.

His tone was full of admiration.

"Shut up, all of you! Have you learned everything I've taught you?" However, the murmurings of the magic apprentices enraged Baron Mordo.

He sternly rebuked, "If anyone fails to condense magic power today, they won't get lunch."

Baron Mordo's face was already dark, and when he got angry, he was even more terrifying than the headmaster.

Under this imposing aura, the young magic apprentices could only suppress their grumbling and obediently begin practicing magic.

Meanwhile, after giving Scarlet Witch a brief tour of Kamar-Taj, Mike headed towards the library.

“That Baron Mordo seems to have quite a problem with you,” Scarlet Witch suddenly said.

A red light flashed in his eyes.

This indicates that she has developed a dissatisfaction with Baron Mordo.

“Keep a calm mind, Wanda. I’m not America, I don’t need everyone to like me,” Mike reassured Scarlet Witch.

As the chaotic power within the girl grows stronger, her thinking will unconsciously drift towards extremes.

Anything that upsets her can trigger her emotions.

This is not a good sign.

Therefore, Mike became even more determined to seek help from the Ancient One.

"I told you something good would happen today." With a knock, Wang opened the door to find Mike there, smiling, and said, "Welcome, Mike. Would you like some tea?"

Wang, who spends most of his time in the library, is a bit aloof, but he is quite shrewd and worldly-wise at times.

Especially after Mike gave him many storybooks and rare CDs.

The two have become very good friends.

"Very good black tea~"

In the library, Mike took a sip of sweetened black tea and immediately exclaimed in admiration.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Wang, he asked, "Wang, do you know when the Ancient One Mage will be able to return?"

“That might take a while, I can’t say for sure…” Wang thought for a moment, then asked, “Do you have something urgent to discuss with the Supreme Master?”

The Sorcerer Supreme's job is to protect the world from the corruption of demons from the other dimensions. Therefore, he often goes to the Void to cleanse the newly emerging hordes of demons there.

To prevent the demons from invading the world.

Therefore, the time of return is very uncertain.

If all goes well, I might be back in a few days. If things don't go well, then it's hard to say.

Wang asked the question in return, also out of concern that Mike might have some urgent matter that would delay him.

“It’s not in a huge rush, but there’s a small problem that requires the help of the Ancient One…” Mike then told Wang about part of Scarlet Witch’s condition.

Unlike Baron Mordo, the king was not a talkative person.

Moreover, given their relationship, Mike wouldn't mind giving him a heads-up.
