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

Chapter 695 Temple Crisis
"The best way to control excessive emotions is through meditation. If you need, I can find some magic books about meditation and mental defense for you to take back and study..."

After hearing about Scarlet Witch's situation, Wang offered advice enthusiastically, adding, "Of course, when the Sorcerer Supreme returns, I will also tell him about this lady's situation. I hope it will be helpful to you."

A friend of a friend is also a friend.

In addition, due to his personality, the king was very concerned about the Scarlet Witch.

"Thank you in advance. I'll bring more storybooks and CDs next time I come..." Mike replied with a smile.

Being around someone as straightforward as Wang is indeed a pleasant experience.

"No, no, no, you've given me enough gifts already... I mean, I helped this lady not for the gifts... Never mind, I'll help you find the books instead..."

Mike's enthusiasm left Wang somewhat at a loss. Unaccustomed to social niceties, he tried his best to explain his motives, but ultimately gave up.

Clearly, this is not his forte.

"It seems that wizards are not as annoying as I thought..." After Wang went to the bookshelf to work alone, Scarlet Witch's opinion of the wizards in Kamar-Taj changed a lot.

It can be said that the warm-hearted King and the dark-hearted Baron Mordo are two extremes.

In contrast, a king who is easygoing and kind-hearted is obviously more likable.

"Don't think about Baron Mordo anymore. His situation is just an isolated case in Kamar-Taj..." Mike said after refilling Scarlet Witch's tea. "What you need to do most right now is to keep calm... Here, have some more tea."

Scarlet Witch's surging chaotic power is like a powder keg, and the fuse is her uncontrollable negative emotions.

Therefore, maintaining a peaceful state of mind is essential for her.

"To be honest, the black tea here is too sweet." Scarlet Witch picked up her teacup, took a sip of the overly sweet black tea, and frowned slightly.

However, seeing the gentle smile on Mike's face, the girl suddenly felt inexplicably calmed down and said, "Like this, it doesn't seem so bad."

Just then, the sunlight outside the window parted the fog and shone into the library.

This adds a warm and inviting touch to the somewhat old library.

It can make you feel good without you even realizing it.

Just then, the defensive barrier above Kamar-Taj was activated, and golden magical energy rippled outwards.

Accompanied by a magical warning, faint noises could be heard outside the library.

"Danger warning! Someone's in trouble!"

With a nimbleness beyond his years, Wang jumped down from the bookshelf stool, his face grave. "I'm sorry," he said, "this isn't a common occurrence. I need to go see what happened..."

"Oh, right, these are the magic books you need. Please keep them safe."

After shoving several magic books into Mike's hands, Wang hurriedly ran out of the library.

Meanwhile, the magical warnings outside showed no signs of abating.

Clearly, the problem this time is quite significant.

“Let’s go take a look too!” Mike put the spellbook into his private space and then led Scarlet Witch outside.

The square in front was unusually lively now, compared to its previous quietness.

Besides a group of magic apprentices, some old wizards who had been living in seclusion in the rear living area all gathered here.

"What on earth is going on? Is someone planning to attack Kamar-Taj...?"

"It shouldn't be. With the defensive barrier set up by the Sorcerer Supreme, no place is safer than here..."

"Then how do you explain this now?..."

"..."

The magic apprentices, still only vaguely understanding magic and Kamar-Taj, were like frightened fledglings, loudly discussing and trying to figure out what was going on. Compared to them, the few older wizards were much calmer, though their faces also carried a hint of solemnity.

"It's a distress signal; a wizard is in mortal danger. We'll have to wait until Baron Mordo comes out to know the details..."

Seeing the panicked state of the group of magic apprentices in the square, an old wizard spoke up to calm them down.

However, the magic apprentices were clearly unable to feel at ease until they received a definite answer.

"Quiet down, look at the state of you all. Is this how I've always taught you?" Just then, Baron Mordo, who had gone to check the warning situation alone, walked out of a magical control room next to the square.

His already dark complexion turned serious upon seeing the immature appearance of the group of magic apprentices.

Of course, his appearance was also very effective.

The chattering magic apprentices instantly fell silent.

"It was a distress signal sent back by Strange from the London Temple..." After bringing the situation under control, Baron Mordo explained the situation to the old wizards.

"In other words, there's a big problem at the London Temple..." an old wizard said. "Where is the Sorcerer Supreme now? We must inform him of this situation first."

If it were just him in danger, the warning signals Strange sent back wouldn't have been so intense.

In this situation, it is clear that the entire London Temple is in big trouble.

As the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One held a position of unwavering stability in the hearts of all wizards.

It wasn't surprising that the old wizard mentioned him.

"The Sorcerer Supreme has gone to the void of the dimensional space, and we can't contact him for the time being..." Baron Mordo shook his head and said, "Moreover, the London Temple won't be able to wait until then. Now we can only rely on ourselves."

"Therefore, I plan to take some men to the London Temple immediately to check the situation; perhaps we can still save Strange in time."

Objectively speaking, Baron Mordo would not ignore Strange's distress warnings simply because he had once been jealous of him.

So he quickly selected three old wizards to go through the portal to support the London Temple.

"By the way, Your Majesty. We don't know anything about the enemy. So after I leave, I'll leave the security of the barrier around Kamar-Taj to you." Before leaving, Baron Mordo gave the king another task in the crowd.

It must be said that, aside from his personality issues, Baron Mordo's abilities are not bad.

At least in the event of an emergency, they can handle it in a reasonable and organized manner.

"Don't worry, I will protect Kamar-Taj." The king nodded seriously and accepted the mission.

Putting aside the fact that this is Wang's personality, now is not the time to shirk responsibility.

Over there, Baron Mordo, having arranged everything, gave the king a final look before hastily opening a portal to the London Temple and disappearing into Kamar-Taj with the three old wizards.

Meanwhile, after arranging for the remaining old wizards to reinforce the barrier, Wang approached Mike with a hint of something unsaid.

"Are you worried about Strange's safety?" Mike asked first.

“Yes, Strange is the most valued successor of the Sorcerer Supreme, and he is likely to take over the Sorcerer Supreme’s work to protect the world in the future. So he can’t afford to have any problems…” Wang expressed his concerns.

After Strange displayed his powerful magical talent, all the wizards could see that the Sorcerer Supreme treated him with special favor.

They were practically grooming him to be their successor.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Strange will become the next Sorcerer Supreme after the Ancient One retires.

Strange was assigned to the London Temple this time because the Ancient One wanted him to familiarize himself with the work of managing the Temple in advance.

“I understand what you mean. Strange is my friend too, isn’t he?” Now that they’d run into each other, Mike wasn’t going to stand idly by.

Then, under Wang's grateful gaze, Mike, accompanied by Scarlet Witch, stepped into the portal leading to the London Temple.
