Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 321 "Is this magic or a loan?!"

Strange was still tied to the pillar, but now he looked horrible. His face was covered with bruises and there were several obvious cat claw marks. There was blood at the corners of his mouth and several teeth were missing.

"Man, you really disappoint me."

Rango, who had just attacked the most ruthlessly, suddenly changed his expression and became heartbroken. He put his arm around Strange's shoulder, looking as if he was disappointed in him.

"Given our relationship, if you want to see the magic book, why don't you just tell me? We are both guardians of the earth, how can I not lend it to you?"

"I……"

"Hey, stop talking. I understand. You must feel sorry for me and want to compensate me with treasures and magic."

"but……"

"Don't worry, as long as the compensation is in place, we can write off this matter. What's the name of that thing that contains the Time Stone? Oh, yes, the Eye of Agamotto, I will return it to you when the time comes."

"."

Strange was in a dilemma. He looked at Rango who looked sincere, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said, "How about we just be friends? I'll return the Grimoire to you, and you return the Eye of Agamotto to me."

Rango was embarrassed when he heard it: "Brother, your fingerprints are all over the magic book. What use is it for you to give it to us now? Even if I agree, the magic book will not agree. That guy likes to be clean the most. Right, buddy?"

He nodded at the grimoire floating in the air, and the grimoire immediately shook as if nodding, then hit Strange hard several times with the corner of the book.

Strange looked at this group of Avengers who were smiling but each one was more ruthless than the other. He was silent for a long time and finally nodded in despair.

"I can teach you spells, but there are no treasures in Kamar-Taj, only some old magic books and contracts."

"No, I think your cloak is pretty good."

Rango raised his finger and scratched the magic cloak hiding behind Strange, raised his eyebrows and said, "This one is so shy and looks like a female. Is there a male?"

"My father-in-law's?"

Strange blinked in confusion. He had been the Sorcerer Supreme for so long, but he didn't even know that cloaks were divided into male and female.

"No? Well, forget it. I'll leave it to you. A gentleman doesn't take away what others like."

Rango smiled, then raised a finger towards Strange. In the shocked eyes of everyone, a blue light shot out, directly turning Strange, who was still a human being a second ago, into a yellow and white guinea pig.

"I'm sorry, I have to do this to prevent you from escaping. But don't worry, I will set you free once I learn your magic."

"Rango you..."

Strange raised his paw in horror and was about to beg for mercy when the sky suddenly darkened.

He looked up and saw a gold and blue cat rushing towards him with a wicked grin!
"Help!"

----------

"You can think of spells as the source code for building the real world."

"The wizard obtains energy from different dimensions of the universe. When he recites a spell, he can cast the energy into a shield or a weapon to cast a spell."

"Etc., etc"

Rango interrupted Strange, who was now a guinea pig, sitting on the opposite futon.

The little guy's fur was covered with Yumi's saliva, and he looked miserable, looking both embarrassed and helpless.

"You just said that mages get energy from dimensional space?" Rango asked puzzledly, "Then can I understand that mages themselves do not have any magic power, and the power they exert is all taken from dimensional space?"

"Well, it's not quite right to say it's a title."

Strange licked his paw unconsciously, and after hesitating for a moment, he answered honestly: "You can think of it as a supply and demand relationship. After all, these dimensional spaces have their owners. When we borrow their power, we also need to provide something in exchange."

"For example?" Rango asked curiously.

"Soul, limbs, health, lifespan... different dimensional masters have different needs. Generally speaking, if you borrow a power, you may need to repay it a hundred times."

"what?!"

Rango stood up suddenly, his eyes widened as he confirmed, "Doesn't that mean you can repay a hundred times the amount you borrowed? Are these guys lords or loan sharks?"

"If you think it's too expensive, you can borrow the power of white magic from the Trinity Vishanti. Although the power is a little smaller, it's relatively cost-effective to get two for one," Strange suggested.

However, Rango still shook his head in dissatisfaction. The interest rate was 100%, which was even more severe than the % interest rate used by unscrupulous loan sharks. How could he accept such a ridiculous condition?

"strangeness."

Rango looked at Strange in front of him and asked directly: "Your master, Ancient One, must have borrowed a lot of the power of the Lord of Dimensions. How could she live so long? And you, you know so many spells, have you repaid the principal with interest every time?"

Hearing this, Strange seemed a little embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and stammered, "Master Ancient One... she never returned the money she borrowed. Although I haven't heard her mention it, I feel that she may have some backers. Those dimensional demons didn't dare to look for her when they suffered losses. As for me..."

He pointed to the Eye of Agamotto that Yumi was wearing around her neck in the distance, and said frankly, "I usually use the Time Gem to harass the demons in the time loop, asking them to lend me energy for free. If they don't want to, I will harass them indefinitely in the time loop."

"."

Rango was silent. He realized that he had overestimated Strange's moral bottom line, as well as that of Ancient One.

It turns out that this master and disciple are not only mages, but also deadbeats.

At present, it seems that he has probably already been included in the blacklist of dishonest people by the lords of various dimensions.

"Actually, you don't have to worry." Strange suddenly said in a comforting tone: "Most debts of dimensional demons need to be repaid after death. Only a few greedy guys will ask the debtors to repay their debts while they are still alive."

Rango shrugged and responded with a smile: "Although your actions are not so glorious, it doesn't matter. I admire it. To deal with loan sharks, you should use some ruthless means."

".As long as you understand."

In order to demonstrate some spells, Strange regained his human form and performed all the spells he had mentioned before in front of Rango.

Including the so-called Red Ring of Gegador, the Wind of Vatum, the Holy Sword of Vishanti, the Scarlet Chain of Seratok, etc.

How should I put it? After seeing these fancy tricks, Rango's interest in magic instantly decreased a lot.

The so-called Red Ring of Gegador is nothing more than two small handheld magic shields. Rango doesn't even need to wear gloves and can easily smash them with one punch.

The Wind of Watum is even more disappointing. In short, it is a protective shield with a wide range but insufficient strength. It sounds good, but it is completely vulnerable to Rango's punch.

As for the Holy Sword, the Scarlet Chain, the Seraphim Shield... there is no need to mention them, they can't withstand a single attack from Rango.

But in addition to these familiar tricks, Doctor Strange still has some practical skills. For example, the form of Iken can transform into countless entities, the ancient body of Hogs that can decompose and transform matter, and the mirror dimension that will not affect the real world no matter how it is destroyed.

These three spells are indeed good things. Rango was jealous just by looking at them.

Strange was a little surprised. These spells could only be considered auxiliary spells. He thought that Rango would prefer offensive spells, but he didn't expect that the other party would value these.

"So which one are you going to learn first?" Strange asked curiously.

"The mirror dimension."

Rango was eager to learn this move.

As long as he learns this move, he can use atomic fist without any scruples even in the city center with the heaviest traffic.

Strange nodded, pulled a dangling ring out of his pocket and handed it to Rango.

"You need to use the Suspension Ring to enter and exit the mirror dimension. If you want to master this move, you must first learn how to use the Suspension Ring."

"is it?"

Rango took the ring and looked at it for a few seconds. It looked like a brass knuckles, but the difference was that it could only fit two fingers.

Although this prerequisite may be a bit troublesome, Rango is very satisfied. After all, learning how to use the portal is one of the purposes of his visit this time.

"One of the lessons that Kamar-Taj's wizards must learn when they first enter the sect is how to use the hanging ring."

Strange looked at the hanging ring in his hand and couldn't help but smile, as if he remembered the scene when he first joined Kamar-Taj and was thrown to Mount Everest by the Ancient One and forced to use the hanging ring to open the portal.

"Focus your attention and have a clear picture of your destination in your mind."

In order to demonstrate to Rango, Strange very programmatically placed his left hand with the ring dangling in front of him, and then slowly drew circles with his right hand fingers in the direction of the ring.

Golden light burst out and flashed in the air like electric sparks. As his fingers slid, a golden portal suddenly appeared.

Inside the door, Quicksilver, who was using super speed to help Rango frantically photograph all the magic books in Kamar-Taj's library, was stunned and involuntarily stopped what he was doing.

"Why are you here?" Strange asked in shock, pointing at Quicksilver.

"Hey, don't worry about these details."

Rango put his arm around Strange's shoulders, pulled him to the other side, and changed the subject by asking, "In other words, as long as you think about the scene on the other side, you can open a portal to that side, right? No matter how far it is?"

Strange glared at Quicksilver who was stealing while he wasn't paying attention.

He wanted to persuade Rango not to shoot those magic books, but when he thought of the scene where the other party smashed the red ring of Gegador with a simple punch, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he could only explain honestly:

"In theory, it is true. Even if we want to travel to other universes, we can use the hanging ring to open a portal. However, this is quite demanding. After all, none of us knows what other universes look like, and we lack a clear memory anchor."

"Tsk, tsk, it's amazing that you can travel freely between universes. Man, I think you have put the cart before the horse. Obviously, this portal is the most powerful spell of your wizard."

After Rango finished speaking, he imitated Strange's demonstration, holding up his left hand with the ring on it, and gesturing in the air with his right hand.

"Teddy.Teddy"

Rango concentrated on imagining what Teddy would look like, even outlining the cotton in its stomach in great detail.

But after he gestured for a long time, not only could he not create a portal, but not even a trace of golden flame could appear.

"You have to concentrate all your attention on imagining the scene on the other side of the portal," Strange reminded.

"Believe me, I can imagine every hair on it clearly!" Rango's expression looked as if he was constipated. He spun his right hand in the air vigorously, but there was still no response.

Seeing this, Strange suggested, "Why don't you think of a place closer, like the yard outside."

Rango closed his eyes and nodded, the scene of Kamar-Taj courtyard clearly emerged in his mind: earth walls, red bricks, falling snow, wooden racks with weapons, and three-story towers...

However, no matter how fast his fingers moved, there was still no abnormality in the air.

Strange pursed his lips, glanced at Rango, shrugged and said, "It seems that you may not have any magical talent. Otherwise, let's not practice this trick?"

"No!" Rango refused without hesitation.

The little fat guy who followed Spider-Man in the movie could use the hanging ring to open the portal to the parallel universe at will. How could I, a superhero who has saved the world countless times, not be able to open the door even once?

Since he couldn't successfully open the portal either from far or near, Rango decided to choose a moderate target.

The figures of familiar friends in this world flashed quickly in his mind, and his fingers kept drawing circles forward.

"Nick Fury Steve Thorhalla"

As Rango muttered, a faint blue light suddenly emerged in his hand, and the blue fist that had accompanied him in eliminating demons and defending the way for many years appeared naturally.

Then, under Strange's shocked gaze, strands of bright blue sparks slowly condensed in front of Rango, and then, an elliptical portal instantly appeared!

However, the scene that appeared inside the portal surprised them all - there was a woman taking a bath with her bare buttocks!
"Um?!"

The next second, three pairs of eyes widened, filled with astonishment and embarrassment.

Hela, who was bathing, was the first to react. She hurriedly pulled up the towel to cover her chest and shouted angrily, "Shameless bastard! How dare you use magic to spy on me bathing?!"

Hela raised her hand and threw a spear condensed from the power of death towards Rango and Strange on the other side of the portal!
boom--!
Rango quickly closed the portal, and the spear that had just been sticking out was instantly cut into two halves, with the broken ends left at the feet of the two men.

"Wow, that was thrilling."

Strange patted his chest with lingering fear. Although he didn't know the woman, the powerful aura made his scalp tingle at just one glance.

As for Rango, he laughed with satisfaction. It turned out that it was not that he had no talent for magic, but that he needed to use the power of the blue fist to control magic.

He danced with excitement, constantly urging his Blue Fist and using his Suspended Ring to open portals one after another.

In Asgard, Thor was carefully gluing the fragments of Mjolnir together. When the last piece was about to be successfully glued together, a hand suddenly appeared in the air and slapped the hammer that he had finally glued together into pieces.

In Africa, Dr. Banner, transformed into the Hulk, was wreaking havoc in a warlord base. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind, grabbed his shorts and pulled them to the limit. Then, as the hand was let go, the shorts suddenly rebounded and hit his butt hard.

In Los Angeles, Black Widow, who had just finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed, opened the drawer and took out a purple mood. She bent her legs and was about to relax when she suddenly felt a chill under her body.

When she looked down, she saw Rango staring at her with wide eyes in shock.
"you"

Before he could finish his words, the portal disappeared without a trace.
