In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 399: Ancient One is dead! This is really good... very bad, very bad bad news!

"Listen, Steve, you and Bucky are close comrades, but so is Tony. He is also the orphan of your old friend Howard. The shield you use was also made by Howard. As your boss and Tony's friend, I naturally don't want you to break up. That would be difficult to resolve, and it would not be a good thing for me, so..."

“I won’t do anything that crosses my line.”

"It's okay. I didn't intend for you to do those things."

So there really is something that crosses my bottom line, right?
A hint of hesitation flashed across Steve's face:
"That...that kind of thing is not allowed either."

"whats the matter?"

"I heard from others that you said I have the prettiest butt in SHIELD, even Natasha's is not as prettier as mine."

There were several black lines on Qingshui's forehead.

"But I'm telling the truth. There's really no one in SHIELD with a better butt than yours. Also, I'm not interested in your butt. I like beautiful women, not men, and certainly not any random gender."

"That's good. I heard that you rich people like to spend a lot of money. I hope you're not that kind of person."

Steve breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's normal to spend a lot of money. Tony and I both spend a lot of money. There are few rich people who don't spend a lot of money. But it doesn't mean that we are abnormal.

In short, don't follow Nick Fury's little tricks and just do what you have to do."

"He did come to me and basically talked about work matters, but there were some other things as well."

"Hmm? What?"

"About you, um... I'm not sure if it's a bad thing or a good thing. He said you're a scheming conspirator who's very good at hiding your ambitions. You'll bring good things to S.H.I.E.L.D., making it stronger and making more contributions. But he's also worried that your ambitions will lead S.H.I.E.L.D. into an irreversible situation, bringing greater harm to the world, and becoming a greater threat than the Red Skull.

So I hope I can tell him what I am doing and let him supervise you as a backup."

Steve recalled and said seriously.

Damn, bastard.

Talking bad about your boss behind his back, right?

"Did you tell him then?"

"No, I don't believe him."

Steve said seriously, adding silently in his heart.

I don't believe you either.

You people have very dirty hearts.

I can really trust you in many cases, especially on the battlefield.

But on other occasions, he did not dare to trust everything unconditionally.

Nick Fury has already proven this with his own actions.

The fact that Nick Fury is so afraid of you and you still keep him under control after becoming the director shows that you are not a good person either.

Bucky is better.

Unfortunately, Bucky is now...

Ugh!
"Nick will come to your place for support tomorrow. Remember to tell him a message for me."

"What?"

"You bastard, you are so capable, why am I the director now and not you?"

"For the sake of internal harmony of the team during the mission, I suggest you speak on your own."

"That's fine, but remember to tell him my other words."

"Ok?"

"Starting tomorrow, I will check the funds allocated to Shadow Shield."

Qingshui didn't believe that Heiludan didn't take some of the money to build a secret base and develop non-staff personnel hidden in the dark.

"Okay, I'll pass it on."

"Okay, let's do this for now. Your current authority level is level eight, and you can apply to visit the highest-security prison once a week. I will approve your application. If you can be promoted to level nine, the number of visits will also increase. Maybe you can even bring something to Bucky to improve his living conditions."

"I will work hard."

"Okay, I'll hang up first. Remember to lead the team to carry out this mission well. If an accident cannot be avoided, you must do your best to protect the old king of Wakanda and make them owe you a favor."

Qingshui smiled slightly and hung up the call.

With Bucky here, there is no need to worry that you, Steve Rogers, will not do your job well.

Qingshui, who was planning to continue working and try to master the nanotechnology shared by Stark as soon as possible, received another good news an hour after this phone call.

No, it's good-bad-good-bad news.

Ancient One is dead!

Glad...but what a pity!
What a pity! What a pity!

What a pity and sad!

How could the great Supreme Sorcerer die so easily?
Isn't this too cheap...

It’s too cheap for those evil wizards!
Qingshui slapped the table, imitating the evil wizards' smiling faces when they heard the news.

It’s hard to say that neither of him nor Gu Yi owed the other anything, and in fact Gu Yi helped him more.

But official business is official business, and private business is private business. Many times, no matter what Gu Yi said or did, it always made him angry.

He will take up the burden of being the Sorcerer Supreme in the future and do those things that Ancient One truly wants him to do.

But on the other hand, he had to do things that Gu Yi didn't want him to do.

He also had to be angry with Gu Yi.

Ancient One died not long ago.

This morning when Wang went to call Gu Yi for breakfast, he found that Gu Yi had passed away in his sleep.

Because he was still worried that Ancient One had used magic to cause his soul to leave his body and cause his body to fall into temporary sleep, Wang waited for a while. After using magic to monitor and finding that the activity of brain cells had decreased significantly, he used the necromancy spell to contact Ancient One's spirit.

He is indeed dead, and his spirit will leave this world after the seventh day.

Specifically leaving on the seventh day?

Are you still on guard against me? Lao Deng!

but it does not matter.

Wouldn't it be more fun and exciting if the husband did that now?

"Jorge! Where's that bottle of onion concentrate I prepared a few months ago? Where is it? Help me find it."

Qingshui hurriedly found the onion concentrate and after opening it, a pungent onion smell came out.

His eyes suddenly turned red.

Mmm, this taste is quite stimulating!

Tears were already brewing.

Use your finger to apply a small amount and apply it to your cheeks slightly below your eyes, further away from your eyes, to make it look like unwiped tears.

This way the effect is better and longer lasting!

Well, cast another spell to cover up the smell by 90 percent, so it won't be easily discovered.

set off!

The teleportation aperture quietly opened in the study.

……

……

Himalayas, Kamataki.

Under the cover of light gray clouds, Wang was dressed in mourning with a heavy expression. He walked slowly forward holding Gu Yi's brass incense burner and black-and-white photo and placed them on the mourning hall.

The burning cedar sawdust and paper money in the brazier flickered in the cold wind.

Strange, who had just joined the sect, stood behind the crowd and sniffed.

Why does it feel like... there is a faint smell of onions?
Is it an illusion?

Then, Strange saw his immediate superior, the current Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., appearing at the entrance of the courtyard gate not far behind him, his eyes red and his expression sad. "Master Walter!"

"Master Watt, you are here!"

"We are all waiting for you."

"Master Watt, Master Ancient One..."

Seeing Qingshui, many mages turned around and greeted Qingshui.

He still holds a very high position in Kamartaki.

It was all achieved through fighting.

In recent years, he has dealt with all the troubles that used to require Gu Yi's personal intervention to solve.

Everyone also knows that he will be the next Sorcerer Supreme after Ancient One.

He was so powerful that he solved many troubles in the later years of the current Supreme Sorcerer. He also brought rune tools that could replace the cost of some mages' spellcasting. He even invested money to renovate Kamar-Taki's dormitories and improve the food in Kamar-Taki's cafeteria.

No one would deny that Master Walter has the ability to serve as the Supreme Sorcerer, not even Wang and Mordo.

They are just better than you in every aspect.

"Master Liu."

"Master Hamill."

……

Qingshui nodded slightly at the group of mages, talked to them for a few words, and built up his emotions.

Well, I can’t come up with one.

Qingshui had to try hard to control the muscles on his face, making his expression look a little sadder. He slowly walked towards the coffin in the mourning hall, sniffed, and inhaled more of the onion smell.

This taste...

I can’t hold it in any longer!

"Master Ancient One!!!"

The cry was loud.

Qingshui fell in front of the coffin and continued to rub her eye sockets with her fingers stained with residual onion liquid, her voice filled with tears.

The stimulated tears left two shiny streaks on the cheekbones, which together with the deliberately messy hair on the forehead formed a picture of broken grief.

Those who see it are sad, and those who hear it cry.

Everyone present was filled with admiration.

Master Walter and Master Ancient One, the relationship between these two generations of Supreme Sorcerers is really good!
In the mourning hall, Gu Yi in the black and white photo had a kind smile on his face, as if he was watching everything that happened here.

"You said that you would teach me the time and space secrets of Master Agamotto, and you also promised to travel to the astral world with me to visit the supreme wizards of other universes..."

In the black and white photo, Gu Yi still had a kind smile on his face, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Did I promise this?

It seems that there is...

As we age, it's normal to be a little forgetful sometimes.

"You also promised to hand over all the magic and treasures you have treasured for hundreds of years to me, but why did you leave without saying a word today?

But don't worry, I will not disappoint you and will apply these things in the right way!"

No, I didn’t agree to this?
A certain spirit wanted to revive itself and raised questions.

But it doesn't matter. He had squandered all those treasures in his later years. What's left are things that I, an old man, don't like. If you want the junks, I'll just give them to you.

Wang reached out to support Qingshui, and Modu also stepped forward and handed him a handkerchief.

He found that the more Master Water wiped away his tears, the more tears he cried.

Alas, they have such a good relationship with Master Ancient One. Unlike me, although I felt very sad, I just shed a few tears and my eyes turned red, and then I couldn't cry anymore.

This is what we call true love!
"Master Watt, please cheer up. Kamar-Taiki will still need you as the new Supreme Sorcerer to lead us in protecting the Earth."

Modu said earnestly.

At this time, Wang also took out the Eye of Agamotto containing the Time Stone from his pocket and gave it to Qingshui.

"The coronation ceremony of the Supreme Sorcerer will begin soon. I hope you can become proficient in using the Eye of Agamotto as soon as possible."

Shimizu took the Eye of Agamotto with both hands and hung it around his neck.

Well, the Eye of Agamotto and the Eye of Watt are a perfect match, they look similar. Isn't it destined by heaven that this treasure will fall into my hands?
"Wang, Mordo, don't worry, I will definitely inherit Master Gu Yi's legacy and fulfill his last wish."

Qingshui spoke righteously to Wang and Modu seriously.

"Master Walter, the Supreme Mage really did not trust the wrong person. Now, I will tell you the Supreme Mage's last wish..."

"It goes without saying, I know."

king:?

It was me who packed up the Supreme Sorcerer's last will and testament before his death?
How do you know what his last wish was?

Just think about it, Master Watt was chosen by Master Ancient One as the next Sorcerer Supreme several months ago. Knowing Master Ancient One's last wish in advance is a good thing to be cleared up... right?

"Let's do it right away!"

Qingshui said seriously.

Mordo and Wang looked at each other.

Ten minutes later.

Qingshui quickly transformed the mourning hall using the things he took out of the devouring sac, and arranged it into a stage that looked half-right.

In order to increase the atmosphere, several flames were lit using magic to serve as mood lights.

There was a sound of snapping fingers, and Qingshui used the Mind Stone to perform illusion magic, turning his clothes into a suit.

"Ahem, everyone, everyone! Please be quiet. I am the new Sorcerer Supreme, Walter. You should all know me."

Wang and Mordo tilted their heads, with confusion in their eyes.

"Next, we will fulfill the old Supreme Mage's last wish before he passed away!"

The mages below all looked up and watched the new leader speak.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

There was untimely applause.

Strange looked left and right at the crowd facing him, his movements stiff, and he stopped clapping.

"Sorry, I'm new here, and I just applauded when the leader was speaking out of habit..."

"It's okay, Strange!"

Shimizu shouted while holding a microphone on the stage.

"The old Supreme Mage lived for more than 500 years before he passed away. This is a happy funeral, a good thing! We should hide our sorrow in our hearts and put smiles on our faces to send our beloved Supreme Mage off on his final journey!"

Qingshui's face showed an expression of both crying and laughing.

The eyes are red, but the mouth is smiling.

I cried because the onion liquid was still effective, and I laughed because I could no longer hold it in.

However, it is this expression that shows that the feelings of the new Supreme Sorcerer, Master Water, are sincere enough!
"Let us all applaud the passing of the old Supreme Sorcerer!"

Qingshui raised his hand and applauded.

There was a burst of applause.

Ok?
"Let us once again applaud the great old Supreme Sorcerer for his tireless sacrifices and contributions to protecting the Earth over the past hundreds of years!!"

This time, the applause was thunderous.

Even Wang and Mordo started to applaud.

In front of the hall, in the black and white photo, Gu Yi's face still had a kind smile.

It's broken! Why do I have a bad feeling?
