"Praise be to your power!"
Kaecilius was deeply impressed. As expected of the Lord of the Apocalypse Dimension, Kamar-Taj could be visited and left as it pleased, just like his own home.
In comparison, the demons from other dimensions pale in comparison; each time they invade Earth's latitudes, they trigger a barrier warning and are driven back before they even arrive.
Kaecilius felt that siding with the Apocalypse Dimension was the wisest decision of his life. The Lord of the Apocalypse Dimension was so powerful, how could the Sorcerer Supreme possibly win?
Should we take his sand sculpture?
Casillas grew increasingly smug, a smirk playing on his lips as he nearly burst out laughing, before realizing something was amiss.
"Huh, where did the Lord of the Dark Dimension go?"
"Not asking any questions?"
Apocalyptic Dimension!
Lin Bei expressionlessly took out the script and began revising it.
He heard everything Casillas was thinking. He had even considered giving the other man a chance to live, but the guy actually called him an idiot.
This is really unreasonable!
Kaecilius was originally destined to die in the clash between the Sorcerer Supreme and Dormammu, but that was too easy for him. He had offended both the Sorcerer Supreme and the Lord of the Apocalypse; death wasn't so easy for him.
You have to die a few more times!
As for the saying "ignorance is no excuse," Lin Bei said that important people often have bad memories and had already forgotten that he had said those words.
The idea came to mind, and the script was reprinted, with more than 20,000 new words added. It was all about Kaecilius being killed by the Sorcerer Supreme, then resurrected by Dormammu, repeating this cycle dozens of times, dying in different ways.
"Supreme Mage!"
"Oh, what brings you here?" Lin Bei said without looking up, "As expected of the mage Hamil, you actually guessed that I revised the script again. Wait a minute, I haven't finished writing the hundred ways to die for Kaecilius yet."
"..." Mage Hamil looked up at the sky speechlessly. Even a fool could guess that Casillas had offended someone he shouldn't have.
After finishing writing about a hundred ways to die, Lin Bei was still full of inspiration. He deleted and eliminated the easy and pleasant ways to die, and replaced them with some who suffered greatly before their death, making sure they were as painful as possible.
He's not bragging, but if he went through half of these hundred ways to die, I guarantee Casillas himself wouldn't want to live anymore.
"Here, I've added a lot of scenes for you in the new script." With the script sorted out, Lin Bei felt refreshed.
"Sorcerer Supreme, Kaecilius contacted Dormammu to inquire why he suddenly left earlier, and whether he was sensed by the defensive barrier of Kamar-Taj."
"Don't worry about him, he won't have many good days left. Just keep watching him. Even if he goes to the bathroom, you can't let him out of your sight!"
Master Hamil: "..."
Wouldn't it be incredibly perverse for me to do that?
I'm getting old~
Sigh~ Be careful. If this gets discovered, you might ruin your reputation in your later years, which would be worse than death.
I'd better finish this quickly so I can just retire!
Lin Bei grumbled and tossed the script to the mage Hamil before disappearing from the Apocalypse Dimension. Strange was too slow; he couldn't wait any longer.
Pushing open Strange's door, Lin Bei was greeted by Sean, the robot butler. Sean was Strange's personal JTS-2 model robot. Apart from Strange himself, Sean did not need to provide services to other mages, nor was he responsible for them.
In theory, the Sorcerer Supreme should also be included, but the problem is that Hydra Technologies, which manufactures the JTS series robots, is owned by the Sorcerer Supreme.
Lin Bei: You wouldn't believe it, even the robots are my people!
"His Holiness the Sorcerer Supreme, Sean sends his greetings."
Although it's just 0s and 1s, plus a pair of wires and metal, the robot's service attitude is truly impeccable, like a gentle breeze, always making people feel at home.
"There's nothing wrong with you, go down!"
"clear."
And so, the robot butler who only served Strange abandoned his master and left under Lin Bei's orders.
Unaware of this, Strange stood intently at the table, holding a spellbook in one hand and drawing circles on the Eye of Agamotto on the table with the other, muttering incantations as if casting a spell.
Lin Bei stood to the side with his arms crossed, not saying a word to interrupt, and just watched Strange cast the spell.
He knew what Strange was doing: trying to break the seal on the Eye of Agamotto and restore this artifact of the Sorcerer Supreme's legacy to its original form.
Unfortunately, this is not something Strange can do right now!
As a prophetic artifact, the Eye of Agamotto can foresee any unusual magical fluctuations on Earth, including dimensional invasions. It can sense in advance when a dimensional demon is about to descend, making it far more effective than the magical barrier of Kamar-Taj.
Secondly, the Eye of Agamotto can see through the essence of magic, allowing the user to easily break through the enemy's magic, and can also be used for self-defense when necessary.
Finally, the Eye of Agamotto does indeed possess the ability to predict the future. When combined with the Time Stone, it can also see parallel universes on other timelines, allowing even powerful figures to glimpse them. This is the main reason it was sealed away.
Although the ability to predict the future was sealed, those powerful figures didn't go too far; they merely weakened it, so it was still usable for observing a galaxy.
“Strange, what kind of seal is this? I can’t figure it out at all…” Strange picked up the Eye of Agamotto and examined it from head to toe.
The treasure was sealed and could not be unlocked. An ordinary person would be very frustrated, but Strange was different. In his eyes, it was the charm of magic that made people forget to eat and sleep and couldn't extricate themselves.
"Don't even think about it. You couldn't break it even if you racked your brains," Lin Bei said. The Eye of Agamotto was sealed by a powerful figure, and even he, the Lord of the Apocalypse Dimension, was powerless against it. For Strange to break the seal now was simply wishful thinking.
"Oh, Venerable Master, what brings you here?"
Strange was startled. Not seeing his attentive butler, he asked in confusion, "Have you seen Sean? That's strange. It's one thing that he didn't remind me, but he didn't even make you a cup of tea?"
Chapter 247
“Sorcerer Supreme!” Strange bowed respectfully. “Sean, go and get some drinks.”
“Supreme Master, what would you like to drink? I only have coffee and some milk tea here.”
As Strange spoke, he didn't hear the sound of Sean walking. "Sean? Sean!"
“No need to bother, Sean said his stomach wasn’t feeling well, so he probably went to the repair shop,” Lin Bei said casually.
"..." Strange was speechless with astonishment. He knew that the Sorcerer Supreme was always unreliable, but the idea that a robot would get a stomachache... could he really believe that?
Please don't say that the battery has expired.
Lin Bei stared wide-eyed and said, "The battery might be expired!"
Strange: “…”
"Forget about that! Strange, it looks like you've found the Ancient One's relics. Not bad, clothes make the man, and you look great in that red cloak, as if you've matured instantly." Lin Bei looked you up and down, and said with deep sorrow, "And the Eye of Agamotto, the way you wear it reminds me of that photo of the Ancient One when she left."
Strange shuddered at the words, removed the Eye of Agamotto from his neck, and obediently placed it on the table.
Lin Bei clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up: "It looks even more like it without the mask, it's exactly the same as the picture of the Ancient One hanging on the wall!"
"..."
Strange blinked, then hung the Eye of Agamotto necklace back up, a forced smile twitching at the corner of his mouth.
Just as he was about to ask Lin Bei what business he had, he suddenly remembered something and excitedly picked up the Eye of Agamotto: "Supreme Mage, you've come at the perfect time! You must know about the Eye of Agamotto, the treasure of the legendary mage Agamotto. Can you break the seal on it?"
“It can’t be solved!” Lin Bei shook his head repeatedly, patting Strange’s shoulder and saying with disapproval, “The Ancient One, no, it was some unknown sorcerer who used the Eye of Agamotto’s powerful probing ability to spy on the goddess while she was bathing. As a result, the Eye of Agamotto was sealed, and that sorcerer died.”
Strange glanced at Lin Bei furtively, not understanding why the latter always spoke ill of the Ancient One in front of him. Regardless of whether it was true or not, he was just a newbie and really didn't want to get involved in the feud between the Sorcerers Supreme.
"Supreme Master, what brings you here to see me?"
Strange decided to get straight to the point, which might be impolite, but it was better than knowing too much.
"Just a friendly reminder, I just observed the celestial phenomena last night and did some calculations. Kamar-Taj is going to be fraught with bloodshed~" Lin Bei looked up at the ceiling with a solemn expression. After a moment, he sighed and said, "One star dims and then another star lights up. This is the changing of the guard, signifying the end of one era and the beginning of another."
"Just now?" Strange had a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Bei was the Sorcerer Supreme, he would have vomited long ago.
"Your Holiness, it's not dark yet, and there's a chandelier in this room. May I ask how you observed the celestial phenomena at night?"
"Oh, I was looking at the celestial phenomena in Ami!"
"..."
Strange: That makes so much sense!
It's daytime in the Eastern Hemisphere and nighttime in the Western Hemisphere. Lin Bei's observations of the night sky are well-reasoned, supported by evidence, and scientifically sound. Strange has no choice but to accept it.
He looked conflicted: "Supreme Master, what you're telling me... I know it's useless to me. It should be spread far and wide so that all the sorcerers in Kamar-Taj are on high alert."
"It's no use. The future may have countless changes, but there is only one predetermined fate. Just like birth, aging, sickness, and death for ordinary people, you can avoid disease, but you can't prevent aging. Death is always the end of life."
"But we are monks, and prolonging our lives is very simple for us..."
"I was just using an analogy."
Lin Bei looked at Strange and said, "A predetermined fate cannot be changed. Telling others will only drag innocent people who were originally uninvolved into it, so the fewer people who know about this, the better."
Strange's eyes widened. If that's the case, why tell him?
"I wasn't planning to tell you at first, but you and the Ancient One looked so alike in that photo when you left that I subconsciously blurted it out," Lin Bei explained.
"..."
Strange held his breath and focused his mind into a meditative state, so that the unscrupulous Sorcerer Supreme would be unable to see anything.
"I can see it, yet you call me heartless!"
"..."
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I came here mainly to see what relics you've acquired, given the current situation..."
Lin Bei stroked his chin, paused for a moment, and then said, "You didn't pack up and move all of the Ancient One's belongings here, did you?"
No, I didn't take the photo of the Ancient One!
Strange pursed his lips and gave a gentle smile: "My teacher has too many belongings. I want to bring them back and sort them out slowly. After I've sorted them out, I will return the items that I no longer wish to keep intact."
"Whatever you want, these relics will just gather dust anyway."
At this point, Lin Bei's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Because you know about the changes in the celestial phenomena, you are now involved in the cause and effect. If you don't handle it properly, I'm afraid you won't have a good end."
"..."
"Don't panic, it's only a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. You still have a ten percent chance of surviving."
Lin Bei pointed to the Ancient One's relics: "Don't waste time on the Eye of Agamotto. Get familiar with the other magical items as soon as possible, especially the Eye of Agamotto. This artifact is very powerful, possessing the 'Power of the All-Seeing,' and has a strong suppressive effect on undead, demons, and other hellish and dark creatures."
"In addition, it possesses many amazing abilities such as seeing through disguises, dispelling illusions, and peering into the mysteries of dimensional magic. Seize the time to master it, and this is your one-in-ten chance of survival."
Ignoring Strange's sullen face, which resembled that of Little Left and Little Right, Lin Bei continued, "I'll give you three days to cram and memorize all the spellbooks in the Ancient One's collection. Whether you learn them or not isn't important; you just need to remember them."
