I'm grinding for Marvel attributes

Chapter 82 Archmage Loki, Apprentice Mage Matt

Loki is very happy lately.

After leaving Asgard and arriving in Kamar-Taj, no one treated him or Thor differently.

In Kamar-Taj, both he and Thor began their training as apprentices.

In just eight or nine days, he used his extensive magical knowledge to impress many sorcerers in Kamar-Taj.

Now, in Kamar-Taj, people call him—Loki the Great Wizard!

Bertrand Russell was right.

The sorcerers in Kamar-Taj are all kind people, and they speak so sweetly. I love it there.

"But now, I will continue to conquer the mortals outside Kamar-Taj, so that they too may experience the greatness of magic."

In the center of the crowd, Loki, surrounded by admirers, looked radiant.

He was no longer satisfied with the wonder and power of verbal magic; he planned to demonstrate it to these Muggles himself.

As Loki's magic flowed, lifelike illusions appeared, dazzling and mesmerizing.

Even the most advanced movie special effects cannot compare to it.

"Loki, the Archmage! Loki, the Archmage!"

Among the crowd, a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old was the first to cheer, shouting out Loki's nickname from Kamar-Taj.

"Loki, the Archmage! Loki, the Archmage!"

Immediately afterwards, the crowd cheered.

Loki's true form sat in a chair in the corner, holding a glass of wine.

He squinted slightly and took a small sip.

It's easy to see that he really enjoyed the cheers from the crowd.

Seeing this, Russell did not go forward to disturb them.

After finishing his business with Tony, Russell planned to ask Loki how he was doing in Kamar-Taj.

Now there's no need to ask anymore, it's definitely quite good.

Russell remained seated, then gently raised his wrist.

Divine power flowed and emanated from his body.

Like an invisible hand, it lifted the girl who was leading the cheers to a seat next to her.

"Eileen, it's getting late, you should go home."

"Although you asked Tony to help you pass on a message to your family."

"But they'll be worried if there's been no news for so long."

The girl was Eileen.

She has been staying in Kamar-Taj ever since she went there with Tony.

The first few days were spent waiting for Russell's news, and the next few days were spent with Matt.

Tonight, Russell came to New York to see Tony, so he brought her back with him.

Russell had to attend to important matters, so he let Eileen wander around the party on her own, eating and drinking for free.

Since we're already here, we can play for a while before going back.

Eileen nodded: "Then Russell, you can take me home."

"it is good."

Russell rotated his wrist and gently drew circles with his fingers.

A ring of fire, the size of a fist, appeared.

As the ring of fire drifted forward, it rapidly expanded, forming a portal.

It stopped right in front of Eileen.

Before Eileen stepped into the portal, Russell suddenly remembered something and instructed her:

"Eileen, go to Nelson & Murdoch's law firm in Hell's Kitchen tomorrow."

"Tell the law firm's Virginia Nelson about Matt's situation."

"How so?" Eileen asked.

"Tell the truth," Russell replied.

Eileen then asked:

"To be honest, what if Virgil Nelson doesn't believe me?"

Russell's advice:

"If Virginia doesn't believe, then take him to the Holy See in New York."

"Find the guardian mage there and have him teleport you to Kamar-Taj."

"Seeing is believing, and when he arrived at Kamar-Taj, he believed it."

"OK."

Eileen agreed and stepped into the portal.

Russell was somewhat annoyed.

He had forgotten that Matt was also an orphan.

But Matt has a close friend

—Virgi Nelson.

They are university alumni, roommates, interns, and business partners.

In short, they have a very good relationship.

After graduation, the two opened a law firm together in Hell's Kitchen.

—Nelson & Murdoch law firm.

Matt has been missing for more than ten days without any news. I guess Virgil hasn't been able to sleep lately.

Shaking his head helplessly, Russell's figure also vanished on the spot.

Russell did not intend to meet with the other Avengers members.

We're not close.

In the blink of an eye, a portal opened and closed.

Crossing time zones, the sun and moon change.

Russell travels from New York, to Tony's nighttime party, back to Kamar-Taj, to the courtyard where the sorcerers practice their morning rituals.

For the vast majority of mages, diligent study and practice day after day, year after year, are essential to improving their magical skills.

Wanda and Pietro are two newly recruited junior female and male students.

They also diligently learned the proper spellcasting techniques.

But this has nothing to do with Russell; he doesn't need to.

With nothing to do, Russell walked to the rocking chair in the corner, ready to lie down and have a good nap.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a similarly out-of-place, idle figure.

Matt Murdoch.

Good morning, Matt.

Good morning, Russell.

After exchanging greetings with Matt, Russell asked with concern:

"How are you finding your stay in Kamar-Taj?"

Ma nodded, then shook his head.

Russell looked on in confusion, his face full of black lines.

Seeing this, Matt explained:

"The people here in Kamar-Taj are very easy to get along with."

"However, the spiritual body cannot come into contact with physical objects."

"After a while, with nothing to do, it gets a bit boring."

"Can't a spiritual entity touch a physical object?"

Russell fell silent, lost in thought.

The first spiritual entity he encountered was the Whitebeard Ancient One, who did not have this problem.

Russell's divine power allowed him to directly touch several other souls he encountered afterward, and he didn't notice this problem.

Furthermore, out of guilt, Russell used the most core panel attribute points to nourish Matt's soul after rescuing it.

From a spiritual perspective, Matt's soul is quite solid.

Russell hadn't seen Matt much during this period either.

In conclusion, Russell never noticed the inconvenience of Matt's soul.

How did the Ancient One (Whitebeard) manage to transform his spirit into a physical form? It couldn't be some old-fashioned method like compressing energy, could it?

As he pondered, Russell reached out his hand.

A ball of energy appeared in his palm, and he attempted to compress it.

After a brief attempt, Russell gave up.

Compressing energy will change its structure.

When the energy structure changes, it becomes unstable and may even explode.

It is impossible for it to become a physical entity.

This is a transformation between the virtual and the real, but it is not a change in the gas, liquid, or solid state of matter.

However, Russell had a sudden inspiration and remembered something.

Stephen Strange.

In the movie "Doctor Strange," he demonstrated the ability to leave his body and study magic all night long.

It is evident that the spell of astral projection contains techniques that help the spiritual body interfere with matter.

Thinking of this, Russell looked up at Matt and asked:

"Matt, Kamar-Taj has a spell that can help you interfere with reality using your spiritual form. Do you want to learn it?"

Matt was delighted to hear this, but still wanted to confirm first:

"Is this the secret teachings of Kamar-Taj? Can I learn it?"

"Should we consult the Ancient One first?"

Russell nodded:

"Of course you can learn from it. Kamar-Taj is not a place where you keep your secrets to yourself."

"The magical knowledge here is open to all studious mages."

Yes, white magic is from Kamar-Taj and is available to all mages.

Black magic and other highly dangerous forms of magic are mostly privately owned.

If you want to learn, you must first get your owner's permission.

Upon hearing what Russell said, Matt looked at Russell with anticipation.

His expression, demeanor, and gestures all seemed to be saying one thing.

Teach me!

Russell gave an awkward smile.

He knows all other magic.

Of course, I can teach. If the student can't learn, that's the student's problem, not his.

But the magic of astral projection is an exception.

It can still be used when his panel is at level two.

After the upgrade, it stopped working.

Of course, his divine body can freely enter and exit the spiritual world and the material world, and there is no difference between them.

Russell rose and walked toward the monk Mordo in the courtyard, gesturing for Matt to follow.

"Brother Modu."

"Master Russell."

Modu, who was on patrol and giving instructions to the monks, was somewhat surprised to see Russell approaching.

As long as Russell doesn't suddenly have the idea to teach other monks how to practice.

Mordo certainly had no objection to Russell, the future Sorcerer Supreme.

Although Russell is relatively inexperienced, he is very capable.

Fight Mephisto, slay the primal demon-beast, and destroy the pantheon of Sakura Island.

During this time, Russell's brilliant record had already spread throughout Kamar-Taj.

As for the source of the information, it is the tea party personally hosted by Master Gu Yi every afternoon at three o'clock.

It's absolutely impossible for it to be fake.

"Brother Mordo, I would like to ask you to help teach Matt magic."

Modu nodded in agreement.

As long as Russell doesn't intend to interfere with the teaching of magicians, those are minor issues.

As for Matt, Mordo has come to know him as a kind and upright person after spending time with him these past few days.

"That's no problem. However, without a physical body, cultivation would be even more dangerous."

"Russell, you know him."

"When drawing energy from the multiverse, any magical energy can corrupt the mind."

"And the physical body can help isolate parts of it."

"Matt now lacks a physical body, so he will be more susceptible to corruption than other mages."

"It's alright, I have a way to handle this."

Russell smiled confidently, opened his palm, and a ball of pure energy floated on it.

"When Matt learns magic, he can use my energy."

Modu closed his eyes and carefully felt with his heart.

This energy comes from the attribute points of the Russell board.

Non-toxic, harmless, and non-contaminating.

When used on Russell himself, as long as it does not exceed the panel level limit, it can quickly improve attributes.

When used on others, it can also nourish the soul and body, slowly increasing the strength of the soul and body.

The only drawback might be that he's not good at fighting.

After a long while, Modu opened his eyes.

The shock in his eyes was hard to hide.

"It really has no effect on the mind!"

It is important to know that even energy from Vishanti can influence a mage's mind, making them more kind and peaceful.

However, the influence of the Vishanti's power is good on a moral level, so it is usually not considered a side effect.

Modu, unable to contain his excitement, asked in a trembling voice:

"Russell, can other monks use this energy for practice?"

Russell slowly shook his head:

"All things related to magic have one thing in common."

"The source determines everything."
