He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 173 Departure, Kamar-Taj! (First Update)

The following afternoon at 7 PM.

In front of 177A Rick Street in Manhattan's Brussels district, Li Chuan and Wanda, dressed in casual matching outfits, raised their hands and knocked on the unassuming blue door in front of them.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut, dressed in a mage's robe, peeked out from behind the door.

Who are you looking for?

"We are wizards Li Chuan and Wanda Maximov, invited here by the Ancient One."

Li Chuan smiled and took out the card that Gu Yi had left behind.

Upon hearing this, the man nodded expressionlessly, opened the door fully, and gestured for the door to open.

"The Supreme Master mentioned you a few days ago. I am the King, responsible for guarding this place. Please follow me!"

Li Chuan and Wanda nodded and followed Wang into the New York Sanctuary.

The sanctuary is dimly lit, with a very retro decorating style and various vases and paintings that look very old, giving it an overall mysterious feel.

Directly opposite the lobby is a very luxurious staircase that leads directly to the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, you'll find a large hall filled with many strange magical items, the most eye-catching of which is a red cloak that flutters around.

Li Chuan knew that was probably the levitation cloak.

The levitation cloak is an ancient magical item that can help its owner fly at supersonic speeds, resist magical and physical attacks, transform into various clothes, and even possess its own consciousness.

However, that was equipment left by the Ancient One for Doctor Strange, and even if he wanted it, it would be difficult for him to obtain it.

Fortunately, once he went to the world of immortals and heroes, he could learn to fly on a sword. His speed wouldn't be much slower than with the levitation cloak, and his attack power was definitely not comparable to that of the levitation cloak.

As for transforming into various clothes, his spells can also do that.

After walking around the second-floor corridor, they arrived at three glass doors under Wang's guidance.

These are three very strange glass doors, because on the other side of each glass door are three completely different natural landscapes: a tropical rainforest, a desert, and the ocean.

If an ordinary person saw it, they would think it was some kind of holographic display screen.

But Li Chuan knew that they were three spatial gates made with extremely advanced spatial magic, and the opposite side of the gates corresponded to three different locations on Earth, or even places that might not be on Earth at all.

Where is the Ancient One?

Wanda stared at the three glass doors in front of her with some curiosity, a look of doubt on her face.

They had reached the end of the road but did not see the bald female sorceress who had visited their home last time. However, the place was quite interesting, like visiting an ancient castle.

"The Sorcerer Supreme returned to Kamar-Taj yesterday. You can see her by crossing over from here."

Wang replied politely, then reached out and turned the round button next to the middle glass door, which was engraved with runic symbols. The original desert scenery outside the glass door was immediately replaced by a Tibetan-style room.

Inside the room, Gu Yi was sitting in a chair making tea. When she saw Li Chuan and Wanda on the other side of the glass door, she smiled gently, as if she had expected their arrival.

"A kind of spatial magic, similar to our Apparition, but this portal is much farther away."

Li Chuan explained something to Wanda, then pulled her across the portal, appearing directly from the New York Sanctuary to Kamar-Taj, far away in the Himalayas.

Good morning, His Holiness the Venerable Master!

Evening in New York is morning in Kamar-Taj.

"Good morning, Venerable Li Chuan and Venerable Wangda. Please try the tea I have prepared for you."

Gu Yi handed two black jars filled with emerald green tea leaves to Li Chuan and Wanda.

Welcome to Kamar-Taj!

"Thanks!"

Li Chuan and Wanda simultaneously took a sip of the tea, their eyes immediately lighting up.

It is mellow, smooth, sweet, and refreshing, with a long and pleasant aftertaste. It is the best tea they have ever tasted, much better than the expensive teas they had bought at home before.

Indeed, Kamar-Taj has existed for so many years, so the tea grown there is naturally incomparable to ordinary tea from elsewhere.

After a brief chat, Gu Yi introduced a black sorcerer to Li Chuan and Wanda:

"This is my apprentice, Master Mordo. He will show you around Kamar-Taj. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me anytime. I will be here for the next couple of days."

Compared to the previously somewhat expressionless and taciturn King, Mordo was clearly much more talkative.

He smiled and led Li Chuan and Wanda on a tour of the entire Kamar-Taj, showing them a training ground where novice sorcerer apprentices practiced magic and fought, a library filled with all sorts of spellbooks, and magical rings and weapons used by arcane sorcerers to cast spells.

He also explained many stories about Kamar-Taj and the Sorcerer Supreme, such as the establishment of Kamar-Taj, the three sanctuaries, and the dimensional demons defeated by the Ancient One.

Overall, Modu is a pretty good tour guide.

Not only did Wanda, who had never heard of these things before, listen with great interest and exclaim in amazement, but Li Chuan, who already knew a lot about them, also felt that he had benefited greatly and gained a lot of new insights into the world.

In his previous life, Li Chuan had watched many Marvel movies and seen many related videos on his phone, but he wasn't a die-hard Marvel fan, nor had he ever specifically read the comics or studied them in depth.

Therefore, there are many things that he only has a superficial understanding of.

He didn't quite understand concepts like the so-called multiverse and parallel universes, the various complex timelines, and the demons and gods of different dimensions.

After exploring the entire Kamar-Taj, it was nearly noon. Li Chuan and Wanda had lunch together at the invitation of the Ancient One, and then left Kamar-Taj to explore Kathmandu.

Although Kamar-Taj is located in the Himalayas, its entrance is in a small alley in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Furthermore, it is equipped with Wi-Fi, allowing mages to surf the internet while practicing magic.

After Li Chuan and Wanda left, Mordo asked the Ancient One with some confusion:

"You seem to value them a lot?"

There are quite a few sorcerers who have joined the Kamar-Taj family, but very few were personally invited by the Ancient One, and then she specifically asked him to accompany and explain things to them after they returned.

Gu Yi picked up her teacup and took a small sip.

"Both of them are very talented and very strong."

"Is he even more talented than Casillas?"

Mordo remembered that even back then, the Ancient One had never paid as much attention to Kaecilius, this exceptionally talented sorcerer, as she did now.

Gu Yi smiled and nodded:

"Kaecilius is still far behind them. The future achievements of the two sorcerers, Li Chuan and Wanda, may not be lower than mine. Their joining Kamar-Taj will be a good thing for the whole world."

Mordo's pupils contracted immediately upon hearing this; he had never heard such high praise from the Ancient One before.

In his heart, the Ancient One was the strongest sorcerer in the world, without exception, an existence that could not be surpassed.
