A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

The Avengers were not too surprised by this.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been investigating Kaecilius for a long time, but hadn't found anything at all.

It is indeed not so easy to obtain information about the other side.

"Strange".

Nick Fury only made one request to Strange: "If you have any news about Casillas, please let us know as soon as possible."

Strictly speaking, Casillas's affair is a "family matter" of Kamar-Taj, and could even be called a "family scandal."

Under normal circumstances, Strange would not reveal this to anyone else.

But now...

Considering that Kamar-Taj was unable to stop Kaecilius, and even the Ancient One lost her life, the entire Earth was on the verge of destruction.

Strange was not so determined.

"I will!"

After a brief moment's thought, Strange agreed to Nick Fury's request without much hesitation.

"Then it's settled!"

Nick Fury responded immediately.

The other Avengers also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Because they had long realized that they couldn't find out about Cassilia on their own; they could only rely on "insiders" in Kamar-Taj.

The two sides reached an agreement in a very pleasant manner.

"Strange".

Immediately afterwards, Nick Fury contacted Strange separately and began to subtly inquire about Kamar-Taj.

At this point, Strange was no longer so polite.

"I am not a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and I am different from Tony, Rogers, and others. I am not an Avenger either."

"So Nick Fury, if you're really interested in Kamar-Taj, I suggest you talk to the Ancient One directly."

"If you can find it."

After saying this to Lu Dan, Strange cut off communication with the other party.

In the Tri-Wing Building, Lu Dan, with an unchanged expression, also exited his private chat with Strange, his face devoid of any emotion.

He knew things wouldn't go so smoothly.

Strange is just as difficult to deal with as Tony.

"It seems you've made your choice."

Strange, who was in Kamar-Taj, once again stood before the Ancient One.

The Ancient One glanced at Strange from head to toe, then nodded confidently.

Even an ancient monster like the Ancient One, who has lived for so many years, could see through Strange's decision at a glance, even without using the Time Stone to glimpse the future.

"What else can I do?"

Strange shrugged. "I can't just stand by and watch you die, can I?"

If Strange leaves now, the Ancient One will die!

Of course.

For a powerful figure like the Ancient One, her death was completely different from the death understood by ordinary people.

Even Strange wondered whether changing the future mentioned in the diary and saving the Ancient One from harm would be a good thing or a bad thing for her.

"You don't need to worry about my life or death."

The Ancient One, with a calm expression, handed Strange a cup of tea that she had leisurely prepared. "Actually, I'm starting to wonder about my future fate, something I've never experienced before."

Can I ask you a question?

Strange casually took the tea from the Ancient One, took a sip, and his face showed great curiosity.

"Of course."

The Ancient One said calmly, "But you also know that I may not answer you."

"How long have you actually lived?"

Strange asked the question that had always been on his mind.

This question can be considered an unsolved mystery of Kamar-Taj. Many Kamar-Taj sorcerers have discussed it privately, and even Strange discussed it with Baron Mordo.

But no one ever knows the exact answer.

"Long enough time."

The Ancient One naturally couldn't answer truthfully, so she just gave a vague answer and then sent Strange away.

This little incident passed, and Strange continued his apprenticeship at Kamar-Taj.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Whoosh!

In the evening, a light drizzle continued to fall, and the air was filled with a unique, fresh scent of earth, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

After dinner, Strange got itchy again. Looking out the window at the blurry world covered by rain, he couldn't resist once more.

"OK!"

Strange once again rushed out and appeared silently outside the library in Kamar-Taj.

Looking around, I saw that the library doors were tightly closed, and it was pitch black and as quiet as a ghost.

The librarian, Master Wang, had already left work long ago.

What else could Strange possibly hesitate about?

He casually opened a portal and swaggered into the library.

Strange wandered casually among the rows of bookshelves until finally, he stopped.

His attention was drawn to a magic book called the Book of Cagliostro.

"Could the stolen page from this book be the spell to summon Dormammu?"

Strange, bursting with curiosity, muttered to himself.

He already knew that Kaecilius had stolen a page of spells from the library, but no one told Strange what those spells were.

Both the Mage King and Baron Mordo remained tight-lipped about it, unwilling to mention it at all.

But Strange found the answer in the diary: what the other party had stolen was the spell to summon Dormammu.

However, the diary never mentioned which book it was.

But soon, you'll know the answer!

Driven by extreme curiosity, Strange unceremoniously took the book down and pulled out an apple from somewhere.

While enjoying an apple, he also flipped through the magic book in his hands with great interest.

Splash!

In a short time.

The library was completely quiet, with only the constant sound of pages turning.

"The Eye of Agamotto?"

Soon, some of the relevant records in the spellbook caught Strange's attention.

The diary mentions this eye; it's a true eye that can see through all illusions.

In the future, he will awaken to this kind of eye.

However, the records in this book are somewhat different from those in the diary.

The book only mentions that it is a magical artifact that controls the power of time and is the key to casting time magic.

The magic of manipulating time is also clearly recorded on it.

"Manipulating time?"

Strange's appetite was immediately whetted.

He subconsciously searched the library and actually found the Eye of Agamotto.

Then, with a speed that would make any top student blush with shame, he instantly learned the magic of time!

They restored a bitten apple to its original state.

Furthermore, he used time magic to restore the page of the magic book that Kaecilius had torn out.

"It really is from the spell that summons Dormammu!"

Strange sighed inwardly.

Click click click!

But at that moment, the space in front of Strange suddenly began to fluctuate, and rhomboid planes resembling glass surfaces appeared.

"stop!"

"Stop right now!"

Two loud shouts rang out simultaneously.

Startled, the Wizard King and Baron Mordo appeared together and unleashed a torrent of abuse on Strange, leaving him thoroughly humiliated.

Strange knew he was in the wrong, and unusually, he didn't argue with the two "seniors".

Through this opportunity, I learned more about Kamar-Taj from my two senior classmates.

They learned that Kamar-Taj has three sanctuaries that have been protecting Earth from the corruption of the Dark Dimension, and they also revealed the truth about Kaecilius.

Is Casillas really that troublesome?

"With something so dangerous in his possession, surely the Ancient One wouldn't stand idly by, would she?"

"But even she can't find Casillas?"

Strange also raised his own questions.

"Kaecilius was the Ancient One's most outstanding disciple."

The monk explained somewhat dejectedly, but after a pause, he added, "Before you."

Such a long and complex time incantation is impossible for most apprentices to learn in their lifetime, and even the talented ones need to study it for many years.

But Strange learned it in just one take, which was simply too freakish.

This greatly shocked both the Wizard King and Baron Mordo.

They finally understood why the Ancient One valued this person so much.

Boom boom boom!

Just as the group was chatting enthusiastically, the sound of bells suddenly rang out.

The monk's expression immediately changed: "London!"

That bell just now was an emergency signal from the London Temple!

Rumble!

Before the words were finished, a stone door suddenly opened, revealing that it was the portal that had been opened from the London Temple.

A London temple mage was fleeing for his life toward Kamar-Taj, but before he could actually pass through the portal, he was killed by a magical blade from Kaecilius.

"Casillas!"

Baron Mordo exclaimed in surprise.

"Casillas!"

Strange's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Casillas.

So this person is Casillas?

boom!

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Casillas unleashed another devastating attack, sending a massive shockwave crashing over him.

Strange was completely thrown over and sent flying into a portal.

By the time Strange got up, the portal had closed, and Strange was transported to the London Temple.

Strange got up and cautiously walked forward, exploring this unfamiliar place.

But they found the entire London temple completely deserted, eerily quiet.

I found my way to the door and carefully checked the address: 177 Blake Street.

Looking up at the building I had just been standing in, I confirmed that it was indeed the London Temple.

Strange didn't waste any more words and went back into the temple.

Chi Chi Chi!

Boom boom boom!

Soon, the sounds of fighting rang out.

Strange rushed over and saw Kaecilius holding a magical blade, thrusting it fiercely into the chest of a bald mage.

"stop!"

Strange didn't care about anything else at that moment and immediately shouted.

This directly revealed their location.

Of course, he didn't save the mage at all; the mage was cleanly and efficiently killed by Casillas.

Brush brush!

All eyes turned to Strange.

Including Casillas.

Strange's chrysanthemum suddenly tightened, as if he were being watched by a pack of wild beasts.

This is a group of big shots. Strange is just an apprentice who hasn't even graduated yet. It would be a lie to say he's not nervous.

More importantly, Doctor Strange was the only one left in the entire temple!

There isn't even a single big guy among them.

"Everyone, I've found Casillas!"

However, Strange quickly calmed down, immediately entered the diary interface, entered the group chat that Lu Dan had previously created, and shouted in the group chat.

"Casillas!"

The Avengers in the group were immediately alerted.

"What location!"

Nick Fury didn't waste any words and immediately began asking questions.

"London! 177 Blake Street!"

Strange responded quickly.

London?

It has to be said that the Avengers really didn't expect this.

But then I realized why S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't find Kaecilius. It turns out he wasn't even in the United States.

Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is an international intelligence agency, its strength is greatly reduced if it operates outside of the United States.

"How long have you been in Kamar-Taj, Mister…"

Casillas's voice rang out at that moment, and he began to greet Strange.

"doctor."

Strange corrected Casillas on how he addressed himself.

"You called for a doctor?"

Casillas was taken aback.

"That's strange."

strange?

Casillas paused, then said, "It is quite strange."

Tatata!

Then, Casillas began to charge rapidly toward Strange.

The same was true of the group of mages under his command.

Strange's chrysanthemum tightened slightly, and she communicated with everyone again in her diary: "Everyone, I need you, now! The situation is urgent, where are you?"

"Stark Tower, I'm ready."

"Let's open a magical portal!"

Tony immediately responded, "By the way, you've already been to Mount Everest by now, haven't you?"

The "Mount Everest Incident" was a landmark event in the Strange Society's teleportation system.

"Yes, I've already been exposed to the wind."

Strange nodded helplessly, then quickly waved his right hand and drew a few circles.

Chi Chi Chi!

A dazzling golden magic door has appeared.

A sleek, undeniably cool metal figure—no, two metal figures—passed through the portal and came into Strange's view. (End of Chapter)
