Marvel Person: You call this a sorcerer?

Chapter 210 The Secret of the Dark Book

The Dark Book?

When she heard the name, Agatha Harkness's face showed no surprise, but rather understanding.

She now knew why Ronan had come to see her.

However, the knowing look on her face quickly turned into mockery.

"I didn't expect that you, as the Ancient One's disciple, would follow in her footsteps."

"She once promised that Kamar-Taj would never covet my Dark Book."

"So, she also wants to play that dirty trick of 'I make a promise, but my disciple doesn't'?"

Agatha Harkness's face clearly showed a hint of anger.

It's clear that she was very dissatisfied with Ronan's demands.

Ronan didn't believe a single punctuation mark from Agatha Harkness.

The reason is simple: the woman standing in front of Ronan was not a respectable woman, but an old witch who had lived for hundreds of years.

To put it another way, she's probably had more partners than Ronan has ever known salt.

If a person is so honest that he can live to be hundreds of years old without dying, it can only mean one thing.

All the bad guys are dead!

A person can be simply honest, but cannot always be simply honest.

Ronan silently made a universally recognized friendly gesture in his mind, but his expression remained unchanged.

Whether or not Gu Yi made a promise to you, I don't know, and I don't want to, nor do I have the ability to interfere in your affairs.

"However, if the Ancient One knew that Earth and even the entire universe would be destroyed soon, she would probably take back such a promise."

Ronan glanced at Agatha Harkness and said coldly.

No matter what, we can't lose our momentum.

The two of them may seem to have an equal relationship, but in reality, Agatha Harkness would never consider Ronan to be on the same level.

This is the pride of the strong, but it is also the ingrained mindset left behind after living for hundreds of years.

"Ha, are all young people these days so fond of boasting?"

"The destruction of Earth and even the universe?"

"It's not that I look down on you, but with your current abilities, can you leave Earth and go to the wider universe beyond Earth?"

Agatha Harkness gave a cold laugh, just as Ronan had guessed; she looked down on Ronan.

Ronan shook his head. With his current abilities, although he could leave Earth, without oxygen, the outcome was predictable.

He's not one of those main characters in Marvel who doesn't need oxygen equipment no matter which planet they explore, whether they're human or alien.

"Then I suggest you leave now. Otherwise, when the Ancient One comes looking for you, whether you're still alive or have been transformed into something else by me, you can't blame me."

Agatha Harkness glanced at Ronan's body and thought, "Hmm, he's more suited to being turned into a puppet, so he can be my male servant."

Ronan's face darkened; this old witch was definitely thinking of something unclean.

"A while ago, a massive surge of energy appeared on Earth; you must have sensed it, right?"

After weighing the strength of both sides and considering that this was still the other side's territory, Ronan decided to persuade them with reason.

"Indeed, but I couldn't tell who was unleashing that energy."

Agatha Harkness did not deny it.

Ronan couldn't help but roll his eyes. This old witch, nine out of ten of her statements were lies.

Even that last truth was utter nonsense!

"I know very well that you have already noticed that the energy is the result of the chaos magic."

"I know about your other desires for chaos magic, but it doesn't matter to me."

"I just want to tell you that the chaos magic that happened that day was not unleashed by Wanda from our universe."

"That energy comes from another universe."

Ronan shook his head. Agatha Harkness had been searching for a breakthrough because she had explored almost every possible path.

This is a very painful thing for a wizard.

Therefore, she once planned to study in Kamar-Taj, wanting to find another way.

However, she was rejected by the Ancient One.

Ronan learned all of this from Kamar-Taj's records. Kamar-Taj still showed respect to dangerous figures like Agatha Harkness who could summon evil gods.

Ronan's reason for investigating these matters was simple: when looking for a character whose villainous side outweighs his heroic side, it would be foolish not to fully understand the character.

"A joke, another universe?"

"A Wanda from another universe? How could that be...?"

However, before Agatha Harkness could finish speaking, the cold smile on her lips froze on her face.

She wasn't stupid; she instantly understood what Ronan meant.

Ronan previously mentioned the Dark Book and the Scarlet Witch from another universe, so the two must be related.

So, if that's the case, what is this connection?

The answer, without a doubt, lies in the Dark Book.

Coincidentally, Agatha Harkness, who had read the entire Dark Book, knew of a spell called "Dreamwalking".

It can allow your consciousness and soul to travel to another version of yourself in a parallel universe.

The price, however, is...

"It seems you've figured it out."

Ronan felt a secret thrill as he watched Agatha Harkness's face begin to show fear.

Say something! You have to say something! Why aren't you saying anything?

I'd also like to know what your next word will be.

The expression on Agatha Harkness's face at that moment could only be described as fascinating.

Fear, doubt, unease, and even a fleeting sense of enlightenment.

In short, it's just extremely ugly.

Why should I believe you?

After a long while, Agatha Harkness finally uttered these words.

However, Ronan shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

"Whether you believe me or not is irrelevant. I can't beat you, and I can't force you to believe me."

"But as long as Gu Yi believes in me, that's enough."

"If Gu Yi finds out about this, then it won't be me coming to find you; it will be her coming to talk to you personally."

Ronan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Agatha Harkness's face showed a hint of anger.

Because she carefully read and analyzed it, she finally understood the underlying message: the entire text was about two words.

Threat!

A blatant threat!

However, Agatha Harkness had no way to deal with it.

Because she clearly saw that after Ronan finished speaking, he took out a small necklace from his pocket and put it around his neck with a very slow and exaggerated motion.

The thing hanging from that necklace was something that looked like an eye.

Agatha Harkness recognized this necklace; it's one of the sacred objects of Kamar-Taj, the Eye of Agamotto.

She had also seen that when the Eye of Agamotto opened, another thing that Kamar-Taj had been protecting would appear inside.

Time Stone!

Fake!

Agatha Harkness, who had been a lady for centuries, finally couldn't hold back and uttered a swear word.

She never expected that Gu Yi would value this disciple so much!

Not only did she confidently entrust the power of Kamar-Taj to this child, she even left him the Eye of Agamotto and the Time Stone!

Ancient One...

Thinking of the face of her "old friend" and those all-seeing eyes, Agatha Harkness extinguished the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

She couldn't possibly kill Ronan.

Regardless of whether she has the ability to break through the limitations of the Time Stone and kill Ronan through the cracks in time.

Most importantly, if Ronan wasn't stupid, he would have informed his companions of his whereabouts before taking action.

After such a short "confrontation," Agatha Harkness dismissed the idea that Ronan was a fool from the very second sentence.

If Ronan were to encounter any problems, Agatha Harkness would undoubtedly be the prime suspect.

As long as she remains on Earth, she will absolutely not escape the Ancient One's punishment.

Then leave this universe?

Agatha Harkness never even considered it.

If she had other means, that would be one thing, but the only means she could use was "Dream Walk".

She knew the consequences of her dream journey, and she also knew its limitations.

Even if there is an Agatha Harkness in every parallel universe, she can use dream travel to travel between parallel universes before they collide.

Can she guarantee that the guardians in every parallel universe will allow her to act so recklessly?

If she were to travel to an incredibly terrifying parallel universe, she might die at someone else's hands the moment she lands.

So, we can't fight, and we can't run away.

cunning little rascal!

Agatha Harkness glanced at Ronan's current state and became even angrier.

For some reason, Ronan closed his left eye and only opened his right eye, looking very closely at the Eye of Agamotto.

It seems they are trying to find out what's inside.

Agatha Harkness understood his meaning perfectly: he was reminding the other party that there were good things inside.

hiss…

call…

Agatha Harkness quickly took a few deep breaths, repeatedly telling herself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry."

It's not that she doesn't want to be angry, it's that she really has no other choice!

"What I can tell you is that the last time I heard about this book was a long time ago."

"But so many years have passed, and I still don't know who it ended up in."

"The only thing I can tell you is that all parties are searching for this book, and countless ordinary people want to use it to glimpse the power of the secret arts."

"I heard that Joseph Bauer of the Power Energy Laboratory seems to know something about this book."

After much rambling, Agatha Harkness finally gave Ronan some useful information.

Power and Energy Laboratory…

Joseph Bauer…

Ronan narrowed his eyes and memorized the name.

However, he also looked at Agatha Harkness.

For some reason, Agatha Harkness's body trembled, as if she had been tricked.

"If I remember correctly, Lady Harkness, you possess a copy of the Dark Book."

"Could I borrow it to take a look first?"

Ronan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Agatha Harkness couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Fake!

This is the second time she has sworn today.

Nothing's wrong, it's the old witch; something's wrong, it's Lady Harkness.

Besides, this book is Agatha Harkness's most prized possession; she would never give it to Ronan!

"Oh, don't worry, I'm just looking, I won't take anything away."

Ronan seemed to suddenly remember something and added another sentence.

He's not like some scumbags who say they want to sleep together but never actually touch you.

They said they would just touch a match to the sandpaper, absolutely not to light it, but it still lit up in the end.

"Just looking?"

Agatha Harkness swallowed her anger.

She was somewhat skeptical of Ronan's words.

"I, the King, swear on my life that I will never covet a copy of Agatha Harkness's Dark Book. If I break this oath, may the Founding Fathers annihilate me!"

Ronan immediately swore an oath in a solemn manner.

So your name is Wang…

Agatha Harkness glanced at Ronan, finding the name somewhat odd.

This name is obviously more common in those Eastern countries, but Ronan is not of mixed race, so is this name really appropriate?

In any case, Agatha Christie remembered the name "King".

If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely give this "king" a good beating!

Finally, Agatha Harkness stretched out her hands and slowly cast a spell.

The reddish-brown energy carried out a book that looked very old; the slightly damaged paper contained a large amount of text.

Agatha Harkness glanced at Ronan and slowly pushed the book away.

The book landed in front of Ronan, who turned to the first page.

"Kid, although I hate you and wish you were dead, I still have to give you a heads-up."

"This contains a large amount of extremely terrifying black magic, some of which cannot be simply described as magic."

"Once you cast these spells, it will be a devastating blow to the Earth."

Agatha Harkness seems to be kindly reminding Ronan.

Ronan glanced at her and couldn't help but purse his lips.

Is she giving me a reminder?

She was telling Ronan that the magic here was very powerful, and some of it couldn't be learned, but she didn't say that the other parts couldn't be learned.

She never mentioned that she would succumb to temptation after being seduced by Sithon.

Sure enough, he's stingy and doesn't look like a good person at all!

Ronan greeted Agatha Harkness's family and friends again, and then returned the greeting.

"Don't worry, if Sithon can't come to Earth, I won't let him have his way!"

Ronan emphasized the word "he," so it's unclear whether he was referring to her or him.

After replying, Ronan stopped looking at Agatha Harkness's expression and instead turned his gaze to the Dark Book in front of him.

What unknown secrets are recorded in this book known as the Book of the Dead?

I've been meeting up with some friends out of town recently, and I'm typing this on my phone, so please forgive any typos.

But I also have to say, I didn't forget to write for everyone while I was traveling; I'm even a bit too diligent!!!
