Hogwarts professor in Marvel

why?

He could actually smell alcohol.

The Supreme Sorcerer is drinking!

The thought flashed through his mind, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was a little bitter, but soon turned into sweetness.

The fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

At the same time, Lockhart's heart fell into a state of emptiness, and he felt as if his soul was being baptized in some way.

After a while...

"Good tea! Good tea! Really good tea!"

Lockhart commented three times in a row that the tea was good.

It is indeed good tea with excellent taste. It can cleanse one's mind and soul, and past sorrows and worries seem to be swept away.

It's not about simply forgetting, but about gently sweeping away those emotions like dust.

Allow yourself to face problems with a healthier and more positive attitude.

"This tea tree has been with me for more than 3000 years, and I have used various methods to extend its life." Gu Yi seemed to be recalling.

"Since you like it so much, I'll give this tea tree to you."

At this point, Ancient One blinked his eyes and said jokingly: "Lockhart, please don't let me kill you!"

Hearing this, Lockhart solemnly picked up the teacup again, drank it in one gulp, and said firmly, as if declaring some kind of oath.

"Don't worry, as long as I am alive, this tea tree will never die."

Hearing this, Ancient One smiled and poured Lockhart a cup of tea, jokingly saying, "Tea trees are not as important as human lives."

"Only by living can there be hope!"

There seemed to be both relief and expectation in Gu Yi's tone.

When Lockhart heard this, he opened his mouth to say something.

However, Gu Yi simply waved his hand to interrupt.

"Lockhart, now is the time to tell you something."

"I'm dying!"

Chapter 694 Kamar-Taj is handed over to you

Ancient One is dying!

Hearing this, Lockhart's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly, then slowly put it down.

He felt neither surprise nor panic.

he knows!

He knew it a long time ago.

But he wasn't being pretentious now.

He just stared calmly at Ancient One opposite him.

"Sorcerer Supreme, where do you plan to go after you die?" Lockhart seemed to be discussing with an old friend about where to travel.

The tone was calm and mixed with a hint of curiosity.

Staring at Lockhart's calm face.

Ancient One laughed, a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha……"

The expression on his face when he laughed was so exaggerated that he almost slammed the table and said "congratulations".

The laughter seemed to spread throughout the tea room.

Soon, Gu Yi restrained the smile on his face, but his tone was still mixed with ease and joy.

“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”

"Every day that passed, every time I wanted to leave, I was a little worried."

"After all, a mother raises her children for more than ten years, and she regards the military as her treasure."

"and I?"

"It has been with Kamar-Taj for thousands of years."

Gu Yi would feel a little emotional.

Lockhart did not respond, but just listened patiently to what the old man had to say.

Yes, old man.

Although he looks young, he has actually lived for thousands of years.

What is carried in one's heart is beyond measure.

"I have been in Kamar-Taj for most of these thousands of years."

"Every time I look at the apprentice mages trained by Kamar-Taj, I feel gratified but sad at the same time."

"why?"

Gu Yi's tone fluctuated a little, and he seemed a little emotional, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I have seen and experienced life and death"

"But I cannot bear to see my mages treated like wheat."

"They spent their lives guarding world peace."

“I am very pleased about this.”

"But it's hard for me to accept that they can't rest in peace after they die."

“This is not just once or twice.”

“Not a hundred or a thousand times.”

"It has been like this for thousands of years!"

At this point, Ancient One's tone began to become dull and serious.

And Lockhart also spoke to comfort him: "Don't worry, Sorcerer Supreme."

“Everything will change for the better.”

"At least I can do it while I'm alive."

At the end, Lockhart's tone was very firm, as if he was making a promise and swearing something.

Neither side seemed to talk about the mage's future, but the conversation was all about this.

Very good understanding.

"Lockhart, you are very smart and talented." Ancient One praised: "However, in the history of Kamar-Taj, some smart or talented wizards are born every few hundred years."

"Do you know why I am optimistic about you?"

Lockhart shook his head curiously.

I saw Ancient One's right hand gently brushing across his neck, and the Eye of Agamotto slowly floated forward.

As the bronze shell on the surface, which looks like an eye, slowly rotates, a green light shines.

Then a green gem emitting a mysterious aura appeared.

"This is the Eye of Agamotto, or the Time Stone." Ancient One stared into Lockhart's eyes and said quietly, "He has the ability to observe the future."

"As the Supreme Sorcerer, with the Eye of Agamotto, I can see into the future and the past."

"Everything in the past is like a blank sheet of paper in a book, and can be consulted at any time."

"The future is like the lines on your palm, endless."

"Lockhart, tell me, with such a treasure, Kamar-Taj is naturally invincible."

The Ancient One asked calmly, looking into Lockhart's eyes.

"Of course." Lockhart nodded slightly, agreeing with Ancient One.

however……

"But, in the nearly endless future, I can't find the way forward for the Kamar-Taj wizard."

“Either perish, decline, or become the bloody wheat waiting to be harvested like now.”

Ancient One's tone was somewhat melancholy, and Lockhart remained silent.

He seemed to know the reason.

"There is no hope, which makes people feel desperate!"

Gu Yi said this, and then her tone changed.

"But recently I discovered something very interesting."

"In this endless future, I don't see you."

Ancient One observed the expression on Lockhart's face with great interest.

After hearing this, Lockhart showed an expectant look on his face and opened his mouth to say something.

But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Ancient One: "Lockhart, everyone has their own secrets, including me."

“I don’t want to know why.”

"However, I very much hope that your presence can bring a new future to Kamar-Taj."

At this point, Ancient One seemed to sigh: "I don't know if this is a curse that can see through the future."

"Everything I've seen, without exception, is a dead end."

“I hope you can be different.”

Gu Yi didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning behind his words was very clear.

"So, Sorcerer Supreme, where are you going?"

After a moment's silence, Lockhart asked his original question again.

Because this issue is very important to him.

After hearing this, Ancient One smiled and seemed to know what Lockhart was thinking.

"I have signed a contract before, and now it is time to fulfill it."

"I'm afraid I can't help you anymore."

Ancient One's words made Lockhart frown.

"Is it really of no help at all?" Lockhart asked again.

You're thinking too highly of me by dumping this huge mess on me.

However, Ancient One just touched the Eye of Agamotto in front of him with his fingertips and pushed it gently.

The Eye of Agamotto floated in the air, slowly drifting towards Lockhart.

"The Eye of Agamotto. This is the last thing I leave for you."

"As for the help you want, I'm afraid I'm powerless."

At this point, Lockhart sighed.

However, immediately afterwards, Ancient One reached out and grabbed the Eye of Agamotto in front of him, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"Of course, I certainly can't help you after I die."

"After all, I'm dead."

"But it's another matter when you're alive."

"He is the Supreme Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj after all. Ordinary mages would die in battle."
