There is no such magical clause. It was just an excuse to keep Sona. Obviously Sona didn't understand the law and believed it easily.
Of course, Norman didn't just give Sona a manor worth one-tenth of Osborn's shares just to repay her.
He is a profit-seeking businessman, how could he do business at a loss?
After taking out the tiny communication device from behind her ear, Chris changed her voice and reported: "Mission accomplished, the other party has no suspicion."
"Continue monitoring." The other end said briefly, then cut off the communication, destroying the entire communication equipment.
Chris disposed of the discarded electronic parts and continued walking in the manor...
......
Alas...I'm preparing for the college entrance examination recently, so the updates are very unstable. Please bear with me.
But there should be only about forty people watching... I climbed and climbed.
The story will have an ending, and I will try not to write a chronicle that affects the readers' mood. If you have any opinions while reading, please feel free to raise them. I am open-minded and eager to improve.
In fact, if my grades were better, I would have spent more time on this, but unfortunately it was a failure.
Volume 1: Chapter 105: Strange Seeks Help
"This is too complicated..." Sona rubbed her swollen temples and closed the not-too-thick book "Management".
The content is difficult to summarize, but the whole article revolves around polar reversals. It will certainly take more than a day or two to master it, and you can't just stick to the book and study it.
Moreover, Sona had been in the room for three days, and only Chris had brought her food during this time.
Sure enough, owning a manor is just a matter of moving your residence to a new place, right?
She was originally thinking about returning to SHIELD to resume work, but then she was woken up by Chris's scolding.
After all, Sona is now a person with assets. How can she work for Nick Fury? Chris, the personal maid and housekeeper, immediately decided to help Sona escape from the evil organization like S.H.I.E.L.D.
The process was easy. After all, the labor contract that deceived the ignorant of the law was simply an unequal treaty. Even the judge couldn't stand it. If Chris took it seriously, it would not be a problem for her to blackmail SHIELD for one or two hundred thousand dollars.
Sona is more nostalgic, so she just needs to resign. She is still reluctant to leave her old colleagues at S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Miss, can I come in?" Chris's voice came from outside the door.
Sona plucked the strings and uttered a few simple syllables to express her agreement.
This is a phrase that Sona and Chris had agreed on. Chris's musical talent is really high. It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the different tones of the セkoto. It is not an ordinary koto, and Chris does not seem to be an ordinary maid.
"There's a man who wants to see you. He says he knows you." Chris handed over a tablet showing the real-time image from the surveillance camera at the door.
“Security initially chased him away but he was waiting outside all morning,” Chris added.
Sona looked at the image on the tablet, searching her brain for memories of this man.
The man looked very sloppy, his beard seemed to have been grown for a long time, his hair was messy, and his clothes did not look very decent, only slightly better than those of a homeless person on the street.
Perhaps he was originally a respectable man, because on the outside of his bandaged hands hung a custom-made Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, which was not something that ordinary people could afford.
I don’t know why the camera installed at the door is so clear that even the small scar on the man’s face can be seen clearly.
Seems like she has some impression of him? Sona must have seen this long-faced man before.
I remembered now, it was that doctor who was going to perform surgery on Sona.
The magician's memory was still good, and even though she had only met him a few times, Sona still remembered Doctor Stephen Strange.
It seemed like he was going to perform surgery on Sona at that time.
Why did he come to see her? Sona didn't know, but she didn't refuse. She nodded and signaled Chris to bring him in. After all, Strange had been waiting outside for the whole morning. It would be too rude not to see him.
Go change your clothes. Sona looked down at her casual clothes, which were indeed not suitable for meeting strangers.
Things are different now, Sona's wardrobe is no longer filled with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent uniforms.
In addition to the blue satin dress she always wore, Chris also prepared two containers of clothes and skirts for Sona according to the standards of a princess.
When she was in Demacia, Sona only had a few sets of clothes to change into. How could she have seen such a scene?
Where do we get so much money?
"Don't worry, miss. The manor has sufficient funds."
This conversation between master and servant fully demonstrates that Sona has not yet adapted to her current identity.
In fact, Chris also said that she could manage the manor well, and Sona just had to wait to collect the money. After all, this is not the Middle Ages, and the manor can run on its own even if no one manages it.
But Sona insisted on trying it herself, and Chris had no reason to dissuade her.
Anyway, even if a newbie who knows nothing is operating it, it would be difficult to ruin the arranged manor.
Sona wore a light-colored suit and a beige sweater on the outside, so she didn't need to wear a coat if she was at home.
Maybe it’s because Christmas is approaching, the temperature has started to drop in many places in New York City.
After fixing her hair at the dressing table, Sona went downstairs to meet Strange.
Seeing Strange again, Sona found it hard to associate the man in front of her with the doctor she had met before.
Seeing Sona, Strange seemed to see hope.
"Please! Save me!" It is hard to imagine that such words would come out of the mouth of Strange, who is known as a genius doctor, almost choking with sobs.
He was really desperate.
Stephen Strange always has an inexplicable sense of arrogance when dealing with people. He is originally an academic genius, masters multiple languages, and has a high level of artistic attainments.
Moreover, there are very few surgeons who can perform micro-sculpture surgeries like him. This is why many people, although they dislike him, can only tolerate his bad temper and treat him with a smile.
After all, if something unexpected happened and I was pushed onto Strange's operating table again, and I happened to have some grudge against him, then the people waiting outside the operating room would not be my family, but a professional team in black.
Everyone has the worst few days in their life, just like when Mr. King witnessed his parents being shot to death by gangsters in an alley, when Superman had to watch his adoptive father die tragically in a tornado in order not to expose his identity, and when Aquaman's mother was taken away by her tribe when he was a child.
(Wait, is there something DC has that is wrong about superheroes?)
Strange was experiencing his own suffering at this time.
When the Chirita army invaded, he was performing an operation in New York. Although there were alarms and gunfire outside, Strange still concentrated his attention on the operating table, holding the scalpel steadily.
He has his reasons for being arrogant. Strange still maintains a 100% success rate in surgery, and he will not allow any failure to occur on his operating table.
Of course, Strange would directly refuse patients who were obviously hopeless.
But the accident still happened. A Leviathan crashed into the hospital building, and the collapsed rocks hit the operating table directly, taking his life and crushing Strange's hands.
It was four or five hours later that Strange was carried out of the rubble. After a consultation with many experts and an eleven-hour operation, they finally saved Strange's life and avoided the need for amputation.
But damage to the nerve cells in both hands is fatal to a surgeon; it would be worse than letting him die directly.
Strange was frantic to find a way to restore his hands. He spent a lot of money on a meaningless operation and contacted friends in the medical field to ask for their help.
Although he knew very well that even if his past self performed the surgery on his present self, there was no 100% guarantee of recovery, the fact that he was still alive was already a medical miracle.
There was still no improvement in Strange's hands. In the past, he could stroll around the garden holding a full bowl of water without spilling a drop, and he could also use a 16x AK scope to shoot heads every time when playing PUBG. But now, he even had difficulty holding a pen to write his own name.
Originally, Strange wanted to go to Tokyo to use the advanced medical technology there to implant nanoparticles in his hands, but he had no money left. He mortgaged his house to do the surgery, and sold his car and watch to find a new way to recover. The only valuable thing left on his body was the watch.
In desperation, Strange thought of another medical miracle.
The amazing woman who had broken bones all over her body and was discharged from the hospital on the first day after waking up.
Although Sona's information was not made public, Strange still found out Sona's current address.
How can I save you? Sona wrote on the clipboard.
Watching Strange slowly remove the gauze on his hand, Sona probably guessed the reason.
Sona quietly used magic to sense the red hands and shook her head secretly.
It was horrific. The bones of both hands were like a jigsaw puzzle, pieced together using modern medical methods. They looked as unsightly as defective products.
I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help you.
The words on the clipboard dealt Strange a heavy blow.
Although she didn't have the heart to tell Strange, Sona did not hide the truth.
Magic is not omnipotent. The healing energy of Aria of Fortitude is very effective for external wounds and can also treat internal organ ruptures, but what was damaged in Strange's case were his nerve cells, which is a fundamental destruction and irreversible.
To put it simply, Strange's full health bar originally had 100 drops, but now it has become 75 drops. Sona's W cannot help him increase his health limit, and Sona cannot further heal Strange's hand.
"No...Impossible...This is impossible! You must have a way!" Strange was a little out of control, he couldn't accept the fact.
It’s true that Sona’s injuries at that time were much more serious than Strange’s, but it was the power of the Rune of Resolve that healed her, not her own magical power.
Ordinary people may be able to use the power of the Rune Cornerstone, but they will eventually be devoured by that powerful force, and either become demons like the Vengeful Flame Spirit, or be directly decomposed and wiped out.
Sona herself hasn't understood the rune cornerstone, so how dare she use it on others easily?
"I have nothing left, please help me! I will give you whatever you want in the future!" Strange believed that Sona must have a way to heal himself, but the price was too high and it was not worth her effort.
Lord, is there any way? Sona looked at Strange's pitiful appearance and still felt a little sorry for him.
"Yes." The Overlord replied immediately, as if it had been paying attention to this matter from the beginning.
"In fact, compared to you, I would rather have him be my carrier." The master's tone was full of regret.
What does that mean? Sona was puzzled.
"People with higher magical talents are more able to comprehend runes. This human has a higher talent than you."
"As long as you let him enter the door of magic, the power of the rune cornerstone will be difficult to harm him."
If you have a high enough talent for magic, can you control runes?
"Not necessarily, but at least he won't die."
The conversation ended quickly, and Sona turned her attention back to Strange, thinking about how to explain this to him.
The fact that he can do magic was covered up by SHIELD under the guise of high technology, and ordinary people still don't know that there is magic in the world.
Will she lead him to the door of magic? Sona thought of her experience of learning magic in Ionia.
Because she was born mute, her process of learning magic was much more difficult than others.
However, Ionia is a magical place. Even a blind person can gain magical powers. While learning ordinary magic, Sona also learned a little about elemental magic. It's just that she doesn't use it very often, and the Sekkotsu cannot be used as a tool to cast elemental magic.
With what Sona has learned, it shouldn't be difficult to teach someone with a higher magical talent than herself...right?
Volume 1: Chapter 106 Ancient One: Eh? Where's my apprentice?
Sona returned to her room and took out the unsealed secret book that had not been touched for a long time.
As soon as she opened it, more than a dozen summoner skills fell out. The Overlord had already explained its principles, and Sona was no longer surprised. She bent down to pick up all the magic scrolls and put them in the violin case for future use.
Strange has been arranged to stay here first, and Sona also told him that she can help him recover his hands.
However, magic is not so easy to learn. Sona now has to prepare some textbooks for him. The reason why she took the unsealed secret book is that it can be written directly with mental power, which is much faster than handwriting.
There are many magic systems in Valoran, but Sona only masters two types, mystical magic and elemental magic.
The principle of esoteric magic is mainly to use oneself as the source of magical energy and call upon the stored magical energy in a special way to achieve the effect of serving oneself. Generally speaking, esoteric magic will not have much lethality.
The principles of elemental magic are different. It requires the magician to communicate with the natural elements around them. When releasing skills, they do not use the magical energy stored in their bodies, but instead gather the surrounding elemental energy to achieve a plastic effect. This is why elemental mages take the terrain into consideration when fighting.
An ordinary fire magician would not be so stupid as to go into the sea to cause trouble for the mermaids.
However, the most important thing for these two systems is to have enough mental strength, which is the blue bar.
Mental strength determines the strength of a magician. If you are not mentally strong enough, you cannot learn magic. So let's find a set of Wangzai's red tights first...
No, no, you got the wrong script.
She first engraved the breathing method to increase her mental strength into the unsealed secret book. Sona also added some understanding of the principles of mystical magic and elemental magic, but did not engrave other skills.
Why don't you teach Strange some spells? Are you afraid that he will do something wrong?
In fact, this is not necessary, because after each magician masters the magical energy, he must try to study a set of skills of his own. It is not like in the game, where only designated skills can be learned at a certain level.
Just like Annie and Brand are both fire elemental mages, but their skill effects are different.
Sona's own zither magic was also created by her through the combination of the sezana and mystical magic. Even if other magicians have a magical instrument, they cannot replicate Sona's unique skills.
(Silas: Your skills may be great, but the next second it will be mine!)
Sona only taught Strange some basics so that he could improve his mental strength to withstand the overgrowth of the Cornerstone of Resolve. As for whether he is interested in going further and further on the path of magic, it depends on his own thoughts. Anyway, as long as he doesn't do bad things, it's fine.
Probably... just carve these first. Sona checked it again and again, then tore off the engraved pages and made them into a parchment scroll, waiting to give it to Strange the next day.
I don't know how long it will take Strange to master these.
Sona was still a little curious about the higher talents that the Overmind mentioned. It took her more than a month to master these basics, and because she couldn't make a sound, the chanting steps had to be modified. She wondered if Strange could be faster?
