The years of welding at Hogwarts

This meeting was so abrupt that Noah, who was completely unprepared to meet Bald Qiang, didn't know what to say for a moment.

The two of them fell silent.

In the end, it was Noah who lost his temper first. He scratched his head and said, "Well, Mr. Gu Yi, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I am very busy recently, so I will not stay to have tea with you..."

However, Gu Yi just looked at Noah with an expression that was completely unpredictable, neither smiling nor smiling, with no intention of letting him leave nor any intention of speaking.

Until half a minute later.

"Teacher, could you please stop trying to read my mind?"

Noah, who had been replaying the ghost material in his mind for half a minute, couldn't help but say, "Although you are the mentor who guided me on the path of magic, this is really offensive and disrespectful."

The gambler's rock song "All my people" was still echoing in his ears. Although Guang Touqiang still had that half-smile on his face, the slightly raised corners of his mouth had become a little stiff without him noticing.

Gu Yi put away the small folding fan in his hand, "Your behavior will bother me a lot."

"What behavior?" Noah asked knowingly.

"I've prepared some tea, why don't we drink while we chat?"

……

A few minutes later, in the main hall of Kamar-Taj, which is also the daily residence of Ancient One, a big shot in the magical world.

Facing the big boss Ancient One pouring tea himself, Noah still felt a little restrained even though he hadn't seen this life mentor who selflessly opened up all his knowledge to him for thirteen years.

Even though the expression on her face was always kind.

But for some reason, the scene before him always made Noah feel as if the other party was playing the good cop when he was being tortured in the police station.

As the absurd idea of ​​"leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist" emerged in Noah's mind, he suddenly felt that the ancient palace he was in had changed and became more like a cold detention center.

"It seems that you have had a very wonderful journey after leaving Kamar-Taj."

Gu Yi held up the cup, "A good harvest?"

After carefully reviewing the huge foundation he had built during his ten years in London, Noah nodded and said, "Now I am also the Supreme Mage who protects a world."

This is not a lie. After all, the Sorcerer Supreme stationed at the Hogwarts branch is still the Sorcerer Supreme, although his Kamar-Taj is as sloppy as a child's playhouse compared to his counterparts in the parallel world.

Not even one of the three magic temples had been built, and the average age of the founders, including Noah's actual age in his previous two lives, would not be more than twenty.

The group only has a few dozen magic apprentices who haven't even graduated from magic school and can be shot down by Muggles without any warning.

Our Kamar-Taj branch at Hogwarts is so powerful!

But who can say that a Supreme Sorcerer coming from such a makeshift team is not the Supreme Sorcerer?

Noah's answer surprised Gu Yi.

She raised her eyebrows. "It seems that I still underestimated your achievements."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Noah had a shy smile on his face, but the pride and pride revealed between the lines could not be suppressed.

“I just did a tiny little thing.”

Slowly putting down the empty teacup in his hand, Master Gu Yi once again picked up the kettle with white steam wafting from the spout and poured the boiling hot water into the tea set.

"Then you should be fully aware of the duties of the Supreme Sorcerer?"

Taking the refilled teacup with both hands, Noah realized that his teacher's map of the State of Yan had been unfolded to the end, and was about to reveal its true colors to him.

Noah did not directly answer Ancient One's question.

He knew that the big shot in front of him possessed Marvel's authentic Eye of Agamotto, which allowed him to observe the past and the future like an omniscient god, and read through the possible directions of each timeline like reading a book.

"You've spent many years peering into the future, and by taking action in advance, you've prevented countless terrible possibilities."

Ancient One's eyes flickered slightly, but Noah continued to speak.

"But the more you try to manipulate time and interfere with the original direction of time and space, the more you will cause the world itself to rebound and suffer even more terrible disasters."

Noah just looked at her calmly, "We resist the invasion of the dark dimension, but this does not mean that we must force the universe to operate according to our will."

"The mages of Kamar-Taj defend the laws of nature, not break them, don't they?"

Ancient One did not show any emotional fluctuations in response to Noah's words. It was obvious that he was not surprised that Noah knew so many secrets.

She did not deny the fact stated by Noah because the truth was that.

"It seems that you have already glimpsed some clues about the future in advance, just like me."

"Over and over again, endlessly, sometimes I even began to question whether what I was doing was right. Can I really break the rules without regard for the consequences in order to avoid those huge disasters?"

At this point, Ancient One changed the subject and said, "But there are some things we have to do."

"I can understand your approach, but I just can't understand why you regard it as a heavy mission that must be completed when one of the main duties of the Supreme Sorcerer is to protect the world?"

This time, it was Noah who poured tea for Ancient One. "The more you try to manipulate time, the more you will be fooled by time itself, even if you hold the power of the Time Stone."

"Are you going to persuade me to let the world go its own way?"

A smile appeared on Gu Yi's face. "Or do you just want me to let you do what you want and watch you interfere with the normal operation of this world in various ways?"

As expected, he is an old goblin who has lived for thousands of years.

Even though Noah was thick-skinned, he touched his nose a little embarrassedly at this moment. The little tricks in his mind could not be hidden from the sharp eyes of his teacher.

"I am worried that your body can no longer bear the cost of drawing energy from the dark dimension, so I want to persuade you to stop and have a good rest."

A mysterious smile appeared on Gu Yi's face again, "Since you are so worried about my physical condition..."

A bad premonition arose in Noah's heart.

"But the position of Supreme Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj cannot be left vacant. Perhaps I can trust you and temporarily hand over the position of Supreme Sorcerer to you?"

Noah almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

If he agreed to it hastily, Gu Yi, who was already tired of the heavy burden on his shoulders, might just run away with the bucket, or even turn this temporary position into a permanent one.

"I am a student with limited knowledge and talent and cannot take on such a big responsibility. Why don't you work hard for a few more years and wait for Master Strange to meet his inevitable disaster before I take over your position."

The title of Sorcerer Supreme sounds very awesome, and in the magical world he is basically equated with the Emperor of the Muggle world.

But only those who actually understand the duties and mission of the Supreme Sorcerer know how miserable this throne is. Although the power you possess is great enough to occupy all the resources of the entire magical world openly, no matter how rich and glorious it is, you have to be alive to enjoy it.

Look at the Ancient One, and then look at Doctor Strange...

The former has silently devoted hundreds of years to the stability of this world, constantly absorbing the energy of the dark dimension to maintain longevity. Even though he appears to be calm on the surface, his heart has actually been corroded by the darkness, and he only relies on his extremely strong willpower to suppress it.

Decades ago, Ancient One had been eager to find a suitable successor, and after giving up his position as the Sorcerer Supreme, he went to find Eternal Chatter, one of the five great gods of creation.

As for the latter, he had just been forced into the miserable position of the Sorcerer Supreme by his predecessor, and now he had to face the dimensional demon Dormammu as a fledgling mage apprentice.

After performing at least tens of thousands of fancy deaths in the dark dimension, Dormammu finally felt bored.

The plan to invade Earth was subsequently abandoned.

In addition to defending against enemies from other dimensions, one must also guard against traitors appearing within one's own ranks. Even comrades who once fought side by side on the battlefield may come knocking on one's door for various reasons.

I'm talking about you! Wanda looking for her relatives!

When Noah heard that Gu Yi was about to pass on the blame, he immediately stood up and said, "I just remembered that Tony Stark has something to talk to me about, so I won't bother you anymore..."

Gu Yi, who was sitting in the same place, still looked as if she was leisurely sipping from the teacup, but this time, the expression on her face carried a hint of hidden threat.

"Ok?"

There were slight fluctuations in the surrounding space, and Noah could sense that he had been pulled into the mirror space by Master Ancient One.

Of course, if Gu Yi really wanted to attack him, with his magical attainments, he would be able to completely eliminate the fluctuations caused by the use of the mirror space.

Noah didn't even feel anything unusual.

Even if Noah was at the peak of his strength, he was still not strong enough for Baldy Qiang to defeat with one hand, not to mention that his current strength is only one percent of what it used to be.

So he wisely chose to follow his heart, "It seems that what Stark wants to talk to me about is not that urgent..."

After sitting back on the cushion silently, Noah, with a frustrated look on his face, stared at Bald Qiang with a resentful look. Bald Qiang seemed to be a kind mentor, but in fact he was extremely dark and unscrupulous in his heart.

"Okay, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Noah just looked like a bad guy and spread out his palms like an unreasonable gangster.

"My current physical condition doesn't seem like I can be the Sorcerer Supreme. If you insist on giving me this responsibility, we might end up having dinner together in the Dark Dimension tomorrow."

"I can heal you..."

Without waiting for Gu Yi to finish his words, Noah rejected him three times in a row, "Thank you very much, but there is no need for that. I am now a useless person who only eats and waits for death. Just let me enjoy my old age in peace and quiet."

The corners of Gu Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

This little devil...

Why did she get angrier the more she looked at him, as if she wanted to hang him up and give him a good beating?

At the age of twelve, you're already thinking about lying down and enjoying your old age. Where do you put an old man like me who has dedicated thousands of years to the position of Supreme Sorcerer?

Even if you have been a human for three lifetimes, your actual ages added together are not even a fraction of mine!

The palm that had been raised was finally put down. Master Ancient One turned her palm over, and a tiny bit of green fluorescence appeared in the palm of her hand.

The next second, the Eye of Agamotto appeared on her palm.

No, that was not the original Eye of Agamotto, but the youthful version that Noah had made using the tiny fragments of the Time Stone he had collected.

After being thrown into a cave in the vast desert by a wormhole created by the tearing and distortion of space, Noah discovered that his youthful version of the Eye of Agamotto was missing.

When Noah was fighting his way out of the encirclement with his two burdens, he couldn't find any trace of this thing. He thought that this thing would never be found again, but he didn't expect that it fell into the hands of Gu Yishou.

Noah coughed twice, pretending to be confused, "This gift is too expensive."

No matter how well-mannered Ancient One was, he couldn't help but raise his hand and give Noah a slap. "I don't ask you to fulfill the duties of the Supreme Sorcerer. I just need you to help me deal with some trivial matters during this time."

Noah didn't believe that every letter and even punctuation mark that came out of Bald Qiang's mouth was never big or small when it came to the Sorcerer Supreme. They were all trouble.

But after taking a look around, Noah felt that he had no room for refusal.

Chapter 357 Natalie Roshman

On that day, no one knew what kind of humiliating and unequal treaty Noah was forced to sign under the coercion of Kamar-Taj and Baldy Wang.

"Old thief, you bullied me too much!"

Standing on the street in Kathmandu, Noah angrily threw a thick stack of US dollars in the face of a street vendor, and then, as the other party thanked him profusely, he threw the goods on the carpet.

However, he could only vent the pent-up anger in his heart towards the innocent street vendors.

Even though she knew that the bald man in front of her was strong and her life was already as weak as a candle in the wind, Noah still couldn't muster the courage to draw her sword against Ancient One.

Among these, there is certainly an inseparable relationship between Noah and Ancient One, as there is no conflict of interest or ideology between them.

But the more important point is...

I can’t beat him. I really can’t beat him.

Even when facing Gryffindor, a ruthless man who once held five Infinity Stones and stole a portion of the power of chaos, Noah still had the courage to draw his sword against him.

Of course, that was mainly because Noah knew that using a mortal body to forcibly drive the five gems to open up a new timeline was an act against heaven. Unless Gryffindor was as powerful as the creator god, he would definitely not end up well.

Strong as purple potato

Even a ruthless man like the spirit suffered extremely serious injuries in the process of destroying the gem, and was even so weak that Lei Da Axe didn't even have to use much strength to easily chopped off his head.

And Gryffindor...

The injuries he suffered would only be more serious than Thanos'.

Even though some of Gryffindor's injuries have been healed over the long years, is the damage left by the Infinity Gems so easy to recover from?

However, even such an old, weak and disabled person was able to beat Noah badly, and he had to burn his life to barely fight him on equal terms.

If Noah had not mastered a part of the power of the Time Stone and could use an extremely shameless method to infinitely maintain a desperate state similar to fully activating the Eight Gates, he would most likely have died by now.

But his little tricks were completely useless in front of Ancient One.

The only trump card he can rely on now is the few fragments that were scraped off from the Time Stone, but Bald Qiang holds a complete Infinity Stone in his hand.

Using the power of time to deal with the Ancient One is no different from foolish Potter using the power of time to deal with Snape.

Ancient One: How dare you use my power against me?

Being beaten up and covered in bruises is the least of his worries.

After angrily smashing everything on the carpet to pieces, Noah's eyes, which seemed to be able to spit out tangible flames, stared viciously at another small stall next to him.

The innocent vendor who was targeted trembled all over instantly, and he looked at Noah sincerely with a look that was a mixture of expectation and pleading.
