As the only native guardian on Earth, the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, was classified as SHIELD's top secret a long time ago.
To be precise, when she first appeared and took away the little girl who had awakened the power of elemental magic, her image data was captured by satellites and nearby undamaged cameras.
Later, after being confirmed by the powerful monk Balthazar and Zuo Si himself, Nick Fury listed it as the last trump card that can protect the earth at critical moments like Captain Marvel, and even wanted to develop it into a hero in the Avengers.
One member.
It's a pity that the Master Supreme was completely uninterested in the olive branch extended by SHIELD, and even didn't bother to respond. In the end, he could only let it go.
Of course, Director Lu Dan didn't realize how big the gap between Captain Marvel and the Ancient One was.
Because in his eyes, both of them possess unimaginable power.
It's like taking a test with a score of 100 points. Some people do it because they have exerted their full strength, while others do it because the full score is only 100 points.
If the two were allowed to fight, Carol Danvers would probably die at the hands of the Sorcerer Supreme without even understanding what happened.
Even without using the Time Stone in the Eye of Agamotto, the latter still has too many means and methods to manipulate the former.
As one of the insiders, Coulson didn't know much about the Ancient One. He was limited to the fact that he was the leader of the largest group of magic users on Earth, and at the same time ensured that human society was protected from those malicious dimensional demons and various evil spirits.
The invasion of monsters can be regarded as our own allies to a large extent.
It's just that the other party has been around longer, has a longer history, and has older qualifications. It seems that it still looks down on SHIELD, which knows almost nothing about magic.
He did not understand at all why this ancient being with powerful power suddenly came to him, instead of the new director Maria Hill, or the top leaders of the People's League, which was reorganized from the Security Council.
After all, whether it is contact or cooperation, the latter has the final say.
As for Coulson himself, he is just a relatively high-level agent within the huge organization of SHIELD.
Especially after Nick Fury lost power, he no longer had a reliable backend to take care of everything he did before, and many more sensitive matters had to be handled carefully.
So after hesitating for a moment, he quickly reported the news through the wireless network and obtained authorization from Director Maria Hill.
About a few minutes later, Coulson anxiously led several of his men through the portal and arrived at the magical holy land of Kama Taj.
Looking at the antique buildings and magnificent scenery around them, he and his entourage immediately took out their mobile phones and tried to use satellites to locate the place. However, they found that they could not connect at all. Instead, they found a weird wifi signal.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, obviously confused by this strange situation.
After all, in their stereotype, mages should be a group of mysterious and conservative guys who don't bother to use modern electronic technology products. Instead, they spend all day reading in a room full of ancient books or doing some weird experiments.
.
But this place was completely different from what they knew.
Not only can you see old people wearing wireless headphones listening to chanting scriptures and meditating, but you can also see boys and girls sitting in the corner playing with their mobile phones and laptops and watching funny short videos.
Some people like teachers will also film the process of apprentices casting spells, and then point out their mistakes through playback and correct them.
There is no doubt that they not only keep up with the pace of technological development, but are also at the forefront of the times.
And the way they dress is not uniform. Many young people are wearing casual clothes, tight pants and sneakers. There is even an area dedicated to storing express delivery at the entrance. The piles of packages show that people here often shop online.
The fusion of simplicity and modernity, magic and technology has so many flaws that one doesn’t know where to start.
Ancient One obviously noticed the ghostly expressions on the faces of these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and couldn't help laughing and joking: "Don't you think that Kama Taj will be like a temple, and everyone will live a boring life?"
Life, right?
We are also human beings and have all kinds of entertainment, consumption and pursuit of a better life.
So please put aside your prejudices and just treat this place like a normal boarding school.
Because the vast majority of apprentices only learn magic here, and after mastering a certain amount of knowledge and power, they will leave to do what they want to do.
Only when a major situation occurs, they will be called by the Supreme Mage to gather together to deal with powerful enemies."
"Ordinary boarding schools don't teach dangerous things like magic..."
A female agent stared at the apprentices not far away who were learning to draw circles to open the portal and couldn't help but whisper.
After all, Karma Taj's portal really uses energy to cut space, so sparks are often flying around the edges of the portal.
Moreover, once many unstable portals are suddenly closed, any object caught in the middle will be cut in half immediately, which is a bit scary just looking at it.
However, Coulson relied on his excellent professionalism to realize that the integration of these mages into modern society was actually a rare good thing.
At least there is not much difference in their thoughts and values ​​from ordinary people, and it will be easier to communicate and cooperate in the future.
In this way, a group of people, led by the Supreme Mage, quickly arrived at a place that looked like an attic.
From here, you can see a small courtyard.
At this moment, more than thirty people ranging in age from children around ten years old to adults in their thirties and forties are gathering together, pairing up to release magic that is completely different from that of Master Kama Taj.
One of the little girls just raised her hands in a high gesture, and a giant several meters tall made of solid rock rose up from the ground, raised its arms and smashed down on the boy who was close at hand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But the latter did not show the slightest panic, but instead took out a handful of seeds from his pocket and sprinkled them around.
In a blink of an eye!
Huge vines grew out of the soil at an extremely fast speed, just like a scene from a fairy tale, quickly wrapping around the stone man.
The two sides just kept wrestling around a small area, and it seemed that neither could do anything to the other.
Not far away, there was a young man in his early twenties releasing some kind of dark purple energy, which collided with the black energy controlled by a sixteen-year-old girl, blooming with a dazzling brilliance.
A higher-level agent obviously noticed something, and immediately came closer and said to Coulson: "Sir, these people are all missing persons on that list. Their common feature is that they suddenly awaken their magical power and then get stuck.
The people sent by Ma Taiji took him away."
"Well, I already recognized several of them."
Coulson nodded slightly, and at the same time glanced at Gu Yi out of the corner of his eye, not quite understanding why the other person suddenly brought him to see this.
After all, in the eyes of SHIELD, these people are already considered members of Kama Taj, the largest group of spellcasters on earth.
This status alone is enough to ensure that they will not face any official harassment or difficulty even if they return to society in the future.
"What do you think of them?"
Gu Yi suddenly asked in a confused manner.
"How about what?"
Coulson blinked in confusion.
Ancient One patiently explained: "I am referring to their talent and strength in magic."
"Very good, fully qualified to become a member of the Avengers."
Colson spoke his truest thoughts without thinking.
Because the magic of anyone here is far superior to Hawkeye, Black Widow and Captain America in terms of destructive power and lethality. The only thing they lack may be combat experience.
"What would you do if I gave them to you?"
After going around in circles for a long time, Gu Yi finally revealed his true purpose.
Obviously, she no longer wants to keep these spellcasters who did not belong to Kama Taj, and she does not want them to be involved in the dispute after her death.
Not long ago, she discovered that her good disciple Modo had begun to privately try to influence and win over those ignorant teenagers, and his behavior was exactly the same as Casillas's original behavior.
If we continue to let it go, it may inevitably cause a violent turmoil within Kamal Taj.
"give it to me?!!"
Colson was stunned for a moment, with an expression of shock and disbelief on his face.
You must know that these are dozens of powerful spellcasters who can be used as combat power after being pulled out. They are many times more powerful than those apprentices trained in SHIELD's crash course. It is estimated that the top executives of the People's Federation will laugh out of their dreams when they hear this news.
.
Gu Yi nodded slightly: "Yes.
Because many of them still have parents, children, relatives and friends, they do not belong here at all.
The reason why I brought them back before was mainly to let them learn, adapt and understand the magical power they possess, so as not to lose themselves in the face of the sudden power.
Now these people have regained self-awareness and can use their power calmly without losing control.
Of course, you still need to seek personal advice on how to do it specifically.
In short, it is entirely up to you how to get them back into society."
"Please rest assured that in the name of SHIELD, I promise that I will fully respect everyone's right to choose, and there will never be any threats or coercion."
To be continued...
