NOVEL WEB Chapter 64
Even the Ancient One didn’t expect Lu Yuan to be so flexible that he even worshiped her as a teacher in order to learn her magic.
But in Lu Yuan’s opinion, this was nothing at all.
Why should she teach him magic?
He wasn’t the kind of person who would get angry easily, so he naturally wouldn’t do something like bullying others.
Tony gave Lu Yuan shares and salary because he could help Tony.
However, what about Ancient One?
It was still the same question. Why should she teach him?
The Ancient One had already given Lu Yuan a lot of face by letting him read those magic books casually.
However, Lu Yuan knew that he was a layman. If he really wanted to master magic, the Sorcerer Supreme in front of him was the best master. In that case, he wouldn’t lose a piece of meat even if he became her disciple. What was he afraid of?
Just like that, Lu Yuan became a disciple of the Ancient One and temporarily stayed at Kamar-Taj.
He had already made up his mind to learn magic before going down the mountain.
During that time, he also called Tony and told him about his situation.
When Tony learned that there was actually magic in the world and the legend about Kamar-Taj was actually true, he also became interested in coming over. However, Lu Yuan stopped him.
The Sorcerer Supreme, Iron Man?
Well, Tony did become the Sorcerer Supreme in a certain comic, but he was just going to be Iron Man for now.
The next morning after Lu Yuan came to Kamar-Taj, a person broke into his room.
“Hello, my name is Mordo, and I’m your senior brother,” The man greeted the awakened Lu Yuan with a smile. It seemed that he did it on purpose.
Lu Yuan endured the urge to kill Baron Mordo, who would become a villain in the future, sat up and asked, “What’s the matter?”
He didn’t care if the other person was his senior brother or not. He only cared about learning magic from the Ancient One, who had become his master.
Mordo did not care. He did not know Lu Yuan’s dangerous thoughts.
“Mage Ancient One wants us to come over,” Mordo directly called Ancient One’s name.
This was how the name was used here. They added the word mage to the name of the other party to show respect.
“Okay~~,” Lu Yuan had no choice but to get up. Since it was too late to freshen up, he just put on his clothes and went out with Mordo.
When he arrived at the courtyard outside, Lu Yuan saw that many people had already gotten up, and they were training under the leadership of some people.
It seemed like Lu Yuan had gotten up too late.
These were the disciples that Kamar-Taj had recruited, and it seemed that there were a lot of people that had magical talent.
The Ancient One was also not too harsh. As long as there were not too many defects in the character, she would accept.
Unless they were like Doctor Stranger, who had to be trained heavily and had a huge personality flaw, they would only be polished a little bit.
“Did you get up?”
When Lu Yuan followed Mordo to a corner of the yard, Ancient One, who also got up long ago, dressed in a dashing robe and held a folding fan in her hand to fan herself, asked jokingly, “Did you sleep comfortably?”
Lu Yuan shrugged. Should he say that he had slept in the core of the sun for 100,000 years?
“It’s okay, but it’s a pity we can’t have a drink.”
Both Mordo and Ancient One had a black line on their faces.
What kind of place do you think this is? A bar? He even wanted a drink. To think he would say something like this.
“There is tea,” the Ancient One said casually. Her tea-making skills were a masterpiece.
Lu Yuan shook his head. He had just woken up. Why would he drink tea? He had heard that drinking tea without eating breakfast was worse than a hangover.
“Then let’s begin,” Ancient One nodded at Mordo.
Lu Yuan was confused. Begin what?
Soon, he saw that Mordo suddenly condensed energy between his hands, formed a whip, and swung it.
Lu Yuan subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed it. Then he pulled Mordo over and kicked him.
Mordo let out a muffled groan and flew dozens of meters before hitting the ground.
The Ancient One opened her mouth wide and asked, “What are you doing?”
Lu Yuan just felt confused: “Why did he attack me?”
The Ancient One sighed: “He was demonstrating. Didn’t you see how he did it?”
Well, it turned out that Mordo didn’t intend to attack him. He was just joking. In fact, Mordo was not going to hit Lu Yuan because he had aimed at the floor next to him.
Lu Yuan pretended to be innocent.
The Ancient One was helpless. She could not do anything because it was indeed Mordo who had caused trouble first.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan didn’t use too much force. Otherwise, Mordo would have to be carried away.
After a long time, Mordo returned with lingering fear.
Holding his stomach, Mordo alertly stood at a distance and asked Lu Yuan, “What are you? Why are you so strong?”
Lu Yuan secretly laughed in his heart. Not to mention Mordo, even Abomination and Hulk had been beaten by him and they were unable to resist.
“Alright, give it a try.” Mordo didn’t argue with Lu Yuan. At least, he didn’t dare to joke around this time. He stood in the distance and demonstrated for Lu Yuan once again.
Mordo put both of his hands together and then separated them, revealing a whip made of pure energy.
Lu Yuan nodded silently and followed Mordo’s movements. He successfully formed a whip in just one try.
Moreover, the whip in Lu Yuan’s hand was much thicker than Mordo’s. It looked like a real whip.
Mordo looked at Ancient One, who nodded and said, “His talent is indeed beyond my imagination. It seems that we can’t use normal methods. Mage Mordo, take him to the library and let him read books.”
“Wait a minute, didn’t you agree to teach me personally?” Lu Yuan was unhappy. If he was dismissed just like this, wouldn’t he have accepted a master for nothing?
Wasn’t he going to get Ancient One’s personal guidance?
The Ancient One smiled. “You, do you want to run before you’ve learned to walk? You don’t even know the basics of magic. Even if you want to learn advanced magic, you have to go through the basics first.”
Lu Yuan felt that the Ancient One was right and finally went to the library that he had visited yesterday.
Looking at the densely packed bookshelves and magic books once again, Lu Yuan felt his scalp was tingling.
However, he had no choice but to follow Mordo.
The books in the first row were the most basic ones. Lu Yuan would need to read them first. They recorded the most basic information about magic, something similar to philosophy.
At the same time, some of these books also recorded some spells.
Mordo placed the books in Lu Yuan’s hand one by one. Lu Yuan held them with both hands and there were a dozen books.
Was he going to ask Lu Yuan to read them until late at night?
Lu Yuan sighed and said: “If I have to read all these books by myself, I really should not have worshiped the master yesterday. That said, what exactly is the point of this master?”
Mordo laughed and thought, didn’t you worship the master yourself?
Mordo continued to explain: “All these books and the contents that you see have been collected by Master Ancient One for so many years, and she has personally compiled and annotated them.”
Although he didn’t say it, he still didn’t approve of Lu Yuan’s words in his heart. If there were no contributions from the predecessors, how could future generations enjoy peace of mind?
