Chapter 8: 8
What comes into view after passing through the door is not a hall, but a huge square paved with blue stone.
I came directly to Kamar-Taj.
The Asian magician led the way. Kaito and Lala looked around curiously. They saw people in robes practicing magic one after another. Many people gathered together and stretched out their hands to draw circles. As they drew circles, sparks occasionally flew out from the void in front of them. Kaito knew that they were practicing Kama Taji introductory magic, the kind of magic that opens a portal. Lala was also very curious and asked Kaito, "Kaito, what are they doing?"
"They are practicing," the Asian monk replied.
Kaito nodded, and Lala just said "oh", but she still watched the scene curiously. Then, they arrived at a house that looked like a Chinese pavilion. The magician welcomed Lala and Kaito. When they reached a door, the magician knocked and said, "Supreme Magician, I brought people here."
"Come in." An old man's gentle voice came from inside.
Kaito narrowed his eyes when he heard the voice. The movie version of the Elder was a woman and her strength was very weak. However, he had heard that the original Elder in the comics was a very powerful man. The voice he heard now was that of an elderly man. Could this be the comic version of the Elder?
I pushed open the door and walked in, and sure enough I saw a kind-looking old man with a beard sitting there.

"Wang, you go down first," the old man said to the magician who brought Kaito and Lala.
The man nodded and left, closing the door behind him.
Lala looked around curiously and then asked the Elder, "Are you the Sorcerer Supreme?"
Gu Yi looked at Lala and smiled, "You can call me Gu Yi."
Lala smiled and nodded, then introduced herself, "Hello! My name is Lala!"
"I'm Kaito." Kaito also introduced himself.
Gu Yi looked at the two of them with a smile, then stretched out his hand and said, "Please have a seat."
Cushions suddenly appeared behind Kaito and Lala, and then a coffee table appeared in front of them. Steam wafted over the hot tea on the table. Gu Yi said with a smile, "People like to drink hot tea when they get old. Do you two want something to drink? Coke or Sprite will do!"
He smiled and said, "Although I'm old, I still know some internet slang. Do you like the happy water of fat otakus?"
While they were talking, Coke and Sprite appeared in front of Lala and Kaito.
Kaito: "..."
This was completely different from the scene he had imagined. This Elder's majesty seemed a little lacking.
The Elder seemed to understand what he was thinking. He smiled at him, acted majestically, and his voice became deeper: "You two young friends have come to Kamar-Taj. I imagine you have something to say to an old man like me?"
"Didn't you ask us to come here?" Lala asked curiously.
Gu Yi smiled and said, "Then you two young friends should know why I asked you to come here."
"What's the reason?" Lala asked directly.
Gu Yi looked at Kaito and said, "This young friend should know clearly."
Lala also looked at Kaito curiously.
Kaito nodded: "Elder Master, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Gu Yi smiled, nodded and said: "You two little friends came from another world, so I hope you two little friends won't play around in this world anymore, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel, so please keep quiet and leave when necessary, don't stay anywhere, otherwise you won't be able to return unharmed."
Kaito: "..."
You are really not polite at all.
"Do I have any authority now?" Suddenly, Gu Yi's smiling voice sounded again.
Kaito was speechless for a moment. That guy had definitely peeked into his heart just now. As he thought of this, Gu Yi shook his head again, "Don't frame me. I don't have the habit of peeking into people's hearts!"
Kaito: "..."
Do you still say no?
"Seriously not." Gu Yi shook his head seriously.
Kaito didn't know what to say.
The Elder smiled and stroked his beard: "Alright, enough joking around. The multiverse is so large that it's normal for invaders to come. As long as you don't meddle here and don't cause irreparable damage to the world, you can live here. I still welcome you."
"The more races there are, the more animated the world becomes. I love animation!" he said with a smile.
Then he looked at Kaito again and said, "But you two don't have any money, right? You can't survive in this world without money! Do you want me to help you with some money?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Lala raised her hand immediately.
Gu Yi laughed: "No!"
Lala: "..."
Kaito: "..."
So what are you talking about!
"Isn't My Majesty older now?" Gu Yi asked Kaito with a smile.
Kaito's eyes twitched and he said, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Do you want some wool?" A ball of wool appeared in front of Kaito.
Kaito was completely speechless as he held the wool. The Elder looked at him again and said, "I feel the power of time and space in your body. It was born from the depths of your soul. Although it is very weak, it is also a seed. Are you willing to learn magic from me?"
Kaito was stunned for a moment: "Can I?"
And the subject changed so quickly, didn't it? I wasn't prepared at all.
"Of course… no!" Gu Yi shook his head.
Kaito was speechless again. What do you mean? Is it fun to play pranks on people?
"It's fun," Gu Yi said with a smile.
Kaito really wanted to hit him, but he held himself back in the end. Gu Yi said with a smile, "Don't forget that you are from another world. As the guardian of this land, how can I teach you magic as a person from another world? What if you use it to deal with people from our world after learning it? Then you better give up on that idea!"
Kaito: "..."
"…Then can we go now?" Kaito said helplessly.
Gu Yi looked at him curiously: "You still want to leave without money? Aren't you afraid that you'll be hungry after you leave?"
Kaito was helpless, what do you mean?
The Elder stroked his beard again: "Forget it, I'll teach you a magic."
Kaito's heart was moved again, but he quickly calmed down, because this might be another bad taste from Gu Yi, so he shouldn't think too much about it.
"This time it's real," Gu Yi said with a smile.
Kaito looked at him: "You lied to me?"
"I never lie." Gu Yi shook his head seriously.
Kaito: "..."
So what were you doing now? Were you joking?
"Just kidding." Gu nodded.
Kaito is really speechless.
