Acquaintance

With a series of magical tricks, Stephen Strange knelt on the ground and raised his trembling hands, begging the Ancient One to teach him magic, but he was thrown out. The Ancient One was very hesitant, because she was sure that Stephen Strange was a genius, but a genius mage had just defected.

She turned to Wesley now and asked with a smile, "Wesley? Can you tell me about yourself now?"

"What do you want to know?" Wesley put down the teacup he had just finished and looked at Ancient One.

"I can't see through you," Ancient One said. She could see through Stephen Strange just now, including what he had experienced, and then she tried to test his talent and temperament, but these made her very hesitant, and Wesley he could not see through at all.

"Can't you read my mind?" Wesley asked. He was curious about how Ancient One knew about Stephen Strange. He didn't know if it was reading his mind or fate. He wanted to know.

"I can see it on your face. Are you interested?" Ancient One asked.

"No, let me introduce myself. My name is Wesley Gibson. I am currently the chairman of two public companies, and I am also an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. In addition, I am also a member of the Avengers. My purpose here is to study and learn ancient knowledge. I don't know if Master Ancient One can help me?" Wesley said calmly.

Ancient One didn't respond right away, but carefully observed Wesley's expression. She had seen a lot of people over the centuries, but this was the first time he had seen Wesley like this, and he couldn't say what it felt like. Confident? Sincere? Or had he calculated everything?

It wasn't much of a feeling, but at least she thought Wesley wasn't lying. But she couldn't see through him. She couldn't see through him at all. It was as if something had wrapped around him and no external force could intervene.

In fact, Gu Yi did not care how Wesley got here. There were always some people with extraordinary abilities in this world, and the other party had already identified himself. It would not be difficult for SHIELD and the Avengers to find this place.

After staring at Wesley for a long time, Ancient One said, "Yes, but becoming a sorcerer requires the same responsibility as being a sorcerer. I wonder if you agree?"

"That depends on what kind of responsibility it is, but I think the guy outside is not bad." Wesley didn't agree immediately. Wizards need to guard the temple. He can't have time to guard some temple. Wesley is very busy.

"Well, it seems that you are a little busy. We will discuss your duty later. But I want to know what you are protected by? Why can't I see through you?" Gu Yong asked.

Wesley didn't hide anything and directly summoned the space gem to hover in front of him. "I don't think you're unfamiliar with the Infinity Stone. I can feel that there's one here too. Mine is a space gem, but my use of it is too shallow. I want its energy usage."

Ancient One was suddenly relieved when Wesley took out the space gem. Because of the time gem, she knew the requirement for the Infinity Stone to recognize a master. It was impossible for ordinary people to make the gem recognize a master. Wesley was obviously recognized by the space gem, so it was normal that she could not see through him. The energy of the space gem protected him.

"I didn't expect you to be the owner of the space gem, but why are you so eager to pursue power?" Ancient One asked.

"A sense of crisis! I don't know if Master Ancient One has a sense of crisis. It's not a good thing for so many Infinity Stones to appear on the earth, and we can't give such gems away to such a powerful force. This is irresponsible to the earth, but we have to have the strength to keep them," Wesley said directly.

"Did you sense anything?"

"A premonition? No, no, no, I don't have that ability. But I think Master Ancient One knows about the Battle of New York. Chitari's army is just someone else's lackey. Their master hasn't appeared yet. To be able to make such a powerful alien army bow down, what kind of strength is the person behind them?"

"Is this your concern? But in such a situation, most mages don't come out. It's not bad that you can resist them," said Ancient One. Wesley had never seen Avenger 3, but some words and rumors told him that Dr. Strange only appeared after Avenger was defeated. Wesley doesn't know much about it, but Thanos may not be able to resist alone.

"This is an unknown, but I hope you can help when the time comes. After all, if the damage to the earth is too great, it will be too late for you to help, right?" Wesley felt that it was better to take precautions in advance, in case he faced Thanos alone. This guy might not be able to gather many Infinity Stones now, and he might be able to fight.

More than an hour had passed while the two of them were talking, and Stephen Strange was still at the door. He was at the end of his rope, and this was his only hope. He would probably not leave even if he starved to death at the door, but this had nothing to do with Wesley. He was now being taken to a room. The room was old, but it was clean and there was not much, but it was enough for Wesley.

It wasn't until the next day, when someone brought him to the library, that he saw Stephen Strange again. "Hey, were you left behind?" Wesley asked.

"Yes, yes, they took me in. It seems that you want to learn the knowledge here as much as I do, right?" Stephen Strange asked. His hands were still trembling and his face was full of beard. His hands could not even hold a razor.

"Yes, the knowledge here is very useful to me. There are still many questions that I hope to find the answer to here." Wesley responded with a smile and then walked in. He would choose all the books he wanted to read, but it was not arranged by the other party. This was the privilege given to him by Master Ancient One.

Steve Strange also wanted to walk in, but he was stopped by Fat King, the librarian.

"He went in. Why didn't he let me in?" Stephen Strange asked.

"Are you like him?" Fat King asked.

Stephen Strange was stunned. Am I the same as him? I don't seem to understand him, so maybe he's different from me? He thought about it and said, "It should be different. What should I read first?"

"Of course it's the basics, let's learn the basics first!" Fat King directly skipped the basics to Stephen Strange.
