177A Bleecker Street, New York Sanctuary.
In the spacious temple hall, 26 futons were placed in the center, following a strange trajectory. On each futon, a sorcerer sat cross-legged. At the front was New York Sanctuary resident Kaecilius, leading the temple masters in their morning classes and daily meditation.
If observed carefully, the breathing rhythm of all the sorcerers was almost the same. With each breath, a faint golden light could be seen emerging from the surrounding space and integrating into their bodies. This was the practice method of Master Kamar Taj, using the power of Vishanti to practice magic.
Suddenly, a sparkling circular portal opened in the distance, and Lockhart stepped through. He saw the Kamar Taj sorcerers doing morning lessons and looked at them with interest. Without approaching, he found a seat nearby and sat down, closing his eyes slightly to feel the practice method of Master Kamar Taj, seeing if there was anything worth learning.
In the future, if he had more students, using similar methods to improve their practice efficiency would be beneficial.
At this time, Kaecilius, who was sitting at the front, also felt Lockhart's arrival. However, he continued to lead the group of sorcerers in their morning classes. This was his duty as the guardian of the New York Sanctuary.
In Lockhart's perception, with Kaecilius at the core, a large number of sorcerers jointly called for the power of Vishanti. The power wasn't directly integrated into their bodies. Instead, under the spiritual resonance of many sorcerers, they refined the power, extracted the essence, and then distributed it proportionally according to their cultivation levels. This practice method made the gained power more pure and abundant, much better than practicing alone.
After a while, Kaecilius slowly opened his eyes and stood up. The other sorcerers did the same, bowing to Kaecilius to express their respect and thanks. Kaecilius responded with a polite bow as usual. Soon, the sorcerers dispersed, and Kaecilius walked towards Lockhart.
"Morning, Lockhart," Kaecilius greeted as he sat across from Lockhart.
Lockhart politely returned the greeting. Kaecilius looked at the empty table, stretched out his right hand with a Sling Ring, and a small portal leading to his room quietly opened. Reaching out, a fruit plate appeared in his hand, which he casually placed on the table. He picked up an apple and handed it to Lockhart with a smile, "Lockhart, what brings you here this time?"
Lockhart took the apple and joked, "Kaecilius, can't I just talk to you when I have nothing to do?"
"Haha, of course," Kaecilius laughed. "If you really want to chat, I welcome it. It just so happens that I'm quite bored staying alone in the New York Sanctuary."
After a few words of small talk, they returned to the main topic.
"Kaecilius, my Vientiane Book Cafe has been successfully transformed. The environment has been adjusted to accommodate sorcerers or people with extraordinary abilities. For subsequent transactions, you are welcome to come. If you have nothing to do, you can sit at my book cafe. It may not be as safe as the New York Sanctuary, but the environment is much better."
Kaecilius raised his eyebrows and joked, "That's for sure. I'll be there."
Lockhart nodded with a smile. Kaecilius felt comfortable working with Lockhart because everything was discussed in advance and a contract was signed to ensure fairness. The transaction was straightforward, with clear earnings and shares.
Kaecilius then said, "In that case, Lockhart, I can decide to open a portal from the New York Sanctuary to your Vientiane Book Cafe. Sorcerers can enter directly through it."
Lockhart's eyes lit up, "That's good. I appreciate it."
He then asked, "By the way, Kaecilius, this won't have any impact, right?"
"No," Kaecilius said nonchalantly. "It's just adding a teleport point. There are many in the New York Sanctuary. Yours is not new. It's for those sorcerers who don't know your book cafe's location initially. Those familiar with it can open a portal themselves."
Lockhart nodded in understanding, then snapped his fingers. A light yellow ball of light floated towards Kaecilius. "Kaecilius, this is the spatial positioning information of Vientiane Bookstore. All sorcerers can enter through the portal. After entering, there's a spatial magic circle to ensure quietness and safety, so a portal can't be opened inside."
Kaecilius smiled, "Lockhart, you really put your heart into it. When I'm free, I'll bring some friends to your bookstore to see a lot of things. We'll also celebrate your success."
Lockhart smiled. He had two purposes for coming to the New York Sanctuary. First, to drive traffic to his Vientiane Bookstore, which he planned to use as a trading platform in the future. The book cafe would provide an environment for sorcerers to communicate, trade, and cooperate, earning fees like room fees and handling fees.
If Vientiane Bookstore did well, it could attract guests from Earth, Asgard, and even other dimensions, effectively leveraging the Marvel world's resources. This business model would provide him with a steady stream of money necessary for improving his strength and supporting his students.
With Kaecilius' help, Vientiane Bookstore would soon be on the right track and popular in Kamar Taj, representing the main force of the entire Earth's extraordinary world.
After exchanging a few words with Kaecilius, Lockhart moved on to his second purpose.
"Kaecilius, Morin reminded me to pay attention to the dimensional invasion before, and said I could contact you. Can you tell me in detail how Kamar Taj resists dimensional invasion?"
