Chapter 08: Page 8

"Really?"

Skye's face was full of surprise. Who could resist the temptation of magic?

"So get some rest early and leave tomorrow!"

Finny didn't talk for too long, as his curiosity about magic was best left for Skye to discover on her own, and this would also help change her perspective as much as possible.

However, when they were having breakfast the next morning, they found Skye with two dark circles under his eyes, which made Finny couldn't help laughing.

"I told you to rest early, why are you still like this?"

"It's not you yet!"

Skye yawned and glared resentfully. Because she was so excited about learning magic, she searched for a lot of relevant knowledge on the Internet, and it was morning before she knew it.

Fortunately, due to the time difference, Finny had originally planned to leave in the evening, and he had just told his parents in advance that he would stay in the hotel today so they didn't have to worry.

The two of them came to the store together first, and after sending Skye to catch up on her sleep, Feeny opened the business alone and practiced her skills diligently.

At seven o'clock in the evening New York time, the two drove to the front of the sanctuary.

"Is this right here?"

In front of the New York Sanctuary, Skye asked nervously, then took out the makeup mirror in her bag and touched up her makeup before confirming again: "It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it!?"

"Okay, okay, no problem, let's go in!"

Finny rolled his eyes helplessly, pulled Skye, opened the door and walked in. This time the hall was no longer empty. There were two young mages sitting in a corner drinking tea and reading.

It seemed that these two men were not in Kamar-Taj yesterday, so they did not know Finny. At this moment, they were looking at the two of them with vigilance.

"Hello, I'm looking for Master Daniel."

"Wait a mininute."

Seeing that Finny didn't look like an enemy looking for trouble, one of them nodded and replied, then went upstairs to look for someone.

Soon, Daniel went downstairs, introduced Skye, said hello, and then went to where he was yesterday and opened the teleportation door.

Seeing this magical scene, Skye opened his eyes wide, swallowed, and nervously held Finny's hand, feeling uneasy deep down in his heart.

"I won't go with you."

He had already led the way once yesterday, so Daniel did not accompany him this time. After speaking, he waited for the two of them to pass.

Finny didn't mind. After thanking Skye again sincerely, he pulled the nervous Skye through the portal to Kamar-Taj.

"Was that magic just now?"

The scene changed. Sky looked around in confusion. He came to the yard from the library. Looking at the pale sky outside, he couldn't help but reveal a look of shock.

She originally thought that Finny didn't get enough rest in the morning because he was taking care of her, so he came over at night, but now seeing this situation, she began to understand the reason.

"Where are we now?"

Skye couldn't help but ask. In the early morning of Kamar-Taj, many people had already started to practice. Because of Ancient One's introduction yesterday, many people also knew Finny. When they saw him, they nodded and greeted him.

While returning the greeting on the way, Finny replied in a local tone: "Kama-Taj in Kathmandu, the holy place for the master's practice."

"Himalayas?" Skye didn't know where Kathmandu was, but recalled what Feeny had said yesterday.

Seeing Feeney nodding, Skye couldn't help being shocked again: "But we were still in New York just now."

“So, this is magic!”

Finney spread his hands, looking as if it was a matter of course. Seeing Skye's mouth wide open in disbelief, he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, don't worry about it. I'll take you to meet my master, Master Ancient One."

I don’t know what happened, after I signed the contract, the number of collections suddenly stopped increasing, and almost didn’t move. I felt sad and desperate. I had already started updating twice a week, alas!

Chapter 16: The Power of the Haunted Demon

Before meeting Gu Yi, Skye had been trying hard to tell himself not to be surprised, to be polite and not to embarrass himself, but at the moment of meeting he couldn't help but look surprised.

Besides the fact that I didn't expect Gu Yi to be a woman, there was also that big bald head.

After seeing Ancient One, Skye subconsciously turned his head and looked at Feeney's hair next to him. There was a trace of worry in his eyes, which made his face darken slightly.

After giving Skye a hard look to make her realize how rude it was, Feeney began to introduce Skye to Ancient One, even though Ancient One should have known her for a long time.

When introducing Skye, Feeney mainly said, "This is my sister," but when introducing Ancient One, she had many more names:

"This is my master, the boss of Kamar-Taj, the most powerful person on Earth, the Sorcerer Supreme who knows almost everything about the past and the future, the Ancient One!"

After hearing this, Skye became more and more nervous. Although she couldn't see why this man with a gentle face and gentle temperament was so exaggerated by Feeney, it did not prevent her from being in awe.

"Hello, Master Ancient One."

Skye greeted respectfully.

"Hello, Miss Halsetz." Ancient One nodded kindly, and then said to her: "Finny has already told me about you, but please don't blame me for saying too much. The power of magic may not be controlled by everyone, so don't force it."

Skye nodded seriously to show her understanding. It would have been great to have such an opportunity. Even if she couldn't learn it, she wouldn't blame anyone.

Everything in Kamar-Taj was new to Skye. During the one-day visit, her curiosity was overwhelmed and her expectations for learning spells were instantly raised.

Just like that, after going back and saying goodbye to their parents, the two of them temporarily stayed in Kamar-Taj under the pretext of traveling.

At the beginning, the two of them did not study anything, but observed other mages practicing on the training field. Seeing the orange energy surrounding the mages' hands, Skye was very excited and couldn't wait to join.

But as she started practicing, she realized that things were not that simple. After a whole month, she didn't develop any spark at all.

Fortunately, Karma Taj has kept pace with the times and has access to the Internet. Otherwise, she would probably not be able to continue. But even so, she is thinking about giving up these days.

The only consolation for Skye was that Finny was not much better than her. If she could be described as having no spark, then Finny could only be described as having a tiny spark.

For a month, Finny was extremely depressed, and he even doubted if it was really only by losing his hair that he could become stronger. How could he only have a little spark in a whole month! ?

It was Modu who once told him that, in fact, most people reach this level when they first start learning, and then they continue to practice in frustration.

It seems that what Ancient One said about his average talent was true.

The failure in magic made Finny realize that it was a bit unrealistic to quickly become stronger in this way, and his greatest asset still depended on the ability to extract from the system.

Just when Finney was thinking about how to do it, Skye found him and said he wanted to give up.

"Are you sure?"

Looking at Skye who looked depressed, Finny asked again to confirm. In fact, he understood this feeling very well. It was really discouraging to study for so long but not see any progress. He could still see some hope, but Skye couldn't channel out any energy at all.

"Well, maybe I'm really not suitable."

Skye said gloomily that if possible she would of course still hope to obtain this kind of extraordinary power, but she also remembered that Ancient One had advised her not to force it at the beginning.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. In fact, I think the mystic magician is not suitable for girls. You should think more about how to use the shock wave ability if you have it."

"Why shockwave?"

Skye didn't understand why Finny kept bringing this up.

"Don't worry about it. I'll tell you when the opportunity arises." Finny didn't explain and changed the subject: "Are you planning to go home?"

"Ah."

Skye nodded. Although Kamar-Taj also had internet, the speed in a place like this was obviously not that good. Moreover, the simple and plain life made her a little uncomfortable to adapt to.

"Okay, then I'll leave the explanation from my parents' side to you."

During this period, of course they talked to their families and also went to the town to take some photos for their families to see, so their parents didn't feel anything unusual.

"Then let's go. I'll take you to talk to the teacher and ask her to send you back directly."

After Skye packed her belongings, she found Ancient One and told her what happened. Ancient One didn't say much about Skye's giving up. He neither comforted nor encouraged her. He just nodded to show that he understood.

After opening a portal and sending Skye to a place not far from her home, Finny began to discuss another matter with Ancient One.

"Master, I want to find other mages to train my fighting abilities."

"Master Modu and Wang will be happy to help you." Gu nodded and gave some advice.

During this month, he also met these two wizards who would have a good relationship with Doctor Strange in the future. As for the traitor Casillas, he seemed to have not joined Kamar-Taj yet.

"Well, can I use this?" Finny used 'Devil Haunted', and a silver sword appeared in front of him. After holding it, he did not choose to equip the armor directly.

Gu Yi looked at Finny holding the sword, paused for a moment, and said quietly after a long while: "This is a living weapon. It may corrode your spirit and hurt your body. Do you know that?"

Feeney hesitated for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he knew that the system's introduction said that it contained ancient life forms. If not for this, it would not be able to evolve.

"Remember, never let power control you!"

In the end, Ancient One did not stop Finny from using these abilities and gave him the greatest trust.

Just as Finny was about to leave to discuss the battle with Mordo, he suddenly thought of a possibility, stopped, turned around and looked at Gu Yi: "Master, can you use it?"

Finny held up 'Evil Ghost' and handed it over. He wanted to know if other people besides himself could use it. It would be too dangerous to let ordinary people test it. But as for Ancient One, he didn't have so many concerns, unless she wanted to die herself.

"I think I can give it a try."

Gu Yi was not polite and took the 'Devil Haunted' handed over by Finny, and looked at it curiously: "Hmm... It seems to be a very strange creature that can evolve according to the power of the user. The forging method is also magical!"

"Its spell is 'Evil Ghost', and it can transform into armor." Finny reminded from the side.

"Haunted by evil spirits!"

Ancient One whispered something, and a shocking energy burst out from the sword, the momentum far exceeded the first time he used it.

The figure condensed behind him was even more terrifying and oppressive, making Finny, who was close to him, even a little breathless.

"Roar!"

A huge roar resounded throughout Kama Taj, startling all the mages.

Just when the figure was about to hug Ancient One, Ancient One waved his hand, and a green energy surrounded it, dissipating the "evil spirit-haunted" figure. Then he took back the energy and transformed it into the shape of a long sword again.

"Hoo, hoo!"

The feeling of oppression disappeared, and Feeney gasped for air. Only by experiencing it personally could he understand his own weakness. It was obviously the same piece of equipment, but it was more than ten times stronger than him on Gu Yi.

However, after Gu Yi's test, he also understood that the control of the skills ultimately lies with him. Although Gu Yi can use it, he can cancel the skill at any time during this period.

Please vote and collect. Oh, my collections are starting to fall off. How scary!

Chapter 17 Experience Baby Mordo

'The Haunted Man' can be lent to others for use, which is undoubtedly good news. In this way, if one day you don't want to use it anymore, you can lend 'The Haunted Man' to others for use without worrying about not returning it.

For example, a certain green fat guy, considering his strength, plus the bonus of "haunted by evil spirits", he must be terrifying.

"Remember my words, never let power take control of you."

Looking at Ancient One who returned the 'Evil Ghost' and turned to leave, Finny opened his mouth but still did not ask why Ancient One refused to form armor just now.

……

"Brother Modu, come out for a duel!"

In the early morning, Feeney came to Modu's door excitedly, urging him impatiently.

The experience gained during the battle was far beyond Finny's expectation. For the past week, Finny has been using the "Evil Haunting" to fight against Mordo almost every day.

Mordo was shocked when he saw the "haunted ghost" for the first time. He asked for a long time, and finally Finny was too lazy to answer and could only fool him by saying that this was a magic weapon specially given to him by Ancient One.

Although the result is that Mordo always secretly mutters in an unknown corner, "It's not fair, I was here first" and so on.

Back to the topic, after a week of testing, Finny found that he had greatly underestimated the experience he could gain from fighting, or in other words, the experience he could gain from fighting with strong opponents.

The experience he gained from fighting Mordo this week is equal to what he gained in the previous three months. What a terrifying speed! In one month, it is equal to what he gained in the previous year.

Moreover, Finny discovered that the experience gained from winning a battle was much greater than that from losing, something he discovered once when he knocked Mordo down when he was accidentally distracted.

At that time, Finny regretted very much that he had not discovered these things earlier. If he had known them earlier, even at the risk of being exposed, he would have continued to look for people to fight with. Now he would have more than three skills.

However, this thought did not last long. He remembered what Gu Yi had warned him, and then analyzed it carefully. He felt that even if he discovered it earlier, it would not be much faster.

The most important point in gaining experience in battle lies in the strength of the opponent and the use of 'Evil Haunting'. With 'Golden Dayan Technique' and 'Sumire's Fried Chicken Roll', you will definitely not be able to defeat someone who is too strong.

Therefore, the main reason for this situation is that the 'haunting of evil spirits' greatly improved his strength, and then Modu's strength itself was not weak.

After figuring it out, Finny no longer regretted it, but immediately cherished the present, which meant challenging Mordo to gain experience every day.

"Have you been possessed lately?"

Mordo opened the door with a bitter face and complained. He had indeed asked Ancient One about the "evil ghost haunting" because he was worried. Although Ancient One denied that it was her who gave it to him, she still told him not to worry about it and to try her best to help.

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and get going."
