Chapter 10: Page 10

"You've been reading that book for almost a month. Isn't it boring? By the way, the weather seems to be getting cooler recently. Let me go shopping for some clothes with you!"

Listening to Skye chattering like a sparrow, Finney closed the book helplessly and glared at her, "I really shouldn't have agreed to let you live here. Also, don't you have enough clothes?"

"I'm buying clothes for you." Skye tried to straighten her face and corrected herself, then said with a smile, "At most, I can help you pick out a few pieces for me."

Feeney sighed and looked at the sky outside. Since November, such good weather has indeed been rare.

He looked away and nodded helplessly at Skye who was looking forward to it. He saw the fashion magazine that was thrown aside. The cover of the magazine was Stark in a suit and tie. He couldn't help but ask:

"Didn't I remember that you used to like Tony Stark?"

Following Finny's gaze and reading the magazine, Skye curled his lips in disdain and said, "I admire his technology and inventions, but I find that this guy is just a playboy!"

"It's hard to say!"

Finney looked at the spirited Tony Stark in the magazine and said with some emotion: "He should become a hero!"

"hero!?"

Skye looked at him with a strange look, Tony Stark had many titles, super rich, scientific genius, playboy, but almost no one ever linked him with a hero.

"He is a very peace-loving person."

Finney shrugged. It was a master-disciple tradition. He actually didn't have much interest in spoilers.

"He runs an arms company!"

Skye replied speechlessly, and then didn't talk any more about this issue, and ran back to the room to put on makeup and tidy up happily.

After spending a whole afternoon shopping with Skye, Feeney came to the New York Temple in the evening and opened the portal to reach Kama Taj.

The cool air in the early morning refreshed him. In the past few months in Kamar-Taj, he had gained as much experience as in the previous years.

The experience bar that was originally emptied after extracting "Evil Ghost" is now half full again without me noticing.

However, the speed has slowed down recently. Firstly, his talent and time are not sufficient, and he has to focus more on translation and reading. Secondly, he can't find anyone to gain experience with.

There aren't many mages who love fighting. Mordo has his own things to do recently and can't always be around him, so he often can't find anyone to practice with.

Feeney was thinking about how to solve this problem as he walked towards the training ground. He met a fat figure on the way and couldn't help but say hello: "Good morning, Wang, you are here today!"

At this time, Wang is not the librarian that Doctor Strange will be when he comes in the future. He is now a member of the Guardians of the Hong Kong Temple and does not often appear in Kamar-Taj.

"Good morning, Master Finny." Wang politely returned the greeting, then walked over to Finny and asked quietly, "Do you have fried chicken rolls?"

"Uh, isn't it too greasy to eat in the morning?"

Although he said that, Finny still skillfully summoned the 'Sumire Fried Chicken Roll' and handed it over.

Wang took it and smelled it, showing an intoxicated expression, and then said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I've already had breakfast, it doesn't matter."

"..."

Feeney was speechless.

When he met Wang, he knew that today's experience was useful. Wang's strength was slightly weaker than Mordo's, but he was also one of the better opponents, especially since Wang's fighting style was not as agile as Mordo's.

After several months of training, Finny has actually grown quite a lot, of course not in terms of magic.

After gaining rich combat experience and equipped with 'Devil's Haunting', he is now considered one of the masters of Kamar-Taj, especially in terms of combat power.

Chapter 20 is about to begin

Time flies, the days pass by one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the old year ends and the new year begins. Finny is one year older and enters the dangerous year of 2010. Without his intervention, the world will enter its era of chaos starting from this year.

Things like the Iron Man War, the advent of Norse mythology, the invasion of alien armies, the extinction of humans by intelligent life, etc., all popped up all at once.

In April, Finny had been in Kamar-Taj for nearly a year. The peaceful pace of life allowed his strength to grow steadily, and he was even not far from the fourth draw.

Just when he was somewhat intoxicated with this kind of life, a piece of news broke this peace and stability, and even made him successfully create a portal while practicing magic...sparks.

"It's been a year, Iron Man has been missing, how come I can't even open a broken door."

Looking at the dangling ring on his hand, Finny felt depressed and ashamed. In the past year, he almost gave up learning all spells and focused on this one, but he still hadn't succeeded. He felt that this kind of talent was simply exaggerated by Ancient One.

The news of Tony Stark's disappearance made it impossible for Finny to continue staying comfortably in Kamar-Taj, because he had to start considering the safety of his family.

In fact, since the New Year, he has been persuading his aging parents to retire, but the two of them, who think they are still young, are unwilling to agree and have been dragging their feet.

Now that Iron Man is about to make his debut, how can Finney dare to let them continue to work leisurely in New York? Who knows, a nuclear bomb might be dropped one day.

If they really refused to leave New York, Finney would make them move. During this year, he went through a lot of hardships and finally bought a house next to the New York Temple.

This is the only place in New York where he can feel at ease.

……

"Why do we have to quit our jobs and move there?"

Finny's parents didn't understand his request at all, including Skye, who didn't understand why Finny insisted that the whole family go there.

In response to his parents' doubts, Finney hesitated again and again, but finally gritted his teeth and explained: "New York will be very dangerous in the future, but that place will be safe for a long time!"

Finny's father Eli thought that Finny was worried about their old age, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Little boy, you were not even born when we came to live in New York. I know what New York is like better than you."

Seeing this, Finny sighed, and reluctantly used the Ring of Raggador, which he had become much more proficient in. He looked at his stunned parents and said, "Believe me, you may not know as well as I do. This world will soon become more dangerous than you think."

"Also, I forgot to tell you, I'm a mage!"

After so many years of getting along, Finny was 100% sure that his parents didn't have any issues with his identity as a wizard, and didn't think he was a monster or anything.

That's why he told them frankly and directly, without having to make up any white lies.

"When did you learn all this?" Eli looked stupidly at the Ring of Raggador in Finny's hand, and reached out to touch it, but Finny dodged him.

"In the past year, Skye also knows about it." Finny thought for a while and said, anyway, as long as they believe it, there is no need to explain it so clearly, and the magic was indeed learned last year.

Eli and Vera turned their heads to look at Skye, who was also a little overwhelmed. They opened their mouths as if they suddenly didn't know what to say.

"But what does this have to do with danger?"

Eli asked in a deep voice. As a lawyer, he was always able to grasp the key points in details. He was a little worried that these dangers might be related to Finny.

"Do you believe that there's aliens?"

Finny understood what his father meant and explained, "A wizard's duty is to protect the Earth from being invaded, and there are many beings in outer space who have been coveting the Earth for a long time."

"In the next few years, they are likely to make some moves. The place I asked you to go is a sanctuary built by the mages. If there is any danger, they will protect you."

"how about you?"

After hearing this, Finny's mother was not worried about herself, but him at the first time, and asked nervously: "Are you going to fight those aliens too? Will it be dangerous? Do you need to notify the army?"

"Don't worry, I'm actually very strong. As for the country, there should be corresponding organizations." Finney smiled comfortingly, and then replied: "If necessary, I will definitely go. If the earth is gone, we will all be finished."

At least as for Dormammu's incident, if it could be prevented, Finny would definitely not let him come, at least he would not put all his hopes on "negotiating conditions".

Although Finny said it lightly, his parents still couldn't help but worry for a while, but they finally agreed to move, and then they asked about Kamar-Taj in detail.

Having solved the problem of his parents' safety, Finny was completely relieved. He had a good relationship with Master Daniel of the New York Sanctuary and had specifically told him that his parents might move in.

As the youngest mage in Kamar-Taj, the master of mages, and the most favored disciple of the Ancient One, these identities are enough to make many mages give him face.

There is a reason why Finny is so eager to solve his parents' problems. Although his strength seems to have increased rapidly in the past year, he is still far behind big guys like Dormammu, Thanos, and Ego.

Not to mention the Hulk and the lightning-fearing Thor, even the soon-to-be-born Iron Man, he is not necessarily completely sure he can defeat him.

Therefore, Finny needs to improve his strength, and fighting is the best way to do that. After Iron Man debuts, the Earth is no longer short of enemies, so he has to resolve his worries so that he can concentrate on improving himself.

In fact, to be honest, in the past year in Kamar-Taj, Finny's biggest improvement was not in 'Evil Ghost', but in the seldom-used 'Golden Great Evolution'.

What restrains the effect of the 'Golden Great Evolution' is the power of the temple, that is, the mages, that prevents the earth from being invaded.

After Finny became a wizard, he had a deep understanding of this power. It was like studying the enemy. Although he did not necessarily defeat the enemy, he could understand how to better defeat the opponent.

The 'Golden Great Evolution Technique' was just like that. Although he didn't practice it very hard, he naturally improved when he understood how the mage's power hindered the effect.

Although Gu Yi once warned him that the power of the 'Golden Great Evolution Technique' was very dangerous, she actually never restricted Finny from using it. Instead, she helped him once.

However, as he gained a deeper understanding of the 'Golden Great Evolution Technique', he actually understood more and more what Gu Yi had said.

'Magic that changes reality according to thoughts', this is indeed a very terrifying power. Perhaps as Finny becomes stronger and stronger, a casual distraction may lead to all kinds of consequences.

Chapter 21 Portal

Finny would not do anything that would cause him to give up his job because of fear of choking, but he also did not want to be controlled by power. Otherwise, life in the future where he could not imagine anything would be too terrifying.

After all, some things are only suitable for thinking about. If they really become reality, he actually doesn't want to, for example, what does women's clothing look like? ?

In the new home, many programs on TV are reporting the news that Tony Stark was attacked and missing. A week has passed, and most people are speculating that Stark is dead.

This situation also caused Stark Industries' stock to plummet. Finney originally wanted to take the opportunity to buy some stocks, but found that he couldn't buy any. It seemed that someone had already secretly acquired them.

Come to think of it, this attack was originally planned by Obadiah Stan. He should have thought of the consequences of Tony's death before taking action, so the decline in the stock should be within his expectations, and it would not be easy to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up a bargain.

We should wait until Tony returns unexpectedly and announces the closure of the weapons department to everyone's surprise. That will be a good time to buy stocks at a bargain price.

However, with his funds, he probably can't buy much, at least he can't become a director or something like that. Keeping the shares and selling them at a higher price later is a good option.

Finny thought silently in his mind while watching TV.

As for rescuing Tony Stark now and then asking him to do a favor, he didn't think much about it. If he wanted to do it, it might not be impossible to do it with the 'Jack Sparrow Compass'.

But there is no point in doing so. Without his intervention, Tony Stark would become Iron Man and a righteous hero. Perhaps he is arrogant, proud and self-righteous, but his heart is undoubtedly just.

Finney doesn't want to change this. It's always good to have more good people in the world. Besides, he has already clung to the most powerful person, Ancient One, so there's no need for him to go out of his way to please Tony Stark.

In his impression, the scientific side and the magical side are opposites!

Although he doesn't want to change Tony's growth trajectory, it doesn't mean that Finny will do nothing. At least Obaday, the Iron Monger, should be a good experience baby.

What we need to consider now is how to defeat him as much as possible.

'Haunted' is very powerful, but currently has two serious shortcomings compared to Iron Man. One is that his attack is not enough, and his spells are not mature.

The second is that its anti-air ability is weak. Although 'Evil Ghost' can evolve, Finny currently does not have the ability to evolve it into an anti-air ability, and the portal cannot be opened, which is very worrying.

Thinking of this, Finny suddenly realized that he was really weak and sighed in frustration.

But in reality, this is not the case. Although we don't know how high the metal defense used by Iron Man is, as long as he is not covered in vibranium, it should not be as good as "The Haunted Man".

Furthermore, the bonus that 'Haunted' brings to Finny's body is definitely greater than that to Iron Man, that is, to attributes such as strength and agility.

Without considering air combat, in close combat, with Finny's nearly one year of combat experience, considering the current level of artificial intelligence and Tony's own level, it should be enough to beat him to a pulp.

Besides, the most difficult part of opening a portal is actually guiding the energy. After the last stimulation, he can already create sparks, which means he is not far from successfully opening the door.

With the full bonus of "Haunted by Evil Spirits", it shouldn't take long to activate, and by then we'll have some means of controlling the air.

After thinking about it again, Finny regained some confidence.

In the living room, Skye came out of the room and saw Finny sitting on the sofa, watching TV intently. Especially when he saw the news about Tony Stark, he couldn't help but be surprised: "I noticed that you seem to be paying attention to this guy's news recently?"

"Of course, my wallet will depend on him in the future."

Finney stood up and stretched. He had been paying attention to Tony Stark these days because he was worried that his existence would cause some butterfly effect, but at the moment, there seemed to be nothing unusual.

After hearing what Finny said, Skye was immediately curious and asked, "What do you mean? And didn't they all say that Tony Stark was attacked by terrorists and died?"

"How can it be!"

Finney looked at the host who was listing Tony's deeds on TV and had a mourning expression on his face. He curled his lips and said, "This guy is really amazing. He is probably sweating profusely doing the most important thing with the most important man in his life!"

Ethan sacrificed himself to save him, so he should be considered the most important man in his life. To build the Mark I, they need to forge iron, which must be hot, and if they fail to build it, they will die, so it must be the most important thing.

"???"

Little Skye has a lot of questions now.

But Finny, who never spoiled anything, ignored Skye's questioning look, straightened his clothes and said, "I'm going to go back first. I might be busy these few days. You stay at home with your parents first."

Because they followed Finney's advice, the two elders retired from the law firm. They were very uncomfortable with the sudden situation of having nothing to do.

Kamar-Taj is a holy place for mages to practice, and it is not suitable for ordinary people to stay for a long time. As for letting two people practice...

If magic was really that easy to learn, there would be wizards all over the streets.

So Finny had been thinking about arranging a trip for the two of them. Anyway, as long as they were not in New York, the safety factor in other places seemed to be quite high.

Now Finny's top priority is to learn how to use the portal, and then start the fourth draw as soon as possible. If it weren't for the 'Evil Ghost' he got in the third draw, his progress would not have been so fast.
