Because in front of him, besides the man in the yellow robe he had seen in the video yesterday, there was another figure that felt extremely familiar, sitting opposite that man.
……
“Mr. Stark, I thought you would arrive earlier.”
The figure that Tony recognized very well slowly turned around; it was Peter, whom he had met just yesterday.
"What...what are you doing here?"
Tony's face was filled with shock; he had never expected that damned Superman to arrive here before him.
"Welcome to Kamar-Taj, Mr. Stark. Please have a seat."
Ignoring the utterly shocked expression on Tony's face, the bald woman in the yellow monk's robe, with a face possessing an androgynous and noble beauty, spoke to him in a gentle tone.
"Thanks……"
Tony finally recovered from his shock, walked over to Peter, and slowly sat down.
“Mr. Stark, I already know why you've come.”
Gu Yi slowly poured Tony a cup of tea and said.
"But are you really sure you want to embark on this path of no return, the path of magic?"
The next moment, the Ancient One's expression turned serious, and her gentle voice seemed to penetrate directly into Tony's heart.
"Yes, am I really going to give up science and turn to that illusory magic?"
Without a doubt, Tony was also in a dilemma at this moment.
At first, he searched for information about magic, solely in an attempt to use magic to defeat Superman.
Unfortunately, that guy arrived here before him today.
It seems that he has no weakness to magic.
So, does he still want to continue learning magic?
“Ancient One, I think you should choose someone else. This guy doesn’t seem like the right person to succeed the Sorcerer Supreme.”
Seeing Tony struggling with his dilemma, Peter chimed in, adding insult to injury.
"Who says I'm not a good candidate to learn magic? I'm the smartest genius in the world."
Perhaps it was Peter's words that finally solidified Tony's resolve.
"Mysterious and unpredictable magic? And it seems I'll inherit a seemingly incredibly powerful position as the Sorcerer Supreme?"
From Peter's words, Tony gleaned a crucial piece of information: that after learning magic, he seemed to be able to inherit a supreme position.
Although he did not yet know what the position of the Sorcerer Supreme truly represented.
But at this moment, he finally strengthened his resolve to learn magic.
"Besides, who said that learning magic means giving up science?"
"Magic plus technology, that sounds like a promising idea."
……
"Magic, in fact, is just like the technology you know; it's simply a special way for humanity to understand the essence of the world and the truth of the universe."
As Tony decided to study magic, the Ancient One smiled and slowly began to explain the origins and methods of using magic.
"The essence of magic is actually like a special language."
"Magic spells, like computer source code, serve to communicate with and mobilize energy from other dimensions, creating incredible phenomena in the real world."
"Like this...!"
As she introduced herself, the Ancient One suddenly raised her hands, and with a special gesture, a golden energy instantly appeared in front of Tony and Peter.
"Is this magic?"
At this moment, Tony was completely captivated by the wondrous sight before him, his eyes brimming with intense curiosity.
Undoubtedly, magic opened another door to the essence of the universe.
"Although it sounds nice, unfortunately Marvel's magic has already gone down a detour."
Looking at the special pattern that was faintly visible between the eyebrows when the Ancient One used magic.
Peter knew very well that this was a consequence of her stealing energy from the Dark Dimension.
In the Marvel universe, magic is actually a form of lending.
The sorcerer borrows energy from other dimensions, but ultimately has to return it in a different way.
Unless one has a powerful god of magic like the Ancient One backing them, they wouldn't have the resources to fight against Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension.
"Jarvis, have you memorized all her movements?"
Meanwhile, Tony, who was already deeply curious about magic, did not hesitate to have Jarvis record the Ancient One's movements.
"I believe you already have a basic understanding of magic. However, if you want to study more advanced magic in the future, you will probably need to stay here for a while."
Soon, the Ancient One waved her hand to dispel the magic that was shining with golden light in front of her, and then stared at Tony and said slowly.
"No problem, I may lack many things, but I have plenty of time."
"Besides, I don't think magic is that difficult."
Tony was very confident. Even though he wasn't good at learning magic, he still had Jarvis, the cheat code that was beyond his comprehension.
“In that case, Mage Casillas, please take Mr. Stark to his room to rest.”
Ancient One spoke slowly to the sorcerer who had brought Tony in, his face expressionless.
"Goodbye, Ancient One... Venerable One."
Tony glanced at Peter beside him, then without further hesitation, followed the indifferent-looking man out of the hall.
"Mr. Superman...or Mr. Peter Parker, have you come here just to find out if he will take the path of magic?"
As Tony left, the Ancient One looked at Peter, a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
"Of course, that's not all. In fact, I'm also quite curious about magic."
What Peter said was certainly not what he truly thought.
He came only to find out if this counted as changing Tony's future.
[Congratulations, host, you have made an initial change to Tony Stark's fate and have received a reward...]
……
Chapter 69 Charging Towards the Sun! (Please continue reading!)
“Ancient One, since this guy has chosen to stay here to study magic, I’ll take my leave now.”
It has been confirmed that Tony's fate has been preliminarily altered by the system at this moment.
Peter naturally wouldn't linger there and took his leave immediately.
"Should I have someone take you there?"
Gu Yi maintained a kind smile throughout.
"No need, I can manage by myself."
Without hesitation, Peter stood up and, accompanied by the Ancient One, walked out of the main hall and then soared into the sky.
Although this place is in a special magical dimension outside the real world, it seems to pose no obstacle to Peter.
"Ancient One, the newcomer has been settled in."
As the Ancient One looked up at Peter's disappearing figure, the cold-faced sorcerer had already returned after settling Tony in.
"Thank you for your help, Mage Kaecilius."
Ancient One slowly turned around and faced Casillas to express her gratitude.
"Ancient One, Mr. Superman, what brings you here today...?"
After hesitating for a moment, Casillas couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
After all, before this, the world of mages and Superman had never had any interaction.
"He's just here to confirm some things."
The Ancient One looked again at Peter's figure, which had long since disappeared, and slowly said.
"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore. Mage Kaecilius, if I remember correctly, you've been in Kamar-Taj for two years now."
The Ancient One turned her gaze to Kaecilius, her eyes seemingly recalling something.
"That's right, Venerable One. I also want to thank you for taking me in when I was so lost and dejected two years ago, allowing me to come into contact with mysterious magic and opening the door to another world for me."
At this moment, although Casillas's expression remained indifferent, his eyes revealed a deep respect.
His wife and children died in an accident, and he fell into despair for a long time until he met the Ancient One.
"So now, have you found the answer you were so desperately looking for?"
Ancient One gazed at Kaecilius, a strange emotion in her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Ancient One. At that time, I was overwhelmed by extreme grief, which is why I was so eager to find a way to resurrect my loved ones.”
At this moment, Casillas's expression was unusually calm, as if he was no longer feeling great grief over the death of his loved ones.
"However, after your teachings, I have come to terms with it. Magic is not omnipotent. Even if there were a way to resurrect my loved ones, I'm afraid it would come at an enormous price."
"The passing of my loved one, though an accident, was also destined by fate. Ultimately, no one can defy the laws governing the universe."
"From now on, I will dedicate my life to Kamar-Taj, to forever protect the reality of Earth from being harmed by beings from other dimensions."
As he spoke, Casillas's expression revealed an undisguised sense of relief, though he still mourned his deceased loved ones.
However, they would not defy the laws of nature to revive them, nor would they use forbidden magic.
He even vowed to protect Kamar-Taj and the reality of Earth for the rest of his life.
“Very well, Mage Casillas, in that case, you shall instruct the new mage.”
Gu Yi's eyes flickered, and he slowly gave instructions to Casillas.
