The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 84 Gu Yi, I'm CN
"I've accidentally wandered into this secluded Marseille area. Could you tell me where I am?"

Du Mu has always maintained a low profile when dealing with such a powerful figure.

It's not too late to be high-profile after we've won the fight.

The Ancient One didn't take his intrusion to heart, but simply smiled and said calmly, "This is the New York Sanctum, one of the three great sanctums that protect the real dimension."

"Protecting the Reality Dimension?"

"Yes, there are many powerful beings in the multiverse, including threats that attempt to invade or even devour our reality. The purpose of the Sanctuary is to serve as the first line of defense for Earth against these threats from the multiverse."

Du Mu was taken aback.

He hasn't even landed on the moon yet, so talking to him about dimensions and the multiverse seems a bit too futuristic.

"you"

"You want to know who I am? My name is Ancient One, and I am the current Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj."

Just as Du Mu opened his mouth to say something, Gu Yi seemed to have already seen through his thoughts and interrupted him.

"That"

"You want to ask what Kamar-Taj is? And what is the Sorcerer Supreme?"

“No problem, I’d be happy to tell you that Kamar-Taj is a sacred place for sorcerers to practice.”

"The Sorcerer Supreme is the ultimate guardian protecting Earth's dimension from magical threats, responsible for maintaining the balance between reality and the multiverse. In game terms, he is the main damage dealer of the raid boss."

No, who asked you?
Who asked you that?!

Du Mu looked completely bewildered.

He never even considered asking about these issues.

However, the Ancient One acted as if she could read his mind and explained a whole bunch of backstory to him, leaving him a bit confused.

Du Mu asked in surprise, "Wait, were you just talking about games and bosses?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"Isn't it a bit strange for a Supreme Mage to talk about games?" Du Mu complained.

Gu Yi pulled out a fan from somewhere and said casually, "The Sorcerer Supreme is also a human. He can play games occasionally, and he can fight dimensional demons occasionally."

Du Mu: "."

As expected of the bald boss, he can even compare playing games with fighting dimensional demons.

He'll show off like that when he levels up.

"I"

Du Mu was about to speak again when Gu Yi interrupted him once more: "I know what you want to ask."

Du Mu's face darkened: "Fuck you!"

"You want to ask if you can come to Kamar-Taj to learn arcane arts?"

"Holy crap, you guessed perfectly!"

Du Mu immediately changed his tune, expressing his sincere admiration for Gu Yi's ability to completely see through people's hearts.

The Ancient One said that Kamar-Taj is a sacred place for sorcerers to train, so he can definitely learn a lot of advanced magic. Maybe he can finally get rid of the title of novice sorcerer.

He quickly asked, "Can I go to Kamar-Taj to learn occult arts?"

"of course can."

Gu nodded, agreeing too readily.

"So simple?"

This surprised Du Mu. He didn't even have an introductory task; he could directly get a learning opportunity.
"Yes, it's that simple."

Gu Yi smiled and said, "Karmar-Taj has always welcomed sincere learners, and naturally will not turn away those who are sincere."

Of course, that's assuming you can find the gates to Kamar-Taj.

"Is that right?"

Du Mu didn't know much about Kamar-Taj either.

Since the other party says so, then so be it; it won't do him any harm anyway.

The Ancient One raised her hand and drew a circular trajectory in the air, sparks immediately erupting and rapidly expanding into a portal shimmering with golden light.

Through the golden portal, a solemn and ancient temple could be vaguely seen on the other side. "Magic?"

Du Mu opened his eyes wide; this was the first time he had ever witnessed true magic.

It's magic with special effects!

Instead of the kind of fake magic that Loki uses to deceive the enemy and launch a sneak attack from behind.

"Come with me."

Gu Yi stepped into the light gate first, and Du Mu followed closely behind without hesitation.

With one step, it was as if space itself had been transformed, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed.

Welcome to Kamar-Taj.

Gu Yi gestured, and Du Mu found himself standing in a spacious stone courtyard, with the majestic Himalayas covered in snow in the distance.

Good grief, this is almost enough to send me back to China.

At the same time, the game map interface automatically expands, displaying a new map of Kamar-Taj, waiting to be explored and activated.

Following in the footsteps of the Ancient One, Du Mu passed through a training ground where he could see many mages in robes practicing secret arts, and some were even practicing one-on-one.

The two monks bowed to each other, indicating that this was a friendly exchange of skills.

Then their eyes sharpened, and dazzling golden light suddenly condensed in their hands, with mysterious runes flowing in the air. Then, they picked up the sticks in their hands and smashed them at each other!

The two mages wielded their sticks with great force, and when the fighting got intense, they even took off their robes, revealing their explosive muscles, and started hand-to-hand combat!
Seeing this, Du Mu immediately felt that he had come to the right place.

This is truly a place for mages to cultivate!
This is professionalism!
The Ancient One explained from the side, "Secret arts put a great strain on the caster's body, so casters should try to use close-combat attack methods."

"I know."

Du Mu nodded in agreement: "If you use your strong body to defeat the enemy, you won't have to worry about running out of mana. After all, I'm a mage too, and I understand that principle."

"Yes, you understand it very well."

Gu Yi smiled and nodded, leading Du Mu to a simple and ancient building.

She pushed open the heavy wooden door, and a pungent smell of old paper and leather immediately wafted out.

The building may not look large from the outside, but the interior space is exceptionally spacious, filled with densely packed bookshelves displaying various ancient books.

"This is the library, where most of the magical books collected by Kamar-Taj over the years are stored. Each book here records different magical knowledge and secrets, and also embodies the personal insights and understanding of the wizards of Kamar-Taj throughout the ages."

Looking at the vast sea of ​​books before him, Du Mu asked, "May I read all of these?"

Gu nodded: "You can read most books except for those in forbidden areas, but you can't take them out of the library. However, I suggest you start by learning the most basic magical theory."

"Ok."

Gu Yi gave a few instructions and then turned and left the library.

Du Mu looked at the thousands of ancient books in front of him, picked one up at random and tried to put it into the game's inventory, but found that he could not put it in at all. It seemed that these books had been set up with some kind of special protection measures.

No wonder the Ancient One was so at ease leaving him here alone.

He opened the ancient book in his hand, the pages filled with profound and obscure magical content, which looked even more complex and difficult to understand than advanced mathematics.

The player's magical knowledge level does not meet the requirements to read this book.

Indeed, advanced skills are not something you can learn just by wanting to.

Du Mu had no choice but to follow the Ancient One's advice and search for the most basic books on magic theory.

As he uttered a few keywords, more than a dozen bookshelves in the library lit up one after another, and the books on them were all classics related to the basic theories of magic.

This is the method that the Ancient One taught him before she left. It can be described as an intelligent retrieval system in the magical world, and it is quite convenient to use.

Magic changes lives!
Du Mu walked to the bookshelf that was dimly lit, picked up a classic book and began to read it.

At the same time, a progress bar appeared in front of him.

[You are currently learning about basic magic. Stopping this process will automatically interrupt your reading.]

"Does it have to be this realistic?!"

Du Mu was speechless.

He discovered that sometimes, a game being too realistic isn't necessarily a good thing.

Having no other choice, he continued to peruse the book in his hands, waiting for the reading to finish.
