All Gods: I Became a God by Loading Templates

However, hard work often cannot overcome talent.

Just like now.

Lin Bei stepped out of the teleportation portal and looked at the apprentices in the square. They were of all skin colors, but there were no Asians. Even those who were Asians were mostly immigrants of one or two generations, and they couldn't even speak a proper Cantonese-accented Mandarin.

Among these apprentices, I also saw a few black men.

The apprentices' aptitudes were on full display in each training session; some were already able to draw basic magic arrays, while others could only draw a few lines in front of them.

Anyway, he's much better than Dr. Strange, the Kiwi.

Chapter 141 Hamil the Mage: Asgard, Sending a Generous Gift

One serving of crab

Lin Bei looked at Mordo, who was already serving as an instructor, and Casillas, who was standing next to him, also noticed this.

These two are truly worthy of being recruited by the Supreme Mage; it's only been a little over a year!

This is enough to qualify someone as an instructor.

However, while the Kamar-Taj system is easy to learn, it is difficult to master. Moreover, it relies on dimensional power and has very little energy of its own, so casting spells mostly depends on mental or spiritual power.

To become a powerful mage, one must either find a great nemesis or acquire exceptional talent through study.

Lin Bei asked, "Where is the Supreme Master?"

Mordo, unaware that the Sorcerer Supreme had already been chosen, shook his head and said, "I don't know. After I returned, I asked Sorcerer Hamil to come and look after Kamar-Taj."

Lin Bei frowned and said in a low voice, "Giving up so quickly?"

"?" Mo Du looked at Lin Bei in confusion.

"Nothing, where is Master Hamil?" Lin Bei asked.

Mordo answered honestly, "In the main hall."

"Hmm." Lin Bei glanced at the apprentices, then turned and left.

Casillas, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, came over and said, "Was that our former librarian just now?"

“Hmm.” Mordo nodded. “But he is also a powerful mage, isn’t he?”

"Continue to supervise the apprentices' training, Casillas."

Casillas nodded and glanced at Lin Bei as he left, then continued to supervise the apprentices' training.

Lin Bei, familiar with the place, arrived at the main hall of Kamar-Taj.

Located atop a mountain, this place originally served as the Ancient One's tea room and living quarters, thus becoming the most important location in Kamar-Taj and earning the title of the Hall of the Sorcerer Supreme.

Lin Bei walked straight in. The building had three walls and a large corridor, from which one could enjoy a panoramic view of Kamar-Taj.

The monk Hamil lay on a rocking chair, propping himself up with one hand on a thread-bound book, while two pretty apprentices served him by burning incense and brewing tea.

They live a more comfortable life than the demons of their own dimension.

Hearing the noise, Master Hamil adjusted his reading glasses. "Master Linbei, you've arrived."

Lin Bei nodded and said, "Master Hamil."

After exchanging greetings, I sat down at the coffee table. "Did the Ancient One say anything when she left?"

The monk Hamil put down his book, put away his reading glasses, and said solemnly, "The Ancient One said that Kamar-Taj will be in your hands from now on."

From now on, you will be His Holiness the Supreme Master.

"Oh, right, and this too." The mage Hamil stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and a necklace that looked like an eye appeared in his hand.

"This is the Sorcerer Supreme's token, and also the most powerful artifact of Kamar-Taj. Only the Sorcerer Supreme can possess it."

Lin Bei glanced at the Eye of Agamotto floating in the palm of the mage Hamil, then casually put it around his neck. Lin Bei asked with some skepticism, "That's all? Nothing else?"

Is the handover ceremony of the Supreme Master really that simple?

Lin Bei was somewhat incredulous. Come to think of it, when Strange succeeded as the Sorcerer Supreme, although he didn't hold a grand celebration, it was because Dormammu's invasion was imminent.

Essentially, he only took office after the Ancient One died.

But now that the Ancient One is still alive, he has taken over, which is a bit against the rules.

Even though Luo was only recognized by all the sorcerers at the Ancient One's funeral.

Without this step, Lin Bei felt something was off, as if the task was only a few steps away from completion and suddenly it jumped to the task settlement.

Lin Bei suspected that Gu Yi had secretly read the script before running away, but he had no evidence.

Seeing Lin Bei's changing expression, Master Hamil hesitated for a long time before saying, "The Ancient One also said that she is not dead, but has gone to follow the Eternal God, so there is no need to hold a grand funeral."

There is no need for such customs to explain all the monks, including your status as the Supreme Master.

Three days ago, other archmages had already received letters from the Ancient One, as had other factions, such as Asgard.

Therefore, the Ancient One asked me to advise you to prepare for tests from other forces as soon as possible.

After hearing what the sorcerer Hamil said, Lin Bei slammed his hand on the coffee table and exclaimed, "So the Ancient One really did peek at the script! Humph!"

After saying that, Lin Bei suddenly looked at Master Hamil, "Now I am the Sorcerer Supreme, right!"

Master Hamil nodded and said, "That's right."

"Does that mean everyone in Kamar-Taj has to listen to me?!"

The mage Hamil scratched his head with his amputated arm and said, "That's true, but..."

"No need to say anything more!" Lin Bei raised his hand to interrupt, "I won't be at ease if this funeral isn't held!"

He gave the order, and the Ancient One ascended to immortality, riding a crane to the west to follow the eternal god Erwan.

This is a joyous funeral; attend with a smile!

Master Hamil looked distressed and said, "But the Ancient One has already said so."

"Hmph! I don't care." Lin Bei downed the tea in one gulp and slammed the teacup heavily on the coffee table. "You said it yourself, she is now the Ancient One, while I am the Sorcerer Supreme!"

Do as I say!

Hamil the mage gave a bitter smile, glanced at the horizon, and then at Lin Bei.

Being caught in the middle is truly unpleasant. One is the former Sorcerer Supreme, who is still alive, and the other is the current Sorcerer Supreme, who is currently eyeing him with predatory intent.

In the end, Master Hamil succumbed to Lin Bei's gaze.

The monk Hamil sighed inwardly, 'A local official is more powerful than a distant one!'

He then got up to inform the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.

Lin Bei suddenly raised his hand and called out to Master Hamil, "Remember to remind them about the gift money!"

Subtle.

This Kamar-Taj is a vast and powerful place, teeming with people and horses.

With a helpless look, Master Hamil turned around and nodded to Lin Bei, then nimbly walked out of the main hall.

Lin Bei waved his hand, took a sip of the freshly poured tea, and couldn't help but purse his lips.

After he said, "I am the Sorcerer Supreme," the Sorcerer Hamil didn't respond.

If it were another time traveler, they might immediately reply, "You'll regret this."

That's more like it!

But what were the duties of the Sorcerer Supreme again?

How to resist the invasion of the dimensional demons?

But Dormammu, the only one who dared to covet Earth, had already turned even his ashes into fertilizer. The plants that were fertilized grew incredibly well... twisted and unnatural. The mushrooms were even squirting out high-protein juice. Who would believe that?

Or should we just sit here and slack off?

Doesn't that make me look useless?

It's true, the position of the Sorcerer Supreme is not easy to hold.

With a sigh in his heart, Lin Bei opened his mouth and ate a grape that was handed to him.

-

On the other side, Asgard.

Odin looked at the new invitation and asked in confusion, "Isn't the Ancient One still alive?"

Queen Frigga, standing nearby, said, "This is probably because the new Sorcerer Supreme wanted to show off what he had organized, but couldn't find a good reason, so he used the name of the Ancient One. This is also likely intended to lull other forces into a false sense of security."

Odin nodded and asked, "Shall we participate?"

After receiving the invitation, Odin made up his mind not to attend. Firstly, Midgard was a kingdom he had once ruled, and the Sorcerer Supreme was like a vassal king. How could a king personally attend a banquet of a minor nobleman?

Secondly, his two sons were also good-for-nothings.

Although he is her biological son, his mind is nothing like hers; he is a complete brute.

The other child, though somewhat intelligent, was not his biological son, even though he was treated as such.

Queen Frigga pondered, "Perhaps it's better not to. We can just send them a generous gift later."

“Then let’s do it your way,” Odin said, patting Frigga’s hand affectionately.

Besides Asgard, other ancient powers also received the invitation, but chose not to go. However, they still had to give face to the new Sorcerer Supreme. The Ancient One had previously revealed some information about the new Sorcerer Supreme, saying that he was capable of going toe-to-toe with Dormammu.

Moreover, the title of the Sorcerer Supreme was not earned through kindness, but through his own strength.

It's fine if this person can't go, but if they don't even send the gift, it would be bad if they found an excuse to cause trouble for us later.

The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, as well as those under the Sorcerer Supreme, were all the first to know.

While feeling both grief and joy, each person opened the envelope only to be met with utter disappointment.

They could only reluctantly attend the so-called Ancient One's funeral, while many with ulterior motives wanted to try and take on the challenge.

The position of the Sage Supreme, which originally challenged the system, should not be turned into a designated succession system.

If you're bold enough, you might as well sit in the position of the Supreme Master.

Time quickly came to the day of the Ancient One's funeral.
