"Mr. Kahn is very interested in this cloak?" The Ancient One walked up to Josie and asked, looking at the cloak in the open cabinet.

“Of course, the moment I saw this cloak, I felt an instant connection with it, a very special feeling,” Josie said, making up a story as she looked at the cloak with a smile.

Little one, come here to your big brother, I'll love you from now on!

And the cloak seemed to have truly been summoned, flying out of the cabinet and rushing towards Josie amidst the astonished gazes of several New York Temple mages.

Seeing this, Josie was very satisfied. Sure enough, this cloak was very discerning. Following her was much better than following Strange.

Then, under the Ancient One's teasing gaze, the magic cloak flew past Josie with a whoosh and wrapped itself around the astonished Lina. When Josie's gaze swept over, the tattered cloak even seemed to shrink back behind Lina as if in fear.

Hey, I have a short temper!

Josh said he's very unhappy right now!

Chapter 256 Magical Exchange

"It seems this Levitation Cloak has chosen its new master on its own!" Seeing Josie's extremely depressed expression, Gu Yi's usually serious face revealed a rare mischievous smile.

"My lady, actually I can..." Seeing Josie's displeased expression, Lina hurriedly tried to hand the Levitation Cloak to Josie, but since the Levitation Cloak had chosen her, it wouldn't be easy to get rid of it.

"No, no, no, this is fate's choice. Since it chose you, it is yours. Just dress properly..." Josie waved her hand and said.

Although he harbored considerable resentment towards the Cloak of Levitation for not choosing him, he wouldn't go so far as to blame his subordinates for such a trivial matter.

And since she belongs to Lina, what's the difference between her and Josie?

Well, before the master has even spoken, Josie has already taken the magic cloak for herself.

The Ancient One had no objection to this—as the number one deadbeat in the Marvel Universe, how could her things be so easily taken?

However, the fact that the Ancient One had no objection does not mean that others had no objection.

For example, the dark mage Daniel, who previously disagreed with opening the cloak display case.

“Mr. Kahn, madam, the Cloak of Levitation is the property of Kamar-Taj. Please return it to its original place!” Wizard Daniel said in a muffled voice.

Upon hearing this, Josie couldn't help but give the dark-skinned man a strange look. Goodness, out of all the people here, you're the one who talks the most.

Besides, even the Ancient One, who's in charge, hasn't said anything, so why are you making a sound? Do you think you're so great?

“Daniel, divine objects possess a spirit. Since the Cloak of Levitation has chosen this lady, it means she is its destined master!” the Ancient One said.

“But they are outsiders, which goes against the rules of Kamar-Taj!” Wizard Daniel retorted stubbornly.

“Principles? Whose principles?” Gu Yi stared at him and asked.

This question left Master Daniel speechless.

Yes, although the Ancient One was not the first Sorcerer Supreme, Kamar-Taj has existed for thousands of years.

However, there is no doubt that the actions taken by Kamar-Taj over the past few centuries have been set by the Ancient One, and the various magical artifacts in the temples were all collected by her.

What right does a monk who has only been a monk for a little over ten years have to question the other party's decision?

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I'm not feeling well, so I'll have to take my leave!" Sorcerer Daniel apologized to the Ancient One in a muffled voice, then turned and left.

Ultimately, he was still resentful. He had been diligently managing these magical artifacts at the New York Temple for over a decade, and not a single one had recognized him as its master. Now, some random outsider had gained the approval of the Magic Levitation Cloak. It would be strange if he felt comfortable about it.

“Josie Kahn, come with me, let’s talk in the quiet room!” Watching Daniel’s departing figure, the Ancient One sighed slightly in her heart, but her face remained expressionless as she extended an invitation to Josie.

"I have to say, Kamar-Taj's foundation is more profound than I imagined. However, I think the Supreme One should pay more attention to his temperament when it comes to recruiting sorcerers!" Josie couldn't help but say on the way.

Upon hearing Josie's words, the Ancient One couldn't help but look at her strangely.

There's no way around it, the word "temperament" just doesn't sound right coming from Josie's mouth.

And temperament? I think you're more likely referring to race.

Although Josie usually hides it well, the contemptuous attitude of him and all the people in his organization towards Blackie cannot be hidden from the old fox, Gu Yi. Her words were clearly an expression of her dissatisfaction with the sorcerer Daniel earlier.

However, this also served as a reminder to the Ancient One that if Kamar-Taj wanted to maintain its relationship with Josie in the future, it would indeed need to be careful about recruiting sorcerers.

Although the ancient author did not have any racial prejudice, otherwise, in an era when black people were still at the bottom of society all over the world, there would not have been black sorcerers in Kamar-Taj.

However, this does not mean that Kamar-Taj cannot be biased.

It's important to know that from the very beginning, Kamar-Taj has only had white and Asian people; there have never been any black people.

Only in recent decades have a few relatively qualified Black mages emerged.

As for Mordo, who is expected to be an important member of Kamar-Taj in the future, he probably hasn't been born yet due to timeline issues.

Therefore, even if all the existing black sorcerers in Kamar-Taj are removed, it will not affect Kamar-Taj.

However, this is something that Gu Yi cannot do herself.

“But we do need to pay attention to their temperament. It just so happens that the chaos in the Middle East and Africa has intensified recently. Let those mages with poor temperament experience the suffering of the world. Perhaps it can bring about some change in them!” Gu Yi said.

...Josh understood immediately, knowing that the Middle East and Africa were key areas for the Ten Rings Gang's expansion.

This supreme being is also a ruthless person.

“A very good idea!” Josie nodded.

Soon, the two arrived at the quiet room, where only Josie and the Ancient One were present. The two elven sorcerers and the other sorcerers of Kamar-Taj did not participate in their conversation.

Two hours later, the door to the quiet room reopened, and Josie and Gu Yi walked out with warm smiles.

The Ancient One then announced to the entire Kamar-Taj that Kamar-Taj and the Kirin Tor had formed an alliance and would conduct regular magical exchanges.

The Kirin Tor is an ancient mage organization jointly established by the high elves of Azeroth and human mages, and is led by a council of six.

There were exactly six elves, including Vereesa and the others, so Josie simply used them.

Most Kamar-Taj mages were somewhat baffled by the sudden appearance of the Kirin Tor, but since the Ancient One had made the decision, they simply went along with it, hoping that new magic might emerge. Like the mages of Azeroth, most Kamar-Taj mages were devoted to knowledge, with only a very small minority pursuing power.

However, not everyone can accept this immediately.

For example, there's that dark-skinned mage, Daniel.

He stated that he had never heard of the Kirin Tor and did not believe that this suddenly appearing organization was qualified to engage in magical communication with Kamar-Taj, unless he were to witness it firsthand!

In other words, he formally challenged the Kirin Tor mages!

This time, his words resonated with many monks.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yi couldn't help but look at Josie.

“That’s a good thing. Magical exchanges can’t just be about exchanging things on paper. Combat is the true essence of magic… What do you think, Lina?” Josie couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Daniel’s challenge.

"Of course, I'm really looking forward to it!" Lina smiled, a very happy smile.

When it comes to magical duels, she's more than a match for anyone, and Orosania, standing to the side, doesn't dare to compete at all.

And don't let her gentle and weak appearance fool you; as a battle mage, she's a complete battle maniac.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone so far as to single-handedly storm the troll camp—and ended up running into Malacas, a troll priest of a higher rank. This is why this precious battle mage ended up as a troll prisoner.

Seeing this, Gu Yi sighed inwardly; no one understood it better than her.

It can be said that, apart from herself, no mage in Kamar-Taj is more powerful than this seemingly petite figure.

Daniel practically kicked a vibranium plate.

Chapter 257 Please enter the urn

Kamar-Taj, the training ground.

The duel between the elven archmage Lina and the Kamar-Taj sorcerer Daniel takes place here.

However, all the Kamar-Taj mages watching the battle wore strange expressions.

What they saw was not a spectacular magical duel, but a one-sided massacre... no, it can't be called a massacre, it's pure torture.

It's not that the magic of Azeroth is stronger than the magic of Kamar-Taj. In fact, in terms of power, they are equal. For example, Daniel's magic shield can normally block most of the magic released by Lina, including Polymorph.

However, in terms of the diversity of magic, personal strength, and combat experience, how could Lina, who looks young and has a petite body but is actually close to a thousand years old, possibly be able to match Daniel?

She's mastered basic spells like Polymorph, Blink, and Frost Star, making them look incredibly sophisticated.

Her graceful and ethereal nature was perfectly embodied in her.

In contrast, Master Daniel was as clumsy as an African gorilla throughout the entire process.

However, it is precisely because of this that the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj have developed an extremely strong interest in the magic of the Kirin Tor organization, completely dispelling their already limited doubts about magical exchanges between the two organizations.

"Enough! Daniel, you've already lost!" Seeing Daniel being constantly toyed with by Lina in the arena, yet still refusing to admit defeat, the Ancient One couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up.

The Ancient One's words calmed Daniel down a little. After scanning the crowd and seeing the bewildered expressions on their faces, he realized that what had just happened had made him a laughingstock throughout Kamar-Taj.

He immediately glared venomously at Lina and Josie standing on the sidelines, opened a portal, and left Kamar-Taj.

As Daniel's figure disappeared into the portal, the Ancient One sighed softly.

If Daniel doesn't leave, she might be able to save his life out of consideration for their past relationship—others might not know, but she saw it clearly.

Although Lina seemed to have held back in the previous duel, aside from toying with Daniel, she did not actually hurt him.

But in reality, a magical mark had been placed on Daniel long ago.

As long as Daniel is still on Earth, Lina can use this magical mark to find him and teleport to his side in no time, taking his life.

The idea that it's better to resolve conflicts than to create them doesn't apply to Josie.
