Superman

"I didn't expect Master Hamil to be so easy to talk to. Usually when I see him, he is very serious, with a straight face, as if everyone owes him money."

Strange came to the New York Sanctuary, and on the pretext of participating in the Supreme Mage's Battle for Hegemony, he proposed to the Sanctuary's administrator to build a defensive heavy armor with high magic resistance and strong enough strength.

As the speaker of the New York Sanctuary, Master Hamill readily agreed and rarely mentioned the cost of purchasing materials and hiring labor.

You should know that usually, the mage in the sanctuary needs to prepare his own materials and pay forging fees when making equipment.

Giving it away for free does not exist.

Despite the great achievements of the three major sanctuaries and the Karma Taj Family, their economic strength is actually quite limited.

Master Wang wanted to eat a tuna sandwich, but he didn't have the money to buy it.

As for Strange, who became the Supreme Mage, he still had to worry about what to eat for lunch.

It can be seen that they are indeed not very wealthy.

"Haha, if Gu Yi hadn't opened the back door for you, people might not even care about you."

Luke thought silently.

Strange is a newcomer with no foundation.

He wants to successfully win the battle for supremacy and become the new Supreme Mage.

The difficulty is probably equivalent to understanding that the king can really load himself into a cannon and launch it into the sun to play the accordion.

The possibility is almost zero.

Without Luke's intervention, Ancient One would definitely have made various tricks to force Strange up.

The operation was done behind closed doors, so there was no psychological burden on the old man.

As long as it allows him to retire early and end the long period of staying at work, Gu Yi doesn't mind losing his moral integrity a little bit.

Anyway, that thing isn't worth much.

"Perhaps Master Hamil is a good man with a cold face and a warm heart, so he will use the best materials for you and hire the best forging master."

Luke didn't point it out and echoed.

Of course, if these words fall into the ears of those who know the truth, they may sound a bit strange.

"The people of Kama Taj are simple and honest, and the magicians who come out are all good people."

Strange believed it and said happily.

At this time, he has not yet realized that he is actually the chosen one, the real protagonist template.

Those competitors who work hard and sweat for the position of Supreme Mage are just babies with experience.

"By the way, do you need any weapons?"

Luke looked at the forging master's design drawings, thinking about preparing a killer weapon for Strange.

We already have a shield for defense, now we need to add some attack methods.

"The berserker's giant axe, the headshot staff... they all look violent."

Luke was amazed that these mages in the New York Sanctuary were more powerful than the soldiers.

Strange scratched his head and asked: "Is there any kind of... weapon that is easier to carry and more powerful?"

"Let's see - this fits your needs perfectly!"

Luke looked for blueprints for a while and picked out the one he thought was the most suitable weapon.

"Ak47-Fire Qilin, exclusive for money-paying players! Not only does it come with special bullets for destroying demons and armor, it can also be hidden in the shield. When the enemy is not prepared, you can pull it out and fire a shuttle.

Explosions of fire and surprise can have miraculous effects!"

"Remember, when you shoot, you must say 'Sir, times have changed', or 'This thing is much easier to use than a magic wand'."

"This can demoralize the opponent and improve our fighting spirit."

Strange took the drawing, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said hesitantly: "As a mage, isn't it... too despicable to use thermal weapons?"

An automatic rifle with magic damage is simply the enemy of mages.

He could imagine that when the two sides were exchanging spells, he pulled out an AK47-Fire Kirin from his shield, with blue fire coming from the muzzle, and fired at him. How much psychological shadow this would have on his opponent.

"On the battlefield, we must be fair and aboveboard, and most of them will not end well."

Luke speaks earnestly and thoughtfully, like a life coach.

"There is a saying in the East that a general who leads an army in battle will not reject the use of cunning, deceitful strategies or means to defeat the enemy."

"Stephen, you should let go of your inner worldly moral shackles and look at the problem from a higher level."

Strange's face was serious. Although he didn't quite understand what Luke was talking about at a higher level, judging from the other party's serious tone and sharp eyes, it seemed to make sense.

Soon, orders for magic-resistant armor and the enchanted version of ak47-fire unicorn were successfully placed.

…

…

A few days later, the bronze bell of Kama Taj rang, and all the speakers from the three major sanctuaries came to the scene.

Regarding the selection of the Supreme Mage, it officially starts today.

"Master Hamil, have all the beacons been sent out?"

The old Master Grande raised his head and asked.

He is the manager of the London Sanctuary and a highly respected ascetic.

"It's been distributed. There are a total of forty-two beacons, which means that there will be forty-two people participating in this introductory match."

The mutilated Master Hamil nodded and replied.

The beacon is a magical prop of Kama Taj.

It is equivalent to an invitation letter or an admission ticket.

The holder can enter the competition venue - the dream dimension and participate in the first trial.

"Modo has already entered?"

Master Grande looked at the sky. A long and narrow crack slowly expanded, like a hideous wound that was constantly being opened.

Behind the dark cracks, there are eccentric and colorful colors, like a canvas mixed with countless kinds of paints, giving off a magnificent and dreamy feeling.

That is the arena, the dream dimension.

A world where the laws of reality have lost their effect and are full of bizarre and unknown dangers.

"Modo chose to shoulder this responsibility, which is a good thing."

Master Hamil said softly.

"The position of the Supreme Mage not only represents powerful power, but also a heavy burden. Emperor Weishan will test you all the time, and those dimensional demons are also eyeing the earth."

"If you don't have a firm enough mind and a pure spirit that can resist all kinds of temptations, you won't be able to bear this honor."

"Modo has been with the Supreme Mage for many years. Not only is his strength outstanding, but his character and morality are also the best choice."

"This time, he has been recognized by the three legendary mages and signed a contract with the great sage Merlin. I think he has a good chance of passing the final trial."

Master Hamil gave a mouthful of poisonous milk, seemingly full of confidence in Mordo.

"What about Stephen Strange? He is the second occult mage Kamal Taj chooses to join the battle."

Master Hector, who had been silent all this time, asked.

Compared to Mordo, who has attracted much attention, he cares more about the newcomer Stephen Strange.

As the oldest arcane mage, Hector once heard Ancient One mention the choice of successor.

That is a chosen son with courage, wisdom and perseverance far beyond ordinary people!

"I heard that the contractor he found was extraordinary. He was even personally interviewed by the Supreme Mage before."

Master Grande shook his head slightly and chuckled: "I don't think there is a more powerful contractor than the great sage Merlin. He is the most famous legend. He is only one step away from becoming a god."

"Half of the beacons have entered the arena."

Master Hamil stared at the clear image projected in the hall, and then a touch of anger rose in his eyes.

"Casillas! The traitor is here too!"

Master Grande remained silent and said slowly after a moment: "As long as he holds the beacon, he is eligible to participate. This is in line with the rules of the battle for hegemony."

"A fallen mage who fell into the arms of Dormammu actually covets the position of supreme mage. It's really unbelievable."

Master Hamil looked unhappy and snorted coldly.

Ten minutes later, all the contestants holding beacons had entered the venue, many of whom were familiar faces who were well-known in the magic world.

"Let's wait and see who will be the winner."

Master Hector stared at Strange, who was walking in the dream dimension, and thought: "The challenge of the entry competition is not easy. If you are not fully prepared, you will be eliminated easily."
