Marvel: Starting with mastering the Dark Book

"I rarely joke!"

Jiang Yu raised his hand and gently tapped Strange's forehead. Instantly, Strange felt a series of voices ringing in his ears.

These seem to be other people's thoughts or feelings!

This experience comes and goes quickly.

Strange snapped out of his daze and looked at Jiang Yu, who was drinking tea.

Jiang Yu frowned. "It tastes awful! I don't know why the other mages think it's good. This isn't authentic tea at all."

Hearing Jiang Yu's evaluation, Strange felt that the taste of the drink he had just taken must have been pretty good.

"That one just now was..."

"magic!"

Jiang Yu didn't look up, and magical runes instantly appeared behind him.

It spun rapidly around Strange.

These magical artifacts, seemingly constructed on Mars, exuded a mysterious power that left Strange completely bewildered.

"Alright! Let the king take you downstairs and settle you in properly! Tomorrow... we'll begin teaching you so-called magic!"

Jiang Yu disappeared immediately after speaking.

Strange raised his hand as if to say something, but then looked at his hands, which had returned to normal.

A smile played on his face. Regardless of whether he could learn the so-called magic, as long as his hands recovered, the trip would have been worthwhile.

"He just let you into Kamar-Taj so easily?"

The king's voice rang out from behind.

Looking back at the king who had led the way for him, Strange now found the other man quite pleasing to the eye.

Ah! I guess so!

Wang frowned. "To be honest, I initially thought he was going to kick you out!"

"why?"

why?

This is a difficult question for Wang Ke to answer. He can't very well say that he is the next Supreme Master recognized by the previous Supreme Master!

"nothing!"

Wang turned around and said, "Come with me!"

He sensed that the other person was holding something back, but as he followed the King to his residence, Strange wondered, "I thought the Sorcerer Supreme would be some kind of elderly master..."

"In terms of magical skill, he is the strongest in all of Kamar-Taj, and his total magical ability should even surpass that of the previous Sorcerer Supreme!"

Wang spoke without turning his head.

"The previous generation?" Strange frowned. "It sounds like you've met the previous generation of mages?"

"Ah! This generation's Sorcerer Supreme has only recently become Sorcerer Supreme!"

"Oh...no wonder, so young. How old is he?"

"I don't know, probably around twenty!" Wang suddenly turned to look at Strange. "What's wrong?"

"Twenty years old? Has he been in Kamar-Taj since he was a child?"

"No!" Wang said as he pushed open the door, "He's only been in Kamar-Taj for a little over six months, less than a year in total!"

Less than a year?

hiss……

Strange paused for a moment, then looked at Wang and asked, "Excuse me, who are you...?"

"Me? I've been studying magic for about ten years."

"Looks like this line of work really values ​​talent!" Strange chuckled. If that's the case, then he actually felt more confident.

After all, he considers himself quite talented.

"Indeed, but I advise you to study magic on your own at your own pace, and never follow the Sorcerer Supreme to learn it!"

"Huh?" This confused Strange. Logically speaking, the Sorcerer Supreme should be the person with the highest level of magic.

Wouldn't one gain even more by learning from someone with the best and strongest magical knowledge?

Seeing the other person's curious expression, Wang sighed, gave them the room's Wi-Fi password, and then slowly said, "This is all I can tell you. This generation of Sorcerer Supreme is different from the previous Sorcerers Supreme. You'll gradually understand in the future. Now, get some rest!"

After saying this, Wang left the room and closed the door behind him.

Strange was left with a puzzled look on his face. Was this a different kind of Sorcerer Supreme?

Indeed, it's clear that this is a Supreme Master who doesn't follow the normal path at all.

next day!

Strange donned the apprentice's robes and began his formal studies at Kamar-Taj.

There were quite a few other mages like him who had just entered Kamar-Taj to study.

It gave Strange the feeling of starting a school career.

Strange's progress in learning magic every day with several classmates of the same level was indeed astonishing.

Now he is carefree and full of confidence, so he learns much faster.

"By the way, Strange, do you know the Sorcerer Supreme?"

A classmate asked Strange a question, even though the other person was a middle-aged man who was not young.

"Of course I know about 5.3. Doesn't every mage who joins Kamar-Taj need to meet the Sorcerer Supreme?"

Strange's matter-of-fact answer surprised the others.

"Who told you that you need to see the Sorcerer Supreme to join Kamar-Taj?"

"Aren't you guys?" Strange paused for a moment.

"Of course not!" Even the classmate next door chimed in, "How could the Sorcerer Supreme possibly meet with every sorcerer who enters Kamar-Taj to study!"

Strange was a little confused. Was he considered special?

"That's not the point. I've heard that this year's Sorcerer Supreme not only possesses the legendary Book of Vishanti, but also the Dark Book—a legendary mage who controls both light and darkness!"

The other students looked quite surprised, which puzzled Strange. "Hey, what are you talking about? What's this 'Book of Vishanti'? And what's this 'Dark Book'?"

Chapter 116 The Book Chose Him

"No!"

One of the men, wearing glasses and seemingly knowledgeable about various forms of magic, looked at Strange.

"You've been in Kamar-Taj for so long, and you don't even know the Book of Vishanti?"

When asked this question, Strange felt as if he had missed some kind of trending topic.

“I… I’ve been researching dimensional portal magic lately, so…” Strange made up an excuse, but before he could finish speaking…

The other party spoke directly: "The Book of Vishanti, a treasure in the hearts of all mages, contains endless magical knowledge, and it is said that as long as you can open the Book of Vishanti, you will gain the power to help you defeat your enemies!"

"The power to help defeat...the enemy?"

"That's right. In other words, no matter how powerful the enemy you encounter, as long as you find the Book of Vishanti and open it, the Book of Vishanti can generate the magic needed to defeat the enemy in front of you!"

As he spoke, the person seemed to have fallen into some kind of self-delusion.

　02 "This contains an endless amount of magical knowledge! However..."

The other person looked down at Strange and said, "This book is now in the hands of the Sorcerer Supreme, and perhaps the next Sorcerer Supreme will be able to inherit it."

Forehead!

Now Strange seems to understand why this sorcerer, who has only been in Kamar-Taj for less than a year, was able to become the Sorcerer Supreme.

With something like that in hand, it would be strange if he didn't become the Sorcerer Supreme.

“Compared to that, I care more about the Dark Tome in the hands of the Sorcerer Supreme!” another person suddenly spoke up, his tone and expression extremely serious.

"If the Book of Vishanti represents light, then the Book of Darkness represents darkness, and it possesses a dark power comparable to that of the Book of Vishanti!"

The man was somewhat worried. "The Sorcerer Supreme hasn't shown any abnormalities yet, but I'm afraid that one day he might be influenced by the forces of darkness and fall into darkness. If that happens... it will be terrible, since he also possesses the Book of Vishanti..."

The Dark Book?

Strange silently repeated those four words to himself, "Is there anything special about this book?"

However, no one answered his question.

It's fine to say it's the Book of Vishanti, but if you say it's the Dark Book, then perhaps someone in some dimension will hear it.

Seeing that no one answered, Strange wasn't an idiot; he knew this was probably a forbidden topic.

After parting ways with my classmates.

Strange arrived at the library.

However, upon entering, they saw a magical light spreading out.

Magical runes suddenly appeared on the books around him, and even the books he was holding automatically displayed magical runes.

The next second, the books flew back to their original positions.

"It's settled. Now it's impossible for anyone to open the book without your permission!"

"I've enchanted all the spellbooks!"

Jiang Yu's voice rang out.

Wang nodded. "It was my duty to protect these books, and I failed in my duty this time."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry about it too much. You're not only busy teaching newcomers every day, but you also need to deal with some emergencies from time to time. You've already done a great job. It's just that two pages of waste paper were stolen!"

Two pages of scrap paper?

Wang glanced at Jiang Yu. "Those aren't just two pages of scrap paper; they contain records..."

At that moment, Jiang Yu saw Strange.

He raised his hand and threw out a spell.

The sudden surge of magic startled Strange slightly, but he instinctively activated his magic shield the next second.

A magical shield quickly deployed, blocking Jiang Yu's casual attack.

"Wow! You're learning very quickly! Keep it up!"

Jiang Yu left after saying that.

After Strange withdrew his magic, he looked at the King and asked, "What just happened? Why did the Sorcerer Supreme attack me?"

"That wasn't really an attack, just a simple surge of magical energy. But the fact that you were able to block it shows that your magical skill has indeed improved very quickly!"

Wang glanced at Strange and said, "Since you've finished reading all the ones I gave you before, I'll recommend some more!"

As Wang turned to look for a book, Strange asked curiously, "What is the Dark Book?"

Upon hearing this, Wang was taken aback. Strange was a mage favored by the Ancient Ones, so why was he also interested in the Dark Book?

“If I were you, I wouldn’t be interested in that book!” Wang emerged from behind the bookshelf. “It seems you’ve heard about it too! Our Sorcerer Supreme not only controls the power of light, but also the power of darkness.”

He placed several books in front of Strange. "The Dark Book is a book that can seduce you and turn you into a complete puppet."

Of all the mages who have read the Dark Book, only the Sorcerer Supreme from earlier was not tempted by the darkness.

Strange was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "Is the so-called Dark Book the book that was on his left side just now?"

"That's right! Your observation skills are quite good!"

"The other side is the Book of Vishanti?"

"Ah!" Wang asked, somewhat puzzled. "What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Didn't you say that knowledge can be shared in Kamar-Taj?"

Strange meant to ask why Jiang Yu carried two books with him at all times.
