Chapter 133
The next day, Kamar-Taj held the cremation of Ancient One according to the custom of Kathmandu.
On the high platform made of firewood.
Ancient One was wearing the beige robe of the past, with his hands on his chest and abdomen, and his remains were peaceful.
Today, except for the wizards guarding the three holy temples, all members of Kamar-Taj gathered here.
Everyone wore plain robes, facing the burning firewood, pinching the magic formula and half bowing their heads to mourn.
Ancient One has protected the earth for hundreds of years.
Everyone standing here has felt the care from this supreme wizard.
Her death undoubtedly means the collapse of a sea-stabilizing magic needle.
Mordo stood at the front of the crowd, reading the eulogy in Tibetan.
Although the Ancient One was a Celtic, she had guarded this land for a long time and had completely integrated into this place.
When the firewood burned out, Mordo finished the last eulogy.
Some mages silently stepped forward to collect the ashes, and some mages shed tears silently.
After the funeral, it was already evening.
But for the mages of Kamar-Taj.
There is still an important thing that has not been announced today.
"Everyone, the Ancient One predicted his own death ten days ago."
Mordo stood in front of the mages, and what he said made Leon's heart twitch.
——It turns out that as soon as he left the Marvel world, the Ancient One began to make a retirement plan.
Leon felt a sense of fucking in his heart.
Mordo continued, "She told me, and most of you, that more than a month ago, we welcomed a most powerful and reliable wizard - Superman!"
Mordo pointed at Leon, and all eyes looked over.
Some were curious, some recognized, and some were shocked, but there was no doubt.
Who on earth doesn't know Superman now?
Perhaps only the wild people in the mountains and primitive places like South Africa.
Even the villages in India that don't have access to the Internet have basically heard of the term Superman.
Of course, the wizards know how strong Superman is.
They are just a little surprised. How can a strong man like Superman, who is a physical side, also be a wizard?
The crowd automatically made way.
Leon walked to Mordo: "Everyone can call me Master Leon in the future."
Mordo looked at Leon deeply.
Late last night, Leon had just returned to Kamar-Taj, and the Ancient One died.
This made him doubt.
Did Ancient One reach the point of exhaustion long ago?
He had been trying to stay alive just to persuade Leon to take over the position of Supreme Sorcerer.
Considering Leon's strength, perhaps there is no one on Earth who is more suitable to succeed him.
"I believe everyone has heard of Leon's strength, and many of us have seen his magic skills half a month ago." Mordo said.
Before, Leon practiced magic in the training ground.
He used the energy of Oshutu to release the Scarlet Magic Band, and used the energy of Cytorak to release the Wind of Vatum.
Those dazzling spells had already amazed the mages of Kamar-Taj.
"He is undoubtedly the most powerful wizard among us and the most reliable companion."
"Master Ancient One said before she died that if she died, the next Supreme Sorcerer would be Leon."
"Vishanti has also approved this appointment."
"From now on, Archmage Leon is our new Supreme Sorcerer!"
Mordo announced loudly.
His expression was extremely solemn, because the appointment of the Supreme Sorcerer was closely related to the future of Kamar-Taj and even the earth, and no jokes were allowed.
Of course, this was just Mordo's own opinion.
When Doctor Strange became the Supreme Sorcerer, this title began to have some joyful attributes.
Mordo took the lead and saluted Leon.
Other wizards followed behind, and their plain robes bent down, like a wheat field bowing to the sun.
Leon also returned the salute after everyone stood up.
His face was calm.
In his heart, he was thinking about what Mordo had just said, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Has Vishanti's commission come down? Ancient One is really preparing food before troops move!
No wonder Mordo, who was crying silently, was not surprised when he told him that he was the next Supreme Sorcerer last night.
But no matter how speechless he was, Ancient One was already dead.
After performing the mage ceremony, Leon looked at Mordo: "Is this the end? I remember that the Supreme Sorcerer has to go through some tests before taking office."
Mordo nodded: "Normally,
You have to complete the test of Vishanti and defeat other powerful mages. "
"But Lord Leon, you have already been recognized by Vishanti, so these procedures are unnecessary."
Leon looked at the mages present: "But I am just a new mage after all, it is better to fight a battle to let everyone know my strength, so that I can have confidence when facing the invasion of the dimension in the future."
He said so.
But he was thinking the opposite.
-If he doesn't fight a battle first, when he invades the dimension in the future, I am afraid there will be many people who oppose him.
It is said that a new official takes office with three fires, so he will use his fists to teach these mages to understand the height of the world.
"This..." Mordo and the mages around him looked at Leon strangely.
Their eyes all meant the same thing: You can resist nuclear bombs, but you still come to fight with us? Do you want to beat us to death on the spot?
Seeing this, Leon made a seal: "I mean, just use magic to fight a battle. "
Modo finally understood and asked in a low voice: "I think it's okay, but are you sure? You've only been learning for more than a month!"
"Don't worry." Leon gave a firm look, "Watch my performance."
"Well... Use your strength when you are not sure, the Supreme Sorcerer must not lose." Mordo was still worried.
Then, he informed all the mages about the Supreme Sorcerer's challenge.
Because Ancient One has been the Supreme Sorcerer for a long time.
So no one present actually participated in this ceremony.
Especially when they heard that Superman did not intend to use physical strength.
They were all eager to try.
Half an hour later.
Lyon stood in the center of the martial arts training ground.
Magicians from Hong Kong, London, New York and other places formed a circle around 30 meters, and there was even a minotaur among them.
They gathered in twos and threes, chatting about the challenge ceremony.
Some talked about how other Supreme Sorcerers took office in ancient times, and some talked about the origin of this ceremony...
Cantonese, English and other languages were mixed together.
The martial arts training ground was crowded with people, and the lively atmosphere dispelled a lot of the sadness of the passing of Ancient One.
Mordo stood beside Leon and explained the rules.
"According to the previous challenge rules, the mage groups in each region selected representatives and took turns to challenge on stage. If the Supreme Sorcerer candidate needs to rest, then..."
"Wait." Leon suddenly stopped Mordo.
He looked around.
"I'm different from other Supreme Sorcerers. I'm more resistant to beatings, even nuclear bombs, so all of you come together."
He thought of something and added: "Of course, this is not to despise you, but to make you feel at ease about my strength."
"Hey, if you do this, something will happen... Woohoo! "Mordo's words were covered by Leon, and he was pushed out of the field again.
Lyon crossed his arms and said: "Master Mordo will also be one of you. Okay, the challenge begins now!"
The martial arts training ground was silent for a few seconds.
The mages looked at each other, hesitant.
