Chapter 75 New York Sanctuary
Li Ji teased Peter a few times and then stopped teasing him. Peter was a little stunned and it was not very interesting to tease him. But even so, Li Ji still worried and scared Peter for a long time. After all, Li Ji's movements were too confusing.
In the coffee shop, Li Ji gave Peter a thumbs up. Inside the glass wall, Li Ji knocked on the window a few times as Peter passed by. At the fire scene, Li Ji even put on a firefighting suit and got into the fire truck. Peter even got a little excited. I wonder if I have seen the wrong person. But whenever Peter called Li Ji, Li Ji seemed like nothing had happened, which made Peter a little annoyed.
Li Ji didn't know what Peter's troubles were. He was also very troubled these days - there was actually a shift change at the New York Sanctuary!
The original leader of the New York Sanctuary was Chicliffe Luther, a very casual mage who ignored what was happening outside the window and only stayed in the Sanctuary. The number of times he left the Sanctuary every year was pitiful. He would not leave the sanctuary until the sky fell in New York. It is precisely because of his laissez-faire attitude that the dark power in New York has expanded rapidly.
After some investigation, Ancient One discovered that the source of Hulk's dark power was New York, and then dismissed Chicliffe Luther. What replaced him was not the familiar Doctor Strange, who had not yet become the disciple of the Ancient One, nor the King, but Baron Mordo, who was supposed to be in charge of the London Sanctuary.
"How could it be him?" Li Ji's face didn't look good. He hadn't yet made a clear distinction between good and evil in Baron Mordo, but one thing he was quite sure was that Baron Mordo hated him. 35xs
Li Ji didn't know where he had offended him. Anyway, he had never been kind to Li Ji. If Gu Yi didn't know that he was staying in New York, Li Ji didn't believe it. Now Gu Yi sent Baron Modo to him. Come here, Li Ji really doesn't understand what Gu Yi means.
"Gu Yi is deliberately trying to create trouble for me." Li Ji's face didn't look good, especially since Gu Yi had gotten Li Ji's number from someone unknown and informed Li Ji of this matter, which made Li Ji even more worried. I can't figure it out.
"Do you want me to keep a low profile? But I am obviously a good and law-abiding citizen in New York. I think the city government should give me a certificate." Li Ji thinks that he has done nothing extraordinary in New York. After all, he also knows that this is a gathering place for millions of people. If an accident occurs, there will be countless casualties.
Baron Mordo took office on New Year's Day, and what's even more terrible is that Gu Yi actually arranged for Li Ji to pick up Baron Mordo at the airport! Li Ji almost wanted to scold Gu Yi for being an old woman, but after weighing it, he didn't say it. After all, with Gu Yi's strength, who knew if she would find out if he scolded her.
……
Baron Mordo's plane landed slowly at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Li Ji stood in the pick-up hall and kept looking at his watch. Every extra second of waiting seemed like torture. Li Ji just wanted to get Baron Mordo out of the way quickly. Just pick him up and take him to the sanctuary, and that's it. 35xs
The people taking the opportunity gradually appeared in the passage. Li Ji saw Baron Modo at a glance and immediately had the idea of turning around and leaving. Baron Mordo was actually wearing a mage outfit, and he was holding a staff in his hand! However, there was a lot of tape wrapped around the staff, and there was also a shipping mark, indicating that the staff was brought over via airplane consignment.
It was just that Li Ji had to do the tasks given by Gu Yi. At this stage, Gu Yi was still an unmatched boss for Li Ji. He had to endure the discomfort, picked up Baron Mordo, and brought him to the parking lot. field.
In the parking lot, Li Ji walked straight towards a Rolls-Royce. Since he had to pick up Baron Mordo, Li Ji's sports cars were not suitable, so he asked Tony to borrow a Rolls-Royce. Well, Tony said no. The kind that paid off.
……
Sitting in the car, Li Ji reluctantly chatted with Baron Modu.
"Karl, aren't you a European? You should be in the London Sanctuary. Why are you coming to the New York Sanctuary?" Li Ji asked straight to the point.
"The darkness in New York is spreading. Apart from the Ancient One Master, I am the only one who has the ability to prevent the growth of darkness. Therefore, I request the Ancient One Master to sit in New York." Baron Mordo spoke like he was reciting poetry, sentence by sentence. , which made Li Ji feel a little unhappy.
"It turns out that I applied for transfer myself! It's true that although there are many Kama Taj mages, those with some strength are really rare. Baron Mordo can be regarded as a short general." Although Li Ji was still not happy, he just Can accept this fact.
"In the center of Greenwich Village, 177a Brick Street is right here." Li Ji parked the Rolls-Royce in front of an old building. The door of the building was still made of wood.
"It's time for you to get out of the car." Li Ji urged. He just wanted to stay away from Baron Modu.
"Li Ji, are you in a hurry to leave?" Baron Modu asked.
Li Ji nodded and admitted his thoughts simply.
"Sorry, you can't leave tonight. After tonight, it will be New Year's Day. The Sanctuary is the origin node of magic. Every New Year's Day, a magic tide will be radiated. It needs to be suppressed by those who sit in the Sanctuary. Ancient Master Mage said that this year's magic tide The power is extremely huge, and I need your help to suppress it." Baron Modu took out a piece of paper, which was handwritten in Chinese by Gu Yi.
"Li Ji, help Karl, he is not strong enough to suppress such a terrifying magic tide."
Li Ji grinned, why did Gu Yi find something to do for himself all day long? He knew that Baron Mordo couldn't suppress him, so why don't you just change someone else to suppress him, or come here in person?
Li Ji swore that this was the last time he would obey Ancient One's mission. "What will happen if the suppression of the magic tide fails?"
"Magic power will overflow throughout North America, and the silent darkness will grow rapidly under the nourishment of magic power." What Baron Mordo said was quite scary, but he didn't speak human words at all. Li Ji couldn't understand what he was saying at all. What a riddle.
"Take me in." Li Ji still has a certain understanding of the sanctuary. When he goes in by himself, he will see a completely different scene than when he goes in with Baron Mordo.
Baron Mordo opened the door. It looked like an old antique store. When Li Ji stepped into it, it transformed into a huge three-story building. The first floor was a living room, a dining room and a public library, and the second floor was It's the living area.
"Is the sanctuary considered a dimensional space?" Li Ji followed Baron Modo to the third floor.
The third floor is the most important area in the sanctuary. It is a quiet room for mages to practice meditation, as well as a secret library. There are some powerful magic props hidden in the secret library, but from the look of Baron Mordo, it seems that he has no plans. Let Li Ji go in and open his eyes.
"Are we just going to sit here?"
