Chapter 1088: The Transaction with the Supreme Mage, the Non-Existent True Prophecy

"This is a reasonable change." Yali said confidently, "The Gaius family is a singularity on the timeline. Everything they say and do will become part of the timeline and blend into it perfectly."

"Yes! Gaius has always been enviable.

It is not affected by the timeline, but it can affect the direction of the timeline in turn. "Ancient One said with emotion without comment, "I don't want you to affect Strange's fate. This may cause Kamar-Taj to lose an excellent successor."

"But I have already promised him." Aaron said with an embarrassed look, "Supreme Sorcerer, you should know how much Gaius values ​​his promises.

In a day's time, Strange will make his choice, but no matter what he chooses, I will heal his hands."

“How about this!

After I heal him, you can secretly cut off his hands."

Hearing this, Gu Yi's face twitched unconsciously.

This kind of thing should never be done, the potential risks are too great.

“I’m afraid not. Once is a coincidence, twice is a conspiracy.

I don't want the best student I've ever trained to defect from Kamar-Taj."

"That makes sense." Aaron nodded thoughtfully, "How about... breaking his legs!"

"Ha!" Ancient One smiled speechlessly, "It's better to avoid such jokes as much as possible. If Strange experiences such a setback again, he might collapse.

Even if he hadn't collapsed, he couldn't have climbed to Kamar-Taj without his legs."

"Master, have you forgotten that Stephen Strange owes you three conditions!"

What an assist!

Aaron silently gave Jane a thumbs up in his heart.

He didn't want to drag it on any longer with Ancient One. It would be bad if he was forced to confront Strange directly.

"I almost forgot." Aaron slapped his forehead and smiled shyly under the playful gaze of Ancient One, "Strange will make a choice tomorrow. After healing his hands, I will let him go to Nepal to find Kamar-Taj.

As for how the Supreme Sorcerer arranges him in the future, that has nothing to do with me."

"Thank you, but..." Gu Yi smiled faintly and reminded: "Don't act too deliberate."

"I have experience and I guarantee I'll be professional enough."

"That's good." Ancient One breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the portal and returned to Kamar-Taj.

"Wait a moment, Master Ancient One." Aaron seemed to have thought of something and spoke out to stop him.

"Anything else?"

"Well, it suddenly occurred to me how little I knew about my two ancestors.

But Kamar-Taj must have relevant records, can you lend them to me to read?"

Gu Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in confusion.

This is a deal, a deal tacitly agreed upon by both parties.

If Aaron didn't put any obstacles in the way of the next successor to the Supreme Sorcerer, she would unconditionally hand over all the information to him.

"It's understandable that you want to check those records, and you are always welcome to Kamar-Taj."

"You mean I have to go to Kamar-Taj in person?" Aaron was stunned and asked uncertainly: "Can't you just send it to me?"

“I’m sorry, the records of the first two Gaius are also highly confidential in Kamar-Taj, and only the Supreme Sorcerer can read them.

The book is locked in the restricted section of the library and cannot leave Kamar-Taj according to regulations."

"Is it necessary to be so nervous?"

"That record was written by the Supreme Sorcerer Agamotto himself and has very important commemorative significance." Ancient One said seriously, and then walked into the portal.

"Tsk!" Aaron curled his lips and cursed in a low voice: "This old fox is really difficult to deal with."

"Master, why do you say that?" Jane asked in confusion. "Although you have to go to Kamar-Taj in person, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. It's just a change of trading venue."

"Jane, why didn't I find you so cute before!" Aaron scratched her nose, "Believe it or not, if I had called her a second later, she would have gone back to Kamar-Taj and pretended that this had never happened.

And it was fortunate that I persuaded Wanda to take Hela out in advance, otherwise she could have taken advantage of me. "

simple:......

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Stephen Strange, who had changed into a clean set of clothes, got out of the taxi and walked into Gaius's Divination House for the second time with heavy steps.

Aaron was pretending to flip through the prophecy book. When he saw him come in, a hint of amusement immediately appeared on his face. "Have you made your choice?"

Strange nodded silently, reluctantly took off the watch on his wrist and carefully placed it in a storage box.

"Boring, I thought you would choose the contract!"

"This watch is better than any contract." Strange said very seriously, "I went to find Christine. I don't know how I told her that my left hand has recovered, and I don't know how I told her that you want to use this watch as collateral."

"She agreed?"

Strange sighed heavily, "She thinks I'm stupid. I can't tell the difference between a watch and a hand."

"I think you're stupid, too." Aaron said disdainfully, "How could you let her know about this?"

Strange: ...

"It doesn't matter. Can my right hand be cured?"

"Okay," Aaron said simply, and then asked Jane to pour a bottle of Phoenix Tears into his right hand.

Unlike the panic of yesterday, Strange carefully felt the condition of his right hand this time, and watched in amazement as the tiny scars on his hand healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“It’s really… unbelievable.”

Strange clenched his right fist and felt the long-lost strength. He couldn't help but cry for joy and kept fiddling with his nimble fingers, fearing that this was a dream.

"This miraculous medicine will leave you a place in medical history."

"I don't want it." Aaron said with disdain, "In fact, I have at least nine ways to heal your hands, but using Phoenix Tears directly is the cheapest in terms of time cost."

Strange's mouth twitched, and his voice was a little more confident: "I don't know how to thank you, but if you want six million, I will pay it back within three years."

His hands were like money printing machines, so he hardly saved any money before.

Luxury cars, luxury houses, fine wines, famous watches, all kinds of custom-made clothes...in short, just spending as much as you can.

But after this disaster, he also realized the importance of money and that nothing can be achieved without it.

For a famous and talented surgeon, several million dollars can be earned back by performing a few more operations. It's just that he has to live a tighter life in the next three years.

"The money isn't that important. It's OK as long as I can pay it back." Aaron waved his hand indifferently. "My three conditions..."

"Have you made up your mind?"

Strange suddenly perked up. The recovery of his hands made him no longer worry about money, but those three conditions were debts of favor, and they were debts of favor that could redeem the watch that Christine gave him.

If he can't pay it back, he will feel guilty when he sees Christine.

"That's about right!" Aaron looked at him playfully and said, "The first condition is relatively simple. When you go back, go confess to Christine!

Tell her you like her and that you want to spend the rest of your life with her."

"what?"

"What?" Aaron said unhappily, "I'm helping you. Otherwise, when she leaves you one day, you'll have to spend the rest of your life in regret."

"But, but..." Strange said, unable to hide his embarrassment, "I have nothing now, I..."

"Inferiority complex?" Aaron rolled his eyes. "When you had everything, didn't you do anything?"

"This is different."

“Yes, it is indeed different.

Not only do you have nothing now, you are also in debt."

Strange was speechless for a moment, but quickly responded, "So I can't pursue her under this circumstance. I am now a burden."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Aaron clapped his hands slowly, "Good guy, really good guy.

You are so stubborn! You are so thin-skinned, there is a high possibility that you will end up alone in the future."

"No way!"

"Go out and take a look at my sign. This is a fortune-telling house. You'd better not doubt the intuition of a fortune-teller." Aaron laughed, "Go and confess to her. Maybe she will agree!"

"I think! This still needs long-term consideration." Strange said at a loss, but he unconsciously changed his opinion of Aaron in his heart.

Yesterday he was a mysterious doctor, with an air of superiority, and his nonchalant attitude made it almost impossible to look him in the face, but today he was an approachable... creditor, quite easy to talk to.

"It's a long-term plan!

I'm just asking you, is it within your ability to confess your feelings to Christine?"

"Yes."

"Isn't it immoral? Or is it against the law?"

"Yes."

"Then you can't refuse, right?"

Strange pursed his lips and nodded silently.

"Then what should you do?" Aaron asked meaningfully.

"Confess to Christine."

Aaron nodded with satisfaction, "That's right!

Compared with the woman I love, face and dignity can be put aside. "

Strange smiled forcefully, then pointed at his clothes with both hands and said with depression and shame, "This may be the most shabby confession.

If she doesn’t accept me, I will be ashamed. If she accepts me, I will also feel ashamed.”

"Bitches are all pretentious." Aaron glanced at him with contempt, but what he said next made Strange burst into tears of gratitude.

"I can lend you some more money, enough for you to buy a bouquet of roses, a diamond ring, and a fireworks display at night."

"Is this...appropriate?"

"A genius surgeon must have some sense of ritual!" Aaron looked at him with some sympathy.

As expected, Stephen Strange is completely tied to Kamar-Taj for the rest of his life.

The Supreme Sorcerer, who is shouldering an important mission and a fighter among cattle and horses, should try his best not to leave any regrets before officially signing a lifetime labor contract with Ancient One, that old bastard who has quit.

This is also one of the few humane care and compensations he gave to Strange. After all, what will happen next...

"Master, there is a new and very important prophecy."

The prophecy book on the table suddenly spoke, which scared Strange.

"The book, the book is talking?" Strange pointed at the prophecy book incoherently, "How can it talk?"

"What a fuss." Aaron waved his hand, then patted the face cover of the prophecy book. "I'm a fortune teller. It's reasonable for me to have a prophecy book that can predict the future!"

“Is this, this, this reasonable?

I think I've only seen books that predict the future in movies."

“Logically speaking, Phoenix Tears shouldn’t exist, but your hand was healed by Phoenix Tears.

Doctor Strange, I think it is necessary to remind you that the world has changed a long time ago, and supernatural powers are common. You should get used to it as soon as possible. "Aaron said earnestly, and then opened the prophecy book.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes wide in pretended shock, his gaze constantly moving between Strange and the book of prophecy.

"What's wrong?" Strange asked with a strange look on his face, "Could this prophecy be related to me?"

"Stephen Strange." Aaron looked at him in doubt. "Let me confirm again, your name is Stephen Strange, right?"

"It can't really be related to me!"

Strange was flattered, and thoughts flooded his mind.

Did he succeed in his confession and live a happy life with Christine that everyone envied?

This...is not impossible!

If you survive a disaster, you will be blessed in the future, and your luck will rebound.

Thinking of this, Strange straightened his back immediately, "What prophecy? Just tell me, I can handle it."

"I think it's better for you not to know." Aaron glanced at the blank pages without words, closed the prophecy book and said mysteriously, "But I think I know what the second thing I want you to do is."

"What?"

"Come with me to Nepal and become a disciple of the Ancient One of Kamar-Taj." Aaron said without any room for argument. His serious expression made Strange extremely depressed.

He had thought of using the prophecy to get Strange to go to Kamar-Taj yesterday. It would allow him to maintain his image as a master without appearing too deliberate.

As for the so-called third thing...it's just an insurance policy, in case Strange becomes the Sorcerer Supreme and plots against him like the Ancient One did.

"What are you doing in Nepal?" Strange asked in confusion, "And who is Ancient One?"

"Don't ask so many questions. In short, this condition is within your ability and does not violate moral laws. You have no right to refuse.

And this matter cannot be delayed. "Aaron said very seriously, and then winked at Jane, "Jane, book two tickets to Nepal."

"Today's?"

Aaron glanced at Strange, "Tomorrow! Give him a day to confess to Christine."

"Master, you are as kind and tolerant as ever."

"Needless to say, I have done my best to achieve this, and I have a clear conscience."

"Um..." Strange raised his hand weakly, "At least tell me what the prophecy is! Otherwise I don't know how to explain it to Christine."
