Chapter 1034: Strange becomes more qualified

"So, what are you two doing here?" Seeing that Strange was too frightened to say anything more because of Ancient One's questioning, Noah turned his gaze to Tony and Banner and asked.

"Nothing special, just come here to visit Master Ancient One. We have been stuck in the lab for so long, if we don't come out to get some fresh air, we will probably get sick." Tony said, raising the teacup in his hand and taking a sip of hot tea. At first, he didn't like tea, but after drinking it a few times in Kamar-Taj, he gradually liked the taste. Of course, this is also due to the high quality of Kamar-Taj's tea.

"Tony is right. I also think it's time to come out and relax. Then we saw the news about Strange's accident, and then saw his photo through certain channels. We speculated that he might have come to Kamar-Taj, so we found our way here. It's been quite quiet here recently." Banner also spoke.

"Car accident?" Noah looked at the scars on Strange's hands, and noticed that he was holding the cup steadily, without any trembling or weakness due to nerve damage.

Strange's fate seems to be continuing along the established trajectory without much disruption. Hmm... Meeting Tony and Banner in advance may be the only change? Under normal circumstances, these three people will not meet until the eve of Thanos' invasion.

"That was indeed not a pleasant experience for me. However, it also taught me a lesson: I should never make phone calls while driving in the future." Strange heard Banner talking about the past, half-jokingly, as if that experience did not leave too much shadow in his heart.

"But now my hand has fully recovered, thanks to Ms. Ajak, who helped heal my injury." Strange put down the cup, looked at the scar on his hand and murmured.

"Ajak?" Noah then remembered that Ajak had been living in seclusion in Kamar-Taj since then. With her ability, healing Strange's injuries was a piece of cake.

"Since your injury has healed, why do you still have these scars on your hands?" Noah asked in confusion. It was because of these scars that he mistakenly thought that Strange's injury had not yet fully healed. After all, with Ajak's ability, it is not difficult to remove these scars.

"Oh, I deliberately let Ms. Ajak leave these scars." Strange gently stroked the scars on his hands, his eyes deep and calm, and slowly spoke, "They are like marks engraved in my life, constantly reminding me how stupid my arrogance was. I used to be conceited and frivolous, thinking that I could control everything with my superb medical skills, but I didn't expect an accident to make me fall from the peak of my life to the bottom in an instant. Those dark days are a pain that I will never forget in my life."

He paused for a moment, rubbing his fingers over the scars, as if touching the unbearable past. "These scars are like alarm bells. Every time I look at them, I can recall the despair and helplessness I felt at that time. It is precisely because of those experiences that I fully understand that people should not be blinded by temporary achievements. During my time in Kamar-Taj, I not only learned how to control magic, but more importantly, I learned humility and respect..."

The Ancient One, who was sitting on the throne above, witnessed Strange's profound self-realization, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that Strange could grow rapidly through experience and reach such a mature and stable state now, the Ancient One became more and more certain in his heart that the day when he would be entrusted with the responsibility of the Supreme Sorcerer was not far away.

"I see." Noah nodded slightly, expressing his understanding of Strange's experience.

"Speaking of which, Noah, you suddenly came back to Earth from space this time. Is there something special going to happen?" Tony's curiosity was aroused, and he suddenly asked. In his opinion, Noah seemed to be very busy in space on weekdays. The last time he came back, he rushed back in a hurry. This time he suddenly returned, perhaps because something important happened.

"It's nothing major. The things I had to deal with in the universe have almost come to an end, so I took the time to come back to Earth to take a look." Noah shrugged and explained with a relaxed look, and then continued, "This time I came back, I also brought a few friends I met in the universe. I will introduce them to you later."

"Friends from the universe? Aliens?" Tony was immediately interested when he heard this. The aliens he had met before were either like Thor and Ajak, who looked exactly like humans and were difficult to tell apart; or like the Chitauri, who were full of hostility and could not communicate normally. Now that Noah mentioned the friends he brought back from the universe, it greatly aroused his curiosity about alien life, and he looked forward to taking this opportunity to learn more about unknown existences.

"Well... not all of them are aliens. There is an Earthling and an Earth raccoon among them." Noah hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly. However, his words left everyone present confused.

"Wait, you mean you brought back an Earthling from the universe? And an Earth raccoon?" Tony was confused. He really couldn't understand why there would be other Earthlings in the universe, let alone an Earth raccoon. This was really incredible.

"Well, you'll understand once you get to know them. He was abducted by aliens when he was a child and has lived in the universe for decades." Noah nodded calmly and explained.

"I never thought that something like this would happen. It seems that my experience over the past few decades has been too limited." Strange, who was standing by, was surprised when he heard this. Thinking back to the first half of his life, he had been immersed in the field of medicine and thought he knew enough about the world, but he didn't expect that such a bizarre thing had happened on Earth. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Wow, that guy must have had a great experience!" Tony raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He also didn't expect such a strange thing to happen, and the scenes often seen in science fiction movies emerged in his mind. A huge UFO landed on the earth silently, and a dazzling light shot out, engulfing the unsuspecting humans and taking them to the vast universe.

Thinking of this, he became more and more curious about the earthling who had lived in the universe for decades as mentioned by Noah.

"It's really exciting." Noah touched his chin and thought, Star-Lord is more or less one of the protagonists of the comics, and those ups and downs, adventures and challenges are not something that ordinary people can have, so it is naturally very exciting.
