Chapter 438: How much does a hanging ring cost?

"I have a talent for magic?" Tony showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Yes, Mr. Stark." Mordo said, "From your performance just now, it can be seen that you have a high talent for magic. Generally speaking, if someone who comes to Kamar-Taj to study can successfully open a portal when he first touches the hanging ring, it means that his magical talent is very outstanding."

As a super genius in science, Tony also has extraordinary talent in magic. After all, in some universes, Tony replaced Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme.

Of course, judging by performance, the one with the most magical talent at the moment is Spider-Man Peter's good friend Ned. After all, he was also able to open a portal the first time he took up the ring, and he could even open a portal from another universe. Although this was also because the universe was in a state of chaos at the time, it was still enough to prove how talented Ned was.

"Oh, I didn't expect that I'm actually a genius in magic." Tony became proud immediately after learning that he actually had a talent for magic. However, he suddenly remembered that Banner next to him was a little depressed because he couldn't open the portal. He quickly coughed a few times and stopped showing off.

"Tony, congratulations." However, Banner did not feel sad because he had no magical talent. For him, testing himself to find out if he had any magical talent was just to satisfy his curiosity.

"What are you congratulating me for? I'm not staying here." Tony waved his hand and put the ring he had just taken off back into Mordo's hand.

Banner followed Tony's actions and put the ring back into Mordo's hand.

However, after Tony returned the ring, he suddenly noticed the group of Eternals. He saw that it seemed that each of the Eternals had opened a portal in front of them.

"Wait, Master Mordo, you said that those who can open a portal are magical geniuses? Then are all these guys geniuses?" Tony looked at the Eternals who were talking and laughing at the portal, and suddenly said to Mordo. He suddenly felt that the title of magical genius was a bit cheap. After all, besides him, there was a group of "magic geniuses" in front of him.

"Well... yes, they are all very talented people." Mordo said after hesitating for a while. He didn't know why so many people with extremely high magical talents suddenly appeared today. They were rarely seen in the past few years or even decades, but today a lot of them suddenly appeared.

"Tony, they are all Eternals. Their bodies are definitely different from us humans. Maybe their body structure is very suitable for magic?" Banner patted Tony's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Not human?" Mordo frowned and looked at Banner in confusion. Mordo was a little confused as to why Banner said that these people were not human?

"Oh, they are Eternals, not ordinary humans." Tony looked at Mordo and asked questions, and also told him directly about the Eternals.

"Tony? Can you tell me about this kind of thing?" Banner raised his eyebrows and whispered to Tony.

"It's okay. These doubts will be solved sooner or later anyway." Tony said he didn't care. After all, after this incident, the Eternals will establish a cooperative relationship with Kamar-Taj for a period of time. The mages of Kamar-Taj will open the portal to assist the Eternals in fighting the Deviants. And they will sooner or later discover the differences between the Eternals and humans, so it's no big deal even if he points it out now.

Mordo listened to the conversation between the two and nodded after taking a look at the group of Eternals. He had originally planned to see if he could invite these people to join Kamar-Taj. After all, these people were good materials for learning magic. If they were all invited to Kamar-Taj, it would make Kamar-Taj even more powerful in the future.

However, now that he knew they were not humans but aliens, Mordo gave up the idea. He was not sure whether Kamar-Taj could recruit races other than humans. Anyway, there was no precedent for such a thing in his memory, so he decided to leave it to Ancient One to deal with.

Speaking of the alien wizard in Kamar-Taj, although Mordo himself has never seen one, there is indeed a precedent. For example, in Guardians of the Galaxy, when the Marauder team broke into Star-Lord's spaceship, there was an alien in the Marauder team who used Kamar-Taj magic.

Of course, the movie did not explain how this alien learned the magic of Kamar-Taj, nor did it explain what the relationship between it and Kamar-Taj was. It is likely that the character in the comics just made a cameo appearance.

Back to the topic, after letting everyone experience the feeling of being a Kamar-Taj wizard, Mordo began to collect the Hanging Ring. The Hanging Ring is a treasure exclusive to Kamar-Taj and it is not worth giving it to outsiders casually. Only by joining Kamar-Taj can one have his own Hanging Ring.

Tony watched Mordo put the rings back on the copper plate one by one, touched his chin, and then said to Mordo: "Mordo, do you sell this kind of rings in Kamar-Taj?"

Tony really wanted to get one of this magical ring. After all, with this ring, he could open a portal anytime and anywhere. This portal, which was as convenient as a space channel, was something Tony had already seen in Noah's hands.

"Sorry, Mr. Stark, this thing is not for sale to the public, but as long as you are willing to join Kamar-Taj, we will give you one for free. The same goes for the other gentlemen and ladies." Mordo shook his head, rejected Tony's request, then looked at everyone and said.

"Well, that's a pity, but I don't plan on joining any religious organization or anything like that." Tony spread his hands, indicating that he was not interested in joining Kamar-Taj. After all, his life was pretty good now, and he didn't have any children yet, so he didn't want to join Kamar-Taj and become a monk.

The Eternals were also a little disappointed. If they could get these rings, they wouldn't have to come here to ask the mages here to help them. They could just wear them on their hands, open the portal themselves, and start looking for Deviants all over the map.

After that, the communication in the hall continued, and everyone, led by Mordo, continued to visit Kamar-Taj, such as the mage body training scene they saw before entering the door, and Kamar-Taj's huge library. They ended their journey only after Noah and Ajak came out of the hall door.
