Heroes of Marvel Chapter 1080: Curiosity

Chapter 1080: Curiosity

Three days quickly pa.s.sed by. During these three days, Lin Rui diligently a.s.sisted in research and experiments at the Stark Industries building, without mentioning going back home.

In Tony’s eyes, Lin Rui seemed to have genuinely forgotten about the imminent events concerning Earth’s sorcerers that had been on his mind just a few days ago.

Therefore, after they completed a portion of their mission on this day, Tony allowed Lin Rui and Peter to go home. Three consecutive days of intensive mental work had taken a toll on them, and even though Lin Rui and Peter were young and not ordinary individuals, they still felt tired.

Vroom~

Lin Rui skillfully slipped into a sports car in the underground parking lot of the Stark Industries building. Soon, the empty underground parking lot echoed with the roar of the engine. As Lin Rui started Tony’s sports car, Peter had already settled into the pa.s.senger seat.

Vroom! Whoosh!~

Then, the engine roar intensified as the red sports car emitted a cloud of white smoke from its tires, racing forward in the next instant.

…

As Lin Rui drove Tony’s luxury sports car, carrying Peter home, far away in the Himalayan Mountains, the selection for the next Supreme Sorcerer among the Earth’s sorcerers, taking place in their secluded sanctuary, moved on to the next round.

Unsurprisingly, the five chosen young talents (now four, excluding Jack) successfully advanced to the next round, leaving only around ten young sorcerers with the chance to continue.

Among these ten talented young sorcerers, the most prominent one was undoubtedly Stephen Strange, a neurosurgeon from the United States.

Judging by the evaluations of Earth’s sorcerers, he was the most gifted sorcerer in nearly a century, surpa.s.sing other talented sorcerers in his comprehension of various forms of magic, including the three remaining members of the previous “Big Four.”

It wouldn’t be surprising if soon he became a standout on his own, rather than part of the Big Four.

After the conclusion of the third round of selection, Stephen Strange once again delved into the stone palace located in the backyard of the Himalayan sanctuary for the Earth’s sorcerers.

This palace, situated above the Himalayan Mountains, was connected to the three major Sanctums scattered across the Earth, making it a unique fourth Sanctum. Inside this palace resided the most comprehensive collection of magical texts belonging to the sorcerers, including some forbidden books of magic.

Due to Stephen Strange being recognized as the most promising sorcerer, he had the freedom to access the library at will. Of course, he was not the only one with such privilege; other talented young sorcerers held the same qualifications. However, the locked-away forbidden books of magic were not included in their reading and study materials.

Whoosh~

“In the Mirror Dimension… Where can I find this type of magic?” Inside the library, Stephen Strange sat before a wooden table, flipping through a thick and weighty book of magic, murmuring quietly to himself.

Stephen Strange had already mastered the foundational magic of the sorcerers to a considerable extent. At this point, he was particularly intrigued by the Mirror Dimension, a form of magic that could construct a unique s.p.a.ce.

However, despite searching through the library for quite some time, he hadn’t yet found the magic that could create a mirror dimension.

Tapping footsteps~

“The books you seek have been sealed away. At your current stage, you’re not yet capable of controlling such advanced magic.” Just as Stephen Strange murmured softly, he heard footsteps behind him, followed by a voice.

When Stephen Strange turned to look, he saw w.a.n.g strolling leisurely towards him. As a sorcerer and an important judge for the current selection, w.a.n.g was responsible for managing this stone palace.

The young talented sorcerers, including Stephen Strange, who devoted their full efforts to studying in the palace, were under w.a.n.g’s “supervision.”

“Haven’t I already mastered many forms of magic? Why can’t I learn more powerful advanced magic at this stage?” Upon hearing w.a.n.g’s words, Stephen Strange calmly inquired.

“Indeed, all of you are exceptionally talented sorcerers, but the Mirror Dimension is on a different level than the magic you have learned before. It is dangerous to learn such magic when your abilities have not reached that point,” w.a.n.g calmly replied to Stephen Strange’s questioning.

“Is that so? When will we reach the level where we can learn that kind of magic?” Stephen Strange furrowed his brows slightly, continuing to inquire after w.a.n.g’s explanation.

“Well… perhaps after this selection is over,” w.a.n.g gave a vague answer as he was unsure how to respond specifically.

“After the selection is over… Alright, I understand,” Stephen Strange replied simply upon receiving this answer.

“Okay then, continue your studies. I won’t disturb you any longer,” w.a.n.g greeted and turned to leave, as he had to check on the situation of the other individuals.

Tap, tap, tap~

Watching w.a.n.g’s figure disappear, Stephen Strange’s gaze flickered with thoughts. Shortly after w.a.n.g left, Stephen Strange closed the magic book in front of him and left the library and stone palace.

However, when he left the library, Stephen Strange took a slight detour, walking by the bookshelves that guarded the forbidden books of magic. With Stephen Strange’s memory, walking by them once was enough to fully remember their positions.

A few minutes later, Stephen Strange returned to his residence in the Himalayan Mountains. Sitting cross-legged on a mat, he meditated for a while.

Once he was certain that no one was paying attention to him, Stephen Strange swiftly formed intricate hand seals with his scarred hands in front of him. Soon, a series of complex magic seals were completed.

Huff, huff, huff~

After completing those magic seals, a magic portal with a diameter of about one foot appeared in front of him. Looking through this magic portal, he found himself facing a bookshelf in the library of the stone palace.

“This should be it…” Stephen Strange muttered softly, maintaining the stability of the magic portal.

In the next moment, he reached his hand through the magic portal and grabbed a magic book from the shelf on the other side. With no triggering of any restrictions, Stephen Strange easily retrieved the first forbidden book of magic.

Huff, huff, huff~

After obtaining the first forbidden book of magic, Stephen cautiously closed the magic portal. Although he was unsure if this forbidden book of magic was the one he needed, it would be enough for him to study for a while.
