A retired reincarnation of a certain American film

Texas.

Mephisto.

trace?

"..."

When Luke heard this, he looked at Hill who put down the phone. He couldn't help but be stunned for a second or two, and then looked at Hill in disbelief.

"Are you sure it's Mephisto?"

"Can't be wrong."

Hill looked at the photo sent on his phone and turned the phone screen directly to Luke: "I've seen Mephisto with you. This is him."

Luke looked at the phone screen.

Enter the eyes.

A middle-aged and elderly British gentleman with some white hair.

It was exactly what Mephisto looked like when he was projected from the hell dimension to the earth.

but……

How could Mephisto end up on Earth?

He's crazy?

Aren't you afraid that Gu Yi will find out and give him a slap in the face?

etc.

Ancient One?

Luke's thoughts were spinning rapidly.

The next second.

He turned around directly, and then, with a sudden burst of light, he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Hill blinked.

at this time.

Buzz!

Before Hill could react, Luke, who had just disappeared in front of her, appeared in front of her again accompanied by light.

only……

Luke's face looked a little strange.

Hill came to his senses.

"What's wrong."

"not at home."

"...Why aren't you at home?"

"..."

Luke didn't answer, but frowned.

He had just visited Kama Taj and planned to find Ancient One.

But the Ancient One wasn't home.

To be precise, Ancient One is not on earth.

Hill looked at Luke, who was looking down in deep thought, and couldn't help but speak out again.

"Luke."

"ah!"

Luke looked at Hill who waved his hand in front of his eyes, raised his eyes, glanced at Hill, reacted, thought about it, and said to Hill: "Let's go."

Hill spoke subconsciously.

"Where to go?"

"Bleecker Street."

Luke spoke, grabbed Hill's right hand, and then disappeared instantly.

Bleecker Street is located in Manhattan, not far from Fifth Avenue. If you drive, it only takes half an hour at most if there is no traffic jam.

If you don't drive...

one second!

117A Bleecker Street.

"Buzz!"

"…Shet."

Hill's eyes only felt blurry, and then he looked at the street in front of him with people walking around, and subconsciously uttered a curse word: "You're crazy..."

Luke knew what Hill wanted to say and interrupted directly: "Don't worry, they can't see us."

As soon as these words came out.

Hill then realized that Luke was not lying.

Logically speaking, the magical appearance of the two should attract the attention of the people walking back and forth on the street.

Even if the pedestrians on the street across the road are blind, it doesn't mean that the pedestrians on the street close to the two of them are also blind.

Hill looked puzzled at the pedestrian in front of him, who was almost close to him, but seemed to have not seen her and was walking away.

"what happened."

"A cover-up."

Luke said this, then turned around and opened the door of the building in front of him that seemed to have some ideas.

The door opened quickly.

Uncle Ba is wearing a dark yellow mage robe...

wrong.

It is Karma Taj, Supreme Mage, Disciple of His Excellency the Ancient One, Guardian of the New York Temple, Casillas.

Luke and Casillas know each other.

After he officially took up his duties as director of the New York State FBI, the first person he visited was Casillas.

So Casillas was not surprised when he saw Luke, but politely welcomed Luke and Hill in at the door.

After Hill came in, he realized that this was not the only strange thing.

Such as the space here.

She had just looked at the building here outside, but the difference between the space inside and what was shown outside could be seen almost at a glance.

The space inside is much larger than what appears outside.

the reason is simple.

Whose house also has a pasture with blue sky, white clouds and green grass?

Hill was a little surprised and looked strange, but it appeared harmoniously on the right side of the living room, like a large pasture that was perfectly connected to the living room.

Casillas saw Hill's gaze, smiled, waved his right sleeve, and in an instant, the ranch disappeared without a trace.

"A little trick."

"really."

Luke nodded in agreement with Casillas' explanation, and then directly stated the purpose of his trip.

"Where is the Sorcerer Supreme?"

"What's wrong."

"Mephisto is running up."

"..."

The expression on Casillas's face that looked like Uncle Ba's smile was suddenly stunned, and then he stretched out his right hand, and then, a sheepskin scroll appeared in his hand.

"Give."

"what."

"Emperor Weishan."

"..."

Luke raised his eyebrows, took the parchment scroll handed over by Casillas, and unfolded it directly.

Enter the eyes.

A portrait of a middle-aged man wearing a suit and leather shoes with an extremely confident expression appeared in Luke's sight.

Luke looked at the photo of this person and immediately said the name of the person in the portrait.

"Stephen Strange!"

"..."

Hill on the side looked at Luke subconsciously and remembered the name in his mind.

Casillas glanced at Luke subconsciously, then nodded and said, "Yes."

When Luke saw this portrait, he already understood why the Ancient One was no longer on Earth.

He closed the sheepskin scroll in his hand again and gave it back to Casillas: "So, Emperor Weishan plans to kill the donkey?"

It's early.

And it was a full two years early.

Could it be that Emperor Weishan felt threatened by his last conversation with Gu Yi at Kama Taj, so he moved the time forward?

Or……

Was this the time?

Luke's thoughts turned and he came to a conclusion.

He preferred the second answer.

the reason is simple.

Emperor Weishan's new spokesperson cannot be chosen by chance.

One sentence.

This is just like the position of the emperor. If the prince has no merit at all, will he be able to control the ministers in the court even if he is on the throne?

The ministers here refer to the thousands of mages in the three major temples of Kama Taj today.

so……

Emperor Weishan also needs to find a whetstone for Stephen Strange, who they have chosen to be in charge. While the old and new are changing, Stephen Strange can be able to suppress those who are the same as the ancients in the court. Dear ministers.

Therefore, this takes time, and from this point of view, it is normal for Weishan Emperor to start the layout at this time.

As for the layout.

Of course, Stephen Strange, who is now at the forefront of the New York surgical community, is willing to switch from science to metaphysics.

"So the Supreme Mage was sent away by Emperor Weishan because of this incident?"

"have no idea."

"Um?"

"The Supreme Mage left three months ago, and this parchment appeared in my place a month ago."

"..."

Luke touched his chin and looked at Casillas: "You mean, this thing was given to you directly by Emperor Weishan."

Casillas met Luke's gaze and nodded.

"Yes."

"hiss!"

Luke couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and then, as if he thought of something, he looked at Casillas thoughtfully and lowered his tone: "So, you know that the Supreme Mage and Black..."

Casillas nodded directly without waiting for Luke to finish.

His tone also bottomed out slightly.

"Yes."

"Good guy."

Luke exclaimed, and then looked at Casillas with a look that he didn't quite understand.

He knew how Stephen Strange replaced the Ancient One and became the new leader of Karma Taj under the control of Emperor Weishan.

Emperor Veshand prepared a whetstone for Stephen Strange.

The whetstone is Dormammu of the Dark Dimension.

but……

It was Casillas in front of him who was sharpening the knife.

Luke's thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, and then he noticed the expression on Casillas's face: "So, you stand with Emperor Weishan?"

The expression on Casillas's face did not change.

"Do I have a choice?"

"No."

Luke shook his head.

Casillas is the guardian of the Karma Taj New York Temple.

His power also comes from Emperor Weishan. Emperor Weishan gives him power, and he is the guardian of the New York Temple. But Emperor Weishan doesn't give it, Casillas is just Casillas.

Luke was a little curious.

"What's the benefit?"

"Return to Emperor Weishan."

Casillas told the story without any hesitation, and Emperor Vishan promised him reward.

Either he refuses Emperor Weishan's mission, has his power taken back by Emperor Weishan, and becomes an ordinary person, or even miserable.

Either...

He accepted the mission of Emperor Weishan and became the sword holder of the new Supreme Mage. After the sword was sharpened, he expected Emperor Weishan to fulfill his promise and return to Emperor Weishan.

Seems like a choice.

Actually.

No choice.

As long as Casillas doesn't want to become an ordinary person or even worse, there is only one answer to this multiple-choice question.

Of course.

He could also postpone the time, wait for the Supreme Mage to return, and then tell the Supreme Mage about the matter.

After all, Casillas is the proud disciple of Ancient One.

Otherwise, why would Luke have no strangers to Casillas?

Because Ancient One specifically told Casillas.

but……

Will Visanti give Casillas a chance to delay time?

Luke touched his chin.

"when."

"Soon."

Casillas shook his head and looked at Luke: "Before the end of this month, we can't delay it any longer."

Luke chuckled.

"Who said that."

"You have a solution."

Casillas's eyes lit up.

Luke smiled brightly: "Any conspiracy and conspiracy are not enough in the face of absolute power. I don't like this Stephen Strange."

The words just fell.

A buzzing sound.

The entire New York Temple felt like an earthquake at this moment, and the entire building shook.

Casillas' expression changed.

The next second.

a voice.

To be precise, the two words were mixed with middle-aged male voices, female voices, and even old male voices, which sounded in Lu Ke's ears.
