Chapter 59: Ancient One Magician's Recognition
Ancient One is a person who can be regarded as the ceiling of the magician world since the decline of the extraordinary in this world.
Many words can be applied to the Ancient One, such as wisdom, indifference, strength, and gentleness.
The only shortcoming that can't be considered a shortcoming is that he is too lax with his disciples, from Mordo to Kaecilius, and from Kaecilius to Doctor Strange.
These disciples that Ancient One had placed high hopes on all met with various accidents.
High hopes bring disappointment.
Ancient One's subsequent bizarre and 'funny' death was perhaps a form of giving up.
So Roy decided to go to Kamar-Taj from the beginning, preparing to become the next Sorcerer Supreme, taking over the entire Kamar-Taj and even the entire magician world on Earth.
This is also the reason why Roy acted so strong from the moment he met Mordo.
In Roy's opinion, Mordo has some minor flaws.
As the founding disciple of the Ancient One magician, Mordo has some qualifications and strength, but not much.
Because of his status, all previous magician apprentices were trained by Mo Du.
This also earned Modu great fame in Kamar-Taj.
Coupled with Mordo's original character flaw of being a bit too picky, he developed an arrogance that he had not even noticed originally.
When there are newcomers who gradually surpass Modu in terms of qualifications, strength, reputation, etc.
Modu's arrogance will become a hidden danger.
In many parallel universes, Mordo developed a demonic barrier due to his arrogance and stubbornness, which led to his fall into the ranks of villains.
The Ancient One magician doesn't care whether Mordo falls or not, and he respects the fate of others.
But in Roy's opinion, this is simply a huge waste.
Although Roy comes from the mafia, he says he hates waste the most.
A senior brother who has all the qualifications, strength, reputation and sense of responsibility, and who has been diligently and tirelessly training magic apprentices for many years.
What a good cow and horse.
Roy said that after his own magician tower is built, he is willing to make Mordo the chief dean of the magic academy.
Definitely, the premise of all this is to be able to suppress Mordo.
When facing such a stubborn person who likes to dwell on trivial matters, it is not enough to just reason with him. You have to make him calm down and listen to your reasoning honestly.
Roy didn't know how much the Ancient One magician across from him had guessed about his thoughts.
But since the Ancient One magician was able to use previous events to poke fun at himself in the form of a cold joke, I don't think he would object.
"Ancient One Venerable........."
"You'd rather call Mo Du 'Senior Brother' than call me 'Teacher'?"
Roy put down his teacup and pondered for a while, then was teased by the Ancient One magician again.
Although this made Roy feel a little unhappy, he was completely relieved. At least the other party did not object.
Think of this.
Roy stopped testing her and spoke frankly, "Teacher Ancient One, you know, I was an orphan and grew up in a mafia family. I've been walking on thin ice all the way."
"Do you think I can be Kamar-Taj's successor and become the next Sorcerer Supreme?"
The Ancient One said that he did not use the Time Gem to peek into his future.
Roy believed this.
But Roy also knew very well that at the level of the Ancient One, he could see every corner of the material world through time magic without the Time Gem.
Maybe the Time Gem is not as accurate as the Ancient One magician's time magic.
To use the Time Gem, one must choose the most likely future from infinite timelines.
However, when one reaches the level of a 9th-ring True Spirit Great Magician, a great prophecy can accurately capture everything one wants to know.
As expected.
After hearing Roy's words, the Ancient One magician paused for a moment while holding the teacup in his hand.
But soon.
The Ancient One magician acted very naturally and asked: (ajbh) "Can you guarantee your original intention?"
"Knowledge, originally, is the greatest temptation in the world. When you hit a bottleneck and can't break through, the temptation of Mephista, the temptation of devouring, the temptation of destruction and restart, etc., knowledge will become your greatest accomplice."
The Ancient One's worries were not without reason.
Throughout history, there have been too many outstanding people and geniuses who have forgotten their original intentions and become a disaster.
The most typical example is Morgana, the world-destroying witch.
Just as the Ancient One said.
Original knowledge is the greatest temptation. In order to make progress, the more talented one is, the more likely one is to perform operations that are beyond people's imagination.
There is no doubt that the Ancient One must have seen some of his own future, otherwise he would not have such worries.
Likewise, Roy was certain that the Ancient One didn't know his trump card.
In other words, Ancient One may be able to observe some fragments of its own future, but it cannot truly observe everything about itself.
This also made Roy completely relax.
At least, the Philosopher's Stone and the Philosopher's System are still somewhat useful.
At the same time, this gave Roy some confidence, and he said confidently: "Teacher, I can swear that in terms of maintaining my original intention, no one here is more trustworthy than me.
Even Ancient One was a little surprised by this move, as if he didn't understand where Roy's confidence came from.
Roy smiled shyly and said, "Teacher, the foundation of my practice is called the Truth Will Meditation Method.
What is the will to truth? It is the balance between knowledge and original intention.
To put it bluntly, Roy was born with a psychic immunity spell of more than 9 levels.
Forget about the temptation of Mephista or anything like that.
Even if it were an eternity, it would not be able to erode Roy's will.
After hearing Roy's meditation method.
The Ancient One immediately laughed, and said with relief and approval, "I will declare you my new disciple, and all the knowledge of Kamar-Taj will be open to you.
Roy secretly praised in his heart, suppressed his ecstasy, and said: "Teacher, about me and Brother Modu..."
The Ancient One smiled more relaxedly and said, "If you have the ability, I look forward to seeing you help Mordo and the others change their original fate.
It is obvious that Ancient One is not without feelings for his disciples.
This actually made Roy a little confused, and he asked, "Teacher, speaking of abilities, why don't you correct Brother Mordo's flaws yourself?"
The Ancient One sighed softly and said, "The greed of Dimension Mephista is the same."
"In Kamar-Taj, Mordu and his companions found it difficult to find the true meaning of magic."
"For them, retaining some of their own shortcomings is sometimes not a bad thing..."
