Chapter 1046: New Times
Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Ancient One smiled.
“Even if Kaecilius doesn’t cause trouble, I still intend to select the new Sorcerer Supreme. I have been in this position for too long, and Earth needs to enter a new era,” Ancient One responded to Lin Rui’s question.
Although the current state of Ancient One was still strong and powerful enough, the changes of time were unstoppable, even with the Time Stone in possession. Seriously speaking, Ancient One and Odin were already figures from the previous glorious era, while the Dark Elf leader, Malekith, was even more ancient than Ancient One and Odin.
Each era had its own splendor and brilliance, and even the most exceptional individuals could only lead the trends in their respective eras. Once their era had passed, the mysterious forces of destiny and power would weaken and eventually disappear.
Ancient One and Odin had reached a level where they could sense this change, prompting them to jointly make efforts to train the next generation.
Because they knew that their era had already come to an end. Next, it was time for the younger generation to dominate the world. Of course, the young generation was still somewhat immature at the moment, but they would provide assistance within their capabilities.
“A new era?” Lin Rui’s eyes flickered upon hearing Ancient One’s response.
Although Lin Rui didn’t know what Ancient One meant by Earth entering a new era, he was well aware that the superheroes on Earth and the technology that far surpassed the previous average level had emerged in recent years.
If the Earth a few decades ago was a chaotic era, then after decades of silence, the current Earth had indeed entered an era of superheroes and technological leaps.
“Alright, we have discussed everything that needs to be discussed. Will you stay here for a while or go back? The Himalayas have been quite lively recently due to the selection of the new Sorcerer Supreme,” Without further explanation, Ancient One continued.
“I’ll stay for a while. After all, I came here to help. Since you have already anticipated the situation, I assume the three Sanctums have made preparations, so I don’t need to worry,” Lin Rui answered after pondering for a moment.
“Very well, you can go out on your own. I will have someone arrange a place for you to stay. The sorcerers are ordinary Earthlings, and we are all very friendly,” Ancient One nodded, having made the arrangements.
“Thank you, then I’ll go out first,” Lin Rui expressed his gratitude and stood up from the blanket.
Then, Lin Rui walked out of the meditation place of Ancient One. Outside, Yunlan Sorcerer was not present, but another male sorcerer was waiting.
“Hello, I’m Mordo. I’ll walk you to the place where you’ll be staying,” The male sorcerer smiled and introduced himself as Lin Rui walked out.
“Okay, thank you,” Lin Rui’s eyes flashed a glimmer deep inside upon hearing the introduction of this male sorcerer, but his expression remained unchanged.
Afterward, Lin Rui embarked on his journey within the Earth sorcerer faction in the Himalayas, following Mordo.
Phew~
After Lin Rui left with Mordo, Ancient One, who remained sitting on the blanket, blinked with a golden glow in his hand, sending out a few messages instantly.
“I never expected that after seeing so many possible outcomes of the future and already accepting reality, my mindset would change because of a few words from such a young individual. Perhaps there is truly a turning point. I should hold on for a little longer…”
…
“Sorcerer Mordo.”
“Yes?”
Following Mordo, Lin Rui toured the various courtyards belonging to the sorcerers. Sorcerers they passed by would greet Mordo, indicating his relatively high status within the Earth sorcerers.
Speaking of which, apart from Kaecilius, Mordo was already the most talented disciple under the tutelage of the Ancient One. Of course, Yun Lan, the sorceress, also possessed considerable talent, but when it came to combat, female sorcerers fell slightly short compared to their male counterparts.
During this tour, apart from witnessing the mystery of the secluded sorcerer sanctuary hidden atop the snowy mountains, Lin Rui also encountered numerous sorcerers practicing various magical arts.
Unlike in the outside world, where sorcerers couldn’t freely use magic, here sorcerers could constantly practice and refine their magical abilities. After all, it was time for selecting the new Sorcerer Supreme, and everyone was striving to enhance their powers.
Inhale~
Buzzing!
When Mordo led Lin Rui to a square situated at the edge of the snowy mountains, Lin Rui witnessed a truly awe-inspiring sight. Before his eyes, nearly a hundred sorcerers were practicing their magic on the square atop the mountain.
Some were practicing the combinations and transformations of different spells individually, while others engaged in paired sparring.
Among them, a few pairs of sorcerers were engaged in intense battles, and various dazzling spells occasionally erupted on the square. Compared to the battles between modern soldiers armed with high-tech weaponry, the fights between sorcerers were far more unpredictable and inscrutable.
“Sorcerer Mordo, this is quite amazing!” After standing by the square for a while, Lin Rui couldn’t help but exclaim.
Although Lin Rui had already interacted with sorcerers like Rick and David in the New York Sanctum and had received their assistance on several occasions, those encounters were relatively minor, and they hadn’t displayed their full powers.
Moreover, compared to the magical displays of hundreds of sorcerers before him now, the individual spells he had witnessed before seemed insignificant.
“Hehe, usually there aren’t so many people here. It just happens that we have more talent due to the ongoing selection of the new Sorcerer Supreme.” Mordo smiled in response to Lin Rui’s remark.
“Coincidentally, I have a friend participating in the selection. I wonder if he’s here as well.” Lin Rui continued to scan the square ahead, searching for Jack’s figure.
According to what Rick had mentioned, Jack had passed the first round of the selection process and should be studying here now. Perhaps Jack’s abilities were relatively good among this group of people. After all, Daniel had spoken with a hint of pride at the time.
“Oh, really? Do you know your friend’s name?” Mordo was slightly surprised by Lin Rui’s response.
“Jack, his name is Jack Franklin Stane. Ah~ I found him!” As Lin Rui answered, he suddenly shouted with excitement as he spotted Jack.
