Chapter 1049: Strict Protection
Lin Rui and Stephen Strange got to know each other through this not-so-friendly encounter in the closely guarded Sanctum. Stephen Strange was curious about this mysterious young man who appeared in the secluded ho of the sorcerers in the Himalayas. However, Lin Rui wasn’t going to simply reveal where he ca from.
From the next day onwards, Lin Rui started practicing with Jack every day. While Jack focused on learning magic and new combat techniques, Lin Rui continued honing his internal energy.
Stephen Strange also joined Lin Rui and Jack, as he needed a partner for magical battles. Although Stephen and Jack could be considered competitors, neither of them really cared about the selection of the Sorcerer Supre.
For Jack, participating in the selection of the Sorcerer Supre of the Earth sorcerer lineage was mainly due to the insistence of David and Rick, as well as to enhance his own magical abilities.
As for Stephen Strange, it was even simpler. He originally ca to find a way to recover his hands and participating in this selection was just an unexpected turn of events.
The outco of this selection had little impact on Jack and Stephen Strange. Jack would return to New York to continue his role as a Guardian in the League of Defenders, while Stephen Strange still wished to return to his normal life.
However, the events that were about to unfold might prevent Jack, Stephen Strange, and the other sorcerers who ca to participate in the selection from achieving their desires.
On the third day of Lin Rui’s arrival at the secluded ho of the sorcerers in the Himalayas, he woke up early. After receiving a phone call, he left the house. After circling the yard for a few minutes, Lin Rui spotted Jack ditating in a small square.
Dadada~
“Jack, give a ride back ho first. I’ve been out for a few days, and I need to check in,” Lin Rui said directly as he approached Jack.
Hoo~
Humming~
Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Jack, who was in ditation, didn’t open his eyes but raised his right hand and waved it in front of him. Then, a magical portal composed of golden light appeared in front of Lin Rui and Jack. This magical portal connected to the interior of the League of Defenders’ base, where it wouldn’t draw attention from others.
“Well, I’m going now. I’ll call you when I’m coming back,” Lin Rui waved his hand towards Jack, who still hadn’t opened his eyes, as he saw the magical portal in front of him.
Hoo~
Afterward, Lin Rui took a step and walked into the magical portal. As soon as Lin Rui entered, the magical portal quickly dissipated. From the mont Lin Rui arrived at the small square to his departure through the magical portal, Jack remained in a seated ditation position without opening his eyes or showing any change in expression.
It was evident that Lin Rui’s current strength had indeed stimulated Jack, and he had to work hard to beco even more powerful.
Having stepped through the magical portal, Lin Rui had returned to the League of Defenders’ base in New York. Speaking of long-distance transportation, the magical portals of the sorcerers seed to be faster and more convenient than the spatial portals created by Lin Rui using the Magic Cube’s spatial energy.
After all, the energy of magic couldn’t be precisely analyzed by technological ans at the mont.
Inside the League of Defenders’ base, there weren’t many people present. Besides the logistics personnel Jerry, who always stayed inside the base, the others were absent.
Ever since the day Lin Rui inford them that a powerful and evil wizard might invade Earth in the near future, everyone in the League of Defenders’ base had been actively preparing. They remained vigilant about the changes in the outside world and worked hard to improve their own abilities.
As for Harry, Tony, and SHIELD, they had bought or rented almost the entire Greenwich, where the New York Sanctum ntioned by Lin Rui was located, in order to monitor that area comprehensively.
As long as there is real magic energy in that area, the power of the League of Defenders, Iron Man, and SHIELD will arrive there in the first place. With the consent of the Ancient One, Lin Rui has revealed more information about the Earth sorcerers to his allies.
So, besides Lin Rui, the others also know what kind of people they need to be prepared for. Of course, whether the preparations they are making now are effective against sorcerer magic or not still needs to be tested in actual combat.
After returning to the League of Defenders’ base, Lin Rui chatted with Jerry about his experiences in the Himalayas and Jack’s situation before heading ho. Lin Rui left a device on Jack that could locate his position. If anything happened in the Himalayas, Jack could open a magical spatial portal and call Lin Rui over.
Just as Lin Rui had left the League of Defenders’ base and returned ho, the Ancient One, who was guiding the young sorcerers selected from the Himalayas, suddenly raised an eyebrow. In the next mont, in a burst of golden light, the Ancient One disappeared from the sorcerer’s square.
Hoo~
When the Ancient One reappeared, he was no longer in the Himalayas but on the rooftop of a bustling city’s central skyscraper.
“Finally, you’ve shown yourself?” Standing on the rooftop of the central building in New York, the Ancient One muttered to himself, gazing at a certain place in New York City.
…
Buzzing~
Just as the Ancient One disappeared from the Himalayas and appeared in the center of New York City, Rick, who was the only one guarding the entire Sanctum while David went to the Himalayas, suddenly awakened from his ditation. Feeling the information transmitted by the Sanctum, Rick furrowed his brows tightly.
“Is it really a betrayer?” Rick murmured with a deep tone, his hand emitting a golden light.
Then, Rick, who had just been in ditation, stood up. At the sa ti, he sent out a ssage. Regardless of whether the situation detected by the Sanctum was the appearance of a betrayer or not, Rick would not take it lightly. To be honest, with the strength of those betrayers, Rick alone wouldn’t be able to defend the Sanctum.
Beep beep!
In the next mont after Rick sent the ssage, the communicators on Jack and the special team from SHIELD, who had been guarding near New York to protect the Sanctum for three days, all received a ssage. Since Lin Rui has clearly expressed his intention to help the Earth sorcerers, Rick wouldn’t refuse it outright.
