Chapter 70 The Sanctuary of the Past
"Do you know the Ancient One? I'm her disciple!"
Qin Wuying shouted as he pulled hard on the knife held to his neck.
Given the Ancient One's lifespan, the Supreme Being should have known her by now.
As long as you explain that you are one of our own, the misunderstanding will be cleared up.
Instead of relaxing after hearing this, Nina pressed on even harder.
"You're lying! I've never even seen you!"
Indeed, Qin Wuying is not from this era.
"Then, what about the Eye of Agamotto? Didn't the Time Stone foresee my arrival?"
After thinking for two seconds, Qin Wuying suddenly realized this.
As the Supreme Being, protecting the artifact Eye of Agamotto is an inescapable duty.
The Ancient One often uses the Time Stone to predict possible future events.
Doesn't Nina have this habit?
"I don't carry that thing with me all the time, ah, I understand."
Nina's face showed an expression that said she knew exactly what Qin Wuying was thinking.
"What do you know?"
"Your goal is to seize the Eye of Agamotto, isn't it?"
"..."
Qin Wuying didn't understand why things were getting worse the more she explained.
However, seeing his anxious look, Nina burst into laughter.
Then, the young cowboy Supreme Venerable freed Qin Wuying from the magic array.
"Just kidding. You have the energy of Kamar-Taj on you, I can recognize it."
After saying that, Nina casually snapped her fingers.
Qin Wuying's casual suit instantly transformed into a Kamar-Taj robe.
Isn't that a bit unfair?
You can wear such casual clothes, but I can't?
"Come, child, I will take you to the sanctuary."
Nina winked at Qin Wuying.
Qin Wuying thought to herself, "We look about the same age, so why do I look like a child?"
But perhaps it's just that they look young.
After all, the Ancient One also extended her lifespan through dark energy and other secret techniques.
Sigh, you can't ask a woman's age casually; it's always a secret.
"Could you give me the coordinates of the sanctuary?"
After walking a few steps out of the alley, Qin Wuying suddenly slapped his forehead. Why did he have to walk?
After receiving the energy coordinates from Nina, he had her take his arm.
I closed my eyes, then opened them again.
The two then arrived at the entrance of the New York Sanctuary.
The sanctuary was located on a very quiet street, with not a single pedestrian in sight.
Qin Wuying guessed that some kind of magic had been used.
Passersby would wander around in this area, but they would never be able to enter this place.
"Buzz..." The sanctuary doors opened automatically.
A monk was sweeping inside, and there were no guards at the door.
"Your Excellency, you have returned."
When the mage saw Nina, he straightened up and bowed, then continued with his work.
Qin Wuying remembered that the king had talked to him about labor before.
Although the mage has various methods to avoid physical labor as much as possible—
But in Kamar-Taj, everyone must participate in labor.
He passed by the monk who was cleaning, and the monk glanced at him but said nothing.
Along the way, Qin Wuying passed by many dazzling magical artifacts.
This included a deep red floating cloak.
Are you interested in that? I'm sorry I can't give it to you.
"Of course I know, it will choose its own owner, right?"
"And the qualified person will appear soon."
Nina patted the glass case containing the levitation cloak.
The cloak then extended a corner in a friendly gesture, tapping the glass from the inside in response.
Frankly speaking, such a self-aware artifact is rare.
Qin Wuying greatly admired Strange.
So far, I haven't found a magical artifact that resonates with my heart.
After taking a quick look around, Nina invited Qin Wuying to sit at the table.
After a brief conversation, she explained everything that had happened to Qin Wuying.
The matter originated from the sudden hibernation of the Ancient One, the Supreme Being.
She was urgently recalled from her adventure to Kamar-Taj and given the temporary title of Sorcerer Supreme.
After taking over the oversight of the Eye of Agamotto, she discovered a terrifying truth—
This is a divine artifact that has existed since the very beginning of magic, a supreme divine artifact.
It showed signs of being corroded by something.
Over time, the degree of corrosion will increase in an extremely slow manner.
She was unable to determine the nature and source of the corrosion.
In addition, more and more dark mages began to appear openly.
In the past, they usually only dared to carry out some secret activities.
"Are there people like Casillas at this point in time?"
"Maybe so, I haven't figured it out yet."
Nina picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
Qin Wuying didn't even notice when a tea set had appeared on the table.
"Even your arrival was only recently noticed."
Nina's eyes became somewhat melancholy, and she would occasionally glance at the dark clouds outside the window.
She was originally a free-spirited warrior, but now she is trapped here.
"Your Excellency, something terrible has happened! A group of dark mages are attacking the Sanctuary!"
Just then, two mages hurried upstairs to report to Nina.
Outside the sanctuary, the sounds of flames burning and explosions could already be heard.
"So arrogant? Venerable One, please wait here for a moment, I will handle this."
After saying that, Qin Wuying teleported to the entrance of the sanctuary.
The dark mages, who were continuously launching explosive balls, were startled and stopped their attacks.
"A reckless newcomer has arrived!"
The dark mages lined up in two rows on either side, and a woman with red runes tattooed on her face stepped out from among them.
She walked with elegant steps, looking Qin Wuying up and down.
"Are you planning to show off your body? If you want to fight, then hurry up and do it."
Qin Wuying didn't bother to take a look.
Isn't it just revealing clothes, long legs, and a barely visible chest?
What's so interesting about it?
The female mage seemed somewhat enraged; she raised her hands high, and crimson energy gathered in her palms.
Qin Wuying glanced back at the shattered gate of the sanctuary.
It seems these guys are a bit more destructive than I thought.
And the female mage is their current leader.
"How dare you ignore me? I'm the center of the world!"
The female mage roared angrily and launched two energy balls burning with magical fire.
"Excessive self-consciousness."
Qin Wuying muttered something to himself and opened a portal in front of him using only his consciousness.
The orb passed through the portal and sped towards the female mage's back.
"Hmm? He doesn't need a suspension ring?"
The female mage was clearly taken aback by this unconventional approach and was somewhat puzzled.
As they spoke, two mages dressed in black robes rushed behind the female mage and shielded her from the attack.
The two scapegoats immediately fell to the ground, silent.
The female mage didn't even turn around to look at them.
"I suggest you watch your back, okay?"
Qin Wuying smiled crookedly.
