Marvel: Sealed by Odin at the start!

Coulson took a can of iced coffee from the refrigerator, returned to his seat, and began disassembling all other communication and recording devices on his body except for the one he used to talk to Nick Fury, and clearing the recorded content.

"Do you know the language of this great Eastern country? If not, there might be a lot of trouble and confusion later on."

Luo Xing smiled and asked.

"Yes, the language with the largest number of speakers in the world is a required course for secret agents."

Coulson nodded and answered Luo Xing in Chinese.

"That's fine then." Luo Xing nodded.

"And if all else fails, I also have simultaneous interpretation headsets here, which can recognize dialects and unique words from multiple regions of this great Eastern country."

Coulson bent down, opened a suitcase, took out several sets of devices, and looked at Wanda and Pietro: "You two little ones, do you want them?"

Coulson could tell that Luo Xing seemed to treat the two children, who hadn't spent much time together, quite well.

While he was waiting for the Quinjet transport plane, he asked headquarters to check the information on the two children.

Because of the war, their parents left not long ago, leaving the two children isolated and helpless.

Although Coulson was a special agent, he was not ruthless and could understand Luo Xing's actions.

"Thank you, uncle."

Wanda took the headphones and politely thanked her.

"Thank you, bald uncle! I was just about to learn a couple of Chinese phrases in advance!"

Pietro stepped forward, took the headphones, immediately put them on his head, then turned on the computer and started searching for Chinese-language movies, looking very excited.

A bald middle-aged man? Coulson's smile froze, and he subconsciously touched his head: "I just have a receding hairline, I'm not bald..."

A Quinjet fighter jet slowly lands on an open platform in the Himalayas.

Kamar-Taj was originally just a remote little village.

But when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Since the Ancient One succeeded to the position of Sorcerer Supreme hundreds of years ago, Kamar-Taj has become the center of attention, overshadowing even the three sacred sites in Newport, left by Agamotto in ancient times.

In addition, Kamar-Taj is also a popular tourist destination in the secular world, and its economy is doing well.

It could even be argued that if Kamar-Taj hadn't been for its unusual geographical location, it might have become a world economic center like New York, London, and Hong Kong.

"Agent Coulson, do you believe in magic?"

After getting off the plane, Luo Xing asked this question.

“Uh, sir, this is not the Middle Ages, this is an era that believes in science.”

Coulson was taken aback by the question. After answering instinctively, he suddenly realized something and asked cautiously, "Sir, you don't mean to say that you came here looking for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"

"almost."

Luo Xing nodded calmly, "But it's much better than Hogwarts."

Calling Kamar-Taj a magic academy wouldn't be entirely wrong.

Unlike the magic schools in the Harry Potter world, Kamar-Taj does not emphasize bloodlines, but rather destiny.

Furthermore, the Kamar-Taj legends' magic is not simply a matter of inheritance, but rather a means to protect the Earth from invasion by other dimensions.

"This……"

Coulson glanced at Wanda and Pietro, who didn't seem surprised at all, and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm not a child. I still can't accept things like magic."

Luo Xing laughed. Coulson thought Wanda and Pietro believed in magic because they were young, but in reality, it was because they had experienced it firsthand.

"Do you think magic and science are in conflict?" Luo Xing asked.

"Don't they conflict?"

Coulson was taken aback and asked in return.

"Isn't the essence of science to explain the logic and laws governing the operation of all things?"

"In the local parlance, that is the 'Tao'."

"If magic also follows the fixed logic and laws of the universe, then what is the difference between it and what you consider 'science'?"

As Luo Xing finished speaking, Coulson fell into deep thought.

It seems... that makes sense.

If magic also follows logic and rules, and can be verified, then magic itself conforms to the scientific definition.

"The reason you think magic doesn't exist is simply because you don't know what the rules of magic are. Perhaps you can broaden your horizons here."

Luo Xing, who was leading the way, stopped in front of a very ordinary wooden door.

dong dong dong.

Just as Luo Xing finished knocking on the door three times, a shimmering, smooth halo of light appeared out of thin air and rushed towards the four of them.

Knowing what it was, Luo Xing didn't dodge, while Coulson was startled and by the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.

Swah——

The portal swept past the four people, and Luo Xing and his group appeared in a quiet and bright room.

"You're back."

A voice came from behind them.

"Who?!"

Coulson, who had already gripped the pistol at his waist, heard the sound, quickly drew it, and turned to aim it at the source of the sound.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Actions of the Ancient One

With two simple grappling moves, the Ancient One snatched the gun from Coulson's hand and, to Coulson's astonished gaze, placed it in a metal box to the side.

"Firearms are prohibited in Kamar-Taj. We ask our guests to comply."

After disposing of the pistol, Gu Yi returned...

With two simple grappling moves, the Ancient One snatched the gun from Coulson's hand and, to Coulson's astonished gaze, placed it in a metal box to the side.

"Firearms are prohibited in Kamar-Taj. We ask our guests to comply."

After dealing with the pistol, Gu Yi turned to Coulson and said.

"Let me introduce you to the Ancient One, the guardian of Earth's dimensions, and the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj."

Luo Xing smiled when he saw Gu Yi appear and introduced him to the other three.

"Mage?"

Coulson, Pietro, and Wanda all looked slightly conflicted.

This mage... he's not quite what they imagined.

Especially Coulson, as a secret agent, combat skills are a must-learn course, but what happened?

He was disarmed and had his weapon taken away by the Ancient One in just two moves.

Is this a monk?

Or are real-life mages like Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, who like to put all their skill points into melee combat?

"Thank you for releasing my friend, little witch."

After everyone sat down, Gu Yi poured a cup of tea, pushed it in front of Little Wanda, and smiled slightly: "This is Kamar-Taj Tranquil Tea, which can help sorcerers concentrate their will and restore their tired spirit."

"Thank you."

Wanda took the teacup with both hands and whispered, "My name is Wanda. I'm not a little witch or a sorcerer."

"To be honest, I admire you."

Luo Xing suddenly spoke to Gu Yi.

"I just did what I was supposed to do."

Gu Yi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and replied.

"Do not."

Luo Xing shook his head: "I mean, after reading all the future plots, you were still able to refrain from giving away spoilers, which is truly admirable."

Gu Yi: "..."

"You should have already realized that you don't care about that matter?"

Gu Yi asked, slightly surprised.

She was referring to her drawing energy from the Dark Dimension in order to continuously fight against dimensional invasion.

Gu Yi knew that Luo Xing possessed a special sense, making her extremely sensitive to the power of demons and gods, and that she must have noticed the problem with her as soon as they met.

"Power itself is neither good nor bad, and besides..."

Luo Xing got up and walked to the side, took out the pistol that Coulson had been confiscated from the iron box, and with a flash of magic flame in his hand, the ordinary agent pistol turned into a magic revolver.

Snapped.

Luo Xing smiled and placed the revolver on the table: "I don't think I have the right to criticize you, do I?"

"This power... I had clearly sealed off and isolated the Hell Dimension..."

Gu Yi touched the magic spear and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

A century ago, the Ancient One accomplished a feat that no Sorcerer Supreme had ever achieved: she almost permanently sealed off all the dimensions that coveted Earth within their own.

Unless someone actively lifts those seals, even if the Ancient One dies, the only ones who can pose a threat to Earth's dimension are the few dimensional lords who weren't sealed off back then, such as Dormammu.

"This is my own strength."

"Let's talk about this later when we have time. Does what you said back then still hold true?"

Luo Xing had not forgotten the purpose of his trip and asked.

"It was my fault back then, both as a friend and as the Sorcerer Supreme..."

Gu Yi nodded slightly and looked at Luo Xing: "So, what are your requirements?"
