The space door opened by Ancient One leads to the treasure house of Kama Taj.

As usual, mystics who complete the novice tutorial can obtain a magic weapon that suits them best from the treasure house.

Of course, receiving a magical weapon awarded by Kamal Taj does not mean that this magical weapon will belong to Lu Xiao from now on.

The ownership rights of the magic weapon still belong to Kama Taj, and Lu Xiao only has the temporary right to use it.

When Gu Yi sent Lu Xiao into the treasure house, he said something very mysterious: "Remember, you are not the only one who chooses the magic weapon, the magic weapon also chooses you."

"When the magic weapon that suits you best appears, your soul will give you a hint."

Gu Yi did not follow Lu Xiao, but stood leisurely at the entrance of the treasure house, fanning the folding fan and closing his eyes to relax.

The dazzling array of magic weapons made Lu Xiao have trouble choosing. He simply followed Gu Yi's guidance and wandered around Nuo Da's treasure house at will, waiting for the magic weapon that suited him to appear.

"Um?"

When he reached a corner, Lu Xiao's spirit suddenly became excited. He looked in the direction of the induction, and what appeared in front of him was a pair of ordinary-looking brown leather boots.

When he stretched out his right hand and touched the leather boots, the warm feeling coming from the depths of his soul convinced Lu Xiao that it was the most suitable magical weapon for him at the moment.

When Lu Xiao appeared in front of Ancient Yi holding leather boots, an unexpected light flashed in the Supreme Mage's eyes.

"The Boots of Hermes, I didn't expect it to choose you, interesting."

Lu Xiao's eyebrows twitched when she heard the name of these boots. "It's Hermes again. Am I so destined to him?"

The Hermes of the two worlds are actually completely unrelated.

Hermes in the world of Assassin's Creed is a licking dog who hangs around Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld.

Hermes in the Marvel universe has never been mentioned, and even the pair of leather boots bearing his name may not actually be something used by Hermes.

Gu Yi ignored Lu Xiao's weird expression, tapped his palm with a folding fan and said, "It's up to you to slowly study the ability of this magic weapon. All I can say is... it's very strong."

…

When Lu Xiao came to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was in May 2013. He originally planned to stay at Karma Taj until the end of this year to continue his studies.

According to the rules of Karma Taj, if you want to obtain the Eye of Agamotto, you must first inherit the position of the Supreme Mage, or at least be recognized as the next successor by the contemporary Supreme Mage... This is usually the case.

Lu Xiao's first world mission goal is close in front of him but out of reach. He just hopes to stay in Kama Taj to gain favor with Ancient One, show her his potential, and obtain the Eye of Agamotto in an orthodox way.

inheritance.

But this process is destined to be very long and difficult. Fortunately, Lu Xiao holds the Staff of Hermes, and lifespan is no longer an issue for him.

Lu Xiao wanted to stay in Kama Taj and continue to gain favor with him, but as a new mystic who had initially learned a lot, Ancient One gave him three testing tasks in succession after Lu Xiao obtained the Boots of Hermes.

The three missions are all related to Dormammu, and two of them involve participating in the defense of the New York and London temples, and repelling the shadow demon attack sent by Dormammu head-on.

The last one is relatively troublesome.

During the last defensive battle of the London Temple, a shadow demon with abnormal behavior gave up attacking the temple and quietly hid in downtown London while its companions attracted the attention of the occultists.

Lu Xiao had not yet been officially assigned to any of the three temples. As a mobile force at the Kama Taj headquarters, Gu Yi asked him, who had not yet left London, to find this strange shadow demon and destroy it.

London is the capital of the United Kingdom and one of the most important financial centers in the world.

Agamotto built the temple here. I wonder if he used the time stone to see the future development prospects of this city in advance.

The urban area of ​​London is very large, with a total population of nearly 10 million. You can imagine how difficult it is to find a shadow demon hiding in this modern steel jungle.

Blindly searching without a clue is just a waste of time. Lu Xiao can only temporarily live in the London Temple, go out to search the area near the Temple every day, and read newspapers to check whether there are any abnormal phenomena occurring in various districts of London.

From the perspective of ordinary people, London is as prosperous and busy as ever. The fast-paced life makes people in this city unable to stop. Only at night do they go to bars and other nightclubs to relax.

During the few months of practicing in Kama Taj, Lu Xiao gradually got used to this isolated holy place, and her restlessness in eagerness to complete the task gradually calmed down under the influence of Kama Taj's peaceful atmosphere.

At night, Lu Xiao sat alone on the top of the London Temple, watching the city's feasting and feasting from a bird's-eye view, and listened to the noisy and angry sounds coming from the nearby football stadium.

"Lu." A middle-aged mystic with a gloomy expression opened the portal and came to the roof: "Did you find anything?"

Lu Xiao broke away from the aloof state and turned to look at the other party: "Not yet. The shadow demon was very cautious. It hid in the city and never moved again."

The person who appeared in front of Lu Xiao was Casillas. He was appointed by Ancient One not long ago as the leader of the occultists in the London Temple. It is also his responsibility to guard local security.

Casillas sat next to Lu Xiao and looked with him at the London city that was still brightly lit at night.

"What does that shadow demon want to do? Did Dormammu give him a special mission?"

Lu Xiao shrugged: "I don't know, and we don't need to understand the thoughts of Shadow Demon and Dormammu. Exploring darkness is inherently a dangerous behavior."

"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you."

Lu Xiao's meaningful words made Casillas's eyes flicker. He was silent for a few seconds before asking again: "Lu, do you have a family?"

"Of course there are, but they are not in this world."

Lu Xiao's truth obviously misunderstood Casillasi. He sighed sympathetically and said: "Me too, I have been unable to forget my wife and children all these years."

"It's a pity that no matter how many secret techniques I learn, I still can't satisfy my desire to meet them again."

Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed: "Casillas, your idea is very dangerous."

"The dead are gone. Those who survive should carry their expectations and move forward. Don't let the dead become chains that bind your feet, even if they are your family members."

Lu Xiao had heard Gu Yi and Wang mention that Casillas had been studying spells related to psychics, and the purpose was obviously self-evident.

However, his wife and children had been dead for more than 10 years, and even the Ancient One could not recall their souls, not to mention that this kind of spell involving the souls of the deceased was itself a taboo among taboos.

Recently, the frequency of master-disciple quarrels between Casillas and the Ancient One has become more and more frequent. In order to calm Casillas down, the Ancient One appointed him as the Guardian Mage of the London Temple.

Lu Xiao's words obviously did not enter Casillas's heart. He just nodded perfunctorily: "Don't worry, I will study within the scope allowed by the rules of Karma Taj. This is the only belief I have left in my life."

.”

Watching Casillas leave, Lu Xiao silently sighed, "Poor people must be hateful, and vice versa. Casillas, I hope you can stick to the last bottom line. I believe Gu Yi will never

I hope to see the scene where fellow students kill each other.'

…

Early the next morning, Lu Xiao finally got some uncertain information while walking down the street.

Near the dock area in east London, someone saw a humanoid creature running on all fours. It escaped from the sight of the crowd and entered an abandoned warehouse.

After submitting the relevant report to Casillas, Lu Xiao put on his hood and turned on the breath blocking, and used the basic acceleration ability of the Hermes Boots to jump quickly on the rooftops of London.

The most basic ability of the Boots of Hermes is to increase the user's running speed and jumping power. This effect is very simple and seems to have nothing special compared to the Boots of Jump.

However, the Boots of Hermes can accelerate indefinitely within the range that the user's body can bear, and Lu Xiao's physical fitness cannot determine its maximum limit.

When the Boots of Hermes are fully activated, Lu Xiao's speed will reach a very terrifying level, which is like a fleeting light in the eyes of people with insufficient dynamic vision.

When Lu Xiao arrived at the warehouse where the target was suspected to be hiding, he frowned at a strange sense of disobedience.
