Wang knocked on the door and walked in after hearing her voice. "Wang, what do you want from me?" Wang hesitated briefly, "Are you sure he is trustworthy?"
"I thought we had already talked about this."
"I just think he comes from a different dimension and has no motive to protect our dimension."
The Ancient One once had such concerns. However, in the future he saw with Ian, he never left for his own dimension, which made the Ancient One suspect that something might have happened to his dimension; this also explained why he crashed in this place.
"What makes you say that suddenly?" she asked.
"I spent the past few hours studying those tasks, and considering that some of them seemed ridiculously difficult, no, simply impossible, I even wondered if he was trying to take the opportunity to kill us."
"Have you tried taking one of the missions?" The Ancient One asked.
"No."
"Try the highest difficulty."
Wang was confused, but did as he did. He focused his attention on his Gate of Truth, and a holographic screen materialized in front of him. He found an SSS-level mission: sneak into Hell Dimension, steal or destroy [Soul Pool]. [Mission selected. Testing mage ability.] Wang was startled by the cold voice and looked around to find the source of the sound.
[Survival rate: 0%. This task is beyond your capabilities. You have been refused to accept this task.] Wang looked at the screen in shock.
The Ancient One suggested: "Try a lower difficulty," and Wang did so. The robotic voice gave the same reply until he selected a C-level mission.
[Survival rate: 70%. The mage meets the conditions, but it is recommended to continue training to improve the survival rate. Do you still want to accept this mission? Yes/No.]
"No," Wang replied instinctively.
[Choose wisely. Discretion is the secret to longevity.]
"As you can see, not everyone can perform these missions," The Ancient One said. "The mission system is designed to ensure the highest survival rate for you. Although this percentage is not 100% accurate due to too many variables, it is the best we can do."
"I see. I didn't expect it to be so tight."
"One of the reasons why I chose him is precisely because of his meticulous thinking brought about by his almost crazy paranoia," The Ancient One said.
"I understand," Wang nodded.
"Ian should stay with Kamar-Taj for the next month. You should seize this opportunity. Ask him as many questions as you can and he will answer them for you. When it comes to teaching, there is no better mentor than him."
After Kaecilius leaves, Ian still has some work to do. First, he must prepare for the assembly of Avengers. He needs to contact these people, and the best way is not in his Sorcerer Supreme capacity, but in a more recognized position of power.
Therefore, he will send out a clone and give it a false identity that even S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot detect. This clone has only one mission: to become a member of World Security Council.
Facing the future, Kamar-Taj, Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. alone are not enough. Therefore, he needs the assistance of the global military. He will provide them with technology and magic technology to fight against specific forces. However, the premise is that he must have the necessary and recognized status and power.
After dispatching the clones, Ian devoted the next few months to training these mages. He taught them how to train and use their [Battle Aura], Gate of Truth, and many basic magic applications.
Wang was inseparable from Ian in the next month. He would ask him for advice every day whenever he had questions, and Ian always patiently explained everything. Seeing that he was so approachable, other mages followed suit, so Ian began to hold open classes or lectures for everyone.
In this month, in addition to teaching, Ian also planned four new Sanctums, located at Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Lagos (Nigeria), Sydney (Australia) and Antarctica. Together with the previous four (note: London, New York and Hong Kong, the original text is four), Ian covers all seven continents. The physical building of Sanctums has been built, but Ian must upgrade the earth dimension protection shield. The thing about Luck is that with the Ancient One by his side, he gave her the task of supervising the upgrade.
After a month was over, the mages began to perform their tasks. The king came to visit Ian before leaving because a certain friendship had been established between them.
"Are you leaving?" Ian asked.
"Yes," Wang nodded.
"Are you sure you don't want to work at the Library?" he asked with a smile. Wang once told him that his goal was to work at the Library, read books, and live a peaceful life.
"And miss all the exciting action?" Wang shook his head.
"What mission did you take?"
"Zalon's Lamp."
Ian nodded. This mission is to go to an alternate dimension and retrieve a magic lamp that seals a powerful genie. Why does Ian want this lamp? Because in the future, he saw a mage in that dimension obtain the lamp and absorb its power, becoming a powerful reality warper.
Then, that mage came to Earth, causing chaos and killing many people. Ian created this mission to prevent the birth of that mage, thereby reducing the risk to his timeline.
"This is the easiest of the B-level tasks. I have an 85% survival rate."
"Do you need me to give you some secret help? Considering our friendship, I don't mind doing this."
"No, that's not fair." Wang refused without hesitation.
"Since you said so," Ian nodded. "Be careful."
"I will."
Ian watched the king leave calmly, and then whispered, "Send a Golem to protect him secretly."
"It has been arranged," Morgana replied.
"How is Mordo doing now?"
"He is following your advice and dealing with his mental health issues."
"Very good. Now, let's win over some allies," Ian murmured to himself, and then opened a portal in Wakanda: it was not the Wakanda seen by the outside world, but appeared directly in front of their country's invisible force field. Ian touched the force field, waited for a few seconds and said:
"Black Panther, Guardians of Wakanda, I am Sorcerer Supreme. I believe your intelligence network has alerted you to our presence."
A few seconds later, T'Challa's father T'Chaka walked out of the force field wearing Black Panther Suit, followed by Dora Mira ji Royal Guard.
"Are you the new Sorcerer Supreme?" he asked.
"That's right."
"How do you know we exist?"
"Since you know us, why can't we know you?" Ian asked. T'Chaka was very dissatisfied with this explanation, but did not dwell on this issue. "What is the purpose of contacting us?"
"I'm here to seek alliances."
"Wakanda does not interfere in the affairs of the outside world," T'Chaka immediately declared.
"You don't need to interfere. I'm here just to exchange resources."
"As expected, you are here for our Vibranium," Dora Mira ji's commander said, her words making the meeting tense. "Wakanda does not trade Vibranium."
Ian is indeed interested in Vibranium because it is an excellent magic transmission material in the comics, but he is not sure whether the same is true for Vibranium in the MCU. In any case, Vibranium is not the main purpose of his trip. He waved his hand and conjured a box out of thin air.
"This is my gift to the Kingdom of Wakanda. After analyzing it, you will realize the value of trading Vibranium with me," Ian declared. "Once our alliance becomes stronger, we can exchange more things, such as the whereabouts of Ulysses Klaue."
"Do you know where the thief and murderer is?" King T'Chaka asked.
"Who knows?" Ian shrugged. "Anyway, please consider my proposal." He opened a portal behind him and left. T'Chaka The king looked at the box left behind and ordered his men to take it with them.
"Your Majesty, we should be more careful."
"Do you think he mentioned Klaue to make me relax my guard about the box?"
The commander paused and said, "It's very possible."
"Then, you should know what to do."
