Kaecilius first asked whether Mordo had any objections to Zhang Yang becoming the Sorcerer Supreme.
Then he said that The Ancient One had used Dark Magic??
Why did that sound so much like he was trying to drive a wedge between them?
Kaecilius, you really have some ulterior motives there!
Mordo muttered to himself as he scrutinized Kaecilius.
His gaze was meaningful, clearly saying, You're up to no good.
It made Kaecilius feel a little panicked under Mordo's stare.
Shaking his head, Kaecilius said, "Not really. I was just... asking..."
Perhaps because Mordo's gaze had flustered him, Kaecilius casually made up an excuse.
Of course, the excuse did sound rather ridiculous.
"Kaecilius, you shouldn't have so many thoughts," Mordo said seriously, meeting Kaecilius's eyes.
"Yes." Kaecilius nodded, his attitude quite devout.
Kaecilius had indeed intended to stir up Mordo's hatred for Kamar-Taj by saying those things.
After all, Kaecilius now worshipped Dormammu.
And Dormammu's demand of him was to continually win over Kamar-Taj's mages and make them worship Dormammu.
To win over Kamar-Taj's mages, he had to incite their hatred toward Kamar-Taj.
Naturally, to make things easier for Kaecilius,
Dormammu had also told him a piece of genuinely useful information.
The Ancient One had actually used Dark Magic to prolong her life.
This news had once shocked Kaecilius greatly.
He believed that if the other mages learned of it, it would surely provoke unanimous resistance among them.
Sure enough.
This secret had allowed Kaecilius to successfully recruit some mages into worshipping Dormammu.
Originally, Kaecilius thought Mordo would be the same.
But the problem was,
Mordo not only failed to show much anger, but instead looked completely calm.
It gave Kaecilius a feeling.
Could the senior brother standing before him be a fake?
Though he thought this, Kaecilius could hardly ask
