Chương 59: Chapter 59: The Relationship Between Vishanti and Kamar Taj
It was already close to noon, and the scorching sunshine filled the entire Vientiane Book Cafe. Compared to the hot temperature outside the store, May had asked the clerk to turn on the air conditioner early to ensure the coolness inside. Perhaps because of the pleasant temperature, some young people had chosen to enter the book cafe to read, rest, and play with their mobile phones. This made May, who was dedicated to revitalizing the book cafe, quite satisfied.
On the first day of business, no matter the reason, a turnover of 0 would only show that she was incompetent as a store manager.
In Study Room 101, Lockhart looked at the empty teapot in front of him. He took out his wand again and pointed it lightly. Soon, a large amount of tea slowly emerged from the teapot, filling it completely.
Kaecilius said in surprise, "Lockhart, no matter how many times I see it, I have to praise it. The magic in your world is indeed very good, and some of it is beyond our understanding."
Hearing the compliment in Kaecilius' tone, Lockhart said modestly with a faint smile, "No, it's just some spell-casting techniques developed based on our own magic blood. It's not very useful, just sophisticated. To be honest, Kamar Taj's magic is more powerful. Most of us wizards can't do this."
At this moment, the three of them had finished talking about the potion business and started discussing magic. They were all practitioners of magic, and although Lockhart's system was different from theirs, they all based their practice on the concept of magic and the control of energy. Naturally, there were many topics to talk about.
"Morin, I would like to ask a question. In our world view, using external force is relatively taboo, but I found that the magicians of Kamar Taj seem to be used to it. Aren't you worried about this?" Lockhart asked.
Kaecilius and Morin looked at each other and laughed. Master Morin introduced directly, "Lockhart, in fact, your concern has been considered by sorcerers before. But most sorcerers rely on the power provided by our patron Vishanti, not the power of those evil gods and demon gods."
"Vishanti is a trinity of gods, or you can understand it as an alliance co-founded by the three ancient gods Agamotto, Oshtur, and Hoggoth. The purpose of Vishanti is to protect the universe and stay away from evil. We belong to the righteous camp. More importantly, Agamotto among them was a past Sorcerer Supreme and the founder of our Kamar Taj. He created our magic system. According to ancient records, the Eye of Agamotto held by the Sorcerer Supreme is the witness of the contract between our Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar Taj and Vishanti. According to the contract, we use the power of Vishanti to practice and improve our magic skills. The price is that when we die, all our power will return to Vishanti. As long as the Eye of Agamotto is not destroyed, the contract will remain unchanged. So we don't have those concerns."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded. He now quite understood the mentality of Master Kamar Taj. The power they relied on belonged to their ancestor, so there was nothing to worry about.
As for the Eye of Agamotto, if he remembered correctly, it was the Time Stone. If someone wanted to destroy it, they would probably have to wait until Thanos collected all six Infinity Stones before having a chance. And after hearing Master Morin's introduction, Lockhart was seriously doubtful. Is the Eye of Agamotto really just as simple as the Time Stone? Otherwise, how could Vishanti easily see the Time Stone being destroyed without taking action? Or, the Time Stone is just a core part of it, and the Eye of Agamotto's real function is to fully utilize the Time Stone's power. Well, Lockhart didn't know if it had other functions, but this alone was enough to prove the power of this magical weapon.
Master Morin's introduction made Lockhart feel more at ease. They didn't have a close relationship before; they were just acquaintances. But now that the relationship was good and there were interests entangled, Lockhart asked directly with confidence, and the answer he got made him very satisfied. It also made him determined to learn Kamar Taj's magic system. But before learning, he had to talk to the Ancient One. Well, it's not that he is stubborn, but because this matter is directly related to his future magical path. It's not his character to be careless.
Later, Lockhart began to communicate with Morin and Kaecilius about Kamar Taj's magic system.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, there were fewer and fewer people at the Vientiane Book Cafe because it was noon, and everyone had gone out to eat. According to regulations, to maintain environmental hygiene inside the book cafe, no one was allowed to eat inside. Lockhart was afraid that the smell of those meals would directly affect the smell of the environment inside the book cafe. After May and the other shop clerks ordered takeout, they all went to the employee room to have lunch.
At this moment, May and several clerks were chatting while eating. "May, what do you think the two guests invited by the boss are doing? They look quite mysterious. They only drank a pot of tea and have never left the study."
"Irina, I don't know too much. Anyway, they are friends of the boss. We don't need to know too much." While eating, May replied absentmindedly to the questions raised by Irina.
When she delivered the tea to the room before, she was caught eavesdropping, so she didn't have time to think too much. But afterward, when she thought about the whole thing, she found something that went against common sense. How could the boss know that she was eavesdropping? And how did the door open? But when she saw the door opened, the three of them were sitting on chairs.
At this moment, Lockhart watched Kaecilius open a portal leading to the New York Sanctuary. Especially when the two people were leaving, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes. But immediately, looking at the leftovers on the desk, he waved his wand and cleared away the trash. Smelling the odorless air and looking at the brand-new and clean study room, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction. Then he opened the door and walked outside.
After walking to the front hall, he found that Alice was the only one guarding the front desk, so he asked curiously, "Alice, where did May and the others go?" Alice was bored playing with her mobile phone at the front desk, but suddenly she heard her boss's voice. She was so frightened that she immediately put her phone upside down on the table, then raised her head with some guilt and stared at the boss blankly.
Lockhart was speechless when he saw Alice's actions, but he still repeated his question. "Alice, where did May and the others go?"
"Oh, boss, May and the others went to the pantry to eat." After hearing Alice's answer, he glanced at her cell phone upside down on the table. Without saying anything, he turned and walked towards the break room.
He did not forget that there was a little trouble that could not be solved directly due to the presence of Kaecilius and Morin. Now that the two of them had left, it was time to settle the last bit of the problem.
