"Let's go."
Ye Li took Wanda's delicate hand and led the way in a different direction. "I know where to go, follow me."
"Oh."
Tony was just about to check with the satellite network but stopped when he heard Ye Li. "You're like a walking radar, buddy. Mind telling me how you do that?"
Ye Li didn't even turn around and kept walking. "I know the head of Kamar-Taj," he said.
Strange was pleasantly surprised. "Really?"
That meant he could be considered a connected insider.
Tony was also surprised, "Li, you mean you've actually learned magic?"
"Magic? Does this count?"
Ye Li raised his left hand, making a light lifting gesture, and golden light spread from his palm.
However, this time it was different from what he had shown before.
Previously, whenever he used the Golden Light Spell, regardless of its shape, it had to remain connected as a whole.
If the light split into two segments, the detached part would become uncontrollable and naturally dissipate.
But this time...
He combined it with his biological field, and the Golden Light Spell successfully transformed into twenty-one faintly rune-etched golden spheres.
They were embedded in an invisible field around him, not dispersing, appearing to float around him.
"Magic!"
This mystical scene naturally drew everyone's attention.
Not only Strange and his companions but also passersby stopped in their tracks, staring in shock.
A local: "M-Magic! A master!"
A traveler: "Is he a temple monk? He doesn't look like one?"
A monk: "His cultivation is above mine!"
"Didn't expect them all to be so amazed....."
Seeing that his mere small act had caused a street-wide blockage, Ye Li chuckled and waved his hand, dissolving the Golden Light Spell.
After staying in the supernatural world for too long, sometimes he really thought these things... were also normal to ordinary people.
In fact, that wasn't the case.
Not every place was like New York, where people had become desensitized to the extraordinary.
Take Kathmandu, for example.
Here, the only supernatural powers typically seen were from the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.
Wen~~
With a stylish flick of a certain someone's hand———
The golden spheres sprouted, rapidly transforming into dazzling, gold-patterned butterflies～
They lightly flapped their wings and flew beyond the biological field's range, then spectacularly dissolved into sparkling dust.
Only one remained—the most beautiful golden-patterned butterfly—landing gently on Wanda's fair hand, its wings softly fluttering in an elegant display.
...Ye Li, once again, took the chance to flirt a little with the girl again.
"Butterfly~?"
Seeing the beautiful butterfly land on her hand, the girl found it romantic and felt delighted inside.
However, the surrounding crowd had a completely different reaction—
Rustle rustle rustle...
Many devout pilgrims, upon seeing Ye Li create the butterflies just to flirt, all simultaneously knelt down in waves.
"Sage.... Sage...."
"The mage reveals himself....."
They worshiped Ye Li, chanting "Sage" and other Nepali words...
Seeing the crowd kneeling around them, Tony felt uncomfortable. "Oh... I don't like people kneeling for me."
Strange nodded. "Me neither."
"Oh, come on, you two."
Pietro rolled his eyes at them. "Do you really think they're kneeling for you? Have some self-awareness."
Wanda glanced at the worshippers, then at the light butterfly resting on her shoulder, feeling a sense of awe: So, sorcerers are really this respected...
Ye Li tugged Wanda along, unfazed by the reverent gazes around them. "Let's keep going."
"Mm."
As the five of them walked away into the distance...
A black man in a sorcerer's robe watched them from afar, thoughts swirling in his mind: Strange… Is he the one Master mentioned? But who's the one leading them? That was a spell I've never seen before, and he knows the Master… Could he be a friend of the Master?
At first, Mordo had scoffed when he heard Ye Li claim to know the "head of Kamar-Taj," thinking he was just boasting... but after witnessing his abilities, many thoughts began to form in his mind.
However, following the Ancient One's orders was more important. Mordo immediately stepped forward and began following the five of them.
…..
A dim alley.
"Still not there yet?"
Pietro looked around—
"That Kamar-Taj is supposed to be nearby? This place looks even shadier than my neighborhood." Ye Li said calmly, "We're almost there."
"Do we make a move?"
Behind the piled-up junk at the alley corner.
Three seasoned robbers were secretly watching Ye Li's group. They specialized in robbing foreign tourists.
But at this moment, the three of them hesitated a little...
Because their targets were a group of five, with four young and strong men—especially the one with dyed white hair... He looked like he could fight.
"These are some fat sheep..."
The blond gang leader licked his lips greedily, unwilling to let Ye Li's group go.
No helping it.
Tony's side just looked filthy rich.....
Tap tap....
"Damn, they're coming...."
Seeing the leading Asian youth approaching the alley corner, the blond thug quickly came up with an idea, his gaze falling on Wanda who was holding Ye Li's hand, and whispered to his companions———
"We grab that pretty chick first, then we can threaten them to hand over the money! Move fast!"
"Boss, you're brilliant!"
Tap tap.....
Ye Li of course knew about the three guys hiding in the corner. As he approached the turn, he paused, secretly finding it a little funny——
Three little punks trying to mug Iron Man, the future Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver...
All he could say was. Truly brave.
