Chapter 927: Calm

Chapter 1044: Calm

Following behind Sorcerer Yun Lan, Lin Rui once again entered the courtyard where Ancient One resided for training. Compared to his previous visit, Lin Rui could clearly sense that there were more people here now.

Along the way, he had already seen over a dozen young sorcerers. Obviously, these young sorcerers had come to participate in the selection process. As for Jack, Lin Rui hadn’t contacted him yet and had no idea how he was doing.

Amid the curious and puzzled gazes of the sorcerers around him, Lin Rui finally followed Sorcerer Yun Lan to the back of the courtyard. There were fewer people here compared to the outer courtyard, and further inside was the place where Lin Rui had previously met Ancient One.

Although it was his second visit, and his own strength had improved several times since then, he couldn’t help but feel nervous as he approached the house in front of him.

Exhaling softly, Lin Rui reached the doorway of the room. Sorcerer Yun Lan pushed open the wooden door and walked in, with Lin Rui trailing behind. Upon entering the room, Lin Rui saw a familiar figure standing in the center of the room, facing him— it was Ancient One, the leader of the Earth sorcerers.

“Master,” Sorcerer Yun Lan nodded slightly and greeted Ancient One.

“Hmm, Yun Lan, go outside and have a look at those people. Before the next round of selection, you can guide them,” Ancient One nodded and smiled, instructing Yun Lan.

“Yes, Master,” Sorcerer Yun Lan responded, then turned and left the room, leaving Lin Rui alone with Ancient One.

Exhaling softly, Ancient One gestured for Lin Rui to sit on the mat in front of him after Sorcerer Yun Lan had departed and Ancient One also took a seat.

“Have a seat, Jackson.” With Sorcerer Yun Lan gone, Ancient One motioned for Lin Rui to sit on the mat in front of him, and Ancient One himself sat down as well.

“Sure.” Without any hesitation, Lin Rui replied and took a seat.

Lin Rui wasn’t in a hurry, and he didn’t mind Ancient One’s seemingly relaxed demeanor. After all, if something was really going to happen, a few moments wouldn’t make a difference.

“I heard from Rick that you have information about the traitors,” Ancient One poured a cup of tea for the seated Lin Rui and then continued speaking. It was clear that he had no intention of delaying matters.

“Kaecilius, is that the name? The leader of the Earth sorcerer traitors and once your most exceptional disciple, Ancient One,” Instead of directly answering Ancient One’s question, Lin Rui revealed the name and identity of Kaecilius.

Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Ancient One’s eyes blinked several times. He was quite sensitive to that name. After all, Kaecilius had indeed been Ancient One’s most proud and talented disciple.

“It seems you do know about the traitor. So, what do you have to tell me now?” Without asking how Lin Rui knew about Kaecilius and the traitors, Ancient One continued his inquiry.

“Kaecilius, the traitor, they are likely to target the major Sanctums in the near future,” Lin Rui answered directly without beating around the bush.

Since Lin Rui already knew about the traitors, it wasn’t surprising that he also knew about the Sanctums.

Therefore, Ancient One was now concerned about why the traitors suddenly decided to make a move, particularly targeting the Sanctums.

Upon hearing Lin Rui’s answer, Ancient One couldn’t help but furrow his brow and whisper a few words to himself.

“So they’re targeting the Sanctums? Could it be…” Ancient One murmured, his voice filled with concern.

The Earth sorcerers had established three Sanctums on Earth, located in New York, London, and Hong Kong. These three Sanctums served as the focal points of a powerful magical barrier that enveloped the entire Earth, shielding it from the invasion of evil forces from other dimensions.

If the traitors were indeed targeting the Sanctums, their aim was undoubtedly to disrupt this protective barrier that safeguarded the entire Earth. Once the barrier was destroyed, the Earth would be exposed to the eyes of malevolent sorcerers and wizards from other dimensions.

For the present state of Earth, although Ancient One alone could deter those who harbored ill intentions towards Earth, without the protection of the powerful magical barrier, the planet would attract a continuous stream of threats.

Even if Ancient One possessed formidable strength, he would eventually exhaust himself. Therefore, the integrity of the three Sanctums was of utmost importance.

As for Kaecilius’s betrayal, it was due to the allure of Dormammu. If it was indeed Kaecilius who intended to destroy the Sanctums, it was evidently to pave the way for Dormammu’s smooth invasion of Earth. Dormammu was a super boss even Ancient One feared.

“It must be Dormammu coming.” Just as Ancient One was muttering to himself, Lin Rui continued to speak.

Swish!

Ancient One, who had appeared relatively composed, finally displayed a noticeable change in his expression. He instantly locked his gaze onto Lin Rui after he mentioned the name Dormammu.

“So, Ancient One, do you have any response to the situation I mentioned? Or, do you think this thing is impossible?” Lin Rui continued to ask without paying attention to Ancient One’s surprise.

“Why Wouldn’t I believe it? Actually, I already had a premonition that this day will come sooner or later.” Hearing Lin Rui’s question, Ancient One shook his head and replied.

As a powerful Sorcerer Supreme, even if Ancient One doesn’t use the power of the Time Stone, he can still foresee some things that will happen in the future. Otherwise, the Ancient One wouldn’t have left a little psychic power on Lin Rui back then, although he couldn’t see Lin Rui’s future clearly.

Moreover, since Ancient One also absorbed some dark energy from the dark dimension, he sensed that Dormammu was coming. Otherwise, the Ancient One would not hold the selection of a new Sorcerer Supreme at this time.

After all, the Ancient One didn’t know if he could stop Dormammu this time, and he had to pave the way for the Earth sorcerer as soon as possible.

“Since you already had a premonition…” Hearing Ancient One’s answer, it was Lin Rui’s turn to be surprised.

“Okay, I know you came here to remind me to beware of betrayers. However, what should come will always come, and what we can do at this moment is hut give it our best.” Seeing that Lin Rui still has something to say, Ancient One waved his hand and interrupted him.
