Chapter 392: Avengers Adventure! (Part 2)
When Peter and Strange were pulled into the Mind Palace, they were still a little confused. Strange was used to coming to the Dream Base after falling asleep. What made him feel strange was why the landing site this time was not in the familiar high-level conference room, but in the corridor of a high tower?
Peter simply didn't understand what was going on. He remembered that he was playing games in front of the game console in the last second, and suddenly appeared in a strange place in the next second.
Charles looked at Peter helplessly and said, "Child, I'm not that kind of old-fashioned parent, but playing games at 3 a.m. is really a bit..."
Peter scratched his head, showing an embarrassed expression, looking at Stark's not-so-good face, Peter explained: "It's not like this every day, but a new game was released recently."
"Speaking of which, where is this? Why did I suddenly come here, and why are you all here?"
Peter frowned and said, "My spider sense didn't work at all, how did you get me here?"
Charles explained the situation here to the two people who had just arrived, and then he said, "Dr. Connors is also staying up late to do research, but because the research he is doing is very important, it may be dangerous to stop suddenly, so I didn't pull him here..."
Stark said, "Huh," "You didn't say that when you hypnotized me and pulled me here."
Charles sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I can pull him here now, as long as you can accept that there will be hundreds of big lizards running in New York City tomorrow."
"No!" Steve said immediately.
"Professor Charles, I understand what you just said, so what should I do now?" Peter asked.
"Let's go to my world first to study the problem of magic."
Steve did not raise any objections, he just said: "Are you sure that more people can go in?"
We can try it first, if it doesn't work, let Professor Charles pull us out, anyway, the two of them just came in, they are more energetic and can withstand a failure. "
"You go in together, I will stay outside to prevent any accidents. "Charles turned and walked towards the railing, and the others followed Stark to the door at the end of the corridor.
Stark walked into the door first. After a moment of daze, he returned to the boat. Sitting next to him were the three people who came in with him. They all turned back to their childhood appearance. Looking at each other, they couldn't help but giggle. The lights reflected on their innocent faces, making their eyes brighter than the stars.
What was more surprising was that the thinnest among them was Steve, who was originally the strongest. He was a thin and small boy wearing glasses. He looked like the most common nerd in school.
Peter didn't change much, because he was not very old, but just a little smaller in proportion. His face looked similar. Stark and Strange looked good when they were young, but Stark's eyes were particularly bright.
Except for Stark, the three people looked at their arms and bodies curiously. Stark turned around and shouted: "Don't laugh, row quickly, we have to get off the boat quickly, and we can only see the scenery inside if we stand in the front row. ”
The process from rowing, getting off the boat to arriving at the auditorium was exactly the same, as if playing a game all over again from the beginning.
However, this time Peter was the first to be called. When he walked to the front of the chair, he wanted to grab the hat with his hands, but the Sorting Hat dodged it by tilting his head. When the hat was put on his head, he still wanted to grab the brim of the hat with his hands, but was stopped by the teacher in time.
"How do you work? Do you have a brain? Where are your legs? In the hat, or on your brim?" Peter spit out a series of questions, and then he continued to ask: "They say you can sort people into colleges based on their different qualities, so how do you judge a person's qualities?"
"How many students have you sorted? Have you ever sorted them wrong? What if you sorted them wrong?"
Then Peter heard the Sorting Hat take a deep breath, and suddenly, a deafening roar resounded in the auditorium:
"Gryffindor!
The next person to be sorted was Steve Rogers. He walked forward, took a curious look at the hat, and then sat down obediently. When the teacher put the hat on his head, the Sorting Hat made a low sound: "Hmm..."
"Determined, kind, and brave, child, you really surprise me, you have so many good qualities..."
Steve had already listened to Stark's preliminary introduction to the four colleges on the way just now. He asked the Sorting Hat: "Which college is more suitable for me?"
"Actually, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are both suitable for you, Ravenclaw is also OK, it depends on which college you want to choose, do you need me to introduce it to you?"
"Gryffindor is a lion in the wilderness. They are brave and fearless. They always rush to the front. Of course, sometimes they will cause a lot of trouble because of their recklessness."
"Hufflepuff is a little badger in the cave. They are kind, united, and willing to share, but sometimes they are hesitant because they are too sentimental..."
"Oh! Wait! I feel it... In this regard, you can't deceive yourself. You belong to-Hufflepuff!"
The table with the most people at the bottom let out loud cheers. Steve walked over with a smile, shook hands and hugged them. The Sorting Hat was right. When he heard about Hufflepuff’s qualities, Steve’s There was a voice inside telling him that he should belong here.

When Strange sat on it, the Sorting Hat was silent for a long time, and then he asked: "There are many weird things in your mind, where do they come from?"
"Don't worry about it. Which college should I go to?"
"No, no, no, I have to remind you that there is a lot of taboo knowledge in your mind, which may endanger your safety. If you don't tell me its source, I will shout out right now. The teacher is here to stop you and your parents."
The Sorting Hat said in a serious tone: "I didn't expect that after the war, there would be pure-blood parents teaching their children these taboo black magic knowledge. Which family are you from?... Hey, wait, your last name is What? Strange? Are you a branch of the Strange family?
Before Strange could explain, the Sorting Hat seemed to have figured out everything on his own. He said, "Well, these pure-blood families are always so bold. Do you think I can't tell if they change their names?"
"This school has existed for thousands of years, and I know some of the rules. If you don't want your secret to be discovered, it's best..."
Devour
"Slytherin."
When Moon Centenary Hat read out the name, his tone was a little low, completely different from the high-pitched and excited tone in the past, like an echo coming from distant history.
The group of people who greeted Strange were far less enthusiastic than other colleges. They just stood up and nodded to him reservedly. One of the older ones stepped forward, shook hands with him, and said, " Welcome here, you won’t regret your choice, because we are Slytherin.”
After the separation, everyone went back to their homes. What was very strange was that the four of them were assigned to four different colleges, so they could only get together when two students took classes together.
The first Charms class was held by Ravenclaw and Slytherin, so Stark could communicate with Strange about the use of spells.
Because Stark had already learned it once, he used the levitation spell very freely. Strange did not move. He just looked at the wand in his hand, thoughtfully. Seeing his actions, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"You know what? What I see from this wand is not a kind of power." Strange stared at the wand blankly, as if he was recalling something, and said: "If you are in Kamatai, If you live for a while, you will understand that magic is completely disconnected from human society."
"The education, production and distribution you have seen in human society are completely inapplicable in the magical world."
He turned the wand in his hand and said: "What surprised me most is that in this dream, there is an industry that specializes in making magic tools. Did you hear what they said? There is a commercial street. There is also a shop selling wands..."
Strange shook his head and continued: "In reality, this is almost impossible, because even if we have raw materials, methods, and producers, we don't have that many customers."
"Why?" Strange asked himself and answered: "Because magic is still a subject that cannot be popularized. Whether a person can learn it depends not on his learning ability, effort level or time spent, but on It's his luck."
As he spoke, he looked up at the blackboard and said, "And why do they have so many buyers and customers? I think the answer is here."
"They have a complete education system, have you seen it? There are teachers, students, and even textbooks and homework. They learn and grow here, and then graduate and become members of the wizarding world. They have different roles in this world. Do your job.”
Strange sighed and said: "From the moment I entered the universe, I was thinking that Kama Taj's mission to protect the earth will not end with the development and strength of human beings. On the contrary, there are people in the universe. Endless challenges await us.”
"Magic is the most special ability that humans can master. It may not be the sharpest spear, but it must be the strongest shield. How to make this shield stronger to deal with the dangers that are coming one after another in the universe? , is a question I have been thinking about.”
"There is no doubt that we must follow the path of parallel magic and technology. What makes magic inferior to technology is its popularity."
"In elementary school, ordinary humans will start by understanding numbers, doing addition and subtraction arithmetic, and then go all the way to advanced mathematics in college. But magic does not have this process."
"Could it be because of the nature of magic? Aren't you borrowing power from the devil?" Stark asked.
"Yes, but learning how to borrow power is only the first step in magic. The reason why human magic is magical is that we have developed unique magic technology."
"Have you seen among the civilizations in Andromeda a portal that is as convenient as ours? As powerful as the Kree, do they have a mirror space? Can they use the crimson ribbon?"
"Do you think they don't want to do this?"
"Human creativity is a treasure in any field, but the problem with magic is that the threshold for mastering these technologies is too high."
"Because we borrow power from the cosmic demons, young wizards are not allowed to borrow overly powerful powers because they cannot control them. However, the less they practice, the less they can control. Therefore, only the most gifted among them can master these magic skills in this state of blind men and elephants."
Strange lowered his head and looked at the small wooden stick. He said, "This gave me a new idea. Although the children who have just joined Kamar-Taj cannot borrow power directly from the demons, the older wizards can borrow power and make it into magic items like this wand."

"In this way, young wizards will have the opportunity to gradually become familiar with magic. If they are combined with the same system as this school, and learn step by step, it may be possible to popularize magic."
"But the question is, what is the price of borrowing power? Who will pay?"
Strange looked at Stark in surprise and said, "Pay the price? When was that? Have you forgotten? The previous membership gifts and the membership fees paid by the demons are enough for us to use until the next century even if the great wizards are at full power."
Stark slapped his forehead. He forgot that Kamar-Taj has now changed from a buyer to a middleman, eating the plaintiff and then the defendant.
"Actually, what I want to learn most is the technology of making magic wands, but we can't seem to leave this school." Strange touched his face and said with a little regret: "I really want to know if they really have a way to produce magic items smoothly and efficiently?"
"Don't Kamar-Taj have this method?" Stark asked with a little curiosity.
Strange shook his head and said, "Even if the Supreme Sorcerer wants to make a treasure for self-defense, it depends on luck, and it is not always successful, but here..." Strange turned his head and looked at the students behind him and said, "Even the youngest wizards have a wand in their hands."
"Not only that, I heard that there are treasures left by the four founders of the academy. It would be great if I could take a look at them." Stark said, touching his chin.
In fact, Stark is also very interested in casting. Although it is magic casting, it may not be impossible for him to use it. After all, he still has a magic energy core.
