An hour later.
Wang's matters were also handled.
Luo Di received permission from Strange to go to the library to read, searching for any existing records about the Multiverse.
In the library, Luo Di saw Wang again.
He was drinking tea.
He looked a bit down.
Indeed!
After all, Mordo had just died, and their relationship was good before Mordo turned dark.
Now that Mordo had become like this, Wang must have felt quite sad.
"Sorcerer Wang, I have received permission from Strange to come to the library to read."
Luo Di stepped forward and said to Wang.
Wang nodded, clearly already aware of the matter.
"The Kamar-Taj library is divided into two parts: one is the public reading area, where all Sorcerers can read the books, and the other is the restricted section, which generally requires the Sorcerer Supreme's permission to access."
Wang stood up and introduced the library to Luo Di, taking him on a tour.
"The books you are looking for, related to the Multiverse, should only be available in the restricted section."
Wang led Luo Di to the restricted section.
He opened a door, and inside was the restricted section.
The books here carried a certain taboo, some even directly containing evil power.
The reason these books were not destroyed but placed in the restricted section was because Sorcerer Ancient One believed that knowledge should not be destroyed.
However, sometimes Wang did not quite agree with Sorcerer Ancient One's view, as this knowledge could very well lead people down the wrong path.
Just like Kaecilius before!
But Wang was just a librarian; he was not the Sorcerer Supreme, so his thoughts could not influence everything.
"The books in the restricted section all carry evil power, so be careful when reading them!"
Wang said to Luo Di.
However, he quickly remembered that Luo Di was not a Sorcerer at all.
He also could not communicate with the power of Vishanti.
Therefore, even if he read these books, there would likely be no major issue.
Of course!
If Luo Di actively sought out knowledge on absorbing energy from other dimensions and learned it, then the problem might not be so simple.
But for someone to become a Sorcerer through self-study?
That was too difficult, too difficult!
Wang did not believe Luo Di could do it.
However;
In reality, Luo Di had no intention of becoming a Sorcerer.
He already possessed many types of power.
Moreover, the spells of the Kamar-Taj lineage all required borrowing the power of Vishanti to be used.
Luo Di did not want the power of Vishanti to enter his body.
That might expose some of his secrets!
Furthermore;
The power of others is always given by others.
What if one day Vishanti was unwilling to give it?
These Sorcerers would probably all become useless!
"Don't worry, Sorcerer Wang, I just want to find some records about the Multiverse."
Luo Di said.
Wang nodded, believing that Luo Di was not deceiving him.
So, after telling Luo Di that he could come find him if anything came up, Wang turned and left the restricted section.
After Wang left, Luo Di walked to a bookshelf, picked up a random book, and opened it!
There were not many books in the restricted section.
But there were over a hundred.
Most of them could be picked up and read directly, but some were locked with magical chains.
These books were particularly dangerous!
The one Luo Di was currently reading belonged to the less dangerous category.
...
In the days that followed.
Luo Di would occasionally come to Kamar-Taj to read.
Anyway, he had the ability to teleport, making it very convenient to come and go, no worse than a Sorcerer's Sling Ring.
After several days of continuous reading, Luo Di's understanding of magic deepened significantly.
It must be said;
What Mordo said earlier was actually not wrong.
That is, Sorcerers are indeed the greatest threat to this World!
Of course!
This refers to fallen Sorcerers.
Ordinary Sorcerers are Guardians who swear to protect Earth.
Naturally, there would be no danger.
But if a Sorcerer falls due to some obsession, especially if this Sorcerer's talent is exceptionally powerful.
Then it becomes extremely, extremely dangerous!
For example;
Doctor Strange!
Strange is a very dangerous Sorcerer.
Once he falls due to certain events, it is entirely possible for him to drag countless Multiverses into mutual destruction!
However, Luo Di observed that the Strange of this World did not have that particular obsession.
Although the Christine of this World had not yet gotten together with Strange, Christine also had not taken any other boyfriends, and the two occasionally contacted each other.
It was just that Strange was somewhat of a straightforward man, never daring to face his feelings for Christine, always delaying confessing to her.
But as long as Christine remained single, Strange would always have a chance.
And Strange, who had not lost Christine, naturally would not turn dark.
Just like Superman's weakness is Lois.
Strange's weakness is Christine!
Whether he was willing to admit it or not, this woman indeed held a special place in his heart.
...
PS: Fourth update delivered!!!.
Chapter 114: Half a Year Later! The Fuse of Civil War! Picking Up a Little Witch! [First Update]
During Luo Di's time reading at Kamar-Taj, nothing major happened in the outside World.
Except that the Superheroes of Free City still frequently made headlines.
The Avengers would appear in international news once or twice every month.
Other than that, there seemed to be no major incidents.
Gwen and Daisy had been partnering up to fight crime during this period.
Their main area of operation was within a few districts of Free City.
Most of the time, they were active in Manhattan.
Occasionally, they would also go to Brooklyn and the Bronx.
As for Queens, that was Spider-Man's territory; the little Spider worked harder than anyone else.
Gwen and Daisy, for instance, basically worked inconsistently.
Only when they had free time and nothing else to do would they go out and play their Superhero roles.
Unlike Peter.
He spent at least 9 hours a day acting as Spider-Man, and his figure had appeared in every corner of Queens.
The title of "Free City's Good Neighbor" was already well-known!
Peter was also very happy to be loved by everyone.
Although some haters would occasionally appear online, Peter generally took their comments as a form of self-motivation.
Seeing those haters eventually become his loyal fans was Peter's happiest thing.
Though it rarely happened.
Additionally;
Free City also experienced a wave of learning from Superheroes during this time.
Some Ordinary people, or those with some martial arts skills, also used their self-made hero suits and began patrolling the streets.
Although these street heroes might not truly be able to fight crime.
However, their frequent patrols on the streets or in their own communities brought significant changes to the public safety of the surrounding environment.
Overall, there were more benefits than drawbacks.
Of course, there were occasional news reports of street heroes being injured and hospitalized by criminals, or even found dead on the streets.
But this did not seem to deter people's enthusiasm.
In a flash;
Half a year quickly passed.
Over the past six months, the street hero craze in Free City gradually faded.
One or two months ago, one could still frequently see those street heroes in Strange costumes patrolling various places, but in the past two months, such figures have become increasingly rare.
However, Spider-Man remained true to his original intention, consistently upholding his persona as Free City's Good Neighbor, bustling around Queens every day.
Yet, the appearance of Superheroes did not seem to make this World a better place.
On the contrary;
People in many parts of the World still lived in suffering.
The U.S.'s military jurisdiction continued to expand.
People in some third-World countries suffered greatly, but no one came to save them.
At this time, the Superheroes, worshipped and supported by countless people, seemed to have disappeared.
War, plunder, sanctions!
