Chapter 144: Temptation
Chapter 144: Temptation
If such a powerful person could help them protect the real world, it would be better for them.
Although the next Sorcerer Supreme was the best among all the ages. He still needed to take some time to grow up to be a qualified master.
After hearing Ancient Ones words, Bruce was stunned, then he nodded slightly. At this moment, the conversation between them was irrelevant to conspiracy. It was just a request from the Ancient One.
Regardless of whether Ancient One chose to die in the battle with Kaecilius or put it off for a short time, she was always a mortal, and would die finally.
Bruce could predict that after the next master-Doctor Strange served as the Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One would stop absorbing the power of the dark dimension. And as long as she stopped, her death was inevitable.
Therefore, her death was doomed. And Bruce really did not have a better way to stop that.
I can promise you that I will help the next Sorcerer Supreme to protect the real world. At the moment, Bruce said.
Once the real world was destroyed, Bruce himself would also be in trouble.
After hearing Bruces promise, Ancient One breathed a sigh of relief and said, I have stopped countless terrible things happening, but bad things always come continuously. Everyone will come to this step. I cant see what your future is, but I see a possibility that there will be a great problem in the real world in the future. At that time, there must be someone brave to stand out.
Ancient One was also the first time to open her heart to say these to Bruce, and her face was as calm as ever. At the moment, it was like she was telling a very ordinary story, which had never happened at all.
But in fact, she had experienced too many things. Therefore, no matter if it was the end of life or the birth of life, there was no much significance to her.
If one had lived so long, it would be like this. More importantly, in order to protect the real world, she had devoted so much.
Do you think the person who could be brave to stand out would be me? Bruce asked.
It might be you, but it could be someone else. I dont know, Ancient One said with a smile.

She could spy on the future but she would not do anything to prevent something that should have happened from happening, All things had its own law, the Ancient One always understood that.
In fact, whether she should break the law, she was very struggling in her heart. But she finally chose not to break.
I understand. Bruce said.
Looking at the Eye Of Agamotto in front of her, she said again, the Eye Of Agamotto has incredible power, but I understand that youre not too interested in it. This is the book of Cagliostro, which records some things about Time Gems and dark dimensions. I hope it can help you.
The Ancient One placed an ancient book on the iron chain shelf in front of Bruce. This was her first time to hand this book to others initiatively, as the book recorded the use of the Time Gem.
At the moment, Bruce was a little shocked. He was not sure whether Ancient One really trusted him so much. More importantly, if she did trust him, why not the system reminded him?
At the moment, Bruce thought this in his heart. In this world, he would not completely trust any person. He only trusted himself.
But the Ancient One had handed such an important thing to him. In other peoples eyes, this was absolutely a kind of trust, but Bruce hesitated.
Of course, he wanted to have the power to control the Time Gem. But things came so quickly that he was a little hesitant.
Master, I just want to have the power to protect myself. After hearing this, Ancient One smiled.
She looked at Bruce with a smile and her eyes were shining with light. No one could resist the temptation of power completely, including her.
But Bruces answer seemed not to be much interested in controlling the Time Gem. Therefore, Ancient One was more sure that Bruce was not a person who pursued power blindly and she was relieved.
You can slowly read these books and decide if you use the Time Gem. After saying that, Ancient One did not wait for Bruces reply but she slowly put the book in her hand back to the original place.
Just as Bruce wanted to say something, the systems voice immediately appeared in his mind.
Beep, congratulations to the host for gaining the trust of Ancient One!
Beep, congratulations to the host for completing the task and getting 50,000 points of energy value!
The sound of the system made Bruce shocked. Actually, what had just happened was Ancient Ones temptation test. If he easily accepted, Ancient One would doubt him.
But Bruce was very cautious and did not accept it immediately. Therefore, for the Ancient One, this meant that Bruce could resist the temptation of power.
Because the Book of Cagliostro recorded the Time Gem, which represented eternal life, and no one would resist it. And Ancient One had already told these to Bruce.
But Bruce still did not accept it immediately. Therefore, she could trust Bruce completely.
In fact, even Bruce did not have the help of Time Gem and the dark dimension, his life span was also very enough. But with Time Gem, he could increase his lifespan for at least thousands of years.
However, he was not so tempted by this. And as for the Time Gem, Bruce was also very clear that Ancient One would not easily hand over to him.
Now, Bruces previous hesitation made Ancient One trust him completely.
Beep, please host and gain the trust of Doctor Strange, Stephen Vincent Strange in three months!
At this moment, the new task was issued again, and as expected, it was related to Doctor Strange. All this was under Bruces control.
And now he had gained a great deal of energy value after completing the task. This also meant that he could continue to download the ability of Ancient One.
And these abilities were all what Bruce wanted.
