Chapter 2073 Asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket!!!
These words made almost all the Kamar-Taj wizards breathe a sigh of relief.
No matter what, mages are actually quite aloof. Even if they act indifferent to fame and fortune, they actually look down on ordinary people. There is nothing you can do about it. This is human nature. Just like all rich people actually look down on poor people!
All people are born equal, this sentence is the biggest "lie"!
The same goes for mages.
They possess powers that ordinary people cannot understand and knowledge that ordinary people cannot imagine.
All these make them feel superior to others... which is nothing. The same is true for Kai. He actually separated himself from ordinary people a long time ago. He is no longer one of the vast majority of proletarian working people.
Mages have so much knowledge and abilities that others dare not even think about, and it is too against human nature to let them be ordinary people like before. They are the most special, at least compared to ordinary people.
Therefore, the mages' aloofness and arrogance are reasonable.
This also makes them look down on the so-called government.
This makes them resist the so-called help from these people. In their view, these so-called helpers have certain "ill intentions". Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. No government can do much to turn a blind eye to an organization that has strong power, is extremely secretive, and is not controlled at all. They must find a way to figure out what is going on with this organization, and then use the information collected to make a judgment, whether to control or suppress it.
So Kamar-Taj will not seek help from these people.
It is both contempt and precaution!
But this doesn't mean that they don't want help... They just subconsciously dislike letting those guys who know nothing get involved in areas they don't understand at all... Even if organizations like the Spear Bureau can exist and develop to this day, they must have their own strengths, but this does not affect the mages' judgment of them.
Prejudice is harder to remove than a mountain. Just like those racists, even now, they still cannot accept that other ethnic groups are better than themselves. Even though countless evidences show that ability has nothing to do with race or skin color... Prejudice is prejudice!
But Asgard is different.
The self-important Kamar-Taj acknowledged the power of Asgard and were happy to accept their help.
Gu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.
She had little confidence in ordinary people's ability to fight against the demons from other dimensions. These guys were a bit like the monsters in Cthulhu mythology. Ordinary people would be contaminated when they saw them... Of course, they were not as scary and exaggerated as the Cthulhu mythology.
But it's still dangerous.
Even within Kamar-Taj, there are many examples of spells being contaminated due to long-term contact with alien forces.
Casillas was the best example.
This talented apprentice was easily bewitched by Dormammu after cracks appeared in his heart. In fact, the first lesson for every new mage apprentice joining Kamar-Taj is to warn them not to believe in anything that has its own thoughts!
Especially those things that come from other dimensions!
A book, a cup, or anything else, as long as it has its own thoughts, be wary!
But even so, people continue to be bewitched and corrupted... Many evil gods don't really care about ordinary people. After all, no matter how many people those guys bewitch, it's not as meaningful as a wizard.
In fact, many battles in Kamar-Taj were fought with these former colleagues, and not every fallen guy could be saved by Casillas at the last moment.
But the Asgardians are not afraid of this, because these guys have also made many conquests of other dimensions.
The most typical example is the fight against Surtur.
Odin once fought with Mephisto.
They have a lot of experience, so it would be a good thing if they could come in.
"But Odin..."
Ancient One and Odin are very familiar with each other, although neither of them likes each other very much. Ancient One heard that Odin was seriously injured by his daughter and has fallen into a coma... And Ancient One knows that Odin is not young anymore and is about to die.
"We can't count on him. Old Odin is already very old. Although his strength has not diminished... To be honest, that's the good thing about Asgardians. They get stronger as they get older, and they don't have the drawback of declining strength. But he was seriously injured in the battle with Ragnarok and has fallen into a deep sleep. We can't count on him."
Odin is willing to sacrifice his life for the earth... The Asgardians are never afraid of death. Their culture determines that they are not averse to dying in battle. In fact, for many Asgardian warriors, dying in battle is the best way of death they can think of.
The Asgardians are typical warmongers, and their desire for war has reached an extreme. Not only are they not afraid of life and death, they are eager to fight and die. They face death and believe that dying on the battlefield is an honor!
We have to consider the opinions of the family members!
Even if Thor can accept it, Frigga can't!
Frigga is not an Asgardian... Although many people ignore this point. But the fact is that Frigga is a mother in the traditional sense, and her greatest wish is probably that her family will live in harmony and peace!
"So only Thor, and by the way... there will be two goddesses returning to Earth."
"goddess?"
This time it wasn't just Ancient One who looked over, others also looked over.
Everyone has heard of gods but has never seen them. Although Thor is also a god... but everyone has become desensitized to him.
"Well, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and Melinoe, the goddess of the underworld."
The crowd suddenly became agitated.
First of all, there is the God of Love. He is very famous... Especially the men present. Although the mages have gotten rid of vulgar tastes, it does not mean that they can ignore the famous God of Love.
In ancient Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, has unparalleled charm. Her story is not only a brilliant chapter in mythology, but also has a profound impact on art, culture and even the concept of love in modern society. The identity and experience of this goddess show the human heart's persistence and pursuit of love, as if it is a bridge connecting ancient and modern emotions.
The origin of Aphrodite is full of mystery. According to the Theogony of the ancient Greek poet Hesiod, she was born from the foam of the ocean. She instantly attracted everyone's attention when she floated on the waves, like a beautiful goddess that had never been seen before. She is not only the embodiment of beauty, but also a symbol of desire and love. The image of Aphrodite is often harmoniously connected with nature, and her existence seems to represent vitality. Therefore, her story is deeply intertwined with various manifestations of love, which makes people intoxicated.
Of course, Aphrodite is most famous for her love history. To be honest, no other goddess in the world's mythology has a richer love history than Aphrodite. She seems to be either having an affair or on the way to having an affair. Her debauchery is as famous as her beauty. We won't talk about those famous stories. Anyway, everyone who has read the ancient Greek mythology will be interested in it.
Who doesn't like to talk about this? Everyone loves gossip!
Especially since such a goddess might be standing in front of them alive.
Of course, it might be a bit rude to talk about those gossips in front of the parties involved, but they were sure that Aphrodite would not mind. After all, she was the goddess of love, and this was what the goddess of love advocated!
She probably won't be shy about talking about these things, and will even openly discuss some embarrassing content!
"You actually know Aphrodite."
Strange and Kai are the most familiar with this place, so he is the one who says what everyone wants to say.
"Well, we knew each other before." Kai did not deny it. After all, Aphrodite was unlikely to help him cover up... You know, Aphrodite is very enthusiastic.
Strange opened his eyes wide and shouted in surprise: "You really know her?!!"
Kai shrugged, then told Strange to look at him.
"Look at me, dear Strange."
Strange seemed to have grasped something, but was a little unsure.
"I'm a normal man and I'm very handsome. I believe you can't deny that, right?" Kai said confidently.
Strange curled his lips. He really couldn't deny this. Although Kai was not the kind of handsome guy who was so handsome that he was inhumane, he was also handsome, tall and strong. He was the type that all women liked, of course, with the exception of some women with unique tastes. After all, women nowadays even like women...
But Strange didn't think he was inferior to Kai, he was also a handsome guy. At least that's what he thought, although Strange rarely talked about his appearance with others. After all, he always felt that he was a man who relied on his personal charm and professional ability to attract the opposite sex... Men rarely give in in this regard.
Kai continued: "Then I met Aphrodite, and I'm sure you can imagine what happened next."
Considering Aphrodite's style, everyone soon looked at Kai with envy and jealousy... Why wasn't I the one who met the god of love? There were even many people with unconventional ideas who shamelessly thought that maybe after meeting the god of love, they would also be able to have a passionate affair.
Even the most conservative wizard would secretly think like this... There's nothing you can do about it, since the God of Love is so famous.
"This time we sneaked into the Pantheon, and it was indeed Aphrodite who helped a lot. Because of this, she angered Zeus, so she had to come out to avoid the limelight." Kai did not continue this topic. Would I tell you that this time I will renew my relationship with the Queen of Heaven Hera and the God of War Athena? He has already boasted enough.
As for Melinoe... Generally speaking, people who don't specialize in Greek mythology don't know much about this goddess.
At least most mages have never heard of this goddess. After all, mages don't study mythology on purpose, as it doesn't help them much. Most mages knew about mythology before they became mages.
Too unpopular.
"Melinoë... She is Thor's new girlfriend, the daughter of Hades and Persephone."
Melinoe may not be famous, but Persephone is not as famous as the Queen of the Underworld. So half of the men began to communicate with each other with knowing eyes. The gossip about Persephone and Zeus is still widely circulated.
'Beside the River Lamentations in the underworld, on the sacred bed of Zeus, son of Cronus, Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, conceived Melinoë.'
Scholars generally hold two versions of the myth of Melinoe's birth. One is that Zeus disguised himself as Pluto and had a son with Hades; the other is that Zeus tricked Pluto and slept with Hades. Anyway, no matter which one it is, Hades' hat is green!
In fact, the original text of the myth is ambiguous and unclear, so Zeus and Pluto are both considered to be the father of Melinoe.
To meet two famous goddesses at once, even someone like Strange was a little impatient.
Who the hell doesn’t want to see it?
Even some younger male wizards began to fantasize about meeting the god of love!
This is not a big illusion, after all, the main feature of the Greek gods is debauchery!
Of course, they instinctively overlooked one problem, that is, the famous God of Love is an absolute face-obsessed person!
She definitely won’t like anything that doesn’t look good!
But no one will admit that they are not handsome!
"So when can we expect reinforcements?"
Fortunately, Mordo is not interested in this. To be honest... this is a bit of a downer. After all, even the Ancient One did not disturb the mages' fantasies. Everyone has been too tense during this period. Proper relaxation is good for everyone's physical and mental health.
But Modu insisted on talking about business... This was even more annoying. After all, what he was doing was right, and no one could interrupt him, let alone blame him.
"You know, they have the Rainbow Bridge and can provide support at any time when you need them. Even if you want them to come over now, that's fine."
When Mordo heard this, he turned around and looked at his teacher.
Ancient One was deep in thought at the moment.
She needs to think about it carefully.
How to use this reinforcement?
To be honest, Asgard’s strength is unquestionable, but allowing them to enter the Earth on a large scale... also requires careful consideration.
The last time they entered the Earth in large numbers was more than two thousand years ago.
At that time, Kamar-Taj had no way to deal with the invasion of Frost Giants... This kind of thing has always been regarded as a shame in the history of Kamar-Taj, but Kamar-Taj at that time had no choice. After all, mages are not crops in the fields. As long as there is enough manure, they will continue to grow. Mages require talent, and the production of this thing depends entirely on God's will. At that time, the number of mages in Kamar-Taj was at a historical low, and they also had to fight against the threat from other dimensions, which resulted in them having no spare energy to deal with the problem of Frost Giants, so they could only leave this trouble to Asgard.
But this is not a reason for Kamar-Taj to hand over her duties, so this has always been regarded as a stain.
It takes courage to ask for outside help, even Gu Yi needs to consider his reputation after death.
