The sales of the comic company's first issue, Nightwatchman, were very gratifying. The first print run of 50,000 copies of the comic was sold out in just a week.
All the major newsstands called to ask for more copies, which was a very gratifying result for a new comic magazine.
Because of the good sales, even traditional comic book stores began to place orders.
That was a good thing. One had to know that Li Jie's company had not opened up the sales channels of those comic book stores before.
Now, it seemed that the physical sales channels of all New York had expressed great interest in this new comic magazine, especially the gimmick of this comic.
The concept of the true story of a real hero was full of anticipation. This was quite worth the copyright of the IP.
Something very interesting happened in the process of selling the comic. Many young women bought this comic magazine with the main content of superheroes.
That was a relatively rare thing. One had to know that in European and American comics, there would be a certain number of female readers who liked superhero comics with muscular men.
However, the readers of this kind of comic were mostly young men. It was indeed small news that so many women bought a superhero comic this time.
This was all thanks to the appeal of a certain doujin artist on the internet, causing many fans to pay for this comic.
The new semester was about to start, and Li Jie was about to usher in the last period of his life as a student.
Li Jie didn't even have time to think about it before he received another summon from Ancient One.
The summon this time seemed more formal and polite. It was not as simple and crude as sending a mage over and saying that Ancient One wanted to see him.
The first thing Li Jie received was an email from the guardian mage of the New York Sanctum.
The gist of it was that Ancient One wanted to meet Li Jie again and might need Li Jie's help to do something.
The letter was written very tactfully and politely, saying that if Li Jie did not have time, he could not come.
Li Jie thought for a long time and decided to take some time to go to the New York Sanctum. He showed the mage ring that Ancient One had given him last time as a token.
The mages in New York opened the portal and sent Li Jie to Kamateki.
Although Li Jie had been here once, the strange buildings in Kamateki were still pleasing to the eye.
"I obey your summons. What can I do for you, Ancient One?" Li Jie met Ancient One again in the room where he met Ancient One last time.
What was different from the last time was that the two of them met alone. This time, there were two more people in the room.
It was a strong man with long golden hair. He looked very mighty, and his body was as perfect as a statue of the gods carved by an ancient Greek sculptor.
However, it seemed that the man was sitting on the carpet sullenly, and he didn't seem to have any manners at all.
The other man, who was thinner and weaker, had a different kind of handsomeness. He seemed to have an extraordinary bearing. Even if he was simply sitting cross-legged, it still showed a certain attitude.
It seemed like he had a good upbringing and was even of noble birth.
Ancient One looked at the two brothers in his hall who looked completely different from each other. He couldn't help but feel a slight headache.
He didn't know why he agreed to help Odin re-educate Thor.
Look at the God of Thunder's demeanor. He was completely behaving like a Viking pirate in Europe.
He didn't look like the future king of Asgard at all. On the contrary, his younger brother, Loki, was elegantly flipping through the magic books of Kamateki.
In Ancient One's view, Loki had more of the bearing and extravagance that a superior should have, and of course, that included wisdom.
Li Jie's arrival finally interrupted Ancient One's thoughts. He stared at Li Jie for a while.
Li Jie looked a little creeped out before speaking. "Nightcrawler, I invited you here today because I need your help with something."
Huh? Ancient One needs my help with something! It can't be about protecting the earth, can it? I can't afford this kind of heavy burden now.
Li Jie thought of the conversation he had with Ancient One the last time they met. At that time, Ancient One was like an old swindler who sold the Buddha's Palm for ten dollars.
So Li Jie said without thinking. "If it's to save the earth or something, I don't think I can do it."
Li Jie's words attracted the attention of the two brothers over there. Loki put down the book in his hand and looked up at Li Jie without saying anything.
Thor glanced at Li Jie and snorted with some disdain.
Li Jie looked at the two men and felt that they were a little familiar. It seemed that he had seen such a pair of brothers before, but he didn't recognize them at once.
Ancient One listened to Li Jie's words and shook his head, indicating that he didn't ask Li Jie to do this.
He pointed to the two brothers and said. "These are the two princes of Asgard. Asgard is a divine kingdom in the sky. "
Ancient One briefly told the story of Asgard. We don't need to go into too much detail here.
And Ancient One also roughly explained the origins of the two brothers. One is the god of thunder and storms, Thor, the eldest prince of Asgard.
The other is the god of mischief and lies, Loki, the little prince of Asgard.
Li Jie patted his head. No wonder he felt that they were so familiar. It turned out to be Loki and Thor.
But Li Jie remembered that Loki seemed to be the villain, and Thor would become the avenger in the future.
And it seems that the time of Thor's descent doesn't seem to be right, and wasn't he the only one who was stripped of his divine power by Odin?
Why is Loki here now? Is there a deviation in this timeline again?
And why did these two brothers descend to the mortal world to look for me? I'm not the gods of Asgard.
"So what do you mean, Ancient One?" Li Jie didn't quite understand what Ancient One was going to do.
"Odin hopes that Thor can learn humility and tolerance in the mortal world." Ancient One explained.
"So Thor will live in the mortal world for a while as a mortal, and use the way of ordinary people to understand humility in this society."
Ancient One's words didn't mean to avoid Thor at all, which made Thor even more upset after hearing it.
But the corners of Loki's mouth rose slightly, and then he opened a magic book again and continued to read on his own.
"And Loki will be Thor's guardian during this time in the mortal world." Ancient One pointed to Loki, who was reading a book.
"So why are you looking for me?" Li Jie suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Anyway, as long as he had a bad feeling recently, it would definitely come true. It's even more sensitive than a spider's senses.
"I hope that during this time, Thor can learn how to live a normal life as a mortal and experience the joys and sorrows of the human world with you." Ancient One's smile made Li Jie feel as if he was in big trouble.
Li Jie glanced at Thor, who was sulking. He looked like he didn't want anyone to get close to him. It seems that he is not someone to be messed with.
There is also Loki, who looks harmless and is reading elegantly. Li Jie knows that this elegant man is not as easy to get along with as he looks.
Ancient One squinted and said with a smile. "Nightcrawler, I think you are a very suitable candidate, what do you think?"
I don't think it's suitable! You are throwing the blame, Ancient One!
You must be throwing the blame! Is this my retribution for throwing the blame to Hydra?
Sure enough, everyone will become a scapegoat one day!
