"What?" Dum felt as if there was something wrong with his ears. Was it because his eardrums were damaged when he was practicing the explosion spell yesterday? The guy standing in front of him was Nightcrawler.
Didn't he come as a superhero? When Eastern Europe was in turmoil, this guy jumped out with a group of people to stop him in order to quell the war. At that time, he thought this guy was a guy with an excessive sense of justice.
And now, what was he saying sitting in front of him? Joining a secret organization and then secretly controlling the world?
"Was your brain damaged by someone? Or are you actually a fake Nightcrawler? "Dum had reason to raise such doubts. He was even ready to send a message to Ancient One, saying that Nightcrawler was being controlled or something.
Dum knew that Ancient One valued Li Jie very much. Maybe Li Jie was Kamateki's son-in-law. After all, it was rumored that the relationship between Ancient One's adopted daughter and Nightcrawler was extraordinary.
If he went to report it, maybe he could get into a good impression? Dum had already made up his mind to be the next Sorcerer Supreme, and he now had a competitor, Dr. Strange, who was in Nightcrawler's house.
With Dum's character, any possible danger should be suppressed to the minimum. Anything that could get into a good impression must be done to the best of his ability.
Dum's uncooperative attitude was a little beyond Li Jie's expectations. He said with some surprise, "Don't you like this excuse? I thought as a villain, this excuse would make you excited. "
"To hell with it. How retarded would a person be excited by this excuse? And when am I a villain? I have a clear conscience for everything I've done in this world! Even if it's war, I feel that what I've done is reasonable, not to mention that I've never started a foreign war! (The war in Eastern Europe started with the P5) "Dum looked at Li Jie and said in a surprised tone.
Li Jie wasn't sure if Dum's surprise came from his real thoughts or if he was pretending.
"Okay, okay. I thought you'd like that. Then, we will secretly control the world together and become the mastermind behind the entire world. I thought you would get excited and beg me to let you join this mysterious organization. "
Lord Dum snorted disdainfully at Li Jie's words. He snorted disdainfully, "Dream on! I've never begged anyone for anything! And I don't care about the things you care about! "
"Is that so? Don't you care about the competition between you and Strange for the position of Sorcerer Supreme? "Li Jie asked.
Dum was speechless.
"Humph! It's impossible for me to lose to this kind of trash, although I admit that he does have some guts. " Dum vaguely remembered Strange's demeanor of a general who would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Dum admired Strange for this.
Especially after spending some time with Strange and learning magic together, Strange's progress was very fast. So, although Dum didn't want to admit it, Strange was indeed talented and courageous (Strange: It's not what you think).
Li Jie followed Dum's words and said, "Yes, yes. He's not as good as you, but at least you shouldn't be troubled by hair loss. "
"Hair loss?" Dum was a little confused.
"Don't tell me you didn't drink the energy water?" Li Jie looked at Dum in surprise, "It's a potion that can enhance a mage's mana activity and increase mental agility. This thing is good for everything, the only side effect is hair loss. Strange is already drinking this thing, but in order to protect his hair, he used all his savings to stock up on Dawn 101 Hair Regrowth Potion. He uses a bottle almost every three days, and only this frequency can protect his hair. "
"I guess you probably don't need to use this kind of seemingly cheating method, right? Although I heard from Lan that most male mages in Kamateki need to drink this kind of drink, "Li Jie said innocently.
Dum's face twitched, and then he realized one thing: No wonder so many male mages in Kamateki were bald, even the king was bald. He thought it was more convenient to be bald in magic, so this was the answer to the mystery!
The secret that had troubled Dum for a long time was finally revealed by Li Jie. But what was depressing was that no one had given him such a good thing. Perhaps it was because Dum didn't like to communicate with others and was a bit cold?
Perhaps communicating with others was also part of the test to become a Supreme Mage? Although Strange wasn't as good as him (Dum thought), he was better at communicating with others. After all, he was a former world-famous doctor, and had a good way of dealing with people.
"Actually, I think you're more suitable to be a Supreme Mage than Strange, really." Li Jie said with great sincerity (at least on the surface), "You look more dignified, at least you won't be troubled by losing your hair every day. Look, which mage in Kamateki will be troubled by hair loss? I guess a mage who can't be bald can't become a Supreme! "
"But at the same time, I also think you need a little help." Li Jie's words almost made Dum laugh in anger.
Dum asked with a cold face, "What help?"
"Image!" Li Jie pointed at Dum's iron mask, "Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I know something about you. Dr. Reed on the Moon was your classmate in college. He once told me about you. During a chemistry experiment in college, because of an accident, your face was burned and your face was ruined. "
Dum's tone became even colder, "So what?"
Li Jie sighed, "I just feel that it's a bit of a pity. It's not that I'm helpless against you, although there's an old saying that goes, 'Who says that a hero (hero) must be handsome!'. But a handsome hero is always more attractive. If you become a Supreme Mage, are you still going to wear an iron mask? That's a position where you have dealings with the demon gods, do you want the demon gods to laugh at you for hiding your head and showing your tail? To be honest, I've looked at old photos of you in university, you're actually very handsome, Dum! "
Dum felt that he was almost unable to suppress his anger, "What I look like is my business! It has nothing to do with you! "
"Calm down, calm down! Look, I'm here to discuss cooperation with you. We weren't just talking about whether you want to try joining our secret organization and become the Black Hand of the World or something. Although you can't become an official member right away, we'll give you benefits even if you're just an intern. "Li Jie continued to tempt him.
"For example, a newly developed potion that might be able to restore your original appearance? When the time comes, you can wear the iron mask if you want to, and throw it away if you don't. Isn't it good to become a handsome man again? "
Dum had never been someone who cared about his appearance. He had been disfigured for so many years, but he had never cared about it.
But today, it was as if he was possessed by the gods. For the first time, he said, "What's the price?"
