During Those Years When I Was A Marvel Superhero Chapter 29: Baron Mordo
For Strange, what Lan said was undoubtedly a star in the dark. Light up a little light in his gray life.
As he himself said, he can no longer accept his days like taking drugs to keep his hair. After eating Li Jie's spaghetti bolognese, Strange set off for London.
London Temple, although he has n’t been, he has heard of it. Although Thor threw cold water before he took it away, he said, "Maybe that Baron Mordo was actually wearing a wig."
But Strange still regards what Thor said as fart. There can be so many coincidences in this world? He didn't believe it anyway.
For Strange, what aliens are coming, what political reforms, all this has nothing to do with him. What is more important in this world than keeping your beautiful hair? No!
He knows Baron Mordo. He is the oldest disciple of Guyi. Besides the king, he is the one who has followed Guyi for the longest time.
Baron Mordo was born in a noble family in Europe and has a hereditary noble title. The title of his baron is the hereditary title of his family.
Baron Mordo is a serious white European, or a slightly arrogant white European noble. He has a very good talent for magic, and he was chosen as an introductory disciple when he was a boy.
As a big disciple, Baron Mordo should be the person closest to Gu Yi. It's like stickman and rock (Brother Daredevil)-Matt (Brother Daredevil)-David (King Haibian). Because in the traditional Asian relationship graph, the relationship between master and apprentice is an important relationship second only to the blood of parents.
However, with the gradual growth of Baron Mordo's age, his relationship with Gu Yi gradually became rusty, and there was no such close relationship as father and son. This is just the opposite of Lan. Although the relationship between Lan and Gu Yi is a master-disciple, it is essentially like a father and a daughter.
Finally, Baron Mordo was sent by Gu Yi to Kamar-Taj and went to London to manage the London Temple. It can also be considered Modu's hometown. In this way, it seems that Gu Yi still takes care of Baron Mordo very much.
But everyone's thinking is different, and some people seem to take care of it. But in the eyes of the parties, it may be an exile.
"The master kicked me out of the core circle." This is Baron Mordo's self-talk in the London temple shrine.
He and Guyi are different in many places. Guyi was born 500 years ago as a farmer's child. After he grew up, he also had a hard time learning to learn spells.
Gu Yi's ability is very strong, but he basically doesn't pursue material enjoyment. As can be seen from the food of Kamar-Taj, simple dishes like white boiled yak meat are daily diet. Herder's crude brew and even slightly turbid barley wine is Guyi's daily drink.
Modu, who was born in a noble family, is actually very difficult to accept all this. He has been used to eating clothes since he was a child, and he had a hard time following Gu Yi to learn spells in his youth.
However, after the magic, Modu will find ways to improve his life. From food to utensils will improve.
Most of the daily tableware used in Kamar-Taj are wooden tableware and black pottery tableware that are common in pastoral areas.
However, Baron Mordo uses a complete set of sterling silver tableware and a set of beautiful crystal cups, which are carefully carved from the plate to the cup.
The food you eat is more about Modu. What kind of steak do you need the red wine produced in a certain year. What kind of drinks are suitable for caviar in the afternoon and so on.
Modu's pursuit grew from his bones. He is a hereditary aristocracy, and the family has passed on these traditions and ancestral etiquette for nearly a thousand years.
Gu Yi did not like Modu, because he felt that excessive pursuit of external material would make people lose their pursuit of magic.
But these things are just subsections, not a matter of principle. After all, everyone has everyone's living methods. Gu Yi can't demand that Modu be as happy as himself.
But when Modu showed more and more that he liked things on the material level, Gu Yi made a decision to let him go to London. Since then, Modu was transferred out of Kamar-Taj.
It's like being an official in ancient times to be a Beijing official, because only a Beijing official has more opportunities to be holy. Only when you are impressed in front of the Holy One can you climb higher.
Modu was sent to the Temple Master in the London Temple. Gu Yi gave him freedom and let him go the days he wanted. But it is also equivalent to kicking Modu out of the core competition.
What is the competition? Do n’t forget that Gu Yi ’s biggest legacy can be the status of Sorcerer Surpreme, and Gu Yi ’s initiation of the next Sorcerer Surpreme before leaving office.
Initiation is not like passing an internal force to someone in a martial arts, and then turning the rookie into a master. Instead, in a special way, Gu Yi passed on his life-long knowledge to the next mage.
How much you can master depends on your talents, but the magical accomplishments and various unique understandings accumulated over the centuries are a huge treasure that cannot be added.
This is a very tempting thing, but now it has nothing to do with Modu. Because he was kicked out of Kamar-Taj and worked as a temple mage in London.
He does n’t really like this, because London has the Greenwich school left by Master Merlin. The Greenwich faction and Kamar-Taj faction have a little conflict in concept.
Among the three magi temples, the London temple is the most difficult to manage. It is necessary to balance the relationship between Greenwich and Kamar-Taj, as well as to protect the majesty of Merlin ’s Underground Palace, and also to do what every temple has to do, that is to maintain the stability of the earth ’s space and prevent the invasion of different degrees.
Modu was actually not very happy, especially since he now knows that Gu Yi actually accepted two new apprentices. One is the famous Doctor Doom Dum, and there is an unknown Strange.
There was still a little hope in Modu's heart. He also fancied that he could inherit Gu Yi's mantle one day ~ IndoMTL.com ~ because Gu Yi said long ago that he would not put the position of Sorcerer Surpreme Give it to Lan.
In addition to Lan, Gu Yi has only one apprentice. Then when Gu Yi is about to resign, his status must still be passed on to himself.
But now the two newly-appointed students have broken the last illusion in Modu's heart.
In the practice center, Modu felt that his meditation was not very good. He couldn't calm down, and he always felt that something had to happen.
Walking out of the practice, he was ready to relax with a drink. At this time, a news came through: "The fourth disciple of Sorcerer Ancient One, and the youngest disciple, Stephen Strange, requested to be received."
PS: In the Marvel comics, Modo is white and was born of a traditional nobleman. Marvel movies were forcibly changed to blacks for political correctness. The movie doesn't matter, but if the book still follows the movie's settings, then it will weaken a lot of storytelling.
I ca n’t always write that a black man is a hereditary nobleman in Europe. But if it were not hereditary nobility, the value conflict between Modu and Guyi would not arise. So let's forget the movie, and go according to my settings.
