"Fortunately," Doctor Strange finally breathed a sigh of relief after some investigation. Fortunately, those two hadn't damaged the Sanctuary's magical barrier; it seemed they didn't want to share Earth with the dimensional demons.
At this moment, Rune pulled out a tattered cloak from his pocket, though it was still generally recognizable as a cloak.
"Since I saved your life, let's make two deals," Rune said with a smile.
The first deal was naturally to exchange this life-saving favor for Doctor Strange's help in repairing the Levitation Cloak. The Levitation Cloak's ability to transform into various clothes at will was too convenient, and Rune couldn't bear to let it remain in such a damaged state.
The second deal was naturally that Rune would exchange Hogwarts' magic system for Doctor Strange's magical knowledge.
"Actually, you can come and learn anytime you want." Strange was also somewhat worried about Rune's identity as a dark mage.
However, considering that the person was introduced by Iron Man and also had the levitation cloak, he ultimately agreed to Rune's deal: "Karmar-Taj welcomes mages from all over the world to exchange ideas at any time, without any additional compensation."
At this point, Strange yawned; the prolonged mental torment was almost unbearable even for the energetic Sorcerer Supreme.
"Personally, I believe in giving a little and leaving a little for friends," Lu En replied. He didn't elaborate on one more point: the debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay.
In the Marvel or DC universe, even someone as powerful as Galactus can be reduced to a mere unit of combat power in the editors' writing. So while enhancing one's own strength is certainly very useful, maintaining good relationships with other heroes is also extremely important.
The former guarantees you won't die in the aftermath of a battle between strong opponents, while the latter ensures your survival even under unforeseen circumstances such as editing.
Harley Quinn from DC Comics is a prime example. She has great relationships with many heroes and villains, which allows her to live happily in Gotham City as an ordinary human.
Doctor Strange was fine with it, but the most important thing now was to get to Avengers Tower. On the way, Rune also talked with Doctor Strange about the X-Men and Wakanda keeping silent.
"I feel—" Doctor Strange frowned as he flew, "that my archenemies are a little different this time—"
"What's different?"
Doctor Strange shook his head: "I feel like they're much more perceptive, able to spot my flaws, and almost like they can foresee the future."
He looked at Rune: "They arrived at the exact time I was most vulnerable. I was suffering the consequences of my spell, the King was in the London Sanctuary, and I haven't been able to contact Clyde recently. Otherwise, Casillas, Baron Mordo, and the Hand alone wouldn't have been able to capture me at all—"
Rune believed this point. Although Kaecilius and Baron Mordo were Strange's senior brothers, their strength was far inferior to Doctor Strange's. Even without the Eye of Agamotto, Kaecilius and Baron Mordo would never be a match for Doctor Strange.
"Wait a minute!" Doctor Strange's eyes widened. "Could it be that our arch-enemies have teamed up?"
"And they even mentioned the Red Skull at the end—" Rune narrowed his eyes. Everything in front of him seemed so familiar; he felt like he had heard similar stories before.
