Chapter 213: Chapter: 213
Taking the fastest flight and after a long nap, Mark arrived at his destination - Kathmandu.
"The speed was quite fast, but this airline is really stingy. Even though I booked a first-class ticket, they couldn't even provide me with a fresh cheeseburger. And those flight attendants - well, I should say they're more like middle-aged ladies. They look like they have at least 30 years of experience. I thought there would at least be a charming young lady in the first class..."
As soon as he got off the plane, Mark didn't seem very happy despite successfully reaching his destination. Instead, he started criticizing his own flight journey without hesitation.
"Master, you could have chosen to travel by private plane," Baymax suggested.
"Of course, if I haven't learned that dazzling and mesmerizing spell by the time I go back, I will arrange it that way. But you know, Baymax, if I suddenly apply for a private transnational flight, even if I'm very wealthy and have strong connections, going through the whole procedure would still take almost a day. I can't accept waiting that long."
"When it comes down to it, I'm just too honest. I should be like my old man, disregard everything and just activate the system and fly here myself..."
"You wouldn't do that, Master. You have never violated the law in non-emergency situations. My database has detailed records of that."
"Well, Baymax, you really understand me the best. But next time, don't bother recording these irrelevant things. Even though I upgraded your storage space and you can't possibly use it all."
Kathmandu Airport was already quite small, and the whole city wasn't big either. After arriving in the city center, the low-rise buildings on the streets made the whole city appear crowded and chaotic.
But for some travel enthusiasts, this is the charm of Kathmandu, everything has a unique atmosphere that belongs only to this place.
Although it was his first time here, Mark didn't wander around like Stephen Strange in the original plot, asking for directions aimlessly.
Nanobots had already performed a holographic scan of the entire city, and an accurate and three-dimensional map was now displayed in front of Mark.
However, knowing the roads wasn't enough; he still needed a direction to find his final destination. For that, Mark had to rely on his own perception to find it.
And that's what the Ancient One referred to as a little test. The Kamar-Taj had stood atop the Himalayas for over five hundred years, yet it remained undiscovered by ordinary people, indicating that it was protected by magic.
It's similar to the Leaky Cauldron in "Harry Potter," enchanted to make all non-magical people subconsciously ignore or forget about its existence.
However, the magic of Kamar-Taj is undoubtedly more powerful. Even though the area was scanned by four satellites in space, Mark couldn't find any trace of Kamar-Taj in the image data. Obviously, what the Ancient One did went beyond simply influencing people's consciousness; it even made the entire Kamar-Taj invisible physically.
But this is also where Mark's opportunity lies. Although ordinary people without magical factors cannot perceive the existence of Kamar-Taj, in Mark's perception, the immense magical array surrounding Kamar-Taj emits an unmistakable magical fluctuation, even if it's very small.
Mark followed his perception completely, shuttling through the quaint streets of Kathmandu, constantly getting closer to his destination, Kamar-Taj.
"I'm almost at my destination. You've been following me all this way and if don't come out now, you won't have a chance!"
Just after entering a rarely traveled narrow alley, Mark was about to reach the entrance of Kamar-Taj in Kathmandu, but he suddenly stopped and shouted loudly in the empty alley.
Sure enough, after Mark finished speaking, a few young locals emerged from who knows where and surrounded Mark.
"Kid, if you want to ensure your safe departure from Kathmandu and return to your warm and comfortable home, it would be best not to shout and scream now, but obediently hand over your valuable belongings."
Among the people surrounding Mark, a leader stepped forward, brandishing a shining blade and directly threatening Mark.
However, Mark certainly wouldn't be intimidated by these few individuals. He had seen the Chitauri, and he had also seen the Dark Elves. These few ordinary Earthlings, who thought they were fierce and intimidating, were not capable of making Mark feel afraid.
"Do you know why I know that you've been following me and yet still walked into this empty alley?" Mark locked eyes with the leader, his expression full of disdain as he asked.
But before these people could react, Mark spoke again, answering his own question. "It's because of the existence of people like you that tarnish the reputation of this city, making life so difficult for those law-abiding, hardworking, and kind-hearted individuals."
"As a city that relies heavily on tourism for its economic support, do you know how much loss and disaster it brings to your fellow countrymen when there's a decrease in tourists?
Clearly, you have hands and feet but don't do legitimate work, only thinking about these crooked and twisted paths. That's why I lured you here—today, I will make sure you leave with a profound lesson..."
