Chen Yu only studied magic at Kamar-Taj for five days, and after learning how to open a Dimension Door and the Raggadorr Rings, he asked Wong to take him to New York.
After all, he would only be in this world for fourteen days; once the fourteen days passed, Hogwarts would start.
Chen Yu didn't want to miss the upcoming plot; he had been coveting the dragon egg Hagrid was about to acquire for a long time.
Instead of entrusting it to Charlie, who was far away in Romania, it would be better for him to keep it in his Serenitea Pot.
His Serenitea Pot was actually quite large, more than enough to hold a Norwegian Ridgeback.
Moreover, since he had learned the magic to open a Dimension Door, returning to Kamar-Taj was not a trivial matter.
Unfortunately, he had never been to New York, so he couldn't open a portal to New York to find Tony Stark.
Hearing that Chen Yu was going to New York, Wong was a little surprised but agreed.
the Ancient One had not restricted Chen Yu to stay at Kamar-Taj; it was Chen Yu's freedom to go wherever he wanted.
Wong and Chen Yu arrived at the New York Sanctum Sanctorum via Kamar-Taj's teleportation array.
The New York Sanctum Sanctorum is located at 177 Bleecker Street in Manhattan.
It is a Victorian-style brownstone townhouse with French Baroque architectural design and a mansard roof.
The interior space of the Sanctum Sanctorum seemed more spacious than it appeared from the outside, indicating that Kamar-Taj also had magic similar to the Undetectable Extension Charm to expand space.
Its internal corridors could rival those of Hogwarts Castle, and newcomers could easily get lost inside.
Chen Yu saw various magical items and furniture of different sizes displayed along the corridor.
He saw more than ten sorcerers disappear through the Sanctum Sanctorum's teleportation array.
A moment later, he saw more than a dozen sorcerers teleport in.
It seemed that the Sanctum Sanctorum had become a transportation hub for sorcerers, traveling to various parts of the world through it.
The constant coming and going of sorcerers added a lot of vitality to this mysterious Sanctum Sanctorum.
Wong introduced to Chen Yu, "Beneath the foundation of the Sanctum Sanctorum, there is a magical neural center similar to a dragon's pulse, which runs through the entire Earth. There are two other such dragon's pulse nodes on Earth, located in London and Hong Kong. We established the three Sanctum Sanctorums at these nodes, using their power to create a dimensional spell array capable of monitoring the entire Earth, preventing creatures from other dimensions from invading Earth. The three Sanctum Sanctorums have made indelible contributions to guarding our magical world and maintaining order on Earth."
Wong pointed at the sorcerers rushing away and said, "Those sorcerers rushing off are likely going to eliminate dimensional invaders. Their enemies are mostly imps from the Hell Dimension. After these imps enter Earth, their power is greatly weakened by the spell array, and they can usually only maintain a spiritual form to possess others."
Chen Yu saw a sorcerer dressed as a priest run past him in a hurry.
"To make it easier for the victims' relatives to understand, we sometimes play the role of priests, helping them exorcise or seal the demons within them in the name of exorcism."
Chen Yu was a little curious: "Why exorcise or seal? Can't you just kill them directly?"
Wong replied, "The essence of these demons comes from the Hell Dimension. As long as the Hell Dimension does not collapse, they cannot be completely killed by us. Even if they are killed on Earth, these weak imps will quickly respawn in the Hell Dimension. However, for demons that can maintain a physical form after coming to Earth, we choose to eliminate them. The stronger they are, the longer it takes for them to respawn. Moreover, demons that respawn in the Hell Dimension enter a period of weakness, and I believe the enemies of these demons will not miss this excellent opportunity. After all, the Hell Dimension is not a benevolent place."
"Of course, when facing more powerful demons or dimensional invaders that we cannot contend with, we will ask the Ancient One to intervene."
Chen Yu followed Wong out of the Sanctum Sanctorum.
"Our current enemies are mostly demons from the Hell Dimension, who are subordinates of the Hell Lord Mephisto, specializing in seducing human souls. There are also some sorcerers who have fallen to the Dark Dimension; they are subordinates of Dormammu, specifically opposing us at Kamar-Taj. Dormammu has invaded Earth several times, full of ambition, and each time he was repelled by the Ancient One. As long as the Ancient One is here, Dormammu dares not invade Earth! He can only send some fallen sorcerers to harass the three Sanctum Sanctorums..."
Wong spoke with full confidence, as if with the Ancient One present, everything would be fine, and there would be no need to worry about Earth being threatened by other dimensional invaders.
Chen Yu watched Wong desperately planting flags on the Ancient One and found it hard to say anything.
After all, who would have thought that the Ancient One, a Heavenly Father-level powerhouse in the future, would comically fall to her death from a building?
You don't even let go of the sea like that; where would all the dimensional demon gods eliminated by the Ancient One put their faces?
"Chen Yu, I estimate you probably don't have the currency of this country. You should know that without money, you can't move an inch anywhere. Take this money for now; consider it a small token of my regard. I hope you enjoy your time in New York."
Wong opened a Dimension Door, preparing to return to Kamar-Taj. Before leaving, Wong handed Chen Yu a dozen green bills, each a 100-dollar note.
Chen Yu took the dollars Wong gave him, pulled out a regular flying broom from his Serenitea Pot that he had bought in Diagon Alley last night, and handed it to Wong.
"It's only polite to reciprocate. This is for you, also a small token of my regard."
Wong was very surprised to see the flying broom Chen Yu took out. Although it couldn't compare to the one he first tried, it was still a rare magical item, and he was quite touched.
Taking the flying broom from Chen Yu's hand, Wong waved to Chen Yu and disappeared behind the Dimension Door.
Seeing Wong leave, Chen Yu immediately prepared to go find Tony Stark.
Although Chen Yu didn't know where Tony was now, or where Stark Tower was.
But the taxi drivers in New York would surely know the way to Stark Tower.
He hailed a taxi by the roadside and got in.
"Hello, young customer, where are you headed?"
"Stark Tower."
"Alright, please fasten your seatbelt, we'll be there soon."
The taxi driver was a talkative, bearded black man.
"Young customer, you're going to Stark Tower? Do you have family working there?"
"Stark Industries has been quite lively lately. I heard on the news that Tony Stark, the owner of Stark Industries, went missing in the Middle East for two or three months, was rescued, and barely escaped with his life. When he returned, he also suffered from PTSD and announced at a press conference that he would shut down Stark Industries' weapons division. Now, because of Tony Stark's statement, Stark Industries' stock price has plummeted."
The taxi driver spoke about the predicament Stark Industries was currently facing while driving.
"There are also rumors that Stark Industries is about to go bankrupt. If you ask me, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if Stark Industries' stock price is constantly falling, I haven't seen anyone selling their Stark Industries shares. Moreover, the Daily Bugle recently reported that Tony Stark is hosting a pool party at his luxurious villa, inviting the cover girls from the latest issues of Maxim magazine as guests. Everyone understands, the lives of rich people are truly enviable..."
Tony Stark actually still had the mind to throw a pool party. It seemed that Dr. Yinsen had not died, and Tony had not fully realized the burden of responsibility. He was still a playboy, or perhaps a slightly more mature playboy?
Chen Yu didn't respond but instead pondered whether Tony's current changes would affect the upcoming plot.
The black taxi driver continued to chatter incessantly until Chen Yu saw the Stark Tower sign.
Only then did he state the shocking fare in a brief sentence.
"That'll be 100 dollars."
"Huh? How much is the fare?!"
