Gwen had a slightly agape expression.
Soon after, she reacted and looked down at the saint cloth on her body.
The unique icy blue light of Andromeda, accompanied by the shimmering of Nebula, occasionally appeared on the saint cloth she wore.
Gwen instinctively reached out and touched it.
Instantly, a cool metallic sensation came, along with a feeling of intimacy.
The moment Gwen slightly raised her arm, the necklace, which seemed to add a different color to the saint cloth, also emitted a pleasant chime.
The moment she touched the chain, there seemed to be a Nebula flowing in her expressive emerald eyes.
Gwen looked at Hawk, who was standing in front of her, smiling and watching her, and playfully blinked.
The next second, "Nebula Chain—!"
With a delicate shout, the chains wrapped around Gwen came alive as if they had a life of their own, then, obeying the command Hawk had given her to protect Gwen, the chains rose up and, to Hawk's twitching mouth, bound him.
Loop after loop, Hawk was tightly bound.
He looked down at the chains that restrained him, then looked up at Gwen, who was slyly winking at him, remained silent for a moment, and then shook his head, saying, "Gwen, I didn't give you this gift for you to bind me."
Gwen slyly blinked again, lowering her voice, and said to Hawk, "Hey, don't you quite like being tied up?"
Upon hearing this, Hawk's mouth twitched uncontrollably once more.
Indeed, women always become perverted after marriage without being taught.
Gwen was no exception.
Hawk thought to himself, and with a thought, bang!
The Andromeda Saint Cloth once again detached from Gwen's body, and the chains that had bound Hawk returned to the saint cloth, which had transformed back into a necklace pendant in the air.
Immediately after, with a flash of icy blue light, the Andromeda Saint Cloth once again became the necklace pendant hanging around Gwen's neck.
Gwen lowered her gaze, then looked up at Hawk: "Hey, I haven't had enough fun yet!"
Hawk laughed, "This is for me to protect you, not for you to play with, and its energy is limited. Don't run out when you really need it."
Gwen was a little curious.
"Can't you recharge it?"
"Yes, but the material isn't suitable."
Again, Vibranium can absorb all energy, but it cannot store energy.
So, the saint cloth he used to protect Gwen could only protect her twice at most, and Gwen had already used it once.
But it didn't matter.
Once Gwen truly used it up, he could just melt down the Andromeda Saint Cloth and reforge it.
Gwen listened to Hawk's explanation, let out an "oh," then lowered her gaze, rubbing the small Andromeda Saint Cloth pendant on her neck with her right palm, a sweet smile unconsciously gracing her lips as she looked up at Hawk.
"Hawk."
"Hmm."
"Thank you, I really like this gift."
"You're welcome."
Hawk met Gwen's gentle emerald eyes with a smile and then said, "Let's go. Since we're already here, aren't you going to take pictures?"
Gwen nodded, then looked at Hawk: "Yes, pictures. Can I take a picture wearing this outfit you gave me?"
Hawk flatly refused: "No, it's too much trouble to reforge it."
Gwen was a little disappointed, then seemed to think of something and glanced at Hawk.
"It's all your fault."
"…"
Hawk was stunned.
What kind of operation is this?
One second she's saying thank you, the next she's blaming me?
Indeed, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
However, even though she couldn't wear the Andromeda Saint Cloth for a photo again, it only affected Gwen's mood for less than ten seconds.
Because soon, Gwen became immersed in the beautiful snowy mountain scenery, and her footprints were left on almost all the snowy mountains around Kamar-Taj.
It wasn't until the Sun was about to set that the two returned to Kamar-Taj.
As the two stood in the hallway, watching the magic apprentices practicing magic in the training ground not far away, a stout and strong, serious and calm Asian man walked up to them.
Wong! He was currently the librarian of Kamar-Taj.
Wong said to Hawk, "Mr. phoenix, Mrs. phoenix, dinner is ready. The Sorcerer Supreme invites the two of you to dine."
Hawk hadn't spoken yet, but Gwen, hearing Wong's address to her, was the first to reply, "Okay, thank you."
Evidently, Gwen was very pleased with the recent address.
She looked at Wong, who had just addressed her as Mrs. phoenix: "You are…"
Wong said humorlessly, "Wong, everyone calls me that."
Gwen smiled upon hearing this and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Wong."
Wong smiled slightly, and just as he was about to turn around, he seemed to remember something and took out a slip of paper from his怀 and handed it to Gwen.
Gwen reached out and took it, slightly stunned as she saw the letters "Shamballa" written on the paper.
"This is…?"
"The Wi-Fi password for Kamar-Taj."
"Wi-Fi… password?"
Gwen, who had just had a myriad of meanings for the string of letters flash through her mind, listened to Wong's explanation and opened her mouth: "Alright, thank you."
Wong smiled again, then resumed his serious expression and turned to lead the way.
Gwen, following behind, looked at her phone, which had successfully connected to the Wi-Fi signal, and couldn't help but complain to Hawk beside her: "Isn't this a World of magic?"
Hawk shrugged: "Keeping up with the times, I guess."
After all, the Sorcerer Supreme wasn't some old-fashioned person.
This was evident from the fact that the Sorcerer Supreme could borrow power from the Dark Dimension.
After dinner, Wong once again led them to the door of a guest room.
Pushing open the door, the layout of a five-star hotel room greeted them.
A modern large bed, a modern bathtub, and once again, a strong sense of incongruity with the ancient buildings rushed over them.
But Gwen was already used to it.
At this moment, Gwen was standing by the window, looking at the snowy mountains illuminated by the moonlight not far away, and couldn't help but take out her phone again to focus on the snowy mountains under the moonlight and take a picture.
After taking the photo, Gwen turned around and smiled at Hawk: "Let's take a bath and go to sleep."
Hawk: "…"
The next day, in the early morning, Hawk glanced at Gwen, who had been as roaring as a tiger last night but was as quiet as a kitten in the morning, smiled slightly, kissed Gwen on the forehead, then got dressed, and under the guidance of a magic apprentice, arrived at the Kamar-Taj library.
Wong was already waiting at the door.
Hawk nodded in greeting.
"Good morning, Wong."
"Good morning."
Wong opened the library: "The Sorcerer Supreme is waiting for you inside."
Hawk said thank you and stepped into the library.
Upon entering, he saw bookshelves that seemed to have a life of their own, constantly moving like fish with shelves full of magic books in the huge space that completely contradicted its external appearance.
Hawk looked at a bookshelf that floated in front of him, and as he reached out to touch it, the bookshelf, like a startled fish, zipped backward.
"These magic books were either created or collected by Sorcerer Supreme of past dimensions. You are not a Sorcerer Supreme of a dimension, so these books cannot be read."
"That's a shame."
Hawk watched as the bookshelf, startled, fled, and then the Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi, still in her White robe, appeared not far away. He shrugged, then walked up to the Sorcerer Supreme: "Can I borrow the Time Stone now?"
The Sorcerer Supreme smiled peacefully without speaking, turned, and led the way.
Hawk saw this and also said nothing, following closely behind the Sorcerer Supreme as they walked forward.
Soon, as the Sorcerer Supreme raised her hand, the space in front of them changed like a shattering mirror, and then a space appeared, constructed entirely of bluestone.
The first thing that caught Hawk's eye was the wall directly facing him.
On the wall, three stone-carved heads were clearly visible.
They were the Vishanti Trinity: the all-powerful Oshtur, the all-seeing Agamotto, and the ancient Hoggoth.
Below the stone carvings was a platform.
On the platform, an ornament floated, defying gravity, on a stone display stand.
The eye of agamotto!
Speaking of which, the Ancient One didn't lead him in yesterday, perhaps because the eye of agamotto was on her at the time, so she had to put the eye of agamotto back in its original place before she could lead him in.
Hawk couldn't help but think to himself, then looked at the Sorcerer Supreme, who had walked onto the stone platform, formed a hand seal, and slowly opened the eye of agamotto.
As the Sorcerer Supreme slowly opened the eye of agamotto, which contained the Time Stone, the unique green light symbolizing the Time Stone instantly began to overflow outwards.
Soon, Hawk saw the Time Stone, completely revealed within the eye of agamotto after it was fully opened.
The Time Stone possesses the core function of manipulating time, able to accelerate, decelerate, or stop the flow of time locally or broadly, and can create time loops, and even travel through the river of time, seeing the future far more clearly and powerfully than the past.
The Sorcerer Supreme then manipulated the fully opened eye of agamotto to ascend into the air, then it descended towards Hawk's direction.
Hawk grabbed it, then looked at the eye of agamotto, which had so effortlessly come into his hand. After a moment of thought, he looked at the Sorcerer Supreme somewhat curiously: "May I ask what promise I made?"
The Sorcerer Supreme's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of imperceptible curiosity in her eyes: "What are you planning to trade with me, now?"
Hawk smiled and said, "I have an idea, but I can't fulfill the promise I want to give you right now."
The Sorcerer Supreme's expression remained calm.
"It's alright, I've already fulfilled it."
"Good… Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Hawk looked at the Sorcerer Supreme, somewhat puzzled.
The next second, the Sorcerer Supreme on the stone platform raised her hand, making a gesture of holding a flower and smiling.
Hawk's pupils contracted violently.
