Chapter 1174 Kathmandu (first update)
Kathmandu is considered to be the most prosperous city in Nepal, but the huge difference in temperature between day and night, violence against foreigners and a series of crimes caused by poverty have made this city a tourist attraction except for a few foreign tourists. The public security environment and living environment in the area are quite bad, and the quality of the water source can even cause people to suffer from diseases.The facade of Karma Taj is located on the edge of the Hindu temple complex in the southeast of Kathmandu. In addition, the mystics will go out to clean it from time to time, so the environment is still clean. The gangs formed by the local poor are also afraid of blind respect for religion. Come here to bother.

For Stephen Strange, every corner of Kathmandu was terrible, and the dust cyclones that blew up in the city during the approaching dry season filled his winter clothing, which he had to use every night when he returned to the hotel. Clean your hands hard to make sure you can wear it the next day.As for the messy hair and beard, just rinse it with water to maintain the last dignity.For several days in a row, he wandered aimlessly in the temple complex. He occasionally caught a passerby who could understand English and inquired about Karma Taj, but he found nothing. His belongings were also stolen by local children who were expecting foreign tourists to surround him Several times, if he hadn't paid for his accommodation early on, he would have been sleeping rough on his second day in Kathmandu.

Although before he came here, he had made up his mind to knock on every door in Kathmandu until he found Kama Taj, but now this situation made him more and more desperate.There is not much money left on her body, and the air ticket money from New York to Kathmandu is also Christine's last gift. If she wants to return to New York, she has to ask the embassy for help. "I don't even know if there is an American embassy here." He complained as he dragged his tired legs and walked along the abandoned religious buildings. "I'm afraid I'm going to die here."

"Why do you keep standing here?" asked Sherlock Holmes.

After he woke up, he only saw the Supreme Mage once, and then the Venerable arranged for him to be Modu as a mentor. In half a month, he hadn't seen any magic, and his daily life was either reading books or learning various things Lost text.Modu's strange behavior today made him curious. He had never seen Modu not instructing him to clean the square or wipe the tables and chairs for a day, but stood at the gate of the temple all the time, looking like he was waiting for someone.Sherlock Holmes shared the result of his observation, "The blood on your knuckles can tell if you went out to beat someone up, but you are definitely not waiting for the unlucky guy who was beaten up by you."

"Very smart, I taught a few punks a lesson." Modu said with a cold face, "I hope they can finish their work."

"You still haven't said who you're waiting for." Sherlock Holmes leaned on a broom.

His learning progress is fast, and the act of the supreme mage making him look directly at the outer dimension was regarded as a dream by him. Even if this dream caused him to have an epileptic seizure and had to lie in bed to recuperate, Sherlock Holmes still remained skeptical .Sherlock Holmes would have escaped long ago if it hadn't been for the regular files from Latvinia to track down the contraband of the cult.

It's not that he hasn't tried it, but every time he returns to his room inexplicably, and when he finds out, it's time for morning class the next day.Modu didn't care if he was running around in Kathmandu the night before in a Karma Taj robe, he would just ask Sherlock Holmes to continue with his morning tasks, and after a few times the sleep-deprived Sherlock Holmes gave up blindly Run away, because he fell asleep uncontrollably after dinner was over.

"A new apprentice." Modu replied.He opened the door and looked out a few more times, then closed one eye. "Damn it, he's gone farther and farther! Those punks didn't keep up with him at all!"

"What are you talking about?" asked Sherlock Holmes. "Are you using a drone?"

"Stupid!" Thinking that there would be two such stupid apprentices, Modu became even more angry.However, he still took a deep breath and used the scriptures and prayers he had studied for many years to stabilize his emotions.Salomon is the most powerful mystic in Karma Taj's history, but before becoming a mystic, he was also the most noisy apprentice in Karma Taj's history. Two stubborn and stupid apprentices were more than enough. "You wait here, if someone knocks on the door, you come and answer it, understand?"

"Where are you going? Why are you carrying a pistol?"

"None of your business!" Mo Du became furious.In order to avoid showing magic in front of ordinary people, a pistol is a good choice.Before he opened the door and left, he still said, "Wait here!"

Sherlock Holmes shrugged and continued to sweep the never-ending granite square with his head bowed.

The result of vague instructions was getting lost. Stephen Strange didn't know how much he had deviated from the route indicated by passers-by.To be precise, the passers-by who showed him the way did not know where his destination was. Not many people in Kathmandu had heard of Karma Taj. After all, it was just a facade that never held activities and did not welcome tourists.Stephen Strange knew that today was also a fruitless day, and he had long been mentally prepared to return empty-handed—however, after living in the wealthy district of New York for too long, Stephen Strange's subconscious had already Think that every place in the world is as safe as the rich area.Whether it is the deserted buildings that deviate from the tourist attractions, or the fewer and fewer foreign tourists, Stephen Strange has gradually penetrated into the civilian life of Kathmandu.Lack of public infrastructure, poverty, lack of education, police corruption and other reasons lead to the crime and ignorance of this place like mud in the gutter, stubbornly sticking to the city's glossy tourist area, Stephen Strange as a A foreign tourist is very noticeable, but he is not aware of it.

It wasn't until he squeezed his way through the hustle and bustle of poor people that he realized that someone was following him.

There were four people in total, one of them blocked in front of him, and the other three surrounded him, blocking the way he came.

"I have no money." Stephen Strange raised his hands helplessly, "I don't have any money."

"Watch," said the man in front of him.At least they spoke English, which made Stephen Strange somewhat inexplicably thankful, but he wished he hadn't understood this sentence.One of them had pulled out a small, battered dagger with fake plastic jewelry inlaid in the handle, the exact same so-called souvenirs from roadside vendors. "Here's the watch." The man stepped forward and repeated, "Give it to me!"

"No, please, this watch is all I have left."

But these punks didn't care about his pleading, Stephen Strange could only reach out to his wrist, as if he was about to take off his watch.However, at this moment, a certain uncontrollable emotion rushed to his throat from the bottom of his heart. The despair he had encountered in New York before, the confusion he had encountered in Kathmandu, and the gloomy future all screamed in his throat, urging him to resist.Anger fell from the sky, Stephen Strange chose to obey, he would not be stupid to say that song tourist was robbed in a dark alley, just when the little gangster reached out to take the watch hanging on his finger, Stephen Strange punched the man in the face.

Not only did this punch have no effect, but his hand also hurt badly, and the phalanges that were barely fixed together immediately staggered, and the pain that rushed to his brain instantly made him unable to care about anything else.The little gangster who got slapped returned angrily and kicked Stephen Strange in the stomach who was lying on the ground because of the uncontrollable pain. Other gangsters also surrounded him and took away He picked up the watch that fell aside, then surrounded him and punched and kicked him, one of them even kicked him on the chin.

Until the man in the black and green hooded cloak appeared, he dodged all the attacks as in the movie, and smashed his fists and elbows on the gangster's skinny body during the fight.At that moment, Stephen Strange, who was lying on the ground and was severely beaten, was shocked far more than any moment in his past barren and boring life. The little gangsters who robbed him fell to the ground one after another, wailing endlessly.

The man picked up something from the ground and stood in front of Stephen Strange, he could only see the man's shoe upper.Immediately his sight began to rise, and the man lifted him up with his irresistible force. "You're looking for Karma Taj?" the man asked in an accent he couldn't make out. "Is that so?"

　Ask for a ticket!
