Chapter 1041: Shock
Lin Rui couldnāt help but be concerned about what Thor said regarding Lokiās return from the frontline battlefield. After all, a few months ago, when Loki came to Earth, he had a one-on-one conversation with Lin Rui.
At that time, Loki threatened Lin Rui, asking him to leave Thor on Earth. However, Lin Rui clearly didnāt do as Loki demanded. In the face of Lokiās threats and Thorās growth, Lin Rui obviously chose the latter.
And now, Thor had managed to overcome the exile penalty imposed on him by Odin, through his own efforts. He could now call Heimdall and go back to Asgard at any time he wants.
It could be said that Lokiās plans, whether it was an intentional attempt to stop Thor from returning to Asgard or a mischievous act, had all failed and Lin Ruiās role in Thorās growth couldnāt be ignored.
So, if Loki had such a narrow-minded view, perhaps he would come to Earth and cause trouble for Lin Rui. However, a few months ago, Lin Rui was just a very weak Vigilante, but now he had grown a lot.
Previously, he couldnāt even lift his head under Lokiās magical energy suppression, but now Lin Rui had the confidence to face Loki head-on.
āHmph! So what if heās back? Iām not afraid of him!ā After thinking for a moment, Lin Rui said with an indifferent expression on his face.
āHehe, thatās right. At most, itāll be some mischief that wonāt kill anyone!ā Thor chuckled in response to Lin Ruiās words.
Lin Rui: āā¦ā

While Lin Rui returned to New York to continue his life as Mirage Knight, Bucky started a new life in Wakanda, and the Dark Elves left the Nine Realms and headed for the boundless universe.
Earth and the universe continued to move forward under the currents of the world, with certain events destined to happen slowly approaching reality.
In New York, Greenwich Village, at the central location of this neighborhood, the New York Sanctum stood.
Ever since Jack was recommended by David and Rick to participate in the selection of the Sorcerer Supreme in the Himalayas, this Sanctum had remained tightly closed, rarely opening its doors for anybody.
On this day, a young man arrived at the entrance of this quaint-styled building. Although countless people usually passed by the entrance of the Sanctum, it was evident that this young manās destination was none other than this Sanctum.
Thud, Thud, Thud~
After stopping to observe the exterior of the building at the entrance, the young man took a few steps forward and knocked on the door. This person standing at the entrance of the New York Sanctum was none other than Lin Rui, who intended to go to the Himalayas.
Although Lin Rui had been to the Himalayas, it was not on his own accord. Lin Rui could certainly go to the Himalayas himself, but he might not be able to find the exact location he had visited before.
Therefore, in order to successfully reach his destination and maintain courtesy, Lin Rui decided to come and seek the help of the Sorcerers guarding the New York Sanctum. After all, they were no longer strangers.
āHmm? Is nobody here?ā After a few knocks, the closed doors remained motionless, prompting Lin Rui to mutter to himself.
As one of the three major Sanctum of Earth, the New York Sanctum couldnāt be without the protection of Sorcerers.
Especially now, when most of the sorcerers had gathered in the Himalayas, these three Sanctums needed more manpower to guard them, as rebels were likely to take advantage of this opportunity to disrupt the Sanctums.
Thud, thud, thud~
Not giving up, Lin Rui continued knocking on the door, each time with more force. As Lin Rui knocked on the door, people passing by the Sanctum glanced at him curiously. In their eyes, this seemingly ancient building was not open to the public.
Click~
Just as Lin Rui persisted in knocking on the door, the tightly closed door suddenly made a sound and opened a crack.
āAh! Itās open!ā When the door cracked open, Lin Rui instantly stopped knocking.
However, the door only opened a small crack, and there was no one inside. Lin Rui leaned forward and looked inside through the gap but didnāt see anything.
Then, without hesitation, Lin Rui reached out and pushed the door open, walking inside.
Click~
After Lin Rui entered the hall, the door behind him quietly closed again, as if controlled by an automatic mechanism.
Inside the hall, Lin Rui looked around, taking in the surroundings. Although he already knew the location of the New York Sanctum, it was his first time actually coming here.
The interior of the hall appeared similar to other buildings when observed with the naked eye, with the only difference being the retro design and some antique items displayed around.
āMirage Knight.ā As Lin Rui walked around the center of the hall, a voice echoed.
Then, Lin Rui saw someone appear on the stairs leading to the second floor of the hall. This person was none other than Rick, one of the sorcerers responsible for guarding the New York Sanctum.
āHello, Rick,ā Lin Rui greeted him with a smile upon seeing him.
Tap, tap, tap~
āWell, what brings you here? Jack went to participate in some activities and I believe he stays in touch with you, so thereās no need to worry,ā Rick asked as he slowly sat down on the stairs, explaining Jackās situation.
āI know what Jack is doing, and Iām not worried about him. However, I did come here this time with something important, something related to Sorcerers,ā Lin Rui said as he retracted his relaxed expression.
āWhat is it?ā Seeing Lin Ruiās gradually serious expression, Rick inquired.
Rick and the others had long known about Lin Ruiās identity. They also knew that there seemed to be some unclear connection between this Mirage Knight and the Ancient One.
Thatās why they helped Lin Rui time and time again. Now, when Lin Rui mentioned something related to the Sorcerers, Rick naturally took it seriously.
āItāsā¦ about the betrayers within the Sorcerers.ā Lin Rui looked into Rickās eyes and spoke with a serious expression on his face.
Whoosh!
In the next moment after Lin Rui uttered those words, a powerful surge of magical energy suddenly swept through the entire hall! To their surprise, it originated from Rick himself!
āWhat did you say?!ā The look in Rickās eyes turned sharp as he was seemingly unable to believe what Lin Rui had just said and he asked in a cold tone.
