Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 288

Duran poured himself a glass of wine and handed it to Luo Chen.

"This story is a bit long. Would you like some unicorn eyeball liquor?"

Upon hearing this name, Luo Chen lost all urge to pick up his glass and drink.

Seeing that Luo Chen didn't need to drink, he took a small sip.

"This is the wine that the people of Morning Breeze like the most. It would be a shame if you didn't take a look."

The chief mage continued, "If you look closely, you'll find in the library that during a magical experiment, he revealed a method for this world to communicate with other worlds! For a time, we all thought this was the future of this world, but we were all wrong. Dragons returned to this world at that time. I heard you are a dragonborn, is that right?"

Luo Chen nodded, and the chief mage continued, "The world is in your hands, Dragonborn. If I were you, I would choose candy when I see him!"

After saying this, the chief mage stood up and walked towards his bed, clearly intending to end the conversation.

"By the way, if you want to know Duran's whereabouts, perhaps Zardif can help you!"

The chief mage seemed extremely tired and lay down on the bed, falling asleep immediately. Luo Chen turned around and left the chief mage's room. Now that the snow had stopped, Zardif returned to the academy.

"Hey, dear Luo Chen, why are you only coming back now?"

Luo Chen smiled awkwardly: "I was just about to come and find you, I didn't expect to run into you here!"

"There's no such thing as a coincidence! I came here specifically to find you!"

Chapter 235 Prophet Duran

Unexpectedly, the two of them happened to have something to ask each other.

Luo Chen displayed the manners expected of a gentleman: "Professor Zardif, why don't you go first?"

“Last time you secretly asked Master Ulag about the Elder Scrolls, and he has figured it out. He told you to go to the library to find him when you have time!”

Luo Chen replied with a thank you, and Zardif asked Luo Chen, "You came to me to ask about fortune tellers, right?"

Luo Chen hummed in agreement. Zardif said, "No one knows the answer. You have to find it yourself. What we do know is that Duran conducted his last experiment and then disappeared from this world. But since then, people have often said that the cries of vengeful spirits have been heard from underground. I guess Duran is underground."

After their conversation, Luo Chen asked, "How can we get to the area beneath this surface?"

"Go down from the shell mound, and only by reaching the underground will you know the truth. The entrance is next to the Hall of Achievements!"

Luo Chen nodded, ran over, opened the drainage plank, and jumped in.

A strong stench emanated from inside, and Luo Chen covered his nose to let the stench escape from his body.

But things didn't get better; on the contrary, the stench got closer and closer. He punched the puddle beneath him, and just then, a cockroach the size of a toad jumped up.

Why are all the small animals in this world so big? Rats are like this, cockroaches are like this too.

Even though these things were disgusting, Luo Chen endured it and kept punching the cockroach in front of him. Finally, the cockroach was knocked to the ground by Luo Chen's punch, and the green liquid flowing from its body spread into the river water that reached half of Luo Chen's body.

Fortunately, there were no rugged paths here, and Luo Chen quickly followed the flow of the river to the end of the cave. Something seemed to be calling to him, so he went inside.

The river seems to be stopped by a natural barrier here, and it keeps turning.

However, the environment here is very different from the environment we just encountered.

Just like outside, it was incredibly cold here. The water had already soaked Luo Chen's body, so when the cold wind blew through, Luo Chen's entire body began to freeze.

This was the first time something like this had happened to Luo Chen, and at that moment, nothing was better than a set of warm clothes.

The two men walked up to Luo Chen. The two thieves were initially surprised by this unfamiliar visitor, but their excitement turned into surprise.

"Great, finally some prey has come to my door. The one before was a high-level mage, this one is just a junior mage, so you can make it up to me!"

The two men laughed as they took out their side knives.

Luo Chen smiled calmly: "The one who should be saying thank you is me!"

The two exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that they were idiots, and then rushed towards Luo Chen. Luo Chen kicked one of them in the body and snatched the knife from his hand. Before the other could make a move, he slashed it across his neck.

After they both fell to the ground at the same time, Luo Chen immediately took off their clothes, threw aside his own clothes which had been stained by the dirty river water, and put on a new outfit that fit his body.

For some reason, after putting it on, Luo Chen felt something hard on the outside of her body, so she immediately cut open the clothes and saw something wrapped in cowhide. When she opened it, she found another thing wrapped in something else.

Although it sounds very strange, after peeling back about ten layers, Luo Chen finally saw a small note.

The map clearly depicts mountains and rivers, and features four large Chinese characters that read "Treasure Map No. 1".

The following text contains some mysterious language.

This is a book with only questions and no answers. If you can notice the differences between heaven and earth, you will gain more enjoyment. Treasure is just an illusion.

Go and find ten magical places, where you will find the ultimate beauty.

Luo Chen didn't understand it at first, but the place drawn on the map was extremely familiar to him, because it was the place where he had almost lost his life.

Luo Chen turned his head and walked directly to the end of the tunnel, where a huge door appeared in front of him.

Luo Chen knocked on the door.

"Who are you?"

"I'm here to see the fortune teller, Duran!"

As Luo Chen shouted this, the door gradually opened. Luo Chen walked inside, but saw nothing but a huge energy well.

Suddenly, a beam of light fell from the sky, and after the light flashed, a sphere-like object of light appeared in front of Luo Chen.

Luo Chen looked at the ball with a puzzled expression.

"I always thought that the fortune teller Duran was a person, at least..."

"Isn't this some kind of monster?"

Before Luo Chen could finish speaking, Duran answered him directly. Luo Chen thought to himself, "Fine, you win," and then asked the ball of light, "Hello, you should know why I'm here, right?"

"Of course, there's nothing in this world that I don't know. You're the second person to come looking for me today!"

Secondly, at this moment, Luo Chen remembered that the two bandits had said the same thing, so Luo Chen waved his hand helplessly.

"Who was that person who came looking for you before?"

"Ankaro!"

"Ankaro!"

Luo Chen and Du Lan both uttered the name at the same time.

"Dragonborn, you are much smarter than I imagined!"

Aren't you afraid I'll destroy you?

"No, strictly speaking, I am no longer in this world. So to be precise, I am dead. It's just that endless knowledge remains here. Actually, I'm not alone. There's another person who looks just like me, but they are both so engrossed in the world of knowledge that they have no thought of returning to this world!"

Luo Chen fell silent, looking at the most intelligent person in the world in front of him.

"So, do you think you're smarter, or is he?"

"Your question has no answer!" Everyone has the same constitution, including summoners, so the system immediately prompted Luo Chen.

"The slave's loyalty is three, and it is now decreasing. Please stabilize the slave's loyalty as soon as possible!"

This was intolerable! Luo Chen immediately ordered the summoner in front of him, "From now on, no matter who does anything to you, you are not allowed to resist!"

This command was even more painful than killing her, but her body obediently complied. Luo Chen picked her up and threw her onto the small bed next to him, then began to take off the extra clothes on her body.

The two quickly became entangled in a fierce battle. With Luo Chen's repeated attacks, the Summoner's loyalty was also rapidly increasing. By the time Luo Chen stood up again, the battle was over.

Luo Chen looked at the faint bright red color on the small bed, and then stroked the summoner's little face.

"Don't you have a name of your own yet?"

"No, Master!"

Luo Chen hummed in agreement, already knowing what she was thinking, and then said softly, "...Then, from now on I'll call you Shirley. It's a lovely name, isn't it? Do you agree?"

The summoner—no, she should be called Sherry now—obediently nodded her head: "Sherry will obey Master's orders!"

Luo Chen laughed heartily: "That's good. From today onwards, I am the master of this place. Inside Winterhold, there is a woman named Nigel. From now on, any intelligence or work you need will be directly assigned to you by her! Understand?"

Sherry stood up, her perfect body displayed before Luo Chen.

"I know Master!"

Luo Chen involuntarily swallowed hard. This witch was far too provocative. After receiving her reply, Luo Chen turned and left. With her master's orders, even the witches dared not do anything to Luo Chen.

When Luo Chen reappeared in front of Ulag, the old man jumped up excitedly, almost hugging Luo Chen and kissing him forcefully.

Luo Chen smiled calmly and looked at him: "Approximately how long will it take to decipher the contents of this book?"

Ulag shook his head: "It's hard to say. We'll have to see what's written in the book. But I heard that during the time you were gone, Zardif brought back that big rock. Goodness, just as you said. But I feel like something's not quite right!"

Seeing that the old man was genuinely happy, Luo Chen couldn't bear to disturb him any longer, so he turned and left, heading into the Elemental Hall. (Qian Lehao)

Zardif was looking at the huge rock in front of him with a puzzled expression when Luo Chen walked over.

"Teacher, I wonder how your research is going?"

Zardif shook his head: "According to Annelghan's guess, the patterns on this stone should be ancient writing, but we know far too little about this, so we must find an expert to help us decipher it!"

Luo Chen remembered that there was another book that Shirley had given him, but he saw that it was useless, so he didn't hand it over to Ulag.

"Oh, right, I have another book here. See if you can use it."

As he spoke, Luo Chen handed the book of the ancient world to Zardif. Zardif quickly glanced at it, having never seen its contents before, and then turned to look at Luo Chen.

You did a great job this time!

While the two were talking, Ankaro came up to Luochen and Zardif.

"Someone wants to see the chief mage, and he asked me to come here to inform you to go over!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Luo Chen and Zardif exchanged a helpless glance and followed them up.

"It's said that the cult that's coming this time is from another continent, so you two both need to be careful later!"

Chapter 236 The Lost City

After saying this, Duran quietly disappeared from Luo Chen's sight.

"If you want to find the answer, Dragonborn, go and find it yourself. Remember, to deal with that eye, you must find the magic wand!"

The last words Luo Chen heard were these, and then he returned to the ground.

Zardif walked up to Luo Chen: "Have you seen the fortune teller?"

Luo Chen hummed in agreement: "It's just a soul now, it no longer has its original form!"

Zardif sighed. It was chilling to see this former genius reduced to this state for the sake of academic pursuits.

Before leaving, Luo Chen turned around and looked at Zardif: "By the way, you must be careful of the Eye of Magnus!"

I've already introduced the Eye of Magnus to Zardif. My only worry is that if something goes wrong, it would be disastrous for the entire Winterhold Academy.

Zardif laughed heartily: "Don't worry about us, we're not as bad off as you think!"

After saying that, Zardif turned and left. Luo Chen also braved the wind and snow and went outside. As soon as he came out, Nigar came out and saw Luo Chen in front of him. He immediately rushed up and hugged Luo Chen in his arms.

"Husband, are you back?"

Looking at this general who had previously been so arrogant but was now so submissive, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile faintly: "By the way, what has become of our Winterhold now?"

For Luo Chen, this was merely the starting point in this world, but for Nigar on the other side, it was indeed their shared love nest. Therefore, she was extremely serious about building Winterhold.

Luo Chen thought to himself that he had only been back in Winterhold for half a month, and he hadn't expected that a place that used to be no better than Qingxi Town had transformed into what it was now.

Luo Chen nodded in satisfaction and gently kissed Nigal's forehead.

However, Luo Chen was about to leave this place to retrieve what belonged to him. After reaching the gates of Winterhold, a messenger came out and looked at Luo Chen with a delighted expression.

"Excuse me, are you Lord Luo Chen?"

Luo Chen nodded, and the messenger handed him the letter. It was a letter declaring that the Empire was the true master of Winterhold. The letter stated that the Empire would grant Luo Chen the position of lord of Winterhold. The Empire was currently at war with the Stormcloaks, so it would not deal with Luo Chen for the time being and would generously give him Winterhold.

However, Luo Chen knew in his heart that once the matter of the Storm Cloak was resolved, he would get rid of Luo Chen, who was not born into nobility.

Luo Chen saw all this and at the same time made his own plans.

So he turned his head, smiled, took the letter from the man's hand, and thanked him.

The messenger said, "In the hearts of us lowly people, you are our hero!"
