He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 436 The Nine Cities of the Sky (First Update)

"Not bad, there's also a mage."

With a wave of his hand, Li Chuan knocked the fireball away and flashed to the front of the fleeing thieves.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

With flashes of sword light, the leather armor and robes of the remaining three men and one woman bandits instantly exploded into countless fragments scattered on the ground.

"I advise you not to move again, otherwise next time it won't be your clothes that are torn, but your bodies."

"No, I wouldn't dare."

Despite the considerable distance, the other party caught up instantly and, without them having a chance to react, shredded all their leather armor and robes.

They knew perfectly well that this must be a high-level warrior they could never match.

Faced with such an existence, if you don't want to die, you have no choice but to obediently follow orders.

"Where is your camp? Are there any other people besides you?"

"We're just a small team, only five people, that's all. The camp is over there."

The leader of the five, a middle-aged man with a full beard, picked up a piece of armor to cover his vitals and pointed to the forest on the right with a trembling voice.

He felt like he'd seen a ghost today; earlier in the camp, they'd actually seen a legendary, long-extinct dragon flying overhead, scaring them half to death.

In the afternoon, he led his men to ambush by the roadside. They finally caught an adventurer who looked ordinary and weak, but he turned out to be a powerful high-level warrior who could instantly kill all five of them.

Right now, he can only hope that this terrible guy will let them go, considering how obedient they are.

"If you lead the way properly and don't try anything funny, I might consider sparing your lives."

As if he could read the bearded man's mind, Li Chuan spoke calmly.

He had indeed seen through the bandit leader before him, because just now, when he looked into the black-robed mage's eyes, he had already activated Legilimency and read his thoughts.

He didn't kill the bandits not because he was soft-hearted, but because he wanted to use them to gain a better understanding of more specific information about the world.

Among these five bandits are Nord warriors, dark elf mages, and wood elf archers; they certainly know far more than Lockel, an ordinary person.

It was getting late, so we decided to spend the night at the bandits' camp.

While Li Chuan was talking to the four bandits, the wood elf who had been shot in the stomach by an arrow Li Chuan had casually thrown earlier gritted his teeth and pulled out the iron arrow from his body, then drank a bottle of red medicine.

After drinking the red medicine, the wood elf's abdomen began to stop bleeding and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The effect is surprisingly good."

Upon seeing this, Li Chuan, who had been keeping a close eye on the Wood Elf, also showed a hint of surprise on his face.

He knew that there were many herbs with special magical powers in this world, which could be made into many different magical potions through the preparation of apothecaries. He just didn't expect these magical potions to be so effective.

The red potion that the wood elf just took out was clearly the lowest-grade healing potion, but after taking it, the wounds could be visibly healed.

Even with modern advanced technology, it is absolutely impossible to achieve this level of performance.

However, this also secretly increased Li Chuan's expectations. If this world really is no good at anything, then there is no point in him coming here.

"Restored to its original condition!"

Li Chuan reached out and cast a restoration spell on the broken leather armor and robe on the ground, and soon the clothes were restored to their original state.

"Take me to your camp."

The robbers looked at the intact clothes on the ground with some surprise; it was the first time they had ever seen this type of magic.

However, given that their lives might be in danger, they didn't care too much. They quickly put on their clothes and led Li Chuan to a clearing in the center of the forest, to their makeshift camp.

At night, a campfire was burning brightly among several makeshift tents made of animal hides.

Above the campfire was half a gray wolf, roasted until golden brown.

Li Chuan sat by the campfire, watching the five bandits wolfing down their food across from him, and began to organize the new information he had just obtained from them.

These five bandits weren't exactly knowledgeable people, but before becoming bandits, they had worked as mercenaries for a while and traveled around Skyrim.

Therefore, in terms of common sense, he is still much, much better than Locke.

At least Locker didn't know that Skyrim had nine cities, the warrior and mage ratings in Skyrim, or that there was a mage academy in Skyrim called Winterhold where one could learn magic.

Because Locke had spent the first half of his life in the town of Lorick and its surrounding area, he hadn't really been to many other places.

"Go to Riverwood first, then Whiterun, and from Whiterun we'll head to Winterhold."

After organizing everything, Li Chuan roughly planned out the subsequent action route.

The closest town to here is Riverwood, which you'll pass through on your way to Whiterun.

So he planned to go to Riverwood Town first, hoping to buy some magic books from the town's shops.

Magic is not a highly valued power in this world; at least, most warriors are of higher status than mages.

Of course, this isn't always the case. Truly powerful mages are still very popular with lords, and almost every lord will hire some powerful mages to serve as court mages.

So aside from some advanced and powerful magic, you can actually find corresponding magic books in those stores and learn them yourself for some regular and basic magic.

Like the black-robed mage among these five bandits, he saved up money to buy a book of destruction magic about fire arrows from a shop and became a low-level battle mage through self-study.

According to the black-robed mage, there are five main categories of magic in this world: destruction, restoration, alteration, illusion, and summoning.

The most common type is the Destruction Mage, also known as the Battle Mage, who can use fire, ice, and lightning to kill enemies.

As for the specific differences, their distinctions, and their underlying principles, these are advanced magical concepts that black-robed mages cannot know. They would need to learn from a true high-ranking mage or go to the College of Winterhold.

This is why Li Chuan chose Winterhold College as his third stop.

No one understands the essence of the world better than a mage who loves to study. Going to the College of Winterhold will not only allow you to learn about the magic of this world, but also to truly understand this world in greater detail.

It is said that the College of Winterhold has the largest library in Skyrim, which records many secrets of this world.
