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

Chapter 451 Farenja's Magic Book (First Update)

Good morning, Farenka!

Upon entering Longlin Fort, Li Chuan, as usual, first greeted Farenjia, and then prepared to continue reading inside.

However, Farenjia, who usually just nods, suddenly blocked Li Chuan's path today.

"I heard that when you were in Hemu Town, you visited the desolate waterfall and ancient tomb in Hanluo Mountain?"

"Yes, at that time I accepted a commission from the trading company owner, Lu Kan, to help him retrieve the Golden Dragon Claw from the bandits of Hanluo Mountain, so I did go in and take a look around."

Li Chuan nodded, not hiding anything.

He was just a little curious about how Farenja knew about this.

After all, when he passed the information to Balguff, he did not mention that he had gone to Hanluo Mountain.

However, when he thought of the sleeping innkeeper who had just left Dragon's Edge Fortress, he felt relieved.

The villagers of Hemu Town all knew that he had gone to Hanluo Mountain to wipe out the bandits there, and the landlady was no exception. It was most likely that she was the one who told Farenjia.

I never expected that these two people were actually having an affair.

"Did you find a strange stone inside with a map carved on it?"

Upon hearing that Li Chuan had indeed visited the Desolate Waterfall Ancient Tomb, Farenjia's eyes lit up.

"Strange stone."

Li Chuan pondered for a moment, then thought of the stone in the treasure chest guarded by the Corpse Demon Lord.

"You mean this piece?"

As he spoke, he pretended to reach into his adventurer's backpack, but actually took out a stone from the Tsukuyomi world.

Farenja picked up the stone and examined it carefully, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This is the one."

This stone is called the Dragon Stone, and the map drawn on it is actually the place where the followers of the dragon worship cult buried the corpse of a giant dragon.

Li Chuan knew about the Dragon Worship Cult. He had read about it in the book "The War of the Dragons," which mentioned the war between humans and dragons. The group of people who worshipped dragons were the so-called Dragon Worship Cult.

At that time, the most powerful being among the dragons, and also their leader, was a dragon named Alduin.

Legend has it that he was the first son of Akatosh, the dragon god of time, or that he was another side of Akatosh. Akatosh symbolizes the beginning of time, while Alduin symbolizes the end of time.

Therefore, Alduin is also known as the "World Eater" in mythology.

The followers of the Cult of Dragons believe that the world will be devoured and destroyed by Alduin, and then a new world will begin. Only by believing in Alduin will he resurrect them when the second world begins.

"This dragonstone is very helpful for my research on dragons, and it also has some significance in our defense against dragon attacks. I really need it, so..."

"Take it, it's useless to me anyway."

Before Farenjia could finish speaking, Li Chuan already knew what he meant.

He had already memorized the entire map of the dragon burial on the dragon stone with just a glance, so there was no need to keep it.

Seeing that Li Chuan was so understanding, Farenjia smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

"Very good, I will report this to the lord, and he will give you the appropriate reward."

"The reward is not a concern, but Venerable Farenja, I've heard you have a large collection of magic books. If possible, could I borrow them to take a look?"

Li Chuan smiled.

Farenja's face immediately showed a look of surprise.

"What, you want to learn magic?"

"I'm not entirely a warrior, but a magic swordsman, and I've also learned some magic."

Li Chuan raised his hand and released an electric shock.

Spellblades are very rare in Skyrim because most Skyrim warriors are opposed to mages and are even less likely to learn magic.

Those who truly have no prejudice against magic and are willing to learn it consider those warriors barbaric and rude, focusing all their attention on the study of magic, and would never wield swords.

Most importantly, a person's energy is limited.

Warriors wield one-handed swords, axes, and daggers; two-handed greatswords, great axes, and great hammers; as well as bows, shields, and so on. To be proficient in any one of these weapons makes one a rare master.

There are five major magic systems among mages, and even more sub-systems within them. Mastering one takes much longer than it does for a warrior.

To have both, one needs not only ideological awareness and no prejudice against warriors and mages, but also extraordinary intelligence and physical talent.

Otherwise, you'll end up with nothing special, and everything will be mediocre.

"I didn't expect you to be a magic swordsman. Your electric shock technique is quite good."

Farenja looked at the lightning bolt that Li Chuan emitted, which was significantly thicker than a normal electric shock, and couldn't help but nod in approval, his attitude becoming noticeably more friendly.

Although Whiterun is open-minded and highly tolerant, it is, after all, the oldest Nord city, and prejudices against mages and magic are still deeply ingrained.

So apart from his lord Balguff, who greatly admired him, others didn't really like him.

Now, seeing that Li Chuan, this warrior, was actually willing to put aside his prejudices and learn magic, he couldn't help but feel more admiration for him.

In fact, Li Chuan's focused study attitude in his room these past few days had already given him a very good impression of Li Chuan; at least he didn't think of him as a brainless brute.

"Since you've done so much for Whiterun and brought back the Dragonstone, I can allow you to look at some of the spellbooks in my collection. However, I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to talk to you, so you'll have to look at them yourself."

If you are really interested in magic, I still recommend that you go to the School of Magic at Winterhold.

Although the people here are prejudiced against the School of Magic at Winterhold, it is the only place in Skyrim where one can truly settle down and study and research magic.

"Thank you for the suggestion, Venerable Farenja. I am also planning to go to the College of Winterhold to study magic in a few days."

Li Chuan nodded.

He understood what Farenja meant: he was willing to share some magic books, but he wouldn't guide him in his studies.

Moreover, this part of the spellbook probably doesn't contain any very high-level magic.

But that's enough. He's not a complete novice when it comes to magic; he just wants to learn about some basic magic theories in this world.

After he finishes reading these books, his next stop will indeed be the School of Magic at Winterhold.

So, Farenja took some magic books from his private library and gave them to Li Chuan, then took the Dragon Stone to find Lord Balgruf.

Li Chuan also created a shadow clone and began reading at a faster pace.

Previously, I was afraid of attracting the attention of holy spirits and demons, so I didn't dare to use many of my abilities, and I only read books by myself.

Now that safety has been confirmed, the Shadow Clone technique, a cheat-like learning ability that's practically a bug, can't be wasted and left unused.

With hundreds of shadow clones reading at the same time, he finished reading and digesting all the remaining books in the room and the magic books he had just acquired in less than a day.
