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

Chapter 460 Night Mother and the Clown (First Update)

"Let's go see Graybeard at Highroar Peak first!"

After stabilizing his cultivation level slightly, Li Chuan left the master bedroom where he had been in seclusion for cultivation.

Studying magic in Winterhold and traveling the world to kill dragons are certainly important, but neither of these can be accomplished in a short time.

So why don't we go to Highroar Peak first and see what Greybeard wants from him?

After all, I stood them up for a whole month.

"Lai-mei, have you heard any news lately?"

Arriving at the lawn in front of the manor, he saw his personal bodyguard, Lydia, practicing her swordsmanship. The steel sword, weighing dozens of kilograms, was like a straw in her hands, wielded with great force.

As expected of an elite warrior among the guards of Whiterun.

Lydia was much younger than Li Chuan, so Li Chuan treated her like a younger sister, and after they got to know each other a little better, he called her Lydia.

"My lord, you have emerged from seclusion!"

Upon seeing Li Chuan appear, Lydia's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

In her heart, Li Chuan, this dragon descendant, was too mysterious. He could stay in his room for a month without eating or drinking. If she hadn't received Li Chuan's voice transmissions from time to time, she would have worried that Li Chuan might have starved to death.

In the end, one can only sigh that he truly deserves to be called a legendary dragon descendant; he is indeed different from ordinary people.

"There wasn't any before, but these past few days when I went to the Mare Banner in the city for drinks, I heard many adventurers and merchants say that they have spotted dragons in the sky, and there are more and more of them."

These dragons attack passersby from time to time, causing widespread panic throughout Skyrim, and many merchants are afraid to continue their trade.

Previously, merchants were most worried about robbers when they went on trade, but many robbers, especially those notorious large gangs, mainly robbed people of their money, and at most robbed them of their virtue, and rarely harmed people's lives.

Because they also value sustainable development.

If you kill too many people, you will not only be besieged, but you will also be targeted by mercenaries hired at great expense to seek revenge.

Moreover, with no one running trade routes, their profits have decreased.

In addition, many merchants, when traveling, are willing to spend more money to hire mercenaries for protection. If they encounter bandits, they generally do not want to fight and can get away with it by paying some tolls.

But dragons are different; they don't care about money or lust, they only care about life.

The key is that dragons are legendary creatures, ancient gods, whose power is far beyond what bandits can match.

The only positive aspect might be that the appearance of the dragons has temporarily eased the civil war between the Empire and the Stormcloaks, making it less intense.

Because everyone was afraid of being attacked by a giant dragon.

However, so far, there has not been a single incident of a dragon attacking the city. This may be related to the fact that the ancient dragon Milmenir attacked Whiterun and was killed by Li Chuan.

The dragons in this world are all intelligent beings, with intelligence levels generally exceeding those of most ordinary humans.

When they learned that ancient dragons like Milmonir had been completely killed, they naturally dared not attack human cities rashly without Alduin's orders.

"Okay, I got it. I'm going to Highroar Peak to see Graybeard. Do you want to come with me?"

Li Chuan was about to instruct Lydia to stay at the manor and look after the house, but seeing the expectant look in her eyes, he changed his mind and asked a different question.

It is indeed a bit difficult to ask a young woman in her early twenties, full of aspirations for the future, to stay in the manor every day.

Besides, there doesn't seem to be anything important to watch over in this manor.

"Go away, go away, go away!"

Lydia immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

That's Highroar Peak, the legendary home of Greybeard, and the place where Tiber Septim, the first emperor of the Nords to unify the continent, once studied.

It would be such an honor to be able to go with Lord Dragonborn.

When I go to Whiterun next time and talk to my old guard friends about it, they'll be green with envy.

"Okay, let's go together then."

Seeing this, Li Chuan smiled and was about to fly directly to the monastery on High Roar Peak with Lydia when he suddenly froze and looked at the main road outside the manor.

Because Li Chuan's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm dispersed the dark clouds in the sky, the weather was sunny and bright.

But despite the bright and sunny weather, he felt a very strong aura of darkness and death emanating from the main road.

This dark, deathly aura is somewhat similar to the ancient Nord ghouls I saw when I went to the Desolate Waterfall Tomb, but it is much, much stronger, and it is clearly mixed with other, more unique energies.

"What is it, sir?"

When Lydia saw Li Chuan suddenly pause and turn his gaze to the main road outside the manor, she couldn't help but look over as well.

At that moment, on the main road, a strange man dressed as a clown was riding a horse, pulling a huge coffin, slowly passing by the manor.

"There seems to be something wrong with that coffin."

Li Chuan narrowed his eyes, then strode out of the manor.

He sensed the thick, dark aura of death emanating from the coffin, which piqued his curiosity.

"Hey you upstairs, what are you pulling?"

"Oh, sir, are you speaking to Cicero? Cicero is the poor mother, and we are preparing to send her to a new home."

No, no, no, don't misunderstand, she's dead. I'm transporting her body, hahaha.

Upon hearing Li Chuan's voice, the clown stopped the carriage and began gesticulating wildly as he explained, looking quite eccentric and insane.

If a normal person knew this, they would most likely not ask any further questions.

But Li Chuan was curious about the dense, dark death energy inside the coffin, so he naturally wouldn't give up so easily. He chuckled and asked:

"Is it really just your mother? Then I suggest you open the coffin and take a look; she may have already turned into a ghoul."

At this moment, Lydia also came out of the manor:

"You have arrived in Whiterun territory. This is the esteemed Martial Guard. Please open the coffin immediately for inspection."

Since Lord Dragonborn said there are ghouls in the coffin, then there must be.

A bizarre clown dragging a ghoul along is clearly not normal.

"What? That's impossible! You must have made a mistake."

The little scandalous man grinned with a sinister smile, then leaped down, a dagger popping from his hand, and walked towards Li Chuan with a grin.

He clearly intended to kill them to silence them.

"Sir, be careful!"

Upon seeing this, Lydia immediately drew her steel sword from her waist and took out her shield.

However, the clown mysteriously disappeared at that moment, as if he had never been there at all.

"Looks like he can also use invisibility. He's really something else."

Li Chuan raised an eyebrow.

He knew that the clown hadn't really disappeared; he had simply used an invisibility spell from the illusion magic system of this world to hide his figure.

What's remarkable is that the opponent not only concealed their body, but also almost completely hid the sound of their movement.
