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

Chapter 461 The Listener? (Second Update)

"Sir, he's an assassin. His invisibility won't last long."

Seeing the clown disappear, Lydia's pupils contracted, and she quickly retreated to Li Chuan's side, using her shield to protect him behind her.

As a bodyguard, her greatest responsibility was to protect Li Chuan's safety.

However, the clown's strength and experience were clearly far superior to Lydia's. He had anticipated Lydia's movements and had already circled behind Li Chuan, raising his dagger to stab Li Chuan in the waist.

As the top assassin of the Dark Brotherhood of Cyrodir, he once successfully assassinated a minister in the palace and escaped unscathed. Even though he has now been promoted to a Guardian, his strength is still far beyond that of mere guards.

He has mastered the four abilities of invisibility, whispering, stealth, and daggers.

These two people dared to examine Lord Night Mother's coffin; they were simply courting death.

Unfortunately, he was unaware that his every move had already been observed by Li Chuan.

Not to mention that Li Chuan's Yin-Yang Eyes can see through souls, making any invisibility or shapeshifting techniques useless against him. Furthermore, Li Chuan's powerful primordial spirit, now surpassing the Nascent Soul Realm, is not something that assassination techniques like his can fool.

So, just as Cicero the Clown's dagger was about to touch Li Chuan's lower back, Li Chuan, without turning his head, put his right hand behind his back and easily caught the dagger with two fingers.

"That's impossible!"

Seeing his artistic, deadly attack so easily countered, Cicero's eyes widened in disbelief.

Although he is a stealth assassin, his deadly strike, honed through years of training, is by no means weak.

But today, someone managed to clamp it between two fingers, and no matter how hard he tried, the dagger seemed to be stuck in a rock, not moving an inch.

However, he reacted quickly, immediately abandoning the first dagger, drawing the second dagger from his waist, and getting up to slit Li Chuan's neck.

"They'll all be petrified!"

However, before he could even draw his dagger, Li Chuan raised his right little finger and unleashed a full-body binding spell at him.

At such close range, how could he possibly dodge? He was frozen in place, staring wide-eyed.

"They even know how to paralyze!"

I thought the other person was a warrior because of their strength, but it turned out to be a mage.

Moreover, the paralysis spell is not an ordinary spell; it is at least a transformation attack spell that can be used by high-level mages. Its effect is to paralyze the enemy hit by the spell, rendering them unable to move.

"Sir, are you alright?"

It was only then that Lydia realized what had happened, and a look of guilt immediately appeared on her face.

The enemy had already circled around to her back, but she still hadn't noticed.

"Don't blame yourself, you're still young. Let's see what's in this coffin."

After offering a casual word of comfort to Lydia, Li Chuan turned his gaze back to the coffin.

With a wave of his hand, the large coffin lying on the carriage flew up and landed in the manor, its lid instantly being lifted to the side.

"This is the symbol of the Dark Brotherhood!"

Lydia turned to look inside the coffin. Inside the huge wooden coffin, another coffin appeared. This coffin was made entirely of metal and covered with terrifying runes, making it look very unusual.

However, that's not the main point. The main point is that there's a black handprint imprinted directly above the metal coffin.

"The Dark Brotherhood?"

A look of doubt appeared on Li Chuan's face; he had never seen this in the library of Longlin Fort.

Dragon's Foothold has a considerable collection of books, but it doesn't have every kind of book; at least compared to the library of the College of Winterhold, it is far less comprehensive.

Most of the books in Dragon's Foothold were collected by the lords of Whiterun throughout the ages, and as the earliest city established by the Nords, Whiterun was naturally ruled by all the Nords.

Nord barbarians love to wield weapons, but few of them enjoy sitting quietly and reading.

The reason the collection is so large now is because the lord of this generation, Balguff, recruited Farenja, and it was at Farenja's request that so many were collected.

Therefore, although Li Chuan's understanding of the world has surpassed that of many ordinary people, there are still quite a few blind spots.

For example, if there was no introduction to the Martial Guard in the library, then he would not know the meaning of this position. If there were no books about the Dark Brotherhood in the library, then he would naturally not know about the Dark Brotherhood.

At this point, Lydia, a native of Lydia, played a role.

As an elite of Whiterun, she may not have read as many books as Li Chuan, but living in the thriving trade of Whiterun for many years has allowed her to absorb some of the information that Li Chuan lacks.

"The Dark Brotherhood is the most notorious assassin organization in the entire world, they..."

Lydia immediately began to introduce herself to Li Chuan.

After a short while, he finally gained some understanding of the Dark Brotherhood, this assassin organization.

The Dark Brotherhood is spread throughout the continent and has a very long history.

They are not a righteous organization; on the contrary, they are extremely evil.

From beggars to emperors, regardless of whether the other party is a good person or a bad person, they will all go to assassinate the other party as long as they receive a mission.

As for how to hire the Dark Brotherhood, it is said that by performing an evil ritual, one can use the power of the ritual to contact the Dark Brotherhood and kill for you.

Therefore, the Dark Brotherhood is currently being hunted and targeted by cities in all countries across the continent.

"An evil ritual?"

Li Chuan's eyes darted around, and he raised his hand to point at the metal coffin.

"The Arahomon Opens!"

A beam of blue light shone on the metal coffin, and the latches on the coffin popped out automatically, causing the coffin door to slowly open to both sides like a double-door refrigerator.

A horrifying, desiccated female corpse, scorched by flames, appeared before his eyes.

The powerful, dark, death energy he sensed came from this female mummy.

"I've found you. Listener. It's you, yes, you are the chosen listener, because you can hear what I have to say."

Obey my command and convey my will to Cicero; you will become the leader of the Dark Brotherhood for this generation!

At the same time, a hoarse old woman's voice suddenly rang in Li Chuan's mind, making him raise an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, this dried corpse also possessed a similar ability to transmit sound through divine sense, just like him.

"What are you?"

Li Chuan approached the metal coffin and asked telepathically.

The female mummy's hoarse voice rang out again:

"I am the great Night Mother, the guardian of the Dark Brotherhood, and the mother of all members of the Dark Brotherhood."

When someone makes a wish to me through a ritual, I can relay the command to the members of the Dark Brotherhood through the listener to complete the ritual.

And you are the listener I have chosen for this generation; only you can hear my voice.
