Chapter 466 The Strange Cultist (Third Update)

Entering the tomb of Jørgen Windcaller, and following the passage enveloped by ancient Nord murals, he soon heard the roars of ghouls and the curses of necromancers coming from the depths of the tomb.

It is clear that there are also a large number of ghouls guarding the grave in Jorgen Windcaller's cemetery.

According to the books he had read, almost every ancient tomb on the continent of Tamriel was guarded by a large number of ghouls.

Moreover, contrary to his previous imagination, when he was in the Desolate Waterfall Ancient Tomb, he always thought that the mechanisms inside the tomb were actually to prevent outsiders from intruding.

Just like the grand tombs of kings and generals in his previous life, the traps and mechanisms were designed to kill any tomb raiders who dared to rob them.

But in reality, most of the mechanisms in this ancient tomb are designed to trap the ghouls and prevent them from escaping.

The true guardians of the tomb are not the mechanisms, but the ghouls.

"Uh, all those noob mages are dead."

He had initially thought the necromancer who dared to raid the tomb was incredibly powerful, but before he had gone far, he discovered the corpses of six other necromancers.

And upon seeing him, a group of ghoul lords, wielding the ancient Nord greatsword, came to dismember him.

So it's unclear whether these necromancers were too weak, or whether the ghouls in the graveyard of Jorgen Windcaller, the Greybeard founder, were too powerful.

I guess it's a combination of both.

Most wild necromancers in Skyrim lack systematic training and are indeed incompetent; otherwise, they wouldn't be looked down upon by modern Nord barbarians who don't even know how to use dragon shouts.

And the ghouls in Jorgen Windcaller's Graveyard are indeed powerful.

Previously, in the Ancient Tomb of Desolate Waterfall, only the most powerful ghoul lord could use the Dragon Shout at the very end, but here, many ghouls can actually use the Dragon Shout to attack.

"Voss."

Seeing the horde of ghouls attacking him with swords, axes, spells, and dragon roars, Li Chuan originally intended to use his second-stage Unyielding Power to eliminate all the ghouls at once.

But after thinking about it, he gave up. If he were to use his second-stage unyielding power here, the entire ancient tomb would probably collapse.

It's the tomb of the founder of the Greybeards, after all. It's one thing to come and take things, but to shake the tomb down is just too disrespectful.

So in the end, he gave up using the Dragon Shout and instead used a full-body binding spell and an unlocking spell, and strolled into the depths of the ancient tomb.

The corpses that he immobilized in the ancient tomb will regain their freedom in about an hour, at which point they will be able to continue protecting the tomb.

"Dragon Language Wall!"

As they approached the deepest part of the ancient tomb, Li Chuan also saw a Dragon Language Wall similar to that of the Desolate Waterfall Ancient Tomb in a huge space.

The only difference is that the dragon patterns carved on the wall are different.

As Li Chuan approached the Dragon Language Wall, a soul resonance occurred once more, and a new dragon roar appeared in his mind.

The illusory spirit transforms, its "sound" reaching the dark void, altering your form into an illusory state that can neither be harmed nor inflict harm.

The dragon roar we obtained this time was the very same top-tier dragon roar that Milmenir used when he was escaping.

"Looks like I'm in luck!"

After obtaining the Dragon Shout, he continued deeper into the tomb and soon arrived at the main burial chamber, where Jorgen Windcaller's coffin was kept.

Jorgen Windcaller's coffin was similar to that of most ancient Nords, except that the lid had clearly been modified.

The surface of the coffin lid was engraved with many magical runes, and there were four dragon heads at the four corners to suppress it. In the middle, a large metal hand was also created.

The Horn of Jorgen, which should have been on the big hand, had vanished without a trace, leaving only a note on it.

Judging from the dust on the note, it has been at least two weeks.

"Did someone beat you to it?"

Li Chuan frowned as he opened the note.

Dragonborn:

I need to talk to you; it's urgent.

I will meet you in the attic room of the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood.

Your friend.

"They actually came for me."

When he saw that the person who took the horn specifically asked for him, he realized that this was not an accident.

Someone anticipated that Greybeard would send him here to retrieve the horn, so they came ahead of time to take the horn, just so they could meet him.

"Then let's see who you are and what tricks you're up to."

Li Chuan instantly appeared by the river in Hemu Town, his figure flashing and his phantom form shifting.

Not far from him, a slender girl in a long dress was wielding an ancient Nord hand axe engraved with runes, attacking a school of fish leaping from the river, seemingly honing her martial arts skills.

That person was none other than Camilla, the younger sister of the general store owner in Riverwood Town, a Nord girl who wanted to become an adventurer.

Perhaps she was tired of swinging it, so she put away the axe, hung it on her waist, and prepared to go home.

"Long time no see, Camilla. Still wielding that axe?"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind Camilla. She turned around and immediately showed a look of surprise and delight.

"Long time no see! I love this axe!"

She immediately recognized the man before her as Chuan, the handsome young adventurer who had killed the bandits of Hanluo Mountain a month ago, helped his brother retrieve the Golden Dragon Claw, and given her an enchanted hand axe.

"Did you receive another mission after returning to Riverwood Town?"

"I guess so. A friend asked me to meet him at the Sleeping Giant Hotel."

The two chatted as they walked into the town of Koki.

"Lord Wu Wei!"

At this moment, a soldier patrolling in Hemu Town saw Li Chuan and immediately stopped and saluted.

To prevent attacks from the dragon, Balguff has assigned guards to protect Riverwood Town on a rotating basis.

The guard on patrol had just come from Whiterun and was a survivor of the dragon slaying that day; he happened to know Li Chuan.

Li Chuan smiled and nodded upon hearing this.

"Wu Wei? Brother Chuan, could you be the legendary dragon slayer, the legendary descendant of the golden dragon?!"

Camilla exclaimed in surprise.

There aren't many guards in Whiterun, and they're all quite old; she's heard of them all.

Li Chuan only arrived in Sky Province a month ago, so he couldn't possibly be one of them.

The only newly added guard is the legendary Golden Dragonborn, who helped Whiterun stop the dragon's attack a month ago and personally killed the dragon.

Legend has it that he wore a suit of golden armor, was young and handsome, and possessed great strength. He killed the evil dragon on the spot with just one arrow.

He is currently the prince charming in the hearts of many young girls in Whiterun and even Skyrim.

"Golden Dragonborn? Uh...it should be me."

Li Chuan was taken aback for a moment, but then did not deny it.

Meanwhile, several cultists wearing strange masks and odd clothes were asking the villagers of Riverwood about something.

Hearing Camilla's exclamation, they both paused for a moment, then walked towards the two of them.

"Damn you, fake dragonborn, I've finally found you!"
