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

Chapter 534 Traces of the Ancient Scroll (Second Update)

Li Chuan, holding the golden rope, walked up to the illusory figure and smiled slightly.

"It's not that I don't want to believe you, but if word gets out that I'm letting them go so easily, what will become of my dignity as the Dragon Emperor?"

The illusory figure was clearly a shrewd individual. Seeing Li Chuan's smile and the fact that he hadn't killed the four disciples, he immediately understood Li Chuan's meaning. After a moment's thought, he said:

"As long as we are not involved in worldly wars, Your Majesty, we are willing to compensate you for whatever you ask for."

"Hahaha, very good. I don't need you to help me win the war. I don't even care about those elves from the Ancestral Divine Land. I need you to agree to two conditions, and then this matter will be settled."

Li Chuan raised his hand and made a "two" gesture.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

The phantom nodded. As long as they weren't allowed to participate in worldly wars and didn't do anything that violated the principles of the Order, everything else was negotiable in his view.

The original purpose of the Sayik Order was to avoid worldly wars, follow ancient paths, and protect nature.

"Don't worry, my two conditions should be very simple for you."

First, I've heard that you can explore the entire continent of Tamriel, and I need you to help me find traces of all the ancient scrolls.

Secondly, I am very interested in the magic of your Seyik religion and would like to go to your island to study magic with you.

Now that we've captured the members of the Pseik Order, we should make good use of them. Not only will it save us time searching for the ancient scrolls, but we can also learn real time magic.

Upon hearing Li Chuan's two conditions, the illusory figure didn't hesitate for long before nodding in agreement.

"No problem, it is a great honor for Your Majesty to visit Artim Island."

The ancient scrolls don't have much destructive power, so even if the Dragonborn Emperor gets his hands on them, it won't have much impact on the world. In fact, the Dragonborn Emperor's power can be used to deal with another global crisis.

Exchanging magic is nothing special; even without exchanging magic with them, the Dragonborn Emperor's magical level is already unmatched in the world.

Furthermore, by cultivating a good relationship with the Dragonborn Emperor through magical communication, any future crises that arise in the world can be resolved with the Dragonborn Emperor's power.

Looking at it this way, it seems like a pretty good deal.

"You guys go back first, I'm going to Artim Island."

After retrieving the golden rope, Li Chuan gave Lydia a few instructions, and then teleported to Artim Island with four Seyik mages.

Artim Island, located in the Summerset Islands, is a small island with a mild climate year-round and beautiful scenery.

Because the entire island is shrouded in various magical arrays set up by the mages of the Psyik Order, virtually no one can find the island without the permission of the Psyik Order mages.

The island can not only become invisible under the influence of the magic circle, but it can also move under the control of the magic circle.

The place that Li Chuan and the four Seyik mages teleported to was Serborata, located in the center of Artim Island, where the Seyik mages monitored the continent and researched magic.

"Boulder greets Your Majesty!"

In the lobby on the first floor of Serborata, upon seeing Li Chuan and his four disciples appear, Boulder, along with the remaining seven mages of the Seyik Cult, bowed in greeting.

"No need for formalities. Now that I'm here, I'm no longer the emperor of the empire, but a mage who shares the same ideals as everyone else."

Seeing this, Li Chuan waved his hand and laughed:

"Master Boulder, please take me to the location of the ancient scroll."

"Please come with me, Your Majesty."

Boulder led Li Chuan through the door in the first-floor lobby and instantly appeared at the top floor of the tower, where they arrived in front of a huge crystal.

"Ancient scrolls!"

He gently chanted an incantation and cast a spell on the crystal ball with both hands. Soon, an ancient scroll appeared inside the crystal ball.

Reaching out and pointing at the crystal ball, the scroll immediately shrank, revealing a unique mechanical structure.

"It seems to be in the ruins of Dwarf."

Boulder muttered something, then tapped the crystal ball again, zooming out the view once more.

This time, a dark and vast underground world has appeared.

"It's in the legendary Black Mirror. I think I know where it is now."

Finally, I clicked on the crystal ball, and the view was zoomed out to the sky above the entire dungeon, to a place covered in snow.

"The location of the first Ancient Scroll is in a place called Elf Fang within the territory of Winterhold."

"This kind of magic that can locate things is quite interesting."

Seeing that the location of the first ancient scroll had been determined, Li Chuan nodded, then looked at the huge crystal ball with some admiration.

Upon hearing this, Boulder laughed and said:

"Actually, this shouldn't be considered a very difficult spell for you, because it's based on the illusion magic Insight spell with some modifications, and it works even better when used with crystals."

"If Your Majesty is interested, I can teach you how to cast this spell when you have time to come over."

With Boulder's hint, Li Chuan immediately understood the nature of the magic.

The art of insight involves stating the name of a place, then resonating your spirit with that place to obtain its exact location.

Since the principle is similar, the magic by which Boulder searches for the ancient scroll should involve stating the name of the item and resonating with the laws of this world to find its location.

When combined with the display and magnification of the crystal ball, the effect just described occurs.

However, it's easier said than done. Changing a pathfinding spell into an item-finding spell is not actually that simple.

"Then thank you very much, Master Boulder."

"I must also thank Your Majesty for sparing my four disciples who offended you."

Boulder smiled and cast the object-finding magic once again.

After truly meeting Li Chuan and experiencing just how powerful the energy emanating from him was, he had already made up his mind.

Since this Dragonborn Emperor is so powerful that even if the entire Pseik Order were to join forces, they probably couldn't defeat him, it would be better to find a way to guide him rather than leave him alone.

By sincerely guiding the other person in magic and turning them into a half-member of the Psyik Order, they can be more likely to accept some of their opinions in the future, making the world of Nien a better place.

In fact, they had done the same thing to the dragon-descended emperors of the Septim dynasty before, but those emperors became increasingly arrogant, so they had no choice but to give up.

There's no way around it; that's how emperors are. The first generation to establish the empire is the most brilliant, the second generation is slightly less so, and the subsequent generations get progressively worse.

This person happens to be the first generation of dragon descendant of the new empire, so there should be hope.

"This volume cannot be displayed."

The second ancient scroll image flashed by in an instant, as if it had been interfered with by some powerful force.
