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

Chapter 544 The Mother's Whereabouts (Second Update)

To be honest, after chatting all the way, he still had a certain fondness for Serana, this interesting vampire young lady.

Of course, it's not the kind of attraction between a man and a woman; it's just that I find the other person interesting.

"Serana, how dare you betray me! Bring them all back!"

Harkon's angry roar echoed through the ice storm.

Serana ran even faster upon hearing this.

"You have flying magic, let's fly away quickly, none of them can fly except my father."

Upon arriving outside the castle, Serana quickly called out to Li Chuan.

Li Chuan smiled and did not object. He raised his hand and rode the clouds, taking Serana away from the castle.

When Harkon led the vampires from the castle out, there was nothing but stars in the sky; not even a shadow of the two of them could be seen.

"Wow, I didn't expect your flying magic to be so fast. Even Father can't catch up with us now."

Sensing the flight speed, which was ten times faster than when they arrived, Serana let out a scream.

After getting far enough away from Fuqihar Castle, Li Chuan stopped Baiyun and turned to look at Serana:

"It seems your father doesn't care much about you. What should we do now?"

"I thought that after a thousand years, he would have changed and reconciled with his mother. It seems I was too naive. He has gone mad and has been completely consumed by power and desire."

I want to go find my mother and ask her why she didn't release me as promised.

Serana's face showed a hint of disappointment.

Li Chuan seized the opportunity to ask:

"Do you know where your mother might be right now?"

He had read Serana's memoirs and knew that Serana did not know where her mother was hiding, but as her daughter, he felt that perhaps Serana had some clues.

This way, he could find Serana's mother and learn specific clues about the last ancient scroll.

"I don't know. She never told me. Before sealing me away, she only said that she would take another ancient scroll and hide it in a place where my father would never be able to find her."

Serana shook her head.

Li Chuan encouraged him:

"You can try to recall the details of your time with your mother; you might gain some insights."

"Yes, my mother was originally a very gentle person. She loved planting all kinds of beautiful flowers and was a very powerful alchemist. She loved me very much, and we talked about everything."

But ever since I argued with my father, we've grown distant. Every time I try to find her in the castle's back garden, she sternly chases me away.

Oh, and the garden—before my mother took me away from the castle, my father angrily sealed off her favorite garden, saying he would never go there again.

Do you think Mother might still be hiding in that garden?

Serana's eyes suddenly lit up when she recalled the garden.

Li Chuan nodded:

"We'll find out when we get there."

"Thank you, Chuan. We are not related, but you freed me from the seal and took me home. In the end, you didn't get the gold coins and were almost killed by my father. Now you are still willing to help me."

Serana looked at Li Chuan with gratitude in her eyes.

She felt that a normal person who had just experienced something like that would have run as far away as possible, but Li Chuan was still willing to risk going back to the castle with her to find her mother.

Li Chuan's answer was also very direct:

"Your father intends to end the entire sun and kill all humanity. As a human, I cannot stand idly by. Helping you is also helping humanity. I hope you will hand over the two ancient scrolls to me when the time comes to stop your father's plan."

"Of course, once I see my mother, I will persuade her to give you that ancient scroll and help you stop my father."

Serana nodded seriously, then untied the ancient scroll from her back and handed it to Li Chuan.

At this point, she completely trusted Li Chuan.

"Alright, only one volume left."

Having obtained Serana's ancient scroll, Li Chuan thought to himself.

If you can find Serana's mother, it would be best to obtain the last ancient scroll.

If he couldn't find it, he would go and wipe out Harkon and all those vampires, and then decide whether to destroy the Ancestral Divine Land based on the reply from the elves there.

Once you've sorted that out, head to Artim Island and study magic with the mages in Boulder.

Oh, and I should find some time to visit the first Dragonborn in Solstheim. According to Alduin, that guy and Hermes Mora once collaborated to create a dragon roar that could enslave dragons.

When they returned to Vorgihar Castle, Harkon and his vampire minions had already gone back inside. So the two of them circled around to the back of the castle from high above.

"That's it!"

Serana pointed to a dilapidated, enclosed garden below, and Li Chuan manipulated the white clouds to slowly descend.

"This place has been completely demolished and looks lifeless. My family used to take a walk in this garden after dinner. My mother used to plant all kinds of the most beautiful flowers from the mainland here."

She would be furious if she saw the garden like this.

Serana looked at the dilapidated castle garden, recalling the beautiful scenes that used to be there, and her eyes showed a hint of loneliness and sadness.

After walking around the garden, she came to a large moon dial in the center and looked puzzled.

"Something's not right here. The decorations seem to have been deliberately removed, the pointer is crooked, and I can sense my mother's necromancy aura in it."

"This must be a hidden magical mechanism."

Li Chuan used his divine sense to probe the moondial and quickly discovered that there was a secret passage beneath it.

"I think we should collect those missing decorations; maybe that will unlock the secret."

Serana was speculating about how to activate the sundial mechanism when she stopped talking halfway through her sentence.

"What did you say?"

Li Chuan shattered the entire moondial into dust with one kick, revealing a secret passage leading below.

Serana twitched her lips:

"It's nothing, let's go inside quickly, maybe Mother is hiding inside."

Sometimes she really wondered who wasn't human. The most powerful human warrior she had ever seen wasn't as terrifying as Li Chuan's power.

With one stomp, the rest of the body remained unharmed, except for the stone sundial, which turned to dust. Even if she wasn't a warrior, she knew how terrifying that was.

If all humans outside were as powerful as Li Chuan, then even if his father ended the sun, he would still not be able to defeat humans.

They jumped into the pit, pushed open the iron door of the secret passage, and explored all the way to the deepest part of the castle's underground.

Just like the place where Serana was sealed, her mother also set up many ghouls, gargoyles, undead creatures, and various traps along this secret passage.

But Li Chuan easily dispatched them all without wasting any time.
