After scanning around, Li Chuan found that most of the things in the store seemed to be of little use to him. The only thing that interested him were the few dusty books stacked in the lower right corner of the counter.
Books are also a great way to learn about the world.
Lukan's hands and feet were also very nimble, and he quickly brought the books to the table:
"The book "Creation Gods and Alien Gods" sells for 10 gold coins.
"Dragon's War" sells for 9 gold coins.
Oh, it's "Electric Shock", this is a magic book.
As you know, magic books are relatively expensive, 400 gold coins. By the way, I will give you a message for free. If you want to learn advanced magic, you can go to the Magic Academy in Winterhold.
And the last one is "The Energetic Argonian Maid", haha, this is a must-have spiritual food book for every man, 30 gold coins, you will definitely not regret it after reading it!"
He glanced at his sister sitting over there to make sure she couldn't hear him, and then whispered.
"Okay, thank you."
Li Chuan held the four thick books in his hands and then paid 449 gold coins.
However, just when he turned around to leave, Lukan suddenly turned his eyes and asked:
"Sir, are you an adventurer?"
"certainly."
Li Chuan paused for a moment, then nodded.
Locke was caught stealing a horse before, so his identity could no longer be used, so now his disguised identity is that of a fledgling adventurer, Chuan, and his appearance has been adjusted a bit.
"If you are interested, we can make a deal. As long as you go to the Huangpu Tomb to help me retrieve the golden dragon claw, then I am willing to pay you a thousand gold coins as a reward."
Ever since he discovered that the Golden Dragon Claw had been stolen in the morning, his younger sister Kemila, who had always been restless and had an adventurous heart, had clamored to take back the Golden Dragon Claw single-handedly.
It just so happens that there is an adventurer from out of town right now, and you can hire him.
If he succeeded, it would be worth a thousand gold coins to get back the golden dragon claw. If he failed and was killed, then he would not have to pay the commission, and at the same time, his sister would know the horror of the Huangpu Tomb.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
"Arakaki Tumulus?"
Li Chuan raised his eyebrows. He had just arrived here, so he didn't know what the Huangpu Ancient Tomb was and where it was.
At this time, Kemila ran over, pulled him to the door, pointed to the thousand-meter-high mountain across the river and said:
"That mountain is called Hanluo Mountain, and the building halfway up the mountain is the Huangpu Tomb, the legendary tomb of the ancient Nords. I really don't understand why those thieves would settle there."
Looking in the direction of Kemila's finger, Li Chuan discovered that the Huangpu Ancient Tomb he was pointing to was the majestic building halfway up the mountain that he had been interested in before.
After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll take this task."
He didn't have much interest in the thousand gold coins, nor in the golden dragon claws. He only had a slight interest in the magnificent building.
Originally, he had planned to turn over and take a look on the way to Xueman City after leaving Hemu Town, but now it was easier to take on this mission.
Seeing that Li Chuan agreed, Lukan was naturally very happy, and his sister Kelami also gave Li Chuan a rough guide to the Huangpu Tumulus and some precautions.
After leaving the trading house, he first went to the nearby Sleeping Giant Tavern to book a room. Unexpectedly, the room in the tavern was very cheap, only ten gold coins.
But he soon understood that the tavern mainly wanted to make money from drinks, food and services.
After booking the room, he did not rest, but directly followed the route provided by Kelami and went to the Huangfu Tumulus.
He followed a path uphill from the foot of Hanluo Mountain. After casually killing two wild wolves, a brown bear and three venomous snakes that attacked him, he finally saw the old sentry tower that Kelami had mentioned.
Several thieves who were also entrenched in the old sentry tower also saw him and went to kill him without saying a word.
"Avatar Chain Lightning!"
He raised his hand and a green light shot out, causing the three thieves to fall to the ground instantly.
After searching the corpse and the old sentry tower, he did not find the golden dragon claw, so he turned north and continued up the mountain.
When he reached the mountainside and the ground began to be covered with white snow and cold wind, the gate of the Huangpu Tumulus also appeared in front of him.
"If this is really an ancient tomb, the person buried there must be of high status."
After once again dealing with several thieves at the door, he pushed open the huge stone door and walked in.
"So we should wait here and let Avel run in with the golden dragon claw?"
"If the dark elf wants to leave first, let him go first. He will use his life to explore the way for us. What's wrong with that?"
"But if Avel dies, our reward will be gone."
"Since he wants to use the golden dragon claw to enter the ancient tomb, there must be something more valuable than the reward. You stupid woman, don't ask so many questions, just listen to me."
As soon as he entered the ancient tomb, a conversation came into Li Chuan's ears. He looked up and looked ahead. Two strong Nord bandits, a man and a woman, were arguing with their backs to him in front of the bonfire in the passage opposite the entrance hall of the ancient tomb.
.
But soon the two of them were attracted by the movement of Li Chuan opening the stone door and entering, and rushed over with weapons.
Li Chuan's figure flashed and appeared directly in front of the two thieves, and then used the Phantom Demon Emperor Fist on the two to temporarily control their will.
"Tell me, why did you steal the golden dragon claw?"
It can be seen from the conversation between the two that the purpose of this group of thieves in stealing the golden dragon claws does not seem to be that simple.
After being controlled by Li Chuan, the male robber respectfully replied:
"It was Avel who found us and paid a lot of money to hire us to go to Hemu Town to steal the golden dragon claws."
It turned out that this group of bandits had been stationed near the old sentry tower, specializing in robbing travelers on the road from Hemu Town to Xueman City.
Two days ago, a dark elf named Avel suddenly found them and offered them six thousand gold coins to steal the golden dragon claw from Hemu Town Trading House.
That's why the theft happened last night.
However, after Avel got the golden dragon claw, he did not immediately pay and leave. Instead, he asked them to help guard the gate of the Huangpu Tomb on the old sentry tower and walked in personally.
There are many deadly mechanisms hidden in the Huangpu Ancient Tomb, as well as the legendary and terrifying corpses. Even thieves like them entrenched in the old sentry tower have never dared to enter.
Even before they settled here, countless high-level adventurers entered the ancient tomb and were buried inside without ever coming out.
So the smart male bandit guessed that Avel must use the golden dragon claw to go inside the ancient tomb to obtain the treasures of the ancient Nords, and they could just reap the benefits here.
"Wight? A treasure of the ancient Nords?"
After hearing this, Li Chuan was more interested than before coming.
After casually killing the two thieves, he continued walking deeper into the ancient tomb.
