However, despite the fact that insight is the lowest form of illusion magic, there are not many mages who can actually learn it and use it skillfully.
It's not that it's harder or that it takes more mana.
If it is too difficult to learn and consumes too much magic power, then it is not considered basic magic.
Insight is very simple to learn, but the key is that if you want to use it, you must have a very strong mental power to resonate with the laws of the world.
So it is indeed a novice-level illusion magic, but unless you are extremely talented, generally only the top mages can use it.
Li Chuan naturally had no problems. His mental power was already very strong, and it became even stronger after being strengthened by the soul of the Dragonborn bloodline.
"Looks like it's time to go to Winterhold!"
After digesting all the knowledge brought by the shadow clone, Li Chuan made a decision in his heart.
In the past few days in Xueman City, he spent the day reading at Longlin Castle, and at night spending money like water at the Mare Banner Hotel, communicating with some businessmen, adventurers and locals to obtain information.
Basically, his understanding of the world has surpassed that of most ordinary people.
So there is no value in staying any longer.
Originally, he wanted to stay for a few more days, but today he learned about "meditation", a practice method that can improve magic power, through Farenjia's magic book, and he couldn't wait any longer.
However, just as he walked out of the study room and came to the hall of Longlin Castle, he heard the urgent shouting of Irelles, the commander of the guards of Xueman City:
"Farenjia! Farenjia! Come here quickly, the guards found a dragon nearby!"
"A dragon! Really, this is so exciting. Where did it appear? What did it do?"
Farenga, who was studying the dragon stone in the house, immediately ran out of the house excitedly after hearing Irelles' call.
In addition to enjoying studying magic like other mages, his biggest hobby is studying the legendary dragons that have long been extinct. He is a standard dragon enthusiast.
The reason why I agreed to Balgruuf's invitation to serve as a mage in Longlin Castle was because of the legend of Longlin Castle about suppressing the dragon.
It's just that he is different from those followers of the Dragon Worship Cult. As a dragon enthusiast, he does not worship the dragon, but wants to dissect the dragon and study the mysteries of dragon magic from the dragon's body.
Seeing that Farenja was so excited about the appearance of the dragon, Irelles showed a hint of displeasure on his face:
“Farenga, I suggest you take this matter seriously!
If a legendary dragon were to attack Snowman City, we don't know if we could resist it.
Even if we can withstand it, how much will it cost and how many soldiers and civilians will die for it."
"Oh, I know, I just couldn't control my emotions."
Farenjia obviously realized that his performance at this time was somewhat misleading.
Irelles relaxed and frowned:
"The guards saw it flying from the mountains in the south and lingering near the western sentry tower. The lord has urgently summoned you to the second floor for a meeting to discuss how we should deal with it."
The two of them talked as they walked, and then walked towards the second floor of Longlin Fort.
At this time, Li Chuan also stopped and touched his chin involuntarily.
"The giant dragon is attacking, you can follow it and have a look."
He has been reading these past few days, and he didn't have time to learn the dragon roar that he had imprinted in the Huangpu Ancient Tomb before.
Now that a giant dragon appears, it's time to try out the one in your dragon bloodline, absorbing the dragon soul and quickly learning the dragon's roar.
And he also wanted to see this world and see what kind of strength the giant dragon that could be worshiped as a god in ancient times had.
Creatures and demons cannot physically come to Nirn, but dragons have always existed in the history of Nirn.
If the dragon is of average strength, he will kill it and absorb the dragon soul. If the dragon is too strong, he will hide for a while and then kill him when he is stronger.
But according to the legends about giant dragons recorded in the book, it seemed like that to him.
At least most of the giant dragons should not be too strong, otherwise they would not have been completely defeated after humans learned magic.
Perhaps because the situation was urgent, this meeting with Yu Julong ended in less than ten minutes.
Li Chuan also relied on his "sound ears" to eavesdrop on the general content of the meeting.
In fact, the content of the meeting was not much. After understanding the situation, Balgruv issued the order.
First, Irelles, commander of the Guards, led the most elite guards in Snowrun City to the western outpost to try to kill the dragon and prevent the dragon from causing a large number of civilian casualties in Snowrun City.
If the dragon is really as powerful as the legend says, don't hold on, save your life and retreat to Xueman City.
Here, Farengar will lead the remaining guards to set up defenses on the city wall. Once Irelles fails to kill the dragon and retreats, they will fight to the death to defend the city wall and resist the dragon's attack with all their strength.
Balgruuf himself will also summon the strong men in the city, especially the powerful group of comrades, to help defend the city and kill the dragon.
His name was not mentioned in the meeting.
In the eyes of Balgruuf and others, he was just a good adventurer, but he was only good enough and might not be as good as some of the warriors in his comradeship.
How could I think of him alone when facing something like the legendary dragon?
So after the meeting, Irelles ran past Li Chuan, rushed out of Longlin Fort, summoned the most elite guards in the city, and rushed to the western sentry tower.
Li Chuan also walked out of Longlin Fort first, concealed his figure, and followed behind in the clouds.
The Western Watch Tower is a watch tower used by Snowrun City to prevent bandits, wild beasts and enemy movements. It is stationed by an elite Snowrun City guard all year round.
When Li Chuan secretly followed Irelles and rushed there, the place was basically in ruins.
The thick stone walls had all collapsed, leaving eye-catching claw marks on them. There were burning flames and charred corpses of guards everywhere.
Irelles led a search and finally found a surviving guard from the remaining guard tower.
I learned from the guards that a giant dragon had indeed attacked the sentry tower just now, and it should still be lingering nearby and not far away.
Sure enough, as soon as the guard finished reporting, a thunderous dragon roar came from the distant sky, and then they saw the legendary powerful and terrifying dragon.
The giant dragon seemed to have discovered them, and it swooped towards the sentry tower and flew towards it again.
At this time, Li Chuan, who was hiding in the clouds, frowned.
It wasn't because of how powerful this giant dragon was. In his perception, this giant dragon didn't give him any great sense of threat.
What really made him frown was the roar of the dragon just now.
Maybe to the ears of Irelles and others below, it was just a few ear-splitting dragon roars, but to Li Chuan's ears, he could clearly hear the meaning of the giant dragon's roar.
