Luo Chen shook his head: "I just want to get in and find the lord here. I have something important to do!"
"If there's anything important, just tell me!"
Luo Chen shook his head again: "Sorry, no, you're not qualified to hear this!"
Nigada was Lord Balgruf's most trusted subordinate, and now this kid in front of him was saying that he was not qualified to hear about this matter. That was fine.
"Hmph, kid, do you know who I am?"
Even if you're his wife, it's still not allowed!
Suddenly, the girl named Nigada became wary. Normally, there aren't many people who aren't afraid of threats, especially since it's a young man who is also a wanted criminal. This shows that he is different from others, and perhaps he really has something very important to report to the lord.
"You better be, or I'll make you suffer a terrible death!"
When she recounted two particularly tragic moments, the men around her couldn't help but drool.
Chapter 199 The Legend of the Golden Dragon Claw
Of course, they weren't drooling because they were impressed by the beautiful and slightly handsome woman, but because the two words Nigada uttered had surprised everyone.
Why let this kid named Luo Chen go so easily?
Left with no other choice, these people had to open the city gates and let Luo Chen into the city.
As they walked, Nigada kept trying to trick Luo Chen, seemingly eager to get the secret out of him. She was confident that if she could find out what happened, she could make Luo Chen disappear without a trace in the city.
Luo Chen mumbled incoherently while looking around at the houses. They were all indeed built of wood and a little bit of stone. Luo Chen was very curious about what would happen if he set this place on fire.
Luo Chen was thinking about all sorts of strange things, while Nigar was also looking at Luo Chen, plotting something in his mind.
Soon the two arrived at the Dragon Roar Palace. Balguff was sitting on a chair in the main hall, looking at Luo Chen as he entered, a hint of doubt in his heart.
"So you're the one who came to see me?"
Luo Chen nodded: "The dragon is back, and it even attacked Holy Land Town!"
The entire hall fell silent. The wizard behind Balguff, upon hearing this, also became somewhat unsettled.
Balguff stood up: "Is this true?"
"What benefit would I get from lying to you? We've received information that Long is likely to launch a surprise attack on Qingxi Town. This is a letter the town mayor asked me to write!"
After finishing speaking, Luo Chen handed over the letter that Larov's sister had given him. Balguf nodded after seeing it and said to Luo Chen, "Okay, I'll find someone to protect them. The fact that you were able to come alone proves that you are a capable person. Why don't you stay and help me?"
Luo Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord, but I have my own matters to attend to right now, so I apologize!"
Barguf's face showed a hint of regret: "Alright then, I hope you can come back. Remember, there will always be a place for you here."
Luo Chen led the army given to him by Balguf toward Qingxi Town. When they returned, everyone came out. It was the first time they had ever seen so many people, and they were all very energetic.
However, there was still one thing Luo Chen couldn't figure out: why would Balgruf help Larov on this side, even though he knew Larov was a member of the Stormcloaks?
Later, Luo Chen realized that Balguf had always been a very neutral person, a kind of opportunist, so he had no concerns about him.
With this in mind, Luo Chen decided to head to Winterhold to take the first step in enslaving the world. Just then, a shout came from behind him. Luo Chen looked back and saw a middle-aged woman with bound feet. Perhaps because of her bound feet, she ran very slowly.
Luo Chen initially thought the woman was calling him, so he turned his head. He saw the woman walking over anxiously, looking at Luo Chen and giggling.
Then a swift slap came flying at him. Luo Chen dodged quickly, but for some reason, the slap landed squarely on his face.
At this moment, Luo Chen realized that someone had been hiding behind him all along. The woman quickly walked up and twisted the man's ear.
"How many times have I told you not to steal other people's things? Hurry up and return them to the other person."
The man then hesitantly handed Luo Chen her money pouch. Perhaps noticing Luo Chen's clothing, the woman said softly, "I'm really sorry, but that's just how my man is. I hope you don't mind!"
Luo Chen shook his head: "What's there to mind? But stealing is definitely not right."
The woman seemed to have something she wanted to say to Luo Chen. Luo Chen looked at her and asked, "Miss, is there something else you want to say?"
"Are you an explorer, Na?"
Luo Chen thought for a moment: "Perhaps. Is there anything that can help you?"
The woman clapped her hands: "Hey, my father's name is Matol. He was originally an explorer like you, but one day he discovered something called Dragon Stone, and then he joined an expedition team and disappeared. Can you help me find my father?"
Luo Chen said doubtfully, "What if something happens to Uncle on the way? I won't be able to find him!"
The woman said anxiously, "Actually, he's still in the Huangbu Ancient Tomb. If he's had such an unfortunate fate on the way, there's nothing I can do!"
Seeing the woman's anxious appearance, Luo Chen's heart softened for some reason.
"Okay, I agree to your request!"
In fact, the tomb was not far from where Luo Chen was now. It took Luo Chen about a day to reach the ancient tomb at the location shown on the map.
Is someone coming?
A voice came from in front of Luo Chen. Luo Chen gripped the Heaven-Destroying Sword tightly and rushed out. Before Luo Chen could be seen, the heads of several bandits fell to the ground.
If the woman's father is still inside, then these bandits outside the ancient tomb might have accomplices. He should be wary of this first. Luo Chen began searching their corpses.
Sure enough, he found a medicine bottle and a diary, which contained the following entries.
On March 15th, our leader led us to the outside of this ancient tomb. It was said that there was an expedition team inside, and that they had hidden gold on their bodies. We went in, but to our surprise, we encountered ghouls. Moreover, the corpses of the dead were even more powerful than we had imagined. In the end, our leader was trapped in a huge spider web. We were terrified and had no choice but to escape together. Hopefully, when the expedition team came out, we could make a fortune.
It turned out that this group of people were afraid of dying inside as well, so they decided to wait outside for them to come out and then strike them down. This was undeniably a clever move, but unfortunately for them, they encountered Luo Chen.
Chapter Two Hundred: Slaves Open
Upon seeing the corpses scattered on the ground, Luo Chen immediately opened the iron gate in front of him, and inside the gate was drawn the image of a demon.
It looked much the same as the place Luo Chen had taken out before. All around, a desolate sound came from the tomb. Luo Chen ran straight into the tomb.
A strong smell of blood wafted out, and even Luo Chen had to cover his mouth.
After entering the area, there were still several bandits searching for something!
Luo Chen crouched down slightly, concealing his aura. One of the people around sensed something unusual happening around them.
So the man looked behind him and saw no one in front of him.
"Agur, what are you doing?"
Another bandit came out and asked the bandit who was searching for Luo Chen a question.
The man shook his head: "Oh, no, it's nothing. I think I just saw something, so I just glanced at it."
The bandit's companion narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Hmph, that girl Averna really thinks we don't know anything? She actually kept such a treasure all to herself!"
But the bandit named Agur didn't think so: "Brother, I just feel that something is wrong?"
"tell me the story!"
"If Avil only wanted to keep that treasure for himself, he could have run away long ago. So why is he still here?"
"Agur, after all these years, I didn't expect you to have become so smart. Let me tell you, given Avira's penny-pinching nature, she'll definitely stay inside, since that group hasn't come out yet!"
Luo Chen watched the two people from behind and sneered inwardly. These two probably didn't get the map, right?
Thinking about this, Luo Chen realized that these two bandits and the people outside probably weren't working together. He hadn't expected that Aweier would collude with so many bandits to get the Dragon Stone inside.
He wasn't afraid of being caught off guard. After thinking it over, Luo Chen suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. The two were so frightened by Luo Chen's sudden appearance that they couldn't speak. They held long swords in their hands and approached Luo Chen step by step.
When the two bandits saw Luo Chen, they felt a sense of fear for some reason.
"Your Majesty!"
Luo Chen said calmly. In fact, he didn't know why he said that. He just felt that he often asked others to do this in the past.
Upon hearing this, the two bandits immediately knelt on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed to Luo Chen.
"Sir, please, please don't kill me!"
Luo Chen laughed heartily: "Not killing you isn't impossible, but it's not enough for you to drink it all!"
As he spoke, Luo Chen threw two bottles of Demon King's blood in front of the two men. The two men were naturally very grateful. As long as they didn't die and didn't drink these things, it wasn't impossible for them to kill the person next to them right now!
After the two drank it, Luo Chen himself didn't realize that a sinister sneer had come out from his mouth.
After the bandits drank the medicine from Luo Chen's bottle, their eyes became glazed, and they knelt on the ground, saying, "Master!"
Luo Chen had already anticipated this outcome, so he had the two people in front of him lead the way while he followed behind them, thus greatly reducing his danger.
Luo Chen wouldn't even glance at such low-level slaves, treating them like two idiots, and simply led them forward.
At that very moment, Luo Chen probably had no idea that several pairs of eyes were staring intently at him.
As Luo Chen descended the passage, a large iron gate blocked his path. He swung his sword forward, but even with the power of the Heaven-Destroying Sword, he couldn't open the gate.
However, Luo Chen was unaware that he could only unleash half the power of the Heaven-Destroying Sword at the moment. Although he was unaware, Luo Chen would not give up so easily, so he began to observe his surroundings.
Not far from him, he saw three stones on the ground, each painted with a fish, a snake, and an eagle. Looking up, he saw three more stones high in the sky. As he walked toward the stones, he discovered that they were movable.
So Luo Chen stretched out one hand and moved one of the stones. With a loud bang, the stone in front of him spun around, revealing the snake-like side to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen took a step back, almost scared to death by this guy. Fortunately, he was unharmed. Seeing that his trick worked, Luo Chen followed the same method and moved towards the other two stones.
But here's the problem: one of the stones in the middle has no pattern!
"you!"
Luo Chen pointed to one of the bandits, and the bandit immediately knelt down on the spot.
"Yes, Master. What are your orders?"
At this moment, in front of the iron gate, there was a stone table. On the stone table was something that looked like a pull ring, as if something would happen if it was pulled.
Luo Chen looked directly at the person in front of him and said, "Go and try it!"
Luo Chen wanted the two bandits to find the correct answer for him. After the bandit answered yes, he walked over and pulled the ring in front of Luo Chen.
With a cracking sound, the two looked in front of them at the same time. They saw countless poisoned arrows flying out from the wall. Luo Chenshen reached out and his hands moved quickly.
Many of the poisoned arrows were hit directly into the ground, but the bandit who pulled the ring was not so lucky. After being hit by the arrows, he fell to the ground.
Seeing his corpse rapidly decaying, Luo Chen's eyes were devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at someone who was destined to die.
"Drag him away, I don't want to see him!"
Another bandit named Agul stepped forward. He didn't know why he obeyed the man before him so readily; he only knew that he couldn't disobey this man's orders.
Chapter 201 The Golden Dragon Claw and Avil
"Master, we've found something here!"
Aguer seemed to have found something on the ground, so he called out. Luo Chen walked in that direction and sure enough, the thing on the ground was a stone, though it was a bit blurry.
But this didn't faze Luo Chen. He used the brush he had just retrieved from the bandits to start brushing the ground.
A large, twisted snake appeared in front of Luo Chen, and the snake bared its ferocious teeth.
Could the correct order be snake-snake-fish?
Luo Chen immediately sent Aguer to try it out, and sure enough, after the long snake in the middle turned around, the stone in front of him made a cracking sound.
Meanwhile, the iron gate gradually rose.
Luo Chen walked forward and came to a slope. After reaching the top, he turned around and found himself in a vast space with many treasures placed on the ground.
However, Luo Chen didn't like any of them. But in order to gradually build his own troops in the future, Luo Chen had no choice but to squat down and pick up the things in front of him. Then, Luo Chen handed a book called "The Thief's Code" to Aguer.
Aguer glanced at the book and already knew its contents. At that moment, the system notified Luo Chen that as long as he found fifty similar people, he could gradually build a thief group.
Although Luo Chen had only been in this world for a short time, he was very familiar with everything here. So he wrote down what the system said. It was said that there was a group of thieves in Bone Rift City. If he could control them all, he would become rich.
After thinking about this, Luo Chen laughed out loud and walked directly to the other side. However, this place was completely covered by spider webs, making it difficult for an ordinary person to walk through. But was Luo Chen an ordinary person?
The answer was naturally no, so he simply used his longsword to make a light slash, instantly opening a path leading to the depths of the cave. The darkness and dampness inside grew increasingly intense, and Luo Chen could also hear some rustling sounds from time to time.
Agul, holding his weapon, walked up to Luo Chen.
"Master, it's dangerous ahead. Let me scout the way for you!"
Luo Chen nodded without objecting. In Luo Chen's mind, she could find a lot of men like him anywhere in the world.
Seeing Luo Chen's agreement, Agul walked forward. Suddenly, a spider silk flew out and wrapped around his neck, and Agul's face turned purple instantly.
"Damn it, they didn't even leave me a single subordinate?"
Luo Chen was a little angry because, in his eyes, these small fry should have been able to hold out a little longer.
Strangely enough, when Luo Chen sighed towards his nose, he discovered that Agul still had a trace of life. Although Luo Chen was curious, he could guess what was going on.
Since Agul was born into a bandit family, he was naturally more capable than other bandits. In addition, he had risen to the position of third-in-command over the years, which was quite remarkable.
Luo Chen smiled calmly. He didn't have time to think about so many things right now. So he found the antidote in a box next to the room. It was a bit random. Maybe the owner of this tomb left it here on purpose!
