Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 286

Luo Chen quickly glanced down and saw that a corpse demon had stood up, emitting a white light from its mouth and nose. Luo Chen swallowed hard, sensing that the matter was not so simple.

The two quickly engaged the ghoul in combat. Zardif's forte was long-range attacks, while Luo Chen was a melee fighter. So he rushed forward and fought the ghoul. It has to be said that the difference between the two was not great. No matter how Luo Chen attacked, Zardif could only use electroshock therapy on him.

Even they couldn't take down the corpse. The more Zardif looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong. So he said to Luo Chen, "Luo Chen, don't worry about him for now. You hold him off for me. I'll figure something out!"

Zardif then ignored Luo Chen and instead used his skill on the huge stone eye in front of him, which emitted lightning.

The ghoul, as if something sacred had been violated by an enemy, lunged madly at Zardif. Fortunately, Luo Chen was there. He quickly rushed forward and kicked the ghoul in the body. The ghoul staggered back two steps. Luo Chen increased his speed, reached him, and kicked him again.

Chapter 230 The Giant Eyes

After Luo Chen kicked down again, Zardif seemed to have made a breakthrough, and the ghoul was quickly enveloped in a black flame.

"Time is up!"

Luo Chen thought to himself, and quickly ran up, kicking the corpse demon in front of him to the ground. He then drew his Heaven-Destroying Sword and slashed it down at the corpse demon's neck.

This ghoul was probably born with a tough exterior, and even after he died, he remained that way, Luo Chen secretly guessed in his heart.

Meanwhile, unable to draw his Heaven-Destroying Sword, a scene of sawing wood—no, sawing bones—occurred in the hall, which Zardif witnessed firsthand, sending a chill down his spine.

My God, that's too amazing! That was his only thought.

After the horrific bone-sawing incident ended, Zardif dared not get too close to Luo Chen, and would hide far away whenever he saw Luo Chen.

Anelgan also walked in at this moment, and when he saw the large eyes in front of him, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

"What incredible magical power it must have taken to create this! My God, how could such a perfect treasure exist in this world!"

Hearing his surprise, Luo Chen patted him on the shoulder.

"Seniors, let's not be surprised yet. Now, what should we do with this thing?"

Such a precious treasure in their eyes was reduced to a mere trifle in Luo Chen's mouth. Annalghan's face darkened immediately. Zardif also knew that Luo Chen had said something wrong, so he ignored Annalghan.

"Luo Chen, that's just his personality. Don't worry about him. Go back quickly and report to your superiors that we've unearthed this treasure. Leave the rest to them!"

After saying this, Zardif turned and left. He and Annelghan discussed the matters to be dealt with next. Luo Chen did not dare to delay and returned directly to the outskirts of Winterhold.

Two weeks had passed since he left. He had no idea how he had survived without food or water in that cave. Nigal excitedly walked to the outskirts of Winterhold.

Did you do as I said?

Nigel nodded and brought Luo Chen inside. The so-called defense of Winterhold was just a simple city wall, which was naturally more conventional than that of Whiterun.

Fortunately, the people here had long since grown tired of this kind of life. In addition, Luo Chen had said that as long as everyone worked hard, there would definitely be enough to eat. In fact, what could be more important than this in this world?

Not only that, while Luo Chen arranged for Nigal to reinforce the fortifications, he also dispatched a team of about fifteen men. Their task was to go out every day to hunt down some old wild animals, ensuring that these animals were neither young nor young adults.

They were also given the opportunity to raise animals, such as chickens, cows, and fish. Once everything was settled, Luo Chen went directly to the Winterhold Academy.

This time, Luo Chen was going to meet the chief mage, so he checked his clothes to make sure there was nothing wrong with them before heading straight for the chief mage's residence.

Upon seeing Luo Chen, Savos stepped forward.

"You're finally back?"

Luo Chen nodded: "Chief Mage, our exploration here has ended, but we discovered a huge eyeball in that ancient tomb, and after being empowered by that power, people seem to be able to go crazy!"

"Can a person go crazy?"

Savos clearly didn't believe Luo Chen: "This can only be done with some low-level spells like exorcism and mind-disrupting magic. It's completely ineffective against higher beings, mages, and even those with strong mental power. Now tell me, someone has used this kind of magic to control other people's minds, right?"

Luo Chen knew perfectly well that this so-called chief mage didn't believe him at all, and there was no point in continuing the conversation.

"So they asked me to come back and ask you what we should do next?"

Luo Chen, young and fearless, was even looked up to by the chief mage: "How about this, go ask Ulag, he might have a better solution!"

Luo Chen knew in his heart that this was an order to leave, so he thought to himself, "Fine, I'll leave. Who's afraid of you?"

Thinking of this, Luo Chen turned and left, going directly to the second floor. Several students were looking at the books on the bookshelves. On a long table, there were countless books. Some of the more important books were all placed in cabinets by Ulag, and a lock was added to them.

This made everyone realize that he was a serious and old-fashioned old man, and you should never try to get anything from him, otherwise this old man would make you regret it immensely.

Luo Chen came to the old man's side.

After countless years, Ulag, whose eyes were barely able to open, opened them and looked up to see Luo Chen standing before him.

"Young man, what brings you here? This place possesses the ocean, something the rest of the world cannot obtain. However, if you do anything to betray the academy, such as stealing a book from here, your fate will be dire!"

So, everyone in the world is a bunch of thieves in front of this old man!

“We found a huge stone eye inside the Satar tomb, and the chief mage sent me to ask you about it!”

Luo Chen spoke calmly, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Ulag glanced at Luo Chen and said disdainfully, "It's just an eye, what's there to be curious about!"

Luo Chen replied, "But with the power of this eye weakened, no matter how we try to kill a ghoul, we cannot kill it, nor can we even harm it!"

Upon hearing this, Ulag finally opened his eyes.

"Young man, is everything you just said true?"

Luo Chen nodded: "Not a single lie!"

Ulag hurriedly went to his desk and frantically flipped through ancient books, hoping to find some other clues.

As the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves," and Ulag shouted happily, drawing everyone's attention.

Chapter 231 The Book Thief

He seemed to sense the unease in the air, so he raised his head and glanced at everyone with a peculiar look.

"What are you looking at? Go back to your books and don't take anything from here!"

So, he wasn't just saying this to Luo Chen, but to all the people present. After searching around, Ulag said, "Young man, that eye you mentioned before, was it always floating in the sky?"

Luo Chen nodded: "Actually, my name is Luo Chen!"

"Yes, good boy!"

Damn it, this old man has probably lost his temper. He gets so excited just from hearing about something related to eyes.

"fart!"

Suddenly, the old man looked at the book in front of him and cursed. Luo Chen was almost startled, so he cautiously asked, "I wonder if there is a problem, sir?"

"These guys, do they even know how to write books? There are three missing, a whole bunch of them, young man!"

Luo Chen reminded him again, "Old sir, my name is Luo Chen!"

"Alright, young man, hurry up and find those three books for me!"

Luo Chen cursed inwardly, then turned to him and asked, "Sir, you told me to go find the books, so I will. But at least tell me where you left them, otherwise how am I supposed to find them?"

This is a very real problem, but we have to face it. Ulag thought about it and agreed. So he told Luo Chen where the books might be, and then asked Luo Chen to wait a moment while he started flipping through the books in front of him.

The old man finally found it: "This is a shameless book thief! Shameless, despicable!"

"Sir, have you found the book? You can tell me!"

"Figoro Fortress! That shameless thief left those books, which we traded so many lives for, in that place! How hateful!"

Just as he was cursing the shamelessness and despicableness, Luo Chen had already left Winterhold Academy and was heading to Figoro Fortress when he was unexpectedly intercepted halfway there. Ancaro appeared in front of him.

"Wait a minute, is everything you just said true?"

It turned out that Ankaro had been hiding behind the two of them the whole time and had heard everything clearly.

Luo Chen nodded: "Actually, there are some things I'm not entirely sure about right now. I'll let you know when I'm sure!"

Ankaro nodded: "Actually, sometimes, if the chief mage doesn't quite trust you, you can come to me, Your Excellency!"

Although Luo Chen had always kept a low profile, as the true master of Winterhold, this fact was difficult to conceal from everyone, including the Chief Mage. This explained his cold attitude towards Luo Chen; in his mind, Luo Chen was merely someone who had come to search for treasure, not a true student of Winterhold!

After thanking the vice dean for his kindness, Luo Chen walked directly out the door. After walking for about three days, he finally arrived in front of Figolo Fortress, which seemed to be the gathering place for wizards.

As Luo Chen approached step by step, a sharp female voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Who are you? Stop right there!"

Luo Chen turned his head. At this moment, he was still wearing the clothes belonging to the College of Winterhold.

"You were sent by the College of Winterhold! Take him down right now!"

No one knows who spoke first, but everyone went crazy and threw all sorts of spells at Luo Chen. Even with Luo Chen's powerful body, he probably couldn't withstand it, so Luo Chen dodged their attacks and went behind a rock.

Most wizards are afraid of death, otherwise magic would not have been invented. These vicious witches saw Luo Chen hiding behind the stone, and unease filled their bodies.

Luo Chen saw rows of fire figures approaching him. These were not ghost witches, but summoned beasts summoned by witches.

Well, you could understand it that way. Luo Chen couldn't think of a better way for the time being. Right, fire means that his fire tongue technique might not be very effective against these fire people.

However, another spell should come in handy, namely the Time Stop spell that Luo Chen had been thinking about for a long time but had never had a chance to use. Luo Chen quickly chanted the incantation, and in an instant, the whole world became quiet.

Luo Chen walked out step by step, bumped into the little beauties who were walking towards him, and then pushed one of the wizards to the ground with both hands.

But don't get the wrong idea, this kind of trash is beneath Luo Chen's notice. So, the Heaven-Destroying Sword quickly appeared in his hand, and he slashed it downwards. One by one, heads flew outwards. The witch lost her head, which is like a person losing their most important thing, the brain. Although it may sound ridiculous, once a person's neck is cut off, sorry, you can go on your way.

But those witches are different. Even if you cut them in the neck, they can still elegantly drink tea with you, then eat a couple of cookies. When the blood has almost stopped gushing out, they can elegantly say sorry, "Excuse me," and come back after the bleeding stops, chatting with you elegantly. That's the difference.

Upon realizing this, Luo Chen inexplicably burst into laughter. He then stopped laughing and, seeing the changes before him, simply beheaded the witches one by one. The wind spirits from the dragon's roar, combined with the time-stopping spell, rendered the witches immobile.

But Luo Chen can appear and disappear repeatedly before everyone, only to deliver a final, devastating blow before vanishing again.

Once time returned to its normal course, the fire elementals suspended in mid-air howled in agony, as if someone were stripping them of their life force, leaving behind only a sea of ​​fire that refused to leave.

Standing before this sea of ​​fire, Luo Chen sighed, "If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Luo Chen had already released all the witches at the entrance. Next were those inside Figolo Fortress. If the wizards below hadn't been deaf to the calls from above, and if they had all rushed out together, Luo Chen wasn't confident he could handle them all by himself.

Chapter 232 Inside the Castle

This must be a lost fortress of the empire, now turned into a playground for thieves and witches.

Naturally, these thieves here serve only one purpose besides satisfying the witches' physical needs: they are laborers. Luo Chen saw that no matter where he went, there were some bandits carrying stones.

Luo Chen saw all of this and walked step by step toward the crowd in front of him.

However, there are really not many people who have discovered the Fallen Dust.

As for the bandits, upon seeing Luo Chen dressed as a wizard, they practically knelt on the ground. Unbeknownst to them, Luo Chen arrived at a secret room, where several small cages were placed around the room, with two wolves howling inside, and a person imprisoned in the very center of the cages.

Upon seeing Luo Chen's clothes, Na immediately perked up.

"Please, save me!"

Luo Chen didn't want to cause any more trouble at this time, so he turned his head away.

"I'm very sorry, it's not that I don't want to save you, but look, I'm also a wizard, and offending our leader would be a terrible thing!"

The person trapped in the cage turned around and whispered, "Don't think I don't know you're a mage from Winterhold. I've been to Winterhold, you can't fool me!"

Hearing his resolute tone, Luo Chen was also surprised. This guy was surprisingly knowledgeable.

Luo Chen then walked to the fence and carefully observed it. He discovered that there might be a mechanism inside. So he went to a piece of wood behind him and looked at the direction the chains led. Luo Chen was now certain that these chains were the key to opening the prison door. Luo Chen didn't care about anything else and quickly pulled one of them down.

Unexpectedly, the mechanism was activated, but it also released a nightmare, which was the wolf. It seemed to have been hungry for a long time. As soon as it saw Luo Chen, it let out a loud howl and pounced on Luo Chen.

Luo Chen firmly planted himself in a horse stance, and when the wolf charged at him, he threw it to the ground on the other side. Then he quickly rushed forward and punched the wolf in the face one punch after another.

Luo Chen's fierce actions caused the little wolf to howl, while the other wolf, presumably related to them, also seemed very anxious.

Luo Chen finally widened his eyes and thrust his sword towards the little wolf.

In the end, the hungry wolf could only howl once before it fainted. Luo Chen came to its side, cut open its belly, took out a piece of flesh, and then handed one of the pieces to Na.

"Seriously, what's your name?"

The man was practically rolling his eyes at Luo Chen. What kind of time was this to be asking him his name? But he didn't dare refuse Luo Chen's kindness because he was terrified that he wouldn't make it out of here alive.

Luo Chen eventually released him, but upon hearing his name, he immediately knocked him to the ground. It turned out that this person was the one who stole the books from Winterhold College.

"Fine, you can go now. The road ahead won't be easy. If you can escape, then escape!"

The thief knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Luo Chen: "I will never forget your life-saving grace. You wait, this isn't the end for us!"

After saying that, he quickly ran to the side and disappeared from Luo Chen's sight.

A beautiful female voice came from inside: "Is someone inside?"

Luo Chen feigned a rough voice: "I'm inside!"
