Chapter 439 Ancient Tombs and Ghouls (Part 2)

"Could you please show me those books?"

After scanning around, Li Chuan found that most of the things in the shop seemed useless to him, and the only thing that interested him was the pile of dusty books in the lower right corner of the counter.

Books are also a great way to learn about the world.

Lu Kan's hands and feet were also very nimble, and he quickly brought the books to the table:

"The book "Creation God and Alien God" sells for 10 gold coins.

"War of the Dragon" is priced at 9 gold coins.

Oh, it's "Electric Shock Technique", this is a magic book.

As you know, the price of magic books is relatively expensive, 400 gold coins, and by the way, I will send you a message for free. If you want to learn advanced magic, you can go to the Magic Academy in Winterhold.

There is also the last book "The Energetic Argonian Maid", haha, this is a must-have spiritual food for every man, 30 gold coins, you will never regret reading it! "

He glanced at his sister sitting over there to make sure that she couldn't hear him, and he whispered.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Chuan held the four thick books in his hands, and then paid 449 gold coins.

However, just as he turned to leave, Lu Kan suddenly turned his eyes and asked:

"Sir, are you an adventurer?"

"certainly."

Li Chuan paused, then nodded.

Rocker was caught stealing a horse before, so his identity can no longer be used, so now his disguised identity is Chuan, a fledgling adventurer, and his appearance has also been adjusted a little.

"If you are interested, we can make a deal. As long as you go to the Barren Waterfall Ancient Tomb to help me retrieve the golden dragon claw, then I will 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 adventurous, was clamoring to get back the golden dragon claw single-handedly.

It just so happens that there is an adventurer from other places who can be hired.

If it succeeds, it would be worth the thousand gold coins to get back the Golden Dragon Claw. If he failed and was killed, then he would not have to pay any more commission, and at the same time let his sister know the horror of the Barren Waterfall Ancient Tomb.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Desolate Waterfall Ancient Tomb?"

Li Chuan raised his eyebrows. He had just arrived here, so he didn't know what the Barren Waterfall Ancient Tomb was and where it was.

At this time, Kemira ran over, pulled him to the door, pointed to the thousand-meter-high mountain on the other side of the river, and said:

"That mountain is called Hanluo Mountain, and the building on the mountainside is the Barren Waterfall Tomb, the legendary tomb of the ancient Nords. I really don't understand why those thieves settled there."

Looking in the direction of Kemira's finger, Li Chuan found that the barren waterfall ancient tomb he pointed to was the magnificent building on the mountainside that he had been interested in before.

After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded and said:

"Okay, I will take this task."

He didn't have much interest in the one thousand gold coins, and he didn't have much interest in the golden dragon claws, he just had a little interest in that magnificent building.

Originally, he planned to turn around on the way from Hemu Town to Xueman City, but now he can take this task smoothly.

Seeing that Li Chuan agreed, Lu Kan was naturally very happy, and his sister Kailami also gave Li Chuan a general introduction to the road to the barren waterfall ancient tomb and some precautions.

After leaving the trading house, he first booked a room at the Sleeping Giant Tavern next to him. To his surprise, the room in the tavern turned out to be very cheap, only ten gold coins.

But it soon became clear to him that the tavern mainly wanted to make money from drinks, food and service.

After booking the room, he didn't take a rest, but went directly to the Barren Waterfall Ancient Tomb following the route provided by Kailami.

Walking up a path from the foot of Hanluo Mountain, after casually killing two wild wolves, a brown bear and three poisonous snakes that attacked him, he finally saw the old sentry tower that Kailami had mentioned.

And the thieves who were also entrenched in the old sentry tower also saw him, and killed him without saying a word.

"Avada Chain Lightning!"

As soon as he raised his hand, a green light shot out, and the three thieves fell to the ground instantly.

After searching the corpse and the old sentry tower, he didn't find the golden dragon claw, so he turned north and continued up the mountain.

When he came to the middle of the mountain and the ground began to be covered with snow and cold wind, the gate of the Barren Waterfall Ancient Tomb also appeared in front of his eyes.

"If this is really an ancient tomb, it is estimated that the status of the buried person is definitely not low."

Once again, he dealt with several thieves at the door, and he pushed open the huge stone door and walked in.

"So we should wait here and let Awell run in with the golden dragon claw?"

"The dark elf wants to go first, so let him go first, and just use his life to find the way for us, what's wrong."

"But if Arvil dies, our fee will be gone."

"Since he is going to use the golden dragon claws 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 entered Li Chuan's ears. He looked up and saw two strong Nord robbers, a man and a woman, arguing with their backs to him in front of the bonfire in the passageway opposite the entrance hall of the ancient tomb. .

But soon the two were attracted by the news that Li Chuan opened the stone gate and entered, and rushed over with weapons.

Li Chuan's figure flashed, and he appeared directly in front of the two thieves, and then used the Illusory Demon Emperor Fist on them to temporarily control their will.

"Tell me, why did you steal the golden dragon claw?"

From the conversation between the two just now, it can be seen that the purpose of this group of thieves to steal the golden dragon claw seems not so simple.

After being controlled by Li Chuan, the male bandit replied respectfully:

"It was Awell who found us and hired us to go to Hemu Town to steal the golden dragon claws with a lot of money."

It turned out that this group of bandits had been entrenched at the old sentry tower before, and they specialized in robbing travelers on the road from Hemu Town to Snowman City.

Two days ago, a dark elf named Avel suddenly found them and offered them 6,000 gold coins to go to the trading house in Hemu Town to steal the golden dragon claws.

That's why there was the theft last night.

It's just that Awell didn't pay the money and leave immediately after getting the golden dragon claw, but asked them to help guard the gate of the barren waterfall ancient tomb on the old sentry tower, and walked in by himself.

There are many deadly traps hidden in the barren waterfall ancient tomb, as well as the frightening ghouls in the legend. Even the thieves like them who entrenched in the old sentry tower have never dared to enter.

Even before they took over here, countless high-level adventurers entered the ancient tomb and were buried inside without ever coming out.

So the clever male robber guessed that Awell must use the golden dragon claws to go to the interior of the ancient tomb to obtain the treasures of the ancient Nords, and they could just reap the benefits of fishing here.

"Ghouls? Treasures of the ancient Nords?"

Hearing this, Li Chuan became more interested than before.

After killing the two thieves casually, he continued to walk into the depths of the ancient tomb.
