Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 284

"This is the territory of Imperial soldiers. How dare you Stormcloaks enter!"

As he spoke, the guards drew their short swords, and Luo Chen moved with lightning speed, knocking them to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The guards on the street heard some noise outside, so they all came out and saw five corpses lying on the ground. Their eyes immediately turned red.

"We are issuing this warrant for your arrest in the name of the Empire. Please draw your sword!"

It seemed to refer to the Heaven-Destroying Sword in Luo Chen's hand. However, Luo Chen did not say anything more. Instead, he flashed and appeared in front of the group, stabbing the sword into the throat of the person who had just spoken.

Luo Chen's bounty was also skyrocketing, and more and more of those guys kept appearing from who-knows-where. Nigar followed Luo Chen and cut one of them down, spitting out a mouthful of saliva at the same time.

"What a nuisance! I didn't expect you to be so ruthless!"

Luo Chen showed his humility, turned around, and swung his sword down again, beheading an imperial soldier.

The battle between the two quickly alerted the owner of the place, Lord Karada.

He walked out step by step and saw Luo Chen and the others. He was already angry, and now his anger was even stronger. However, Luo Chen did not lay a hand on him. So where did he get the blood on his hands?

The soldiers of the empire were also very curious about what had happened.

So, looking at Luo Chen, he followed suit and looked towards Karada.

"I hereby declare that Winterhold is now under my rule!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise, but the system prompted, "Isn't this Karada the lord?"

"What did you do to Karlwolf?"

Nigel's face darkened; clearly, there was something different about her story with this so-called Karlwolf.

Karada burst into laughter: "Are you talking about my uncle? No, he's already dead at my hands. If he hadn't changed his mind at the last minute and decided to hand over the position of lord to that woman, perhaps none of this would have happened!"

Nigal yelled "Bastard!" and charged forward with his longsword, raising it high in the air before slashing it down fiercely.

It seems that the conflict between the two stemmed from this incident involving Kalvor.

Luo Chen naturally wanted to help Nigal, so he rushed forward with his Heaven-Destroying Sword. Karada looked like an elf, with a pair of beautiful big eyes and a pair of long ears.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Luo Chen couldn't help but sigh. Why bother doing this?

The surrounding imperial soldiers were even more at a loss, not knowing what to do. In their eyes, there was no such thing as honor, because their own beliefs had long been shattered by their own lord.

When the battle between the two was almost over, Luo Chen suddenly flashed to the middle of them. At this moment, Nigar was about to strike Karada with an axe, and Karada also offered his longsword.

Luo Chen grabbed Nigal's axe with one hand and let out a dragon roar at Karada in front of him.

Karada was completely unable to defend himself and was sent flying backward. Luo Chen walked up to him step by step and turned to look at Nigar.

"I don't want your mind to be filled with resentment, so leave this matter to me!"

After saying that, Luo Chen quickly brought down the Heaven-Destroying Sword in his hand, which went directly into Karada's body.

"Kalada is dead. From now on, Winterhold will belong to me alone. I wonder if anyone disagrees?"

As Luo Chen spoke casually, the surrounding soldiers exchanged glances and placed their weapons on the ground.

Seeing them raise their hands, Luo Chen smiled calmly. Nigal, who was also watching, put his weapon back behind him.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

Since this is a new person, the supervisor naturally needs to be replaced. Looking at the terrified steward, Luo Chen asked, "Why didn't you come up to help your lord just now?"

The steward was slightly taken aback, as he had never considered this issue before. Luo Chen didn't say much, but simply patted him on the shoulder and walked directly towards the road in front of him, arriving at the entrance of Winterhold Academy.

Suddenly a figure flashed by, and a woman dressed in witch's clothes appeared in front of Luo Chen.

"Halt! This is the College of Winterhold. State your purpose?"

Luo Chen said softly, "I am the lord of Winterhold, and also a dragonborn. Greybeard sent me!"

Upon hearing the words "Greybeard," the woman dressed as a wizard said, "You can come in, but the woman behind you cannot. Moreover, you must demonstrate your dragon roar to me, otherwise even the supreme emperor of the empire will not be allowed to enter!"

Luo Chen understood, so he took Nigal's hand and led him directly back to the lord's longhouse. Although it was called the lord's longhouse, it was actually dilapidated.

Chapter 225 Introduction

"I'll trouble you to manage Winterhold for me here for the time being!"

Since we can't bring Nigal back, it's better to let her stay here and help Luo Chen develop her own strength.

Nigal nodded: "Be careful, I'll be here waiting for you to come back!"

Luo Chen smiled calmly, then turned and left the place, reappearing before that wizard.

"Before we begin, I think it's necessary for us to get to know Lord Fallen of Winterhold!"

The witch remained vigilant until she confirmed Luo Chen's identity.

"Faluda, Luo Chen, you claim to be a dragon descendant, so demonstrate your abilities!"

Luo Chen called out softly to her, the sound almost knocking her away. However, Luo Chen was prepared in advance and adjusted the power of the dragon roar to the minimum. This is not something that just anyone can do!

Farouda sensed the power of the dragon's roar and knew that danger was about to descend upon the world once again.

"Perhaps you should study hard here, and the chief mage will summon you in the future!"

Luo Chen nodded, turned around, and walked into the Winterhold Academy. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, gradually covering Luo Chen's entire body. However, Farouda behind him did not seem to be affected. Luo Chen's special ability made Farouda feel somewhat incredible.

"Luo Chen, Na Ge, aren't you cold at all?"

Farouda asked Luo Chen, who shook his head: "Coldness only exists in your own mind. If you feel it's cold, then it is cold!"

It's obvious from their voices that they're just another group of people who are clearly very capable, but pretend that if you understand these principles, you're also awesome. This is the kind of person that Farauda hates the most in her life.

So, without saying much to Luo Chen along the way, the two of them walked towards the gates of Winterhold College while talking. However, it was clear that Winterhold College should have been located in the center of this city before.

Later, Luo Chen learned that a genius had turned this place into what it is now after a failed experiment, and also caused a great flood that turned Winterhold into the apocalypse. As a result, the lord of Winterhold was the poorest among all the lords, and the Winterhold College, which was originally welcomed by the entire Empire, slowly became what it is now.

Although Luo Chen had already understood everything, it didn't mean he wanted to tell the whole story. As Farouda walked, he came to a well and quietly chanted a spell.

"what is this?"

Luo Chen asked curiously, and Farouda smiled and said, "This is our power, and it is also the legendary soul cultivation technique of you Chinese. As long as you integrate your entire soul into it, the barrier will make its own judgment on you humans, and you will be able to easily enter the gates of the magic school!"

Luo Chen finally understood. It turned out that this thing was just like the ones in martial arts novels, possessing its own judgment ability. It really was high-tech.

But if Farouda knew that in the later world, such things could be done without magic, what would she think?

The magic academy was not as large and beautiful as Luo Chen had imagined. It also had its own imperfections. Although it looked very tall, it stood alone on the mountaintop, supported only by a pillar-like piece of land. Perhaps one day the entire magic academy would disappear from this world.

Upon entering the academy, two people were engaged in a heated discussion. Perhaps due to the academy's secret nature, Luo Chen was unaware of these matters and wisely stepped aside.

After arguing for an unknown amount of time, the two finally finished their discussion. At this moment, Farouda walked over and pointed at Luo Chen, telling the two something. The slightly taller man then turned his head away and went directly into the main hall behind him.

Luo Chen stood obediently in place, like a curious baby, without moving.

Farouda walked over and said, "I'm so sorry. The two high-ranking mages were discussing something, so I apologize for taking up your time."

Luo Chen replied that it was nothing, and then the older woman who had been arguing earlier came over and extended her hand when she saw Luo Chen.

"I am a senior mage of this academy, my name is Mirabelle, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Luo Chen extended his hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am!"

Mirabelle then glanced at Farouda, who immediately stepped back.

"Alright then, since this is your first time at our college, and you'll be studying here for a very long time to come, I'll show you around some of the College of Winterhold!"

Luo Chen said "okay," and Mirabelle pointed directly to the statue in front of her and said, "This is the main campus of the magic academy. If you have any dangerous magic to perform, I think you won't find another place as good as this."

After saying that, Mirabelle walked to a house on her right: "This is called the Hall of Faces. Generally, students live here, but you won't live here because you have a special status! Isn't that right? Dragonborn!"

Luo Chen nodded and followed Mirabelle to a wooden door on the left.

"This is the Hall of Achievement. Generally, only our teachers and outstanding students are qualified to live and study here. I hope you will not let everyone down!"

Luo Chen answered yes, and then Mirabelle led Luo Chen to the second floor and handed him a set of clothes.

"These are your clothes, but of course, this is only temporary. If you are able to serve this world well in the future, you will receive a much higher reward!"

After saying that, Mirabelle walked to the door of the room. There seemed to be no defenses here, and more importantly, there was no door. For magicians like them, the difference between having a door and not having one was not very significant!

After changing his clothes, Luo Chen looked at himself in the mirror. To be honest, he looked quite handsome, at least he did. However, the worst thing about the mage's clothes was that they covered a lot of Luo Chen's face, so this aspect needed to be improved in the future.

"Are the clothes ready?"

Mirabelle outside the door grew impatient. Luo Chen replied "yes" and walked out the door.

Chapter 226 Gathering

Even Mirabelle was slightly surprised to see how handsome Luo Chen was; he was just too handsome.

However, Mirabelle is not a lovesick fool; she also has her own dream life partner.

"Come on, it's getting late. We've arranged a party especially for you!"

Luo Chen thought it was a good thing to have a gathering. Maybe he could gain control of the entire Winterhold College. Of course, they wouldn't be so stupid as to let a newbie like him cook in the kitchen.

So after dusk, Luo Chen went directly to the central hall, where people were coming and going in a lively atmosphere.

Luo Chen sat in a quiet corner. Today, just like every day, everyone was sitting in their chairs, quietly waiting for their final moment.

Just then, a green light suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and a figure was sitting on a long table. Luo Chen was also sitting there, looking at everyone in front of him.

Beside him was a fellow with a tiger's face, his entire body covered in leopard print.

"I heard you're a new student at our college?"

Luo Chen nodded, and the tiger-faced man continued, "Hello, my name is Zha Ge, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

The two shook hands amicably. Zag kept putting the raw meat in front of him onto his plate, while also placing some cooked meat in front of Luo Chen.

"This meat has been processed, so you don't need to worry!"

Zag's friendliness made it impossible for Luo Chen to refuse, so he picked up the meat in front of him and started eating. To be honest, the meat was quite delicious, with the added flavor of some medicinal herbs.

Luo Chen thanked Zha Ge for his hospitality, but at the same time, he would not forget his purpose.

"If I want to find something, who should I ask for it?"

Zag thought for a moment: "According to custom, Vice Dean Ankaro usually knows the most, and the Chief Archmage is often not here, so most students are used to asking him questions!"

The person Zag was referring to was that special guy who had just appeared, and judging from their expressions, they all seemed to have a good impression of this so-called teacher.

However, his smile appeared somewhat unnatural to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen nudged Zag in front of him again: "So who knows the most about things from the past? I'm talking about some mysterious things."

After thinking for a moment, Zag said again, "Then it should be Tordiv!"

Upon hearing what Zhag said, Luo Chen thought to himself that if he could get this guy to answer his question, he would surely get the answer. However, there were too many people around, and Luo Chen couldn't leave this place, so he continued to eat and drink with Zhag.

As Zag ate, tears welled in his eyes as he said, "My lifelong dream has been to become an outstanding scroll mage. When I first decided to come to Winterhold, my family objected, saying it was evil magic, but I went ahead anyway. I just don't know if I'll ever have a chance to turn back!"

Luo Chen patted him on the shoulder in a gesture of comfort, but he couldn't offer any words at the moment.

"But Brother Luo, there's one more thing you can do to help me!"

Seeing his anxious expression, Luo Chen said gently, "If this matter doesn't involve violating any school rules, don't worry, I will do my best!"

Hearing Luo Chen's affirmative answer, Zag quickly pulled out several long scrolls from his backpack.

"These are flame scrolls I invented. After using them, a flame will surround you, providing some protection. So I would like to ask you to test them on some ghouls and record the process and effects of these experiments!"

His expression was incredibly serious at that moment, even if it was because he might have drunk some beer.

Luo Chen took all the scrolls into his hands and then disappeared.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to help you with the matter you asked me to do!"

Zag smiled at Luo Chen and then fell asleep. He had drunk a bit too much tonight, so Luo Chen simply carried him on his back and headed towards the Hall of Achievements. However, perhaps because they were too tired, the two of them fell asleep in front of the energy well.

It seems that the energy well is what powers all the institutions in the school, much like the electricity that will be used in the future.

When Luo Chen woke up again, it was still late at night. Singing could be heard outside the door, as if someone was singing instead of sleeping. Luo Chen pushed open the door, and the door closed automatically again.

There was indeed someone singing here, holding a long flute in their hand.

Luo Chen walked over. It was Farouda. When she saw Luo Chen arrive, she put her flute away and wiped away her tears. Luo Chen asked her, "What exactly happened?"

Farara seemed to dislike the image of Luo Chen, so she coldly replied, "None of your business!"

She then returned to her room alone, leaving Luo Chen alone. At this moment, the snow stopped, and a bright and beautiful moon hung high in the sky.

The next day, everyone gathered together.

He headed to the Elemental Hall for his first class, eager to see how it differed from his previous ones.
