Marvel's Magic Master

"I told you, I can do it. Even Kabala and his men combined are no match for me!"

"Do you really think they can't beat you? I told you not to take risks, or mess around, or go catch those thieves!"

"Then what do you have in mind? You can't just leave it alone. Tell me what you have in mind?"

"Okay, I've said enough. I'll find a way to solve it."

As soon as he opened the door, George saw the brother and sister arguing.

"A guest is coming!"

When the owner, Lucan Valeri, saw George walk into the store, he immediately stopped arguing.

Camilla turned her head and looked behind her with a look of surprise on her face:

"It's you, are you here to buy something?"

She recognized George as the stranger passerby who was nearly robbed by the three Kabalas yesterday.

George shook his head and said with a smile:

"I'm an adventurer. I heard at the inn last night that you were robbed and a very valuable item was lost. I wanted to ask if you need any help."

"You adventurer...Puchi"

Hearing what George said, Camilla covered her mouth and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

As the younger sister of the owner of the Riverwood Trading Company, she had seen many adventurers and had even been to Whiterun several times with her brother.

So she is a girl with some knowledge.

She can tell at a glance whether someone is an adventurer or not.

Judging from the way the young man in front of me is dressed, not to mention the armor, he doesn't even have a weapon, how could he be an adventurer?
If she hadn't stepped in to help yesterday, she would have probably been beaten up by those Kabala guys.

"I was planning to post a quest list on the hotel bulletin board these days. Since you're an adventurer, that would save you a lot of trouble."

Lu Kan looked him up and down, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then replied very politely.

Without any background or help, he was able to open a trading company in Hemu Town and raise his sister on his own. He is not an ignorant person.

Although the young man in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, the temperament he exuded and the way he spoke and the look in his eyes made him feel that he was not an ordinary person.

This world is not just populated by warriors whose muscles are more developed than their brains. There are also some wizards who can cast spells, and vampires and werewolves hiding in the darkness.

So never judge a person as weak based on his appearance or what he wears.

Maybe one day you will meet an old man who has difficulty walking, and he can summon lightning to kill you with a wave of his hand.

When you see an innocent little girl on the roadside in the wild, she might be a vampire that has lived for thousands of years.

However, even if the young man in front of him is just an ordinary young man, who resolutely joins this dangerous group with a yearning to be an adventurer, it doesn’t matter.

You have to bear the consequences of your own choices, and you have to pay the price for your ignorance.

It was also a good opportunity to let my sister Camilla see the consequences of becoming an adventurer, so that she could give up her dream of becoming an adventurer and get married honestly.

In fact, after the Golden Dragon Claw was stolen, he had no intention of looking for it.

Because he knew why the Golden Dragon Claw was stolen.

When he purchased this item at a high price, he knew that it was related to the ancient tomb of Huangpu Waterfall near Hemu Town.

It is said that one can use it to enter the depths of the ancient tomb of the Wild Falls and obtain the treasures of the ancient Nords inside.

However, out of caution, he finally gave up the plan and just kept it as a proud collection.

A few days ago, a thief broke into the store and didn't take anything valuable, but only stole the golden dragon claw. He knew it must be related to the treasure of the Huangpu Ancient Tomb.

There were no telling how many adventurers were buried in the Huangpu Ancient Tomb. He estimated that it would be difficult for the thief to survive, and there would naturally be no hope for the Golden Dragon Claw.

But Camilla has always wanted to go to the Ancient Tomb of Huangpu Falls to find the thief and get back the Golden Dragon Claw.

So in order to deal with Camilla, he thought of posting this task in the inn in a few days, which no one would accept. If an adventurer really took up the task and found the golden dragon claw, he would be very happy, because he still liked this collection very much.

“The thing I lost was a palm-sized golden dragon claw. It’s most likely in the hands of the bandits near the Desolate Waterfall Tomb.

If you can help me find it, I will pay you 3000 Septim!"

"Okay, I'll take this mission."

George nodded without hesitation.

Three thousand Septim is not a small amount. If converted to the previous life, it would probably have a purchasing power of over 100,000.

The main reason is that although the gold in this world is valuable, it is not as valuable as in the previous life. The truly valuable things in this world are the magical materials and rare minerals.

To be honest, Septim is gold coins. Melting three thousand Septim can definitely create a larger dragon claw ornament.

"Are you crazy? There's no way he can complete the mission. You're going to kill him!"

Camilla looked at her brother in disbelief.

Lu Kan spread his hands:

“He took the initiative to accept the mission. He is an adventurer, and the life of an adventurer is dangerous.

Now you don’t have to catch the thief yourself.”

"Well, at least I can be his guide. This gentleman probably doesn't know how to get up the mountain."

Camilla gritted her teeth and replied, she couldn't refute her brother.

Lukan nodded:

"You can, but you are not allowed to leave the boundaries of the town. You can only go to the other side of the bridge."

Camilla pushed the door open angrily and walked to the door. After seeing George following her out, she took a deep breath and said seriously:
"My words may hurt your self-esteem, but I think for the sake of your own life, you should give up this mission."

"Well, actually I am still a little bit confident in my ability."

George would know that Camilla meant well, so he was not angry.

Just like if you walk into a high-end hotel wearing beggar's clothes, it is normal to be stopped by the hotel waiter.

It's their job, there's nothing to say.

It is very petty to take revenge on others because you are upset about something like this.

Besides, Camilla was actually thinking about his life.

“That’s the Huangpu Ancient Tomb. Not only are there bandits and wild beasts lurking outside, but it’s also said that there are a large number of terrifying corpses and deadly traps inside.

I've never heard of any explorer or bounty hunter ever returning alive.

With your small body, I'm afraid you can't even climb up the outer snowy mountains. You'll freeze to death or be eaten by snow wolves!"

Camilla thought that the weak and ordinary George was unable to let go of his pride, so he immediately told him the information he had collected in the past few days.

George looked at Camilla in surprise:

"Then you still want to go by yourself?"

Since Camilla knows that the Wild Falls Tomb is so dangerous, why is she still clamoring to go there?

Camilla blushed and explained:

"I know my level, and I just said that to provoke Lukan so that he would spend more money to hire a powerful group of comrades in Whiterun.

This way, we can completely clear out the bandits entrenched outside the Wild Falls Ancient Tomb, and I can also see if there is an opportunity to join the comrades."
