Chapter 655 Was the master merely appreciating beauty without any intention of possessing it? (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Dalia looked troubled: "But what do we have to offer to invite such important figures? We have nothing."

Anastasia looked at Dalia with a complicated expression, as if wondering whether she was truly ignorant or pretending, and finally whispered, "We still have ourselves."

Their greatest asset is the beauty bestowed upon them by heaven, which captivates countless men.

Dalia instantly understood Anastasia's implication, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she fell silent.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard on the other side, Master Urge, played by Li Chen, did indeed encounter a bit of an "accident".

His original plan was that after he demonstrated his ability to "cure" Grand Duke Andrei, Catherine would then hint to Vasily's wives and concubines, who would naturally come to him for help.

Unexpectedly, before the plan could even officially begin, the aloof and beautiful woman named Katrilan, who possessed the blood of the Northern Elves, actually came to visit him on her own initiative.

She walked gracefully towards him, and with an elegant demeanor, she performed a perfectly standard, even ancient, wizardly salute to Li Chen. Her voice was clear and cold like an icy spring, yet it carried just the right amount of respect: "Katrian, I pay my respects to the great saint. You possess a natural spiritual aura that is the same as that of my distant ancestors, which makes me feel both close to you and in awe."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly beneath his mask, a hint of surprise in his heart.

This was his first time playing the role of a shaman, and he wasn't entirely clear on many of the intricacies and rules. Could it be that this elven bloodline could sense the natural aura he was imitating? That was a new discovery.

He remained calm and replied in a hoarse voice, "Oh? You can sense the fluctuations of the spirits of nature?"

He took the opportunity to ask questions, hoping to extract more information about shamans from Katrian in order to avoid revealing any flaws later.

Seeing that the master seemed interested, Katrilla was secretly pleased and replied even more respectfully, "Reporting to the master, my bloodline is thin and my senses are weak, but the natural spiritual power surrounding you is pure and vast, like the walking ancestor of the forest. I cannot be mistaken. May I ask which lineage of the Way of Nature you cultivate? Perhaps it is related to the lineage of my ancestors?"

While giving vague answers, Li Chen secretly pondered that this was a good opportunity to learn about the shamanic cultivation system.

So Li Chen went along with it and had an in-depth conversation with Katriniran.

He deliberately focused the conversation on the transmission of shamanic systems, the training methods of different schools of wizards, and the incredible abilities possessed by those legendary great wizards.

At the same time, he inquired with great interest about Kathryn's thin Northland elven bloodline and her ancestral origins.

Seeing that this unfathomable master was so interested in his lineage, Katril was even more excited and naturally spoke freely and without reservation, with the utmost respect.

She recounted in detail how the Northern Elf Shamans communicated with the spirits of ice and forest, how they drew ancient totems, how they chanted star-shaped incantations passed down from their ancestors, and even mentioned some secrets about bloodline tracing and soul connection.

"According to the oldest songs of our tribe, our ancestors were not native to this world, but followed a star deity who wielded the 'Winter Scepter' and crossed the sea of ​​stars. Therefore, our blood contains some power of stars and extreme cold, but with the passage of time, it has long since become extremely diluted."

A hint of longing and regret flickered in Katrín's eyes.

"I am of dull mind and know only the basics. If you truly wish to understand the essence of our tribe's shamanistic ways, you will probably need to visit the tribe's sacred site. The high priest there may be able to reveal more ancient secrets to you."

The two talked for a long time, but the atmosphere remained serious and focused. Their eyes were clear, and they were purely discussing knowledge and its transmission, without crossing any lines.

Just then, Lady Catherine walked in gracefully. She had come to "inspect" the progress, to see how the "relationship" between Li Chen and the cold beauty Katrin was developing, and to consider whether they could make it happen that night. However, the scene before her stunned her. There was no ambiguous flirting as she had imagined; instead, the two sat facing each other, seriously discussing those profound and obscure shamanistic knowledge, the atmosphere even carrying a touch of academic solemnity.

Ekaterina couldn't help but admire Li Chen even more: "The master is indeed extraordinary! He doesn't need to use any coercive or enticement methods at all. Just with his profound knowledge and powerful aura, he can make a cold and proud beauty like Katril feel admiration and take the initiative to approach and ask for his advice."

Almost simultaneously, Anastasia and Dalia also dressed up carefully, putting on gorgeous dresses that best accentuated their figures and charms, and mustered up the courage to try "beauty seduction".

But when they saw the serious scene in the pavilion, which resembled a teacher-student debate, both of them froze on the spot.

Dalia quietly tugged at Anastasia's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, you see, I told you this master might not be the kind of person we thought, right? They really seem to be discussing serious matters, and Katrilan is just respectfully answering the master's questions. The way we're dressed makes us look a bit inappropriate and like we have ulterior motives."

Anastasia was completely stunned, and her confidence suffered an unprecedented blow.

She clearly remembered the first time she met Master Urg, when his gaze, hidden under his hood, had sharply swept over her body—it was definitely the look of a man admiring a woman!

Could I have misunderstood? Or is the master simply appreciating beauty without any intention of possessing it?
The current situation makes them appear to have depraved thoughts and underestimate the master's level of understanding.

Anastasia was completely at a loss.

Her greatest asset was her beauty, and if even that couldn't win him over, she couldn't think of any other way to save Vasily.

Dalia, being relatively calmer, suggested, "Sister, since Katril seems to be able to speak with the Master and have a good relationship with him, why don't we ask her for advice later? Ask her how she communicates with the Master?"

Anastasia was in a state of utter confusion and could only nod helplessly.

That evening, after Katril returned to his residence, Anastasia and Dalia couldn't wait to come and "ask for advice."

Kathryn didn't hide anything, and roughly recounted his conversation with the master: "Master Ulgri is very knowledgeable and extremely interested in the ancient ways of shamanism, especially the traditions related to us Northern Elves. He asked many questions about the tribe, our ancestors, and cultivation."

Upon hearing this, hope ignited in the eyes of the two women!

Dalia hurriedly said, "Sister, you said that the master is very interested in your tribe? He even wants to go and see it for himself?"

Katrelli nodded: "Yes, the master did indeed express that idea."

Anastasia and Dalia exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

This is a golden opportunity! This is exactly what the master wanted.

If they could help the master make this happen, wouldn't they have done a great service?
It will be much easier to ask the master to spare Vasily then!
The three beauties were plotting how to go with the master to the tribe where Katrilan used to live.

At this moment, Li Chen was simply thinking that Katrilan's bloodline must have come from other races, and perhaps learning more about it would be helpful in opening the passage to the world of myriad races in the future.

He was unaware that his trip would bring unexpected rewards.
