Chapter 655: The Master purely appreciates beauty and has no intention of possession

Darya looked troubled: "But what capital do we have to move such a great figure? We have nothing."

Anastasia looked at Darya with a complex expression, as if wondering if she truly didn't understand or was just playing dumb, and finally whispered: "We still have ourselves."

Their greatest capital was the beauty bestowed by the heavens that had captivated countless men.

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

Meanwhile, in the courtyard on the other side, the Master Wu Erge played by Li Chen had indeed encountered a small "accident."

His original plan was that after demonstrating his ability to "cure" Grand Duke Andrei, Ye Kajielinna would hint to Vasily's wives and concubines, and they would naturally come to seek help.

Unexpectedly, before the plan had officially begun, that cold and beautiful woman named Katrilan, who possessed the bloodline of the Northern Elves, had taken the initiative to come to him.

She walked over gracefully, performing an extremely standard wizard's salute that even carried an ancient charm. Her voice was as cold as an ice spring, yet carried just the right amount of respect: "Katrilan pays respects to the great Sage. Within you flows a natural spiritual charm of the same origin as my distant ancestors, making one feel both close and in awe."

Li Chen's brows beneath the mask lifted slightly, feeling somewhat surprised.

This was his first time playing a Shaman wizard, and he didn't fully understand many of the rules and conventions. Could this elf bloodline actually sense the natural aura he was imitating? This was a new discovery.

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

He took the opportunity to inquire, wanting to extract more information about Shaman wizards from Katrilan to avoid exposing any flaws later.

Seeing that the Master seemed interested, Katrilan was secretly delighted and answered even more respectfully: "Reporting to the Master, my bloodline is thin and my perception weak, but the natural spiritual power surrounding you is pure and vast, like a walking ancestor of the forest. I could never sense it wrong. I wonder which lineage of the natural Dao the Master practices? Perhaps it has some connection to my ancestor's heritage?"

Li Chen responded vaguely while secretly pondering that this was a good opportunity to understand the Shaman cultivation system.

So Li Chen went with the flow and engaged in a deep conversation with Katrilan.

He deliberately focused the topic on the heritage of the Shaman system, the cultivation methods of different wizard schools, and the various incredible abilities possessed by legendary Great Wizards.

At the same time, he also asked with great interest about Katrilan's thin Northern Elf bloodline and the origins of her ancestors.

Seeing that this unfathomable Master was so interested in her heritage, Katrilan was even more excited and naturally told him everything she knew, her attitude extremely respectful.

She detailed how Northern Elf Shamans communicated with the spirits of ice, snow, and forests, how they drew ancient totems, how they chanted star-vault incantations inherited from ancestors, and even mentioned some secrets regarding bloodline tracing and soul sensing.

"According to the oldest songs of the tribe, our ancestors were not native to this world, but followed a Starry God who held the 'Scepter of Winter' and crossed the star sea to arrive here. Therefore, our bloodline contains a trace of the power of stars and extreme cold, but as time passed, it has long since become thin."

A trace of longing and regret appeared in Katrilan's eyes.

"My aptitude is dull, and I know only the surface. If the Master truly wishes to understand the essence of our tribe's Shaman Dao, I fear you would need to visit the tribe's sacred land in person. Perhaps the High Priest of the tribe could reveal more ancient secrets to you."

The two talked for a long time, but the atmosphere remained serious and focused. Their eyes were clear; they were purely discussing knowledge and heritage, without the slightest impropriety.

Just then, Lady Ye Kajielinna walked over gracefully. She had intended to "inspect" the progress and see how the "feelings" between Li Chen and the cold beauty Katrilan were developing, calculating whether she could facilitate a good outcome tonight. ===== CHAPTER 656 =====
