Chapter 1643: Bleeding Heart

After he got the 4th chapter, Lu Li immediately started to analyse information regarding the 5th chapter.

The information about the 5th chapter was a lot simpler. It was said that it was tossed near the Royal Library; it seemed as though it had been picked up by a librarian.

Stormwind City was Lu Li’s home ground. He didn’t have to be scared, like he was in Undercity. He could strut into the Royal Library. The guards at the entrance even smiled and nodded at him in acknowledgment.

His reputation in Stormwind City was well regarded, and he was considered as a prestigious figure

The many First Clears that he had achieved led Lu Li to accumulate many titles. These types of titles were more respected by militant soldiers.

Moreover, he still had a military rank.

 “Good day dear warriors. May I ask which people in our library have purple hair?”

Lu Li was about to go in until he reversed a few steps and asked the soldiers at the entrance.

 “Commanding Officer, there are three people with purple hair. One of them is the Deputy Library Manager; he is a purple-haired mage. It might be more difficult if you’re looking for him since he’s gone to Dalaran. Of the remaining two, one is Mr. Dor, who is a repairing master. He spends most of his time in the underground experiment lab as a part of his responsibilities to repair books. Karyn is an employee of the library, and has served there for over a decade.”

There were three people. He could eliminate the deputy library manager since he had gone to Dalaran.

Secondly, was Mr. Dor the repairing master. He sounded like a typical homebody so there was no way, since he barely ventured outside. The one with the highest possibility was Karyn.

“So where can this Karyn be found right now?” Lu Li asked.

“It’s lunch break now so she should have gone to the bakery. It’s her usual habit; she should be back in a bit,” the guard answered.

Since this was the case, Lu Li might as well keep waiting here.

He didn’t have anything else to do, so he just chatted with the guards. He wasn’t expecting to gain any quests out of the conversation, but at least he could kill time.

He found that even though these were ordinary soldiers, they had a well-sharpened intellect.

Lu Li even got to know about one guard’s family. According to his explanation, he was of a noble background – he was the son of a minor aristocrat who had no inheritance right, and once ventured into the mainland using his mercenary identity, then enlisted into the army of Stormwind City.

Then, he discharged from military and returned to the fields. However, he was unsatisfied with the boredom of life so he came back to Stormwind City and joined the army.

His wife used to manage a florist, and he also had a son who was studying at the school in Stormwind City. He planned for his son to become a well-respected Mage.

Did the game designer even design a whole identity, background, family and marriage for such an insignificant guard? Then was a massive project in and of itself. This was something that Lu Li had never thought about before.

It felt as though it was a real world here.

While they were chatting, Karyn had already returned and the guard introduced her to him. “This is Commander Lu Li. He seems to be looking for you.”

Karyn wasn’t an important character, so as soon as she heard that Lu Li was some sort of Commander, she immediately grew nervous.

“How can I help you? I’m just a library employee, the most insignificant figure in Stormwind City.”

“Have you picked up a book recently? The really tattered type?” Lu Li asked directly.

As such, Lu Li received the 5th chapter of “Draconic for Dummies” from Karyn’s hands.

The rest of the three remnant chapters were in Instance Dungeons. Onyxia picked up this elementary level course and left it aside after losing interest. She was the most noble type of Dragon princess, so there was no way she couldn’t understand such superficial content.

However, this superficial course brought her unnecessary trouble.

Lu Li brought his guild members here and ravaged her again.

The 7th chapter spelled death for the Boss of Blackwing’s Nest – Fillmore. He didn’t even know which idiot had brought this stupid book back. He didn’t do anything to provoke anyone, yet disaster fell from the sky.

The 8th chapter fell into the hands of Ragnaros the Firelord of the Molten Core.

The Firelord had immense power, but he didn’t know Draconic. As such, once he found this remnant copy, he became enthusiastically determined to master the language. Unfortunately, this was only a remnant copy. Hence, the Blackrock Monsters received the quest of helping him find the other remnants.

If this time period’s players and Blackrock Monsters could establish communication, then they could receive similar quests.

Unfortunately, before he could even learn a few lines of Draconic, the man who took his First Clear brought men with him and returned.

Not only did he slay the Firelord, but he also took away his 8th chapter of “Draconic for Dummies”.

Once he got the 8th remnant chapter, Lu Li put the whole book together using the front page of “Draconic for Dummies”.

“Woah, I can’t believe you actually found them all. If it were me, I would’ve given up by now,” Narain said in disbelief.

“Everything is for Azeroth!” Lu Li was like a gentleman with a dignified outlook.

“I, Narain, am happy to offer you my services. I’ve got it all covered.”

Even shameless little people could be touched.

“Then, I leave it in your capable hands,” Lu Li replied.

This quest was competed over so many days to the point that Lu Li was annoyed with it.

 “Okay, it’s taken slightly longer than the anticipated time. Now let me see what this ledger says.”

Narain finally learnt Draconic and began to read the ledger. After a while, he raised his head.

“So, the good news is that I am 99% sure that I can make you an Arcanite Buoy. Of course, there is bad news too. The bad news is that I’m going to need large amounts of Arcanite, Elementium Ore, and also some precious gems…”

Lu Li grabbed the list that Narain had written, and nearly fainted.

Before the quest began, he had already dealt with collecting materials, but to do it again?!

Plus, the things needed this time were way too valuable.

If it was anyone else, they probably would have stopped the quest here. After all, not everyone could easily provide a large pile of valuable materials. Just for completing one mission, Lu Li was already feeling his heart bleeding, despite having saved so much.

200 Arcanite!

100 Elementium Ore!

100 Azethorian Diamonds!

100 Exquisite Sapphires!
