Chapter 678: Zaetar

Water Fairy didn't usually laugh like that, but it was a very nice laugh. Her smile was undoubtedly very beautiful, but Lu Li didn't know how to cherish this rare beauty.

He waved at the hostess who put down the cup she was wiping and came over.

"Do you want a glass of ale too?" the hostess asked with a gentle smile. She wasn't surprised to see Water Fairy and Lu Li sitting together.

"Thanks, but I don't drink in the morning. Do you have other drinks?" Water Fairy rejected the hostess' offer for the ale. She was a little arrogant and didn't order ale every time like Lu Li just to better their relationship.

The ale was decent, but it was still a cheap drink and having it too often would make you sick of it.

"That's fine. I recommend Stonard's Herbal Tea. It's my favorite drink," the hostess suggested, then continued, "The tea tastes quite good and its fragrance can mask the smell of blood…"

Water Fairy's eyes lit up.

"Alright, that sounds good."

If you played PVP, no matter how beautiful or ugly you were, you would be covered in blood. No one wanted to have blood stains on their clothes or the smell lingering around them.

Moreover, a sense of smell was needed for perception. Your Detection would drop by quite a bit if you turned it off, so most players didn't dare to do so.

If such a drink existed, then Water Fairy wouldn't refuse. She even asked the hostess if there was some she could take away. She intended to buy more and store it so she wouldn't have to worry about the unpleasant smell any more.

"We would both like to be sent out. Do you have any quests?" Lu Li interjected.

"Wait don't worry about that for now," Water Fairy interrupted, then continued, "You are an expert in botany. Is there anything that can help remove the smell?"

There was no such thing as perfume in the game. After all, the alchemists weren't able to make their own advanced recipes.

"Of course – there are many plants that do this," the Hostess said. She didn't have a chance to address Lu Li's concerns and was already talking about the possibility of making a perfume with Water Fairy.

"Keke…" Lu Li hadn't said much in the conversation but he couldn't help but eventually ask, "Wouldn't a Thief be asking for it if they smelled good?"

Water Fairy: …

Hostess: …

It was true that a Thief's top priority was to hide themselves. It was best that no one could find where they were and if they smelled fragrant, they might bring about their own destruction.

This ended the topic and Water Fairy went back to her cold goddess self. It was like she had never been teased before.

The hostess brought the drink to Water Fairy and handed Lu Li the quest that he had asked for. There weren't many customers here and they were sitting quite far away, so the hostess didn't need to avoid anyone.

Quest; Zaetar's Soul.

In the depths of Maraudon, there was an evil and chaotic creature – Princess Theradras. She was associated with the ancient Gods and she came together a long time ago with Cenarius' eldest son, Zaetar. Their descendants were the centaurs that killed Zaetar and imprisoned his soul.

Their quest was to kill Theradras and bring back Zaetar's soul.

"Is this an Instance Dungeon quest?" Lu Li asked with a frown.

Although it wasn't going to be as challenging as last time, this quest still wasn't going to be simple. Maraudon was a level 40 Instance Dungeon with eight Bosses. There was little hope for just Lu Li and Water Fairy to complete it alone.

"That is correct, but you can enlist other powerful adventurers," the hostess casually explained as she ate some pastries.

It appeared that she had a better understanding of this quest, unlike the previous one.

"Will the quest provide the Instance Dungeon Scroll? What difficulty will it be on?" Lu Li asked.

"You can have it. You're supposed to buy it, but since we're so familiar you can have them for free," the hostess shrugged, then threw a piece of sheepskin in front of Lu Li.

Lu Li picked up the scroll and unfurled it so that he could read it.

Unexpectedly, it was an Instance Dungeon Scroll for Maraudon at Nightmare difficulty. It allowed five players to enter this private Instance Dungeon.

Lu Li carefully put the scroll away and continued to ask, "Thank you for your generosity, but I'm curious to know why the organization wants to obtain Zaetar's soul?"

He had to clarify because he was afraid that Ravenholdt Manor was planning to do something evil with Zaetar's soul.

The ring he wore came from Cenarius and although he hadn't seen the God himself, Lu Li's growth was inseparable from the ring. He couldn't bring himself to harm his son.

That's right – Zaetar was one of the Cenarius' sons.

One of Cenarius' sons would become the new owner of the Moonlight Forest and the Cenarion Circle. This was the Remulos the Keeper of the Grove who guided Lu Li to upgrade his ring. The other had combined with the Earth Princess Therdras.

As a result, their children didn't inherit the power of nature, but instead inherited the violent strength of the earth which resulted in them killing their own father. These were the centaurs.

Now, the earth princess stayed with her husband's body in Maraudon.

Some believed that Princess Theradras trapped Zaetar's soul and hid it to use its energy for some secret purpose.

"This…"

The Hostess didn't understand why Lu Li would ask this.

Members of the League of Assassins usually just did their quests and never asked why. If it wasn't for the fact that this Ravenholdt Manor's ambassador had a good relationship with Lu Li, they might even have fallen out.

"I have obtained the approval of Cenarius' will and had the privilege of seeing the Keeper of the Grove Remulous," Lu Li explained as he turned his finer to reveal the ring. He believed that Water Fairy would keep that information to herself.

After seeing the ring and thinking about its origins, the Hostess suddenly shook her head.

"You misunderstand. There is someone in the organization that wants to talk to Zaetar; no one wants to hurt him. After their conversation, you can take him away, regardless of the outcome."

"Thank you very much, but I would like to talk to Remulos before completing this quest," Lu Li insisted.

This small faction was very important to him, but it was nothing compared to the Supreme ring. For the Supreme Ring, Lu Li was even willing to betray Ravenholdt Manor.

Moreover, he didn't want to face the serious consequence of betraying the owners of the ring.

Although Zaetar was a little pitiful, his father was the Demigod Cenarius, his brother was the Keeper of the Grove Remulos and his grandmother was the even more mysterious Moon Goddess Elune…
