Chapter 890: A Cloak

Now that their Boss had fallen, the other minions were naturally disorientated.

These monsters were all at least level 40, and some of them were already level 50. Lu Li and Water Fairy weren’t necessarily able to defeat them all, so they calmly retreated instead.

The process of finishing the quest was simple – they just needed to head to Southshore and talk to the hostess.

The rewards for this quest were bountiful indeed. Water Fairy received three Strengthening Stones, along with a great amount of EXP and Reputation.

As the person who shared the quest, Lu Li only received EXP and Reputation, but it wasn’t as much as what Water Fairy had received. Even so, he was satisfied anyway as it hadn’t taken much time or effort.

The Ravenholdt Manor was an assassin organization whose main business was to assassinate people.

As long as you were willing, you could receive plenty of assassination quests. Some were to kill bandits like Caliph Scorpidsting, while others were to kill businessmen and were generally funded by their competitors. There were even some quest to kill military officers.

The last one was often the most worthwhile, and would award Epic PVP equipment.

Of course, assassinating an officer was difficult. Even if a group of Thieves worked together, their chances of success would not exceed 10%.

Water Fairy gave Lu Li a Strengthening Stone, and when he saw that she insisted, he happily accepted it.

In fact, the actual value of a Strengthening Stone for players at their level was not much, but it was the thought that counted.

After they completed the quest, both Lu Li and Water Fairy went back to Darnassus through the Teleportation Channel. Soon afterwards, they saw a large group of people pointing in a direction. When Lu Li glanced over, he was speechless.

He knew the person at the center of attention, and it none other than Wandering.

Wandering would turn heads normally, but now that he was carrying a flaming sword at his waist, it seemed like he had come out of a fictional movie.

From time to time, someone would come forward to ask what it was and where it was dropped.

“Isn’t that Wandering from your party? Where did he get that weapon?”

Even Water Fairy was interested in the weapon.

The players around were like animals crowding around him. Everyone liked good items, especially those that looked good too.

“It’s called Teebu’s Blazing Longsword. There are monsters by the Stratholme’s blacksmith that mostly drop rubbish, but they can drop this item too. Don’t expect too much though – if you’re unlucky, you could probably spend half a year there without getting it,” Lu Li explained, not bothering to hide the information.

This was considered a big secret and Water Fairy recognized its value. She looked at Wandering and saw that he was obviously not telling the truth.

“Thank you. I will try it later,” Water Fairy said gratefully.

“You’re welcome.”

Lu Li didn’t care much for it. Teebu’s Blazing Longsword was mostly for aesthetic purposes, so giving up the secret didn’t affect him. There were so many little secrets that the players could find in Dawn.

“Oh yeah, you’re attending the marathon right?” Water Fairy suddenly asked.

“Yep, are you going to join as well?”

“Nope. I heard of people in my guild joining though, but since you’re participating, you’re probably going to win.”

“I don’t know for sure, but I will definitely try.”

“Druid is just too strong for this competition, which makes it hard for the other professions, but I guess you’re an exception,” Water Fairy said, then began listing off Lu Li’s advantages, “You can fly, and turn into a leopard…You have child of the forest…”

Lu Li was actually a little entranced by Water Fairy’s white slender fingers.

Even people who were slow and ignorant would be attracted to the opposite sex after they reach a certain age, just purely out of instinct.

Unconsciously, Lu Li’s gaze towards Water Fairy had been accompanied with a look of awe that was slowly building over time.

“What’s wrong?” Water Fairy had said something, but didn’t get a response, so she curiously gave Lu Li a push.

“Nothing. I was thinking about something.”

Water Fairy was a little upset when she heard that. This man was too much. He didn’t listen to her when she was talking and could even get distracted while walking with her. She had never experienced this before with anyone else, but it was commonplace with Lu Li.

“Although you have so many advantages, I have heard that Innocent Child is predicted to win the championship,” Water Fairy said.

“That’s normal. Everyone has a different way of evaluating who will win the championship,” Lu Li responded indifferently. While Innocent Child thought he could win, this wasn’t necessarily true.

“He has a skill or special effect with a very short cooldown. It’s something that gives him bonus speed in Leopard form. He has the same Leopard Transformation as you, and he can also fly, but the distance is limited.”

These were all secrets – how did the female tycoon know about this?

Lu Li was finally paying attention. If he had a way of accelerating the Child of the Forest Leopard Transformation, then he could run slightly faster than Lu Li. And when had Innocent Child learned to fly?

As far as Lu Li knew, Hachi Chan was the only other player who could fly.

However, this was still entirely possible as Dawn was such a big game with so many opportunities. He has been on so many adventures, so he could barely begin to imagine what the other players had experienced.

“What advice do you have?” Lu Li asked. He knew that the female tycoon wouldn’t talk about this for no reason.

“I have a cloak that I can lend to you,” the female tycoon offered. During the Shadow Cup, Lu Li had defeated Glory Capital by relying on equipment borrowed from Water Fairy and had become the champion.

“What are the conditions?” Lu Li asked.

“Do I seem like the kind of person to fuss over small matters like this?” Water Fairy gave him an irritated look.

“Alright, lend it to me and I’ll give it back later,” Lu Li gratefully said. This was no small matter – after all, it involved a very good Epic item.

Even if Water Fairy said that there were conditions, Lu Li still needed to repay her if he got the chance.

It was one thing for him to ask for it, and another thing for her to offer something anyway.

Lu Li actually thought that Water Fairy would ask for the Stratholme strategy. Even though their guild’s Main Tank was at a relatively low level, there was still hope of defeating several of the Bosses at Elite difficulty.

Water Fairy directly traded the cloak to Lu Li.

It was white and very soft in his hands, but his first impression was that it was useless. After all, a Thief needed to have a very low-key style.
