The Great Thief - Chapter 1144

Chapter 1144: 1144




One item was a skill book and the other was a rare scroll, but both were very valuable .

Now the problem was how they would divide it between them . If they were two strangers, then it would be simple as they could just roll for it . However, Lu Li and Water Fairy were at a point in their relationship where they obviously couldn't just roll for the item .

"If it weren't for you, I don't think I would have been able to reach this chest . You can take the items," Water Fairy said .

She felt that if she had just directly gone for the chest, something bad would have happened . If Lu Li wasn't there, she definitely would have just opened the chest . In fact, this is what 80% of Thieves would have done .

"I'll take the Skill Book then," Lu Li said . Although the Nirvana scroll was valuable, he already had the Darkmoon Card so he didn't really need it .

Of course, the value of Nirvana was not much less than Relentless Strikes .

Water Fairy hesitated for a moment before taking the Nirvana scroll . She was often attacked by others in the wild, and would also face assassination attempts . With this scroll, she would have a little more survivability .

This was also a gift given to her by Lu Li, which made her feel a little strange .

This Treasure Chest was also incidental to what they were trying to do . If you wanted to enter the Fahrad estate, you had to face this chest and make the correct response . Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see Master Fahrad .

This test set up by Fahrad was called the 'Deceitful Ceremony' .

The Deceitful Ceremony was to specifically test Thieves that had arrived at this location and were faced with the unknown chest . Many Thieves would just open the chest and either be killed by the monster or fail the quest . If they wanted to continue, they would still have to die at least once . There were no situations where the Thief didn't lose something .

But why did no one warn the later players?

The players who had already lost something reasoned that everyone else might as lose something too . Why would any player freely tell another player about their hard-earned lessons? They didn't want to be the only ones to suffer…

It was only quite some time later that someone would write a forum post about this which Lu Li had read .

When you approached the manor gate, there was another test . However, this test was quite unusual, as no one had ever given an incorrect answer to this question, no matter what they said .

The old man at the door would ask the question, "Is a Thief evil? Why?"

Lu Li had been thinking about this for a long time . He had also thought about this in his previous life . It wasn't as though he was better; he still shamelessly took any equipment that he could .

After playing Thief in this life, he could consider this issue from a more personal perspective .



Firstly, he didn't think that a Thief was a particularly sacred or just profession – that spot was reserved for the Paladin or the Priest . However, he didn't think that the Thief was evil either . No one would think of him as evil because of what he was, but rather because of what he did .


Finally, Lu Li responded by saying that the Thief's profession was unattractive to some, but justice and evil were things that could be found within the profession themselves .

This was a satisfactory answer . Water Fairy responded similarly but added an extra sentence . She felt that the Thief represented the dark side of the players' hearts .

The old man didn't react at all, and just opened the door . He let Lu Li and Water Fairy enter, and told them that Fahrad was waiting for them next to the fountain in the center of the manor .

There were many flowers and plants in the manor . There were some that Lu Li could recognize, but there were others that he had never seen before .

It wasn't clear what Fahrad's expertise was in, but it seemed to be related to alchemy or some kind of poison production . Currently, there were ordinary poisons sold in some stores, but high-end poisons still required alchemists to produce them .

Lu Li was still carrying the helmet that could detect traps, and could sense that there were traps everywhere in the garden . If the old man wasn't leading the way, it would have been a very difficult trip .

This was the home of a Master Thief, so it made sense that it was set up like a wolf's den .



Fahrad herself looked quite young and wasn't shrouded in a cloak like Lu Li's mentor . Her beauty gave the impression that the designer had poured their life into this design .

There was no doubt that Blood Elves were rarely ugly . In reality, the ugly girls that chose this profession had also improved their looks .

However, what was even more eye-catching was the sense of purity to Fahrad . It was like she was a princess who had never seen the outside world but from her glass tower .

As she stood in front of the mountain, the ripples of the water produced a gorgeous rainbow around her, giving a holy aura to her presence .

If the old man didn't refer to her by Fahrad, no one would think that this was Fahrad, the Grand Master Thief of the legends . Most wouldn't doubt it if they were told that this person was a Priest .

"We are some adventurers from the Assassins League . I heard that you are collecting some heavy waste bins for research . I'm not sure if we have the privilege to help you," Lu Li looked down and greeted her respectfully .

Water Fairy looked at Fahrad, then immediately turned to Lu Li .

She saw the look of surprise on Lu Li's face, but found that he had quickly scanned over Fahrad's body . Lu Li hadn't fixated his eyes on any particular part of Fahrad's body .

Water Fairy wasn't sure if this meant that Lu Li was just completely unaffected or if he was a man of discipline .

Ultimately, she was satisfied with her partner's performance .

Any woman was afraid of being compared with . This was a female instinct that was given to her when God created her . The more beautiful the woman, the more concerned she would be with this issue .

"Oh, it was a failed experiment . I haven't studied those bins for a few days now . "

Fahrad's voice was not as charming or soft as her appearance . It was a little hoarse and she spoke a little bluntly, like someone who had suddenly started speaking after remaining silent for a while .

"Have you already given up on this research?" Lu Li asked .

"Of course not . Those seemingly useless heavy bins might be able to teach me some other things . Right now, I lack the fund to continue research," Fahrad said regretfully .

Her beauty in expressing her regret was so great that some players would immediately resolve to do anything they could to solve her problems .

This was the reason why the game had decided to make Fahrad's model so beautiful . If it was an elderly lady covered in a cloak, the players probably wouldn't be so willing to pay .

Lu Li's heart was repulsed at the shamelessness of the System . It was obvious what this NPC was trying to get at, as much as he didn't like it .

Obviously, she wanted them to pay!
