The Great Thief - Chapter 1520

Chapter 1520: 1520

The purple canopy of the sky was dimmer than usual, telling everyone that it was not yet dawn over the Plaguelands . However, Lu Li and those few with him knew that the time was soon coming . Therefore, Lu Li’s promised forces needed to quickly take their places in order to be prepared for the coming battle .

“Rice Ball, open the portal!” Lu Li commanded, nodding his head .

Suddenly, a portal opened in a remote corner and more and more adventurers emerged from the portal .

“500 players . Is that enough?” Lu Li sounded like he had 500 more for Solomon . This frightened Solomon, who repeatedly waved his hand . “It’s enough, it’s enough . We don’t have much time . We need to retreat as soon as we possess the box of potions . If we get discovered by Scourge’s overhead units then we won’t be able to escape . ”

“Hopefully there aren’t any exceptionally powerful enemies . ” Lu Li prayed . Forget about all the people he brought — there’d be trouble if they faced a boss . During event season in the Plaguelands, any boss would be as strong as the best wild bosses and there was also a time limit on top of that .

“Don’t worry, if there are any strong enemies, I would’ve already known of any yesterday . At worst, there will be a Lich . It could even be a bit more powerful than me . However, I’m not really suited to do any hands-on fighting,” Solomon said, feigning self-confidence .

Even if Solomon was a hot-blooded aristocrat who wanted to quickly achieve more accolades, Lu Li knew that his so-called scout party yesterday was actually done by himself . As a result, Lu Li relaxed a little .

Solomon thought it would be one whose power was like that of a normal boss, and even probably on the weaker side at that . With Lu Li added in, dealing with a normal Boss wouldn’t be too much of a problem . Lu Li, having brought many people with him also wouldn’t have a problem clearing up small monsters .

If there was a boss, the rewards wouldn’t just be potions; due to the seasonal event in Plaguelands, the boss might drop good loot as well .

Many players assembled together and killed some Elite Stitch-type monsters around the perimeter . There was a chance of dropping Dark Gold armour – one of the benefits of the event season . Once the ‘Spreading Plague’ event has ended, there wouldn’t be any more of good drops .

“Wait a bit, then as soon as we cross the bridge, we will engage the enemy . Deep Watersong, you will need to Taunt the Lich . Best Friend, get ready to taunt any other relatively fierce and strong enemies . Teams 1 to 20, lay low on the left side of the bridge . Teams 21 to 40, ambush from the right . Magicians and healers, station by the hill . ”

Lu LI rapidly barked out orders and commanded his army, which really changed Solomon’s impression of him .

“What do I do then?” Solomon asked .

Solomon felt that with this sort of arrangement, they would pretty much be able to defeat a Lich at his level of strength .

“Um, sir, if we need you later, we will tell you . Right now, you and I can just stand by and watch . ” Lu Li couldn’t really say much else . Solomon was a thief, a role which was considered relatively easy to kill . It’d be troublesome if Solomon was unlikely killed by a Lich .

A caravan leisurely rode up to the bridge . In the dim first rays of the morning sun, it looked to everyone like specks of Underlight .

That was the spirit fire of the Undead . The Undead horses were pulling the carriage with various Undead guards following them .

There were 4 vehicles in total . It felt like they were from the Hinterlands of the Plaguelands, so there weren’t many Undead with them . There was a seat installed on top of the last vehicle and someone was sitting on it, holding a magic bone staff . The staff sparkled like jade, which grabbed people’s attention .

A Lich!

During the time when Ner’zhul was the chief of the Draenor Horde, he once commanded many orcs, warlock and shamans to offer sacrifices .

Later, after the Draenor were exterminated, Kil’jaeden and his forces got hold of these evil creatures and turned them into twisted egos . They were the Lich, and they had extremely powerful magic and their immortal Undead bodies were controlled by Ner’zhul’s will .

As such, the Lich displayed unwavering loyalty to their masters, and Ner’zhul imbued in them the essence of the Cold North . With their evil and enormous power, the Lich pledged their loyalty to their masters . When their great masters were too busy, they often acted as generals and representatives to command all their caravans .

The bodies of the Lich were deeply wrapped with the cold, dark power of the grave . They could use ice and frost magic with ease, as well as their natural ability of using spirit spells .

They abandoned the frail human body of this world for an eternal, undying body .

They would crave power, treachery and evil; they liked gorgeous scenery and they crafty schemes . They often wore the clothes of kings or priests, and had their subordinates address them with a powerful name .

Sometimes, the Lich would declare that Ner’zhul himself was directly endowing on them with abnormal power . They acted as if Ner’zhul was a god, and they were god-chosen priests and prophets .

Just like the enemy in front of them, he didn’t only have a magnificent magic staff . He had clothes that were also particularly exquisite; the top was adorned with a number of gems . And on top of his head, sat a crown . If that crown were to be shown public, there would definitely be many greedy mages who would be willing to give up everything to have it .

In order to maintain this level of luxury, the Lich would often start battles against cities and towns of the living; they were like a Wyrm storing up their treasure .

Of course, not all Lich were powerful enough to cause massive destruction . The number of Lich had increased to expand the territory of the Scourge . Some might assume personal command and others may carry out special quests as their master’s representative .

If the stitched monsters of the Plaguelands were feared by all, then when a normal player saw a Lich, they’d simply run away .

The event, ‘Spreading Plague’, was a battle between NPCs . However, players would still follow the fight to pick up leftover loot .

This Lich’s name was Anglish . Lu Li didn’t know where he came from and Solomon was equally clueless .

Anglish actually used to be a magic teacher in Dalaran . When he was 30, he was a strong intermediate magic teacher, and remained as such until he was 60 . The old magic teacher had seemed to have almost given up hope on achieving great power .

He knew that as he aged his physical ability, memory and other parts of himself were weakening .

The God of Death had already touched him and left behind lines of wrinkles .

Anglish was cowardly and weak but he was also addicted to the world of magic . He knew that he was facing death, but he did not resign to it . He felt like he was on a spiritual journey, standing in front of a door . All he needed to do was push open the door and there’d be another world .

After a long time searching for answers, Anglish placed his hopes on Kel’Thuzad . Kel’Thuzad was a great mage, with much greater achievements than Anglish, and provided proof for another road humans could take .

However, transforming into a Lich wasn’t an easy task .  It was like a promotion for an Undead mage . If it weren’t for a powerful person like Ner’zhul, Alsace or Kel’Thuzad who could offer it, then it would be impossible to transform .

At the time, Anglish was still teaching a dozen or so students . He betrayed his own students and sold their magic and souls to Kel’Thuzad .

It was by that time, that some might consider him mentally deranged .

Kel’Thuzad placed a spell on Anglish and performed a transformation ritual, transforming Anglish into a Half Lich .
