The Great Thief - Chapter 1523

Chapter 1523: 1523

After rummaging through two boxes, Solomon picked out a few potions and said, “These are not too valuable, but they should still be useful . Now, I believe I’ve fulfilled my end of the bargain . ”

What the hell!

Of course, they wouldn’t be valuable . ; he’d probably picked out the most common items for him . But what could Lu Li do? Even if he knew he wasn’t going to obtain anything valuable from Solomon, he could only blame the system . After all, there was no way the system would let Lu Li and his team obtain overpowered potions .

Lu Li doubted he could barter for more potions, so he took a glance at the two opened boxes and saw some formulas and materials that might be useful . “Those seem to be formulas, are they not? Since you didn’t give us many potions, I’m sure you wouldn’t mind us taking a few formulas?” Lu Li requested, carefully observing Solomon’s expression .

“These are supposed to go to base camp . ” Solomon hesitated .

“Chief!” Lu Li pressed on forcefully, “I had to gather five hundred of my brothers here, all of them risking the danger of being chased by the Lich . And none of them even had a drop of water to drink this morning . We’ve done all of this just to help you . ” The five hundred players had put away the drinks that were in their hands a moment ago, listening intently to Lu Li bargaining with the NPC .

“Look, I can’t give you any more potions but maybe I could give you some formulas . ” Solomon wiped off the sweat accumulating on his forehead, damn, even the battle with the Half Lich wasn’t as tiring as this . However, it was true that he did feel a little guilty . After all, he had only asked for two hundred people, and somehow Lu Li gave him more than double the amount of what he asked for . If he were to bring only two hundred people, then the battle wouldn’t have been so easily won .

“Materials are fine too,” Lu Li looked at the second box, there were no formulas in it, but a bunch of materials in plain sight . Lu Li was sure whatever materials that were important enough to be delivered personally by the Half Lich would be very valuable . With Ruling Sword’s recent prosperous growth, the demand for rare materials also grew exponentially .

“Well, the materials are supposed to be taken back for research,” Solomon squeaked . In the end, he succumbed to Lu Li’s pressuring and handed him a potion formula, and about four to five rare materials – since Solomon had multiple copies of a few of the materials, giving away one or two to Lu Li wasn’t going to impede on his camp’s research .

Fourteen potions, one formula and five materials, this mission probably had the greatest rewards Lu Li had ever received for a mission . However, the cost to complete it matched the rewards he received . After all, no regular missions required a five hundred player army .

“Dream, are you done looting? If everyone’s ready, we’ll get going,” Lu Li and the army immediately retreated after receiving his prize . Whether a Boss like Kel’Thuzad would come down to avenge the death of a Half Lich or not, staying in the heart of the Plaguelands was not ideal .

“I won’t be going with you . Whatever happens, I must protect these boxes,” Solomon said . What a typical thing for a noble to do . They might not be tyrants or hacks, but the idea of expecting them to risk their lives to fight with you was laughable .

The problem was, having all five hundred people leave the Plaguelands at once was impossible . Solomon thought the best way was to put the players into ten or so groups and leave the Plaguelands accordingly . He had no idea that players could use Hearthstones – it had only taken players ten seconds to teleport back to their base .

“It was a pleasure working with you,” Lu Li was finally able to catch a breath . He and Solomon were purely business partners . Lu Li had no desire of accepting missions such as escorting Solomon back to the safe zone and Solomon voice would also not voice such a request . He was, after all, a scout skilled in covering his tracks . He would rather travel by himself than have someone escort him . With the battlefield cleared, Lu Li and the five hundred other players vanished from the Plaguelands in an instant .

Kel’Thuzad might not personally come down for the death of a Half Lich, but he did send out a team of Death Knights to the scene of the crime . With the players vanished without a trace, all remaining clues left in the battlefield led to the still fleeing Solomon . He used every skill and every lesson taught at the academy to escape the pursuit of the Death Knights and reached the camp .

Lu Li had disbanded his team as well . The five hundred players he had with him did not require his compensation . They would be rewarded by the guild . Health potions are provided by the Guild, but armour repairs would still cost quite a bit . Remnant Dreams handed in all her loot to Lu Li . About a hundred or so coins which wasn’t bad; it was much more than what they got from the Instance Dungeon last time around at least . Two pieces of Golden Armour, one Dark Armour and an Epic Armour . Not quite as impressive, Lu Li could’ve easily looted three epics from a Boss in Black Wing’s Nest . However, considering a Half Lich like Anglish was only a regular Boss, Lu Li thought to himself that he probably shouldn’t have expected much at all .

The Golden Armour was unimportant, the Dark Armour could be put into the guild’s storage, and the Epic armour was usable . It was an extravagant staff, the Rage of Anglish, and had an interesting special effect — an attack skill could be stored into the staff, and the user could use the skill inconsequentially for two hours . The skill stored will disappear from the staff after two hours . Lu Li thought that this single effect the staff had greatly increased the weapon’s value . Unfortunately, Lu Li doubted that any mages from the Instance Dungeon teams would be interested in it . He would have to give it away to someone in his guild . It may be a decent weapon during Instance Dungeons, but it’d be legendary amongst casual players . However, the loot which interested Lu Li the most was a particular rare material he received – The Heart of the Lich!

Lu Li couldn’t believe that even a Half Lich would drop a Heart of the Lich . It was the kind of material that could only be dropped by proper Lich, and the percentage of obtaining it was infinitesimal; Lu Li couldn’t even get it when he fought Ras Frostwhisper .  The item description read – Heart of the Lich: a heart formed by fury, wreckage and madness . Anglish, who was finally able to become a Half Lich, had died in the hands of a bunch of ambushers— Of course, he’d be furious . He even sacrificed his own students just for immortality, that point alone made him mad enough . Not to mention that him being an NPC meant that he would not spawn ever again . Dropping a Heart of the Lich was probably one of the more meaningful contributions he’d made to his world .

Lu Li still had much to do . He needed to deliver the boxes for Solomon, but that was not a priority right now . Solomon was probably still being pursued anyway, and it was the last day of the week . There was no way Lu Li would skip the Instance Dungeon to fight Nefarian .
