Chapter 249 As the sun began to set, soft sunlight penetrated through the gaps of the trees and onto the green grass, illuminating it like a beautiful gem .
Collectors who admired this beautiful sight gathered wild plants and flowers, but as soon as they left the Moonlight Forest, the plants and flowers lost their charm . This was the Moonlight Forest; the closest place to the world of Emerald Dreams . “Child, how long have you been waiting? It must’ve been boring,” said a man with the body of a deer and a pair of long antlers . He shook his head to the left and right as he stood up from the ground . “Not for long; I was listening to the whispers of the wind as it blew past the treetops . ” Lu Li returned to his human form as he exchanged formalities in the elven way . “You’re a thief,” Remulos was surprised as he spoke . “I thought you were a druid . ” “I occasionally study the ways of nature,” Lu Li replied, trying his best to build a connection . Trying to connect with Remulos through Carolina was clearly an unrealistic choice . Remulos was the grandchild of Elune while Carolina was only a servant to Elune . Of course, this was only an analogy . “This must be the work of a Moon Priestess . It would be hard for you to tread in the Moonlight Forest otherwise,” Remulos reasoned, as he pointed at the mark on Lu Li’s shoulder . “I received her help in order to come here and seek advice about this ring . ” “Oh, what do I see here?” Remulos finally began to see Lu Li in a new light; he took a step forward to take a closer look at the ring .
“Do you know how to make the ring grow stronger?” Lu Li asked . “Possibly . I once followed a demigod and happen to have some knowledge about rings . ” With his twig-like fingers, Remulos carefully poked at the Supreme Ring, which radiated a green light . He’s not going to rob me, is he? Lu Li was slightly anxious as he looked at Remulos’ expression . Luckily, Remulos had no intention of taking the ring; he was only amazed by it as he spoke, “Surprisingly, it’s been levelled up twice – once by the Twilight Altar and the other by the Altar of Tides . You have been very fortunate . ” “Thank you for your praises; all glory to Elune,” Lu Li humbly replied . “However, the Twilight Altar wasn’t complete and the Altar of Tides was too crude . Thank goodness you’ve slain many evil spirits, or else it would be hard to imagine what would become of this ring . ” After a quick change in the topic, Remulos continued in a pitiful manner . Lu Li felt a chill of disappointment as his emotions bubbled over in his heart . “Pardon me, if I were to compare this ring to Malfurion’s ring……” “Haha…… That would be a great difference to compare . What the Archdruid received was the inheritance of nature; he also eliminated countless demons . ” Remulos seemed to find this funny and rose his head in laughter .
“So, it was wrong from the beginning,” Lu Li said in dismay . “No, no, you’re looking at this from the wrong perspective; you’ve already managed to surprise me with what you’ve achieved in your current state . Everyone has a different path to walk, child . There is really no need for you to compare yourself with those who are born to be great,” Remulos gently said as he smiled .
“It will only make you lose sight of the path that’s ahead of you . ” “Then, what should I do next?” Lu Li was quick to pick his emotions back up . After his rebirth, he had walked this path step by step; he had given his all for the Supreme Ring . As long as one tries their best, there’s no need to be disheartened, even if the outcome isn’t perfect . Remulos was very satisfied with Lu Li’s behaviour; he nodded his head and asked, “Before I give you any ideas, I’d like to first understand; what have you acquired so far from this ring?” “I can transform into a seal, I’ve dove deep into the abyss to slay Illidan’s shadow, I can transform into a child of the forest……” “Child of the forest? You must be referring to your previous form in the beginning . It looked so realistic that it fooled me into thinking you were a druid . ” Remulos shook the tail of his deer body and spoke in a gentle manner .
“When I transformed into a child of the forest, I learned to move in stealth . I’ve also learnt Stampeding Roar and the ring has also improved my stealth abilities . ” Lu Li was very honest and didn’t mind displaying his strength to the druid . “This is indeed the most suitable pathway for you,” Remulos approved . “I’m also capable of flying . ” Lu Li thought for a bit and transformed into a crow . This time, Remulos didn’t continue to compliment Lu Li but circled him repeatedly, obviously astonished by the dark red crow . “Transform back, transform back . Let’s keep talking . ” Lu Li followed his instructions and went back into his human form . “No, we’ll both transform to this,” Remulos said as he transformed into a child of the forest – a little, golden cheetah, slightly bigger than Lu Li and with many inscriptions on his body . These were markings that belonged to the Keepers of the Grove and allowed them to unleash great power while inside the forest . Two cheetahs crouched together as they chattered away . If it wasn’t for the fact that Lu Li had already interacted with this guy in his previous life, he would’ve viewed Remulos as a joke . “Overall, even though some of this ring’s potential has been wasted, there is no doubt that it suits you . You’ve done well, now, what new abilities are you hoping to gain next?” Remulos asked . The ring is designable? Lu Li was shocked . At this point in time, his experience from his previous life was no longer helpful . Azure Sea Breeze was also not a source of information he could refer to . Although he had spent two to three years upgrading the ring, he had never reached this stage . “Don’t just stand there . Don’t you have any attributes or special effects that you want? Even profession skills are fine, but of course, these are limited to skills from the Druid profession . ” Remulos’ voice was laced with temptation . “Anything?” Lu Li found it unbelievable . “Almost anything . There are still somethings that are unachievable . For example, if you want to turn into a girl, or if you want to kill Sargeras with one strike, I can’t help you with that,” Remulos replied, as a grin slowly crept across his face . “I only wish to make this ring more suitable for my Thief profession . ” This was truly Lu Li’s only goal . He wasn’t a bugged NPC created by the system who could play multiple classes . Neither did he feel like he was supposed to have anything that he wanted just because he had been reincarnated . He barely had enough skill points and he had also learned a precious lesson from those hidden classes . It was hard to focus and excel when there was too much going on at once . “That’s a real shame . It’s definitely possible for you to become a Ranger, or a Druid,” Remulos sighed as Lu Li figured out his intentions . “I tread in the shadows, but I will never bow down to evil,” Lu Li replied carefully . He wasn’t scared of being killed – he was a player and could revive . He was only afraid of angering Remulos and having him steal his ring . The ‘unable to drop, unable to destroy’ description meant nothing to a bugged NPC . “Yes, you have a courageous and righteous spirit, otherwise, there was no way that the Moon Priestess would favor you . Come, let me show you the way to upgrade this ring and as you wish, it will help you master the shadows,” Remulos, the Keeper of the Grove said .
