The Great Thief - Chapter 328

Chapter 328
Most people who had joined the guild did it for the benefits, but anyone with half a brain knew that


nothing was for free . They couldn’t hope to gain anything before they had done work for the guild .
However, Ruling Sword was different . Not only were they the Champion’s guild, but their first event was
also very generous .
It was normal for the guild to set up guild quests as this was the way to grow the guild . However, no one
would ever set six Silver equips as the reward .
Square Root 3 didn’t even have to do anything to mobilize the members . The thousands of members
called on their friends and quickly formed parties . They then rushed into the Mercenary Hall to apply for
guild quests . The streets were filled with Ruling Sword members rushing about; it was a sight that easily
made the other guilds jealous .
For a guild to reach level 2, a certain number of completed quests and a certain amount of material was
required .
The former required manpower while the later required financial resources .
The money that Lu Li had earned from the Shadow Cup was almost entirely spent on the guild .
Moonlight and March Rain did the same thing and collectively, they had devoted about 5-6 million . This
money was the result of their club and they didn’t really mind parting with it .
As such, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had both the manpower and the financial resources .
According to Square Root 3’s estimates, if things went smoothly, the guild could reach at least level 15 in
two weeks . After all, the players’ levels were quite high and they could complete the quests relatively


quickly .
When he saw that there wasn’t much time left in the day, Lu Li escorted his sister offline .
However, the little girl was confused about the day and night system, and yelled about finishing her
quest . She wanted to contribute as well, so Lu Li made sure to watch over her . He didn’t want her to
stray from the safe areas .
The next day, Lu Li fully entrusted the guild to Square Root 3, intending to bring the old Xin Xin
Mercenary Group to do an Instance Dungeon .
He completely disregarded Square Root 3’s protests .
After all, they had invited him to manage the guild . He was already receiving such a high salary, so what
else would he want to do?
Lu Li had not yet planned to go to the Scarlet Monastery . Although it could be accessed at level 25, it
was a level 30 Instance Dungeon . The mobs within it were all around level 30 .
Instead, he first went to see the Keeper of the Grove Remulos in the Moonlight Forest . Now that he
knew how to further upgrade his Supreme Ring, he acquired a quest from Remulos .
It was to complete the Blackfathom Instance Dungeon at nightmare difficulty .
Blackfathom could be accessed at level 20, but was a level 25 Instance Dungeon . There were six Bosses
within it that ranged from level 25 to 30 .
The Nightmare difficulty unimaginable, but Lu Li didn’t plan to waste his time .
He was familiar with Blackfathom’s terrain . In his past life, when Azure Sea Breeze was desperately


hunting down upgrades for the Supreme Ring, Wandering had taken him into Blackfathom .
The complex underground passages offered some natural protection and Lu Li had also given him
several supplies for his journey .
With regards to the Blackfathom Instance Dungeon, Lu Li had never seen it before . However, he had
seen the general strategy for it on the forums, which gave him some advantage over the newly-arrived

ordinary players .
Recently, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group had also purchased an assortment of good equipment, which
made the Nightmare difficulty feel like it was within reach .
Blackfathom was located in the Zoram Strand in Gray Valley . It was a glorious temple which honored the
Night Elf Goddess, Elune .
The temple had collapsed in the explosion of the Eternity Well and had sunk into the depths of the
Veiled Sea, isolating it from the outside world . That is, until the Naga and Satyrs were attracted to the
ancient temple’s power and sought to explore its secrets .
Remulos had asked Lu Li to kill everyone who was desecrating the temple . This was a very aggressive
decision, but it could be understood .
In a sense, Remulos was the son of Cenarius and the grandson of Elune . If there was a group of people
who had occupied and were desecrating your grandmother’s domain, killing them all was already quite
merciful .
Before he took them to the Instance Dungeon, Lu Li first brought them somewhere else – Blackfathom
Camp .
Blackfathom Camp was situated along Zoram’s Coast and was a part of the Alliance . There were three
Elves in this camp – Shindrell Swiftfire, Talren and Muscle Man Brass .
"Oh, adventurers . Lots of adventurers," Blacksmith Brass muttered under his breath .
Even though this wasn’t a welcome sight, he still had to admire the courage of these guys . With the
recent increase in Blackfathom’s power, the Twillight Hammer and Naga raids had been constantly
harassing the Blackfathom Camp . They had just been doing whatever they could to get by .
"Oh, adventurers really have come," said Talren . He went before Lu Li and the others before touching
Hachi Chan’s head and saying, "Your head is so small but you’re already out adventuring . The young
people nowadays are great . "
Hachi Chan grimaced . Why didn’t he say that she was young? Why did he say that her head was small?
She wanted to kick him, but her manners told her otherwise . Instead, she politely bowed and replied,
"Uncle, I have many friends and they’re very strong . "
"I can see that; they are all very brave . "
After a glance, Talren turned and continued talking to Hachi Chan .
The others were crying at the thought of being ignored like a piece of furniture . He was obviously only
paying Hachi Chan any attention .
After talking to Talren, they learned that he was an explorer and archeologist . He had a large ship that
was taken by a group of Naga at the ruins of Zoram, and was the only survivor who had made it back to
camp .
"How unlucky . "
Hachi Chan’s wide eyes were becoming teary and she began to act cute .
Everyone else silently insulted her bad acting .
However, this NPC fell for it and quickly comforted her .
"Oh, don’t be sad little girl . Adventures are filled with death and surprises; it was just too bad that my
adventures ended badly . "
"What did you get from your adventures?" The little girl showed a face of curiosity .
"We had explored the ruins of an ancient city some time ago and found some ancient statues inside .
Those damned Naga have long abandoned the arts of the Elf family . I heard that they discarded the
statues onto the seacoast . Can you guys get them back for me?" Talren asked .
"My partners are also very enthusiastic; can they help?" Hachi Chan hadn’t forgotten the others .
"Them?" Talren frowned with disdain . He didn’t intend to issue the quest to the others but it seemed
like Lu Li and the others would be helpful in dealing with the desecrators .
Lu Li had seen Talren in his past life, but he wasn’t this eccentric .
Dawn’s charisma property must have really had a significant effect; it could completely affect the
behavior of an NPC . It sounded very unfair but Lu Li hadn’t believed it until now .
Although Hachi Chan looked like a fool, she was an extraordinary treasure .
