Intervene: Increases your own speed when running towards a teammate within a 15 yard radius by 200% for 10 seconds . As long as the target is within 5 yards of you, you can take the next attack for them .

It was a good item!

This Skill book undoubtedly provided a greater opportunity for teamwork . You could easily imagine a situation where someone was about to be killed, only to have another player run by and block the fatal damage for them .

Although they could only block one attack, this could be enough to determine the difference between life and death .

Now it was a matter of determining who would get the book .

Intervene was not a bad skill by any measure, but based on the forums, it seemed like no one else had found it yet .

Who knew how long it would be before another of these appeared?

The most reasonable option would be to give it up Azure Sea Breeze . However, they could also give it to Wandering as he was a defensive Warrior .

Lu Li actually felt more inclined to give it to Moonlight .

"I don’t mind . "

Although Moonlight thought that this skill book would be quite useful, he didn’t want to fight for it . He was used to keeping a low profile just like Sesame Rice Ball, but unlike Sesame Rice Ball, who was shy, Moonlight was simply indifferent .

"Hmph, just give it to Lighty; I don’t want to learn this kind of self-hurting skill," Wandering said with a look of disgust .

"I need to be taking the main damage, so I won’t have time to help others," Azure Sea Breeze said as he shook his head and rejected the skill book . It wasn’t that it was inappropriate for them to have it, but that he had heard that Lu Li wanted to give it to Moonlight . Naturally, he thought that it was a good idea because of this .

Lu Li’s reasoning was simple . Moonlight wore Plate Armor, so he was fully capable of taking another hit . This skill would also make him stronger during PVP battles .

Moonlight was the second strongest player in the club after all .

While this skill book was really useful for Instance Dungeons, it could be even more useful for competitions .

For Lu Li, wins and losses in game didn’t mean much to him unless they could be converted into real money .

Fame and reputation were fleeting .

The bookkeeper monster in this library was going to be difficult because it was at Nightmare Difficulty . The respawns were inconsistent, so Lu Li and the others had to keep checking around while clearing other mobs .

However, they remained hopeful as they fought their way into the library’s main hall .

Eventually, they did run into a bookkeeper . It seemed that they weren’t lucky enough .

There were mountains of books everywhere in the main hall .

"Alright, all of you need to find these three books – ‘Beginnings of the Undead Threat, ‘Compendium of the Fallen’, and ‘Mythology of the Titans’ . We’ll also need to find the keys to the library," Lu Li said as he clapped his hands .

"I understand finding the keys to the library, but what are those books for?" Everyone’s faces were a little green with anxiety .

This was a huge circular hall with countless high bookshelves . Finding three specific books in this place was no simple task – they could search for a day and still not find it .

"Don’t over exaggerate the situation . "

Lu Li was sweating . The game wouldn’t make it impossible, right?

Of these tens of thousands of books, only a few hundred could be read . However, this number would grow to more than three thousand in a year’s time .

When Lu Li later came back to the Scarlet Monastery later in his previous life, over tens of thousands of books had been added to the Scarlet Monastery Library .

Some of these books were written by writers employed by the game company . Others were spontaneously written by players and detailed their travels through Dawn . Some books also documented the historical figures of Dawn .

Of these writers, the ones who had written the most were Sally Whitemane and Brigitte Abbendis .

These were two women who had lived illustrious lives .

Lu Li’s request actually wasn’t difficult . Of the countless books before them, many of them couldn’t be read . As such, if they could put a book into their bag, then it was probably one of those three .

If everyone looked through 10 books at a time, everyone would have all three books .

There was a way to make it even simpler . If they all put 30 books into their bags and took some time to sort through them, they would eventually be left with the three books as well .

The keys were also going to be found sandwiched in one of the books .

This unlocked the room of Arcanist Doan .

Lu Li was very familiar with Doan’s background as he had read a biography of the Abbendis family . It recorded the life experiences of the Abbendis father and daughters .

There were words in that book that had left a strong impression on Lu Li .

Oh Abbendis, why won’t you look upon me? I am willing to go to the ends of the earth for you and my only hope is that you would notice me…

This sentence was carved onto a silver coin, as a testimony to the person’s feelings .

It was said that this sentence was written by old man Abbendis himself to another man . However, the authenticity of this claim was weak and was probably made up by the imaginations of some perverted women .

Even so, it had still received some fame . This old mage had become a famous historical figure from Dawn’s lore which popularized that claim .

Those silver coins were also collected by these perverted women;’each one of them could be sold for more than 100 gold .

Doan was one of Old Mograine’s trusted partners . He, Tirion, Alfred Abbendis, Isillien and Fairbanks had worked together to study a mysterious crystal that had been picked up from the Southshore battlefield .

This was the group that the Ashbringer was born from .

Doan had played a very important role in that process .

Later, Silver Hand’s Doan joined the Scarlet Crusade and was made responsible for guarding the Scarlet Monastery’s library . He was also in charge of protecting the key that allowed entry into the Scarlet Cathedral .

This old Mage whose age was unknown really liked his old friend’s daughter – Brigitte Abbendis .

Brigitte Abbendis was the Scarlet Crusade’s Grand General Alfred Abbendis’ daughter . Alfred Abbendis was also originally from the Silver Hand Paladin Regiment . After the Grand General Abbendis’ death, young Brigitte succeeded her father to become the new Scarlet Crusade Grand General . She led the remaining Scarlet Crusade to Fireplace Valley and formed a resistance with Scarlet Lord Valdelmar to defend against the Scourge invasion .

There was no clear evidence of this, but there was an impression that Old Doan was a bit of a loli-con .

Was he gay or a loli-con?

Doan was constantly the object of ridicule amongst the players; it was difficult for him to garner any respect .

However, as one of the oldest members of the Scarlet Crusade, it was very difficult to get rid of Arcanist Doan .
