Lu Li picked up the dropped equipment and stood up slowly .

He packed away his dagger and apologized, "I don’t like people following me, so I had no choice but to kill them . Hopefully, a lady like yourself won’t mind this . "

"I pity them, that’s all," Nima said as she turned her head and continued walking . "Hopefully, we’ll arrive at your destination before it gets dark . Many vicious Ogres have came to the Alterac Mountains recently . "

"Thank you, Miss Pathfinder . " Lu Li was relieved; he had finally achieved his goal .

Ravenholdt Manor was not a welcoming place – it wasn’t somewhere that could be found easily . There were two pathfinders in the hills of Hillsbrad – one was the hostess (waitress) in Southshore, and the other was the Thief Skills Trainer in Tarren Mill .

Lu Li belonged to the Alliance, so it was only natural for him to seek the hostess located in Southshore .

For the hostess to guide you, it took more than simply saying, "Take me to Ravenholdt Manor . "

First, you had to have the Ravenholdt Emblem . It didn’t matter where or how you found the emblem, but the emblem was definitely the ticket to Ravenholdt Manor .

Besides the emblem, you also needed the hostess to have a good impression on you .

Lu Li had been investigating these things since his previous life . Some people had been killed before by the hostess . Their ignorance had angered the hostess, who seemed naive, but was actually a high-leveled Thief who wielded Shard of the Defiler .

Failures from the past warned those in the future . The emblem meant nothing to them; they could kill you anytime and abandon you in the wild .

As for the opinion of the Assassin League, well, they would never respect the dead anyway .

Lu Li’s method of winning a good impression from the hostess was simple; he began by complimenting the ale that she made .

To be fair, the ale did taste pretty good and the price was reasonable; it was only 3 silvers for a cup .

Besides this, you could only bribe her with jewellery .

Women always liked jewellery; this probably had nothing to do with their class or their race . .

The hostess was level 45 and designed similarly to a Boss model . She was also a Thief, a class that came and went as they pleased .

For her to take interest in a piece of jewellery, the jewellery had to be at least Gold grade and above level 40 .

The few players from before had attempted to bribe her with average jewellery that could be purchased from the auction with a few gold coins . Lu Li barely had to observe her to feel the boiling rage disguised under the calm expression of the hostess .

In a few months time, the female Thief and her fierce reputation would become well-known . Perhaps then, no one would dare to show off in front of her anymore .

Even Lu Li’s killing of the players was still an attempt to win over the female Thief .

The female Thief seemed to be fairly satisfied with Lu Li . At the very least, she didn’t set down any trials for him . Apparently, 80% of the players died during the trial and lost their Ravenholdt Emblem .

Lu Li slightly tilted his head to gaze at the female Thief that walked by his side .

He didn’t do it to admire her beauty; he was instead judging the strength of this NPC .

After they entered Darrow Hill, Lu Li began to look out for dangers .

Dangers approached as he expected, when the gigantic figure of the Yetimus appeared in his vision . Lu Li rushed towards it on purpose, just like Don Quixote when he saw a windmill .

He recognized Yetimus from his previous life . Back then, he was part of a level 30 team of 25 people that had been hired by someone . Their hirer wanted them to kill this Yetimus monster so he could get his quest item .

However, they underestimated the strength of this level 40 monster . The team was wiped four times; there was no hope for them at all .

Dying in the wild meant that they lost experience, and losing experience four times was enough of a loss to shake a player’s heart .

That time, Lu Li had also lost a level 30 Silver grade equipment . He wasn’t as wealthy as he was at this stage during his previous life .

Later on, he would come into contact with some guides about the hills of Hillsbrad and Ravenholdt Manor . From this, he realized why the hirer had spent so much money to find other players to kill Yetimus .

In order to join the Ravenholdt Manor and become a formal member of the Assassin League, the Twisted Horns of Yetimus, the Snow King, were required to pass the first trial .

Lu Li didn’t want to drag a hundred players out to help him . If he did, other guilds would notice and attempt to disrupt him, even though no one had set their eyes on Yetimus so far .

Yetimus wasn’t a Boss, but he was even stronger than a Boss .

The biggest threat for the Stormpike Troops camped in Alterac Mountains and the hills of Hillsbrad wasn’t the Frostwolf Orcs . It wasn’t the Forgotten Ones either – it was the abnormally large Snow King Yetimus .

This monster had the strongest Earthshattering skill in the entire game of Dawn .

He could knock up his opponents, causing them to fly at least a few hundred meters into the air . Most people would die from the landing, and even if they managed to survive, they would only be left with a sliver of health .

Between level 30 and level 40, Yetimus was the strongest being in the game .

As such, nobody dared to set foot in the Darrow Hills .

This was originally a prosperous mountain with plenty of herbs and minerals to gather . There were also packs of lions, deer and wild horses roaming the area that could supply a huge amount of leather and meat . There was even a horse that could be captured as a mount .

What left players even more speechless was the fact that such a strong monster didn’t drop anything good .

There were also guilds who attempted to slowly tire out the Yetimus, but they were all left disappointed .

At that time, Lu Li didn’t know what he was getting himself into . He accepted the quest and only found out that this monster was almost impossible to slay after he died four times . It was not until later down the track when he reached a higher level that he brought Azure Sea Breeze and a few others for revenge .

Now, he wanted to join Ravenholdt Manor as a formal member of the Assassin League, not just some unimportant member in the outer circle .

Yetimus was a target that he couldn’t avoid .

He was cautious the entire time to build a good relationship with the hostess, doing it all for this one chance to gamble .

Hopefully, the hostess wouldn’t sit on the side and watch .

If a level 45 NPC helped him, no matter how strong the level 40 monster was, it would probably still have to die . This female Thief was no weakling – the Shard of the Defiler that she wielded was an exceptional weapon .

The Shard of the Defiler was a weapon that only existed in the legends .

Although the level requirement for the Legendary grade dagger was only level 40 and there were no particularly strong special effects, it was the fastest weapon in Dawn .

Some say it was so fast that when you attacked an opponent who was wielding this dagger once, they would be able to attack you at least three times .

Of course, these were all just guesses – no players had actually been able to lay their hands on this Dagger . These were all legends and assumptions that were made based on NPCs .
