Chapter 388: Durnholde Keep

Translator: Halcyon Translations  Editor: Halcyon Translations

Lu Li was very aware of who he was, to the point that harbored a bit of an inferiority complex .

He never felt like he had ever received favor from anyone, especially from those around him . When the hostess said those words, he felt a little moved .

Of course, not a hint of emotion could be seen on Lu Li’s face .

With the hospitality extended by the hostess, Lu Li no longer needed to worry about dealing enough damage .

From the start of the fight until now, most of the damage had been done by the hostess . As such, the aggro of Yetimus was firmly locked onto her; it was trying its hardest to pound her into pulp .

There was no way for Lu Li to take aggro, even if he continually attacked .

After 6 or 7 minutes, Yetimus let out a loud roar and fell onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust .

"Thank you . "

Lu Li saw that his EXP had significantly increased and sincerely thanked her .

The hostess didn’t care much for him at first and had let him fend for himself, but she still allowed him to deal the necessary amount of damage .

"How can a Thief use a Druid’s skills? Can you tell me?" the hostess asked .

She got straight to the point and didn’t beat around the bush .

"I have acquired some special items that have allowed me to use some of the Druid’s auxiliary skills . " Lu Li didn’t pour out everything he knew, but he didn’t stay silent either .

"A special item…" the hostess muttered as she put her dagger away absentmindedly .

Azeroth was a big continent and everyone always wanted more power . This hostess worked at the Ravenholdt Manor, so he wasn’t sure if she was satisfied with that answer . She was definitely hoping to grow even stronger .

Being a level-45, especially one who had been stagnant for so long, she was always looking for ways to increase her strength .

As such, it was shocking for her when Lu Li transformed into a Leopard .

This was such a weak Thief (compared to her) and yet, he had mastered such a powerful skill .

Lu Li knelt down to loot the body, not knowing what this hostess was thinking . He wasn’t even sure if she was planning to kill him . After all, she looked really excited .

It wasn’t that he unworried – it was that his worries couldn’t achieve anything anyway .

In addition to the Yetimus’ Twisted Horns that Lu Li wanted, it also dropped a Silver grade level 40 Hammer for a Damage Paladin, but it wasn’t that good . It was no wonder why not many people were willing to kill this level 40 beast .

Killing Yetimus really was a thankless job, as Yetimus’ Twisted Horns were almost worthless for those who weren’t informed .

Lu Li carefully put Yetimus’ Twisted Horns into his backpack . They were so big that they took up three spots . He then raised his head and looked at the hostess .

She was just staring at him .

When she saw Lu Li look at her, she nodded her head and said, "Let’s go . Hopefully, we’ll get there before dark… Oh, it’s already dark . If you still want to go, I guess you’ll need to stay at the Southshore Hotel . "

"I really want to get to the Manor as soon as possible . " Lu Li knew that he still had 40 minutes left and could make it in time .

The reason why most adventurers insisted on logging off in the hotels were because they could get an hour of double EXP the next day .

However, Lu Li insisted that the two of them rest for a little bit before continuing on their trip .

At night, the biggest threats other than Yetimus were Ogres . Lu Li had run into two of them during their trip; they were trying to steal some deer from a group of mountain lions .

These Ogres moved around all day and were stronger at night . They were level 35 elites .

However, they didn’t stand a chance against a few rotations of the level 45 Hostess’ skills . Lu Li didn’t even get a chance to attack, so naturally, he didn’t get any EXP or equipment .

He planned to eventually come and farm these Ogres as they could drop the recipe for Advanced Healing Potions .

The Advanced Healing Potion Recipe wasn’t as difficult to acquire as the Intermediate one, but that didn’t mean it was bad . Once they had it, it would significantly help them in doing Instance Dungeons or in PVP battles .

After about 20 minutes, they reached their destination .

With regards to Ravenholdt Manor, Lu Li only knew that it was within the vicinity of Durnholde Keep; he didn’t know about the specific location . Even those who had been brought into the manor couldn’t determine the strange route to get there .

As for Durnholde Keep, this place was closely linked to some great characters in history .

There was a Sergeant named Aedelas Blackmoore who had discovered an abandoned Orc baby in the wild . Although most members of the Alliance would have killed it, he didn’t .

Cheap Orc slaves could be acquired anywhere, so no one wanted an Orc baby .

Blackmoore named this Orc baby Saar, which meant slave in a different language, and brought him back to the prison in Durnholde Keep .

There, not only did Blackmoore raise him as part of the family, but he also hired a teacher to train him in warfare, strategy and various fighting skills .

Blackmoore wanted to make Saar a cultured leader so he could take over the Orc Horde and use the Orc army to rule the world .

After 19 years, Saar became a strong Orc with high agility .

He later become a hero, standing in opposition to the Alliance . Lu Li had a deep respect for the tribal leader despite his upbringing .

It was undeniable that Saar’s success was because of Blackmoore . Without him, Saar likely would have just starved in the wilderness .

Durnholde Keep was the place where Saar had grown up, but even someone like him wouldn’t have realized that there was a secret organization behind the hill where he lived .

Some say that when Saar left Durnholde Keep, he had the help of the Assassin League and that his growth had been closely monitored by them .

Today, Durnholde Keep was a ghost town and only housed the deceased . Only when completing a certain plotline could players go back in time and see what Durnholde Keep was like .

That plotline belonged to a difficult quest called ‘Escape from Dunholde’ where you would rescue Saar .

Both Horde and Alliance players could do this quest . It was a little absurd for Alliance players to do this quest, but the rewards were lucrative . Lu Li planned to do it one day as well .

They passed Durnholde Keep and found themselves before a mountain range .

"Stay close, or you’ll get lost in this labyrinth," the hostess reminded .

"I’ll follow your footsteps; thanks for taking care of me all this way . " Lu Li couldn’t be too polite; many people failed here . As long as he hadn’t yet seen Ravenholdt Manor, it wasn’t really a victory .
