Chapter 390
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
It was possible that everyone who came to the Ravenholdt Manor would have a different examiner . Lu Li had never read about Bath’ra the Windcatcher before and so he didn’t know what level he was .
However, after seeing him get tossed so far and get up like nothing had happened, it couldn’t be that low .
"Do you really want to share the bomb’s secrets with me?" Bath’ra asked again .
"Yes, Mr Bath’ra, I have answered your question for the eleventh time and we have already signed an agreement which has been confirmed by the Institute of Engineers . " Lu Li was quite annoyed .
The Troll was quite chatty and was incapable of being quiet .
"As you know, Master Ivy was a genius . He was a Master of his own time and still is now, even though he was always a joke to his peers and disciples . I didn’t think that I would get to see some of his work . " Bath’ra was filled with emotion .
"Would a genius kill himself?" Lu Li disagreed .
"This…I heard a secret that Ivy didn’t actually die," Bath’ra said embarrassedly .
"That’s impossible . " Lu Li wasn’t like the other players; he had keenly read all the legends and stories about Dawn’s lore . For Ivy in particular, he was confident enough to make this point .
"I have no reason to lie to you," Bath’ra said then explained, "A Lich can separate its soul and go into hiding . As long as not all of it is destroyed, it cannot truly be killed…"
"Ivy wasn’t a Lich; he wasn’t even a Mage," Lu Li said as he shook his head .
"Of course I knew that, but young man, do you know that Engineering is a great art? It is broader and more profound than any other art . Other than bombs, Ivy also studied the soul…" Bath’ra seemed to worship Ivy . Perhaps to those who were keen for Engineering and wanted to continually pursue it, Ivy was forever the true God .
"Please, Windcatcher . I remember someone saying that it was because of his studies into the soul that he went crazy and made a bomb that could destroy a mountain, which ultimately resulted in his death . "
"Please do not question the Godlike Engineering Master," Bath’ra shouted angrily; his voice was much louder than the Mechano-Hog .
Lu Li withdrew and warned himself not to discredit an idol in front of their fans again .
"Actually, I really like engineering and have spent quite some time on it . "
"Then why are you still just an Intermediate Engineer?" Bath’ra politeness had vanished after Lu Li’s display of arrogance .
"I had only spent a month in my free time, and I was still young at the time," Lu Li shrugged .
Players were quite richly blessed in this regard . While there were things they may not be able to learn in life, all they needed to do in Dawn was gather the Trade Skill EXP .
"Never feel like you are still too young – if you wait, it might be too late . " Bath’ra’s sigh could be heard by Lu Li even over the thundering vehicles .
The Mechano-Hog increased movement speed by 120%; it was one of the fastest ground mounts . Before Long, Bath’ra and Lu Li appeared in front of a cave .
"The Ravenholdt Manor is in the mountains?" Lu Li thought that this was a little strange .
"Oh, oh no, I…" The Troll’s face turned purple before shouting, "I should have put you to sleep . Dammit, I forgot…"
Lu Li: …
Not only did this guy discriminate between races, he also made silly mistakes
The road here had many hills and the terrain was complex .
However, once players had come here often enough, they would eventually remember the directions . Lu Li wasn’t Hachi Chan – if he had to, he could definitely navigate his way here .
Poor Bath’ra was so distracted by Ivy’s Bomb that he had forgotten to put him into a coma .
It was a complete mistake .
Nothing like this had ever happened to the Ravenholdt Manor in thousands of years . The simplest solution would be to kill the offenders .
However, Lu Li was an adventurer and he knew that Dawn’s rules stipulated that adventurers couldn’t be killed . The most they could do was reduce his EXP by 20% .
"I can keep a secret . In fact, I just woke up," Lu Li said .
Virtual reality had been developed for 200 years and had gone through several stages .
50 years ago, the development of artificial intelligence also became mainstream .
In the recent 50 years, technology kept advancing and more man-power was freed up . In particular, agricultural production was almost exclusively coordinated by artificial intelligence .
The same was true of video games; Dawn’s monsters had some level of artificial intelligence .
If they didn’t need to consider playability, then they would give all life in the world full intelligence .
Bath’ra the Windcatcher’s intelligence was quite high, so he seriously considered Lu Li’s proposal .
If Ravenholdt Manor found out about this issue during the trial process, they wouldn’t accept Lu Li, but it would also cause him some trouble . As a member of the organization, he knew the level of their strength .
"Do you have any demands?" Bath’ra asked .
"Not really – I don’t have a need for an informant . I also don’t want to offend a Master Engineer . " Lu Li had a bit of a headache at this point .
Knowing the real location of Ravenholdt Manor wasn’t much use to him .
"No, you have to have a demand," Bath’ra said as he seriously stared at Lu Li . " I hope to make this secret a deal, and not something that can be used against me at any time . "
"The Mechano-Hog… how about you teach me about its blueprint?" Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to take the opportunity .
"The Mechano-Hog is actually a quest that I can’t give you directly . You must first reach Expert level before finding me to accept the quest . After completing the quest, you will receive the blueprint . You can only make the Mechano-Hog after you reach Master level," Bath’ra bitterly said .
"Then just teach me about a blueprint . " Lu Li was speechless; he didn’t expect it to be that difficult .
"What do you mean, a blueprint?" Bath’ra’s face flushed red again .
Was this young man about to ask about the legacy and Ivy again?
"Nevermind . I shouldn’t offend an Engineering Expert," Lu Li quickly praised him . "How about you promise to answer my questions about Engineering when I’m free?"
"Alright, I promise," Bath’ra sighed .
Now that this matter had been settled, Lu Li and the Master Engineer’s relationship had been solidified .
A Troll and a Night Elf then snuck into the cave .
