The Great Thief - Chapter 425

Chapter 425
The river wasn’t without its own dangers .


The river crocodile Boss – Ripscale – was level 45 and had very powerful sweep skills which allowed it to easily deal with hundreds of ordinary players .
Fortunately, Ripscale was relatively timid, so it never ventured close to the North Outpost Tower .
Without worries of being attacked by Ripscale, Lu Li and Ithania eventually left the North Outpost Tower range through the river and set foot into the rotten swamp .
"Respected Ms . Ithania, Rattan City is just through here . This is where I will be leaving you . "
After half an hour, Lu Li proposed the end of the quest . The outline of Rattan City could be seen from their location .
Lu Li had cheated the Goblin Engineer out of his Bomb Blueprint here .
That blueprint had not only helped him and his friends maintain their lead, but it had also significantly helped them in the Shadow Cup .
He could also say that from that moment, he had completely detached himself from the shadow of his sister’s illness .
"Just here?" Ithania was a little confused .
If this was the quest, the most dangerous part had been completed so why not just fully complete it? There was no danger ahead and fully completing it would yield a greater reward .


"I have other things I need to do . " Lu Li dared not go back into Rattan City . Moreover, his current form was about to expire .
There were absolutely no friendly relations between the Night Elves and the Blood Elves .
To put it simply, the earliest Night Elves were known as the High Elves . The High Elves loved magic, which eventually alienated themselves from the Night Elves .
During the first Burning Legion Invasion, the Sun Well exploded and the High Elves, including Queen Azshara were blown into the great sea . There, they eventually evolved into the Naga .
The remaining High Elves were exiled into the Eastern Kingdom where they established themselves in Quel’Thalas .
During the second Burning Legion Invasion, Death Knight Arthas destroyed Quel’Thalas, and the High Elf Prince Kael’thas vowed to exact revenge on the Scourge . He renamed his race as the Blood Elves to commemorate those who had died in the war .
Unfortunately, Prince Kael’thas was lost in his vengeance and was tricked by demons . He was defeated in the outer domain of the Stormwind Fortress before he fled back to his homeland and ultimately died on the roof of his teacher’s house .
The remaining Blood Elves turned to the Horde in the hopes of restoring the Glory of Quel’Thalas .
If Ithania found out that Lu Li was a Night Elf, she would definitely run away because of his race . No matter what had happened, there would always be enmity between her and Lu Li .
Ithania didn’t understand Lu Li stubbornness, but Rattan City was just ahead and she was relatively safe now .


"Ms Ithania, you can rest in Rattan City for a few days . After a while, you can leave by boat . I believe that Rattan City’s mercenaries will be more than happy to send you to back to Silver City," Lu Li said impatiently .

He didn’t have much time left – only 10 minutes now .
"If you interrupt the quest, the rewards will be much smaller . " Ithania felt a little touched because she thought Lu Li was a good man and felt like she needed to repay him .
"I promised my friends that I would go on adventure with them . Our meeting time is coming," Lu Li said .
In fact, he was sighing on the inside . Why did the quest reward need to be lower? All this time, he hadn’t received a single notification from the system about the quest .
The Deception Orb was truly quite strong . Not only did change what an ordinary person saw, but it also allowed him to enjoy the same treatment as a Horde player .
Even so, he had never officially received Ithania’s rescue and escort quest .
Seeing that Lu Li insisted on completing the escort quest, Ithania declared the quest to be completed .
Normally, Lu Li would have been prompted to receive Prestige and EXP, but unfortunately, nothing happened . This verified the fact that Lu Li couldn’t use this Orb to complete Horde Quests .
However, he was still expecting Ithania to give him some equipment or item as a reward .
Although there were some time constraints, the task wasn’t a difficult one, but Lu Li still felt entitled to a Gold equipment or a rare Skill Book .
"A whole ship of people died trying to get something from a place on this map," Ithania said as she pulled out her fake arm with her right hand .
Lu Li was dumbfounded as he stared at her .
All this time, he had thought that the Blood Elf had a broken arm . He didn’t expect that it was a fake . Presumably, her interrogators also didn’t find this out as her fake arm was quite realistic .
After removing her fake arm, Ithania pulled out a sheepskin scroll .
From Lu Li’s perspective, this sheepskin scroll wasn’t that old . It wasn’t inscribed with complicated magic and looked just like an ordinary parchment that you could buy for 50 Silver .
What could it be?
"I will give this to you as a reward, but…" Ithania said as she threw the Sheepskin scroll at Lu Li and smiled, "From now on, you might find some trouble . "
System: Player Lu Li has obtained the Treasure map of Captain Sanders . Coordinates (1475,2366,43) .
Lu Li’s mind was immediately thrown into a fuss .
It was actually a treasure map! No wonder he had thought that the name ‘Ithania’ was very familiar . He couldn’t remember where it came from it at first, but it was from this treasure map .
Every treasure map was unique and held a large sum of wealth, enough to cause a stir in the game .
In fact, without Lu Li’s intervention, Ithania’s release of the first ever Treasure Map would be short lived, only leaving behind legends about the great wealth it contained . After she gave out her treasure map, no one else would ever see it again .
In accordance with the System’s rules, once a Horde player rescued Ithania, the quest reward would be Captain Sander’s treasure map .
Ithania’s ship was sunk by the City of Stormwind and when she escaped, she had come to Thermore’s Fall to ask the Ogres from the Horde for help .
She had over-estimated the friendship of their so-called alliance and when the news of the treasure map was leaked, King Morokk intended to take the map away .
Ithania defeated him and ran away, but eventually fell into the hands of the North Outpost .
Captain Darill of the North Outpost then interrogated Ithiania to try and find out about the map .
Even if she was temporarily safe, it was only temporary . Regardless of whether it was a player or an NPC, they all thought it was worth fighting for .
While Ithania carried the treasure map, the whole world was her enemy, so the only way out was to give it up .
