The Great Thief - Chapter 528

Chapter 528

Mor’Ladim was definitely the strongest level 40 monster that Lu Li had seen . Even the level 45 Pirate Captain would probably be an easy victory for him; his Evil Ring buff was too strong .

If he was killed and dropped a ring, spell book, or an equip with the same special effect, that would be…

"Greetings, respected adventurer . "

Sarah Ladimore interrupted Lu Li’s day dream . He only just noticed that the female healer had walked in front of him with the long sword in her hand .

"Is she…" Lu Li’s breath paused slightly . If he couldn’t complete the Assassin League quest, then he would have to be removed from the league . There were other small factions that he could join; the Night Watchmen was a good place . Lu Li really liked their army song; it was full of passion and loyalty .

However, it was a little depressing that he had spent so much time to receive nothing in the end .

"This sword has been passed down to us from our ancestors and has been through countless battles . My father would definitely not want it in an average person’s hands . You’re a strong adventurer, so I’ll pass it to you . I hope that you’ll find a good owner for it . "

In that moment, Lu Li felt slightly ashamed for his dirty thoughts . He carefully took the long sword and said, "In the name of Moon Goddess, the Paladin’s glory shall never fall . "

After healing, Althea’s injuries weren’t too severe . The greatest damage done was to the injured Night Watchmen . They weren’t players, so healing magic could only so much for them . The two lucky ones were fine, three were left with more serious injuries while two of them had lost their lives forever .

The Night Watchmen performed a simple funeral for them and their army rang once again around the tomb .

"The night is coming . I’ll stand to watch from this point on until death sets me apart . I’ll remain loyal as I stay on watch through life until death . I’m the piercing sword in the darkness . My life and glory all to the Night Watch . It will be so tonight and all the nights that are to come . "

Sarah Ladimore performed a holy blessing on the simple tomb so that they wouldn’t be interrupted by the undead . Althea used her long sword to engrave the tombstone .

The tombstone wrote: He watched in life and ended when death set him apart .

A cold breeze swept across the forest and the crows sang in the tombs . Lu Li suddenly understood why they refused to relocate; this was the home to the Night Watchmen .

"Elf from afar, thank you for all the things you’ve done for the Night Watchmen . May the dawn of light be with you on your journey . "

Althea gave a formal farewell to Lu Li in thanks for his participation in the battle, despite him not actually doing much .

System: You’ve received the friendship of the Night Watch Army . Experience gained, Night Town reputation earned . One skill point awarded .

System: Night Watch Emblem x100 received .

"May the Night Town remain in peace forever . " Lu Li returned the formalities and left .

He returned to Southshore and hesitated outside the inn for a bit before he entered .

Southshore was as popular as it always had been . It was a great contrast to Night Town, where players barely stayed . Lu Li sat in his old spot where no one noticed him .

Was the quest a success or a failure?

This quest, an obvious trap quest, didn’t cause him any loss . Instead, he had received the friendship of the Night Watchmen and a hundred entrance tickets to the small fraction . On top of this, he had also received a Paladin’s long sword .

Archeus (Gold): Damage 40-62, Strength +32, Agility +16, Critical Strike +12%, Special Effect: within 8 seconds after you kill an enemy who can give you experience or glory points, your next attack has a 50% critical strike chance increase . The damage dealt will be the amount of health restored to yourself . Level Requirement 35, Durability 72/72 .

Without the critical strike chance, the sword would have one special effect . This didn’t seem right for its level 40 Gold grade identity .

However, there were two lines of text under the description . Lu Li had to say that luck and fate were both untraceable . If he was a Paladin, there was no way he would be able to give this sword to anyone else, even if the sword didn’t suit his playstyle .

First row of text: Morgan Ladimore’s sword .

Second row of text: Upgradable (1/3), Undead units (0/100,000 Elites)

Lu Li had always known that he wasn’t favored by Dawn; he definitely wasn’t the only one with upgradable equipment . It was easy to identify who had an upgradable equip – if someone had an equipment that they never swapped out, it would definitely be upgradeable .

Of course, there were also some players out there who had some sort of strange passion for particular equips, or had simply just changed the outer appearance of their equipment .

At first, he was slightly annoyed, but he didn’t worry too much about it . Lu Li believed that his success wasn’t built entirely on luck; he never worried about facing a challenge .

Hard work payed off and Dawn was always a fair game .

He planned to let Mu Qiu use this weapon, but it still belonged to the guild . In the future, even if Mu Qiu left, he couldn’t bring this weapon with him . He was one of the formal contestants of the guild, so he would make more money for the guild if he became stronger .

Lu Li didn’t think about tying Mu Qiu down with Ruling Sword with a single weapon .

A single person’s charisma alone wasn’t enough to bring everyone together . The same passion, the same goals and the same beliefs were the most solid foundation for the team .

"Square Root 3, what are you up to?" Lu Li quickly contacted Square Root 3 before the hostess came .

"Busy – lots of things going on . If you have something, spill . If not, don’t bother me . " Square Root 3 was probably quite busy; he didn’t bother with any chit chat .

"Thanks for the hard work . A lot of it is thanks to you that Ruling Sword is developing greatly," Lu Li said, giving a slight compliment before moving onto the important topic . "I have a hundred Night Watch Emblems here…"

"Night Watch Emblem? What does that do?" Square Root 3 was confused .

It wasn’t that he was uncultured – barely anyone knew about small factions at this point . Even in Lu Li’s previous life, only some people knew about small factions . At that point, the game had already been released for three years .

This was something that was more available for high-end players .

"With this, you’ll have a chance to join a small faction . After you join, there will be special quests . These special quests usually give more rewards than average quests . Most importantly, these quests will come automatically every now and then; there’s no need to find ways to trigger these quests . "

Dawn didn’t sort out their quests, so players had to sort them by themselves . Quests with extra rewards were known as special quests, while quests hidden to most people were called hidden quests .

Most quests from small factions were these types of quests . It was rare for a small faction to give out quests with average rewards .

"There are these sorts of things?" Square Root 3 wasn’t stupid; he instantly understood .

"Find some reliable Paladins, preferably those who can sign a contract with us . This small faction is most suitable for Paladins," Lu Li said .

After a few more game updates, Night Watch Riders will be released . Paladins would have a certain chance to change their class into this new class . The new class came with amazing mobility abilities and would have great influence in guild wars .

Of course, to keep the game in balance, this class also came with its downsides .

Although a contract couldn’t restrict a player entirely, it was better than giving things out for free .

At the same time, with the friendship that Lu Li and Althea currently had, he could even make the betrayer pay a price by being kicked out of the small faction . Betrayal was one of the things that the Night Watchmen looked down on the most .
