The Great Thief - Chapter 577

Chapter 577

The dense fog of night time made this place feel like a ghost town .

Lu Li followed Remulos into the ruins . Only their footsteps could be heard, apart from the disgusting squelching when they stepped on a rotten corpse . This place was the Blood Fang Ruins – the origin of the Blood Fang Worgens .

A pack of werewolves sat quietly under the moonlight . Anyone that saw them for the first time would be shocked and left speechless .

However, for the players, they were merely mobs from Shadowfang Keep . They were known for their savage and irrational nature, and were designed to hunt and kill mindlessly . As such, it was quite a rare scene to see them sitting down quietly and resting .

"The moon is beautiful tonight," Remulos said, breaking the silence in the night . He wasn’t nervous at all and strolled towards them casually .

He approached the biggest Worgen, who was most likely the leader of the pack, and they sniffed each other .

Lu Li knew that this was their custom – it meant that there was a close bond between the two and was a form of greeting like a handshake . If their relationship wasn’t solid enough and he sniffed him, it would have resulted in a bloody mess .

"It’s not as beautiful for us anymore . "

One of the Worgen opened his eyes and also sniffed Remulos .

His pupils were different from any other werewolf that Lu Li had met before . The werewolves from Shadowfang Keep had blood-red pupils filled with destruction and madness .

However, this Worgen had a brown pupil with streaks of silver .

Lu Li wasn’t sure whether his pupils actually had a silver streak, or if it was reflection of the moonlight . The moon was even brighter and more beautiful here than in the Moonlight Forest .

"Yeah, you guys are used to it now," Remulos sighed and began talking seriously, "Lord Krug, I come here seeking for help . "

"Please don’t refer to me as Lord anymore . Most of my people have been taken away from Leila . " Lu Li could see anger and a thirst for revenge in the werewolf’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it .

Leila…

Lu Li felt like he has heard this name before . Leila was the first name, but what was the last name?

Leila, Bloodfang Ruins, Leila Blood Fang…

Lu Li put two and two together and remembered who Leila was . She was part of ancient Druid sect called the Druid of the Scytheor and was also known as the person who had caused the downfall of Bloodfang .

Many thought that the Mage Arugal was the one who used Dark Magic to summon Worgens and caused them to spread in numbers .

But where did he summon these Worgens from originally?

Lu Li read in a book that the Worgens originated from the Druids in Kaldorei . These Druids used the power of Goldrinn the Wolf God, which allowed them to shapeshift into werewolves to defend themselves against the Burning Legion .

However, because of the wild and untamed nature of the wolves, the Druids lost control . This forced Malfurion to use an item to banish them into the Emerald Dream, submitting their energy to the Scythe of Elune .

Years later, Ur, a Mage of Dalaran, found the Scythe of Elune and worked with Arugal to summon Worgens .

After this, Leila created a religion known as the Bloodfang Worgens . Many people of Gilneas betrayed their own country to join this secret organisation . They acted in secret without the knowledge of the King of Gilneas, spreading the curse to more and more people .

This was the impression that Lu Li had of the Bloodfang Worgens .

The group of Worgens before him were a different pack that disagreed with Leila .

"No, you will always be the leader of the Bloodfang Worgens . Leila walked a on path of evil and you’ll be remembered as the one who resisted against her . "

"Why did you come here for today? I have nothing left besides the moonlight," Krug asked as he looked at his claws .

"I need to borrow your altar," Remulos said, then continued before he could be rejected, "I brought some materials that you need . It might not be much, but these were all collected by this young man . "

"Greetings, faithful worshippers of the moon . " Lu Li knew that these Worgens weren’t infected by the curse .

They needed the moonlight in order to neutralize the violent and savage nature in their blood which was why they were gathered here . Calling them the faithful worshippers of the moon was extremely fitting .

They were evidently pleased that they had been addressed like this . Krug reached out his claws and placed them on Lu Li’s shoulders .

Lu Li brought out the materials, as well as the Gold-grade Staff . Altogether, there were 16 pieces, which was exactly what Remulos had ordered . Including the Blood of the Bosses that he had killed before, there were 40 or so pieces .

He didn’t feel the need to collect the blood of Bosses that were a higher level because that would be a waste of time .

The bosses from the Burning Legion expansion were impossible for him to even attempt right now .

He had seen the Demon Vanguards yesterday which were the weakest monsters in the dungeon and didn’t even have the guts to aggro them .

Every Worgen opened their eyes wide, including Krug, and Lu Li saw a faint redness in their pupils .

It was obvious that this pack of Worgens was struggling to get by .

"These materials are very important to me . I can’t lose any more of my people," Krug sighed as he accepted all the materials .

With Remulos around, Lu Li wasn’t afraid to get scammed .

Krug led the way, followed by Lu Li and Remulos, as well as four other Worgens .

"Lord Krug, maybe you can grant a quest to this young man . He is a smart and brave child . "

Remulos began recommending and praising Lu Li as an adventurer .

Lu Li had to complete the quest in order to build trust and reputation in the Dark Abyss area .

"Him?" Krug glanced at Lu Li . It was obvious that Krug thought the small rogue was weak .

"Don’t judge a book by its cover Krug . You’ve got nothing to lose," Remulos said with a smile .

"In order to thank the Bloodfangs for letting me borrow the altar, if there’s anything you need me to do, I’ll try my hardest to help you . I have many other friends that can help me," Lu Li offered .

Krug thought about it and came to the conclusion that this wasn’t such a bad idea .

He was impressed with Lu Li’s humble and grateful attitude .
