This quest was one of the most complicated in Dawn, moreso than Stalvan's quest that Lu Li had completed .
Fortunately, Lu Li did not plan on completing everything .
His goal was very clear – it was to obtain this carving blade . If he could successfully enhance Linken's Sabre and exchange for the carving blade, the outcome wouldn't matter to him .
Even if the quest wasn't completed, there wouldn't be any punishments . Lu Li had no pity for Linken, who had lost his memories .
After paying the fees to the transporter, Lu Li was teleported to Everlook, in Winterspring .
This town was the last save point when arriving at the peak of Mount Hyjal . It was really just a street of goblin-owned inns, which were used to demonstrate that they were neutral to any race or power .
Lu Li did not loiter in the town . Instead, he quickly summoned his mount and rushed along, following the road .
The monsters in Winterspring were high-levelled and posed a great danger to Lu Li . Fortunately, the goblins had constructed a fence which followed alongside the road . At the very least, this could fend off the less-ferocious wild monsters .
After riding for a while, Lu Li eventually found Donova Snowden .
She was at the eastern part of Everlook, next to a small, irregularly-shaped lake . In his previous life, Lu Li had jumped into the lake to wash himself while Donova Snowden was not paying attention .
At that time, there was a theory that the water, which could imbue a weapon with certain enhancements, would impart the same to a person who jumped in .
The outcome? Absolutely nothing . To add insult to injury, if a person jumped in, they would also lose health .
"Halt!" a dwarven lady shouted as she ran from a tent at the travel-worn Lu Li .
"I'm Linken's friend . I was entrusted to bring this sword," Lu Li said as he quickly gathered himself . He did not want to have a conflict with this NPC who was above level 50 . Furthermore, Donova Snowden was an important NPC with many quests, so he tried his best to not insult her .
"Why are you only here now?" Donova asked as her facial expression eased a little .
"Linken has lost his memory . He's currently recovering at Marshal Camp in Un'Goro Crater . He wishes for you to enhance this blade in accordance to the original agreement," Lu Li explained as he transferred the sabre over .
"What? Linken has lost his memory? Oh, what an unfortunate man . Alright, this is his sword, but it's not complete . I know someone who can make this sword complete . However, it might be difficult to talk to him," Donova Snowden said .
"Linken is my friend; I will try my best," Lu Li promised vehemently .
"Listen, I know someone who can assist you, but you must first acquire the Videre elixir . Gregan Brewspewer can help you with this . His whereabouts are not definite, but I do know that he's been watching over Feralas . "
Gregan Brewspewer could create this type of elixir, but he required one crucial ingredient – Evoroot .
This herb was guarded by Miblon Snartooth, a Gnoll Bos . However, it could instantly kill Lu Li, so his only choice was to outsmart it
When normal players attempted this quest for the first time, they would be at their wits' end .
However, Lu Li already had previous experience from rebirth and had a strategy . He had already prepared some large chunks of fresh meat in his bag beforehand .
He would throw these near Miblon Snarltooth, and the smell of blood would attract it away . Using this method, Lu Li stealthily dug out the Evoroot .
Gregan Brewspewer then used the Evoroot to create the Videre elixirs .
After returning to Winterspring, Donova Snowden instructed Lu Li to bring the Videre elixir to Tanaris' Grave .
Videre Elixir was known by players to be a suicide elixir . After consuming it, the player would immediately fall unconscious, but would not lose anything .
Only once he was in a spirit-state would it be possible to find the person that Donova Snowden wanted him to find . Gaeriyan was quite hostile towards Lu Li when he arrived . After all, they would not let him rest, even after he had died . However, he was quite lonely, so when Lu Li told him some of his adventure tales his mood began to lighten . It was only after this that he agreed to repair the sword .
After the sword had been repaired, Lu Li confirmed that he would revive .
Because of the effects of the elixir, he did not lose experience, or experience the side effects of a normal revival . With the sword in his possession, Lu Li returned to Donova Snowden . Even after running around like a dog, this dwarven aunty still complained that Lu Li had been dawdling .
"Excuse me, if I give you some compensation, can you also enhance my weapon?" Lu Li asked carefully while she was busy working on the other weapon .
"Boy, this isn't something that a few gold coins can buy," she laughed .
"Go ahead and request anything . If I am able to complete it, I will try my best to . "
Surprisingly, this NPC looked down on Lu Li, despite him being the number-one player on the level rankings and the leader of a major guild . Tens of thousands of players would willingly fight and die for him .
"The quota for this month has already been filled . Come and try again next month," Donova said as she shook her head .
However, she had not rejected him, which gave him some hope . His equipment was already extremely strong, but who could complain about an upgrade?
After the imbuement of the sword was complete, the appearance of the weapon was greatly changed . The nature and attributes of the sword were also greatly increased, but unfortunately, Lu Li was unable to see its properties . The only things shown were the words 'quest item' .
After returning to Marshal camp at Un'Goro Crater, Lu Li met Linken once again .
"Wow, you're very tall," he murmured, looking up at the figure that was approaching him, but after seeing that it was Lu Li, he quickly said, "Oh, it's you . Hurry up and give me my sword . "
Unexpectedly, he did not even mention the carving blade .
Lu Li coldly sneered, "Mr . Linken, I quite like your sword . I feel that the carving blade might not be comparable to it . "
"No, you damned tall man – that is my property! That is my sword!" Linken shouted desperately .
"I fished it out of the water . As for returning it to you, that was due to my good personality . If I don't give it to you, it's because you're unlucky," Lu Li condescendingly laughed .
"You…" Linken's face quickly turned red .
"What? Give me the carving blade . " Lu Li felt that he needed to further assert himself . He did not plan on completing the rest of this NPC's quest . It still required Lu Li to help him recover the memories, so he couldn't complete it, even if he had grinded until tomorrow . Furthermore, nothing good was going to come out of the quest anyway .
From the start, the Linken did not intend for Lu Li to get the carving blade that easily . Sadly, his sabre was now in Lu Li's possession . He was in the wrong as well, so it would not be wise to cause a conflict . Being a level 45 NPC with no memories or weapon, Lu Li wouldn't hesitate to kill him if he had dared to initiate a fight .
