No one would expect a Great Mage to murder his own servant, especially one that came from Dalaran the Magic City .
From the Worgen's description, Lu Li could tell there was something that he wanted to avoid talking about . Lu Li suspected that he was most likely about to die from an illness or had suffered a serious injury .
The Great Mage Ur needed a soul and so naturally, he chose his beloved servant .
Sosa Modnaire - that was the Worgen's name when he was still a mercenary . His soul was transported to a Worgen's body by Ur's dark magic .
He wasn't a simple Worgen like the others; he was a creation of Ur's hard work and dedication to his passion .
Sosa Modnaire was sealed away in the book by a curse . Even the second owner of the Book of Ur did not even know about this . Arugal, in fear of the book being stolen, hid it away in Shadowfang Keep .
In terms of how this relates to the game, only monsters from Shadowfang Keep had a chance of dropping the Book of Ur .
However, the chance of it dropping was extremely low .
Lu Li was lucky because the Book of Ur that he had obtained was the same one used to seal away Sosa Modnaire . The Worgen he had summoned was the poor mercenary that had been locked away in the book for years .
He had been locked away for so long that he had no idea what had become of his master .
"I can set you free," Lu Li offered .
Though not many would agree, Lu Li always saw himself as a moral person . He would feel too uncomfortable ordering a male servant around .
"You're setting me free?" the Worgen asked as he stood up suddenly, but his face was full of rage . "How can you set me free?"
"That's right – you can live however you desire . "
Lu Li expected for him to thank him in gratitude, but the Worgen did not seem like he was pleased .
"Look at how I am now . What kind of a life do you think I would be living, besides…" the Worgen began, then almost burst out in tears and sighed, "I can only stay out for a short while . "
Lu Li was reminded of the effects of The Book of Ur: "Summon a Worgen, 5-minute duration . Cooldown 24 hours . "
"Then, I can't save you," Lu Li said in regret .
He did not empathize with the Worgen very much since he was an NPC, and besides, he was a little blunt with his words . If it were anyone else that had treated him so rudely, Lu Li would have destroyed them .
"Just let me out occasionally and if you level it up, I can stay out for a bit longer," the Worgen said .
"I can let you out, but it'll be like situations like today . Since you're a summoned monster, you don't face the danger of dying like me . "
In simple terms, he would be a punching bag!
The Worgen was angry when he heard this but there was nothing he could do .
"Also, the next time you swear or be rude to me, I won't let you out for an entire month," Lu Li threatened . Having a stranger swear at him was one of his pet peeves that he could not accept . If it were Azure Sea Breeze that had insulted him, he would have been fine with it .
"I… I . . . " the Worgen stuttered, then dipped his head down in shame and said, "I agree completely . "
"Another thing – your name is too long and difficult to say . I'll change your name to Silly Husky," Lu Li said with a serious expression .
"What does Silly Husky mean? It sounds pretty nice . " He was completely oblivious .
The Worgen was nothing more than a series of code put together by the game developers . Although they had instilled in him a lot of human traits and past experiences, he was still far from a real human . He couldn't understand how evil Lu Li was and naively accepted his new name .
"Silly Husky means to be a Hero . Don't worry, I wouldn't trick you," Lu Li assured as he patted him on the head and watched as he disappeared .
The five-minute duration was up .
Obtaining a Worgen subordinate was completely unexpected, but Lu Li was rather indifferent to it .
Silly Husky wasn't a very powerful summon and had a short duration; the only thing he was good for was being a meat shield .
Although he was intelligent, this wouldn't be very useful in a practical sense .
Since the Worgen was summoned with the Book of Ur, he would have to obey Lu Li's order, so it didn't matter whether he was intelligent or not .
Lu Li brought the Painting of Love and Family with him and left Stratholme .
Soon, he would return to this place with his teammates to defeat all the Bosses in the Instance Dungeon .
"Look, I brought the painting you wanted," Lu Li said as he took it out from his backpack and gave it to Tirion Fordring . The old Knight looked nervous .
"Thank you, Elf," Tirion said as he placed the painting on his knees and slowly spread it out .
Lu Li didn't have the chance to look at the painting for himself because he was so focused on obtaining it .
He handed the painting over to Tirion and looked at it closely .
It was a very simple portrait, without any complicated artistic techniques . However, there was an unexplainable warmness that could be felt from the family depicted .
A family of three – a man, a woman and their son .
During this time, he wasn't the founder of the Knights Legion, nor was he the leader of Hearthglen . He was simply a husband and a father that brought happiness and peace to his family .
His expression was kind and loving as he held both his wife and son's hands firmly .
Tirion Fordring sighed and looked his hand . The hands that once played with his son on the island were still as strong as ever, but they had lost their warmth over the years .
"If your son was to see this painting, would he believe me?" Lu Li asked .
"Yes, for sure . I believe the good times we've had wouldn't be replaced by anything," Fordring nodded .
"Let's hope so . I'll head towards Hearthglen then," Lu Li sighed in relief .
There were others that were less fortunate than him and had to collect more items to prove themselves .
"Wait," Fordring stopped Lu Li and said, "You can hand over the items you've collected to Tyran, but he and his Scarlet Crusade will attack you immediately when they see you . "
