The Great Thief

The Dragon Slayer’s roar was the strongest status effect, mainly because of its wide range, which would buff an entire city. If Lu Li handed in the quest, then everyone in Stormwind would receive this status. Correspondingly, if Glory Capital completed the quest, then only the players who were Orgrimmar at the time could benefit from it.

Secondly, the status effect had a longer period of three days. Many things could be done in three days, so Lu Li didn’t rush to hand in this quest. Everyone had not been able to finish the Instance Dungeon of Onyxia’s Lair yet.

However, he couldn’t delay it for too long. Now, Lu Li was planning to use the three-day status effect bonus to complete Blackwing’s Nest.

Lu Li was quite confident in achieving the First Clear of Blackwing’s Nest. After all, the effect of the Dragon Slayer’s roar was powerful – melee Attack power would be increased by 10%, Critical Damage would be increased by 20%, and it also came with a Fire Resistance and Dark Resistance, which was specific to Blackwing’s Nest.

The Princess of the Black Dragon and the Prince of the Black Dragon were related, and their Attributes were almost the same.

The Dragon Slayer’s roar mainly increased melee attack. The ranged occupations would not benefit too much from the buff, but their Critical Damage would at least be increased by 20%. This was the benefit that both the melee and the ranged classes could enjoy, along with the resistance.

Blackwing’s Lair was an Instance Dungeon where melee professions played a major role, especially the Thieves and the Berserkers. They were coldly treated in Onyxia’s Lair, but now was their time to shine. Lu Li planned to bring at least five Thieves and five Berserkers into the Instance Dungeon.

However, this did not mean that the more melee players the better.

Any profession had its reason for existence. Blackwing’s Nest would require the other professions as well. Five Thieves and Five berserkers was the most melees that could be brought to the dungeon.

In some cases, even with higher melee attack, Thieves and Berserkers might not perform better than Mages. In the game, Mages were like moving fortresses, while Shamans and Druid were relatively weak. Hunters, if they had stronger pets, could be among the top in damage.

Before handing in the quest, Lu Li had secretly notified the relevant parties.

Ruling Sword, Drizzle Court, and almost all players in the Peerless City congregated in Stormwind City.

Not only the elites, but also the ordinary players had been called. They were not here for the Dragon Slayer’s roar. Even the elites could hardly keep secrets, let alone ordinary players.

No matter what the reason was, most of the players had gathered in Stormwind City.

Walking through the heavily guarded palace, two guards led Lu Li to meet Bolvar Fordragen.

Lu Li had a very high reputation among the league camp; he even had an official rank. Being together with Marshal Windsor, most of the guards in the Storm City had seen Lu Li before. As he was walking over, guards watched Lu Li with admiration.

Bolvar Fordragen looked a lot older than when Lu Li had seen him last time.

These NPCs also grew old. There was an empire in front of him. As the regent of this empire, there were many things that he needed to worry about. The affairs of Marshal Windsor made him even more exhausted.

“I smelled victory, my friend. Welcome to Stormwind City,” Bolvar Fordragen said. He did not have any comments on the late delivery of quest item by Lu Li.

“This is a taste of revenge, commemorating our mutual friend, Marshal Windsor,” Lu Li responded as he produced a bloody head. Seeing the bloody head, Bolvar Fordragen recalled the arrogance on the dragon’s face on that day.

“He must be very happy to have a friend like you,” Bolvar Fordragen commented.

“Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to change his fate, ” Lu Li sighed, looking depressed. Rebirth didn’t mean he could become an almighty god. Some things couldn’t be changed, even if people were prophetic.

“My child, you say that is a fate. Since it is fate, we are not able to change anything. Reginald had come to terms with death long ago,” Bolvar Fordragen comforted Lu Li. Then, he directed two guards, ” Hang it on the gate. This victory belongs to the entire Stormwind City.”

Lu Li did not agree with the so-called fate at all, but arguing with the NPC was pointless, so he just accepted Bolvar Fordragen’s statement.

“You must have spent a lot of effort to kill the dragon,” Bolvar Fordragen said.

” Yeah … but in order to avenge Marshal Windsor, all sacrifices were worthwhile. I only pity that I was not able to kill her on the spot,” Lu Li firmly responded.

“You did a good job, faster than I expected,” Bolvar Fordragen said, then continued, “The damage caused by Orcs ached, but the new threat is approaching. Stormwind City is faced with a perilous challenge that requires many brave warriors like yourself to defend it.”

No matter how people called him dopey, Bolvar Fordragen’s love for Stormwind City was no less than Marshal Windsor’s.

“Please rest assured that the enemy could only walk through Stormwind City on our bodies, ” Lu Li said.

In fact, the Bosses in the nest were only a projection, according to the background information of Dawn. No matter how many times they had been killed, they would still remain living in the nest. However, the NPCs ignored all these facts. They believed Lu Li had killed the Boss. Even if there was another person handing in the bloody head another day, the NPCs would recognise he was the person who had killed the Boss.

However, the reward for the people coming after the First Clear was not as good.

Lu Li’s reward was three Legendary items, along with a status effect covering the entire city. For people who came after Lu Li, they could only enjoy the Dragon Slayer’s Roar by themselves, and the effect would not be as much powerful as Lu Li’s.

As for the Legendary item … there was only one.

Some people might think that they would obtain Legendary items after they handed in the tasks. However, for a team of 40 players, it would be ridiculous if everyone received one.

Legendary equipment was not easy to obtain. Even for the players who had reached the level cap, not all of them had a Legendary item. The Nightmare difficulty of Onyxia’s Lair had a certain probability of dropping Onyxia’s Skull. There was only one head of Onyxia, and it was not guaranteed. Relying on this to make a fortune was wishful thinking.

Bolvar Fordragen did not forget to offer Lu Li his reward items. He took out a list and said to him, ” These items are from the collection of the Armory. You can choose five of them. ”

Five items?

This was completely different to Lu Li’s expectation of three. Was he suddenly bursting with his own Charm, to be even luckier than the System’s child Hachi Chan?
