“Then you can wear the Boneshard set.”
Water Fairy wasn’t someone who liked to lose. Since Lu Li had helped her pick a set, she also had to return the favour.
“Boneshard is a set that doesn’t seem to have any features that stand out,” Lu Li said in response. He had already conducted some research into that set.
This was a set of equipment that Thief could easily acquire, but no one would choose to use it. The words that Lu Li chose were already quite forgiving, but it was actually a rubbish set of items. Of the whole eight pieces of equipment in the set, almost all of them were Elite and the highest level was Gold.
Lu Li couldn’t understand why anyone would equip it.
“Do it, because it looks good.”
Water Fairy made it seem like her reason was irrefutable and Lu Li didn’t have the strength to argue otherwise. In retrospect, he had seen some Thieves wearing the Boneshard set around the city who would take it off when they ventured outside. At first, Lu Li had thought they were insane, but it turned out he was insane too.
After choosing the equipment they wanted, they didn’t need to go and collect it themselves.
Shen Wansan quickly mailed the two sets of equipment within a few minutes of the conversation. he didn’t even ask why Lu Li wanted it.
Lu Li put on the Boneshard set and immediately turned into handsome Mediterranean man.
Water Fairy put on the Thero-Shan, which Lu Li thought would have a more conservative style. However, after she equipped it, Lu Li was a little annoyed. Why were there no outfits that properly covered her? Her face was covered, but it still highlighted her body’s curves…
In any case, the two had to part ways for now.
There was a new Thief that had come to the Profession Hall of Stormwind City. No one was paying much attention to them.
The NPCs in the city often transformed from one form into another, which made the gaming
experience even more realistic. The Game Company had ambitiously tried to create a real world where the locals lived out real lives with the joy and sorrow that came along with it.
Ed Harris had come from the Stormwind City slums, and would follow a veteran’s guidance to study to become a Thief.
He would later enter the Seventh Regiment under further guidance from the veteran.
With the sharp decline in numbers of the Brotherhood of the Horse and the loss of the Alliance Vanguard in Draeren, there was currently a void in the Alliance’s military. Whether you liked it or not, the inhabitants of Azeroth weren’t going to police themselves and so the Seventh Regiment came into existence.
They were differentiated by the fact that they were an elite force. They had been selected from those who had faced the Horde army that had been commanded by the great Chief Kor’kron. The Seventh Regiment’s status as an elite force was gained over time.
They started as a standard regiment of the Alliance, but they had since experienced countless bloody battles and marched through every corner of Azeroth.
They had fought against demons, struggled against alien insects and defended against natural disasters. These days, they fought for the security of the Alliance. In terms of combat prowess, The Seventh Regiment definitely stood out.
As such, the fact that Lu Li was associated with them was very impressive.
Lu Li’s exposed skin was covered in scars from all the battles he had experienced. The soldiers who inspected him at the entrance of Stormwind City immediately bowed to him.
Lu Li actually wanted to reject this gesture.
He wanted to make a low-profile entry to the city so he could slowly familiarise himself with the procedures and become a professional trainer.
But now, any hope of such a thing was lost. When the soldiers paid their respects to this handsome looking man, the players immediately cast their attention to him and some even followed him.
They knew that when a new NPC arrived, it also meant that new quests had arrived.
There were perhaps some Hidden Quests too – this was particularly exciting for some players that enjoyed daydreaming about themselves as the protagonist of their own stories. In fact, Dawn did not have any true Hidden Quests, but they did have some unique quests that could only be completed by one player.
Lu Li quickly walked into Stormwind.
The most perfect lie was one that you told to yourself.
He had to convince himself that he was Ed Harris, who had been born in the in Northshire Abbey. When he was very young, he moved to Stormwind with his father. He remembered lying on his father’s back and listening to him bargaining for a few copper coins. He also remembered waking up in the afternoon one day to the horror of being unable to find his parents when an army of Orcs broke into the city.
Since then, not only had he become an orphan, but he was also alone.
The battle which destroyed the city left behind many people that were similar to him. However, His Majesty didn’t give up on them. He gave them food to eat and sent them to be trained in various professions.
Harris vowed to defend the city and was willing to give up his life for it.
Although the fact that this city was controlled by aristocrats had its drawbacks, it wasn’t that bad for someone who had seen the destruction of their home. After all, weren’t things slowly getting better?
No one would doubt this hero.
Lu Li didn’t know where the real Harris was, whether he was killed or assassinated. It had once even been said that he was a member of the organisation…
However, these things were unimportant. Lu Li was Harris and Harris was back!
First, he returned to the military where an officer received him. Lu Li’s Harris form seemed much older than the major, so the major was very respectful towards him.
“Lieutenant, thank you for your long-term contributions to the Alliance. I will now award you the Alliance Medal on behalf of the Stormwind Military. You can then go on to do whatever you want to,” the Major said seriously as he finally stood up before handing over a small box.
Most retired officers had this item, and it could help them solve many of their problems.
Lu Li participated in the ceremony. He accepted the box and took out to Alliance Medial before affixing it to his chest. With this as a guarantee, no one in the entire Stormwind City would second-guess him.
“Long live the Alliance!”
“Long live the Alliance!”
Two soldiers shouted loudly before he made his final farewell. Lu Li then took an old bag before leaving the military camp to travel to the profession training hall.
Before long, the new Thief profession trainer Ed Harris was online.
There were many trainers in the profession training hall of Stormwind City. In general, they were divided into two major groups. The first was of Combat professions and the other was of Trade professions. As their names suggested, they each targeted different groups of players.
In the Combat profession group, everyone was divided into two further groups according to their level.
The higher-level trainers were called profession training instructors. They were all senior Thieves or even Thief Masters. Of course, these high-level profession training instructors didn’t appear very often.
There was also the kind Lu Li was a part of – a profession trainer.
If you were to give him an extra prefix, you could call Lu Li a trainee professional trainer.
