Chapter 641: To Have Your Wishes Fulfilled
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
“Since we’re partners, we have to work together,” Lu Li said seriously.
The little Draenei tilted her head for a moment, seemingly validated by Lu Li’s proposition.
“Of course – we did it just then. I cracked his knee and you finished him off.”
“You’re a Paladin; you should be the one to finish them off. I should go first…” Lu Li wanted to cry; it was quite a pain to deal with this little loli.
“Why does the Paladin have to be the one to finish them off?” Jorli was puzzled.
“The Holy Light will allow them to rest in peace. This is the power that has been given to you,” Lu Li explained straightforwardly.
“That makes sense. Alright, next time I’ll finish them off.”
The young Paladin still didn’t fully understand the Paladin doctrines, so she was easy to fool.
In the second battle, Lu Li casted Sap on the Shadow Spider Poacher before using Premeditation into Cheap Shot on the Infernal.
After the two monsters were stunned, the little loli ran over and smashed the Infernal’s knee with her heavy hammer.
Lu Li could actually deal with both of these monsters on his own; allowing her to get the last hit was making the process less efficient.
However, in order to appease her, he had to slow down and leave a bit of HP on the smaller monster.
“I think we work together really well,” the little Draenei said as she swung her hammer around and attacked. Her attacks didn’t deal much damage, but from a technical perspective, Lu Li was surprised to see how rapidly her strikes were.
As she attacked the Shadow Spider Poacher’s knees, she was dealing consecutive critical hits.
She was going to be a Boss! This girl had been born as a Hero Boss and was destined for greatness.
“When you’re attacking, make sure you leave some space to react to the unexpected…”
He didn’t know what was going through his mind, but Lu Li couldn’t help but point out the NPC’s errors. He was well-informed about fighting as he had studied many players’ fighting styles. He also knew a lot about NPCs from the Instance Dungeon Bosses. This meant that he knew how to fight well, and naturally, how not to fight badly.
“If I didn’t have a teacher already, I’d make you my teacher,” the little loli gushed, feeling a bit of regret that Lu Li couldn’t be her teacher.
“That’s okay – I’ll teach you even though I’m not your teacher. But who is your teacher?” Lu Li asked casually as he prepared more Shadow Spider Poachers for her.
“Vindicator Maraad.”
When she said her teacher’s name, Jorli had a look of awe.
Lu Li’s heart skipped a bit; he had almost offended Maraad’s disciple. He really did just narrowly dodge a bullet today.
Maraad was one of the strongest Draenei Paladins. He was the youngest son of light, and in his long life, he had witnessed the infinite war of countless worlds against the Burning legion. This Paladin used his hammer to direct the other races of the Alliance towards the light.
Knowing who this little Draenei’s teacher was, Lu Li finally understood her behavior.
Maraad was probably so busy that he didn’t have much time to educate this young girl. Her lessons were probably limited to simple, basic and boring exercises.
After farming for over an hour, Lu Li had completely cleared out the poachers in the valley. They were level 25 monsters, so the EXP was negligible and the items dropped were rubbish, but he did find quite a bit of Shadow Spider Silk.
The Shadow Spider Silk was quite valuable – each one would sell for at least 20 gold.
There were at least 70-80 of them in Lu Li’s backpack, which was a huge fortune in any case. Even though Lu Li had no shortage of money, the thought still made his heart race.
However, his excitement was quickly extinguished.
All of the items had to be handed over, or his time would have been wasted.
“This is for you; you can keep it. Send it to your sister when you can,” Lu Li said as he handed the 76 coils of Shadow Spider Silk to Jorli with a tear in his eye.
Jorli was touched. “Thank you so much, big bro. I will definitely put in a good word for you.”
Lu Li had been waiting for her to say something like that and let out a sigh of relief.
Jorli took the piece of cloth that Lu Li had originally brought and placed a few fingerprints where Elize had embroidered the pattern. This was probably the way these sisters communicated.
This was what Lu Li wanted – the quest line to progress as per what the strategy had described.
“Thank you, Jorli. You really are a brave little girl,” Lu Li said as he took the cloth back and patted the loli’s head. The Draenei’s horns were cute, especially on this young girl.
“No, I’m a brave Paladin, not a girl.”
Jorli twisted away from Lu Li’s touch and ran back into the camp. She was such a wild child; she wouldn’t even him touch her even after what he did.
After Lu Li completed the second part of the quest, he took the Teleportation Channel back to Exodar. Tailor Master Elize was still sitting in the original position, concentrating on the production of more clothing. It was hard to imagine that such a quiet person had such a lively sister.
Lu Li’s voice suddenly interrupted her work.
“I’m back. I helped Jorli evict those poachers.”
“Ah, it’s you,” Elize said as she rummaged through a pile of cloth and found a cloak for Lu Li. “I’ve fixed this for you. You can’t even see the mending marks; I’m sure you will be very satisfied.
“Thank you very much, esteemed lady. I am very satisfied,” Lu Li said, receiving the cloak with joy.
“I’m glad that you like it,” Elize smiled. To her, she had saved more than a cloak; she might have even saved a relationship.
“I can’t wait to show her. Thank you so much, but I need to leave now,” Lu Li apologized as he got ready to leave.
It wasn’t that he was giving up on the ‘Tailor’s Secret’, but the strategy warned against explicitly asking for items. This would arouse Elize’s suspicions.
She was pure and good, but that didn’t mean she was stupid. How else would she have become the Master Tailor?
“Wait a moment.”
Elize stopped Lu Li and took out a hardcover book. “This contains some of my experience as a Tailor. Seeing as your sweetheart is a tailor, I think she might like this. Give this to her, and may it bless you daily,” she offered.
“I… I can’t thank you enough.”
Lu Li was pleasantly surprised; he had finally completed the quest.
