The Great Thief

“Damn the spirits! They are evil controllers!” after being summoned, Silly Husky hid behind Lu Li’s back.

“He can even speak!”

Demitrian had changed Lu Li’s view. He now knew that Spirit Casting actually still existed on this earth. Lu Li had changed Demitrian’s outlook too. He now knew that Spirit Casters didn’t need to smother away the spirit’s humanity.

“Hehe, let me introduce myself. I won’t change my name nor my profession until the day I die. I am Sossamondnaire. Oh, wait no, I’m now called Silly Husky,” the Giant Wolf poked its head out showing his terror and arrogance.

“Who’s this? That’s impossible,” Demitrian was going insane.

“Ur Mage. Kirin Tor’s Ur Mage. Have you heard of him?” Lu Li tested the waters and asked.

“Of course, he’s a great controller who inherited ancient magic, but I never knew he was a spirit caster,” Demitrian carefully analysed Silly Husky, as if he couldn’t wait to grab and study him in detail.

Silly Husky shivered and ran over to Remnant Dream to play.

Recently, he’d been mentally prepping Remnant Dream. He was instigating Remnant Dream to ask for the Book of Ur from Lu Li. He could then change his family status, and from then on, he and his pretty girl can live a happy and free life.

“I hope I can learn Spirit Casting,” Lu Li said directly.

Evidently, Spirit Casting was not a true independent life skill, but it was a strong addition to the ordinary life skill. Even though Spirit Casting did look a bit evil.

Lu Li wasn’t some villain, but neither was he a gentleman.

To use an old saying, “there was no separation between evil and justice when it came to power”. Not to mention, this was just a game anyways. He had a feeling that if he could learn Spirit Casting, then he very well could make Epic level equipment.

Under normal circumstance, players couldn’t make Epic equipment.

When you get to Lu Li’s level, increasing life skills levels was just unsealing some corresponding blueprints. Not even Epic equipment can be made.

Players’ were limited by their Epic equipment’s levels.

Lu Li, of course, wouldn’t be satisfied at this point. Since this game announced Demi-God and magical types and levels for equipment, then even if it is quite rare, there will still be the possible appearance of these types of equipment. It would be these types of equipment that players will fight over.

“You want to learn to cast spirits? Why? Why do you want to learn? Why should I teach you?” Demitrian bitterly smiled while he shook his head.

Clearly the grace of saving someone’s life was still not enough to learn this type of skill. Not to mention, Lu Li was someone with incredibly low charisma.

“Of course, it’s to inherit and carry it onward. My friend is quite amazing,” it was Azure Sea Breeze who said this. Even though everyone would roast each other in everyday situations, but when it came to critical moments, they still helped one another.

“Just let it fade with time. Spirit Casting was destined to end,” Demitrian was evidently not someone easy to talk into.

“If I was you, I definitely wouldn’t let that happen, not when my lifelong pursuit is right at its end in front of my eyes. I’m not sure how long you’ve learnt this, but I believe it must have been a very long process. And the master who taught you must have held great hopes in teaching you Spirit Casting…” Lu Li had always been a master when it came to reading people’s minds.

“Say no more,” Demitrian hammered the sword sheath which surprised Azure Sea Breeze.

“I won’t kill any good people to fulfil your Spirit Casting, but I have already killed many monsters, and will continue to do so. I am different from you, I am not a failure,” Lu Li completed quests differently from ordinary people and evidently didn’t plan on pleasing the NPC.

Demitrian immediately understood Lu Li’s underlying message – he mocked him as a loser.

He even failed when he enslaved a wind element. In the end, he had even become this wind element’s slave. In the end, he still had to rely on these adventurers to help obtain his freedom – how was he going to carry Spirit Casting forward?

He wanted to refute Lu Li’s statements, since he had spent all his life working hard for Spirit Casting. But he began to feel that he was such a failure that he was destined to disappoint his mentor who held so much hope. He had gotten to his age and still not broken the normal limit of a forger.

“I have killed countless powerful enemies and received the recognition of Demi-Gods,” Lu Li boasted as he reached out his hand and showed his ring.

His tactics were old, but as long as it worked that was all that mattered.

You either use the hammer or use the ring. In the beginning, he saw Demitrian as a forger, so he used the hammer. Now that the hammer’s strength wasn’t enough, it was naturally time to use the ring.

Originally, Lu Li was worried whether Demitrian recognised this ring.

Luckily, while Demitrian’s abilities were not so great, his experience as a forger with ancient inheritance gave him some degree of vision and insight. He couldn’t use words to describe the shock that Lu Li gave him. It wasn’t fair to bully people like this!

The forging hammer wasn’t a big deal; It was considered as something that ordinary humans could touch. However, what the heck was this Demi-God level stuff?!

Also, the Supreme One Ring was forged with Demi-God magic and it was blessed with the existence of the true divine power.

There were people who said that the ring absorbed the power of the Well of Eternity. It used to be filled with the power of the Stream of Magic over many years. And some people said that this ring was also filled with power that the Moon Goddess’ made for her son.

Some even said that the ring in Cenarius’ hands under the blessing of Archdruid had already become a real magic item.

With that ring, Cenarius had become one of the strongest beings in existence in this world.

There were all sorts of rumours, but without a doubt the ring on Lu Li’s hand was truly the Demi-God’s work of meticulous care. It was the Highlord Demitrian’s lifelong pursuit, but it was unimaginable to him – it belonged to another ultimate realm. In fact, he only wanted to make an ordinary Demi-God item.

“Can I have a look?” Demitrian bent down as if he was begging Lu Li.

“I received the recognition from the Demi-God and became its new owner, but I still can’t fully control it. So, you may not be able to fully observe it any further,” Lu Li walked closer and placed the ring in front of his face.

“That’s enough, it’s enough already child. Thank you for letting me see a Demi-God item from legends,” he spoke to himself as he observed the ring in detail. Demitrian acted like a mad scientist.
