The Great Thief

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

To summon the Raven Lord Anzu, you had to fulfil two requirements.

The first was an essential item – an Essence-Infused Moonstone. This was a quest item that could be obtained from a Druid flying quest. It wasn’t that hard to activate this quest. There were quite a few Druids who had reached this stage.

After this, this Druid would have to learn Strengthened Stealth.

This wasn’t actually too difficult. Strengthening Skill Books were highly sought after, but with so many players in Dawn, quite a few people were able to obtain them through a variety of methods.

Both Hachi Chan and Innocent Child of Ruling Sword had the Strengthened Stealth skill.

The druids who activated the quest and received the Essence-Infused Moonstone weren’t necessarily able to obtain Strengthened Stealth, but those who did have Strengthened Stealth might not have the time to complete the quest. After all, top players were much more interested in training to maintain their spot on the leaderboard rather than being able to fly.

Hachi Chan was one of these obedient children who had met all the conditions.

She had Strengthened her Stealth without anyone knowing about it. After all, the System’s daughter seemed to be constantly completing quests.

Lu Li had actually been reminded of the flying quest, but he chose not to involve himself.

Hachi Chan was already completing the quest. Getting involved would have been trying to show off in front of a master.

“*Cough*, Lu Li…”

Provoking everyone in doing so, Azure Sea Breeze stood up to speak and said, “Why don’t you go rest outside for a bit?”

“Why? I’m not tired?” Lu Li questioned as his face turned black, green, then white.

“You’re the boss; we can’t have you do everything yourself. Why don’t we swap someone else out to enter the Dungeon, like Dreamy? She hasn’t entered in the Dungeon yet; she’s still crying outside now. That poor little girl…Surely it is the responsibility of a kind, benevolent leader as yourself to take care of the weaker little ones?”

“Why don’t one of you go?” Lu Li shot back. He obviously wasn’t too pleased with this plan.

These guys were really gutsy; they actually dared to have their boss follow their own directions. Lu Li was already being too down-to-earth, so much so that he had buried himself in the earth.

“Damn, we want you to go! You’re such an idiot – you’ve left me no choice but to say it directly. Just get out, quickly.”

Azure Sea Breeze was Lu Li’s best friend. They had been working diligently together since the beginning. It really could be said that apart from Lu Li, the one who worked the hardest to make Ruling Sword what it was today was Azure Sea Breeze. Because of his personality, he was always forthcoming when he was talking with Lu Li.

“No.”

Lu Li was being firm as well this time, and continued, “If you want me to go, then how much money are you planning to give me?!”

Finally, after some bargaining, Lu Li took 300 gold away with him, happily leaving the Instance Dungeon and swapping Remnant Dream in. Anzu was hard to summon, but it wasn’t too much of a problem when it came to fighting him. They would still fight all the same even without Lu Li.

He didn’t have much to do outside either. He had never been good at waiting.

Because of this, he searched all over the place, looking for treasure chests. Although droves of Thieves had already visited this place, because of the complexity of the forest environment, as well as the strangeness of the Bone Wastes, there were still a lot of unexplored nooks.

Eight at this time, he encountered a PVP Horde player, and swiftly finished him off.

As for the ordinary players who were jumping around the place looking for potions and materials, or those clumsy ones who were fighting monsters, Lu Li didn’t have any interest in taking action on them. After all, some people enjoyed PVP while others didn’t, so he only killed those who were playing PVP.

“Come out yet?” Lu Li asked in curiosity. Azure Sea Breeze had called him an idiot, but he never thought he had dubious intentions.

“It’s come!”

Azure Sea Breeze’s voice was filled with something that was impossible to describe. In order to really convince Lu Li, he even broadcast the information onto the world livestream.

Raven Lord’s Steed: Bound Equipment. Unique item. Level Requirement: 60. Requires Riding (150). Summons or releases a giant raven mount. This mount has extremely high movement seed.

Lu Li silently sat on a hill of bleached white bones, then raised his head to look at the dark, starry sky of Terokkar Forest and sadly sighed.

However, he quickly roused himself up again. Who could say that with him in the team, it wouldn’t drop? There was a massive chance of taking the First Clear and having exquisite items drop.

Meanwhile, on the world livestream, the First Clear and the new mount caused excitement to boil over.

In fact, before Ruling Sword’s First Clear, of the other two Auchindoun Instance Dungeons, Glory Capital had taken the First Clear for the Mana Tombs, while the Auchenai Crypts were taken by Stellar Union.

However, unlike Ruling Sword, who also got a mount.

This mount towered over the players, while its name suggested that it could fly.

This was the first flying mount in the game that was dropped through a public Instance Dungeon, which meant that everyone had the opportunity to farm it. As long as they persisted, they had a chance of getting it.

They were all discussing whether the raven mount could fly.

“Who’s it going to?”

Lu Li wasn’t all that interested, although there was once an official announcement that as long as you collected enough mounts, you might be able to receive a Legendary equipment reward.

He still had an ulterior motive, because apart from directly buying a mount from an NPC with money or reputation, most of the rest of the ways of finding one came from Instance Dungeons or quests. His Charisma wasn’t high, so he had no other options.

“Give it to Dreamy; she’s already starting to climb onto it. She’s at the Dungeon entrance – quick, go and have a look,” Azure Sea Breeze urged.

Of course, Lu Li was no stranger to the raven mount. In his last life, he didn’t have it, but he saw others riding it around the place around him, leaving him covered in dust.

The entrances of the three Instance Dungeons of Auchindoun were originally bustling.

Now, it was even more busy. Everyone was crowded around, popping their heads out to have a look inside.

Lu Li took a lot of effort to squeeze himself in, before being able to see Remnant Dream sitting on top of a giant raven, as happy as could be. Quite a few girls were stroking the raven’s feathers.

“Wow, it’s so soft.”

“Wow, it’s so smooth.”

“Wow, it’s so beautiful.”

This mount really did look very beautiful; it wasn’t the sort of raven that was simply all black. Although its feathers were dark, they were dark with a sheen, while being colorful and translucent.

Moreover, it was really comfortable to ride too. For a little girl like Remnant Dream, sitting on the back of the raven almost buried her in the feathers.
