The Great Thief

Another piece of equipment was looted as Lu Li shut his eyes in pain.

Skull of Gul’dan!

This was the Skull of the Orc Warlock Gul’dan, which held a terrifying power inside that could draw out the evil in one’s heart. After Illidan Stormrage got this treasure, he turned into a powerful demon.

It was said at the time, in order for Gul’dan to gain even more power, he went to Sargeras’ tomb and died there in the end. His body was shredded into pieces by the demons in the grave, while his head was taken away by a Storm Raider Warlock back to Draenor.

This skull changed hands a few times in the battle.

Harkkan Skullsplinter, chief of the Ribchewer clan, ended up with it and hung it in front of his own chest, all the way until Grommash Hellscream paid him a visit.

Grommash killed Harkkan, subduing the Ribchewer clan and giving the Skull of Gul’dan over to Ner’zhul.

Afterwards, Deathwing and Ner’zhul formed an alliance, expressing immediate interest in the skull that Ner’zhul had on his table. Although Ner’zhul wasn’t willing, because of the current situation, the Skull of Gul’dan ended up in the hands of Deathwing.

In the battle between Deathwing and Khadgar, Khadgar observed Deathwing’s weaknesses. Taking advantage of Gruul and his spell that was capable of melting the Black Dragon’s armor, Deathwing’s body instantly began to crack. He had no choice but to drop his armor and flee. In the chaos, Gul’Dan’s skull was dropped, with Khadgar picking it up.

The Skull of Gul’dan had been passed around Azeroth from Dalaran to Lordaeron, and had even belonged to Kel’Thuzad for a while too.

Although he absorbed the power of the Skull of Gul’dan, he didn’t become as handsome as him, but rather became bigger, taller and stronger. A long, crooked horn grew from his forehead, while bat wings sprouted from his back and his feet became powerful hooves.

Illidan not only inherited the strength of Gul’dan, but also inherited his memories. This gave him many secrets that others weren’t to know, including the whereabouts of Sargeras’ tomb and what was inside it.

Although the power inside the skull was nearly completely gone, Illidan had still kept it the entire time.

It was often placed on Illidan’s table, and sometimes was taken to serve as a paperweight. Whenever Illidan was deep in thought, he would pick it up and play with it in his hands, even speaking to it from time to time.

Although it wasn’t Legendary equipment, the attributes were better than Legendary. With complete attributes and three strong special effects, it had all the attributes magic roles had been dreaming of.

Lu Li sat desolately to the side, holding Water Fairy’s hand – this gave his weak heart a bit of consolation.

Remnant Dream looked at Lu Li’s light-green face, squatted down and kept looting.

A distinctively crafted warblade was pulled out.

“Hello!”

Li looked at Remnant Dream with dissatisfaction.

“Points, give up your points! Anyone who can wield this sword come out with your points!”

“80 points!” Azure Sea Breeze cried at the top of his voice.

“Pfft!”

“You’re a Tank; what’s the good in taking it?” Lu Li thought to himself.

“85!” Sesame Rice Ball’s face was serious.

“Bro, it says up there that it’s only for Warriors and Thieves. You’re a Warlock.”

“Mmm, 100. This weapon is really good,” Moonlight said seriously.

And so everyone kept bidding their points. There were seven or eight people, not counting those joking around. Lu Li was looking up as he fell down next to Illidan’s corpse.

At this moment, the System actually distributed a First Clear reward.

This also meant that there was no more loot. Only after all the items had been picked up would a First Clear reward be released.

Cursed Vision of Sargeras!

At this moment, Lu Li felt that he had been visited by the goddess of luck.

Many people thought that no matter the Attributes of the Cursed Vision of Sargeras, it was still better than the Warglaive of Azzinoth.

“I got the Off-Hand Warglaive of Azzinoth!” Cain’s Left Hand exclaimed gleefully.

“Oh, that’s good. Why doesn’t Dreamy give another one to Left Hand? Then, it’ll be a pair,” Azure Sea Breeze giggled.

What else could Lu Li say? He felt it made a lot of sense too.

The other few Thieves also showed off their rewards. Water Fairy received a Skill Point.

Sky Moon clearly let out a relieved breath. He took the blade that Remnant Dream had looted, as well as Cain’s Left Hand’s one, pairing up the Warglaives of Azzinoth.

Under Lu Li’s confused gaze, Sky Moon placed the two weapons into Water Fairy’s hands.

“Congratulations Water Fairy sis on your wedding. These are our congratulatory gifts from the First Clear team!”

Lu Li was especially emotional; he was unable to speak.

Thinking about it now, everything had an explanation. It was no wonder the First Clear team had been pushing forward with such vigor, and why Sky Moon had brought along five Thieves.

They were very lucky to have gotten the First Clear, otherwise, it would be too late to cry.

“What are you emotional for? We’re not giving it to you,” Azure Sea Breeze chided as he brushed past Lu Li.

“Shut up, you single dog!” Lu Li retorted coldly.

“Hahaha…” The others roared with laughter; Azure Sea Breeze had been deeply hurt.

With these congratulatory gifts given to Water Fairy, it was actually the same as being given to Lu Li.

Water Fairy smilingly equipped herself with the weapons. At least weapons in the current patch could be sold after being equipped.

Lu Li looked eagerly at his partner flaunting the weapons in front of him, with hatred overfilling in his heart. He thought about going for a walk together at night, then tying the knot tomorrow. He had to make her understand the principle of the man being in charge.
