The Great Thief

Chapter 1472: The Roar of the Dragon Slayer

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Soul Eater left in disappointment.

Although Water Fairy expressed that Soul Eater had to leave the gaming circle, she could not stop him if he insisted on staying.

Out of several hundred elites, only a few dozens were willing to leave with Soul Eater. They were the true followers he had obtained throughout these years. People with outstanding skills were hard to purchase. In this sense, Soul Eater’s followers were not the top players.

Even though some elite players had a new contract with Soul Eater, he couldn’t force them to go with him, because the contract itself was controversial.

In fact, it wouldn’t even be possible for Soul Eater to take his few dozens of followers with him if Water Fairy had pushed him harder. Otherwise, he would be asked to pay a huge sum in damages if he took these players with him. However, Lu Li managed to persuade Water Fairy to let him go and form his own grassroots guild with his followers.

Lu Li was not a saint; he was not kind enough to show any sympathy to his rivals. The reason for letting him go was simple.

If Soul Eater had run out of money and didn’t want to quit gaming, his only way out was to become a subordinate of others. His management skills might catch attention from other sponsors.

Lu Li wanted to leave him with some hope, so his life would not be totally ruined.

If Soul Eater hadn’t been pushed to the limit, he would not be willing to be a subordinate of someone else. He had accumulated a small fortune over his years as a guild leader. Most of the reward he had taken from sabotaging the Stronghold was money. Wings of Dawn were rich, and had likely paid an exorbitant amount.

For someone who had both money and ability, was it for sure that he would be successful?

Lu Li would say that holding this view was too naive. Perhaps it was the example of Lu Li that made Soul Eater quite optimistic about the prospect of leaving the Peerless City. He felt that he was more competent than Lu Li, and believed that gathering and training some players to win a championship was easy.

He might draw attention from elites and ordinary players, but the real players were not very optimistic about his plan.

Half a Cigarette, who had been quite friendly to Soul Eater, had clearly told him not to expect to be successful overnight.

As for Lu Li ...

He was a monster!

While Lu Li had helped the Water Fairy to plan, he had done nothing more. Everyone thought Lu Li would swallow up Drizzle Court and Peerless City, but he didn’t. It was still unknown who would be in charge of the combined club in the future. Lu Li and the Water Fairy had just started dating. Therefore, he did not get too involved into the affairs of Peerless City.

Sometimes, people thought Water Fairy was nothing more than a little girl. However, if you carefully thought about that, you would realize she was the person who had built several guilds and clubs on her own, such as Drizzle Court, Peerless City, Blue Universe, and Concealed Heavens. Cleaning up the Peerless City was never a big deal for someone like her.

In less than two days, the Donghua Cup received an application form from Peerless City.

Such minor turmoil was not able to affect Peerless City, but Water Fairy still made some adjustments.

She transferred a group of elites from Drizzle Court to fill the Peerless City, recovering the insignificant loss immediately. However, regarding the players, she made some other adjustments.

Vegetarian Mosquito joined the Drizzle Court and became their hunter.

Green Flag Wine and Deadly Gold Underpants also returned to Drizzle Court.

Now, there was Deadly Green Orange, Star Baby, Water Fairy, Green Flag Wine and Deadly Gold Underpants in Drizzle Court – a total of five star players.

What a luxury!

Five star players in a club! Even Glory Capital did not have such a line-up.

The professional league didn’t bother to check the number of star players in each club. Drizzle Court and Peerless City were regarded as two independent teams. There weren’t even more star players in Glory Capital and Gale Legion combined. This was why the major clubs were beginning to develop sub-guilds.

Ministers being more powerful that their emperor was not a good thing.

Although Peerless City had not been strong enough to be able to suppress Drizzle Court, their strength made people mad. It was the success of Peerless City that made Soul Eater feel that he was the person responsible for the glory of both Drizzle Court and Peerless City.

The money offered by the Water Fairy surely could be offered by someone else.

Therefore, it was preferable that the main club remained strong. After the adjustments, Drizzle Court became much stronger that no one could compare. Lu Li would rather compete with the team of Glory Capital. He didn’t want to confront a team with five star players.

A team like this was almost invincible!

However, this was at the expense of Peerless City. Even so, the few left were not sad, but saw hope.

Water Fairy had focused on the success of Drizzle Court, but it did not mean that she would destroy Peerless City.

It was hard to say what heights Peerless City could reach. Green Flag Wine, Deadly Gold Underpants and Vegetarian Mosquito had left the guild and someone had to fill their presence.

The new president of Peerless City was Falling Star, the former president of Drizzle Court. Water Fairy would personally serve as the new president of Drizzle Court.

At the time when Water Fairy was readjusting Peerless City, Lu Li had started planning on attempting a new Instance Dungeon. These days, Ruling Sword had been preparing for the new adventure, personnel arrangements, equipment accumulation, potion brewing, and a walkthrough of related tasks.

When all this was about to be completed, Lu Li also vaguely knew that Glory Capital was about to complete Onyxia’s Lair. He knew that he could not wait any longer. He had to finish the tasks before Glory Capital completed the Instance Dungeon. Otherwise, he would lose his advantage.

On this day, he took a quest item and went to see Bolvar Fordragon.

After Marshal Windsor and Lu Li exposed the true identity of the Princess of the Black Dragon, Marshal Windsor was killed. Lu Li received the quest from Bolvar Fordragon, who offered a reward to anyone who could bring the Princess of the Black Dragon’s skull to him.

The skull was also revenge for Marshal Windsor.

The first person who completed the task would receive a great reward.

Three Legendary items, along with a “Dragon’s Roar” status effect would be given.

Three Legendary items were good enough for any major guild. Many wild Bosses only dropped two Legendary items.

However, Lu Li appreciated Dragon Slayer status effect the most.
