"This..."

The hostess hesitated and seemed to be contacting someone. After a while she said, "I have asked the interested person, and he has agreed to your request."

"Thank you," Lu Li sighed in relief.

As long as Remulos was informed, there wouldn’t be a problem. Ravenholdt Manor was famous because of its mystery, but they were nothing compared to the strength of the Cenarion Circle. Almost every Druid was a part of that religious sect.

Lu Li couldn’t even imagine the consequences if he accidentally got Remulos’ brother killed.

"But Lu Li..." the hostess added, paused, then continued, "You need to be clear on what your position is. If you ask any more questions about the content of quests next time, there will be a real chance that you could offend someone. This is my advice to you, because you’ve had so many glasses of my ale."

"Of course. Thank you for your advice," Lu Li said solemnly.

Water Fairy didn’t say anything and watched on as Lu Li talked with the hostess. She had been eyeing his ring the whole time, and Lu Li could visibly see her swallowing when she did so.

This female tycoon had a greedy heart for good equipment.

Lu Li didn’t give her a chance to speak before maliciously crushing her greed.

"It’s bound to me, so it’s untradeable."

"You’re holding out on me," Water Fairy said bitterly.

The Hostess left after giving the quest; if she stayed for too long the other players would get curious. As more players found out about this place, it would become more difficult to receive quests here.

"Do you want to get players, or do you want me to? It’s a five player Instance Dungeon, so we can only have three other players," Water Fairy said.

"Your guild has a tank called Deep Watersong, right? You get him, and I’ll get a healer and a Thief," Lu Li said decisively.

"A Thief? Why do you want another Thief? The both of us are already Thieves," Water Fairy asked in surprise.

With a regular composition, it would take at least one day for them to clear Maraudon.

There was also the possibility that they would be wiped a few times. Maraudon’s Bosses weren’t that hard, but there were quite a few of them. Moreover, the small mobs were quite powerful. On average, players died ten times in Maraudon, with seven of those deaths being because of the small mobs.

"Have you been to Maraudon?’ Water Fairy asked curiously.

No one had heard the announcement for the Maraudon First Clear yet. Did that mean that Lu Li had tried and failed in the past?

"Not really," Lu Li responded vaguely.

The healer was obviously Hachi Chan, and as for the Thief, Lu Li called Cain’s Left hand. This guy had recently obtained some good equipment, which would be helpful for this task.

Deep Watersong was considered one of Drizzle Court’s strongest players, but he wasn’t a professional player. He just played PVE, which allowed him to live at peace with the girls.

Azure Sea Breeze was Dawn’s number one Main Tank, and Deep Watersong couldn’t really compare with him. However, he was definitely the number one Bear Tank, and was known for his extremely high HP. He also had quite a few damage reduction skills and could occasionally heal himself.

Lu Li gave Water Fairy time to get some supplies before transporting himself to the Moonlight Forest.

Outside the Moonlight Forest Temple, Lu Li saw the ever sleep-deprived Remulos.

Prior to Lu Li’s, many Druids had gathered here and many of them were players. Ever since this place had been opened to the public, players of all races had gathered to try and gain something.

Since it was open to all races, there was naturally no division between Alliance and Horde.

Or at least, that distinction didn’t exist within the Moonlight Forest. The players could still attack each other, but they had to be prepared to face the wrath of a level 60 Druid NPC , who could basically one-shot any player.

These players waited quietly for Remulos to wake up.

They all had a deep reverence for this master, especially because of his great strength. Only a few individuals dared to wake up the Keeper of the Grove.

In his past few encounters, Remulos opened his eyes as soon as Lu Li arrived.

"Your Excellency, I have brought news of Maraudon," Lu Li said as he saluted the powerful Keeper of the Grove. His unfaltering attitude was a stark contrast to the trembling players around him.

"Maraudon..." Remulos recalled before shaking head and sighing, "my poor brother..."

"I have received a request – a person wants to know about some things of the past. so I have been asked to bring back the Soul of the Esteemed Zaetar," Lu Li explained respectfully, then asked, "I have already received my employer’s guarantee that Zaetar will not be harmed in any way. Do you have any concerns with this?"

"I’m not too worried about you," Remulos responded as he waved a twig in his arm, then said, "If you can, after you’re done with Zaetar’s soul, you can give him back."

"Pff."

Fortunately, Lu Li wasn’t actually drinking any water – otherwise, he definitely would have spat it out.

What was the meaning of this?

Why was it so different from what he had expected? Although he thought that Remulos might not be that close to his brother, he would want to help because they were blood related. However, he didn’t anticipate for Remulos to ask him to send his brother back.

"Yes," Remulos assured him. "Do you think I’ve never been to Maraudon?"

"Then, did you defeat Princess Theradras?" Lu Li was very curious about the matters of these so-called immortals.

"It wasn’t even a challenge," Remulos said as he shook his head. "Those petty creatures couldn’t withstand my strength, but I didn’t take my brother back because he didn’t want to leave."

This was the son of Cenarius, a great demigod who was second to none. How could Remulos allow someone else to torture his brother?

There had to be something that Lu Li didn’t know that was being kept from him.

"In that case, I will act according to your wishes," Lu Li agreed. He was a little disappointed as he left, as he had not received a quest like he had expected.

"My brother should be awake; you can ask him what he needs you to do. If there is something, do it and I’ll repay you," Remulos added.

"Thank you for your generosity. I will do my best," Lu Li said before entering a Transportation Portal to leave the Moonlight Forest.
