Chapter 383: Assassin League
Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations
"I thirst for light, yet, I can’t walk out from the shadows."
These were Doan’s last words. They were also the inscriptions written on the gates of the Ravenholdt Manor.
Ravenholdt Manor was the na of a location, but it also pointed towards an organization – the Assassin League. Although was secretive and most were unsure if this organization even existed, the mbers of the Assassin League were spread across the entire world.
Doan was once a mber of the Ravenholdt Manor.
As a hunter from Ravenholdt Manor, he beca the knight of Silver Hand and fell in love with his old friend’s daughter. Later on, he joined the Scarlet Crusade and lived in seclusion in this small library.
Nobody knew his true identity.
He also had a thirst for the light. Perhaps little Abbendis was his light, but unfortunately, the great difference in age forced him to stay in the shadows.
Following the death of Doan, the system announcent finally arrived – another First Clear, and it was a First Clear in Nightmare mode no less. In the short span of a day, Ruling Sword had taken two First Clears!
The world channel had gone wild, but everyone was used to it.
March Rain leveled up to level thirty, but Azure Sea Breeze had died a little too early. It was a tragedy that he couldn’t receive any experience.
Hachi Chan and March Rain resurrected their dead team mbers and began to split the loot.
"It’s all on you now; don’t disappoint us," Lu Li said as he anxiously patted Remnant Dream’s shoulders.
It wasn’t a guaranteed drop for the item he wanted, even in Nightmare mode.
He wanted the Ravenholdt Emblem, so that he could join the Ravenholdt Manor faction, or rather, the Assassin League.
From the years where the Horde and Alliance faction were at war against each other, many organizations, both big and small, remained. For example, there was the Cenarion Circle, Ravenholdt Manor, MI7, Tirisfal Council, Silver Dawn...
So of these organizations had a faction background, so had a race background, while others had a class background, but regardless, they all had their own norms and history to stand by.
Lu Li wanted to join the Assassin League, not only for their strange and rewarding quests, but also because he liked the fearless attitude of this organization.
There were no rules in Assassin League; you could whatever you wanted. You could even assassinate the executives of the organization if you ever received such a quest.
It would be okay even if you killed Duke Jorach Ravenholdt.
Since his previous life, Lu Li had been wanting to join this organization, so he had been paying attention to the details surrounding it.
As a secretive organization, the Assassin League rarely appeared with its own na. Most of the ti, the organization identified itself as Ravenholdt to outsiders, but in reality, Ravenholdt was only a small part of this massive organization.
It was hard to say how many people were actually in the League. It was quite possible that your significant other or the granny next door was a scout for the organization. So say that for every five people in Azeroth, one of them would be working for the Assassin League.
Of course, throughout their entire lives, most of these mbers wouldn’t even know that they were actually working for the league.
Only around a few thousand people were truly a part of the Assassin League and amongst these people, only a few of them were professional assassins. Most of these people were known by outsiders for their other identities, such as knowledgable Archmages, Demon Slayers, leaders of rcenary groups, bandit leaders, historians... The identities were countless.
What Lu Li wanted to do was to beco a real mber of the Assassin League, just like Doan.
To do so, he had to acquire a Ravenholdt Emblem.
With the knowledge from his reincarnation, he had three available targets.
At the current stage, Doan was his greatest chance. The other two targets were all leaders of large organizations and they were all around level forty to fifty.
Remnant Dream looted her first item, which was a rare material.
The second was a Gold grade equip – Robe of Doan. This was an exquisite magic class equipnt, and after Remnant Dream shared the attributes, everyone exclaid in surprise.
Lu Li’s mind wasn’t too focused on it.
Two chances had already been lost, but there were still a few items left. Even though this was Nightmare mode, the boss wouldn’t drop more than five items.
"Wow, another Gold grade equipnt! Mmm, Hachi Chan, it seems like this is useful for you. If you call big sister, I’ll give it to you."
Lu Li’s expression wasn’t impressed.
"What’s wrong?" March Rained asked. Even if there wasn’t any gear for Lu Li, he usually wouldn’t be too upset.
"Nothing, I’m just not focused. Girl, quit playing. Loot all the items, or else, I’ll let soone else loot it next ti," Lu Li said, trying to hold back his impatience.
As soon as she heard this, Remnant Dream quietened down.
Her tiny hands reached out as Lu Li held his breath.
"Huh, what’s this? How co there’s no attribute description for this? Is this a badge?" With her skinny arms, Remnant Dream dragged out a grey emblem, her face showing a surprised expression.
"I’m taking this. No objections, right?" Lu Li used his authority as a captain to distribute the item to himself.
Although the others were curious about the emblem, Lu Li didn’t plan on explaining, so there was nothing they could do about this.
As a captain who had led them to another miracle, no one would have any objections if he wanted sothing.
The front of the emblem was the outline of a manor. The current Ravenholdt Manor looked completely different, so the outline was most likely what the manor looked like a long ti ago. On the back of the emblem was the imprint of a few words.
"May death bring you to rest."
This was Doan’s last item. The old Mage had offered two Gold grade equips, one rare material and a mysterious emblem.
Besides these, Azure Sea Breeze received a skill point reward, slightly calming his rage from being abandoned.
After this ca the system reward for their First Clear.
Lu Li received an equip. Even thought it was only a level 30 Silver grade equip, it was a rare piece – a necklace.
Bladed Ebon Amulet (Silver): Accuracy 15%, Poison Damage 40%, Special Effect: Certain chance to reflect close-combat damage taken, Level Requirent 30, Durability 52/52.
Lu Li had been using the Rager’s Pendant for a long ti.
Rager’s Pendant (Steel): Hit 10%, Reduces Ice Magic Damage by 5%, Level Requirent: LV10.
Durability: 32/32. (Part of the Rager Equipnt Set, exclusive to lee professions).
It was originally a set, but the Rager Bracer had already been replaced, which left the necklace in an awkward position.
The 5% ice magic damage reduction was decent, but it still wasn’t enough. The small amount of damage reduction didn’t make much difference for Lu Li.
The Bladed Ebon Amulet had way better attributes, which was to be expected from a level 30 Silver grade equipnt.
Thieves still need their accuracy attribute, which effectively raised their damage. The reflection of close-combat damage was a good special effect as well, with the only down side being that it required good luck. Lu Li wasn’t the best with his luck.
What he valued the most was actually the extra 40% poison damage; this was such a good attribute for Thieves who use poison.
Currently, it was still not possible for the system to reward Gold grade equips – level 30 Silver grade equips were the limit. Everyone was satisfied with what they had received, but unfortunately, only March Rain was able to wear her equipnt. The others still needed to level up first.
