"How good would it be if I could recruit this guy?" Lu Li thought to himself . No matter how powerful Keeshan was, he couldn't compete against a Thief who could open someone else's storage .
"We only have a minute until the alarm goes off . Move!" Krakauer yelled as he rushed in like a rabbit .
The second one that rushed in was Lu Li .
It was hard for him to stay calm when an open storage was laid out before him .
The Blackrock Tauren kept many things, but the most abundant of these were wooden logs – they took up ninety-nine percent of the area . After all, this was a mill .
Fortunately, the last one percent was quite valuable .
Runecloth!
From the lowest tier, to the most common ones on the market, Runecloth was of a higher grade than Mageweave Cloth . Usually, only monsters above level 50 would drop them .
Level 45 or above monsters would sometimes drop them too, but the chances were low .
The strength of level 50 monsters was at a whole new level, so the prices of Runecloth had always been very high .
A whole set included 200 pieces and there were 17 here . Lu Li threw out some rubbish from his bag to pick all of them up . Water Fairy chose herbs instead, which were just as valuable, and stuffed as many as she could into her bag .
Wood was valuable too, but was very heavy and would only slow them down . Lu Li and Water Fairy didn't even bother with it .
"Go! Let's get out of here!"
The four NPCs had already found their equipment and gotten changed . Their classes were only identifiable after they wore their equipment .
"Let's go! If we don't go, we're going to be surrounded here!" Messner shouted as he flung a giant fireball into the piles of wood .
Lu Li snatched a few sets of animal hide and was dragged away by the NPCs . The System probably couldn't bear with him any longer; he had forgotten about everything the moment he saw money .
The market price for Runecloth Cloth at the moment was around 90 silver per piece, so 17 sets was worth around 3000 gold coins .
This had come as an unexpected surprise; he thought this was going to be an average quest .
If he used all of this money to purchase houses in Lakeshire and sell them after a few months, he could probably return more than half of the debt he owed to Water Fairy .
Lu Li was still overwhelmed by the joy of his profits and didn't even realize that they had reached safety .
"Thank-you for rescuing us . Is there anything we can do to be of service?" Messner asked . He was a wise person and knew that no one would save them without a hidden agenda, especially from a place like the Blackrock Tauren camp .
"It's about this…" Lu Li began, cutting straight to the point . It was always better to be blunt with soldiers .
"John won't agree to it . Even if you rescue us, there's nothing we can do about it . He's too sad . "
The few NPCs glanced at each other and shook their heads . They felt sorry that they couldn't be of help, but there was no way that they would return to the cages on their own .
"What is there to be sad about? We're not girls . We're asking him to kill some Tauren . Doesn't he want to kill Tauren? Do you guys not want to kill Tauren?" Lu Li asked .
The breathing of the NPCs became heavier, as they remembered being tortured in their cells .
Only Water Fairy glared at Lu Li briefly and waved her dagger in a small motion . It took an immense amount of self-control for her to not stab Lu Li .
"What's wrong with girls? What did girls do to you? No wonder you're still single," she cursed under breath .
The group then made their way to the underground boxing club . This time, John J . Keeshan was in the ring with someone else . From way things looked, he was still the one getting hit .
For who seemed reckless, he certainly wasn't dumb . He was beaten brutally every time, but he always managed to earn his money in the end . His opponents walked away thinking they could win next time, so he constantly had business .
What Lu Li didn't understand was that he was still subjecting himself to pain .
Unintentionally, Keenshan scanned across the audience and found familiar faces . He did the usual, and his poor opponent dropped to the floor before they even realized what had happened .
Then, curses filled the air .
"You guys," Keeshan lamented as he looked at Messner and his other old battalion members .
The last battalion .
There had been so many of them in Bravo Company, but nearly all of them had fallen on the frontlines while they battled against the Tauren .
After some furious debate, they finally agreed that killing the Blackrock Tauren was their common goal . As for the civilians in the Lakeshire, no one mentioned them . The hearts of this military men had already been shattered .
Past soldiers don't die – they only wither .
Keeshan was a skilled Hunter, but he didn't have a pet . He could barely keep himself alive, let alone have the money to feed another mouth .
In the simple inn, they laid out a map and began to discuss their plans .
"We can travel by water – it'll save us a lot of trouble and take us straight to the destination . "
"We'll need a ship," Keeshan said as he turned to Lu Li .
"I'll sort that out," Lu Li nodded . He knew that these NPCs were broke, so he had to pay for this out of his own pocket .
"We'll set foot on land from the east shore of Lake Thresher . Then, all we have to do is to destroy their base, Stonewatch . "
"There are countless Blackrock Tauren inside and the Gnoll army are staying there too . Apparently, there are other unknown enemies as well," Lu Li said, trying to share all the information that he knew .
"We can use bombs to destroy this base . I'm sure that damned Solomon would be willing to donate the Seaforium Bombs that he has been stocking," Keeshan suggested .
Lu Li's saliva almost drooled out of his mouth .
These were the Seaforium Bombs that only the military forces had . If he could get his hands on a few of them and have someone figure out the recipe, that would be perfect . Although the power and stability of these Seaforium Bombs wasn't as great as the Ivy bombs, they were enough to destroy buildings .
Moreover, these Seaforium Bombs also dealt extra damage to Tauren . The poisonous salt in the bombs even stopped their powerful regeneration ability .
"There's no way Solomon would give us Seaforium Bombs," Jorgensen said angrily .
"He will, because he still needs us to protect Lakeshire," Lu Li responded, causing the room to erupt in laughter .
