Lu Li looked at the vicissitudes of life in front of him, then at the girl lying on the bed with her face still haggard, and finally shook his head.
"Mr. Pilturas, thank you for your kindness, but - I refuse this gift."
"Why?" Pilturas was stunned.
"I am a thief, and crossbows are not of much use to me, but you can use this longbow to support your daughter," Lu Li explained, "I hope she can grow up happily.
I believe it will be, because she has a father who loves her."
This decision was not made without hesitation, and Lu Li also tried to convince himself that this was just a game.
It's a pity that this game is too real, and he can't let himself accept that what he sees is data. This is not data, this is a father and daughter. It is a disabled father who almost lost his young daughter.
His livelihood was already difficult, and he lost the longbow he relied on for self-defense. I wonder if the next time he meets this girl, she will become an orphan who has lost her father.
Perhaps because of his sister, Lu Li felt more pity for little Larei.
"But, you have done so much for me, how can I not repay you," Pilturas said with a wry smile.
"I have received a reward that I am satisfied with. Goodbye, Mr. Pilturas. If I have the opportunity, I will visit you often," Lu Li performed the etiquette of the elves and exited this simple hut.
From beginning to end, he didn't know what kind of properties the long bow had, whether it was gold or dark gold.
The weapon used by the Elf Sentinel, and it was a reward for a series of missions, at least it shouldn't be ordinary silver.
The strange thing is that he doesn't regret it at all, even if it is legendary equipment.
Walking out of the closed alley and back to the bustling central streets of Astrana, it was as if he had traveled through two worlds. Lu Li's mind was in a trance for a moment.
"I am Lu Li, the owner of the Sword of Judgment. I will never put myself in that desperate situation again," he said to himself.
He went to the guild warehouse to exchange points for some high-level interpretation potions and intermediate treatment potions, and filled almost half of his backpack. He planned to fight a protracted battle and strive to raise his level to level 30 as soon as possible.
With his current equipment and level, training alone is actually no slower than having a group of mages lead him, as long as he finds the right monster.
In this way, there is no better monster to farm than the spiders in the Spider Web Basin.
Spider Web Basin mainly spawns two types of monsters: Moss Crawler and Moss Venomous Spider. These two monsters are densely distributed and refresh quickly. For physical attack professions, they can be said to be thin-skinned and rich in experience.
With Lu Li's current attack level, he could kill one in about ten seconds, and the experience of a spider was one and a half times that of the same level mobs.
It should be noted that poisonous spiders are highly toxic and you must be willing to drink the antidote.
The materials for high-end antidote potions are very valuable, with each bottle costing several silver coins on average. Of course, this amount of money is a burden for ordinary players, but Lu Li doesn't take it seriously.
When spawning monsters here, another threat is the elite monster. A kind of sharp-toothed spider king is spawned here. It has a high attack speed and the player will be killed if they are not careful.
Lu Li didn't have to worry about this. He was very strong and a thief.
Before heading to the Spider Web Basin, Lu Li also bought a good mining hoe with +5 mining skills from the trading house.
How can you go to the Stonetalon Mountains without bringing a mining hoe? Low-level copper mines can be found everywhere there. For a rookie like Lu Li who has never mined before, it is a paradise for practicing mining skills.
The Stonetalon Mountains are to the west of the Barrens, to the south of Ashenvale, and to the north of Desolace. Here are the Alliance stronghold Stonetalon Peak and the Horde stronghold Sunstone Dwelling.
The Spider Web Basin is located in the southeastern part of the Stonetalon Mountains. To get there, one has to cross almost half of the Stonetalon Mountains.
Lu Li first teleported to Stone Claw Peak, and then ran along the Stone Claw Trail.
He didn't need to fly, as doing so was simply seeking death, because most of the mountain peaks on the way were chaotic areas where wyverns and baby dragons lived.
These ancient "flying lizards" have long been competitors for air supremacy. Occasionally, if there is a threat from other races, they will temporarily put aside their long-standing differences and work together to deal with the intruders.
In addition, there are goblin armed airships. These three are ruthless people who kill without repaying their lives. If Lu Li, a little crow, dares to show up, he will definitely die.
Fortunately, there were not many monsters on the Stoneclaw Trail, and they did not pose any threat to him. Only the occasional orc patrol team passed by.
It was time to stop being a hero. Lu Li was accidentally discovered by a small team. He tried very hard to kill two of the orc warriors. However, the remaining few took out their battle horns and a large wave of cavalry swarmed around them.
And then...
Fortunately he is a thief.
If there is a copper mine on the road, Lu Li will dig it up and it will take no time at all.
It took Lu Li more than half an hour to reach the end of the Stone Claw Trail. According to the markings on the road, the next step was the Windy Cliffs.
Don't wander around the windy cliffs. Dragons and snakes are mixed here, and there are bipedal dragons, lumber monsters, crazy druids, goblin lumberjacks and other killing machines. They are difficult to deal with and have little experience.
Lu Li jumped up and jumped into the Black Wolf River nearby.
The Black Wolf River is rugged and winding, covering almost the entire Stonetalon Mountains.
There were no dangerous species in this river whose water quality was not very clear. There were only some small fish and shrimps that were resistant to pollution. Lu Li turned into a seal in it, and the journey was smooth. He arrived at the Windshear Valley in no time.
"Adventurer, stop!" shouted a loud voice, and two human soldiers stood in front of Lu Li.
Lu Li put away the dagger to show that he was not hostile. He greeted him according to the etiquette of the night elves: "I am a night elf from Astrana in Ashenvale. I hope to meet Marshal Patlau."
"Please wait a moment," a soldier looked at Lu Li warily, then went back to report.
Another soldier held the hilt of his sword tightly, ready to attack Lu Li at any time.
They belong to the Northern Guard Army.
This newly-rising force is the main force of the Alliance Legion's expedition to the Kalimdor Theater. It is a group army composed of various units in the Alliance Barrens-Stonetalon Mountain Theater and Durotar Theater.
Patlau is the supreme commander.
Currently, when the level 30 plot officially starts, Marshal Patlau will be killed by the tribe.
It was a large-scale team task. The reason was that Patlau's **** style made some alliance hawk nobles dissatisfied. They used tricks and united with some tribal forces to provide convenience for the players.
Rather than saying that Patlau died at the hands of tribal players, it is better to say that he died due to the villain's conspiracy.
Lu Li was quickly brought to Marshal Patlau.
Patlau was a paladin wearing heavy golden armor. He was very tall, at least two meters tall. Lu Li suspected that he had Vrykul blood.
"Hello, young adventurer," Patrao said with a smile, "I haven't seen an adventurer here for a long time. I'm really surprised to see you. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
