"I've always been thinking, why don't you just send out some guardians?" Lu Li asked. He suspected that the NPC had dug a hole and was waiting for him to jump in.
"Eh..." An awkward expression appeared on Remulos' face as he shook his head and said, "I won't hide anything from you – the magic circle that Nozdormu had set up was not entirely complete. It might cause the death of those who teleport with it."
Lu Li was certain this wasn't true. "That's impossible. In terms of time magic, no one is better than Nozdormu. If he can't send a group of people to another time and space, I can't possibly imagine any of your opponents being able to do the same."
"Of course. They aren't more skilled than Nozdormu, but they don't value life itself at all," Remulos said hatefully.
The Lord of Time, Nozdormu, teleported people back, but at least half of them would die. However, things weres worse for their opponents, who only had about a 10% survival rate. The difference was that they didn't want to sacrifice their own, but their opponents were willing to send out a great number.
Remulos and his allies had been prepared to sacrifice some of their own to complete this mission.
It was only then when they figured out that adventurers couldn't die and were happy to help NPCs complete risky quests.
Lu Li quickly figured out that they planned to use players as cannon fodder. As for the undying part, players didn't die, but they lost experience and equipment too. As soon as Lu Li heard that he might die, he began to find ways to back out.
The other players were right – any equipment on Lu Li was priceless.
He couldn't afford to lose anything!
"Maybe this might change your mind."
Remulos understood that Lu Li had something on his mind holding him back, so he took out an ite and passed it to Lu Li.
Lu Li took one look and couldn't let go anymore; what he was about to say no longer mattered. As long as he had this, he wouldn't be afraid to die anymore. Not to mention, it was only a 50% chance in the first place.
Darkmoon Card: Void (Special): Instant Use. Has a 50% chance of Revive. Upon a successful
Revive, HP and Mana regen increased by 20%, EXP gain increased by -5%-10%. Number of uses
remaining: 4/5. Effective when the item is placed in the backpack. Equipment requirement: Level 10.
Nobody knew better than Lu Li of the value and use of this item.
He had a Darkmoon Card too, but he had given it to his little trainee. While his little trainee really did deserve his respect, he also wanted to impress the Gnome Thief that supported her so that he could obtain the information he wanted.
He didn't expect to receive this reward first, even before he completed the quest.
Even if there were no other rewards, this was still a good trade.
"Sir, can I also recommend a few other masters to complete this quest together? They are definitely the best of the bests," Lu Li asked passionately.
"That would be a little hard. I only have one spot of recommendation," Remulos lamented.
