The Great Thief Chapter 834 Paladin Hear

There was nothing that he could do now. It was getting a bit late and Lu Li's mood wasn't great, so he quit the game half an hour earlier than usual.

It wasn't until the next day that he thought about the quest reward that old Fordring had given him.

Yesterday's quest wasn't a huge failure. In addition to the huge amount of EXP, there was also a prestige reward that Lu Li was surprised to receive. It was the kind of prestige that could be used in certain camps, but they were usually only awarded for main quests or important side quests.

Currently, Lu Li had no choice but to pay attention to these prestige points

If you wanted to strengthen your skills, skill books were very important, but so were prestige points.

Lu Li also took out the item that Old Fordring had thrown at him. At the time, he had stuffed it into his bag and forgotten about it. Unsurprisingly, it was a Dark Gold Badge.

Unsurprisingly, it wasn't an Epic item.

Epic items were not easily obtainable, not to mention that the game had only been out for three months.

However, more Epic equips were bound to drop in the upcoming festival.

For example, there was a Fisherman's Hat which allowed retirees to casually make a fortune by fis.h.i.+ng.

A single Epic equipment didn't make a set Epic, as all items had to be of the same grade. In his past life, Lu Li had never heard of a complete Epic set before.

Many players who thought of themselves to be weak would focus on the Trade Skills and have nothing to do with PVP.

The boots awarded for the marathon were the only Epic item in the entire Christmas event that could be part of an Epic set.

Of course, the tens of millions of players would partic.i.p.ate in the Christmas event, so it would be impossible for it to only award one Epic item. As long as you could kill the Festive Boss, you would have a chance at acquiring exquisite materials and rare equipment.

However, Lu Li did not intend to allow his guild to partic.i.p.ate in the Boss hunting this time around.

This year's Christmas Elk was impossible, and would remain impossible even next year. These 99 Elks would set the record for the most players killed by a single Boss, even considering all of the public Instance Dungeon Bosses.

The equip that Lu Li received for completing Tirion's quest was actually quite ordinary in comparison.

Paladin Heart (Dark Gold): All Attributes +20, Special Effect 1: Prayer, Instance Cast. Sacrifice your HP to give HP and Mana to a teammate. 2 hour cooldown. Special Effect 2: Four Paladin Auras available: Crusader Aura – Increase riding speed of all squads and team members within 40 yards by 20%. Devotion Aura – Increase Defense of all squads and team members within 100 yards by 10%. Retribution Aura – Inflict Fear onto monsters that attack teammates. Focus Aura – Concentrate nearby teammates to reduce cast time for attacks. Only one aura can be active at a time and this effect cannot be stacked with other items with a similar effect. Equipment Requirement: None, Durability: None.

On the back there was an inscription: Race does not determine n.o.bility. I have seen the n.o.blest Orcs and the worst humans. I know some Orcs to be respectable like the n.o.blest paladins. And I know some humans who have the cruelest souls – they are as evil as the undead!

This was obviously a Paladin item, as the 20-point increase to all Attributes was the most useful property for Lu Li. The remaining effects would just be secondary for him.

Even so, Lu Li was quite impressed by the four auras.

The Crusader aura was an accelerating skill that only applied to mounts. Both the Devotion Aura and Retribution Aura reduced damage dealt, while the Focus Aura was very useful for Magic professions that were struggling to cast their spells because they were being constantly attacked.

It was just a pity that they couldn't be used at the same time.

Lu Li currently didn't have a better Badge, so he decided to use this one for now.

His other badge was the so called PVP badge.

Adventurer's Exploration Badge (Special): Agility +10%, Movement Speed +10%, Special Effect: Instant cast. Dispel all movement restrictions and debuffs on your character. 2 minute cooldown. Equipment Requirement: None. Durability: None.

Tirion Fordring had actually rewarded him with something worthwhile. According to the strategy guides, the reward for this quest was actually just an ordinary Gold equip; it wasn't supposed to be a Badge.

Badges and Necklaces were rare equipment, so most players just used whatever they could get their hands on.

Lu Li sighed emotionally when thinking about the old man as he set off on his trip back to the main city. He had to partic.i.p.ate in the marathon, as the reward was a pair of Epic boots.

If he remembered correctly from his past life, the winner of the first pair of boots was Innocent Child.

Druids could turn into cheetahs, which gave them an inherent advantage. However, Lu Li's Child of the Forest Transformation was faster than the ordinary transformation.

Lu Li wouldn't hold back this time; his Child of the Forest skill wasn't a secret anymore.

Of course, the marathon wasn't so simple that the fastest runner would win. There were many factors involved, such that even Lu Li was unsure if he could win.

After completing the registration, Lu Li joined the compet.i.tion of the day.

There were two matches on today, but the players were to be determined by the System through drawing lots.

Ruling Sword's first was against a medium-sized guild and their second was against a guild that wasn't even in the top 500. Lu Li and Moonlight were the only two players who fought.

When Lu Li's stalling strategy was revealed, the experts of Dawn's major guilds followed suit.

If they were about to win, they would stall and restore some of their HP and skill cooldowns.

Of course, this was only suitable for situations where the skill gap was quite large. Otherwise, the tactic would not only be ineffective, but it might even cost them the round.

In the team matches, Lu Li sat one out while Moonlight sat the other out. This was used to train other players in the guild.

New players in Ruling Sword could partic.i.p.ate through these team matches, but this was a.s.suming that they were registered with the professional a.s.sociation. Otherwise, they could only play for an a.s.signed club.
