Lu Li had met Marshal Maxwell once before, but they didn't have a close relationship.
That was why he had dragged Xiaoba Jiang along with him. This little girl was lacking in other aspects, but she had high Charisma. Even the Tauren NPC from the opposing faction treated her kindly.
Some people with high Charisma could easily trigger quests, and the NPCs would give them all sorts of conveniences, such as giving them equipment and potions. They might even roll up their sleeves and personally go into battle to help. However, if one's Charisma was low, even if they were lucky enough to trigger a quest, it would still be difficult.
It was said that there was a beggar in Silvermoon City who was starving to death, but he still rejected the players' bread. His Charisma was too low.
He would rather starve to death than give you a quest!
Marshal Maxwell was in the northern part of the Burning Steppes, in the Blazing Flame Cave. The tribe's flight point was nearby, which proved the saying that the most dangerous place was the safest. It was unknown whether he was brave because of his skills, or if he was stupid enough to not understand the situation.
Lu Li could transform into a crow, and Xiaoba Jiang could also transform into a moth — oh, no, a butterfly. That was why it was easier to fly up.
"Who's there?!" Two guards appeared from the shadows. Judging from their attire, they were probably scouts. Setting up camp right under the tribe's noses, these scouts were probably very powerful.
This camp had always existed. Even during his rebirth, he had never heard of any guild daring to rush over and destroy it.
"We're adventurers from the Alliance." Xiaoba Jiang returned to her original form and came up to greet them. Lu Li followed behind her. He was speechless when he saw the two fierce-looking guards relax their guard. If it was him, he would probably have a knife to his neck to talk to them.
"We don't welcome strangers here. State your purpose," the guard said in a serious tone with a gentle tone.
"We're looking for Marshal Maxwell," Xiaoba Jiang said obediently.
The two guards looked at each other with nervous expressions. It seemed that these two fellows had come prepared. They actually knew of Marshal Maxwell's existence.
"I have some information regarding Blackrock Spire that I would like to present to you, Marshal. By the way, I once rescued Marshal Windsor from Blackrock Depths. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to protect him and he eventually died under the claws of the Black Dragon," Lu Li said, slightly raising his voice.
"Windsor …" A sigh was heard not far away. Then, Lu Li saw a human warrior in heavy armor appear.
The two scouts bowed and saluted the warrior. After that, they once again disappeared into the darkness without a sound.
"Marshal Maxwell, hello," Lu Li greeted Xiaoba Jiang.
The warrior did not deny his identity. He first greeted Xiaoba Jiang with a smile, and then formally introduced himself to Lu Li.
"I remember you. You're a brave adventurer."
"I'm ashamed. Although I'm brave, I'm weak. I couldn't save Marshal Windsor from the claws of the Black Dragon," Lu Li immediately said humbly. He was not just trying to please the other party. He truly felt that it was a pity.
Lu Li treated Marshal Windsor as his friend. He met this old knight when he was mourning for Anduin Lothar in the Burning Steppes. Together, they exposed Major Samuelson, the Faceless One who was lurking in Stormwind City. Then, they released him from the prison in the Blackrock Abyss. Together, they faced the Princess of the Black Dragon. In the end, Marshal Windsor died under the claws of the Black Dragon, just as he imagined in the Medivh Tower.
Lu Li could only watch as his friend died. There was a period of time when he regretted releasing Marshal Windsor from the prison.
"You don't have to blame yourself too much. He's an admirable warrior. He's not afraid of hardships for his principles." Marshal Maxwell praised his comrade generously.
"I'll definitely kill Onyxia. A warrior's blood cannot be shed in vain," Lu Li said resolutely.
"I believe in you, my friend," Marshal Maxwell said as he patted Lu Li on the shoulder. "But you must act according to your abilities. If you don't have enough strength, you will only cause tragedy to befall you. Onyxia will definitely pay the price. The days of the black dragon's rampage are numbered."
In other words, you're too weak. Going there to kill the Princess of the Black Dragon is simply courting death.
"Yes, I'll work hard to improve my strength," Lu Li said before nudging Xiaoba Jiang with his elbow.
"Uncle Marshall, we're in trouble now. In the Blackrock Pagoda — — the Blackrock Pagoda controlled by Onyxia's brother, we met a very powerful Draconian. He's very fierce and unreasonable. He brought six of his lackeys with him …" Hachi Chan complained.
If it was Lu Li who said this, Marshal Maxwell's most likely response would be to pat Lu Li on the shoulder and tell him to wait until he was strong enough to fight.
However, it was different when it was Xiaoba Jiang. Marshal Maxwell asked Xiaoba Jiang to describe the characteristics of the Draconian. After a moment of silence, he said, "According to your description, this Draconian should be the butcher Drakkisath. He was the one who led Nefarian's army to invade our territory and kill our people. That's right, we should make him pay."
"We have to get rid of him," Hachi Chan agreed with an imposing manner.
"If you can kill him, I will reward you handsomely," Marshal Maxwell said.
Then, Lu Li and Xiaoba Jiang received a mission. They had to kill General Drakkisath and bring General Drakkisath's token to Marshal Maxwell.
"We can't beat him. He'll use Ignite, and then we'll lose all our armor. Even a small monster can kill us," Hachi Chan said with a slight exaggeration. In fact, General Drakkisath's Ignite only reduced a portion of his armor. It wasn't to the point where it was completely reduced to zero.
"I have some potions here. Maybe they can help you."
Although Lu Li already knew that bringing Xiaoba Jiang with him would be beneficial, he didn't expect to get Marshal Maxwell's potions so easily. If Lu Li remembered correctly, these potions were good for increasing armor or reducing fire damage.
"Thank you, Uncle Marshal. We will definitely kill General Drakkisath, his master Nefarian, Nefarian's sister Onyxia, and Nefarian's father … What's his name again?"
"Nesario," Lu Li wanted to cover his face. He couldn't bear to look at her. Although Hachi Chan is indeed young, is it really okay to act cute and obedient like this?
"General Drakkisath is indeed difficult to deal with. How about this," Marshal Maxwell said seriously, "There is an orb in General Drakkisath's command hall. It's a Teleportation Orb. As long as you engrave this mark on it, we can teleport from the camp's Teleportation Orb. Although I can't leave because I'm accused, I can send two soldiers to help."
