Genius One Second Remember If You Want To Go? Shuo → Net provides you with wonderful novels to read.

In reality, Weilan Haifeng already had quite a few damage reduction skills. Aside from Shield Wall, his shield's special effect and his chestplate's special effect were all damage reduction skills. However, having more skills was not a bad thing. No team would complain about an MT having too many defensive skills. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

It was probably a barren mountain that didn't even have a name. The article didn't mention a name, and the system didn't give any hints. There were no trees in sight, and it was completely different from Lu Li's hometown, the Night Elves.

Lu Li circled back and forth several times before he found what he was looking for.

A mound of dirt!

Gabriel Cresso was lying on the top of the mountain, his body covered in a layer of dust. If not for the long, rusty blade stabbed into the ground next to him, even if Lu Li searched for three years, he might not be able to find this fellow.

After canceling the transformation and landing on the ground, Lu Li walked over and said politely, "Honorable warrior, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Warrior? Hehe … Warrior … "Hearing Lu Li call him a warrior, Cresso let out a low laugh.

Lu Li didn't say anything. He just stood there and waited quietly.

If you wanted to successfully accept the quest, there were a few key points. First, you had to be able to find Cresso. Secondly, you had to address him as a warrior. This was the key to completing the quest. After that, you had to listen to the story.

"Are you willing to listen to my story? I don't want to bring it to my grave." The warrior laughed bleakly for a while and looked up at Lu Li.

He had a pair of gray eyes. They were dry, sad, and full of vicissitudes. All the emotions were reflected in his eyes. Lu Li knew that he was going to tell a tragic story. Even though he already knew what he was going to tell, Lu Li still nodded and let the story unfold.

Gavis Cresthorn was born into a family of blacksmiths.

He had grown up in the cold and dry wind of the Western Wilderness. When he grew up, he married his childhood sweetheart. Not long after they got married, war broke out. Stormwind City conscripted a large number of farmers to be sent to the frontlines. Cresso was one of them.

Many years later, perhaps seven years, perhaps seven and a half years, the youth became a young man. Garvey Cresso returned to his hometown from the frontlines.

What drove him crazy was that everything he was familiar with had disappeared. The fertile fields that used to be planted with wheat had become barren. The village in his old memory had become ruins. His parents and wife had lost their lives in the chaos of war.

"I've killed countless Defias bandits. I've also killed countless soldiers. Elf, do you know why?" Cresso glanced at Lu Li. Lu Li was squatting not far from him, his fingers stroking the edge of his dagger.

"Because my family was killed by soldiers." Without waiting for Lu Li to reply, Cresso continued speaking. At this point, tears welled up in his eyes.

Sometimes, he firmly believed that his killing was not wrong. The bandits, the rebels, and the outsiders of this homeland had to die.

His strict father, that cute old man, his kind mother, that naggy old woman, and his wife. That year, when she left, she tugged at the corner of his clothes and cried … All of them had been destroyed by these damned outsiders.

But there were also times when he was very confused.

As an officer of Stormwind City's Seventh Corps, he had been tested by iron and blood. He knew that he had no right to take the lives of those soldiers, because they were pitiful creatures abandoned by Stormwind City in the Western Wilderness.

They might just be carrying out the wrong orders from their superiors, or they might have wives and children waiting for them at home.

"Elf, are you saying that I'm a bad person?" Cresso's eyes burned as he stared at Lu Li, who was not far away.

"You're not wrong. It's the war that's wrong, and it's those stupid nobles." Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then added, "If I were you, I would do the same, because family is above everything else."

That article was not a strategy, and it did not deliberately explain how to answer the NPC's questions. Lu Li only spoke from the bottom of his heart.

In his heart, his sister was above everything else, regardless of the law or morality.

"No, the glory of the Corps is above everything else," Cresso sternly interrupted Lu Li.

"Please forgive my offense." Lu Li did not agree, but he did not intend to argue with an NPC.

"The ones who killed my family were soldiers. My family refused to leave the Western Wilderness," Cresso said with a sigh. "They are like me, deeply in love with this land, even though it is so desolate."

"My condolences!" Lu Li said.

"A soldier's duty is to protect the people of this land, not to obey the nobles." Cresso struggled to stand up, then said in a hoarse voice, "Elf, I'm tired. Are you willing to help me complete a quest?"

"You are a respectable warrior. I am willing to listen to your orders," Lu Li said in his heart. It's finally here.

"Head to Sentinel Ridge and bring me the military tags of ten soldiers!"

System: Cresso's request: Kill the soldiers of Sentinel Ridge and obtain ten military tags.

Lu Li accepted the quest. After bidding farewell to Cresso, he turned into a blood crow and flew in the direction of Sentinel Ridge.

Sentinel Ridge was located in the northeastern part of the Western Wilderness. It used to be a military fortress, but it had been abandoned for many years. Now, it only existed as a sentry post, and the dilapidated bunker provided a place for the soldiers to take a breather.

There were over six hundred soldiers living in this terrible garrison. They had once strived to maintain the situation in the Western Wilderness, but the Defias Brotherhood was so powerful that resisting them was easier said than done.

Stormwind City claimed that they didn't have any extra resources to provide, and only gave them the right to gather as many as they could. The soldiers were isolated and helpless in the Western Wilderness. They were in a dangerous situation, and their hearts were tormented.

In the first few years, they still adhered to the style of a soldier and provided protection to the farmers of this land.

As time slowly passed, the situation gradually worsened, and the constant deaths of their comrades made these soldiers more and more irritable.

They gradually became a group of killers, and together with the Defias Brotherhood, they raised their butcher's knife against the people of the Western Wilderness.

Lu Li stealthily approached two sentinels.

He used Sap on one, then quietly approached the other and launched a sneak attack from behind.

Although these soldiers were all over Level 20, and Lu Li couldn't fully deal damage, his powerful equipment and skills provided a powerful guarantee in this battle. After a few minutes, he straightened his back and threw a military card into his bag.

Not every soldier had a military card. Lu Li killed two, but he only obtained one.

No equipment dropped, but the money they dropped was very gratifying. Each one of them had two or three silver coins, which was even richer than the dungeon monsters.

The second time, Lu Li didn't immediately attack. After using Sap, he used Steal on the target.

System: You have obtained a piece of dry bread.

He stole all sorts of things, but most of them were cheap and useless.

An hour later, Lu Li ended this operation. He had already obtained enough military cards. He had assassinated thirty-two soldiers in Sentinel Ridge. Of course, these soldiers would respawn in two hours.

After all, a game was a game. This kind of understanding made him feel a little better.

Dawnlight was really a good game. Even these ordinary NPCs were no different from real people. They all looked different, and their expressions were also unique. Some of their eyes even revealed heart-palpitating madness, confusion, grief, and relief …

Sometimes, he was just like Gavis Cresso, confused by his own position.
