Bathrilor wasn't just a resident registrar. He was an aristocrat and a well-known scholar in the aristocratic circle.
Lu Li had asked him for some advice in his previous life, but this was the first time they'd met.
The census office was the most deserted place in Stormwind City. Players would leave in disappointment as soon as they looked up at the signboard with these words. Almost no one tried to go in and trigger any quests. In fact, Bathrilor didn't give out any quests.
"I hope I'm not disturbing you, esteemed elder," Lu Li greeted politely.
"Well, an elf visitor. How can I help you?" The old man slowly took off his glasses and looked up to give Lu Li a stiff smile.
"You're a knowledgeable elder. I'd like to know more about Emma, Emma Felstone. She should be from the Felstone Farm, which is now Scourge's playground," Lu Li said straightforwardly.
"Felstone Farm, I know that place. I've been there when I was young …" Bathrilor seemed to have fallen into the frivolous memories of his youth. After a while, he slowly pointed to the huge bookshelf and said, "Third row, sixth volume. Bring it to me."
Lu Li searched for it, took the scroll down, and handed it to Bathrilor.
The old scholar opened the scroll and flipped through a few pages, a strange look on his face. "She was also a child with a hard life. Emma Felstone brought her sister to Stormwind City with the fleeing crowd, and not long after, her sister drowned. Oh yes, her sister's name was Jenny Felstone. After her sister died, she often wandered by the canal where her sister drowned. Later, a kind-hearted person helped her and took her away from this sad place …"
Wait …
That's not right. Lu Li was a little confused. He'd done this quest in his previous life, so he was familiar with the process and rewards of this quest.
According to the normal script, after Jenny Felstone died, Emma Felstone would go crazy. Then, one day, someone in Stormwind City would find her corpse by the river, and the lady boss of a fruit shop would bury her. Players would only need to find the lady boss and obtain half of Emma's amulet.
Was it because the Plaguelands was now an active map, so the quest content had changed?
But in theory, Emma Felstone should already be dead. This had nothing to do with the quest map. Perhaps the game developers would change the content of the quest because of the event, but there was no need to change a person's life and death for the sake of the quest.
"Is there something wrong?" Bathrilor clearly couldn't understand what Lu Li's current expression meant.
"No, it's nothing. May I ask who that kind person is? Where can I find Emma? I have something to give her." Lu Li calmed himself down and decided to follow the flow of the quest.
Perhaps it was because of the events in the Plaguelands, or perhaps it was because he had entered the game a year earlier than in his previous life …
In short, it was just a quest.
No matter how the process was changed, as long as the rewards were given out, there would be no problem.
"Carey, that should be their name, but they're no longer in Stormwind City. You might be able to find them in Southshore," Bathrilor said.
Carey? Southshore?
Wasn't that the name of the owner of the tavern in Southshore, that balding uncle? Lu Li often visited his tavern, so he definitely wouldn't forget this name. There probably wasn't a second person named Carey in the whole of Southshore.
As for Emma …
Lu Li thought about who in the tavern would fit this identity better.
First of all, she shouldn't be too old. Second, she was brought there by Carey, so they should have a good relationship. Finally, if she worked in the tavern, there didn't seem to be many people who could be suspected.
What the hell?
Emma Felstone!
Jennie Felstone!
Could it be that she combined her sister's name with his?
Lu Li finally understood why his quest flow was different from everyone else's.
Because he was very familiar with Emma, he triggered a hidden point in the quest. No normal person would be so familiar with a tavern hostess, and Lu Li's familiarity also involved the even more secretive Ravenholdt Manor.
Not only did Emma Felstone survive, but she also became an assassin in Ravenholdt Manor.
Now, one of her identities was the hostess of the tavern in Southshore, the adopted daughter of the owner, Carey. Another identity was the liaison of Ravenholdt Manor in Southshore.
What a pleasant surprise.
Lu Li brought his package and went straight to Southshore.
The owner, Carey, was sitting behind the counter in a drunken state. When Lu Li came in, he only glanced at him. Perhaps because Lu Li came too often, they were so familiar with each other that they didn't even need to greet each other.
The hostess quickly came over to greet him. There were a few hostesses in the tavern, but she was always the only one to receive Lu Li.
"I have a few quests here. If you're interested, you can pick two of them to do," the hostess said in a low voice. Lu Li chose two quests that didn't seem too complicated, but the rewards were quite good. This was the benefit of having an acquaintance. Those who had just joined Ravenholdt Manor were probably still racking their brains to think of a way to trigger a quest.
Lu Li didn't just have quests from the small faction, he even had the right to choose.
"Actually, that's not why I'm here," Lu Li thought for a moment, then decided to get straight to the point, "I went to the Plaguelands for a quest today, and I passed by a place called Felstone Farm. Over there …"
The smile on the hostess's face immediately changed.
As expected, she was that Emma.
"This package should have been sent a long time ago. I don't know where to send it now," Lu Li said as he took out the quest item.
"You found out?" Nima, or rather, Emma Felstone, took the package and said in a daze, "I thought that I had completely cut off all ties with the past. I didn't expect to hear these familiar names again. The Felstone Family has become history."
"I heard that in the faraway Undercity, there's a Forgotten One who sells cockroaches. His name is Jeremiah, and his surname seems to be Felstone too. However, he usually calls himself Jeremiah Pyson," Lu Li said.
This wasn't a secret. Both factions could accept the quest from Felstone Farm. Horde players naturally couldn't go to Stormwind City to find Emma. Their contact for the quest was the cockroach merchant in Undercity.
Emma's eyes shone with a strange light.
Jeremiah. How could they forget him? Their little brother who was studying in the capital of Lordaeron.
But she quickly realized where Lu Li was talking about. The former capital of Lordaeron had become a dead city. The Forsaken were living underground in the ruins, and there were no longer any living people here.
Her little brother … She was the only one left in this world.
