After studying the topographic map of Undercity, Lu Li was a little puzzled. Why did everyone describe this city to be so terrifying? Although he had to go down, there was an elevator down there. After going down, he would be in the second area, and then he would be in the third area.
How orderly it was!
After throwing the map into his backpack, Lu Li activated the Deception Orb and turned into a skeleton. After getting used to it, he swaggered into Undercity.
Of course, he at least knew to take a detour when he saw people, lest his disguise was exposed.
According to the direction indicated on the map, Lu Li walked into the so-called elevator room. It was a cylindrical elevator. Sometimes it would go up and then go down.
The elevator that Lu Li was waiting for was empty. This way, he didn't have to take the same elevator with others to increase the risk of being discovered. So, he eagerly stepped on the base of the elevator … But something seemed wrong.
Lu Li only felt that there was nothing under his feet. The elevator was getting further and further away from his sight.
Nani, what the hell!
Why did the elevator descend when he was about to step on it? Did the elevator not wait for people? Also, why did the elevator descend so quickly? It was much faster than a freefall. Did you want me to fall to my death?
Ordinary people wouldn't be able to react at all. They would probably fall to their death while screaming.
But Lu Li was different. He was not an ordinary person. He immediately figured out what was going on. Then, almost without thinking, he subconsciously began to take measures.
Thieves were more resistant to falling. They wouldn't die from falling from ordinary heights.
Undercity Elevator: This is not an ordinary elevator!
So, Lu Li soon realized that this height was beyond imagination. He was getting faster and faster. Even if Druids were more resistant to falling, they would definitely fall to their death.
Return to human form!
Gale Steps!
The invincibility state saved his life. Otherwise, he would definitely become an Alliance player who died in Undercity Elevator.
There were actually a few illusory tombstones at the bottom of the elevator. This meant that someone had died not long ago. When they first died, they were corpses. Once the players revived and left, they would become illusory tombstones. After a while, the tombstones would also disappear.
He was not the only one who would fall to his death. Lu Li's heart was slightly comforted.
Just as he was about to step out of the elevator, Lu Li's eyes suddenly caught sight of two gigantic Stitched Monsters. He abruptly stopped in his tracks. Fortunately, he managed to stop in time. Otherwise, he would have crashed into them. The levels of these Main City Guards were very high. Lu Li would definitely be hammered to death.
He quickly contacted the person sent by the iron rice bowl to assist him.
After the two players asked where he was, they quickly appeared in front of him.
The two of them were quite professional. They didn't ask any questions and immediately went over to talk to the NPC. Their purpose was that simple.
For example, he could ask the strange stitching guard how to get to the barbershop, or if a certain potion master was at home recently.
'You're a baldy, so why are you asking about barbershops and whether a certain mage is at home? What does it have to do with me? They can teleport to god knows where. I'm just a guard who doesn't want to live to ask about these things?'
The two guards were so confused that they didn't notice anything wrong with the player who had just come out of the elevator room.
After going out, there was a steep platform connected to the player's personal storage and the guild storage in the center. Many people were gathered there to take things out of the storage.
Lu Li studied the road and chose to walk in from a gap below.
But he soon found that he was lost.
Map, where did the map go!
After looking around for a long time, he still couldn't figure out where he was. Helpless, Lu Li could only continue to ask for help.
"Brother, what are you looking for? How can we help you if you don't tell us?" One of the male players in a purple priest robe — let's call him Old Purple — finally couldn't help but ask.
The mercenary group had a rule that they couldn't pry into the employer's secrets, but why did an Alliance player like the employer come to Undercity to shop?
"Sigh, I'm not sure either." Lu Li sighed.
The diary didn't remember clearly where it fell, and the person who picked up the remnant page had no way to find it. Lu Li could only read and slowly savor the words on the diary, hoping that he would suddenly have a sudden realization.
"Alright, but you've been to this place twice." Old Purple felt that he had the obligation to remind Lu Li.
"Ahem, I'm not like some people. How could I not know that I've been here twice? But I just turned left and right. How did I end up here?" Lu Li was very puzzled.
"Because this is round!" Old Purple was a little mad.
"Then you lead the way. I'll just follow behind you." Lu Li finally admitted that this city was very overpowered. Queen Sylvanas probably wanted the invading enemy to die on their own.
Fortunately, the people sent by the two mercenary groups to help were the local tyrants of Undercity. It was said that they wouldn't get lost even if they closed their eyes.
They brought Lu Li through various areas, and Old Purple also very thoughtfully added language explanations.
"This potion shop specializes in poison. That old mage's face is half white and half black. Even his hair is the same. That's why everyone jokingly calls him the Yin-Yang Mage. He's a useless NPC with almost no decent quests …"
"Wait." Lu Li finally realized.
Wasn't this half white and half black recorded in the diary? And the strategy guide he read in his previous life also seemed to mention something like the Yin-Yang Mage, but he couldn't remember clearly which paragraph it appeared in.
Lu Li walked into the pharmacy with the two generals.
"Welcome to my humble shop. How can I help you?" Sure enough, he was a person who was half white and half black. He might have also given up on himself, so he simply wore half white and half black clothes.
"Uh, I want to buy some poison." Lu Li observed the pharmacy, trying to find some clues.
The counter was clear at a glance. Even the workbench connected to the counter was not too messy. There was nothing that Lu Li was looking for.
"What poison do you want? Rat poison or cockroach poison? Undercity is good at everything except these two," the old mage sighed. He was an undead — the kind with skin and flesh, so he looked as thin as a stick and not much different from a human.
"A pack of cockroach poison. Recently, there have been a few more cockroaches in the house. I can't kill them all," Lu Li said casually.
"That's not a few, that's a nest, and they are very fertile. They have a bunch of them in their lifetime, and their children and grandchildren keep multiplying. I'll give you a big pack!" The Old Mage said excitedly. He didn't sell poisons to Thieves in the traditional sense. Instead, he sold things like rat poison. Who the hell would buy rat poison in the game?
So, his business had not been very good.
Previously, some people thought there was some kind of mission here, so they would try to buy it. But after everyone confirmed that this Yin-Yang Mage was a useless pharmacist who researched rat poison, no one came again. Lu Li was his first customer this week.
But Lu Li did not have the mood to thank him at this time, because he had already found the fourth chapter of "Draconic for Dummies"!
It was under one of the table's legs!
That broken table was probably not very stable, so he used something to pad it. The thickness of the remnant book was just right.
If it wasn't for the familiar Draconic words on the paper, and the texture was similar to the ones he had collected before, it would be hard for him to believe that the thing he had been searching for was actually playing the role of a great cushion for the table.
"Customer, customer?" The Yin-Yang Mage raised his voice.
"Oh, okay, okay." Lu Li pointed at the remnant book on the table and asked, "Where did you get this?"
"I picked it up when I was picking herbs outside. Do you want it?" The Yin-Yang Mage laughed.
"Uh, I thought it was interesting." Lu Li was frightened. Oh no, he should not have exposed his goal so quickly. He did not check it out just now and now he was caught in the middle. He would be in a passive position if he wanted to negotiate.
"If you want it, you must pay the price." As expected, the old mage revealed his true intentions. "Just buying the cockroach poison isn't enough. You must buy the rat poison as well. Only then will I give it to you."
"Uh, how much is the cockroach poison and rat poison?" Lu Li did not dare to relax. He was already prepared to spend a lot of money. Who asked him to come here and be ripped off?
"Cockroach poison is five silver coins. Rat poison, hehe, that's not cheap. It's at least twenty silver coins." The Yin-Yang Mage said with a sinister smile.
"Pu!" Lu Li and the two generals fell to the ground.
"Pay up!" Lu Li went up and took out the "Draconic for Dummies" book in his hand. He instructed Old Purple to pay. He was an Alliance player. If he could not get close to the Horde NPC, he did not want to get close. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if his identity was exposed.
If it was tens of thousands of gold coins, Old Purple might have to worry about Lu Li's credibility.
However, Old Purple did not care about the problem of 25 silver coins at all. He had even decided to waive this part of the fee. It was really insignificant.
Spending such a small price to get the quest item, Lu Li was very satisfied and used the Hearthstone to return to his home.
The Hearthstone was so good that he did not have to go back the way he came.
After killing him, he did not want to find the way back. He also did not want to touch the elevator that could easily cause people to fall to death. It was really not easy for the players in Undercity. It felt like it was a hundred times more dangerous in the city than outside.
He decided to never step into Undercity again.
