"I think I have the right to know the details of the mission," Lu Li asked.
"She's my wife and my comrade. We've been together for many, many years, so many that I can't even count them all." Mar 'alith revealed a bitter smile. "I love her very much, but I've always been busy with work. I haven't had a good chat with her in a long time."
"You're a good commander, but not a good husband." Lu Li held Water Fairy's small hand tightly.
Water Fairy pursed her lips and smiled, as if she understood what Lu Li was trying to express. Many times, some things didn't need to be said too clearly. This kind of tacit understanding could be reflected bit by bit.
Lu Li was a club manager, a commander of a First Clear team, and he also had a sister who needed attention to take care of.
But Lu Li never used this as an excuse to neglect his own love life.
In the game, even during the short break after the team was wiped out, he would still sit together with Water Fairy. They would discuss trivial matters, and the people who heard them even suspected that their intelligence had dropped.
In reality, Lu Li and Water Fairy were both in Jiangnan City. Apart from spending time with his sister, he spent the rest of his time with Water Fairy.
This kind of companionship wasn't that of being together all the time. At least they were both in a place where they could see each other.
In order to better accompany his sister and Water Fairy, Lu Li assigned work in the real world to Wander, Cat Dad, Genhao San, White Bread, and the others. It was basically the same in the game. Even his most basic commander job was grooming Sky Moon to be his successor.
Liking someone required a price.
Mar 'alith was clearly the kind of man who disregarded his family for work, and this situation had persisted for hundreds or even thousands of years. The long life of an elf became the most lethal weapon.
"You're right. I did neglect her, but I deeply love her." Mar 'alith didn't refute.
"What happened after that?" Water Fairy asked from the side. She didn't know how to view this matter. Logically speaking, even if it was ignored to a certain extent, if the love had always been loyal, there shouldn't have been any other changes.
"Now that I think about it, there was something wrong with her since a long time ago. She was always muttering to herself, as if she was in distress day and night. Sometimes she would say that she was right, and sometimes she would deny it …"
"There's something wrong with her. It's like someone is talking to her, trying to persuade her. She was determined at the beginning, but she slowly became uncertain. Oh my god, I really deserve to die …"
"One day, when I got home, she was gone. Someone told me she'd left for the south. This is a desert. If you face south, there's only a small campsite. Go there and ask if anyone has seen Natalia. "
"Alright, we'll report back soon," Lu Li agreed without hesitation.
That was the end of the quest. There was nothing special about it. Anyone who did this quest would follow the same process. The next step was to go to the camp to take a look.
This small camp was very small, and it wasn't even marked on the map.
A group of dwarf wanderers used desert scorpions to make wine here. This wine was mixed with the venom of scorpions, and the dwarves added some other things. In the end, this wine was not only not poisonous, but it could also remove most of the poisonous damage caused by desert scorpions.
There were about six or seven of them, and they would issue quests about desert scorpions to players. The rewards were this antidote wine and some other desert specialties.
When Lu Li and Water Fairy arrived, the seven dwarves were trying their best to protect their camp. There were many Chongzi besieging them. From their body shape, these Chongzi were basically descendants of the Qiraji insect race.
After the collapse of the wall of beetles, the insect disaster began to spread in this area. In the desert, the skeletons of beasts and even intelligent races that had been eaten by Chongzi could often be seen. On a hill in the northwest of Gadgetzan, there was a huge bronze dragon skeleton. It could be seen that ordinary Chongzi, who had been given mysterious power by C 'Thun, could also kill an elephant.
Lu Li and Water Fairy decisively rushed to help.
The Chongzi they killed in the dungeon were a hundred times stronger than these. With their help, the precarious small open camp was finally saved.
Dwarves were a naturally optimistic race. They were almost eaten by Chongzi, but now that the danger was over, they immediately lived a carefree life of wine.
"Thank you very much for your help. We don't have anything to repay you with. If you like to drink, you can drink dwarven wine until you die. Or, I can give you some antidote wine. We've studied scorpions for many years, and Tanaris' scorpions are the most vicious creatures we've ever seen."
"We're here to look for someone. We're looking for a female Night Elf. She's wearing a blue robe. She's a Priestess of the Moon. If you can understand it, you can see some patterns of the Goddess Elune on the robe."
The dwarves looked at each other. In the end, it was the young dwarf who was more talkative who spoke.
"Of course we know that pattern. In terms of archaeology and theology, there is nothing dwarves don't know. There are many night elves here, but not many wear that kind of robe. I think we may have seen the person you are looking for."
"Where is she? Did she leave any information?"
"That day, we were also attacked by Chongzi. When she arrived, we had already finished the battle. We were all injured, so we hoped to get her to heal us. Isn't the priestess supposed to save people? Who knows what went wrong with her? She actually attacked us. Luckily, we were full of scorpions. After we escaped into the camp, she gave up chasing us."
"Yes, that is what happened. We did not offend her, nor did we insult her god. Elune above, what the hell."
"Did she say anything?"
"She didn't say much, and it was very messy. She kept mumbling to herself, as if she was saying that everyone had been tricked, that our world was not real, and that Azeroth was actually a monster … I had no idea what she was saying …"
"Okay, then did you see where she left?"
"I saw, of course I saw. This brother of ours, he is a Thief. He followed that woman and saw her go to the Ahn 'Qiraj worm lair …"
"You have no idea what I saw. I can't believe it," the Dwarf Thief said with lingering fear, "Those Chongzi welcomed that woman, that night elf. I saw her enter the worm lair with Chongzi. Oh my god!"
