This time, he didn't dare to approach the Throne of the Elements rashly. Instead, he called for Water Fairy to come over.
"What do you need me to do?" Water Fairy looked curiously at the place where all kinds of elements were boiling. She didn't understand what she had to face.
"You don't have to do anything. Just stand there and watch. If I die, help me pick up my equipment," Lu Li said with lingering fear. "I died here once before, and it was almost an instant kill. I asked you to come over just in case."
"Okay, then be careful." Water Fairy walked to the side and sat down. She rested her chin on her hand and watched as Lu Li cautiously approached the elemental power like a coward.
As Lu Li approached, the elemental power began to boil excitedly.
It was the same as last time. Was this the rhythm of an attack? Lu Li resisted the urge to turn around and run. His wife was watching, so he had to show the courage of a man. He couldn't be afraid.
Soon, the elemental power calmed down, as if something had soothed their anxious emotions.
"It seems like we can go in now. Snowy, follow me, but don't get too close," Lu Li waved.
Water Fairy safely walked to Lu Li's side. The two of them walked towards the inside of the Throne of the Elements. It seemed to be an open-air altar. It was very wide. After entering, Lu Li saw that it was densely packed with elemental monsters.
Elemental monsters weren't easy to kill. Otherwise, this would have been a good place to train.
As they walked further in, they saw the real altar. There were four Elemental Wrath standing on it, and an old Orc Shaman at the bottom.
Shamans were also known as Elementalists. They controlled the power of the elements.
"This is probably the NPC I'm looking for." Lu Li walked forward and greeted politely. "Respected Elemental Emissary, I am an adventurer from a foreign land."
"Haha, I've seen your people. You're from a place called Azeroth. You've killed many, many Orcs." The Orc's voice was like this, buzzing and full of aggression. The Orc Shaman Gar 'rok was the same.
It was as if they were staring at each other and would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.
"I'm different from them. I'm a peace-loving person who came to Draenor for sightseeing," Lu Li lied through his teeth. He added, "I used to study under a native of Draenor, so I wanted to visit her hometown."
"Natives? Who is it? "The Orc Shaman Gar 'rok was very curious.
"Gahrona, have you heard of her?" Lu Li asked.
"That's impossible. She … she should have died a long time ago." The Orc Shaman Gar 'rok didn't quite believe it.
"She's indeed dead. She died under the elemental power of the Doomhammer, but there's no doubt that I'm learning from her. There's no need for me to pretend, is there?" Lu Li followed his teacher's advice and let Gahrona 'die' temporarily.
"Sigh, what a pity." Gar 'rok looked disappointed and asked, "As her disciple, why are you here?"
"I hope to use the power of the Throne of Elements to upgrade my ring," Lu Li added. "I'm willing to pay a certain price. As long as it's something I can get, I'll send it to you."
"Impossible!" The Orc Shaman Gar 'rok flatly refused.
"Why?"
"The power of the Throne of Elements can't be used easily." The Orc Shaman Gar 'rok's tone softened a little.
"I'm well aware of the principle that all power comes with a price. On the other hand, as long as a sufficient price is paid, any power can serve the price. If I can bring you what you want, then wouldn't this altar gain more power?"
"This is different. I can't promise you this, but …" The Orc Shaman Gar 'rok's expression was a little strange. After a while, he slowly said, "What kind of price are you going to pay?"
"This is a list. I think it should be enough to compensate for this power." Lu Li presented a list.
On it were rare materials from the game, as well as some gems. The operation of an altar required similar things, and there was no exception for any altar.
As for the quality of the materials and gems, with how stingy Lu Li was, of course, they were cheap goods that players wouldn't be interested in. However, from an energy point of view, these things were full of energy.
The altar could be seen as a converter and extractor. No matter what it was, it could turn these materials and gems into energy.
"Not enough. This is far from enough. I need to make changes to this list. You …" The Orc Shaman Gar 'rok tilted his head and thought for a moment. Then he said, "Come to me tomorrow. I will give you a new list."
"…" Lu Li felt as if someone had grabbed his heart.
His heart ached. Was he going to spend a lot of money?
His mentor's face was not very useful. He thought he could use these worthless materials to get rid of him.
However, the NPC had already spoken and seemed quite determined. Lu Li couldn't say anything more. Compared to the previous firm rejection, the Orc Shaman Gar 'rok was now very easy to talk to.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Water Fairy asked in confusion after leaving the Throne of Elements.
"What's strange? Is it because I'm dressed strangely? I think I'm quite handsome today," Lu Li said with a smile.
Water Fairy rolled her eyes. "I don't see anything that's related to being handsome."
"You're really not picky," Lu Li muttered, then said seriously, "I also think it's strange. He clearly rejected me very firmly. Why did his attitude change so much later on?"
"Could it be that the Throne of Elements needs some materials?" Water Fairy guessed.
"No, this is the Throne of Elements. It's a place where elements gather. It's full of energy." Lu Li shook his head. "When his tone changed, his expression, actions, and tone were all very unnatural."
"I thought you didn't notice. I was worried for nothing." Water Fairy was a little discouraged.
"Thank you, Cher. I'm very happy that you helped me observe so carefully." Lu Li quickly went up to comfort her, then analyzed, "There must be something that made him change. Or someone. Do you think it was my mentor who sent him a private message?"
"You can't private message an NPC." Water Fairy didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt that Lu Li was too frivolous.
"I hope the materials he asked for are not too exaggerated. I'm already starting to feel sorry for my materials." Lu Li's face was full of melancholy.
