The Great Thief Chapter 693: The Princess’ Secret Admirer
They immediately ran past some three-headed monsters in Maraudon.
These monsters were probably the descendants of Hydras and and possessed great casting abilities. The abundant flow of magic in Maraudon was the reason that they served under Princess Theradras.
"Don't pull too many of them; we'll kill them one by one," Lu Li said.
"Why, can they detect Stealth units?" Deep Watersong asked in confusion.
"Anything they drop is worth a good fortune. I thought you were knowledgable; you should read more books," Lu Li joked. There was no need to hold back now that they were all so familiar with each other.
These Three-headed Serpents dropped Scales which were good material for forging armor. The armor made from these scales was light, with good Defense. Some people even sewed them on the backs of Mage gowns, which greatly increased their defensive Attributes.
These Scales weren't classified as rare materials, but they were definitely more valuable than some.
One of the Three-headed Serpents snaked towards them and sprayed a jet of venom at Deep Watersong.
"My *****! Its damage is so high!" he cried out.
From the animation, it looked like it was frost damage. Not only was the damage high, but it also came with movement speed reduction and poison effects.
No wonder why Lu Li had requested that these monsters be killed one by one.
"Don't be afraid – you won't die," Lu Li said casually.
Deep Watersong was an expert tank, so there was no way that he would easily die to an Elite monster.
The Three-Headed Serpent didn't drop a scale when it died, but this wasn't something that could be rushed. Lu Li signaled for Water Fairy to go up and skin the serpent, which netted them its hide and a Three-Headed Serpent Scale.

They used the same method to clear out all of the Three-Headed Serpents along the way, and obtained few dozen Scales.
Some people believe that Maraudon was a valuable dungeon. As long as you entered the Maraudon and farmed all the Serpents, you would have basically covered the costs for the dungeon.
The expenses for the dungeon trip generally included potions and equipment repair fees.
Lu Li and the others were quite strong, so they had less costs to cover. Other weaker teams would have to spend more on repairing equipment and might require valuable elixirs to attempt the dungeon.
For many years, Landslide the Ancient Mountain Giant had been looking after the Crystal Garden in Maraudon. Ever since the day that Theradras had moved in, Landslide had felt a deep attraction for her.
The giant who once had no desires now only had one wish – to serve his new vicious master.
"I'm so envious of Landslide," Deep Watersong sighed. "How many people out there can spend time with the person they like every day, watch the sun set and rise, and go to sleep satisfied?"
"Don't pull any monsters yet – wait at the entrance. There are two Rock People that just went out for a patrol. We'll kill them first after they return," Lu Li instructed as he pointed at the two Elite monsters that had just passed by.
"No need – they probably won't come back into the garden if they keep on their current route," Deep Watersong said.
"It's better to be safe. It won't take us much time anyway."
Most of those who died here were players who thought like him. Lu Li was the only one who understood how cunning these two patrolling Rock People were.
Even Landslide himself probably hadn't killed as many players as these two crafty patrols.

After they cleared out the Rock People, Lu Li pointed towards the corner of the wall and said, "Watersong, go stand there and pull the monsters. Make sure they don't bump you out. Even if they do, don't panic – just remember to use your damage reduction skills."
"Right. Rock Giants can knock up people since their fists are extra hard," Deep Watersong nodded.
"You should think about joining our guild someday," Lu Li suggested with sincere eyes.
The players in his own team either never asked why, or who always asked why. None of them were like Deep Watersong, who gave a perfect explanation for everything that Lu Li did.
Of course, there were no results for this kind of invitation which sounded like a joke.
Deep Watersong was one of the top three Main Tanks of Drizzle Court. He was well-treated and Drizzle Court was also a guild filled with beautiful ladies. It was a guild that male players dreamed of entering; only an idiot would leave it for Ruling Sword.
The Rock Giants had high Defense and health, but their attacks were quite average.
It dropped a Gold shield with decent Attributes that was distributed to Lu Li, based on the previous rules that they had formed. He placed it into his bag without hesitation.
Druid tanks couldn't use shields anyway, so none of the players here had a need for it.
No guild would ever think that they had too many good shields. Although Azure Sea Breeze's current shield was better than this one, Lu Li could still offer it to the other tanks in the guild.
Although Water Fairy also wanted the shield, it wasn't good enough to make her beg Lu Li for it.
Once again, they ignored the monsters. The five of them went into Stealth and moved to their next destination. It only took them a few minutes to arrive at Tinkerer Gizlock's Working Space.
Some said that Tinkerer Gizlock wasn't a native to the area. He had snuck his way into Maraudon with five other gem hunters to collect previous crystals.
However, all of his other team members were slaughtered by Satyr. When he understood that their plans had failed and he was shrouded by the fear of death, he vowed his loyalty to Princess Theradras.
Since then, Tinkerer Gizlock had become one of the Bosses in Maraudon.
There was no way to earn coins here, so Gizlock became crazy and began to view himself as the new dictator of this underground kingdom.
"What's going on outside?"
After he saw Lu Li and the others, Gizlock didn't attack immediately. This seemed to be the first time he saw adventurers.
"The old war has ended and the new war is about to begin," Lu Li replied.
Gizlock thought for bit and found that he couldn't find a reason to disagree with Lu Li. Azeroth had always been unlucky and was constantly ravaged by war.
"Why have you come to my kingdom?"
"Go and see Princess Theradras," Lu Li said.
"Princess…" A trace of fear appeared on Gizlock's face as he shook his head in panic.
"No, I must stop you all, I must stop you all…"
"Get ready to fight the boss," Lu Li said in a low voice.
As expected, Gizlock turned on them. He charged at Lu Li and the others with his Goblin Dragon Gun, which dealt 120 points of fire damage per second to all players in front of it for 8 seconds.

The Harrowbird's Crown
(Formerly: Tales of a Harrowed House) Synopsis: This is the tale of an exiled royal family who, after their bloody reunion on the island of Providence, return to a war-torn homeland where once more, powerful forces pit sibling against sibling in a bid for the crown — and once more, the magical streets of Auctor echo their infamous motto: “Fire will Reign as Harrowbirds Soar!” From his humble beginnings as a shoemaker’s son, his year spent as a daringly brazen orphan caught between rivaling Houses and a mad ghost, and his fight for the crown after his return to Auctor, Corbyn faces a coming-of-age story unlike any before him as he discovers magic and birthright are two things he never knew he had. From the intimate narrative of a childhood that was never her own, her year spent struggling to find the person she is rather than the person her family needs her to be, the secrets she hides, and the truths she finds, Halle discovers herself on the fabled island of Providence as her House collapses around her, bids to enter a legendary school of magic in her homeland of Auctor, and fights for a crown she never knew she wanted. A high-action, character-focused story written with a poet’s styling, The Harrowbird’s Crown is a tale that will transport readers into the conflict and conquest of a royal family back on the rise. General Information: This story is more traditionally plotted. While the beginning may seem to start out slowly, when shit hits the fan: the action is constant, the mysteries are satisfying, and the character development is rewarding. Chapters are usually between 2.5-3.5 thousand words (though some, like the first and second chapters, can run up to 5k words). When it’s long it means that the chapter will just have that much content in it. There’s Action, Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy, and some Psychological undertakings. Romance hasn’t come up yet, but it may in future chapters. I try to have chapters out every Sunday at 7:00 CST Book One: The Ghost of Providence

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
