The Legendary Thief Vol 5 Chapter 145

Chapter 145 (Lu Xue Han’s Secret?)

Thus, I quickly went back to the city. With a flash of a white light, I was already standing inside the magnificent Silvermoon City. Not far from me was the Marketplace. So I quickly put the few high-level green equipment for consignment. As I was repairing my equipment, Xu Lin told me that she had already waited for me at the East Gate Bridge, together with Xin Yu and Lu Xue Han.

I quickly went over there. The square center was very lively. The Swords and Roses, Romantic World, and Blood Sky, all three guilds had personnel over there to recruit new members. According to the guild statistic, the member of Swords and Roses had already reached fifteen thousand. In other words, we already had more than 15,000 elite players in our hands!

I walked across the square. Because of the Swords and Roses emblem on my shoulder, and the five characters “Green Veggies White Jade Soup” shining on the top of my head, quite many people were greeting me. I didn’t know how to respond, so I just smiled in return. d.a.m.n, it seemed that I had become famous now!

Far away on the East Gate Bridge, I could already see Lu Xue Han in her white Cleric cape. Xin Yu’s fire-red cape was also very eye-catching. And Xu Lin bright smile engraved the marble sculpture of the bridge.

Not right!

In addition to the several beautiful girls, there were still two figures dangling out there. Who could they be?

At once, I quickly walked a few steps forward and found out that the two male players were an Orc Warrior called “Combusting Chest Hair” and an Elf Thief called “Darkest Night Breeze”.

It was the first time that I see gay players. The Orc Warrior called “Combusting Chest Hair” really had a character. Two long fangs grew on his quite handsome face, parting his lips open. And his light-green skill was full of hair, no wonder he called himself “Combusting Chest Hair”!

I once saw in the manual that Orc players had a fixed Strength added to its race innate skill. Most of the Orc players would develop their character according to it. Generally, Orcs were Warriors, while some also were Thieves. However, due to their inability to ride horses, Orcs couldn’t choose the Knight cla.s.s.

The appearance of the Elves players was more pleasing to the eyes. Their light-purple skin would make some people feel creepy. Its clear facial features often let me mistook them as female players. Their two long ears gave me an, even more, Deja Vu’s feeling. After carefully pondering about that, I came to some realization: Murong Shan Shan also had the same ears, although not really the same. If she were to have such pointy long ears, she would look even more lovely.

“Come!” Xu Lin said, smiling.

Seeing the two men standing together with them, I was blanked at first, but then I let out the question, “Who are these two…?”

“Combusting Chest Hair! You can call me Chest Hair!” The Orc shouted with a laugh.

The Elf Mage was more restrained and answered politely, “Darkest Night Breeze, level 38 Elf Mage!”

d.a.m.n, that wasn’t the answer I expected! I wanted to know their relationship with Xin Yu. As for their names, I didn’t really give a d.a.m.n about that.

Xin Yu seemed to read my mind, so she pulled me to the side. Pointing at the two players, she said, “These two guys have been following us for two hours. If it wasn’t for sister Lin’s good temper, I would have thrown them into a hornet’s nest already!”

I was surprised, “Following you for two hours? What do you mean?”

With her lips pouted, Xin Yu said, “Well, that Mage called Darkest Night Breeze seemed to be interested in Xue Han and won’t leave. He followed us where ever we go. That Orc seemed to be his friend and had killed monsters with us for two hours in Silvermoon Valley. I wonder if there’s something wrong with them!”

I couldn’t help but sigh. Man, I didn’t expect this shy-looking Elf Mage to be very persistent. However, it wasn’t something strange. After all, seeing such a stunning beauty like Lu Xue Han would cause a lot of players to drool.

Lu Xue Han gave me a frustrating look, but Xu Lin seemed to have noticed nothing.

In general, I was clear of the situation. Lu Xue Han was being pursued tactfully. To put it in another way, this was a mild s.e.xual hara.s.sment…

I pondered a while and then quickly walked toward Darkest Night Breeze and said sternly, “Brothers, our family is going to level. What are you going to do?”

Darkest Night Breeze slightly smiled, “Can we come along?”

“You can’t,” I flatly rejected and then with a difficult look I said politely, “We don’t want our training place to get exposed. I think you should already know that I have troubled Romantic World’s leader more than once. If they were to find us, we’ll be in big trouble.”

Darkest Night Breeze quickly waved his hands and said, “No, no, we just want to train together with you. We won’t reveal your whereabouts!”

The Orc “Combusting Chest Hair” had probably seen through things and sighed, “Third brother, let’s not bother them anymore. It’s not like you’ve never seen a woman before, right?”

Darkest Night Breeze’s expressions suddenly became very embarra.s.sed, “But…”

“d.a.m.n!” Darkest Night Breeze harden his will and took a courage to ask me, “Brother, I know that all of you are experts and probably looked down on this level 38 Mage of mine. But Green Veggies Cocoa resembled too much a person that I knew. You should know her in real life. Could you… could you please tell me her contact info?”

“This…”

I felt somewhat difficult. This kid was obviously not going to give up until he reached the Yellow River. And he said something about Lu Xue Han resembled someone he knows. I didn’t know whether or not this was true, but the hard fact was that he wasn’t quite normal toward Lu Xue Han.

I gritted my teeth and refused, “I’m afraid it won’t be convenient for me. If you want to know, just ask her by yourself. Isn’t it better that way?”

Darkest Night Breeze’s face immediately changed. It appeared that he was also struggling inside.

After quite a while, Darkest Night Breeze said unwillingly, “Then, please let her know that since she went away, all her cla.s.smates had missed her. Her parents had also come to the school a few times to unregister her from the school.”

I was a bit surprised. I didn’t expect to have dug up some of Lu Xue Han’s past.

“Anything else?”

“Yes, my name is Ma Jin…”

…

Finished with that, the shy-looking Elf left with the Orc. Xin Yu and Xu Lin immediately came over and asked me what I said to them. Only Lu Xue Han stood there motionless.

I walked over and whispered, “Xue Han, do you recognize him?”

Lu Xue Han bit her lips and nodded her head softly.

Seeing that she didn’t want to explain, I turned to Xin Yu and Xu Lin, “It’s nothing. Both of you, don’t ask. Curiosity kills the ants!” (TL Note: apparently, the Chinese are saying ants instead of cats.)

Xin Yu blinked her eyes and didn’t say anything further. Xu Lin was a bit calmer. She patted Lu Xue Han’s delicate shoulders, “Xue Han, let’s continue to burn some monsters!”

Lu Xue Han revealed a trace of a bitter smile and said, “Let’s go.”

No one said anything further. It was still me that walked upfront to clear the way. Xin Yu followed closely next to me. Xu Lin walked behind us, accompanying Lu Xue Han.

By the time we arrived on top of Silvermoon Mountain, it was already more than one in the afternoon. Without further delay, we immediately started to divide our tasks:

“Like last time, Lin Fan will lure the monsters, Xue Han released the fire, and Xin Yu will pick up the equipment dropped!”

I immediately objected to Xu Lin’s allocation, “No, today, we’ll do some changes. Xin Yu will lure the monsters and I will pick up the equipment!”

Lu Xue Han wondered, “Why?”

“Because these monsters will drop the herbs that I need. So, it’s better if I do the collecting!”

Feeling unsatisfied, Xin Yu said, “The monsters’ levels here are so high. What if I get killed?”

“It’s okay, I’ll give you some potions!”

I immediately gave her two sets of level 2 Life Restore Potion. This way, she would definitely not be in any problems.

Xin Yu’s equipment wasn’t bad. And especially with the addition of Lu Xue Han’s Blessing, her Magic Resistance and Evade ability would be much better than mine. And most importantly, she could run fast. With a proper control, the monster’s magic wouldn’t touch her at all!

With the division of the tasks finished, the leveling began!

Although the leveling speed wasn’t as fast as when I was soloing because of the Experience was split among four people, but Lu Xue Han’s AOE skill was too strong, so the leveling speed was still fast. More importantly: the herbs that I care most at the moment were all falling on the ground in big chunks!

Previously, I needed to pick the drops every time after each kill. Now, I only needed to keep picking up things from the ground. My heart felt very happy. Right now, it can be said that Lu Xue Han was our family’s biggest a.s.set when leveling. Imagine if Xu Lin had already learned AOE skills, then her magic power would be far more superior to Lu Xue Han. This was also why Red Blood could suddenly jump from the tenth position to the second positon.

We continued to level until six in the evening. As I expected, this place was just big enough to accommodate the four of us before it reached the state of saturation. Everyone’s Experience had increased a lot. Xin Yu and Xu Lin had immediately risen from level 41 to level 42. Lu Xue Han was also quickly approaching level 44.

What made me felt even more ecstatic was that during this one afternoon time, I collected more than 100 sets of herbs, which should be enough to raise my Potion Refining skill to level 3. I wondered what kind of surprise would a level 3 potion give me.

Everyone went offline in the bushes next to the open field and had dinner together. Xin Yu and Xu Lin went online again to repair their equipment. Basically, Lu Xue Han’s and my equipment didn’t get damaged, so there was no rush for us to get online.

I felt a little uneasy. Ever since the meeting with Darkest Night Breeze this afternoon, Lu Xue Han didn’t laugh to her heart’s content. After some considerations, I still better checked up on her.

“Xue Han, can I come in?”

I knocked on the door. The wasn’t any response for a long time.
