Chapter 1118: Enemy of an Enemy

“I’ll take it first,” Lu Li said, not trying to pretend.

“Sure.”

Water Fairy nodded her head. Her tone was soft; she wasn’t the slightest unhappy towards this decision.

Not only was everyone amazed, but they felt like they were watching a display of affection. What happened to the big fight that they were anticipating?

Lu Li assigned this T1 set to himself. With another piece in the future, he would have four pieces.

The Nightslayer set included a total of 8 pieces, but there was no way that Lu Li would really wear all of them. The difficulty in obtaining all of them was too great, and not to mention, better sets would probably be available to him by the time he completed the whole set.

Water Fairy was currently wearing four pieces of a T0 set. Although she had nearly completed her quests, her gear would at best be upgraded to a T0.5 set. However, she wasn’t interested in fighting over this equipment with Lu Li at all.

Seeing that the situation had played out amicably, no one could really say anything to provoke them. Lu Li was quite generous when he let Water Fairy take the equipment that dropped earlier.

Wendelian continued to loot; the second piece was also a Legendary.

This time, it wasn’t part of a set. Instead, it was a cape – The Emperor’s New Cape. Although its value wasn’t as great as Lu Li’s piece, the most famous item that Thaurissan had to offer was this Cape.

The drop rate of the Nightslayer Bracelets was too low. It was so low that almost no one knew that it dropped from this Boss.

“Why is it for magic classes? Why?!”

Elevenless, Sea Breaker, Green Flag Wine and the others were disappointed. Although Capes didn’t have a class restriction, there were still Attributes assigned to it. No matter how good the Attributes were, a Warrior wearing a Mage Cape was pointless.

The Attributes of the Cape gave bonus Constitution and Intelligence. There were three special effects included – one was a speed boost for survival, while the other increased damage and critical strikes, like Emperor Thaurissan’s Avatar of Flame. However, the immunity to magic attacks was altered to 5 seconds of immunity towards all control statuses and it also came some of damage reduction.

This cape was available to all magic type classes, including healers.

Lu Li looked at March Rain and sighed quietly.

This was pure luck with so many competing.

He couldn’t really help, but…

In the end, Unforgettable Maple obtained the equipment. Besides Sorrowless, who was expressionless all the way, everyone else couldn’t help but look a little disappointed.

While the others were hoping for Wendelian to loot another Legendary equipment, Lu Li began to private message Unforgettable Maple to borrow the new equipment.

“Sister Maple, how about lending it to me for a bit?”

Unforgettable Maple laughed incredulously, “Haha, what did you just call me? Is this how you ask others for a favor? Why should I lend it to you?”

“Because I’ll use it against Glory Capital.”

Lu Li wasn’t the slightest bit affected by Unforgettable Maple’s attitude. He was sure that he landed his target on the right spot – Unforgettable Maple’s poor broken heart. Majin Temple was enemies with Glory Capital, but they had run up against each other two times and lost both times during the competition.

Since then, Unforgettable Maple saw Sorrowless and his Glory Capital as his worst enemies for life.

“You…” Unforgettable Maple wanted to retaliate, but Lu Li had made a convincing offer.

He was someone that really held onto grudges, and wasn’t so silly as to think that he had to get revenge through his own hands. Just the thought of Glory Capital winning the championship made his heart ache.

However, he didn’t want to lend his new equipment to Ruling Sword for nothing either.

There needed to be profit for Majin Temple as well with Ruling Sword’s championship.

“We might have chances to work together in the future.”

It seemed like Lu Li knew what was going on in his head. There was nothing to gain, but there were also no losses for Majin Temple in this deal either.

Plenty of people in this world were doing things that harmed others’ but didn’t benefit themselves either. With the first agreement, there would most likely be a second. In that way, Majin Temple would slowly grow to become their allies. As the old saying went – the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Unforgettable Maple wouldn’t agree easily, his eyes rolled as he said, “It’s not impossible, but I need to see some benefits first. How about a few equips with fire resistance as the rent?”

Lu Li wanted to spit at his face. Everyone needed fire resistance equipment at this point; they really didn’t have spares to lend out.

“How about this – I’ll give you two good items in the near future, items that can give pieces of equipment a 5% fire resistance boost. How’s that?” Lu Li thought for a bit and decided to offer a little more. This Cape was too good for magic damage classes like Fat Monkey and Kitty Likes Meat. Their burst would hit another level higher.

He could keep pushing Unforgettable Maple to give in, and he was almost certain too that Unforgettable Maple would give in at the end.

However, a trade like this would surely upset him, and he might find a chance to get revenge in the future, so Lu Li was willing to give up some profit for him.

Not to mention, these items that increased fire resistance were consumables. They would lose value after a while.

“5% fire resistance… is it an enchantment?” Unforgettable Maple’s eyes lit up; he immediately understood the key point to this. This was a boost for the equipment itself; it wasn’t just a piece of equipment with a flat boost of 0.05% fire resistance. These were two entirely different concepts.

“It’s an Engineering item, not an enchantment, but you can think of it like that. The effects are the same anyway,” Lu Li confirmed as he nodded his head.

“Ten!” Unforgettable Maple was convinced.

“No way, I can only get 5, and you want 10. Take it or leave it,” Lu Li said.

“Sure, sure,” Unforgettable Maple immediately agreed. He didn’t believe that Lu Li could only get 5 of these, but he was happy with the conditions. As long as Glory Capital was in trouble, he was happy.

The two of them traded the equipment in secret. On the other side, Wendelian had also finished distributing all the items. Azure Sea Breeze rolled for a rare material, which was equivalent to Ruling Sword obtaining it. He would obviously pass it over to Lu Li; he just wanted some guild points in return.

Lu Li also obtained ‘A Crumpled Up Note’. This was a quest item; he needed to head back to the cells for the quest.

He hadn’t had a chance to see what the System rewarded, because the storyline for other people’s quests about the princess had already begun.

They thought they would see the princess reawaken and would receive her gratitude, but to their surprise, they saw Princess Moira stare blankly at Emperor Thaurissan’s death. She slowly walked beside his corpse and lowered herself to gently caress his face, which was already cold.

This was when the players realized that something was not right.
