Chapter 1736: Sky Fortress

Archmage Angela Dosantos nodded to the group that had come to her.

“You should hurry up. There are many people who have entered the evil place from here. As friends of Tirion Fordring, you mustn’t fall too far behind.”

Because of the relationship between Ruling Sword and old Fordring, Ruling Sword players were respected by all the frontline NPCs in the Plaguelands.

As for Hachi Chan’s high Charisma values, the NPC was now patting her head and stuffing a few potion bottles into her hands. The NPC told her that she should take care of herself…

Well, as long as they didn’t compare themselves to the System’s children, the players were generally quite satisfied with the way the NPCs treated them.

Lu Li waited for Hachi Chan to finish scamming potions from the NPC before speaking.

“We are going in now. Sorry for the trouble.”

Naxxramas was a large spiral tower suspended in the air. The area was filled with creatures. This was Azeroth’s Alliance’s battlefield. There were countless bones of humans and other races there. Lu Li even saw several Orc heads.

When the land on which everyone lived was threatened, the distinctions between them were no longer important.

“I have a piece of information about Naxxramas, which was collected by a warrior who put their lives in danger. I hope it will help you,” Archmage Angela Dosantos said as she pulled out a sheet of parchment. This was her parting gift.

A group of Mages and Goblins were fiddling with an apparatus.

Soon after the team of players arrived and paid some money, they stood in the centre of the apparatus. The apparatus came to life, and the players were sent into the sky directly into Naxxramas.

This was the only way into the Instance Dungeon.

Why would Kel’Thuzad also allow players to install a portal in his tower?

The players’ opening quest was actually just the fee. These gold coins were given for the labour expenses of the Goblins. These Goblins were willing to contribute to Azeroth, provided that they were paid in gold.

After Lu Li and the others handed over the gold coins, they were also sent into the Sky Fortress.

At the outermost place, Lu Li took out a Revival Stone that he bought from an NPC merchant and put it into a remote corner. The players in the reserve were responsible for protecting the Revive point so that they didn’t have to respawn outside of the Naxxramas Instance Dungeon if they got wiped.

If that happened, they would be revived in Light’s Hope Chapel below and would need to

pay again to get up here.

If they added it all up, that cost would be more expensive than buying this Revival Stone. It would also waste a lot of time.

“This point is ours, Warlock. The other clubs are forbidden from using it, so defend it from them. If there is nothing else to do, you can clear out the Undead monsters nearby. You can farm some Reputation by doing that,” Lu Li instructed.

“Let’s go!”

Inside Naxxramus, there were rows of stairs filled with corpses. There were quite a few monsters patrolling the area that they needed to kill.

This wasn’t that difficult for Lu Li’s team. After all, these were all players that had killed many Bosses before, so these mobs were no issue for them. Although they were able to get past the monsters, they would inevitably take some damage, which meant that they had to waste potions.

As such, when the players from the three guilds entered, they were followed by a lot of other players in the Instance Dungeon.

“These players are so dumb. If they just banded together they would be able to do the Instance Dungeon themselves,” Azure Sea Breeze said, looking down upon them with disdain.

“Aren’t random players just like this? If they were all banded together, then they wouldn’t just be a group of random players,” Lu Li said. He had once been a casual player, so he could understand their thought process.

“I heard that there might be an alliance forming for these random players. What should we do about that?” Wandering asked.

“Be friendly. They are all just trying to get by and it’s not easy. Moreover, we don’t know what the future of this alliance will be,” Lu Li said.

He used to eb a casual player in his previous life, and he had experienced some desperate moments. Although he couldn’t help everyone who was having the same experience as him, it didn’t cost him anything to be friendly towards them.

As someone who had experienced rebirth, he also knew how that alliance would go.

The Life Professional League, the Scattered Players League, the Female Players League and the Old Game Alliance – these alliances would spring up one after the other in the coming days.

The emergence of these forces was not a good thing for the Club of Ruling Sword.

Many people who joined guilds were looking for a sense of belonging, or to avoid being bullied by other stronger powers. However, when various alliances could provide them with the same things that a guild could provide, then many people would no longer be interested in joining. The guild’s main bulk of players was the source of the club’s strength.

However, Dawn’s player base was so big, that even a powerful club couldn’t stop that from

happening.

It would be better to have a good relationship with them, as there would be more opportunities to cooperate in future.

They quickly entered the Instance Dungeon and selected the Nightmare Difficulty.

It wasn’t that Lu Li really wanted to pick Nightmare Difficulty, but it was the only option. This was because of the new rule that the Game Company implement to ensure that First Clears were taken at Nightmare Difficulty.

Before the First Clear was taken, players could only select to do Instance Dungeons at Nightmare Difficulty.

This meant that those random players who wanted to team up could only farm the monsters in the various areas, as they weren’t able to defeat a Boss.

According to the information provided by Archmage Angela, the entire Instance Dungeon of Naxxramas consisted of five zones – the Spider Zone, the Abomination Zone, the Plague Zone, the Death Knight Zone and the Frost Dragon’s Nest. There were 18 formidable Bosses inside and the final Boss was the Lich King Arthas’ right-hand man – the infamous Kel’Thuzad.

The first four zones didn’t have to be played in any particular order, but if you wanted to fight the final Boss, they had to defeat all of them.

Therefore, there was no shortcuts for getting the First Clear in this Instance Dungeon.

“So which area should be do first?’ Sky Moon asked.

“Spider Zone – we have an advantage there with our antidotes,” Lu Li said without hesitation. Although they had to defeat all the Bosses to fight Kel’Thuzad, he knew which zone would be best for them to warm up on.

Cold Chill was no longer the rookie that Lu Li had picked up.

People now proclaimed Cold Chill to be the number one Potion Master in Dawn. Most of the general potions were now made by her apprentices. She would only spend her time making the premium potions.

Antidotes were one of the first things she studied, and so she had the most thorough research on them.

It could be said that 80% of the poisons that a player would encounter could be dealt with by one of her antidotes.
