Chapter 1632: 1632
Lonesome Flower was also able to collect the fragments . However, his method was a lot more violent .

He pulled a group of monsters to him, then immediately used an AoE skill and killed them . As for his HP, he had it much easier than Lu Li . He had his younger sister heal him whenever he needed it .
When they all collected 200 Carapace Fragments, they returned to hand in the quest .
Lonesome Flower was Lu Li’s vice-captain, so when he turned in the quest, it also gave Lu Li some Reputation .
After completing the quest, not only could Lu Li appoint a new vice-captain, but Lonesome Flower could also appoint a vice-captain as well . This way, they could have five people in the party altogether .
After five people completed the quest, then there would be ten afterwards .
After ten, there would be twenty…
This slowly snowballed until it involved the guild’s elites . Everyone would collect and turn in their carapace fragments, then exchange for Nozdormu’s Son . Then, they would continue to keep collecting .
As the collection of the fragments increased, more and more players would be involved . This meant that Lu Li’s Reputation was now increasing at a rapid pace .
The day slowly turned to night and everyone was constantly grinding for the fragments . They now realised how terrifying multi-level marketing was .
If Lu Li was the only one completing this quest, it would take him a month .

Even though the number of players involved in the quest was growing, raising the level from Hostile to Neutral was still a huge project . Lu Li even dreamed about killing worms .
They continued to grind for half a day the next day until Lu Li’s Reputation finally raised from Hostile to Neutral . He could now talk to the bronze dragon .
Once again, he came to the Caverns of Time . As expected, the bronze dragon held its head up high, but this time, it wouldn’t attack the players anymore . Then, it slowly said, “We must send out people and not repeat our mistakes . ”
“Yes, my lord . The sacrifices of everyone who died will be engraved in the whole land!”
Only the ones who knew of the history would understand what was meant by that . Fortunately, Lu Li already understood the whole history behind the War of the Shifting Sands .
“You are commendable, human . You have endured trials and tribulations just to stand in front of me . However, the trial that you will encounter will be much more difficult than any trial that you have faced . The mark and ring will bring you great strength, increasing your Nature-based attacks . Know that once you choose to go down this path, you will be unable to return,” Anachronos sai .
“Since my predecessors have sacrificed their lives, how can I retreat?”
The dragon sighed and said, “Life . They did sacrifice their lives . In the southern parts of Silithus, close to the barrier, there is a Crystal Tear, which commemorates our losses in the War of Shifting Sands . You can gaze into the crystal and see what happened back then . ”
“I’ve always wanted to have a look for myself and find out the truth about back then . Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so,” Lu Li said with a grateful heart .
He found the crystal that the bronze dragon was referring to and placed his hand on it .

Lu Li quickly found that he was now in a vast battlefield . He was like a god, looking down upon the both sides engaged in warfare . Dragons, Elves, Worms – this was the sight of the war at the time .
The game of Dawn was designed to be extremely heartfelt . The designers poured their hearts and minds into creating many different scenes in the game . This was a perfectly designed scene of the battlefield .
From this vantage point, Lu Li found himself feeling sorrowful .
When the battle began, three large dragons, Arygos, Merithra and Caelestrasz sacrificed their lives to create a large wall of carapace .
Even though the carapace wall successfully sealed the Qiraji worms away, they continued to be threatening .
He slowly retracted his hand . He had to admit that even know he knew that this was a game, he was ultimately affected by the unfolding of the scene . Knowing about it was vastly different to experiencing it for himself .
“I think I understand . The worms are our irreconcilable enemies,” Lu Li said .
Anachronos nodded his head and responded, “Just as I said before, we need to deploy people to take control first . Staghelm has lost his mind after losing his son . He destroyed the Sceptre of Shifting Sands . I have all four of the fragments, so I need to protect this sceptre at all cost . I must not allow it to fall into the hands of those who could harm this world . That is my mission as a dragon . ”
“What do you need me to do?” Lu Li immediately asked .
Lu Li found that this dragon was indeed arrogant, but also rather talkative .

“Each fragment of the sceptre has been placed under the care of four powerful dragons by me . If you are not determined…” Anachronos said .
“I am,” Lu Li affirmed .
“Actually, I am too,” Anachronos said, then continued with a darkened face, “If it wasn’t for the Black Dragon pursuing me, I would’ve gone and take them back myself . Eranikus, Vaelastrasz and Azuregos…I think that you know about these dragons . Human, it was not by coincidence that they ended up becoming the guardians .
“What is unfortunate is that their fate was destined to be miserable . They would inevitably be betrayed by the Old Gods or their friends . This contributed to my mistrust of the guardians . ”
“Find them, human! Do your worst!”
After listening to the dragon’s nonsense, Lu Li prepared to proceed to the next stage of the quest .
Around that time, most clubs had already completed the materials quest and had begun to the carapace collecting quest . Using his experience from his previous life, Lu Li managed to gain a one-day advantage .
The bronze dragon had a fragment with himself, while the other red, blue and green dragons each had the other three fragments .
However, these three dragons were independent to each other, so there wasn’t a set order for completion . This meant that they could attempt any colour first . The final goal was to retrieve all three fragments, so the order of completion didn’t matter .
Lu Li chose to do the green dragon line first .
Actually, there was already a clue hidden within the bronze dragon’s words . Lu Li, along with his small party, ventured to the Temple of Atal’hakkar . They pushed all the way to Eranikus’ Shade, but Malfurion Stormrage suddenly appeared .
Of course, it was only an image of Malfurion . At that moment, the real Malfurion Stormrage was still in deep slumber .
Lu Li realised that his happiness was wasted . He thought that he could ask about the Ring, but this image could only communicate at the most basic level . It didn’t even react upon hearing about
the Ring .
Malfurion’s message was simple .
The only way to retrieve the fragment was to rescue the fallen Eranikus . However, upon failure, the Tyrant of the Dream would destroy Malfurion’s real body as well as the whole of Azeroth . It was just a way to scare little children, but it still had its effects .
