Chapter 924: 924
Although the Flash of Darkness absorbed light, it was still visible to the naked eye when you looked at it closely .

This was a special flower, born through the imagination of game designers . Its beauty was beyond the description of words and its mere sight had ability to soothe the mind .
"Place it with Lothar; I promised him," Garona said, passing the flower to Lu Li .
"Alright, if you have nothing more for me to do, I'll head out and start investigating . "
Lu Li carefully packed the flower away in his bag . He didn't ask anything more, even though he was very curious .
Lothar, Llane, Garona, Khadgar, Medivh . . .
These were all legendary figures, but he could only wonder what had happened to them in the past .
Apparently, Lothar fancied Garona, but King Llane was also interested in her . However, Garona ended up killing King Llane and gave birth to a son with Medivh .
Lu Li had been summoned here, but it was easy for him to leave – a Hearthstone was enough .
He planned to sort out the Flash of Darkness first, then travel to Stormwind city and figure out who the traitor was . Based on the requirements set by Garona, he felt like there was nothing else more important than this .
Lothar had already died inthe second war against the Tauren, at the hands of Orgrim Doomhammer .

Eventually, Uther and Turalyon managed to take down an important Tauren base, the Blackrock Spire, and chased them deep into the Marsh . Even the tribe leader, Orgrim became a prisoner of the Alliance, but this didn't change the fact that Lothar had died during the war at Burning Steppes .
Regardless, this was a place of sorrow for both the Horde and the Alliance .
Many creatures lived at the Burning Steppes as they enjoyed slaughtering travelers . This place was a disaster for any players who were under level 45 . As soon as Lu Li walked out of the portal of the town, he immediately entered Stealth mode, until he arrived in front of the statue of Lothar .
The statue of Lothar was gigantic; anyone who stood underneath it would feel like a tiny ant in comparison .
There were many who stood before the statue to admire him, including not only the NPCs, but also players who were influenced by the lore of the game .
Although most of these people were young, some were elderly . Perhaps, they had been Warriors at some point in their lives .
Lu Li saw an old man who had lost both of his feet climb over with his hands to place down a little white flower before he left again .
The old man barely had any expression . Perhaps he didn't feel the need to be sad, whether it was for Lothar's death, or the two legs that he had lost in war .
Without a doubt, Anduin Lothar was one of the most admired heroes of Dawn . His charisma alone was worthy of people's respect .
Loyal, determined and religious – when people sank into the valley of despair, it was Lothar who reached out his arms and called upon the old, but noble morale to shine its light again . He was a milestone in the history of humans, signifying the respect and pride that their race had .

Some even wrote poems for him on the stones boards nearby .
For example:
"I have a secret .
It blooms quietly in the mountain of red leaves .
Silently, it floats in the silent kingdom of snow .
Gently, it travels through the creek .
Fiercely, it burns the red earth beneath my feet .
Softy, I lay down my secret and this fresh flower by your tomb .
Someday, it will rot away, leaving behind its scent to warm this empty space . "
This was perhaps written by a traveler who had been to many places . One day, he passed by the statue of Lothar and decided to leave his poetry behind, along with a flower that had since rotted away a long time ago .

Lu Li took out his Flash of Darkness and placed it in the center amongst all the flowers . He thought to himself that no matter how rare the flower was, it would rot away eventually .
To him, his flower seemed no different to the others .
"Young one, are you here to see the master too?"
Perhaps it was because he had completed too many quests, but his average charisma had finally begun to rise . At the very least, there were some NPCs who were now willing to initiate a conversation with him .
"Yes sir . I've come in the honor of my teacher, to put down a flower of remembrance for Lothar," Lu Li answered as he nodded his head .
The old Paladin heard this and his gaze quickly scanned across towards the pile . There, a flower glowed with a dark light, constantly consuming the light nearby . This drew his attention and he lifted his head in surprise, saying, "This is no ordinary flower . May I have the name of your teacher?"
"This…" Lu Li hesitated . Although Garona never said anything about this, he felt like she wouldn't be too impressed .
"Never mind; you don't have to force yourself . I have to go back too," the old Paladin said as he summoned his mount and jumped on . He then turned around and asked Lu Li, "Would you like to hitch a ride? I feel like we'd get along . "
"Thank you, if it's not too much trouble . " There was no reason for Lu Li to decline .
From the way the old Paladin addressed Lothar, it wasn't hard to decipher his identity . He called Lothar master, so he had to be a part of the Brotherhood .
It was probably the Heart of the Paladin that he wore which made the old Paladin interested in him . At the same time, he was also associated with the Night town and old Fordring, which were all representatives for the Paladins .
Needless to say, Lu Li was quite familiar with Paladins .
The old man rode a giant Gryphon, big enough to carry two or three easily . However, its hair had already turned white; it was clearly at an old age .
The Gryphon leaped into the sky as it flapped its wings in the direction of Stormwind City .
They only needed to pass through Elwynn Forest to get to Stormwind City from the Burning Steppes . On the way, they encountered some flying creatures, but the Gryphon had no interest in chasing them . However, if any flying creature dared to challenge it, it wouldn't hesitate to rip them apart with its sharp claws .
At a time like this, not only would it be hard to balance on the Gryphon, but you would also be drenched with blood .
At first, Lu Li really hated this feeling, but after he saw the passion on the old Paladin's face, he slowly began to understand .
It took them less than half an hour to arrive at Stormwind City . If he had walked, including the possible battles that he may have ran into, it would have probably taken him more than half a day . Of course, the Hearthstone was another story .
