I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

It was an ancient bow design drawing, shimmering with a pale purple light.

[Starseeker Longbow Blueprint (Rare)]

[Requirement: Master-level forging]

[Craftable Item: Starseeker Longbow (Rare)]

【Star Chaser Longbow Attributes: LV25, Physical Attack +80, Agility +50, Special Effect: Starlight Arrow (Your attacks have a 15% chance to summon a beam of starlight to deal an additional 100 points of spell damage to the target)】

coming!

Li Wu's eyes lit up instantly.

This blueprint was practically tailor-made for him; his Arcane Bow just happens to need eight rare weapons to upgrade.

At this stage, it's very difficult to buy rare weapons, even level 20 ones. It's better to get a blueprint yourself and find a master blacksmith to make it!

Then you can upgrade to [Arcane Bow]!

"This design blueprint starts at 3 gold coins!"

The auctioneer's voice rang out.

This blueprint seems rather useless. It's just a rare level 25 equipment, yet it requires master-level forging. At this stage, secondary professions have only just been unlocked, and who knows when we'll reach master level.

Even guilds wouldn't spend too much money on something they wouldn't use for a long time.

But this does not mean there is no competition.

"4 gold coins!"

"5 gold coins!"

Several archer players who appeared to be lone wolves began to place bids.

Li Wu didn't rush to speak.

He is waiting.

Wait until these people raise the price to a reasonable level.

Soon, the price was raised to 8 gold coins.

At this price point, the number of bidders has noticeably decreased.

After all, this is just a blueprint. Even if you take a picture of it, you still need to find a master blacksmith and prepare a lot of rare materials to make the bow.

The cost and time involved are both unknowns.

"8 gold coins once! 8 gold coins twice!"

The auctioneer began the countdown.

It's now!

Li Wu raised his number without hesitation.

"10 gold coins".

He calmly announced a price, silencing the entire room.

One-time price, plus 2 gold coins!

All eyes turned to the mysterious cloaked figure in the corner.

The archers who were still hesitating shook their heads helplessly when they saw the price and put down their signs.

10 gold coins far exceeded their expectations.

"Great! This friend has bid 10 gold coins! Any higher bids?" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.

The entire room fell silent.

No one else bid.

"10 gold coins per try!"

"10 gold coins twice!"

"10 gold coins for three times!"

"make a deal!"

"Congratulations to this friend for successfully bidding on the [Starseeker Longbow Design]!"

Li Wu finally felt relieved.

He succeeded.

Although it cost him 10 gold coins, it still stung a little.

But it's absolutely worth it.

He got up, ready to go backstage to pay and collect his belongings.

However, the moment he stood up, he keenly sensed several malicious gazes falling upon him.

One of the gazes was filled with resentment and hatred, as if it wanted to devour him alive.

Following his intuition, Li Wu looked over and saw a familiar figure at the other end of the crowd.

Blood Wolf Warrior!

He was staring intently at him, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Li Wu frowned slightly.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it and turned to leave the auction house.

……

Meanwhile, on the Blood Wolf Battle Soul side...

"Guild Master, that's him!" A rogue player pointed at Li Wu's departing figure and said to Blood Wolf War Soul, "My men have been following him. He came straight to the auction house after leaving the Swamp of Sorrows."

"Very good." A cruel smile appeared on Blood Wolf's face.

Seeming through the fog!

You've finally shown yourself!

And it was just one person!

Without that female warrior's protection, let's see how you run this time!

"Have you made contact with Shadow Assassins yet?" Blood Wolf War Soul asked.

"We've made contact," the rogue player replied. "Shadowkill said he's also very interested in this 'Seeing Through the Fog' thing. He told us not to make a move yet, and to wait until he arrives so he can personally kill this so-called master."

"Shadow Killer..." Blood Wolf War Soul murmured the name, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

Shadow Killer is a lone thief who has recently gained considerable fame in District 21.

No one knows his background; all that is known is that he takes on murders for extremely high prices, but he has never failed.

Two days ago, even an elite raid leader from the Fengyun Zaiqi guild was taken down by him outside the main city's safe zone, without even a chance to fight back.

In order to ensure a 100% chance of killing Li Wu, Blood Wolf War Soul spared no expense in hiring this top assassin.

However, what he didn't know was that the only time Shadow Killer failed, the target he killed was Li Wu!

"Tell Shadow Killer that as long as he can kill Fog Seeker and get that mythical equipment, I'm willing to split the spoils 50/50 with him!" Blood Wolf War Soul said through gritted teeth.

Although it pained him, he knew it was a price he had to pay.

As long as we can kill the Foggy Flower and avenge our previous humiliation, it's worth it even if we have to give up half of the mythical equipment!

"Yes!" The thief player nodded immediately.

"And one more thing," Blood Wolf War Soul added coldly, watching Li Wu's departing figure from the auction house, "Send word to all elite members of the guild who are online: immediately assemble outside the east gate of Ironforge. Lay a trap! This time, I won't just kill him, I'll make sure he dies a horrible death! I want the entire server to know the consequences of offending the Blood Wolf Guild!"

A revenge plot against Li Wu is about to unfold.

Li Wu, however, was completely unaware of this.

Once he got the blueprints, he went straight to the Ironforge forge.

He was going to find a master blacksmith.

He is also the recipient of the second link in his hidden quest chain—Barton's father, Horn.

Perhaps he can help me forge this [Starseeker Longbow].

This will be the fastest way for him to upgrade his Arcane Bow!

Li Wu walked through the bustling commercial district and arrived at the Ironforge forging area.

Unlike the bustling commercial district, the air here is always filled with a scorching heat, mixed with the smell of coal ash and metal.

The clanging and banging of blacksmithing echoed incessantly.

Both sides of the street were lined with blacksmith shops of all sizes, with all kinds of weapons and armor hanging at their doors.

Following the instructions of the quest chain, Li Wu quickly found an inconspicuous, even somewhat dilapidated, blacksmith shop.

Horn's Blacksmith Shop.

Horn is Barton's father and the only master blacksmith in all of Ironforge.
