As the war between the Draenei and the Shadowmoon Clan raged, the Prophet Velen was concerned with guiding the Draenei through prophecy.

To make enough Insight Potion, Velen needs three ingredients: Swamp Glowbug Dust, Heart of Fungus, and Starflower, and in considerable quantities.

Most of the adventurers from Embaari Village were sent out to collect these three materials.

Robbie wasn't in a hurry to accept the three tasks; he was more interested in his jewelry.

"We've brought back Kriya's spikes. Tell me, where's the trinket?" Robbie couldn't find Yrel, only Dina, who managed the bounty missions.

Dina glanced at Robbie, casually flipped through the mission log, and replied, "Kriya's spikes have been given to the technician Romuul, a skilled jeweler."

I don't know if it's clever or not, but I need to get my jewelry as soon as possible.

Wait, technician Romuul.

Robbie suddenly remembered, wasn't this a follower he could hire in the game?

Robbie unexpectedly spotted Vanessa at the entrance of the inn in Embaari Village.

Vanessa, dressed in an enchanter's robe and carrying Phantom Staff, looked around at the crowd, slightly bewildered, before choosing a direction and taking a step forward.

"Commander, that's a dead end," Robbie quickly warned.

Vanessa immediately turned around, saw Robbie, and then gave a small smile.

Do you think a mere low wall can stop me from moving forward?

Okay, Commander, you're amazing. You can do things unconventionally.

"The Brotherhood received intelligence that a Corruption Night Elf Druid from the Emerald Dream has infiltrated Shadowmoon Valley, attempting to disrupt Prophet Velen's prophecy." Vanessa stared intently at the inn's entrance, seemingly trying to spot the enemy among the passing crowd.

Vanessa likes to disappear, which seems quite unreliable.

But Robbie was also secretly working hard for the mission, which touched him a little. He quickly asked, "Commander, are there any clues?"

"Clue."

Vanessa was a little confused. "Okay, I'm here to see a jeweler. I've heard he makes some nice pieces, and I'd like to have a crystal bracelet made."

Commander, please allow me to retract my emotion.

A familiar figure appeared. The Night Elf Beiqing left the inn and glanced in Robbie's direction. She immediately spotted Vanessa and flashed over to her.

"You! You! You..." Beiqing pointed at Vanessa, her eyes lingering on the Enchanter's Robe: "Where was this robe made?"

"The work of the Hinterlands enchanter Mith'rethis is now out of print."

"I have Pendulum of Doom, genuine, want to trade?"

"No, I'm Priest, what would I need an axe for?"

Beiqing finally noticed Vanessa's appearance and clapped her hands, exclaiming, "I know! You're the worst Priest in the Lunarfall!"

This is truly a case of good news not traveling far, but embarrassing stories travel a thousand miles; Robbie really wanted to cover his face.

Vanessa wasn't angry at all. "Yes, it was me."

Beiqing looked at the Enchanter's Robes with envy. "I am Beiqing Feathermoon, Night Elf race, a defensive Warrior."

"Vanessa Ariane, Discipline Priest from Stormwind City."

Beiqing pleaded, "It's my birthday in a few days, could I borrow the Enchanter's Robe for a day?"

"Sure!" Vanessa replied amiably. "My wardrobe has arrived; it includes the Robes of Insight, the Robes of Quicksand, a set of Poison Silk, the Emerald Set, the Exalted Set, and more. I'll give them a try when I have the chance."

"That's wonderful!" Beiqing exclaimed happily. "By the way, I found a very skilled Draenei jeweler in Embaari Village. The jewelry he makes is very beautiful. Why don't we go together?"

"Great, that's exactly the jeweler I was looking for."

Beiqing and Vanessa led the way, Robbie could only follow behind with his head down.

For some reason, Sori Beast Tamer and the female Deyuli also followed, giving Robbie a wry smile.

Technician Romuul works on a small hillside on the edge of Embaari Village. His job is to repair Draenei protective crystals, and he occasionally does side jobs, such as crafting decorative jewelry.

Beiqing brought out the custom-made necklace and admired it head-to-head with Vanessa. Robbie suddenly noticed a small sign hanging next to Romuul that read, "Waiting to be Hired."

He was indeed a Follower waiting to be hired by the commander.

Robbie pondered to himself, "Such a skilled technician must have attracted the interest of many commanders, so why hasn't he been hired yet?"

Sori Beast Tamer, also saw it. Elves act before they think, so he quickly pulled Beiqing over, using his body to block Vanessa's view, and secretly pointed to the small sign.

Oh, how come I didn't notice?

Beiqing's eyes lit up, and she tugged at Vanessa's sleeve in a show of loyalty. "We can hire Followers, why don't you give it a try?"

Vanessa had noticed the brand long ago; as a legendary thief, keen observation was an essential quality.

However, Vanessa had no interest in the craftsman Romuul. The Defias Brotherhood full of talent, with several top jewelers. Hiring a full-time jeweler would be a waste of Follower slot and simply not worth it.

"You go first!" Vanessa politely shook her head and continued admiring the necklace.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Beiqing stepped forward, about to say something, when technician Romuul pointed to the crystal.

"What's the meaning?"

Romuul turned the crystal, and as it hummed, the howls of wolves echoed through the air.

"So this was a test of my strength. None of you come any closer; I'll handle this alone."

A pack of forest wolves surged up the hillside, Beiqing lifted the Blackrock Barrier and easily withstood it all.

Robbie carefully observed Beiqing's fighting process. This girl's strength was extraordinary. She nimbly leaped in and out of the wolf pack with exceptionally graceful movements. She wiped out a large group of wolves without being injured at all.

Vanessa observed carefully and nodded slightly. "Just as rumored, Beiqing Feathermoon's evasion is extremely high."

How tall?

"It's equivalent to a thief activating an evasion skill."

"Then that means she can dodge 100% of the time, who could possibly touch her?" Robbie asked in surprise.

"It wasn't a perfect dodge," Vanessa whispered to Robbie. "Her transitions between offense and defense aren't particularly smooth. When she attacks with her weapon, she'll leave a slight opening. If you can seize that moment, you can easily defeat her."

Commander, that's easy for you to say. Only you can do something like that.

After eliminating several waves of wolf attacks, they finally took down a rare wolf.

Beiqing appeared extremely relaxed, not a drop of sweat on her pretty face, and said smugly to Romuul:

"As a commander, I'm incredibly powerful. I dare not say anything else, but among all the defensive Warriors of the Lunarfall, I'm definitely number one. Follow me, and you'll get your benefits."

Designer Romuul remained silent, continuing to repair the protective crystal with his head down.

Beiqing blinked her beautiful eyes and said helplessly, "Alright, I'll take the loss, double my salary, double pay at the end of the year, and holidays."

Romuul still did not respond.

"Last week I recruited a beautiful Draenei from the hotel. She's a single, wealthy, and beautiful woman. How about I introduce you to her?"

Romuul ignored him.

Something's not right, Robbie frowned slightly.

Beiqing Feathermoon is powerful, of noble birth, and of good character. She also offered very generous terms, so Romuul had no reason to refuse.
