Hearing Kakakoli’s words, Nieyan blushed slightly. He understood what Kakakoli meant. In Kakakoli’s eyes, as long as a person’s life was not taken, it was already considered merciful.
“Mad Rogue Nieyan, don’t think you’re so great just because you’re the Great Prophet. I swear I will settle this score with you someday!” An impulsive orc warrior nearby struggled to break free from the guards’ restraint.
The surrounding players looked at the orc warrior with expressions of disdain, as if he were an idiot. This guy actually claimed he wanted to settle a score with Mad Rogue Nieyan. Did he even look in the mirror to see if he had the capability? Even if he spent his entire life at it, he probably couldn’t reach Nieyan’s current level of achievement.
“Mr. Kakakoli, he never learns his lesson. May I ask what the maximum imprisonment period is?” Nieyan asked Kakakoli. This foolish fellow thought that just by making threats, he could seek revenge?
“The maximum is ten days.”
“Then imprison him for ten days.”
“Yes, Revered Great Prophet Nieyan.”
Nieyan had no patience for these Angel Empire members either and snorted coldly.
By Nieyan’s standards, when faced with an unfavorable situation, a real man should not engage in verbal fights but learn to endure until he grows strong enough to avenge himself. This orc warrior couldn’t even show a little patience and dared to talk about settling scores with him? It was laughable.
Instantly, all the Angel Empire members fell silent. Although humiliating, none of them dared to insult Nieyan anymore. A three-day imprisonment was already very severe for them. Ten days meant they would miss many opportunities and fall behind in levels. Mad Rogue Nieyan was simply untouchable!
Looking dejected, like stray dogs, they were led away by the guards.
“Revered Great Prophet Nieyan, in the Orcish Capital, anyone who dares to offend you will be severely punished. If you need anything, we will arrive in the shortest possible time.” Kakakoli cast a stern glance over the gathered players.
The players all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Kokakoli.
After a while, Kakakoli and the guards departed.
“You really are Mad Rogue Nieyan. Thank you for helping me earlier. Otherwise…” The leader of the elite group nervously rubbed his hands, still finding it hard to believe.
Outside, players from the Sartan Empire examined Nieyan closely. He wore a hood, obscuring his features, but since the NPCs had already confirmed his identity, there must be no mistake. They immediately recalled the rumors circulating about Mad Rogue Nieyan appearing in Sartan Empire, ambushing Angel Empire’s top teams twice, even defeating a thousand-member group once. Nieyan had already become a legend, and today’s incident would surely become a hot topic of conversation.
They watched from afar, afraid to approach, not wanting to be taken away by the guards.
“It was nothing, just a small favor,” Nieyan smiled faintly. “You should be careful. Angel Empire probably already has its eyes on you. If you can’t survive in Sartan Empire anymore, just run to Gullinlan Empire.”
The elite leader chuckled. “I’m used to Sartan Empire. Since the server opened, I accidentally crossed the border and have been leveling up in Sartan Empire ever since. I’m familiar with the maps here. I’m not used to Gullinlan Empire. Besides, I often train outside the cities, staying away from the Orcish Capital for one or two months at a time. Angel Empire won’t be able to do anything to me.”
“You came to Sartan Empire since the server opened?” Nieyan was surprised and asked doubtfully. That shouldn’t be the case normally.
“It’s a long story. When the server opened, I was born in Chris Village of Flame City, which is exactly on the border between Gullinlan Empire and Sartan Empire. At that time, I was only level nine. I ran north alone and actually passed through a map with monsters over a hundred levels, arriving at an unfamiliar place. I felt I couldn’t return, so I used a recall scroll and ended up in Krixla Village of Sartan Empire. After that, I couldn’t go back anymore,” the elite leader explained.
Nieyan couldn’t help laughing. The elite leader’s experience was indeed tortuous. A human paladin coming to the orc empire at such a low level, his experiences could be imagined. Most of the equipment in the orc empire was unusable for him. Normal teams wouldn’t invite him, making it hard to obtain good gear. Completing quests was also difficult, as most orc NPCs rarely gave quests to human players.
Under such circumstances, the elite leader didn’t delete his character but persisted, slowly leveling up to level 103. That was truly remarkable. If he had stayed in the human empire, he might have reached level 150 or even 160, possibly becoming a top-tier player.
Now, the elite leader had become a local expert in Sartan Empire, familiar with every map. He would never leave Sartan Empire.
“If you encounter any trouble, you can go to Heaven’s Song and find Sanjie Liubu. If you’re willing, you can also join Heaven’s Song,” Nieyan said. He valued the elite leader highly, offering him a new stage where his achievements might be completely different.
“Sanjie Liubu?” The elite leader was taken aback.
“Do you know him?” Nieyan asked.
“No, I’ve just heard of him,” the elite leader shook his head.
“In the future, if you obtain high-level herbs, you can sell them to Star Pharmacy. Our purchase price will never be lower than the market price.”
After chatting with the elite leader for a while, Nieyan found him quite interesting and gave him a VIP badge for Star Pharmacy. With this badge, he could enjoy a 30% discount when purchasing potions at Star Pharmacy, which excited the elite leader greatly. Every time he traveled, a significant portion of his expenses went to buying potions. This VIP badge would save him a lot of money.
At first, when Nieyan coldly sent those Angel Empire members to prison, the elite leader thought Nieyan was hard to approach. However, after interacting with him, he realized Nieyan was actually very approachable, completely different from the arrogant reputation circulating outside. Indeed, rumors were unreliable. Nieyan had first helped him and then gifted him the VIP badge, making him extremely grateful and unsure how to thank Nieyan. Suddenly, he remembered something and took out an item from his backpack. “I accidentally obtained this from a dark elf village. With my current strength, I can’t complete this quest. I’ll give it to you.”
The elite leader handed the item to Nieyan.
Nieyan was puzzled and looked at the elite leader’s right hand. It was a black gemstone.
This gem was about the size of a pigeon egg, brilliant and shining with black light.
Nieyan checked the gem’s attributes.
Demon Soul Stone: Quest item, requires level 150.
“This item has a high level requirement. It should trigger a high-level quest. You should keep it yourself,” Nieyan said. Although he was very interested in the Demon Soul Stone, he couldn’t just accept such a valuable item.
“For me, the VIP badge you gave me is much more practical than the Demon Soul Stone. I don’t know when I’ll be able to do this quest, maybe even never. Keeping it in my backpack is just a waste. I’ve considered selling it. I might throw it into the auction house soon,” the elite leader said. With his current equipment level, he didn’t know when he would reach level 150, and even if he did, he wasn’t sure if he had the strength to complete the quest. It would be better to sell it.
“If that’s the case, let me exchange something with you,” Nieyan thought for a moment. The elite leader might have a point, but he didn’t want to owe him a favor.
“Can you use the Demon Soul Stone?” the elite leader asked.
“Definitely.”
“Okay, I agree to the exchange.” Hearing Nieyan’s words, the elite leader, not a stubborn person, readily agreed.
“I’ll exchange a level 110 paladin set of dark gold armor for it.”
“No, that’s too much. I don’t need that much,” the elite leader hurriedly said. A complete set of level 110 paladin dark gold armor in the market was practically priceless and impossible to find.
“It’s worth that much,” Nieyan said. This Demon Soul Stone was no simple item, worth much more than a level 110 paladin dark gold armor set. Nieyan had his reasons for exchanging a level 110 paladin dark gold armor set with the elite leader. If the elite leader had sufficient ability, this dark gold armor set would completely change his fate.
The elite leader was silent for a moment, then nodded. “Okay.”
Nieyan had someone bring the paladin dark gold armor set and completed the exchange with the elite leader.
The Demon Soul Stone felt cold and piercing when held, a sensation Nieyan found very familiar, similar to the Fallen Feather, both being demonic items. He wondered if there was any connection but could only wait until reaching level 150 to find out.
He checked his current level, only level 126. On the leaderboard, players at levels 130 to 140 were common, with the highest even reaching level 149. It was time to find opportunities to level up.
Putting the Demon Soul Stone into his backpack, Nieyan had many things to attend to. He bid farewell to the elite leader and walked toward the teleportation array.
The elite leader looked at his backpack. A complete set of level 110 paladin dark gold armor quietly lay there. When he reached level 110, he could wear this dark gold armor, no longer needing to rely on low-quality gear as he did now.
Watching Nieyan’s figure slowly disappear at the end of the street, the elite leader was filled with gratitude. Suddenly, he felt hopeful about the future. If he could seize this opportunity, he might also catch up with the top players and join the ranks of the elite!
