In the Eternal City, the most coveted items are the three Moraq Winter-Thaw Daggers carried by the five lords. These sub-legendary items possess incredible attack and critical strike capabilities, outclassing even some sub-legendary two-handed greatswords, making them the favorites of rogues and shield warriors.
There are only three Winter-Thaw Daggers, each with different attributes. If all three are looted, no more will drop.
As for the other item, it’s the remaining piece of the Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor, a legendary fragment even rarer than the Winter-Thaw Daggers.
Because it is unique!
Since it is merely a legendary fragment, its attributes are naturally far inferior to sub-legendary gear. Only by collecting all the fragments can the armor regain its originally powerful attributes.
But in the previous life, even after a very long time, players never managed to loot the Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor, gradually forgetting about this legendary fragment.
No one expected the Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor to drop on the first raid.
Everyone shared the attributes of the Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor in the guild chat.
Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor (Fragment): Requires Agility 290, Strength 360.
Item Description: Requires Strength 130.
Item Description: The Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor is broken and needs repair, but it still retains powerful magic. The complete Sorag Obsidian set includes: Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor, Sorag Obsidian Fine Feather Threads, and Sorag Obsidian Magic-Weave Cloth. You must find the remaining fragments to restore its original form.
Attributes: Defense 370-386, +20 Agility, +20 Speed, +10 Jump, +10 Stealth, +10 Concealment, +10 Reflex, with an additional Level 3 Obsidian Shield. Level 3 Obsidian Shield reduces damage taken by 30%, with 1200 durability. Duration is 3 minutes, with a 1-hour skill cooldown.
Restriction: Can only be used by rogues of any faction.
The armor’s defense is very high, making its attributes undeniably powerful. The Obsidian Shield is also excellent, even surpassing some level-50 rare leather armors.
However, the high Strength requirement makes most rogues hesitate. Perhaps only Nie Yan, with his abnormal stats, could wear such an armor.
“Does anyone want this armor?” Nie Yan asked in the guild chat.
The rogue team members shook their heads in disappointment. With such high requirements, how could they possibly wear it?
Nie Yan turned to Yi Chuai Ding Qing, asking, “Do you need it?”
Yi Chuai Ding Qing is one of the future main rogues of the guild. These members are the backbone of the Cowhead Tribe. If they wanted gear, Nie Yan, as the guild leader, would naturally prioritize them, since he could still obtain better gear himself.
Yi Chuai Ding Qing shook her head, saying, “I’m a pure agility rogue, with only around 80 Strength, all from equipment bonuses. I can’t even equip it.”
At her current level, Yi Chuai Ding Qing only has 80 Strength, indicating she’s a pure agility rogue!
Once a rogue’s Agility reaches 500, some of it starts converting into attack power. At 1000 Agility, the conversion doubles. Many rogues prefer Agility builds, but few commit fully to pure Agility. Pure Agility rogues have high movement and attack speeds, but their attack power often lags, leading many to give up halfway and add some Strength.
If Yi Chuai Ding Qing could catch up in level and gear, reaching 500 Agility would mark her early success. If she surpassed 1000 Agility, she would truly shine.
The main team members were discouraged by the armor’s high requirements. Only Nie Yan, whose stats far exceeded the requirements, could wear the Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor now.
“Then I’ll take it,” Nie Yan said, planning to replace it later and deposit it in the guild bank, by which time the other players’ stats would likely be sufficient.
Nie Yan equipped the Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor and checked his stats, which increased significantly. The armor emitted a pure black luster, like an obsidian gemstone, mysterious and eerie.
Looking at the other two pieces, both were good rare items, claimed by two members with around 20,000 contribution points.
Considering the value of the Sorag Obsidian Leather Armor, Nie Yan distributed over 500 guild contribution points to each member, giving them a real sense of satisfaction.
Nie Yan was generous in distributing guild contribution points, earning everyone’s trust.
Additionally, the players gained substantial experience, each earning at least 80% of their current level’s experience, leading many to level up and reap significant rewards.
Besides the three items, Nie Yan collected the fifth fragment of the Energy Key.
Placing all five fragments in his backpack, they gradually fused together, emitting a dazzling glow, eventually forming a white Energy Key.
Eternal City Energy Key: Special Item.
“Boss, what’s this for?”
“The official website says it can open the Eternal Gate. What’s the Eternal Gate?”
Nie Yan didn’t explain, saying, “Let’s go check it out.”
Nie Yan walked toward the central plaza of the Eternal City, where the towering obelisk emitted a faint white glow, majestically standing with murals depicting the rise and fall of the goblins. Eventually, only this city remained, enduring through history, hence named the Eternal City.
The team followed Nie Yan, noticing the cracked, turtle-shell-patterned stones on the plaza ground, spread in an unusual way.
Crossing the ancient plaza, they arrived at the base of the obelisk.
At the base of the obelisk stood an ancient iron door, heavily rusted with mottled patterns resembling floral prints. No force could open this door.
In the center of the door was a keyhole, surrounded by intricate metal mechanisms, creating a dizzying effect.
Nie Yan took out the Energy Key.
“Is this the Eternal Gate?”
“It doesn’t look impressive. I heard opening the Eternal Gate grants the Eternal City’s Energy Core.”
“What’s the Energy Core for?”
“Who knows? It’s probably related to guild strongholds,” the team members speculated.
Nie Yan turned to the team, saying, “You all stay outside. I’ll be back soon.”
The Eternal Gate had no monsters inside, so Nie Yan could safely enter. Taking the Energy Key from his backpack, he slowly inserted it. Powerful energy streams shot from the keyhole, dissipating into the air.
As the key fully inserted, a dazzling light flowed across the iron door, transforming the rusted door into a pristine, radiant one.
Nie Yan gently pushed the door open, revealing a dark space.
“If anything happens, run immediately,” Cui Can Dao Guang said, still somewhat worried.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine,” Nie Yan replied, confident there were no monsters inside.
The space was empty and silent. Nie Yan walked into the darkness, eventually reaching a boundless void. In the center stood a one-yard-high stone platform, with a metal basin atop it. Droplets of light green liquid dripped from above into the basin.
The basin was filled with green liquid.
Looking into the basin, Nie Yan spotted an egg-sized energy stone at the bottom, elliptical and emerald green.
This was the Energy Core he sought!
With this Energy Core and a few NPC barrier specialists, he could construct a barrier for the stronghold, defending against magic up to level 5, sufficient until level 150. In his previous life, during his assassination of Cao Xu, only two magi had mastered level 6 magic.
The barrier’s significance was immense. It could prevent enemy mages from bombarding the stronghold with spells, while allowing friendly mages to attack outward. Players could freely pass through the barrier.
The Energy Core’s ability to resist magic alone made it invaluable.
Nie Yan reached into the basin, retrieving the Energy Core. As he pulled it out, the green liquid instantly became clear, as if something had been drained by the Energy Core.
Nie Yan checked the Energy Core’s attributes.
Primary Energy Core: Generates 1 Megalon of energy daily, with a maximum storage of 50 Megalons.
Megalon is a goblin energy unit representing a specific energy intensity. A level 1 advanced magic spell releases approximately 0.1 Megalon. Thus, a stronghold with an energy barrier at full capacity would require at least 500 level 1 advanced spells to breach!
It would take at least ten natural days to generate another Primary Energy Core. Nie Yan decided to let the team collect the next one later, as he had no intention of returning.
Nie Yan took the Primary Energy Core and exited, where Cui Can Dao Guang and others eagerly awaited.
“Did you get it?” Cui Can Dao Guang asked, having researched the Energy Core’s significance on the official website.
Nie Yan nodded, “Got it. Coming here was definitely worth it.”
“What’s next?” Cui Can Dao Guang asked.
“Let them go back first. We’ll grind levels outside the Eternal City,” Nie Yan replied, considering it inefficient for so many to stay together.
Just then, Nie Yan’s voice chat rang, from Guo Huai.
“Nie Yan, I heard a level 40 golden earth dragon has appeared in the Sin Domain Canyon east of Carol City. Someone checked the official website—the golden earth dragon drops the earth dragon horn, which can be used to summon it. The Triumph Empire, Light Holy Flame, Holy Roman Empire, and Jade Temple have all mobilized. Should we go?” Guo Huai asked.
The golden earth dragon was a rare ultra-grade summoning creature!
“Of course, let’s go! Our Cowhead Tribe should join the fun too!”
