Chapter 1 Finally Here!

Nie Yan followed the source of the singing, searching for Benita.

After a while, he arrived at the eastern beach and saw a figure in the distance, facing the sea. She looked no different from an ordinary human girl, wearing a white gauze dress that fluttered gently in the wind, her golden hair cascading down in curly waves.

According to the records, the dragon girl Benita was an unparalleled beauty. Although she had lived for a thousand years, time had left no trace on her face. She could freely transform her body into a dragon or a human.

The Dragon race had always been a mysterious existence. Although many dragons still appeared on the continent, they no longer possessed the glory of a thousand years ago. If dragon creatures appeared, they would either be strangled by the guards of the major empires or become slaves to humans. Benita was an exception because she had some connection with the Ten Holy Cavaliers, so the guards of the Greenland Empire did not bother her.

Nie Yan put on the Ten Holy Cavaliers medal and walked towards Benita.

"Hello, Ms. Benita," Nie Yan greeted.

Benita turned her head and looked at Nie Yan blankly.

Seeing Benita's appearance, Nie Yan was slightly lost in thought. Benita could be considered a standard blonde, blue-eyed beauty, like a beautiful goddess in Greek mythology.

Her gaze fell on the Ten Holy Cavaliers medal on Nie Yan's chest, and a bright look flashed in her eyes.

"Mr. Nie Yan, hello. May I ask you a question? Where did you get this medal?" Benita asked.

Nie Yan explained how he obtained the medal, including how he helped Kavana enter Heaven and was chased by Bruin.

Hearing Nie Yan say that he had escaped Bruin's pursuit, Benita showed a hint of surprise.

"Mr. Kavana is a good person. I and Jobia of the Human Empire reached an agreement that unless humans attack me first, I cannot attack humans first. Otherwise, I really want to kill that damned Bruin!" Benita said angrily.

"Ms. Benita, do you know where the other eight Highnesses are being held?" Nie Yan asked. This was the guidance of the mission. He needed to know where the eight Holy Cavaliers were being held in order to rescue them.

"Yes," Benita nodded, looked at Nie Yan, and pondered for a moment. "I can tell you where they are being held, but hellhounds are guarding them. With your current strength, you simply cannot rescue them."

"I will strive to become a strong person until one day I can rescue them," Nie Yan said firmly, feeling ashamed in his heart. In order to get the clues for the mission, he could only perform diligently.

Benita stared at Nie Yan. Nie Yan met Benita's gaze without fear. Benita's eyes were like sapphires, crystal clear and without any flaws.

"Young man, I admire your determination. I have something to give you, and I hope it will be useful to you." A strange light flashed in Benita's eyes, as if a voice was calling to Nie Yan. Benita's gaze sucked him in like a magnet.

Nie Yan felt a wave of sleepiness袭来, and his eyelids drooped. He wanted to open his eyes, but no matter how hard he struggled, it was in vain.

It's mental control!

System: Do you decide to accept Benita's test?

It was estimated to be a part of the mission. The war between the Niu Ren Tribe and the Mage Alliance was still going on. Would it have any impact if he entered the mission? Nie Yan weighed it. In the Niu Ren Tribe, he played more of a role as a spiritual leader and behind-the-scenes planner. Guo Huai, Cui Can Dao Guang, and others were in charge of commanding the troops, so even if he was not there, they could still control the situation. If he refused Benita's mission, he didn't know if he would have another chance in the future. The Legend of the Ten Holy Cavaliers was a very high-end mission. After the players of the Niu Ren Tribe all reached level 100, everyone would clear out the hellhounds together and rescue the eight Holy Cavaliers. Kals would become Nie Yan's servant, which was of great significance to the entire Niu Ren Tribe. It was even more important than the result of this war.

Kals was a legendary mage!

After considering this, Nie Yan clicked Confirm.

After clicking Confirm, Nie Yan fell asleep in a daze.

He didn't know how long it had been, but Nie Yan's hand gradually regained consciousness, and gusts of cool wind blew on his face. He slowly opened his eyes. The sky was gray, and he was lying in a grassland with dense weeds that reached his knees.

Nie Yan stood up and looked at the map. The name of this map was a bit peculiar.

Benita's Enchanted Land: Special Map.

Map attribute: Here, every time you use a skill, you can get fifty times the skill proficiency.

The exit of this map opens once every other day. If you go out, this map will disappear and you will never be able to enter again.

Fifty times skill proficiency! Nie Yan was taken aback. For players, training skill proficiency was the most tedious thing. For a common Backstab skill, continuous training of skill proficiency would probably take about a month to reach level seven, and about five months to reach level ten. Any skill was relatively strong as long as it was trained to level five or higher. If it could be trained to level eight or higher, even the most ordinary skill would be ridiculously powerful, allowing players to get twice the result with half the effort when leveling. If it could be trained to level ten or higher, this skill would be heaven-defying. A skill could be trained to level sixteen at most, and it would take more than two years to train skill proficiency non-stop.

Ordinary players would not spend one or two months constantly training the proficiency of a single skill. Skill proficiency was generally obtained from battles, so the levels of the skills that everyone had were generally not high. It was already very good if some skills could be trained to level five.

If he could train several skills to level five, six, or even higher in this map, it would be very helpful for the future.

Once he left this map, this map would disappear, which made Nie Yan a little depressed. Now was the time when the Niu Ren Tribe and the Mage Alliance were at war. He didn't seem to have much time to train skill proficiency. He immediately contacted Guo Huai through the external communicator and explained the situation.

"It's okay. Don't worry about training your skills. I will report the situation on the battlefield to you every once in a while. With Dao Guang, Shui Se, and the others in charge of the overall situation, there shouldn't be any problems. That kid Knight is also very good at commanding battles," Guo Huai said. In fact, in a battle of hundreds of thousands of people, Nie Yan's impact on the overall battle situation was very limited. In the final analysis, it still depended on how well the command was. The most important thing in this battle was how to maximize the power of the Frost Ironclad Catapults.

"Notify me immediately if there is any situation!" Nie Yan said. With Dao Guang, Shui Se, and the others there, he was still relatively relieved.

After Nie Yan explained everything, time was limited. He decided to train the proficiency of several skills as soon as possible. He could get fifty times the skill proficiency, so he definitely couldn't waste it. He pulled down the skill list and looked at it. The skill list had dozens of skills, a dazzling array, and it was really difficult to choose.

Let's train a few of the Great Thief's free skills first, Nie Yan thought. He hadn't fully mastered these newly learned free skills, including Reverse Backstab, Shadow Illusion Assassination, Counter, Instant Strike, and Spinal Tap. For ordinary Great Thieves, five free skills were considered quite a lot.

Reverse Backstab and Shadow Illusion Assassination were learned relatively early, and Nie Yan could already achieve about 70% completion. Counter, Instant Strike, and Spinal Tap were learned relatively late and could only achieve about 50% completion.

If he could fully explore the techniques of these skills and train them to level five or six or even higher, Nie Yan wouldn't have any problems taking on elite monsters of the same level in a one-on-one fight. He might even be able to challenge lord-level monsters of the same level.

Nie Yan understood what having powerful skills meant to a thief.

He dragged these five skills to the most convenient positions and walked towards the distance. On the vast grassland, there were humanoid creatures moving around, some warriors wearing gray iron armor and red headscarves, wandering around. These warriors were about a head taller than Nie Yan, with very strong muscles, and wielding a giant axe.

Nie Yan went into stealth and approached one of them, casting Detect.

Man-Bull Warrior: Level 100, HP 800000.

Seeing the Man-Bull Warrior's HP, Nie Yan frowned. These Man-Bull Warriors were neither lords nor elites, just ordinary monsters, but their HP was too high.

Level 100 monsters shouldn't be this terrifying.

Nie Yan reached the back of the Man-Bull Warrior, about thirty yards away, and suddenly burst out, pouncing towards the Man-Bull Warrior.

Spinal Tap!

Nie Yan砍了下去 at the spine of the Man-Bull Warrior's back. With a muffled sound, the Man-Bull Warrior's body paused, and a damage value of more than one thousand two hundred floated above its head.

What high defense!

He looked at the system prompt.

System: Spinal Tap skill cast successfully, 52% completion, dealing 80% attack damage, gaining 50 skill proficiency points.

The skill proficiency of the Spinal Tap skill suddenly increased by a large amount. How awesome! Usually, it would only take a few hours to train this much skill proficiency.

The Man-Bull Warrior fell into a brief state of cripple, and Nie Yan used another Instant Strike.

The Man-Bull Warrior slowly turned around and swept its axe horizontally. Nie Yan quickly retreated several steps, dodging the Man-Bull Warrior's attack. Feeling that the Man-Bull Warrior's attack speed wasn't fast, he was excited. This kind of creature was perfect for training skill proficiency. It was simply tailor-made for him. The Man-Bull Warrior's attack speed was slow, so Nie Yan could easily dodge its attacks. Plus, it had such high HP, so he could just use all his skills on it. He could train his skills on each Man-Bull Warrior for a while.

He looked at the skill bar and found that the Spinal Tap and Instant Strike skills had already cooled down by one-fifth. The cooldown time of these free skills was quite long, at least a minute or two. Why was the cooldown time so short today?

Could it be that staying in this map could shorten the cooldown time of these skills? Thinking of this, Nie Yan couldn't help but feel ecstatic. It was so awesome to train skill proficiency in this map!

~~Recently, it's not very convenient to go online. It takes a long time to get from the suburbs to the city. I'll change the time to post the latest chapters to around noon in the morning.
