Chapter 187 The Book of Holy Judgment

A few seconds later, with a soft click, the treasure chest was opened.

Nie Yan opened the treasure chest, and a beam of pure white light burst out, so dazzling that he quickly shielded his eyes with his hands. After a while, the white light gradually subsided, and he looked inside. He saw a small book lying quietly inside, just like an ordinary skill book. It contained a powerful holy light, giving people a warm feeling.

He reached out and picked up the book, which slowly opened, and a beam of pure white light enveloped Nie Yan.

So it's not a skill book, Nie Yan couldn't help thinking. He glanced at the text on the book, which were some complex ancient common language characters. Fortunately, he had learned ancient common language, and he could vaguely recognize that it was the Book of Holy Judgment.

"You have discovered an ancient book containing fragments of history, the words difficult and obscure. 'What the hell is this?'" you couldn't help but curse. You quickly flipped through it, and on the last page, a passage was written: "The powerful Holy Word Mage Bierds created a powerful Holy Word magic. Five powerful Archmage-level Holy Word Mages gathered together. In the name of holiness, they activated this magic array, trapping the Dragon Great Earl Isterbrook within the array. Bierds used holy light to create the supreme Sword of Judgment and pierced Isterbrook's chest, purifying him."

Nie Yan looked at this passage and still didn't know what it was for. He looked down and saw a series of complex geometric patterns engraved on the cover of the last page of the book, like a magic array, with a series of magical symbols next to it, which only mages who specialize in magic could understand.

Could it be a mission clue?

Nie Yan frowned and was about to throw the Book of Holy Judgment into his backpack when he received a system prompt.

"Take it to a learned Holy Word Mage, and he (or she) will tell you the answer."

It seems that only a Holy Word Mage can understand it. He put away the Book of Holy Judgment and decided to look at it again later.

His skills were almost leveled up, it was time to leave here, Nie Yan couldn't help thinking. He was still three levels away from level 100. After reaching level 100, he could go to the Holy Temple to do the Saint Shadow Dance class advancement mission. He looked at the level榜 (bǎng - list), and the highest-level player on the Green Land level榜 (bǎng - list) was Tang Yao at level 88, followed by Xie Yao at level 87. There was already a large group of people above level 80. His level advantage was still quite obvious. Nie Yan estimated that doing the Saint Shadow Dance mission would also take a long time, so he had to ensure a large enough level advantage before going in.

It would take about two more hours for the exit of this Misty Realm to open.

Nie Yan practiced his skills in the Misty Realm for another two hours, while rushing towards the center of the Misty Realm, where a huge white light gate appeared.

Nie Yan walked towards the light gate, and he received a system prompt.

System: Are you sure you want to leave the Misty Realm?

Yes!

After a flash of light and shadow, Nie Yan's eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Nie Yan opened his eyes. The sea breeze was whistling, and the air had a salty, fishy smell. He got up and looked around, only to find that the dragon girl Benita was gone. In the distance was a vast sea.

He should return to the city first. Nie Yan used a Return Scroll, and with a flash of white light, he returned to Calore City.

Teleporting to the headquarters of the Mad Rogue Guild in Cripps Fortress, Nie Yan sent a message to Xie Yao, asking her to come over and help him see what the Book of Holy Judgment was.

Xie Yao stopped grinding monsters and rushed back without stopping.

Guo Huai and others were at the Mad Rogue Guild headquarters, discussing the expansion strategy of the Mad Rogue Guild. They were equivalent to Nie Yan's think tank. After they discussed a plan, Nie Yan made the final decision. In fact, Nie Yan didn't need to spend too much effort on the management of the Mad Rogue Guild. Just like a company, if the chairman of the company had to do everything himself, he would definitely be exhausted.

Nie Yan only needed to decide the development direction of the Mad Rogue Guild.

When Guo Huai and others saw Nie Yan return, they all greeted him.

"You're finally back. How was the harvest?" Guo Huai asked, looking at Nie Yan.

"Not bad." Nie Yan smiled.

Seeing Nie Yan's calm expression, Guo Huai knew that Nie Yan's personality was like this. Don't look at Nie Yan as if nothing was happening now, but when something really happened, Nie Yan's display of strength would definitely be shocking.

"Give this skill book to Shui Se, and put the other skill books in the guild warehouse to see who needs them." Nie Yan said, dumping all the skill books on his body to Guo Huai.

A full five hundred books, Guo Huai was almost going crazy: "Where did you go? How did you get so many skill books!"

"I was leveling skills in a map that doesn't drop anything else, only skill books." Nie Yan said with a wry smile.

Guo Huai casually glanced at these skill books. There were quite a few rare skills. The value of so many skill books was immeasurable.

After a while, Xie Yao returned to the guild headquarters.

"How many pieces of your Goddess Set have you collected?" Nie Yan asked. The equipment on Xie Yao's body exuded a gentle and holy power, wrapping her in it, making her look like a true goddess, beautiful and otherworldly. Xie Yao must have collected more set components, otherwise, she wouldn't have produced such an aura effect.

"I've already found five pieces." Xie Yao smiled, pursing her lips. Her harvest during this time was quite rich.

Xie Yao had actually collected five pieces. It seemed that she would be able to collect the whole set soon. Nie Yan said, "Can you help me see what this Book of Holy Judgment is?"

Nie Yan took out the Book of Holy Judgment and handed it to Xie Yao. As a Holy Word Mage, Xie Yao should be more knowledgeable about Holy Word items.

Xie Yao looked at the Book of Holy Judgment and said in surprise, "It's actually the Book of Holy Judgment?!"

"Do you know what this is?"

"The Book of Holy Judgment is from the Dark Ages. Like the book describes, there is a period of history. It is said that five Archmage-level Holy Word Mages can read the magic on it to trap some large creatures and prevent them from moving. The string of symbols at the back is the spell to activate the magic array." Xie Yao explained.

"How long can it trap them?" Nie Yan asked. He didn't expect the Book of Holy Judgment to be such a thing.

"If the trapped creature does not attack the magic array, it can last for about a minute. If it attacks the magic array, it's hard to say. If the trapped creature is too powerful, it may only last for about ten seconds. The cooldown time for this skill is two natural days," Xie Yao said.

"That's enough," Nie Yan said. In a fierce battle, even ten seconds would be enough to affect the entire battle.

"Five Holy Word Mages need to practice their coordination together to use this Book of Holy Judgment."

"Find four people in the guild," Nie Yan thought for a moment and said. It was better to keep the Book of Holy Judgment with Xie Yao. There was no one more suitable than Xie Yao.

"Okay." Xie Yao nodded. Nie Yan gave her such an important thing, which must have a profound meaning. She immediately felt the burden on her shoulders was very heavy.

After staying in the guild headquarters for a while, Xie Yao went to pick her teammates. Her primary condition was that they had good skills, and secondly, that they were female players.

There were still many powerful female players in the Mad Rogue Guild. Women could hold up half the sky, which was definitely applicable in the Mad Rogue Guild.

After Nie Yan finished arranging things, he took a large number of high-level and mid-level area-of-effect magic bombs to level up. During this time, Zi Yan helped him make a lot of area-of-effect magic bombs again.

He estimated that it would take about five days to reach level 100. After the area-of-effect magic bombs were used up, Nie Yan could only rely on himself to grind monsters to level up. However, he had a lot of weird leveling methods in his mind, which were all explored by some genius-level players in his previous life. They were strange and varied, but very effective. Nie Yan's leveling speed would definitely not be slow.

Going to class during the day and leveling up at night, this kind of life was quite pleasant. The Mad Rogue Guild was expanding rapidly, and more and more Mad Rogue Guild players were beginning to enjoy the benefits of the guild becoming stronger. Now, no matter where they leveled up, players from other guilds had to give way to them. Fortunately, the Mad Rogue Guild had always been very disciplined and did not develop the arrogant and domineering habits of guilds like the Triumph Empire in his previous life.

On the third day, Nie Yan, as usual, returned to the Mad Rogue Guild with a backpack full of equipment and threw all the equipment into the guild warehouse. He glanced at the guild warehouse. The Mad Rogue Guild's guild warehouse was spectacular. These things were categorized and put away, dazzling and totaling 1.6 million pieces. Moreover, the quality of the equipment inside was far superior to other guilds. Nie Yan estimated that in terms of the richness of the guild warehouse, only Angel Faction in the Green Land Empire and the Saturn Empire could compare.

"How is the harvest of Dao Guang and Shui Se in the Griffin Woodlands?" Nie Yan asked casually, looking at Guo Huai beside him.

"The harvest has been good in the past few days. Currently, our Mad Rogue Guild already has nine flying mounts," Guo Huai said. Angel Faction lost an unknown amount before they explored an area in the Griffin Woodlands, spending nearly a month to get only thirty or so flying mounts. In contrast, the Mad Rogue Guild suffered very few losses but gained a lot. "Dao Guang and the others just received a mission in the Griffin Woodlands to hunt Poison Mist Beasts in the Poisonous Mist Valley. It is said that they can get a Griffin Cage, which can be used to cultivate Griffin cubs. So they went as a group."

"What, you said they went to the Poisonous Mist Valley?" Nie Yan, who was sitting down preparing a bandage, stood up abruptly after hearing Guo Huai's words and asked with a solemn tone.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Guo Huai asked, seeing that Nie Yan's expression was not right.

"What is their current progress?"

"They are grinding the Boss."

"Immediately prepare some Master-level antidote potions for me. I want to go to the Poisonous Mist Valley. Hurry up, don't delay," Nie Yan said anxiously. Since they were already fighting the Boss, they couldn't retreat.

"Okay, I'll go immediately," Guo Huai said. He also understood the seriousness of the matter and quickly asked his subordinates to get Master-level antidote potions.
