Chapter 164 Doro's Illusion

Everywhere was littered with rubble, scattered in pieces, faintly etched with the script of the Dragon race. In the distant Dark Ages, the dark elves were slaves to the dragons, and the script they used for sacrifices was also that of the dragons. In their eyes, it was a symbol of nobility and holiness.

Their history and culture were bestowed upon them by the dragons. Even after a thousand years, they were still vassals of the dragons, and they dared not disobey any dragon's will.

Near the altar were the skeletal remains of various creatures, including human skulls, piled together.

Nie Yan could imagine a chieftain of a small dark elf tribe performing sacrificial rituals here using various creatures. After the Co-Governance Era, the rule of the dragons was overthrown, and the dark elves were hunted and driven out by humans, white elves, and giants, disappearing from the mainland. Many large tribes migrated to the distant underground, but many places on the continent still bore traces of the dark elves' lives.

Nie Yan walked to the altar and saw dozens of pieces of rubble rise from the ground. They floated in the sky, and dark energy filled every stone, with some characters clearly reflected on them.

With his understanding of the dragon script, Nie Yan vaguely understood some of the words, such as "God of Destruction," "Chosen of the Distant Darkness," and "Sinful Dimensional Space," but it was difficult to connect these pieces of information.

What did these dozens of floating stones represent?

‘System: You have discovered an altar left behind by the dark elves of the Dark Ages, which still retains dark magic. You gently touch this dark magic, which comes from another dimension. It is a powerful force.’

‘System: The dark elves are vassals of the dragons. What did these vile creatures do here?’

Nie Yan suddenly noticed that the dark magic of these dozens of stones was gradually gathering in the center of the altar, and a dark portal slowly opened.

Nie Yan was only a few steps away from this dark portal. Seeing it open, he cautiously took a step back. He didn't know where this dark portal led, or whether there were any dangers. It was all unknown.

He couldn't take the risk!

Faith had too many unknown maps, full of danger. For the Chapter of Courage and the Chapter of Freedom, Nie Yan decided to give up.

Just as Nie Yan was about to leave, a powerful force of attraction pulled at him. He was shocked and tried to retreat, but his strength was too small compared to this attraction.

The dark portal was like a black demon beast, swallowing Nie Yan in one gulp.

Nie Yan's vision went black, and he lost consciousness.

After Nie Yan entered the portal, the stones floating around the altar slowly dimmed and, losing their support, fell from the sky.

"Did Brother Nie Yan go offline?" Sun asked Tang Yao with a puzzled look, because he saw Nie Yan's name dim.

"I don't know." Tang Yao was puzzled. He sent a message to Nie Yan, which showed that the person was not in the local map. Could Nie Yan be teleported to another map?

"What happened to Nie Yan?" Yao Yao asked worriedly.

"He'll handle it if something happens. Let's continue." Tang Yao had an almost obsessive trust in Nie Yan.

The Greenland Empire was an independent map. Players could whisper to people within the local map, but could not whisper to players from other maps, such as the Saturn Empire or the Giant Tribe. Unless Nie Yan had already left Greenland, but how was that possible? The map of the Greenland Empire stretched for millions of miles and was boundless. This was only the heartland of Greenland. Running from here at the fastest speed would take at least five days, unless they teleported. And only Carol City in the entire Greenland had a teleportation point connecting to the royal city of Saturn.

Despite being very puzzled about what had happened to Nie Yan, they could only temporarily suppress the doubts in their hearts and continue killing monsters to remove their red names. After leveling up to level 18, Tang Yao's magic damage to the scale frogs was higher, so they could handle the elites. They began to look for elite creatures according to the coordinates provided by Nie Yan.

He didn't know how long had passed when Nie Yan woke up. He was lying on the ground, and cold rain was hitting his face, piercing him like sharp blades.

Nie Yan quickly got up from the ground and looked at his backpack. The Chapter of Courage and the Chapter of Freedom were still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

System: You have discovered Doro's Phantasmal Realm.

Seeing the system prompt, Nie Yan understood that this was a quest map.

This was a vast wilderness. The sky was gloomy, the cold wind howled, and it was raining heavily.

Nie Yan looked around and saw that this was a closed area, and he couldn't use a return scroll.

Some knights riding black skeletal warhorses roamed the wilderness. They wore black metal armor and held metal spears more than three yards long, but they had no heads.

Nie Yan entered stealth mode and slowly approached one of the knights.

Headless Knight (Undead): Level 30, HP 12001200.

System: Quest progress 1, kill 20 Headless Knights.

He didn't know what the consequences of dying in this quest map would be. These Headless Knights were probably not easy to deal with. With Nie Yan's strength, killing monsters of such a high level was too difficult.

He couldn't withstand the Headless Knight's attacks, let alone command them. Using Undead Sacrifice rashly would be a foolish move.

Nie Yan searched for Headless Knights on the official website, but found that there was no introduction about them. He could only give up and find his own way.

If his own attributes were not enough, he could only look for the monster's weaknesses.

After thinking for a while, Nie Yan tested the Headless Knight. He ran to a place about seventy yards away from the Headless Knight and used the method he had used to deal with the manticore, using arrows to nail the ground to see if he could attract the Headless Knight's attention and to detect the Headless Knight's field of vision.

Observing the Headless Knight's movements, Nie Yan found that the Headless Knight's movements were very clumsy, especially when turning around, which was very slow.

Swish, swish, swish, three arrows were nailed to the ground about thirty yards in front of the Headless Knight. The Headless Knight suddenly moved and urged its bone horse to lunge forward for more than twenty yards. The strong impact speed brought up a whirlwind.

This guy's instant burst speed reached at least 120!

He didn't expect that the seemingly clumsy Headless Knight would be so fast once it discovered an enemy!

Nie Yan was startled and activated Hasty Retreat, retreating far away.

The Headless Knight's perception distance was about thirty-five yards, and its impact speed was 120. A head-on confrontation was not something Nie Yan could handle at his level!

Nie Yan looked at the Headless Knight in the distance, feeling distressed. The faster the knight's impact speed, the higher the bonus to the attack attribute. The Headless Knight's level was so much higher than his. If it discovered him, it might kill him in one hit!

The Headless Knight did not find an enemy and stood still, slowly driving the horse under its feet. As an undead, its joints were very stiff, so the movements were very difficult and slow when turning.

Looking at the Headless Knight's clumsy movements, Nie Yan suddenly had an idea. He went around to the back of the Headless Knight and used the same method to test the Headless Knight from behind.

He shot arrows to explore the Headless Knight's detection range behind it. After more than ten minutes of testing, he finally determined that the Headless Knight's detection range behind it was very small, only about three or four yards. Moreover, even if the Headless Knight detected movement behind it, it would take at least half a minute to turn its horse around.

Nie Yan smiled slightly. This made it much easier to deal with. He raised the crossbow in his hand and shot it at the Headless Knight.

Dud, dud, dud, three arrows were nailed into the Headless Knight's body, and three damage values ​​-26, -29, -31 floated from the Headless Knight's head.

The Headless Knight discovered that it was being attacked from behind and drove its horse to turn around.

Nie Yan naturally wouldn't stay still. He ran around the Headless Knight, constantly shooting at the Headless Knight's back.

No matter how the Headless Knight drove its horse, it couldn't face Nie Yan. It spun around in place and couldn't find Nie Yan. With its low intelligence, it didn't know how to deal with it.

Dud, dud, dud, the arrows kept coming, and the continuous damage output caused the Headless Knight's health to drop rapidly. In about three minutes, the Headless Knight fell to the ground.

System: Quest progress 1, killed Headless Knight 120.

Perfect! Nie Yan walked up and picked up the items dropped by the Headless Knight. There were two silver coins and a damaged drawing filled with various patterns.

Headless Knight Doro's Mounted Crossbow (Drawing): Quantity 110, requires Advanced Blacksmith.

Headless Knight Doro's Mounted Crossbow: Sub-Legendary Item. Requires Strength 800.

Item Attribute: Attack 307-327, 30% piercing damage, 30% chance of 3x critical hit damage, attached with 100 points of fire damage, five-layered force shot.

Weight: 56 pounds.

User Restriction: Thief, Knight, Warrior.

He didn't expect it to be a sub-legendary item. The attributes were indeed amazing, causing Nie Yan to exclaim. However, the weight of 56 pounds and the requirement of 800 strength were really a bit daunting. He estimated that he would have to reach at least level sixty or seventy to be able to use it.

Could he make this sub-legendary mounted crossbow by collecting 10 incomplete drawings?

Nie Yan looked at the materials for making the mounted crossbow: Superior Magic Camphorwood 10, Superior Fire Mother Crystal 3, Magic Black Pattern Gold 3, Magic Rune Stone 3, Essence of Fire Spirit 1.

Seeing these materials, Nie Yan was speechless. Superior Magic Camphorwood and Superior Fire Mother Crystal were slightly easier to find, but they were expensive and were relatively rare materials. As for Magic Black Pattern Gold and Magic Rune Stone, anything imbued with magic was extremely rare. As for the Essence of Fire Spirit, it was a legendary item. Nie Yan had never seen what it looked like in his previous life.

Even if he found the materials to make this Headless Knight Doro's Mounted Crossbow, Nie Yan would not be able to wear it for the time being, so he could only give up for now. However, he could collect the drawings first and then find a way to make this mounted crossbow in the future.
