Chapter 1聂言 The Beginning

Nie Yan only knew that in his previous life, someone had collected arcane-charged crystals in the Eternal City and resurrected an arcane sprite. The Eternal City was a level 40 grinding spot! The mechanical puppets that spawned there were mechanical units with high defense, extremely difficult to deal with. Although Tesoy Town had area-of-effect magic bombs for sale, such expensive items were beyond the reach of ordinary players. Nie Yan was also reluctant to use them.

"Nie Yan, tell me how to resurrect an arcane sprite! I must resurrect it!" Tang Yao was a little emotional, never expecting a glimmer of hope to appear in his despair.

"Not yet. Resurrecting an arcane sprite requires finding arcane-charged crystals in the Eternal City. The monsters there are all level 40; we're not high enough level to go."

"A level 40 map?" Tang Yao was stunned. "How did you know that?"

"The library and the official website. Search for how to resurrect an arcane sprite on the official website, and you'll find the answer." Nie Yan couldn't exactly say he was a reborn person, so he blamed it all on the library and the official website. Faith was very humane. Players who spent day and night with their pets were likely to develop some affection, so there were often ways to resurrect pets after they died. However, these methods were usually more difficult and harder to obtain than the pets themselves, and only a few players with the heart would do such a thankless task. Even if they couldn't find it, it gave the players a glimmer of hope, and if they couldn't find it after a long time, the players' mood would calm down.

Tang Yao used the search engine on the official website and found that there were three ways to resurrect an arcane sprite. First, arcane-charged crystals. These were very rare crystals widely used in the creation of arcane puppets, only appearing in maps above level 30, and extremely rare, with only one or two pieces in certain specific maps. Second, resurrection stones. These could resurrect any pet, including arcane sprites, but only appeared in maps above level 60. Since they were very rare, the value of a resurrection stone itself was much greater than that of an arcane sprite. It would be worth it to resurrect a level 5 arcane sprite with a resurrection stone, but it would be too much of a loss to resurrect a level 3 arcane sprite. A resurrection stone could be exchanged for three level 3 arcane sprites. Third, the Stone of Divine Wish, which was even more expensive and rarer.

Of course, this was only in the Greenland Empire. Other places, such as the Springs of Life in the Elven Holy Land of the Saturn Empire, or certain magical destiny items in the Undead Empire, also had the function of resurrecting pets and sprites.

Although there were so many ways to resurrect arcane sprites, among all of them, only the arcane-charged crystals that Nie Yan mentioned were the most reliable, at least knowing where the arcane-charged crystals were.

"When we level up, I'll help you resurrect your arcane sprite!" Nie Yan patted Tang Yao on the shoulder.

Tang Yao nodded gratefully.

At this moment, Guo Huai walked over. Of the group of people who came with them, only he and three other players had survived.

"You guys didn't die, that's great." Guo Huai was overjoyed. It didn't matter how many people died, as long as Nie Yan and Tang Yao survived, especially Tang Yao. If he died, it would be too big of a blow to the newly formed Niu Ren Tribe.

"We were lucky. Fortunately, the people from the Holy Roman Empire saved us," Nie Yan said with a smile.

"You're acquainted with people from the Holy Roman Empire?" Guo Huai glanced at the Holy Roman Empire team opposite him. The Holy Roman Empire players had excellent equipment, most of which were sets, looking very organized. The atmosphere was solemn, giving a strong visual impact. As expected of a top five guild in Greenland. He remembered the ragtag group he had brought and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"A little bit. They saved us this time, we owe them a favor." Nie Yan nodded, seeing Guo Huai looking a little dejected, he comforted him, "Our guild is just starting out, it's not comparable to these guilds that have been famous for a long time, but in the future our guild will definitely surpass them, surpass Triumph, and become the leading guild in Greenland."

"Yeah." Guo Huai nodded seriously. He also had great ambitions in his heart. Although the Niu Ren Tribe had just been established, its reputation had already been established, and the starting point was already considered very fast.

"I'm going to talk to the president of the Holy Roman Empire," Nie Yan said to Guo Huai, Tang Yao, and the others.

Nie Yan walked towards Half-Awake Fox and greeted him, "Thank you this time, otherwise my brother and I would have died here."

"Just a small effort," Half-Awake Fox said with a relaxed smile.

Although Half-Awake Fox looked relaxed on the surface, he was worried in his heart. How to handle the relationship between the Holy Roman Empire and Triumph had become an urgent matter. If the Holy Roman Empire and Triumph completely broke down, the consequences would be unimaginable. If Triumph were to deal with them regardless of the consequences, it would be a disaster for both guilds. However, Half-Awake Fox had his own considerations for helping Nie Yan.

First, although the Triumph Empire and the Holy Roman Empire were no longer on good terms, Triumph Empire's guild leader, Po Tian, shouldn't push the Holy Roman Empire and Triumph to extreme opposition, which would not be good for either side. Second, there was likely a mysterious force behind Nie Yan, plus Starry Night Pharmacy, which made him worth wooing! Third, whether analyzed from the aspects of dungeons, levels, or personal strength, Nie Yan was definitely a rising star.

If it weren't for the second and third points, Half-Awake Fox would never have risked falling out with Triumph Guild to save Nie Yan.

After a little thought, Nie Yan understood, everyone was smart, so he didn't say anything. Regardless of the intention, Half-Awake Fox saved him, there was no doubt about that. Nie Yan owed him a favor.

There were no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Nie Yan and Half-Awake Fox already had a good foundation for cooperation, and cooperating with Half-Awake Fox would be very beneficial to Nie Yan and the newly formed Niu Ren Tribe.

Guo Huai, Tang Yao and others were quite surprised to see Nie Yan still talking and laughing freely in front of Half-Awake Fox. That person was the president of the Holy Roman Empire, a person whose stomping would cause a major earthquake in Carol City and even the entire Greenland! Was this still the Nie Yan they knew? Guo Huai, Tang Yao and others felt that the current Nie Yan had a feeling that was hard to see through.

"What are you going to do about your red names?" He couldn't help but take a few more glances at Tang Yao in the distance. Tang Yao ranked first on the level leaderboard, and he had just killed so many Triumph elite players. How could such a person not attract his attention?

The Holy Roman Empire players behind looked at Tang Yao and whispered.

"Look at his red name, it's almost black, how many people do you think he killed just now?"

"Hard to say, at least twenty or thirty."

"Probably more than that."

In the eyes of these people, Tang Yao was equated with a god and a legend. But what they didn't know was that Tang Yao was just a wretched, somewhat lecherous, and very lazy fatty.

"Of course, we're going to grind monsters to clear our red names. But it should take a long time to clear the red names," Nie Yan said.

"Be careful when grinding monsters, the Triumph people might go and block you."

"Don't worry, we'll pay attention."

Nie Yan and the others wouldn't be grinding monsters in low-level maps, so they didn't have to worry about being caught by the Triumph people.

"That's good."

"You should think about how to deal with your relationship with Triumph, it might trigger a large-scale war between the two guilds."

"I'm not worried about that. Although Po Tian is domineering, he's still rational. Although their Triumph is powerful, they can't do anything to our Holy Roman Empire," Half-Awake Fox said, his confidence stemming from the strong strength of the Holy Roman Empire. Half-Awake Fox hesitated for a moment and said, "I have something I need your help with."

"Speak."

"I want to order a batch of advanced potions from Starry Night Pharmacy," Half-Awake Fox said. What he felt most awkward about was that although their Holy Roman Empire could be considered a big guild, they actually didn't have many pharmacists, because pharmacists were too difficult to cultivate, and many pharmacists were unwilling to sign a contract of indenture with the guild, because the guild's pharmacists were no different from full-time babysitters. The Holy Roman Empire was facing a dilemma. Buying things at auction houses was generally too expensive. Starry Night Pharmacy occupied more than half of the Carol City potion market, so even a big guild like them could only rely on others.

Nie Yan was in a good mood. Bird's tactics were still extremely effective. Nie Yan had him waving a lot of gold coins, poaching people from various guilds and shops. Basically, all the pharmacists in his memory who could be named had been poached by him. Among the ten most famous pharmacists in the entire Greenland Empire, eight had joined Starry Night Pharmacy, and the other two were in Triumph and Holy Light Flame. Those two pharmacists were too loyal and couldn't be poached no matter what. Two people in Starry Night Pharmacy had already advanced to Intermediate Pharmacists, and the number of Novice Pharmacists had exceeded one hundred and sixty, and there were more than five hundred pharmacist apprentices, making a lot of money every day.

Most of the potions consumed by the Holy Roman Empire every day came from Starry Night Pharmacy, and only a small part was produced by themselves. Although they were focusing on cultivating a batch of pharmacists, cultivating pharmacists was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and many pharmacists had no talent, often consuming a lot of herbs but not achieving the desired results.

"I need a batch of Dispel Charm Potions, which can only be made by Intermediate Pharmacists. I heard that Starry Night Pharmacy already has two Intermediate Pharmacists," Half-Awake Fox said.

"Dispel Charm Potions, is the Holy Roman Empire preparing to clear the Succubus Lair?" Nie Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. The Holy Roman Empire's ambition was not small.
