“It’s nothing. I used the Dragon language to communicate with them just now, and they mistook me for one of their own. The dark elves were slaves of the Dragon race in the ancient dark ages, and even now, they still consider themselves servants of the Dragon race, so they were so respectful. I dug up a side quest from them. I just need to return to the city and turn in the quest,” Nie Yan said.

“Dragon language? Where did you learn that?” Yao Yao asked. Nie Yan had so many secrets; he always brought surprises.

“Yeah, I heard that Dragon race creatures are very rare,” Tang Yao said in confusion. Nie Yan was really becoming more and more awesome; he even knew the Dragon language.

However, Dusk’s eyes lit up. He thought of something. Nie Yan had learned the Dragon language. Could it be related to the Dragon race creature in Link Town before?

Nie Yan also realized he had let something slip. He looked at Dusk. Judging from Dusk’s expression, he must have understood something.

“That day, I accidentally entered a valley and saw a book. I flipped through it and found that it was a book in chronological order, writing about some historical events. For some reason, I learned the Dragon language, the Ancient Common Tongue, and the Koshat Giant language. Later, I was chased by Dragon race creatures but luckily escaped,” Nie Yan said casually.

Nie Yan’s words were actually for Dusk’s ears. He would never reveal the Chapter of Courage.

Dusk looked enlightened. After all, it involved Nie Yan’s secret, so he didn’t ask too closely.

“Actually, these languages are not that difficult to learn. When your levels are high enough, you can go to the library and learn the Ancient Common Tongue for one gold coin, or go to the Giant race’s library and learn the Koshat Giant language for three gold coins.”

“How do you know that?” Dusk and the others asked in surprise.

“If you go to the library and browse through the books there, you’ll have a better understanding of the entire Atlantean Continent. There are also books related to various professions. If you finish reading them, I guarantee you’ll immediately become experts.”

“Who goes to the library? There are so many books in the library. Just pulling one out would have millions of words. To read about the profession descriptions and world history in the library would take at least a month. Who has that kind of leisure time?”

“Yeah, who reads those thick books?”

In his previous life, Nie Yan often suffered setbacks when playing as a Thief, so he became fond of reading. It must be said that the history and stories of the Atlantean Continent were quite interesting, with a strong narrative. He spent more than a month there, reading everything from the historical origins of Thieves to the biographies and skill specialties of legendary Thieves, memorizing everything. He gained a lot of insights. After coming out of the library, he had a clear understanding of Thieves. Coupled with years of experience, Nie Yan’s professional ranking rose to the top fifty, and he was considered to have some fame.

“I’ve only read some of them. Those biographies are quite well-written,” Nie Yan said with a smile.

Nie Yan even had the leisure to go to the library to read. They had desperately leveled up to their current levels since the server opened, but Nie Yan had easily surpassed them. They felt a little unbalanced in their hearts.

The team members, apart from sighing, didn’t delve into these issues too deeply.

“I wonder how much reward we can get for turning in this quest,” Bai Kaishui said. What they cared about most was the reward.

“What was that flute just now?”

“The Flute of Ianpat, it’s a quest item. You have to return it to the NPC before leaving the dungeon.” Nie Yan shared the attributes. Everyone gasped. The attributes of this quest item were so awesome. If such equipment were taken outside, it would definitely drive all the players crazy.

Nie Yan had the Chapter of Courage, so he didn’t care much about the Flute of Ianpat.

“What a pity, why do we have to return it to the NPC?”

The team members were indignant.

Nie Yan opened the trading bar and traded the Flute of Ianpat to Bai Kaishui. This thing must be given to the main MT in the team to be effective.

“Damn, more than 700 health. This time, even if we encounter the Treant King, what’s there to be afraid of?” After seeing his own attributes, Bai Kaishui’s confidence immediately swelled.

“Don’t underestimate the Treant King in the Expert-level dungeon. That guy is very difficult to deal with. Don’t laugh later if you can’t. Now the priests don’t have Resurrection yet. I also know a place where Minor Heal is dropped. If two priests learn Minor Heal, it will be much easier,” Nie Yan poured a bucket of cold water on Bai Kaishui.

“No way, is the Treant King in the Expert difficulty level that difficult to deal with?”

After all, he had never seen the Treant King in the Expert difficulty level. Hearing Nie Yan say this, Bai Kaishui restrained himself a bit.

Since entering the Expert-level dungeon, the team’s gains had exceeded everyone’s expectations. Even without counting those taken away by Nie Yan, the Bronze equipment and skill books they had obtained had far exceeded their imagination. If Nie Yan could always lead the team, that would be great, but the team members were just thinking about it. After all, Nie Yan wasn’t their teammate. They remembered what Nie Yan said just now, that this was the last time they would cooperate, and Nie Yan would never team up with them again in the future. They were all a little indignant, complaining that Chen Bo had offended Nie Yan. Originally, when Nie Yan drove Chen Bo away, they were always a little upset, after all, Chen Bo was their teammate, and Nie Yan was too domineering. But now, their psychology had undergone some subtle changes.

Bai Kaishui, who obtained the Flute of Ianpat, became a real tank. With the priests healing from behind, he could withstand five Treants at the same time. He was truly brave and invincible. Clearing monsters along the way was much easier.

The equipment they gained became more and more numerous. Along the way, they obtained a Minor Heal skill book and two Silver equipment. One of them was a Thief’s bracer with +3 Strength and +2 Perception, which went to Nie Yan. The other was a shield warrior’s small round shield with +15% defense rate and +5 Constitution. At that time, the eyes of all the team members were straightened. This was the first time they had seen such a high-quality round shield.

Round shields and tower shields were different from other shields. Their defense was slightly lower than other shields, but they were light and had the least impact on the shield warrior’s actions. High-defense small round shields were very expensive and popular items.

“Damn, the round shield we blasted out in the Blackflame Forest isn’t as good as this round shield.” Dusk stared straight ahead. What was the drop rate? Equipment was dropped one after another along the way. The previous Bronze equipment didn’t count, but now they had unexpectedly dropped such a good Silver round shield. “If you’re willing to sell it, our guild leader will definitely be willing to pay more than ten silver coins.”

Everyone understood what a good round shield meant to a shield warrior. If a shield warrior could withstand the Boss’s attack, it meant that the entire team could survive. Therefore, high-defense equipment for shield warriors was all sky-high prices in the market, and the auction prices repeatedly broke records, but they were still the goal of major teams.

“We won’t sell this shield!” Yu Lan took a deep breath. With this shield, it meant that even without Nie Yan, they could go to some higher-level dungeons. Not to mention ten silver coins, even twenty silver coins or more, she wouldn’t sell it.
