Chapter 136 Black Hell

Nie Yan thought for a moment. In his past life, he had never heard of anyone called Black Hell, so he didn't know much about their strength.

The Chapter of Justice was an item for Priests. It was said that obtaining it could greatly increase a Priest's healing ability, and it also had a curse bonus effect for Shadow Priests. It dropped in the Level 25 map, the Murky Mire.

The Murky Mire was populated by Sludge Slimes, which emanated a stench. Players entering the Murky Mire region would continuously lose health unless they had a Priest's Blessing spell to immunize them against the toxic gas. Although antidote potions were effective, their duration was limited. Therefore, when leveling up there, a party of five would need at least two Priests to enter. Paladins could barely manage, and other classes had no chance.

The Chapter of Justice was rumored to be located in the very center of the Murky Mire, where the toxic gas was densest. Nie Yan didn't know the exact situation there.

That kind of place wasn't suitable for teams unless a team could equip half of its members as Priests. But if half were Priests, who would provide the damage?

Even if going as a team, it couldn't exceed five people and needed at least two Priests, and the requirements for each person would be very high.

In the end, only three classes could possibly obtain the Chapter of Justice: Holy Priests, Shadow Priests, and Paladins. The Chapter of Justice had little effect on Paladins; the Chapter of Justice was more suitable for them. So, the possibility of Black Hell being a Paladin was smaller; it was more likely that they were a Holy Priest or a Shadow Priest.

The scope narrowed significantly. Nie Yan tried hard to recall the skills of the Chapter of Justice, so he could prepare if it carried powerful skills.

The first skill of the Chapter of Justice was a group heal, instantly restoring a certain amount of health to party members. This skill was obviously very good during team battles. The second skill seemed to be state magic amplification. Once holding the Chapter of Justice, any blessings would become more potent, and any curse skills would become extremely terrifying.

Therefore, the Chapter of Justice was known as the judgment of light and darkness.

For Priests, the Chapter of Justice was truly a top-grade item.

In Nie Yan's memory, the person who possessed the Chapter of Justice in his past life was a Priest named Black Heaven, one of the Seven Great Priests! It was said that he was later recruited by the Kalan Temple and became the Chief Priest of the Kalan Temple.

Black Heaven, Black Hell. These two names easily evoked some associations. Were these two people together?

It seemed the opponent wasn't alone, so this matter wasn't so simple. As a powerful Priest, it was easy to gather a group of people. Generally, Priests who did well often had many friends when they first entered the game.

Nie Yan rubbed his head. The reason he hadn't gone to retrieve the Chapter of Justice was that he couldn't even enter the Murky Mire. He hadn't been there in his past life and didn't know the situation there. Even if he went, he would have to bring a top-tier Priest like Daidou Dage Qi Zai. But this was undoubtedly risky; who knew what could happen to a Priest in a Level 25 map.

Holy Priests were extremely scarce talents. In the siege wars of later generations, a Holy Priest was a massive war supply machine. A single spell could increase the attributes of a group of people by several levels, and a single group heal could restore the health of a group of players with low health. Especially after learning Holy Resurrection, Holy Resurrection could resurrect a player without any loss!

Although ordinary Resurrection could resurrect players, it couldn't fully resurrect them without any damage. Some would lose some experience, and others would remain in a weakened state for a long time after being resurrected. Holy Resurrection, on the other hand, could restore a player to their full combat power. Of course, Holy Resurrection also had limitations; the skill cooldown time was two to three days, and the fastest was about one day.

According to the timeline, Black Heaven shouldn't have joined the Kalan Temple yet. It seemed he was in the Dark Ranger Guild. If he could pull Black Heaven over, it would be very beneficial to the future development of the Niu Ren Tribe. However, the appearance of the Chapter of Order forced the two sides to stand on opposite sides.

Nie Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A Holy Priest, what a pity.

Who would the Seven Great Priests of the previous life end up with? Daidou Dage Qi Zai had already been recruited by Nie Yan. Would Black Heaven still join the Kalan Temple? As for the others, it was said that there was another Holy Priest, Guo Huai, who was already in negotiations, but it was unknown whether they would come to an agreement.

In the previous life, one of the seven Holy Priests entered Kalan, one was in Zhan Dao Shi Xue, three were in big studios like Bi Luo Cang Qiong, and the remaining two were free agents.

Even Kaiser and the Holy Roman Empire couldn't possess a Holy Priest, which was a pity. Of course, they had many Grand Priests.

If the Niu Ren Tribe had one in the future, it would be of great significance to the Niu Ren Tribe. If there were two... it was hard to imagine.

In any case, as for Black Heaven and that Black Hell, if it was possible to avoid offending them, try to avoid it as much as possible. If it was possible to exchange items or buy the Chapter of Justice, that would be the best.

Nie Yan sent a message to Black Hell.

System: This player has blocked messages from outside the team.

Ordinary players usually blocked messages or set up a blacklist during specific times or when someone was harassing them, so they wouldn't receive messages from others.

Black Hell had blocked the message. It seemed Nie Yan's idea of talking to the other party had failed.

If they had to resort to violence in the end, there was nothing they could do.

Next to the Link Town Teleportation Array, this was still the most bustling and prosperous town in Calore, and because there were some relatively high-level maps nearby, many lifestyle profession players opened shops here.

The land here wasn't as expensive as in Calore, and it only cost a dozen silver coins to buy. Opening a shop also didn't require too much money. A few people could pool their money together. The influx of many player shops made this town more prosperous than ever before.

Players flowed endlessly on the street. As two Priests, Black Heaven and Black Hell were often asked to join parties when they walked on the street, but they refused decisively.

Black Heaven was a Holy Priest who looked a bit young and naive, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a snow-white Priest robe with a golden eagle embroidered on the collar. This was the symbol of the Temple of Light. Having this symbol proved that he had at least learned one holy magic spell from the Priest class. Such Priests were extremely sought after by various guilds.

As for Black Hell next to him, he was a young man in his late twenties, wearing a gray robe with a dark golden thread embroidered with a snake symbol on his sleeves, clearly indicating his identity as a Shadow Priest!

Shadow Priests were one of the least numerous classes in the entire Greenland Empire. They were proficient in curses and control, and they also knew how to heal. However, Shadow Priests' healing was obviously not as effective as Holy Priests. In terms of damage output, although it was not bad, it was ultimately inferior to mages. Of course, good Shadow Priests were very strong, but this class required too much skill. They had to be proficient in curses, control, healing, and also be responsible for damage output. If there weren't dozens of skills on the skill bar and they weren't used proficiently, it would be basically difficult to compete with other classes. Black Hell had chosen such a rare class.

"Brother, who do you think that Nie Yan is? He actually obtained three chapters of the Chapter of Order alone," Black Heaven asked Black Hell. They were leveling up in the Murky Mire and accidentally entered the central area. They couldn't use the return scroll inside, and they barely managed to obtain the Chapter of Justice after going through countless hardships. He was instantly killed and returned, while Black Hell was lucky enough to escape because of a bottle of Ethereal Potion he had obtained in the expert-level dungeon.

And that Nie Yan actually had three chapters of the Chapter of Order!

After Black Hell obtained the Chapter of Justice, he suddenly discovered that three of the chapters of the Chapter of Order were on a thief named Nie Yan. It had to be said that this was a great temptation. If they killed Nie Yan, they could obtain the other three chapters of the Chapter of Order at the same time!

"He seems to be from the Niu Ren Tribe, and he's quite famous. He must know our location," Black Hell frowned. Although the Dark Ranger Guild he was in could be considered an old guild, it had declined. Even when he formed a team, he had to find partners outside the guild. How could such a guild compete with the newly rising Niu Ren Tribe? Whether they could protect the Chapter of Order was still a question. If it was just a one-on-one fight, he would definitely not be afraid of anyone, but if the Niu Ren Tribe sent a team of thieves to盯梢him and forcibly rob the Chapter of Justice in his hand, he really wouldn't have any good way to deal with it.

"If it's the guild leader, it'll be a bit difficult to deal with," Black Heaven said worriedly. If Nie Yan had a group of thieves staring at them every day, they definitely wouldn't be able to handle it. In the face of the power of the guild, they were in a position of absolute weakness. "I heard that the Niu Ren Tribe is fighting against the Kaiser Empire?"

"So what? Do we need to seek the protection of the Kaiser Empire?" Black Hell raised his eyebrows. Although several guilds had sent invitations to them, he had never thought of leaving the Dark Ranger Guild.

Seeing Black Hell's sharp gaze sweeping over, Black Heaven quickly lowered his head.

"We must not let anyone know about our possession of the Chapter of Justice. The only way is to find him, kill him, and obtain the three chapters of the Chapter of Order on him. That way, they won't know our location. At worst, we'll pool together two gold coins, teleport to another city, and make plans," Black Hell said. If they could intercept Nie Yan in the wild, he had absolute confidence in killing Nie Yan if it was just a one-on-one fight.

"But he's in the Monastery of Light," Black Heaven said. That was a Level 30 area, and it was likely that only the big teams in the guild could enter.

"We'll wait for him to come out," Black Hell said. They could only patiently wait for an opportunity. During this period, they shouldn't stay in one place for too long, or they would be caught by the Niu Ren Tribe.
