Chapter 1 In the Eternal City

In the Eternal City, the most coveted items were the Molag Melted Snow Winter short swords dropped by the five lords. These were sub-legendary items with explosive attack power, even surpassing some sub-legendary two-handed greatswords, making them favorites of thieves and shield warriors.

There were only three Melted Snow Winters, each with different attributes. Once all three were dropped, they wouldn't appear again.

As for the other item, it was the remaining legendary fragment-grade Solag Obsidian Leather Armor, even rarer than the Melted Snow Winter.

Because it was unique!

Since it was just a legendary fragment, the armor's attributes were naturally far inferior to sub-legendary equipment. Only by collecting all the fragments could its powerful attributes be restored.

However, in his previous life, a long time passed before players dropped the Solag Obsidian Leather Armor, and gradually they forgot about this legendary fragment.

He never expected to get the Solag Obsidian Leather Armor on his first run.

Everyone shared the Solag Obsidian Leather Armor's stats in the guild chat.

Solag Obsidian Leather Armor (Fragment): Requires Agility 290, Strength 360.

Item Description: Requires Strength 130.

Item Description: The Solag Obsidian Leather Armor is broken and needs to be repaired, but it still possesses powerful magic. Solag Obsidian: Solag Obsidian Leather Armor, Solag Obsidian Fine Feather Thread, Solag Obsidian Magic Pattern Cloth. You need to find the remaining fragments to restore its original appearance.

Attributes: Defense 370-386, Agility +20, Speed +20, Jump +10, Stealth +10, Concealment +10, Reflex +10. Comes with level 3 Obsidian Shield, level 3 Obsidian Shield effect, resists 30% of damage taken, Durability 1200. Duration 3 minutes, skill cooldown 1 hour.

Restriction: Usable by thieves of all factions.

The high defense made it undeniable that this Solag Obsidian Leather Armor was powerful. The attached Obsidian Shield was also excellent, better than some level 50 dark gold leather armor.

However, the strength requirement made the thieves flinch. Only a freak like Nie Yan could wear leather armor with such high requirements.

"Does anyone want this leather armor?" Nie Yan asked in the guild chat.

The thief members shook their heads and sighed. How could they wear it with such high requirements!

Nie Yan looked at Yi Chui Ding Qing beside him and asked, "Do you need it?"

Yi Chui Ding Qing was one of the guild's future main thieves. These members were the backbone of the Mad Rogue Tribe. If they wanted equipment, Nie Yan, as the guild leader, would naturally prioritize satisfying them. Anyway, Nie Yan could get even better equipment.

Yi Chui Ding Qing shook her head and said, "I'm training an Agility Thief, and my strength is only 80, all from equipment bonuses. I can't wear it at all."

Only 80 strength now, Yi Chui Ding Qing was training a full Agility Thief!

When a thief's agility reached over 500, a portion of the agility would be added to their attack. After the agility reached 1000, the bonus would double. Many thieves liked to train Agility Thieves, but few trained full Agility Thieves. Full Agility Thieves had high movement speed and attack speed, but their attack power couldn't keep up. Many people gave up halfway and had to add some strength.

If Yi Chui Ding Qing's level and equipment could keep up, and her agility rose to 500, she would have some achievements. If her agility reached over 1000, she would finally make it.

Several main members were deterred by the requirements of the Solag Obsidian Leather Armor. Only Nie Yan exceeded the requirements by a lot and could wear the Solag Obsidian Leather Armor now.

"Then I'll take it," Nie Yan said. When he was done using it, he would replace it and throw it into the guild warehouse. By then, the stats of the players would be about right.

Nie Yan replaced his armor with the Solag Obsidian Leather Armor and looked at his own stats, which had increased a lot. The Solag Obsidian Leather Armor emitted a pure black luster, like a black gem, mysterious and bizarre.

Looking at the other two pieces of equipment, both were good dark gold items, taken by two members with about 20,000 contribution points each.

Calculating the value of the Solag Obsidian Leather Armor, Nie Yan distributed more than 500 guild contribution points to each member, which made them very happy.

Nie Yan was not stingy when distributing guild contribution points, making people trust him.

In addition, the players' experience points also increased a lot. Each of them gained at least 80% of their current level's experience, so many of them leveled up. It was a fruitful harvest.

In addition to the three pieces of equipment, Nie Yan collected the fifth energy key fragment.

The five energy keys were placed in the backpack and merged together, emitting a dazzling light, slowly merging together to become a white energy key.

Eternal City Energy Key: Special item.

"Boss, what's this thing for?"

"The official website says it can open the Eternal Gate. What is the Eternal Gate?"

Nie Yan didn't explain and said, "Let's go ahead and take a look."

Nie Yan walked towards the central square of the Eternal City. The towering obelisk emitted a faint white light, standing majestically. It was covered with murals related to the goblin race, telling the story of the goblin race's rise and fall, until only this city remained, standing here, existing eternally in the long history. Thus, it was called the Eternal City.

The others followed behind Nie Yan and looked down. The bricks on the square floor were broken, like turtle shell patterns, spreading out in a strange way.

Passing through the ancient square, everyone arrived at the foot of the obelisk.

At the foot of the obelisk was an ancient iron gate. The thick iron gate was corroded and covered with mottled marks, like blossoming patterns, spread across the iron gate. Even the strongest force could not push this iron gate open.

In the center of the iron gate was a keyhole. The precise metal devices around the keyhole were interlocked, giving people a dazzling feeling.

Nie Yan took out the energy key.

"This is the Eternal Gate?"

"It doesn't look like much. It is said that opening the Eternal Gate can get the energy core of the Eternal City."

"What is the energy core used for?"

"Who knows? It seems to be related to the guild fortress."

The members discussed.

Nie Yan turned to the members and said, "You guys stay outside first. I'll be out in a moment."

There were no monsters in the Eternal Gate, so Nie Yan could enter with peace of mind. He took out the energy key from his backpack and slowly inserted it. He saw powerful energy streams shooting out from the keyhole, scattering in all directions and disappearing into the air.

The key was fully inserted, and a dazzling light flowed on the iron gate. The corroded iron gate instantly became smooth and new, emitting a dazzling light.

Nie Yan slowly pushed the door open and entered. He saw a dark space inside.

"Run quickly if there's a problem," Brilliant Blade Light said. He was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, there's no problem," Nie Yan said. There were no monsters inside at all, so there was nothing to worry about.

The surroundings were empty and silent. Nie Yan walked towards the dark space. He saw darkness all around. This was an endless space. In the middle stood a stone platform one yard high, with a metal basin on it. Drops of light green water dripped from above into the basin.

The entire basin was filled with green liquid.

Nie Yan looked into the basin and saw an oval-shaped energy stone, the size of a goose egg, completely green, at the bottom of the basin.

This was the energy core he was looking for!

With this energy core, and a few NPC enchanters, he could build a barrier for the fortress that could defend against high-level magic within level five, which would be enough before level 150. In his previous life, only two magic导师 (Magic Instructors) had learned level six high-level magic when Nie Yan went to assassinate Cao Xu.

The role of the barrier was great. It could prevent outside mages from bombarding the fortress with magic, while the mages inside could attack the outside. However, players could freely enter and exit the barrier.

The energy core was invaluable just for its ability to resist magic.

Nie Yan reached into the basin and scooped out the energy core. The moment Nie Yan scooped out the energy core, the green water in the basin instantly became crystal clear, as if something in the water had been drained by the energy core.

Nie Yan looked at the attributes of the energy core.

Elementary Energy Core: Can generate 1 trillion Lun of energy per day, with a maximum accumulation of 50 trillion Lun.

Lun was a goblin energy unit, representing a certain energy intensity. The energy released by a level one high-level magic was about 0.1 trillion Lun. Therefore, if a fortress established an energy barrier and accumulated energy to the maximum value, it would take at least five hundred level one high-level magic spells to break it!

It would take at least another ten natural days to generate a second elementary energy core. He would let the members come here to pick it up in ten days, Nie Yan thought. He would not come a second time.

Nie Yan took the elementary energy core and came out. Brilliant Blade Light and others greeted him.

"How is it? Did you get it?" Brilliant Blade Light asked. They had searched the official website for the role of the energy core, so they knew the importance of the energy core.

"Got it," Nie Yan nodded. This trip to the Eternal City was really worth it.

"What do we do next?" Brilliant Blade Light asked.

"Let them go back first. Let's go outside the Eternal City to grind levels for a while," Nie Yan said. It was not cost-effective to grind monsters and level up with so many people outside the Eternal City.

At this moment, Nie Yan's voice channel rang. It was Guo Huai.

"Nie Yan, I heard that there are level 40 golden earth dragons in the Sin Domain Canyon east of Carol City. Someone checked the official website and said that the golden earth dragons drop Earth Dragon Horns, which can summon golden earth dragons. The Triumph Empire, Holy Light Flame, Holy Roman Empire, and the Temple of Galan have all been dispatched. Do we want to go?" Guo Huai asked.

A golden earth dragon was a rare, super-grade summoning creature!

"Go, why wouldn't we go? Our Mad Rogue Tribe will join in the fun too!"
