Chapter 1 Someone

Nie Yan only knew that in his previous life, someone had collected arcane charging crystals in the Eternal City and resurrected the Arcane Sprite. The Eternal City was a level 40 grinding spot! The Mechanical Automata that spawned there were mechanical units with high defense, extremely difficult to deal with. Although Tesoer Town had area-of-effect magic bombs for sale, such expensive items were not something ordinary players could afford. Nie Yan was also reluctant to use them.

"Nie Yan, tell me how to resurrect the Arcane Sprite, I must resurrect it!" Tang Yao was a little agitated, he didn't expect that a glimmer of hope would emerge from despair.

"Not yet. Resurrecting the Arcane Sprite requires finding an arcane charging crystal in the Eternal City. The monsters there are all level 40, we are not high enough level to go."

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

"The library and the official website. Search the official website for how to resurrect an Arcane Sprite, and you will find the answer." Nie Yan couldn't possibly say that he was a reborn person, so he attributed the reason to the library and the official website. Faith was very humanized. Players spent day and night with their pets and might develop some feelings. Therefore, after a pet died, there were usually ways to resurrect it. However, these resurrection methods were often more difficult to obtain than the pet itself, and only a few dedicated players would do such a thankless thing. Even if they couldn't find it, it gave players a glimmer of hope. If they couldn't find it, players' mood would calm down over time.

Tang Yao used the search engine on the official website and found that there were three ways to resurrect an Arcane Sprite. First, arcane charging crystals. These were very rare crystals, widely used in the creation of arcane automatons. They only appeared in maps above level 30, and were extremely rare, with only one or two pieces in certain specific maps. Second, resurrection stones. Resurrection stones could resurrect any pet, including Arcane Sprites, but only dropped in maps above level 60. Because they were very rare, the value of a resurrection stone itself was far greater than an Arcane Sprite. It would be cost-effective to use a resurrection stone to resurrect a level 5 Arcane Sprite, but it would be too wasteful to use it to resurrect a level 3 Arcane Sprite. A resurrection stone could be exchanged for three level 3 Arcane Sprites. Third, a God's Wish Stone, which was even more expensive and even rarer.

Of course, this was only in the Greenland Empire. Other places, such as the Spring of Life in the elven holy land of the Saturn Empire, or certain magical items of fate in the undead empire, all had the function of resurrecting pets and sprites.

Although there were so many ways to resurrect an Arcane Sprite, among all the methods, only the arcane charging crystal mentioned by Nie Yan was the most reliable, at least he knew where to find it.

"When we level up, I will help you resurrect the Arcane Sprite!" Nie Yan patted Tang Yao's shoulder.

Tang Yao nodded gratefully.

At this moment, Guo Huai walked over. Among 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 had died, it would have been a huge blow to the newly formed Niu Ren (Amazing People) Tribe.

"We were lucky. Fortunately, the people from the Holy Roman Empire saved us." Nie Yan smiled.

"You have connections with the people from the Holy Roman Empire?" Guo Huai glanced at the Holy Roman Empire's team opposite. The players from the Holy Roman Empire had excellent equipment, mostly in sets, looking very neat, and the atmosphere was solemn, giving a strong visual impact. The top five guilds in Greenland were indeed different. He thought of the ragtag group he had brought earlier, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"I have some connections. They saved us this time, I owe them a favor." Nie Yan nodded, seeing Guo Huai's somewhat disappointed look, he comforted him, "Our guild has just started, and it's not comparable to these established guilds. 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. Although the Niu Ren Tribe had just been established, its reputation had already been established, and its start was already very fast.

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

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

"It was just a small effort." Half-Awake Fox smiled easily.

Although Half-Awake Fox looked relaxed on the surface, he was worried in his heart. How to deal with the relationship between the Holy Roman Empire and Triumph had become the top priority. If the Holy Roman Empire and Triumph completely broke up, the consequences would be unimaginable. If Triumph dealt with them recklessly, 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 would be at odds from now on, the president of the Triumph Empire, Po Tian, should not 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 the Starry Night Pharmacy, which was worth winning over! Third, whether analyzed from dungeons, levels, or personal strength, Nie Yan was definitely a stock with potential.

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

After thinking for a while, Nie Yan understood. Everyone was smart, and he didn't expose it. Regardless of his intentions, Half-Awake Fox saved him, which was undeniable. Nie Yan owed him a favor.

There were no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Nie Yan and Half-Awake Fox already had a good foundation for cooperation, and cooperating with Half-Awake Fox was 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 figure who could 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 an inscrutable feeling.

"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 was ranked first on the level list, and he had just killed so many elite players from Triumph. How could such a character not attract his attention?

The Holy Roman Empire players in the rear 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?"

"It's hard to say, at least twenty or thirty."

"Probably more than that."

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

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

"Be careful when grinding monsters, the people from Triumph might still be waiting to ambush you."

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

Nie Yan and the others would not grind monsters in low-level maps at all, so they didn't have to worry about being caught by the people from Triumph.

"That's good."

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

"I'm not worried about that. Although Po Tian is domineering, he is still rational. Although Triumph is powerful, they can't do anything to our Holy Roman Empire." Half-Awake Fox said. His confidence came from the strong strength of the Holy Roman Empire. Half-Awake Fox hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have something to ask of you."

"Speak."

"I want to order a batch of high-level potions from Starry Night Pharmacy." Half-Awake Fox said. What he felt most embarrassed about was that although the Holy Roman Empire could be considered a large guild, it actually didn't have many alchemists, because alchemists were too difficult to train, and many alchemists were unwilling to sign a contract of servitude to the guild, because the guild's alchemists were no different from full-time nannies. The Holy Roman Empire faced a dilemma: buying things at auction houses was generally too expensive, and the Starry Night Pharmacy occupied most of the potion market in Carol City, so even a large guild like them could only depend on others.

Nie Yan was in a good mood. Niao Bu Sheng Dan's (Leaving no Eggs Behind) business strategy was still extremely effective. Nie Yan had asked him to wave large amounts of gold coins to poach alchemists from various guilds and shops. Almost all the alchemists he remembered were poached. Among the ten most famous alchemists in the entire Greenland Empire, eight had joined the Starry Night Pharmacy. The other two were in Triumph and Holy Light Flame. Those two alchemists were too loyal and couldn't be poached no matter what. The Starry Night Pharmacy already had two alchemists who had advanced to intermediate alchemists, and the number of primary alchemists had exceeded one hundred and sixty. In addition, there were more than five hundred alchemist apprentices, making money every day.

The Holy Roman Empire now consumed mostly potions from the Starry Night Pharmacy every day, and only produced a small part themselves. Although they were working hard to train a batch of alchemists, training alchemists was a time-consuming and energy-consuming task, and many alchemists had no talent, often consuming a lot of herbs but not achieving the desired effect.

"I need a batch of anti-charm potions, which can only be made by intermediate alchemists. It is said that Starry Night Pharmacy already has two intermediate alchemists." Half-Awake Fox said.

"Anti-charm potions, is the Holy Roman Empire preparing to clear the Succubus Nest?" Nie Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. The Holy Roman Empire's ambition was not small.
