Chapter 1 Finally Arrived!

Nie Yan followed the source of the singing, searching for Benita.

After a while, he reached the eastern beach. In the distance, he saw a figure facing the sea. She looked no different from an ordinary human girl, wearing a white gauze dress that danced lightly in the wind, her golden hair cascading down in curly waves.

According to the records, the Dragon girl Benita was an unparalleled beauty. Although she had lived for thousands of years, time had left no trace on her face. She could freely transform her body, turning into a dragon or a human.

The Dragon race had always been a mysterious existence. Although many dragons still appeared on the continent, they no longer had the glory they once possessed. If a dragon creature appeared, it would either be strangled by the guards of the major empires or become a human slave. Benita was an exception because she had some connection with the Ten Holy Knights, so the guards of the Greenland Empire did not bother her.

Nie Yan put on the Medal of the Ten Holy Knights and walked towards Benita.

"Hello, Ms. Benita," Nie Yan greeted.

Benita turned her head and looked at Nie Yan blankly.

Seeing Benita's appearance, Nie Yan was slightly stunned. Benita was a standard blonde, blue-eyed beauty, like a beautiful goddess from Greek mythology.

Her gaze fell on the Medal of the Ten Holy Knights on Nie Yan's chest, and a bright look flashed in her eyes.

"Mr. Nie Yan, hello. May I ask you a question? Where did you get this medal?" Benita asked.

Nie Yan explained how he had obtained the medal, including helping Kavana enter Heaven and being chased by Bruin.

Hearing Nie Yan say that he had escaped Bruin's pursuit, Benita showed a look of surprise.

"Mr. Kavana is a good person. I reached an agreement with Jobia of the Human Empire that unless humans attack me first, I cannot attack humans first. Otherwise, I would really like to kill that damned Bruin!" Benita said angrily.

"Ms. Benita, do you know where the other eight princes are being held?" Nie Yan asked. This was the guidance of the mission. He needed to know where the eight Holy Knights were being held in order to rescue them.

"Yes," Benita nodded, looked at Nie Yan, and thought for a moment. "I can tell you where they are being held, but there are hellhounds guarding them. With your current strength, you simply cannot rescue them."

"I will strive to become a strong person until one day I can rescue them," Nie Yan said firmly, feeling ashamed in his heart. For the sake of the mission clues, he could only put on a good show.

Benita stared at Nie Yan. Nie Yan met Benita's gaze without fear. Benita's eyes were like sapphires, crystal clear and without a trace of blemish.

"Young man, I admire your determination. I have something to give you, and I hope it will be useful to you." A strange light flashed in Benita's eyes, as if a voice was calling Nie Yan. Benita's eyes sucked him in like magnets.

Nie Yan felt a wave of drowsiness coming over him, and his eyelids drooped. He wanted to open his eyes, but no matter how hard he struggled, it was in vain.

It's mind control!

System: Do you decide to accept Benita's test?

It was estimated to be a part of the mission. The war between the Ni Ren Tribe and the Mage Alliance was still continuing. If he entered the mission, would it have any impact? Nie Yan weighed the pros and cons. In the Ni Ren Tribe, he was more of a spiritual leader and behind-the-scenes planner. Guo Huai, Cui Can Dao Guang and others were commanding the troops, so even if he was not there, they could still control the situation. If he refused Benita's mission, he didn't know if he would have another chance in the future. The Legend of the Ten Holy Knights was a very high-end mission. After the players of the Ni Ren Tribe reached level 100, everyone would clear out the hellhounds together, rescue the eight Holy Knights, and Kars would become Nie Yan's slave. This was of great significance to the entire Ni Ren Tribe, much more important than the outcome of this war.

Kars was a legendary mage!

After thinking about it, Nie Yan clicked OK.

After clicking OK, Nie Yan fell asleep groggily.

He didn't know how long had passed, but Nie Yan's hands gradually regained consciousness. A gust of cool wind blew on his face, and he slowly opened his eyes. The sky was gray, and he was lying in a grassland, the dense weeds reaching about knee height.

Nie Yan stood up and looked at the map. The name of this map was a bit peculiar.

Benita's Enchanted Land: Special map.

Map attributes: Here, for every skill used, you can gain fifty times the skill proficiency.

The exit of this map opens once every other day. If you go out, this map will disappear and you will never be able to enter it again.

Fifty times skill proficiency! Nie Yan was shocked. For players, training skill proficiency was the most cumbersome thing. For example, a simple Backstab skill, constantly training skill proficiency, would probably take about a month to reach level 7, and about five months to reach level 10. Any skill was relatively powerful as long as it was trained to level 5 or above. If it could be trained to level 8 or above, even the most ordinary skill would be ridiculously powerful, allowing players to get twice the result with half the effort when leveling up. If it could be trained to level 10 or above, this skill would be heaven-defying. A skill could be trained to level 16 at most, and constantly training skill proficiency would probably take more than two years.

Ordinary players would not spend a month or two constantly training the proficiency of a skill. Skill proficiency was generally obtained from battles, so the level of everyone's skills was generally not high. It was already very good if some skills could be trained to level 5.

If he could train a few skills to level 5, level 6, or even higher in this map, it would be very helpful for the future.

Once he walked out of this map, this map would disappear, which made Nie Yan a little depressed. Now was the time when the Ni Ren Tribe and the Mage Alliance were fighting, and he didn't seem to have much time to train skill proficiency. He immediately contacted Guo Huai with an external communicator and explained the situation.

"It doesn't matter, you can train your skills with peace of mind. I will report the situation on the battlefield to you every once in a while. With Dao Guang, Shui Se and the others in charge, there should be no problem. That kid Knight is also very good at commanding battles," Guo Huai said. In fact, in a battle of hundreds of thousands of people, Nie Yan's influence on the entire battle situation was very limited. In the end, it still depended on how the commander directed the battle. The most important thing in this battle was how to exert the power of the Frost Iron Armor Trebuchet.

"Notify me immediately if there is any situation!" Nie Yan said. With Dao Guang, Shui Se and the others there, he was relatively at ease.

After Nie Yan gave some instructions, time was limited, and he decided to train the proficiency of a few skills as soon as possible. He could obtain fifty times skill proficiency, so he must not waste it. He pulled down the skill list and looked at it. There were dozens of skills on the skill list, a dazzling array, and it was really difficult to choose.

Let's train a few of the Advanced Thief's free skills first, Nie Yan thought. He hadn't completely mastered these few free skills he had just learned, including Backhand Backstab, Shadow Phantom Assassination, Counter, Instant Strike, and Spine Break. For ordinary Advanced Thieves, five free skills were quite a lot.

Backhand Backstab and Shadow Phantom Assassination were learned relatively early, and Nie Yan could already achieve about 70% completion. Counter, Instant Strike, and Spine Break were learned relatively late, and could only achieve about 50% completion.

If he could completely figure out the skills of these skills and train them to level 5, level 6, or even higher, Nie Yan wouldn't have any problem fighting against elites of the same level alone, and maybe he could even challenge lords of the same level.

Nie Yan understood what possessing powerful skills meant to a thief.

He dragged these five skills to the most convenient positions, and walked towards the distance. On the vast grassland, there were humanoid creatures moving around, some warriors. They were wearing gray iron armor, their heads wrapped in red headscarves, wandering around. These warriors were about a head taller than Nie Yan, their muscles were very strong, and they were holding a giant axe.

Nie Yan sneaked closer to one of them and used Detect.

Wild Bull Warrior: Level 100, HP 800000.

Seeing the Wild Bull Warrior's HP, Nie Yan frowned. These Wild Bull Warriors were neither lords nor elites, just ordinary monsters, but their HP was too high.

Level 100 monsters shouldn't be this terrifying.

Nie Yan touched the back of the Wild Bull Warrior, about thirty yards away from the Wild Bull Warrior, and suddenly burst out, pouncing on the Wild Bull Warrior.

Spine Break!

Nie Yan slashed down on the Wild Bull Warrior's spine, and with a muffled bang, the Wild Bull Warrior's body paused, and a damage value of more than 1,200 floated above its head.

Such high defense!

He looked at the system prompt.

System: Spine Break skill has been successfully cast, completion 52%, dealing 80% attack damage, gaining 50 skill proficiency points.

The skill proficiency of the Spine Break skill immediately increased a lot, so cool! Usually, it would only take a few hours to train this much skill proficiency.

The Wild Bull Warrior fell into a brief crippled state, and Nie Yan used another Instant Strike.

The Wild Bull Warrior slowly turned around and swept over with an axe. Nie Yan quickly retreated several steps and dodged the Wild Bull Warrior's attack. Feeling that the Wild Bull Warrior's attack speed was not fast, he was excited. Such creatures were perfect for training skill proficiency, simply tailor-made for him. The Wild Bull Warrior's attack speed was slow, and Nie Yan could easily dodge its attacks. Plus, it had so much HP, he could just use all his skills on it. Each Wild Bull Warrior could be used to train skills for a while.

He looked at the skill bar and found that the Spine Break and Instant Strike skills had already cooled down by one-fifth. The cooldown time of these free skills was quite long, at least one or two minutes or more. Why was the cooldown time so short today?

Could it be that staying in this map can shorten the cooldown time of these skills? Thinking of this, Nie Yan couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Training skill proficiency in this map was so awesome!

~~It's not very convenient to go online recently. It takes a long time to get from the suburbs to the city. The latest chapter will be released in the morning, close to noon.
