Nie Yan opened the fourth page. The thick page, made of an unknown material, was covered with densely packed ancient common language characters, introducing the techniques for advancing to Grand Thief and Shadow Dancer, the cultivation of thief awareness, skill training, and so on. The level of detail was truly rare. Those who possessed these skills could, to a certain extent, unleash several times their own combat power. Many things could not be found in the official website videos from his previous life, and some techniques even Sun and Ying Sha had never mastered.

This was the most complete version of the Grand Thief and Shadow Dancer training manual!

With this thing, he wouldn't have to fumble around blindly. It listed more than a hundred skills in total, including Shadow Dance Footwork (beginner, intermediate, and advanced), Death Dance Footwork, and so on. As long as he learned two or three of them, he could roam freely; if he learned five or six, he could dominate the martial world.

Nie Yan wasn't thinking of learning them all. Having five or six skills would be enough, as some things were just too difficult.

He turned to the fifth page, which contained some strange anecdotes, including the whereabouts of the Grant the Archmage set and the origin of the Somodo Greatsword, as well as mentioning things like the Water of Life, Holy Blood Vials, Magic Mana Vials, and so on.

Items that had only appeared in legends were all introduced here.

After a brief look, he continued to turn the pages.

Opening the sixth page, a magical starburst pattern was engraved on it, emitting a dazzling light. A starburst pattern was imprinted in Nie Yan's mind, and countless memories of distant ages flooded into Nie Yan's brain, catching him a little off guard.

He could only passively accept these things. After a long while, he had absorbed them all.

System: You have gained Erudite Knowledge.

System: You have gained the title of Great Scholar.

A skill and a title? Nie Yan quickly checked his skill bar and found that he had an extra passive skill, Erudite Knowledge. He found that this skill encompassed everything, adding a 200% bonus to the player's intelligence. It would be great if a mage learned Erudite Knowledge, but unfortunately, he was a thief. The Erudite Knowledge skill allowed Nie Yan to directly learn all the good and lawful languages, such as Elvish and Orcish. It also came with a Divination spell, which could be used once every ten days to predict major changes in the country, such as upcoming historical events. In addition, the Great Scholar title gave the player +50 respect in all good and lawful countries and cities, and allowed free use of any city's teleportation. Anywhere, the Great Scholar could enjoy the protection of any guard within 50 yards. He could ride horses in the city and had the right to order the city's guards to deal with NPCs below the rank of baron!

NPCs and players below the rank of Duke in Carol City had to treat Nie Yan with respect. If there were any verbal insults, the guards would drag them off to confinement, ranging from 1 to 5 days depending on the severity of the situation and the amount of respect in Carol City! During this time, they couldn't level up and could only stay in jail obediently!

This was the power of the Great Scholar, supreme authority!

From then on, Nie Yan would become a true privileged noble. Unlike other titles, many titles only had privileges in certain cities or countries. Nie Yan's Great Scholar privileges were common in both the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire.

Even the magistrates of various cities would not dare to offend the Great Scholar easily, because Nie Yan possessed powerful Divination!

Seeing the last item, which could imprison players, Nie Yan secretly rejoiced. It would be nice to use this skill to scheme against Po Tian. As long as he didn't insult Po Tian first, and Po Tian opened his mouth to insult Nie Yan, then he could wait to be dragged away by the guards.

Unfortunately, it could only be used once, but that was enough. This kind of psychological blow had a far greater impact than the punishment Po Tian himself received.

If the Great Scholar successfully predicted several major battles and prevented Greenland and Saturn from suffering losses, he could advance to Grand Seer!

Opening the seventh page, the seventh page came with a summoning circle, which could summon a warhorse, with a warhorse pattern attached. Nie Yan glanced at the pattern of the warhorse. It was a tall, handsome warhorse, covered with metal chainmail protection, and was very sturdy and strong.

Seeing the pattern of this warhorse, Nie Yan couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. Faulkner Warhorse! Faulkner Warhorse was one of the most precious breeds of Greenland Warhorse, produced in the Finas Steppe, known as the Royal Pegasus, with a running speed bonus of more than 300%, running like the wind. In his previous life, even the cheapest horses sold for tens of gold coins, and the Faulkner Warhorse was even more ridiculously expensive, costing more than 50,000 gold coins at the Royal Horse Farm. However, even with enough money, it might not be possible to buy it, because buying a Faulkner Warhorse required the title of Marquis and a respect value of 50 or more in Carol City.

These were all daunting, and it seemed that even the presidents of several large guilds in his previous life could only sigh in the face of such expensive horses.

Nie Yan wanted to see what the Faulkner Warhorse would look like after being summoned, but it couldn't be summoned here.

After taking a look, there was still one page left of the Chapter of Order.

Opening the eighth page, a dazzling light shone from the book.

In the light, Nie Yan saw ancient battlefields, golden horses and iron horses, countless majestic buildings standing tall, demons and angels dancing in the sky... Scenes flashed by, and a heavy sense of history swept over him. All of this seemed to be telling an ancient and distant history, lonely and desolate.

All of this had vanished like smoke and was long gone.

System Announcement: The first volume of the Chapter of Order has been opened, and the sacred light shines. The expansion pack - Sealed History has been launched.

System Announcement: There will be a system update in one hour. Players must be prepared to log off within one hour.

Below was a lot of information about the era of co-governance. The human kingdoms of Greenland and the Saturn Empire would usher in a historical turning point. The entire country would fully open land mounts. The knights of the empire would sing triumphant songs and drive out all evil creatures.

In addition, after the Sealed History expansion pack was launched, some things would be adjusted. In order to allow new players to improve faster, the experience required for leveling up would be greatly reduced, the drop rates of low-level gold equipment, dark gold equipment, and skill books would be increased, and the drop rate of game coins would be increased. In addition, elementary fortresses would be opened one after another, the first batch being five elementary fortresses. These five elementary fortresses were guarded by evil creatures. Whoever pioneered them would own them. In addition, places such as the Elemental Hall and the Sanctuary would open up for the learning of advanced magic. The difficulty of the trials for learning advanced magic would be slightly reduced, but it would still be very difficult. At the same time, a large number of expansion packs related to the Sealed History would be launched one after another, at levels sixty and one hundred and twenty. Even if the leveling speed was accelerated now, it would still be a long time.

He didn't expect that opening this page would trigger the expansion pack. Nie Yan opening the Sealed History meant that history had once again deviated. He was annoyed by this. He knew he shouldn't have opened the last page for the time being, so that history would be easier to control. He thought that after collecting the first volume of the Chapter of Order, the Sealed History would be opened after a while, but he didn't expect that he still had to open the last page!

This seemingly simple thing was about to affect the entire game's progress!

When Nie Yan opened the Shadow of Darkness, a major earthquake was happening outside.

"Damn, who opened some Chapter of Order?"

"I don't know."

"The system is going to be upgraded. It is said that leveling up will become easier. I don't know if that's true."

The players were shocked by the sudden system upgrade and were discussing it. They were guessing who the player who opened the expansion pack was. Those teams who were preparing to go to dungeons everywhere abandoned their dungeons and returned one after another. Those who were in the dungeons also accelerated their progress, but one hour was definitely enough time.

The major cities were crowded with people, and everyone was discussing the upcoming expansion pack. Because they knew that leveling up would become much easier after the expansion pack was launched, they didn't go to level up at this time. They were all wandering around the city.

"Nie Yan, did you cause that system upgrade?" Guo Huai sent a message asking. He knew that Nie Yan had the Chapter of Order, but he didn't know the specifics.

"I did it. When you go online tomorrow, quickly gather all the top players in the guild. I want six hundred people." Nie Yan said. Since the system upgrade was unavoidable, he had to take the opportunity to get some benefits, otherwise it would be too much of a loss.

"Okay, no problem." Guo Huai said. He understood that Nie Yan might have some big plans.

"Also, find out Po Tian's location for me. Is he in the city? Report to me immediately! It would be best to know the location of Ye Po Shengun as well." Nie Yan said. His scheme to trick someone was about to begin. With Po Tian's fiery temper, it would be strange if he didn't fall into his hands. As for Ye Po Shengun, based on what he knew about Ye Po Shengun in his previous life, this guy wouldn't be fooled so easily.

"What are you going to do with him?" Guo Huai asked in surprise. There was no way to deal with Po Tian in the city. Was Nie Yan planning to negotiate?

"I will make him fall hard. You just watch." Nie Yan smiled slightly. This system upgrade was an opportunity for major development for the major guilds. Especially in a few days, when Bright Sacred Flame and the Holy Roman Empire would compete for control of the fortress. If he could send Po Tian to jail, it would be very beneficial for them to compete for control of the fortress.

"Okay, I'll check immediately." Guo Huai said. Although he didn't know what Nie Yan wanted to do, seeing Nie Yan so mysterious, he might be scheming against Po Tian. With Nie Yan's personality, he would never act without a mature plan. He was a little excited. Po Tian was probably going to be schemed against.

After a while, Guo Huai sent a message saying that Po Tian and a group of people were in the Carol City Central Auction House.

"Ying Sha seems to be there too!" Guo Huai said. He was also very surprised when he heard the news.

Nie Yan narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, "It doesn't hurt to meet him either."
