Chapter 13 Sonia's Moonlight Glade

Sonia's Moonlight Glade, with its damaged altars and wind-eroded buildings, was desolate and dilapidated, giving off a sense of mystery and timelessness.

The White Elves belonged to the Saturn Empire and were allies of humans. Later, the Greenland Empire and the Saturn Empire fought for territory. Under the constraints of the peace treaty, the White Elf branch here had to move out of this land and go to distant Saturn.

The White Elves had not appeared on the land of Greenland for hundreds of years. Therefore, the White Elves were just a distant legend to the players of the Greenland Empire.

In his previous life, not long after Nie Yan advanced to Grand Thief, the expansion pack, "The Sealed History," had just begun. Occasionally, one or two White Elves or Orcs would appear in Carol City, but not many. After all, the teleportation fee between the Saturn Empire and the Greenland Empire was too daunting. Only the heads of those large guilds could afford to travel back and forth. On the eve of Nie Yan's assassination of Cao Xu, the Greenland Empire opened the Gryphon cages and sold Gryphons to the public. Players could ride Gryphons between the two great empires. But Nie Yan never got to see it.

This was the path of faith development. Each city's map was very large. Players first operated in one city. After land mounts were opened, players could travel to major cities. After flying mounts were opened, players could truly cruise the world.

Each empire had different rules, different professions, different beliefs, different customs, and different cultures. The main brain gradually showed this gorgeous and brilliant world to the players. It was amazing and fascinating.

Nie Yan's area of activity was still limited to Carol City, but from the ruins left by White Elves, Dark Elves, and Orcs from various places, one could vaguely glimpse its features.

If Nie Yan gathered the first volume of the Chapter of Order, the sealed historical expansion pack was likely to come early.

Nie Yan didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but one thing was certain: possessing such a legendary item would be of great benefit to his future development.

After crossing a dense jungle, six Moon Bears appeared in the open space ahead. These six Moon Bears were much stronger than ordinary Moon Bears. They were wandering around aimlessly. Around them were some broken walls with ancient patterns and Elven characters faintly visible on the walls. This area was where they used to worship the Moon Goddess.

These Moon Bears seemed to be elite creatures. Nie Yan slowly crept behind a wall and cast a Detect spell on them.

Rock Moon Bear: Level 35 Elite, Health 11000/11000.

These Rock Moon Bears were unmatched in close combat. Without a priest, no melee unit below level 40 dared to attack them.

Nie Yan's path was blocked by these Rock Moon Bears.

Watching the movement patterns of these Rock Moon Bears, Nie Yan pondered for a moment, used an acceleration scroll, activated Shadow Dance, and flew forward, quickly approaching the Rock Moon Bears.

One of the Rock Moon Bears discovered Nie Yan and roared lowly, slapping Nie Yan with its palm.

Nie Yan's movements suddenly accelerated. He made a sharp turn and dodged, brushing past the Rock Moon Bear.

The Rock Moon Bear's giant palm almost grazed Nie Yan's body, missing its target. It paused, and by the time it wanted to find Nie Yan again, Nie Yan was three or four yards behind it.

Using the Shadow Dance technique to avoid the Rock Giant Bear's attack was simply the easiest thing to do.

Nie Yan dodged the attack of one Rock Moon Bear, and the remaining five Rock Moon Bears all charged towards him, seemingly about to tear him apart. One of the Rock Moon Bears stood up high and slammed down with a Shockwave.

Nie Yan took a few steps back, and with a bang, the Rock Moon Bear slammed its palm on the ground in front of Nie Yan, leaving a deep pit.

Nie Yan agilely dodged the Moon Bears' attacks, and with a sideways movement, barely squeezed through the gaps in the Rock Moon Bears' attacks.

Nie Yan's speed was unleashed to the extreme.

Just as these Rock Moon Bears were about to charge up, Nie Yan had a handful of flash powder in his hand. With a bang, the flash powder in his hand exploded, releasing a dazzling light.

All five Rock Moon Bears were blinded, roaring and bumping around. Nie Yan took the opportunity to rush out a dozen yards, turned over and jumped over the broken wall, disappearing into the jungle, nowhere to be found.

Since it hadn't been explored yet, there were a frightening number of elite-level Moon Bears in this area, but Nie Yan still relied on his superb dodging skills to gradually摸(mō) into the depths of the Moonlight Glade.

It would be good to let Brilliant Knife Edge and the others come here to explore when they reach level 35. With Brilliant Knife Edge's defense and Big Head Bro. Seven's healing, there would definitely be no problem bringing a team here, Nie Yan couldn't help thinking.

What made Nie Yan feel a little excited was that while searching for the Chapter of Kindness, he actually encountered two Gold Treasure Chests and several Silver Treasure Chests. One of the Gold Treasure Chests even yielded a recipe for a Novice Magic Confluence Potion.

Magic Confluence Potion was one of the most supreme potions. Although the raw materials for making it were simple, the recipe was too rare. It was divided into Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert levels. The price of an Intermediate recipe even exceeded some sub-legendary equipment when it was auctioned in the previous life. Advanced and Expert levels had never even been seen. The price of a Novice Magic Confluence Potion within level 50 was immeasurable.

Novice Magic Confluence Potion: Increases advanced magic power by 20%, reduces magic chanting time by 10% when casting advanced magic, and increases speed by 20% when writing magic incantations.

A bottle of Novice magic potion could have such an effect, it was truly rare.

The recipe for the Magic Confluence Potion was extremely rare, so the price of each bottle of Magic Confluence Potion was as high as dozens of gold coins. Many mages could only use such an expensive potion when they were promoted to Archmage.

The cost of making a Novice Magic Confluence Potion was not high, about fifty silver coins. It required more than thirty kinds of raw materials, but fortunately, they were all relatively common. The only thing that was a bit depressing was that it took an intermediate alchemist as long as ten minutes to make a bottle of Novice Magic Confluence Potion, and the success rate would not exceed 30%, which meant that they needed to spend about forty minutes to successfully make a bottle of Magic Confluence Potion.

Every minute of an intermediate alchemist was very valuable.

However, the Magic Confluence Potion was extremely precious to an Archmage or even a Great Mage who possessed advanced magic. In the later stages, those advanced magics, although powerful, would take them at least one or two hours, or even three or four hours, to write the advanced magic into the magic incantation. A bottle of Novice Magic Confluence Potion could save them a lot of time. It was equivalent to using the time of an intermediate alchemist to exchange for the time of Archmages and Great Mages, which was obviously extremely cost-effective. At the same time, drinking a bottle of Magic Confluence Potion could greatly reduce the chanting time of advanced magic. Every minute and every second on the battlefield was very critical.

"I made a profit." Nie Yan thought excitedly. Only now did he understand why the major guilds were still keen on exploring new areas, no matter how much they lost.

He had lost too much by not participating in exploration in his previous life. He should encourage his subordinates to explore various high-end maps when he returned to the guild.

"Nie Yan, where are you now?" At this moment, Guo Huai sent a message.

"I'm in Sonia's Moonlight Glade, what's wrong?" Nie Yan asked. Guo Huai must have something important to say to send a message at this time.

"Blue Firmament has merged into Holy Light."

"Oh." Nie Yan nodded.

"Aren't you worried?" Guo Huai didn't expect Nie Yan's reaction to be so calm. Blue Firmament was a large guild of 20,000 people!

"What's there to worry about? I guessed it long ago. It's either Triumph Empire or Holy Light." Nie Yan said. The feud with Blue Firmament was definitely formed. What was supposed to come would still come. He had never regretted his previous decision to support the Fallen Leaf Studio.

"Since you are prepared, I won't say anything. There is one more thing you need to treat with caution. Triumph Empire has just recruited Dark Eternity Studio, and it is said that they are coming for you. You need to be careful." Guo Huai said, Dark Eternity was the number one studio in the country.

"Shadow Kill?" Nie Yan was stunned. The development of history had indeed deviated somewhat. He didn't expect them to be able to recruit Dark Eternity Studio. He wondered what price they had paid to get that person to agree to help the Triumph Empire.

In the world of Shadow Dance in his previous life, there were two legendary figures. One was Sun, who grew from a small 毛头(máotóu) (kid) into a stunning genius, undoubtedly dazzling. The other person was Shadow Kill. He rarely appeared in the public eye and did not even participate in the Shadow Dance Challenge. Everything about him was a mystery. However, he was already famous before Sun debuted. The boss of Dark Eternity, the largest studio in the country, had long been a household name, but most people had only heard of him and never seen him.

Shadow Kill generally only accepted assassination missions, and the prices he charged were ridiculously high, even to the point of being unbearable. This guy only killed the most difficult people, as if he was just playing a thrilling game. He had never missed a shot. In his previous life, his assassination list included Po Tian, the boss of Triumph Empire, Ye Po Shen Gun, the boss of Holy Light, Love Massacre, the boss of Berserker Alliance, and so on. This guy only recognized money and didn't care about factions. He would only take action if you offered a price that moved him. In his previous life, when the Triumph Empire was vying for world hegemony and Po Tian was unstoppable, he still fell into Shadow Kill's hands.

"It's him." Guo Huai said with some solemnity. In previous games, Shadow Kill was always an unattainable existence for countless people.

"Have you detected any news about him?"

"No, I only know that Dark Eternity has temporarily joined the Triumph Empire. The bosses of Triumph Empire and Holy Light have both met him."

"His target is me?"

"I think there is a 90% chance, so you need to be careful."

"It's an honor to be Shadow Kill's target." Nie Yan didn't worry at all, but smiled calmly.
