Chapter 410 The Great Thief (First Update Today)
Nie Yan pondered carefully; theoretically, this idea was feasible.
Magic Immunity could destroy magical elements and isolate them. Using Magic Immunity to penetrate a barrier... a similar event seemed to have happened in his past life, especially during fortress battles, where such situations were occasionally encountered.
An idea surfaced in Nie Yan's mind. He wondered if it would work.
A dozen minutes later, Nie Yan re-entered the game, back in the underground prison. The muddy, narrow cell emanated a foul stench.
Nie Yan looked into the cell. The thief, Parrot, sat in a corner, eyes closed in rest. The moment Nie Yan appeared, Parrot opened his eyes, a divine light gleaming within them.
Parrot looked at Nie Yan and said, "Demon Hunter, Great Scholar, you've returned. Is there any progress?"
"Esteemed Mr. Parrot, please wait a moment." Nie Yan smiled slightly, then squatted down, examining the iron bars. Each steel bar was thick and sturdy, covered in mysterious, twisted runes that emitted an eerie magic.
This was Dark Magic Protection, a very advanced barrier in the magic protection barrier family. Players wouldn't learn skills to break such barriers until they reached level 100.
The gap between the two bars was about five inches, not enough for a person to stick their head through.
Nie Yan slowly extended his right hand, touching a thin, membrane-like barrier. As he reached further, a powerful rebounding force surged from his fingertips with a bang, numbing his entire right hand.
Nie Yan was almost knocked off his feet, staggering back more than ten steps before managing to steady himself.
What a powerful rebound force!
It took a long time for the feeling to slowly return to Nie Yan's right hand.
Parrot watched Nie Yan studying something near the barrier, slightly surprised. When he saw Nie Yan being blasted back, he said, "Demon Hunter, Great Scholar, there's no need to try breaking this magic protection barrier. It contains 600 units of magical energy. Only a Grand Magister above level 180 can destroy it."
Hearing Parrot's words, Nie Yan smiled.
"I'm not entirely without a solution." Nie Yan walked up to the iron bars. He had just sensed the immense destructive power of the magic barrier, as well as the magical elements it contained.
These magical elements were no different from ordinary magical elements.
Hearing Nie Yan's words, Parrot was somewhat astonished. Could Nie Yan really destroy the magic protection barrier? That was beyond his understanding.
Parrot's eyes were fixed on Nie Yan, watching for any further action.
At that moment, Nie Yan changed into the appropriate equipment and cast a skill on himself.
Polymorph!
Nie Yan's body rapidly shrank in a bizarre manner, its structure constantly changing, transforming into a black lynx, resembling a smaller cheetah, its body weight about half of what it was before. After transforming into a lynx, a player's agility and jumping ability would be enhanced, making them suitable for running in mountainous terrain.
Even after activating Polymorph, his size was still too large.
Gnome Transformation!
Nie Yan's body rapidly shrank, becoming only one-third of its original size, making him only slightly larger than an ordinary cat, enough to pass through the five-inch gap between the iron bars.
Seeing Nie Yan rapidly transform, Parrot's eyes widened.
"Demon Hunter, Great Scholar, you possess some very rare magical items."
Nie Yan added Divine Arbitration to himself, putting himself in a state of Magic Immunity.
Nie Yan walked forward, drawing in his stomach, gradually touching the magic protection barrier. His heart tightened. If Magic Immunity was ineffective, he would be blasted away.
The moment he made contact with the magic protection barrier, it twisted slightly, gradually breaking open bit by bit.
Nie Yan's body penetrated the magic protection barrier, entering little by little through the gap between the iron bars.
The magic protection barrier, upon touching Nie Yan, who was under the effects of Magic Immunity, rapidly disintegrated and cracked.
Magical elements were particles. The entire world of Faith was another world constructed by the main brain, with its own unique rules. Those who understood the rules and played with them were the strong. Trying to challenge or destroy the rules would inevitably lead to destruction by those rules.
Using Magic Immunity against magical elements was precisely exploiting the game rules within Faith.
Nie Yan's entire body entered the prison cell. The magic barrier completely returned to its original state.
The effects of the skills on his body completely dissipated, and Nie Yan's body rapidly grew, returning to its original state.
Seeing Nie Yan turn into a lynx, pass through the iron bars, and then return to his human form, Parrot was also shocked. He couldn't have imagined that someone could use this method to pass through the iron bars. It was truly magical.
"Esteemed Mr. Parrot, hello." Nie Yan greeted with a smile.
"Esteemed Demon Hunter, Great Scholar, you are the most amazing and incredible person I have ever seen." Parrot said with emotion. He had changed his address to Nie Yan, adding the prefix 'esteemed.'
With Nie Yan's sensitivity, he naturally sensed the change in Parrot's attitude.
Nie Yan took out an instant teleportation scroll and traded it to Parrot, saying, "This is an instant teleportation scroll. With it, you can leave this hellhole."
Parrot confirmed the trade and said, "Esteemed Demon Hunter, Great Scholar, let's leave here first. See you at the Thieves Guild in Calore!"
"Alright." Nie Yan nodded.
Parrot used the instant teleportation scroll, turning into a beam of white light and disappearing from the spot. Clang, clang, clang, the chains binding Parrot fell to the ground, but Parrot himself was gone.
Nie Yan checked the progress of the quest.
Quest Progress: Rescue Hostages, Number 100/100. The quest has been completed. Mr. Parrot is waiting for you at the Thieves Guild. The Thieves Guild will give you a very generous reward.
He had successfully changed classes. Nie Yan smiled slightly. The difficulty of this quest was a bit beyond his expectations, especially the final step of passing through the iron bars. If he hadn't thought of using Polymorph, Gnome Transformation, and Divine Arbitration, he might have had to deal with that level 70 Lord. Whether he could have completed the quest in the end would have been difficult to predict.
Fortunately, everything was resolved smoothly.
Nie Yan took out a Return Scroll and began to read it. Those instant teleportation scrolls were quest items that couldn't be bought on the market. Players like them could only use these Return Scrolls that required 20 seconds to read.
A white light flashed, and Nie Yan returned to Calore.
Calore was still the same as usual. The thought of receiving the reward for the Grand Thief class change quest made Nie Yan a little excited. He recalled his past life, when he had exhausted himself to complete the simple-difficulty Grand Thief class change quest. He was so excited at the time.
At that time, he wore a set of level 60 gear, ostensibly a set, but actually silver-grade. In the eyes of the players at the time, it was already quite good. All the valuable things on his body added up to a value of fifty or sixty gold, making him virtually penniless.
This life was a reversal of fortune. Nie Yan's current equipment, plus the Golden Earth Dragon, was worth at least 100,000 gold.
That was the difference!
That was also why Nie Yan dared to accept the expert-level class change quest.
That dark and dismal experience of living in pain every day, yet gritting his teeth and persevering, would become Nie Yan's most precious wealth in this life!
Nie Yan walked through the bustling streets and arrived at the entrance of the Thieves Guild again, walking inside.
He saw Parrot, dressed in a thief's cloak, sitting on a chair nearby. Seeing Nie Yan approaching, he immediately came over.
"Thank you, esteemed Demon Hunter, Great Scholar, and Grand Thief. Given your excellent performance, we have decided to award you the title of Grand Thief and the Thieves Guild Medal of Honor. You are the only person to have received the honor of the Thieves Guild Medal of Honor," Parrot said, his words filled with excitement.
Thieves Guild Medal of Honor? Nie Yan had never heard of this item before, nor had he ever heard of anyone posting pictures of such equipment online.
System: You have completed the class change quest - Rescue Hostages, and received a quest reward of 532,918 experience points, 300 gold coins.
A white light shone from Nie Yan's body. Nie Yan was directly promoted, and looking at his level, he had reached level 55. The quest reward of 300 gold coins was basically negligible to Nie Yan.
System: You have obtained the title of Grand Thief.
Nie Yan looked at his own attributes. The attributes had changed significantly, including defense, attack, etc., which had been greatly improved. All attributes had an extra 30% bonus, his health was as high as 4,200, and both his attack type and defense type had changed to enhanced attack and enhanced armor.
There were some unique calculation methods for defense and attack that Nie Yan couldn't figure out either. It was said that enhanced armor could reduce at least 60% of attack damage.
After changing to the Grand Thief class, a certain degree of freedom was opened up. Players could integrate some fighting skills into combat, but of course, the combat mode was constrained by the system.
First class change would be a time for many players to shine. Nie Yan understood that after the first class change, he would face more challenges. Those players who had changed classes would not be as easy to deal with as ordinary players.
Even at his peak in his previous life, at level 180, he had not mastered all the skills of a Grand Thief.
Under different gameplay styles, a Grand Thief class would give birth to players with different combat styles.
For him, Grand Thief would be a new beginning. This was a strange but somewhat familiar journey.
