Here, there would actually be something like this, Nie Yan thought with some surprise.

He remembered the drawing of the Lich King Ensor's treasure that had been hidden in his backpack for a long time, never having a chance to be used.

Ensor was a very famous demon king who had left his traces in many places on the Atalante mainland, having killed as many as three legendary figures.

These had all become distant history, with only a few descriptions in the books recording history.

Seeing Nie Yan's eyes fixed on the finger bone, Vaygus explained, "This was discovered by our barbarian ancestors when they were exploring a swamp. It possesses a very powerful curse and can be used as a medium for dark priests to cast curse magic, greatly enhancing the power of curse magic. The terrible power contained in this finger bone has made successive generations of barbarian priests afraid to touch it. When the last priest left, he left instructions that one day, someone would appear who would unravel the mystery of this finger bone."

Nie Yan looked at the marked price of the finger bone. The finger bone was priced at just under 30,000 gold coins.

"Please give me this finger bone, here are 30,000 gold coins." Nie Yan said, although the price was a bit expensive, he decided to buy the finger bone.

"Are you really going to buy it?" Vaygus was stunned for a moment, looking at Nie Yan and asking.

"Yes." Nie Yan nodded.

"Respected lord, if you need this finger bone, we can give it to you as a gift." Vaygus said, terrified.

"We must abide by the rules of the transaction. I am the city lord of Okoron City, and I must set an example." Nie Yan said. Some experiences in his previous life told him that using power to obtain things from NPCs often incurred the resentment of the NPCs, which often resulted in more harm than good. Similar things had happened many times before, and even Duke-level players rode roughshod over NPCs, robbing them of items, which later aroused the resentment of the NPCs and were assassinated by them.

The setting of faith was like this, and Nie Yan understood how to maintain the NPCs' goodwill towards him. The first thing was to learn to be humble.

Nie Yan insisted on paying, and Vaygus quickly said, "Respected lord, praise your virtue, we are willing to accept your gold coins, but as the lord here, you can enjoy a 50% discount when you purchase items here, so please take back some."

Nie Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

"Please be careful, it has a very terrible power." Vaygus carefully handed Ensor's finger bone to Nie Yan. His expression was very painful as he held the finger bone.

After paying 15,000 gold coins, Nie Yan took the finger bone from Vaygus's hand.

When he received the finger bone, a wave of cursed power rushed towards him.

Fear, cold, pain, all kinds of negative emotions, rushed up in his mind.

But then, a series of words flashed through Nie Yan's mind, justice, honesty, humility...

It was once said in some notes that these noble virtues could give people a powerful force that could make you no longer afraid of curses.

Nie Yan could clearly feel that the cursed power was slowly receding, and eventually disappeared without a trace.

System: You have obtained Ensor's Finger Bone.

System: You have accepted the quest, Spiritual Guidance.

Seeing these two system prompts, Nie Yan frowned, wondering what this spiritual guidance was, and looked at it. The quest clue was still in a hidden state.

At this time, the finger bone was shrouded in a glowing white light, and the cursed power contained in it could no longer penetrate.

Vaygus looked at Ensor's finger bone in amazement, the changes in the finger bone all falling into his eyes.

"Respected lord, do you possess the virtues of a saint?" Vaygus asked curiously.

"What virtues of a saint?" Nie Yan was a little puzzled, and suddenly thought of the series of words that had flashed through his mind just now. Could it be those character states? So he nodded and said, "Yes."

"May I ask which ones?" Vaygus asked very excitedly.

"Justice, courage, benevolence, honesty, sacrifice, perseverance, and humility." Nie Yan looked at his own character states and said.

Vaygus looked at Nie Yan with an unbelievable look, and said in surprise, "You have already obtained seven?"

"Yes." Nie Yan nodded.

"Respected lord, you possess admirable virtues and a noble personality." Vaygus crossed his hands on his chest and performed the most noble etiquette of the barbarians.

"May I ask what this has to do with Ensor's finger bone?" Nie Yan brought the topic back.

"Although Ensor's finger bone contains a powerful cursed power and is a treasure dreamed of by dark priests, it also has some side effects. When a dark priest不停的use the power contained in it, he is likely to be controlled by the cursed power attached to the finger bone and degenerate into a believer of death."

"Then why didn't you tell me clearly just now?"

"Respected lord, I have no intention of harming anyone. The old priests of the past have left ancestral instructions that sometimes, we know that bad things will happen, but God has already arranged it, and no matter how we try to stop it, it will always happen. The more we fear something, the more it will develop in the direction we fear. Only by keeping our hearts calm can everything be safe."

Nie Yan listened quietly. Vaygus's words contained some extremely mysterious principles. Nie Yan seemed to understand, but he understood some of the artistic conception. This was a kind of wisdom.

"I have been taught, they are some admirable wise men." Nie Yan said sincerely.

Vaygus smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Vaygus, I would like to ask, what do the virtues of a saint represent?" Nie Yan asked, he had always been very puzzled and wanted to know what those seven character states were used for.

"Regarding the virtues of a saint, please wait patiently, the light of God will bless you. I can only tell you that in addition to the seven virtues of a saint that you have obtained, there is also faith, also known as spirituality. When your faith is firm enough, you will be able to feel its existence. When you obtain spirituality, come to me again, and I will tell you everything." Vaygus said, he looked a little inscrutable.

Spirituality? Nie Yan's heart moved. The quest attached to Ensor's finger bone was precisely that spiritual guidance.

Now at least he had obtained some clues, which was much better than searching aimlessly. Nie Yan had figured it out. As Vaygus said, only by keeping his heart calm could everything be safe. Nie Yan was not in a hurry for these pursuits. As for the eighth character state, getting it was a blessing, losing it was fate, and it could not be forced.

"Since you possess a strong will and noble virtues, Ensor's finger bone cannot harm you, so I am relieved." Vaygus showed a relieved smile.

Nie Yan looked at Vaygus. Vaygus's peaceful expression gave people an ethereal feeling.

"Thank you for telling me these things, Priest Vaygus."

Nie Yan put away Ensor's finger bone and bought some other good things, such as invisible snowstorm totems, etc. Although these things were expensive, they were definitely very useful for killing monsters or scheming against others. In addition to the snowstorm totems, Nie Yan bought a lot of magic-patterned cloth here, a full five or six backpacks. When he was free, he could use them to make bandages and train his bandage skill level.

Due to the lord title, Nie Yan could enjoy a 50% discount when purchasing these items.

Everything was completed, and Nie Yan bid farewell to Vaygus. Vaygus sent Nie Yan to the door before returning.

Nie Yan looked up and saw that more than thirty people had gathered at the door. They had obviously seen what had just happened. When they saw Nie Yan coming out, everyone's eyes focused on Nie Yan. Their eyes were filled with doubt, admiration, and other expressions.

Nie Yan stepped down from the steps.

The thirty or so people surrounded him with a whoosh, startling Nie Yan. He had a dagger in his hand, and suddenly realized that this was in the city, and these people should not be stupid enough to do anything in the city. Although the NPCs in Okoron City were much weaker than those in other cities, they were more than enough to kill them.

These people did not care at all whether they had startled Nie Yan, and could not wait to squeeze everyone around them away and squeeze to Nie Yan's front.

"Brother, is your title already above marquis?"

"Brother, can you buy things in this mysterious shop? Please help me buy some things."

"Please help me buy five snowstorm totems, I am willing to add 30% to the price."

"Please help me buy three ruby gemstones, I am willing to add 50% to the price."

"Please help me buy..."

These voices were mixed together, very noisy, making it difficult for Nie Yan to hear who to listen to, but he still heard clearly that these players wanted him to buy some things for them. The matter of buying things for others had been around for a long time. Many mysterious shops had very high requirements for players, some requiring honor, some requiring contribution points, and some requiring titles. If the level was not reached, there was no way to buy things. So players came up with a way, which was to add a price to let others buy and resell to themselves. Buying things for others was a very profitable industry. A gemstone worth several thousand gold coins could cost dozens or even hundreds of gold coins in purchasing fees, but the work was very simple, just go to the store to buy things and then sell them, and the risk was relatively small.

Like this mysterious shop, the things sold inside were at least hundreds of gold coins, and some even thousands or tens of thousands of gold coins. Adding 30% to the price was quite considerable. The reason why there was such a high price increase was very simple, because this mysterious shop had too high requirements, and the title of marquis was not something that ordinary players could achieve. So far, Nie Yan was the only one who could talk to Priest Vaygus.
