Chapter 1 The Grand Seer

Emperor Jobia sat on the throne at the front of the hall, the elders standing solemnly on either side, creating a majestic and dignified atmosphere.

Nie Yan walked straight in. As he passed through the hall, he felt a cold gaze fall upon him.

Nie Yan looked towards the elders and met the eyes of one of them, a person filled with hostility towards him.

It was Elder Radwin!

Nie Yan was puzzled. What was going on with this NPC? Something was very wrong. He seemed to have a constant grudge against him. After advancing to Grand Seer, he had sensed a strange power emanating from Elder Radwin, an aura somewhat similar to that of the necromancer Bodman.

Could it be a quest? Nie Yan's heart jolted. There might be something fishy about Elder Radwin.

Just as Nie Yan was thinking this, he suddenly received a crisp system notification.

‘System: Your suspicion of Radwin has prompted you to uncover the truth behind him. You have triggered the quest, "Elder Radwin's Betrayal."’

Nie Yan was taken aback. He hadn't expected to trigger such a quest unexpectedly. He was filled with surprise and wanted to know what connection Elder Radwin's betrayal had with the necromancer Bodman.

"Grand Seer Nie Yan, greetings. As the leader of the Greenland Empire, I represent the empire in thanking you for successfully predicting the arrival of the undead's revenge during this undead disaster, buying us much time and preventing immense losses," Emperor Jobia said, his voice deep and majestic.

Nie Yan shifted his gaze from Elder Radwin to Emperor Jobia, who was high above him at the front of the hall, and said humbly, "As a citizen of the Greenland Empire, this is what I should do. The God of Light will protect every kind person in this land." Nie Yan's response was quite appropriate.

Emperor Jobia smiled and nodded, appearing very appreciative of Nie Yan. "As Grand Seer, you will enjoy rights equivalent to those of an elder in the Greenland Empire. When necessary, you may mobilize the armies of any city to serve you. However, what you do must be in accordance with the teachings of the God of Light: do not bully the weak, do not abuse your power for personal gain, uphold justice, and eliminate evil."

Hearing Emperor Jobia's words, Nie Yan was shocked. Mobilize the armies? What a cool thing to be able to do! Generally, a city would have at least two to three thousand NPC soldiers, and large cities like Carol City even had seven to eight thousand. The thought of such a huge NPC force fighting for him excited Nie Yan.

However, this right was subject to certain conditions, namely the teachings of the God of Light mentioned by Emperor Jobia: do not bully the weak, do not abuse your power for personal gain. This meant that Nie Yan could not mobilize the army to attack other guilds unless it was for the so-called punishment of evil and upholding of justice.

On second thought, the Grand Seer's power should be useful in the upcoming undead revenge event.

If Qin Han summoned skeletons, he would mobilize the NPC army and see who was stronger!

As Nie Yan was lost in thought, he heard Emperor Jobia continue, "As Grand Seer, you will receive the Grand Seer Medal. This is an item left over from ancient times. For five or six hundred years under the rule of the God of Light, no Grand Seer has been born. Grand Seers are considered the people closest to God. You can converse with God, listen to God's will, and lead the Greenland Empire towards the light. May the God of Light bless you."

Hearing Emperor Jobia's words, Nie Yan couldn't help but smile wryly. What listening to God's will? His previous Great Prophecy was just a lucky guess, and he wasn't someone who could communicate with God at all. Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty, but he had some expectations for the Grand Seer Medal. Emperor Jobia said that the Grand Seer Medal was something passed down from ancient times, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Just as he was thinking this, Emperor Jobia stood up from the throne and slowly walked down the steps.

Watching Emperor Jobia walk towards Nie Yan step by step, Elder Radwin revealed a look of jealousy. The Grand Seer Medal was an item that even he wanted to obtain.

As he walked, Emperor Jobia said, "Legend has it that the Grand Seer Medal and the Chapters of Order are the two most authoritative items in the mortal world. Wearing the Grand Seer Medal allows you to listen to God's will, and holding the Chapters of Order allows you to represent God in controlling the order of the human world. Respected Mr. Nie Yan, do you already have a scroll of the Chapters of Order?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Nie Yan replied, placing his right hand in front of him and giving a respectful salute.

"Since the death of the last Pope of the Holy See, who returned to the embrace of God, no new Pope has been born for thousands of years. The six Chapters of Order, thirty-six sections, are scattered in every corner of the world. The Grand Seer Medal will guide you and take you to find the remaining Chapters of Order. When you have collected all the sections, you can become the Pope revered by the world," Emperor Jobia said, looking at Nie Yan with a benevolent gaze.

He hadn't expected that the Grand Seer Medal would involve the Chapters of Order. These two things actually had such a connection. Although Nie Yan knew the exact locations of many of the Chapters of Order, he had never thought that one day he could collect all thirty-six sections. After all, there were too many, and if he missed any one section, he would not be able to complete the set. So, although Nie Yan hoped to collect them one day, he never had any hope. That was why he had given the five Chapters of Order to Ci Dao earlier. But Emperor Jobia was actually asking him to collect these sections. Could it be that the so-called guidance of the Grand Seer Medal could really make him the Pope of the Holy See one day?

Nie Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. If he really became the Pope of the Holy See, the immense power would be unimaginable. The Pope of the Holy See was undoubtedly the most powerful person in the entire Greenland Empire, second only to Emperor Jobia. Moreover, the army of the Holy See was not under the jurisdiction of the Greenland Empire. Their believers were all over the Greenland Empire, and they possessed a powerful Order of Holy Knights. Even more frightening was that basically all priests were employed by the Holy See. Once they resigned from the Holy See, their own stats would decrease by more than 30%. If Nie Yan could become the Pope, he could expel any player from the Holy See, which was a very frightening power.

But these were all things for later. Collecting the six Chapters of Order was a very difficult task, even a distant dream.

Emperor Jobia walked up to Nie Yan. In his hand was an ancient medal. The medal was made of bronze and was very worn. The surface of the medal was a prophet totem symbol.

Emperor Jobia picked up the medal and pinned it on Nie Yan's left chest. Nie Yan suddenly felt his whole body shrouded in a powerful holy light, and his strength soared. He wanted to see what the stats of the prophet medal were, but Emperor Jobia was right in front of him, so he didn't dare to be distracted and focused on answering Emperor Jobia's questions.

Emperor Jobia put his right hand on Nie Yan's shoulder and said kindly, "No matter what happens, even if everyone misunderstands you, you must stick to your beliefs and uphold the truth and justice to the end. The dark age will always pass, and the light will surely break through the clouds and shine on the earth."

Nie Yan listened to Emperor Jobia's words, lost in thought. Emperor Jobia seemed to be hinting at something. Nie Yan's mind turned. Could it be related to the quest he had just received, "Radwin's Betrayal"?

The elders beside him came forward to congratulate him. Nie Yan responded very appropriately according to the established protocol. Nie Yan was still very good at handling these things. As for Elder Radwin, Nie Yan just perfunctorily dealt with him, and there was no easing of their relationship. Nie Yan was thinking, if he wanted to investigate Elder Radwin, what should he do to get some clues? The undead were about to attack, so this quest could only be postponed.

Nie Yan finally had time to look down at the stats of the Grand Seer Medal.

Grand Seer Medal (Lekdor Divine Artifact): All stats +30%, all skill levels +3, all equipment requirements -30, attached skill Prophet's Power, increases all pet stats by 100% for two hours. Skill cooldown, 10 natural days.

Restriction: Only usable by player Nie Yan.

The stats of this Grand Seer Medal were quite amazing. All skill levels +3 was basically god-tier equipment stats. That is to say, such stats would only appear on some god-tier equipment. It would already be very good if each piece of equipment had all skill levels +1.

Nie Yan looked at skills like Bone Break and Backstab. The level 16 skills did not advance further because level 16 was the cap, but other skills that were not capped were greatly improved. In addition, equipment requirement level -30 was also very exciting for Nie Yan. For example, the Abak Set he was collecting originally required level 180 to wear, but now he only needed level 150. No wonder this Grand Seer Medal was rated as a divine artifact.

All stats +30% was also very good.

In addition to the above three stats, the skill effect attached to the Grand Seer Medal was also very good. It could increase the strength of his pet by 100%. It would definitely be very useful in encountering some crisis situations. The only thing that was a bit depressing was that the skill cooldown was too long. It was like Divine Judgement. It could only be used after a long period of time, and he generally didn't dare to use it.

Obtaining the Grand Seer Medal really excited Nie Yan. This was definitely a title that countless players dreamed of. In terms of titles, Nie Yan's Grand Seer, Intermediate Light Arbiter, and Saint Shadow Dancer, these three extremely powerful titles, were enough to make countless players exclaim in admiration.
