Chapter 763 - Demon Soulstone (1/2)

Nie Yan lightly coughed, somewhat blushing with embarrassment. He understood what Kokakori meant. From this high rank Shaman's point of view, simply not depriving the lives of these people was a great act of mercy worthy of admiration.

“Nirvana Flame, don’t think you’re all that just because you’re a Great Prophet. One of these days, I’ll take that title and shove it right up your-” an orc Warrior with an explosive temper shouted before he was restrained by the guards. He kicked and flailed as a rag of cloth was stuffed in his mouth.

The onlookers all stared at the orc Warrior like they were looking at an idiot. This dumbass actually believed he could take revenge on Nirvana Flame? Perhaps it was time he took a long, hard look in the mirror. With his ability, even if given a lifetime, he’d never even reach Nie Yan’s feet.

“Shaman Kokakori, it seems he’s incorrigible. For threatening me, may I ask what’s the maximum number of days we can have him locked up in jail for on top of his previous offenses?” Nie Yan asked. This fool. What did he think lashing out would accomplish?

“That would be 10 days.”

“Alright, 10 days it is.”

“Understood, Great Prophet.”

Nie Yan’s impression of Angel Corps was never great in the first place. He coldly snorted, having no sympathy for the orc Warrior.

Patience was a virtue. Take Nie Yan for example. With his personality, if he ever encountered a situation where he was put at a disadvantage, his first reaction wouldn’t be to hurl abuse at the other side but rather patiently endure. When he was stronger, he would wipe away the disgrace. The orc Warrior before him clearly had zero patience, even claiming he would get revenge. Truly a joke.

At this moment, all the Angel Corps players protesting immediately shut up. Even though they felt humiliated, none of them dared to curse Nie Yan. Being locked in jail for three days was already quite a harsh punishment, to say nothing of 10. One could imagine how far they would fall behind their peers. Nirvana Flame wasn’t to be provoked!

Their expressions flustered, looking like stray dogs as they were taken away by the guards.

“Great Prophet, anyone that dares to disturb you in Orc King City will be strictly punished to the full extent of the law. If you need anything, we’ll rush to your call,” Kokakori said, sweeping his eyes over the surrounding players.

The crowd immediately lowered their gazes, not daring to meet Kokakori’s eyes.

With everything settled, Kokakori led the guards away.

“Wow, you really are Nirvana Flame. Thank you for stepping up to help me just now. If it weren’t for you...” Top Dog nervously rubbed his hands. Even now, he still found this situation hard to believe.

The onlookers all stared at Nie Yan. His appearance was still hidden behind his cloak, but since the NPCs had confirmed his identity, it likely really was him. They immediately recalled the recent happenings in the Satreen Empire. Angel Corps’ elite team and 1,000-man expedition team both being wiped plus their Clemenci stronghold taking substantial damage, and all of this caused by the man in front of them. A legend. Today’s incident would become a story they would bring up with their friends time and time again, every new version more lavish than the last.

However, the crowd only admired Nie Yan from afar. They didn’t dare to get too close and disturb him, lest they be taken away by the guards too.

“It’s nothing. Just a tiny bit of effort on my part.” Nie Yan faintly smiled. “You have to be careful. Angel Corps has already set their eyes on you. If life here becomes too difficult, come back to the Viridian Empire.”

Top Dog chuckled. “This is home. After creating my character, the first thing I did was travel here. I know the maps like the back of my hand. I’d be lost in the Viridian Empire. Besides, I spend most of my time levelling in the wilderness anyway. Once every other month or so I return. If I just avoid Orc King City, there's nothing Angel Corps can do to me.”

“You travelled straight to the Satreen Empire as soon as the servers opened?” Nie Yan asked in surprise. Logically speaking, this shouldn’t be possible.

“It’s a pretty depressing story. When I created my character, I started near Blaze City in Crissi Town, which is on the border between the Viridian Empire and Satreen Empire. When I was only Level 9, I kept running north and somehow managed to safely pass a Level 100+ map. I was truly lost and tracking my way back was already no longer a possibility, so I used a Return Scroll and ended up in Kerykes Town in the Satreen Empire. And so, I became stuck here,” Top Dog explained.

Nie Yan couldn’t help but force a wry smile. Top Dog really had some terrible luck. For a low-level Paladin to somehow wind up in the Satreen Empire, one could imagine how hard his life had been. Most of the equipment that dropped here was unusable to him. Teams wouldn’t recruit him either, so it was incredibly difficult to find better equipment. Doing quests was also difficult since very few orc NPCs gave quests to humans.

In this situation, for Top Dog to not delete his account but instead persevere and get all the way to Level 103 was truly a miracle. If he had stayed in the Viridian Empire, he would probably be closing in on Level 160 and maybe even have a chance at becoming a Master.

Top Dog was more or less a local to the Satreen Empire. He knew the maps around here like the back of his hand. Convincing him to leave was impossible.

“If you meet any trouble, you can look for Ronin from Heaven Song. I’m sure he’d like you to join his guild,” Nie Yan said. He had a good impression of Top Dog. By giving him a suitable stage, his achievements would see a complete metamorphosis.

“Ronin,” Top Dog said in a daze.

“You know him?” Nie Yan asked.
