Chapter 921 - Void Necklace (1/2)
Venerable: Influence in the Viridian Empire +150. Immunity to all dark-attribute crowd control magic Rank 16 and below. Reduces the effects of all dark-attribute crowd control magic above Rank 16 by 50%. Chaos Damage Taken -30%.
Venerable’s Authority: Direct a powerful shout at a void creature. 50% chance to stun for 5 seconds, 30% chance to stun for 10 seconds, and 10% chance to stun for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 60 minutes.
The stat bonuses from Venerable were amazing. It was certainly an extraordinary title. With the additional 150 Influence, Nie Yan’s total Influence in the Viridian Empire broke through the 1,100 mark. He could finally use the Wolf King skill!
“Oh Great Prophet, thank you for helping me complete my mission. To express my sincerest gratitude, please accept this present. It is not something of this world, but from the distant void, passed down to me by my father. Over this past year, I’ve seen it begin to stir. When darkness befalls us, a true hero will emerge and lead us back into the light,” Katherine said.
Nie Yan’s heart trembled. Katherine’s words were likely an omen that something big was about to happen. He considered using his Great Prophecy skill right then and there. However, he eventually opted to wait until later.
Katherine took out a small necklace. It was made out of an unknown metal, gloomy-white in colour. The necklace didn’t reflect any light. Attached to it was a pendant, shaped like a gemstone but lacking the sparkle. The pendant appeared to contain a mysterious energy which could suck everything into it.
With a single glance, Nie Yan could tell this necklace wasn’t of the Atlanta Continent.
Nie Yan respectfully accepted the necklace, and examined its properties.
Void Necklace of Clara
Description: A part of the Void Armour set.
Properties: Defense +2,300, Attack +1,200, +300% damage to void creatures, immunity to Void Gaze.
Restrictions: Master
Nie Yan sucked in a cold breath of air. This simple-looking necklace gave so much defense and attack power! The two other properties were for dealing specifically with void creatures.
Comparing it with his current necklace, Nie Yan quickly concluded that the attack and defense bonuses of this necklace were too good to pass up on, even if the other properties weren’t really useful right now. He unequipped Langdon’s Necklace of Fake Death and swapped it out for the the Void Necklace of Clara.
The reward for this quest chain was extremely generous. If Nie Yan were to reveal the things he received from it, that person who had turned in the quest 300 times before him would probably be stewing in regret. Who could’ve imagined the quest chain would end at 360?
Nie Yan chatted with Katherine for a bit, but he didn’t get any more information out of her. So, he left the Elder Council.
Nie Yan still hadn’t followed up on his quest related to the betrayal of Elder Redwin, nor did he have any clue on where to get started. Since there were no developments, he could only leave it on the sidelines for now.
As Nie Yan left the Elder Council, preparing to return to Okoron, he raised his head to the sky. It was still dark and gloomy, as though a downpour was about to come soon. The atmosphere was filled with a stifling pressure.
“Could this be a sign of something?” Nie Yan muttered. “Is a disaster going to befall Calore? Should I use Great Prophecy here?”
Nie Yan changed direction and headed to the Asskickers United guild office in Calore.
The players in the guild office were busy with work. After seeing Nie Yan enter, the entire place went into a stir. Many of them had worked here for a long time, but the opportunities to meet him were still extremely rare. It was no wonder they were all so excited. Of the many players in Asskickers United, only a small portion could claim they’d personally met him.
Everyone came up to greet Nie Yan. He simply nodded and smiled back. After reaching the courtyard in the center of the office, he raised his head to the sky and closed his eyes.
The players were confused. What was Nie Yan planning to do?
