Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World - Chapter 561

Chapter 561: 561




After the flash of light, a crisp system jingle rang out . Nie Yan checked his notifications .

You have successfully crafted a Wish Necklace .

“Phew, it didn’t fail . . . ” Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief . His nerves which were stretched taut finally relaxed .

Examining the stats of the Wish Necklace—Alchemy +1—Nie Yan was absolutely elated . This was one of the best rolls he could possibly hope for . The guild treasury had several Master-rank potion recipes lying around . With this necklace, they could start putting them to use!

Wish Necklace: Special Item

Properties: Alchemy +1

Restrictions: Bound to user . Wearer cannot gain skill proficiency .

Nie Yan immediately rang up Bird .

Seeing that Nie Yan was calling him, Bird dropped everything he was doing . 「Boss, do you need anything?」

「Which Advanced Alchemist in our guild has the highest success rate?」Nie Yan asked . This Wish Necklace would naturally go to the most suitable person .

「The highest success rate, huh… I guess that would be Quiet Nannan . He has a success rate of about 95% . The next highest would be me,」Bird replied .

Quiet Nannan had the higher concocting success rate while Bird had a chance of creating an even higher quality potion and gaining a large amount of additional proficiency . Comparing the two, Quiet Nannan appeared to be the better fit for this necklace .



「Take a look at this necklace here . Decide who among you two should have it,」Nie Yan said . He put the Wish Necklace in his mailbox, then entered Bird as the recipient .

Bird sucked in a cold breath of air after seeing the stats of the Wish Necklace . As an Alchemist, how could he not understand its value? People like him had spent months on end holed up in a workshop concocting potions nonstop just to reach the rank of Advanced Alchemist . Even though many people found themselves at the precipice of becoming a Master Alchemist, they discovered that breaking through this bottleneck was incredibly difficult . WIthout the aid of some sort of special recipe, they could only stagnate in place . Advancing to Master rank was far more difficult than originally imagined . However, here was a necklace that allowed an Advanced Alchemist to become a Master Alchemist, or a Master Alchemist to become a Grandmaster Alchemist .

Sadly, the wearer of the Wish Necklace wouldn’t obtain any skill proficiency . It could only serve as a supplementary item while concocting potions . This kind of restriction was very normal . Otherwise, this necklace would be way too overpowered .

「I think Quiet Nannan should have it . It’ll allow him to concoct potions above his rank . Maybe one day he’ll concoct Grandmaster or Sage-rank potions,」Bird said . He still had to manage the Starry Night Potion Shop, greatly limiting his free time to concoct potions . Letting someone else have this necklace was clearly the better choice .

「We have Master Health and Mana Potion Recipes in the guild treasury . Have Quiet Nannan Learn them and start producing a few of them,」Nie Yan said . Even in the previous timeline Master rank potions were a scarce as well as expensive commodity . At this stage of the game, they could be considered cheat items . Players like Bladelight and Tang Yao already had health or mana pools exceeding several tens of thousands . Advanced Health And Mana Potions could no longer fulfill their needs . However, Master-rank potions could instantly restore their health and mana to full .

With Master Health and Mana Potions, players would have increased sustainability . It could potentially even save them from wiping out during dungeon runs .

「Understood,」Bird replied . He quickly went to arrange these matters .

After successfully crafting the Wish Necklace, Nie Yan’s mood improved substantially . He continued to grind mobs in the vicinity for a while longer . However, he failed to find any more Life Emeralds .

Nie Yan sorted out his inventory and was about to return home, when a gust of wind blew past him, carrying the smell of the sea .

“Is this near the sea . . . ?”

Nie Yan checked his map . The closest coast was to the south more than 10 minutes away . The fact that he could smell the sea all the way over here was truly strange .

“A sea to the south, could it be the Silent Gulf?”

Nie Yan suddenly recalled he still had a quest to do there . He opened his quest window .



He was supposed to head to the Silent Gulf and search for Dragon Girl Venita .

Nie Yan had barely taken a single step in the Legend of the Ten Holy Paladin’s quest . The final boss was far too powerful . Whether it was the traitor Brewin or the hellhound Cerberus, both would have to wait until he was well over Level 100 and had become a Shadow Dancer if he wanted to stand a chance . That’s why he kept putting this quest off .

“Since I’m already here, I might as well go look for some quest clues,” Nie Yan muttered . He summoned his Faulkner Warhorse which had already recovered and set off for the southern coast .

The Dread Ravine was shrouded in an ever present darkness . A large gust of wind blew past, causing the trees to sway and rustle .

The Faulkner Warhorse dashed through the ravine at high speed .

The sound of activity came from the distance, arousing Nie Yan’s interest . There’s people!

With a loud bang, a ball of elemental energy exploded in the forest up ahead, emitting a dazzling seven-coloured light . A deafening roar rang out . Judging this sound, it seemed like someone was fighting the boss of this area, the Lord-class Berserk Black Bear .

“Could someone really be fighting the Berserk Black Bear? That’s a Level 90 Lord!” Nie Yan muttered . Even he didn’t dare to rashly challenge the Berserk Black Bear . It was definitely one of the most frightening Lords at this stage of the game .

Seeing the dazzling radiance in the distance, Nie Yan’s heart trembled . It was the Elemental Sphere spell!

NIe Yan couldn’t be anymore familiar with this spell . In the previous timeline after reaching Level 100, when he fought with Elementalists, this was their bread-and-butter spell . Its killing power was extremely high . If he recalled correctly, Elemental Sphere was a spell that could only be learned at Level 110 .

Could it be that someone had had already broken through Level 100, or perhaps they somehow learned the spell at a lower level?

After thinking for a bit, Nie Yan recalled his Faulkner Warhorse . He then entered stealth and made his way toward the source of the tumult .

After travelling through the dark forest for about 10 or so minutes, Nie Yan hid in a corner . Looking through the shrubbery, he saw a giant bear collapsed on the ground up ahead . Patches of its fur were charred black by the explosions of spells .

Looking at the battlefield, Nie Yan could tell the Berserk Black Bear’s movements were restricted to a 10-meter area . What powerful crowd control ability!

Two people stood beside the Berserk Black Bear’s corpse . One of them bent down to collect the loot off the ground, then said something to the other before they left .

Nie Yan inspected the two with Transcendent Insight .

Krasvi (Lord): Level 120
Titles: Flame Judge, Magister

It was an NPC! Nie Yan’s heart trembled . As for the other figure, he was a player, an Elementalist .

This kind of pairing was quite strange .

Nie Yan couldn’t see the Elementalist’s name and level . It appeared the other party was also in possession of a special item that hid their information .

At the same time Nie Yan activated Transcendent Insight, Magister Krasvi halted his steps . He turned around and scanned the forest, stopping at where Nie Yan was hiding .

Not good, he detected me!

Nie Yan immediately held his breath . Only he understood how terrifying of an existence a Level 120 Magister was, not to mention it was an NPC . If he entered within 60 meters of the Magister and a fight broke out, it would be extremely difficult for him to survive .

The most terrifying aspect of a Magister was that Unknown Transfer Scrolls didn’t work against them . Even if you’d already activated an Unknown Transfer Scroll, their magic could track you down and pull you back .

Nie Yan had fought Magisters before in the previous timeline . They could toy with you however they wanted, and there was nothing you could do to fight back .

A Level 180 Great Thief wouldn’t necessarily come out on top in a fight with a Level 120 Magister .

This was the difference in class rank .

This was also why so many players madly sought Master-class titles like Shadow Dancer and Magister .

“Sir Krasvi, is something the matter?” the player beside him asked .

Krasvi simply shook his head, then turned back around and continued walking .

The two disappeared into the darkness of the forest .

The Magister Krasvi’s Awareness was too high . Nie Yan didn’t dare to follow them . His heart was filled with doubt and curiosity . How did that player convince a Level 120 NPC to help him hunt monsters?

Nie Yan thought for a moment . Given Conviction’s settings, there were a few possibilities .

One, it was a servant . When players were questing, they had certain opportunities to make an NPC into their servant . Take for example Nie Yan’s Ten Holy Paladin’s quest . If he could defeat the hellhound Cerberus and free the imprisoned Paladins, he could make Karsi his servant . Two, that player was currently in the middle of a quest . Sometimes players could have an NPC accompany them while they were doing a quest, like an escort quest or they were helping the NPC kill monsters . Three, he had temporarily hired the NPC to fight on his behalf . For example, Nie Yan’s Divine Recruitment allowed him to hire powerful Paladins to aid him in combat .

As for what relationship Magister Krasvi had with that player, Nie Yan could only guess . He had no way of finding out .

Nie Yan felt a sense of urgency . Conviction was filled with too many hidden experts and talents . If he didn’t put in more effort, it was likely that he would be dragged off his throne . This would be a huge disaster for Asskickers United .

He definitely had to advance to a Shadow Dancer . An ordinary Shadow Dancer wasn’t good enough either . He had to become a Luminous Dancer!
