Chapter 1 Hilton Fortress

The residents of Hilton Fortress talked daily about topics related to Mount Anfリート, even the dark red gold had been acquired from Mount Anfリート.

Nie Yan was a little puzzled. Earlier, he saw that Karen was only a level 20 NPC. How did he cross so many dangerous maps to find this dark red gold at Mount Anfリート? This had become a mystery, impossible to solve.

Although Karen was just a child, his bright eyes sparkled with the wisdom of survival.

Mount Anfリート, Nie Yan repeated to himself. What exactly had he overlooked?

At this moment, Nie Yan's thoughts were very chaotic. He vaguely felt that he had missed something important, but he couldn't remember what it was.

Nie Yan tried hard to recall all the information related to Hilton Fortress. He suddenly remembered that after Hilton Fortress was besieged by monsters and its population sharply reduced, there was a system message when players entered Hilton Fortress, which was the prelude to the players' participation in the Hilton Fortress defense war.

‘The lava of the volcano erupts from the depths of the earth, signaling the arrival of disaster. Countless monsters surge towards Hilton Fortress, turning this magnificent city into desolate ruins. Warriors, use your powerful strength to drive away the monsters, rebuild this heroic city, may the souls of the dead rest in peace, and may the immortal will endure forever...'

Lava erupts, disaster arrives, yes, it's disaster!

Thinking of this, Nie Yan suddenly understood and revealed a look of ecstasy. He connected all the information together, and everything became clear.

‘The lava of the volcano erupts from the depths of the earth’, this sentence refers to Mount Anfリート. According to the historical process, first Mount Anfリート suddenly became active, and a large amount of lava erupted from the depths of the earth. To avoid the lava, countless underground monsters ran out of their caves. After they reached the surface, they all surged towards Hilton Fortress and launched a fierce attack on Hilton Fortress. This monster siege was much more violent than any previous one. The siege lasted for five or six days, causing heavy casualties to Hilton Fortress. Reinforcements from major cities arrived late, almost causing Hilton Fortress to fall.

The activity of Mount Anfリート is a sign of the coming disaster!

If he could predict this disaster in advance and prepare the players of Hilton Fortress, he could avoid many losses.

Nie Yan was a Great Scholar. In the history of Greenland and Saturn, Great Scholars were people with extensive knowledge. They were favored by the gods and possessed special abilities that ordinary people could not imagine. They were lofty beings. Above the Great Scholar was the Great Prophet. As a Great Scholar, as long as he successfully predicted several historical events of the Greenland or Saturn Empire and prevented Greenland and Saturn from suffering losses, he could advance to become a Great Prophet!

The status of the Great Prophet was more lofty than that of the Great Scholar. In the temples of the Saturn Empire and the cathedrals of the Greenland Empire, the Great Prophet had extremely high privileges, a special existence second only to the governors.

If he advanced to become a Great Prophet, he could walk sideways in any place in Greenland and Saturn!

Nie Yan already had the title of Great Scholar. As long as he successfully predicted a few times, he could advance to become a Great Prophet!

This time, he could predict the monster siege of Hilton Fortress!

This didn't seem to be a prediction at all. Nie Yan already knew the historical process of the game. He just needed to tell the leader of Hilton Fortress the game process he knew.

This prediction was definitely accurate!

Nie Yan searched his skill bar for the Greater Prophecy skill, walked to a secluded corner, and prepared to cast Greater Prophecy.

He wanted to use Greater Prophecy to verify his conjecture!

A gentle white light slowly brewed in his palm, becoming more and more intense.

A divine light descended from the sky, piercing through the heavens and the earth. Nie Yan stood in this pillar of divine light and heard a system prompt.

Divine Revelation: The flames are raging, and disaster will come in five days.

The divine light paused, and this pillar of divine light alarmed the residents of Carol City, and they talked about it.

After receiving the Divine Revelation, Nie Yan left and disappeared into the alley.

The Divine Revelation sounded a little unclear. If it were normal, he might not be able to understand it, but now, this Divine Revelation undoubtedly confirmed some of Nie Yan's guesses. There were still five days before the monster siege!

Nie Yan wanted to tell his prediction to the governor of Hilton Fortress!

The governor of Hilton Fortress was a high-ranking warlord who usually didn't appear and needed to be found through special methods. Nie Yan thought for a while, he might be able to find the governor of Hilton Fortress through High Warlord Brexpeare.

As a Great Scholar, Nie Yan's words still had a certain authority. As long as the governor of Hilton Fortress believed his words, then this would be a successful prediction!

Thinking of this, Nie Yan was confident.

Soon, Nie Yan arrived at the military camp on the south side of Hilton Fortress. Surrounded by high walls, tents stretched up and down. On the street outside the high walls, there was a magnificent white building, which was a medical center.

Nie Yan walked into the white building. There were many rooms inside, each with a large number of wounded and physicians treating them. Nie Yan searched the rooms one by one, and finally found that familiar face, Physician Bravins, the old man fishing at Rando Lake!

He was bandaging the wounds of the wounded. After seeing Nie Yan, Physician Bravins showed a surprised expression and walked towards Nie Yan, saying, "Welcome, respected Demon Hunter, Great Scholar, Great Thief Nie Yan, to this place."

When Physician Bravins first met Nie Yan, Nie Yan had no titles and was just a commoner with a low level. At this time, Nie Yan already had three weighty titles. Nie Yan's achievements surprised Bravins. At this time, Nie Yan's status was already above him, and he did not dare to be disrespectful in his words.

"Mr. Bravins, hello, I'm glad to see you again." Nie Yan greeted with a smile. It was a little different from the first time he met Bravins. He didn't have to be as respectful as before.

"May I ask what you want from me?" Bravins asked.

"Mr. Bravins, I would like to ask you about something. May I ask where in Hilton Fortress sells fur and tailoring blueprints? I need to buy some rare monster fur and advanced tailoring blueprints." Nie Yan said. Bravins was a physician with a low status, but he was, after all, a native of Hilton Fortress and should know where the secret shop was.

Bravins pondered for a moment and said, "There are more than fifty shops in Hilton Fortress that specialize in selling fur, among which three shops sell the most advanced items. As for rare monster fur and advanced tailoring blueprints... Are you looking for Ignatius's Fur Shop?"

"Ignatius's Fur Shop?" Nie Yan looked at Bravins.

"Ignatius is an eccentric old man, but he has a high status in Hilton Fortress. Many high-ranking warlords like to hand over the fur they hunt to Ignatius for sale. But Ignatius's shop is in a very remote location, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it. And you also need a letter of introduction from a native of Hilton Fortress to buy equipment from him."

"That's him." Nie Yan nodded. Although he hadn't been to Hilton Fortress, he had heard some news. The person who sold fur was a short old man with a strange personality.

"The medical center is very busy, and I can't leave. I can draw a map for you. As for the letter of introduction, I can help you. I am a native here," Bravins said. He was very enthusiastic to Nie Yan, partly because Nie Yan had helped him, and partly because of Nie Yan's titles of Demon Hunter and Great Scholar.

Bravins found paper and pen from the drawer and drew a map for Nie Yan. He also wrote a letter of introduction: Respected Mr. Ignatius, I am Physician Bravins...

Nie Yan looked at the rough map drawn by Bravins. Ignatius's Fur Shop was actually in the southeast corner of Hilton Fortress, a very remote location. Ordinary players rarely walked to such a remote corner. Even if they found Ignatius's Fur Shop, they would not be able to buy anything there without a letter of introduction from a native.

With the map, Nie Yan could find the location of Ignatius's Fur Shop.

"Thank you, Mr. Bravins."

"Helping every adventurer is the duty of the natives of Hilton Fortress. Is there anything else you need?" Physician Bravins asked.

"I would like to ask another question. Where is Hilton's slave market?" Nie Yan asked.

"Dirty slave trade." Physician Bravins showed a disgusted expression and said apologetically when he looked at Nie Yan, "I'm sorry, respected Mr. Nie Yan, I'm a little excited."

Nie Yan nodded and said, "I can understand, but many times, we simply don't have the ability to stop these ugly things. You are a kind person."

"I admit that you are right. The slave market is on the west side of Hilton Fortress. There is a Death Ray Tower there, and the slave market is next to it," Physician Bravins sighed.

"Thank you for telling me these things," Nie Yan said. He finally got the exact locations of these two places. He also got the most important letter of introduction for Ignatius's Fur Shop.

"You're welcome, may the Holy Light be with you."

After Nie Yan said goodbye to Bravins, he rushed in the direction of Ignatius's Fur Shop. Before High Warlord Brexpeare returned, he wanted to do these two things well, so that after getting the reward for killing the legendary undead warlock from High Warlord Brexpeare, he could return to Carol City.
