“Then who should we look for?” Yao Yao asked, thinking that although her classmate was in the Sacred Roman Empire, there was no direct conflict between him and Nie Yan, so it might be possible to ease the tension. Perhaps she could introduce them to each other in the future, but not today.

“I know someone from the Sacred Roman Empire named Huang Hun. He's an arcane mage with 52 spell damage. I don't know if he's free today, though. They've even cleared the Black Flame Forest and are preparing to go to the Augma Te Muddy Swamp. Getting him to come to the Treant Forest might be difficult. I'll send him a message and ask,” the shield warrior Bai Kai Shui said after a moment's thought.

After a while, Yu Lan asked, "Bai Kai Shui, how is it? Is he willing to come?"

"He agreed," Bai Kai Shui said excitedly. It was a pleasant surprise. He had teamed up with that friend to grind monsters a few times, having only met a few times. The fact that he agreed to come was a great favor.

"That makes twenty people. We can leave when he arrives," Nie Yan nodded, thinking it was quite a coincidence that it was someone from the Sacred Roman Empire.

"Bai Kai Shui, you're really popular. You can even find someone from the Sacred Roman Empire's elite team," Chen Bo complimented, glancing at Nie Yan and Tang Yao. If they cleared the Treant Forest smoothly, Nie Yan and Tang Yao might often participate in their team activities in the future. He had to find a way to drive away these two uninvited guests, so he wanted to win over more people.

"It's just that my friend is giving me face," Bai Kai Shui said, feeling flattered.

"He's a real expert. He's about to go to the Augma Te Muddy Swamp, so he must have cleared the Treant Forest. He might as well be the leader," Chen Bo glanced at Nie Yan and Tang Yao.

Chen Bo's behavior annoyed Tang Yao. If Nie Yan hadn't stopped him, he would have already lost his temper.

"If he has cleared the Treant Forest, it wouldn't be bad to have him as the leader," Nie Yan replied nonchalantly.

"You know you're incapable, right? If you knew you couldn't do it, then don't show off," Chen Bo said unforgivingly, not knowing when to stop.

"Chen Bo..." Yu Lan frowned and scolded, her tone quite displeased.

Seeing Yu Lan angry, Chen Bo mumbled a few times and stopped talking.

After a while, a white light flashed in the town of Trek, and a figure appeared in the teleportation array. It was an arcane mage wearing a black arcane robe, about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. The black robe was covered with strange runes, making him look mysterious and solemn. Nie Yan recognized at a glance that it was the Dark Winter Set for arcane mages, currently the top equipment. The Dark Winter Set and Tang Yao's Pyrochaser were at the same level, but the Pyrochaser was more suitable for elemental mages, while the Dark Winter Set was more suitable for arcane mages, so for arcane mages, the Pyrochaser was not as good as the Dark Winter Set.

"Hey, Brother Huang Hun, long time no see," Bai Kai Shui greeted.

"Long time no see," Huang Hun also greeted Bai Kai Shui, glanced at everyone, and said, "Hello everyone." When Huang Hun spoke, there was a faint arrogance in his voice. He came from the Sacred Roman Empire's elite team, which was not on the same level as Yu Lan's small team. If he hadn't been free today, as the team was preparing to enter the Augma Te Muddy Swamp, and if Bai Kai Shui wasn't a good person with some friendship with him, he wouldn't have bothered to come.

"This is our leader, Yu Lan," Bai Kai Shui introduced Yu Lan.

Huang Hun nodded at Yu Lan and smiled, "I didn't expect your leader to be a beauty. Hello, beauty." Huang Hun greeted Yu Lan. After all, he had seen the world, and he didn't lose his composure when he saw a beauty like Yu Lan, appearing polite and humorous.

Yu Lan nodded in response, "Hello." Huang Hun had the demeanor of a real expert.

Chen Bo moved closer to Bai Kai Shui, wanting Bai Kai Shui to help introduce him. Huang Hun saw Nie Yan behind everyone, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards Nie Yan.

"I didn't expect Brother Nie Yan to be here," Huang Hun said in surprise.

"You are?" Nie Yan pondered for a moment, searching his memory, and then remembered that day in Link Town, behind Half-Asleep Fox, there seemed to be such a person.

"You don't know me, but I know you. Our guild leader invited you before. That day in Link Town, I was standing behind the guild leader. Brother Nie Yan has great skills, tripping the Li Ma Heng Dao at a critical moment," Huang Hun said, his face beaming when he mentioned Nie Yan.

Hearing Huang Hun's words, everyone in the team cast curious glances. What was Nie Yan's background? He even knew the guild leader of the Sacred Roman Empire. As for Li Ma Heng Dao, he seemed to be the guild leader of Dark Slaughter. The people Nie Yan came into contact with all had such big backgrounds.

"You know Brother Nie Yan?" Bai Kai Shui asked with a slightly surprised expression.

"It's more than just knowing him. Brother Nie is now a celebrity in our Sacred Roman Empire. Our guild leader invited him to go to the Augma Te Muddy Swamp together, but Brother Nie Yan offered harsh conditions, allowing him to choose all the thief equipment. None of our guild members dare to talk to our guild leader like that," Huang Hun said with great interest. He was a straightforward person and didn't hide his admiration for Nie Yan at all.

Everyone in the team looked at each other. What kind of person was Half-Asleep Fox? He was the guild leader of the Sacred Roman Empire, a legendary figure. He invited Nie Yan to go to the Augma Te Muddy Swamp together, and Nie Yan even demanded conditions. It was clear that Half-Asleep Fox was begging Nie Yan!

Half-Asleep Fox was a guild leader, so could his judgment be wrong?

Didn't that mean that Nie Yan was a god-level figure that various elite teams were trying to get? Looking at it that way, the conditions Nie Yan offered to join their team in the Treant Forest were considered light.

Huang Hun was from the Sacred Roman Empire, so his words should be true.

"Yao Yao, you've invited a great god for our team," Yu Lan joked.

Yao Yao raised her eyebrows. She also felt flattered.

Chen Bo didn't expect Nie Yan to have such a big background. Knowing that he was not on the same level as Nie Yan, he was like a wilted eggplant, deflated. He stayed on the side sulking, and a vicious thought arose in his heart. He must make Nie Yan pay the price.

When the team members looked at Nie Yan, their eyes flashed with a strange light, and they speculated about Nie Yan's background.

Tang Yao was even more elated, nudging Nie Yan with his elbow and whispering, "You're good, kid. You're hiding deep. When did you get to know the guild leader of the Sacred Roman Empire?"

"Yesterday," Nie Yan said calmly. Respect was not given by others, but earned by oneself. To be honest, if he didn't have the skills, Half-Asleep Fox's respect would be useless. His goal was still to lead the team to clear the Treant Forest first.

However, what he wanted to try was the expert difficulty that no team dared to touch easily!

"Everyone's here, let's go," Nie Yan said, walking towards the outside of the town.

"Why is Brother Nie Yan still doing the Treant Forest dungeon?" Huang Hun asked. Logically speaking, with Nie Yan's strength, he didn't need to waste time on such a low-level dungeon.

"I need the Featherfall Gem from the Treant Forest, and there are some top-quality thief equipment in the Treant Forest, maybe one or two pieces will drop," Nie Yan said. Anyway, everyone would know in the end, so there was no need to hide it. His impression of Huang Hun was quite good.
