Edminsson was snoring softly, looking like he would sleep for a long time.

Nie Yan was a little anxious. He didn't know how long it would take for Edminsson to wake up.

Did he have to wait here until Edminsson woke up?

After standing for a few minutes, he couldn't stand it anymore. His time was precious. He could level up quite a bit in that amount of time.

*Might as well wake Edminsson up,* Nie Yan thought. He took a few steps forward, and as he got closer to Edminsson, a smell of sweat wafted over, causing him to frown. The smell was terrible, like a pair of socks that hadn't been changed in months.

At this moment, probably no player could have any good feelings towards Edminsson.

Edminsson was as scruffy as a beggar. He really couldn't understand how the Royal Library of the Greenland Empire could hire such an NPC as the library administrator.

Nie Yan also looked depressed. The smell was too strong. He had better wake Edminsson up quickly, finish his business, and leave. But just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly stopped, thinking of something, and stepped back.

Every NPC set up by Conviction had its own unique characteristics. Even though Edminsson was so scruffy, he was, after all, so knowledgeable, knowing more than two hundred languages. Maybe his status in the Greenland Empire was even higher than his. Would it be a bit abrupt for him to just go up and wake Edminsson up?

His lack of understanding of Edminsson made him hesitate.

Nie Yan carefully examined himself. He couldn't be disrespectful in his words to any NPC in Conviction. This was the basic quality of a top player, because every NPC, no matter how humble or weak, could bring you huge benefits. Many opportunities were often missed because of your inadvertent disrespect.

Retreating to a distance of about two or three yards from Edminsson, Nie Yan continued to wait, his mood much calmer than before.

The previous impetuosity slowly faded away, and Nie Yan couldn't help but chuckle. He had been reborn, but he still hadn't learned to be calm.

Time passed, minute by minute, ten minutes, fifteen minutes.

Nie Yan was about to leave and come back in an hour when Edminsson opened his sleepy eyes, stretched, and yawned. His blurry eyes fell on Nie Yan, and he immediately stood up in surprise.

"Respected Mr. Nie Yan, hello." Edminsson greeted him timidly. His trembling movements showed his nervousness at this time.

In terms of status, he and Nie Yan were too far apart. Nie Yan had a series of high-level titles such as Great Scholar and Demon Hunter, while Edminsson was just a small administrator of the Royal Library, without any爵位 (jue wei, title of nobility). Even a commoner could bully him.

The difference in status made him dare not disrespect Nie Yan in any way.

Seeing Edminsson's performance, Nie Yan could be sure that Edminsson had no status in the Greenland Empire.

"Hello, Mr. Edminsson, the thing is, I want to ask you something." Nie Yan said. Although he knew that Edminsson had a low status, his tone was still quite polite.

"Respected Mr. Nie Yan, how long have you been waiting here? I am very sorry. If you need anything, please tell me and I will do it immediately." Edminsson said. He was like an ordinary commoner in the Greenland Empire, afraid of power and careful in his movements.

When players saw them so timid and fearful, they would definitely not give them a good look. But Nie Yan had experienced the previous thinking and did not show a disgusted expression. Instead, he smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Edminsson, the thing is, I need you to help me identify some words." He took out the Book of Alexia's Runes from his backpack, which was filled with tadpole-like, unrecognizable characters.

Nie Yan's humble tone made Edminsson a little moved. Since he became the administrator of language materials in the Royal Library, no player or NPC had ever treated him as politely as Nie Yan. Everyone bossed him around, and he could only swallow his anger. Only Nie Yan used honorifics when speaking, and his eyes were a little red as he tremblingly took the Book of Runes from Nie Yan's hand.

"Respected Mr. Nie Yan, this is Elven script, a script used by an ancient tribe that spread in the desolate highlands. They are the creators of Pandora's Box. This scroll of runes should be a synthesis recipe." Edminsson said, his voice a little hoarse.

"Recipe?" Nie Yan's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, I can't understand them for the time being. I need to find some information. Please wait a moment." Edminsson said respectfully.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Edminsson." Nie Yan nodded.

Nie Yan's politeness moved him greatly. Edminsson glanced at Nie Yan gratefully and walked towards the bookshelf in the distance, moving the books on the shelf and searching.

Seeing Edminsson's expression, Nie Yan was thoughtful. Even if he encountered those low-status NPCs in the future, he should be polite. With his current status in the Greenland Empire, if he was approachable, which NPCs would dare not do their best for him?

While he was pondering, Nie Yan suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked down at his character status and found that an attribute had been added: Humility.

Humility refers to maintaining an equal attitude when encountering people of lower status than oneself.

This system prompt surprised Nie Yan. He didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

He counted all the current character statuses, and there were already seven in total, including Justice, Courage, Benevolence, Honesty, Sacrifice, Perseverance, and the Humility he had just acquired.

Seven, what other character statuses are needed to complete the set? What kind of reward will there be after completing the set?

Nie Yan couldn't help but speculate in his heart. These character statuses seemed very mysterious. He had no clue how to collect the rest for the time being. Each of these character statuses was hard-earned. Who knew when he would get the next one. He could only rely on luck.

He was fascinated, and while he was distracted, Edminsson walked over with a thick, worn book. He held the Book of Runes and began to translate, comparing it with the words above.

Because he had obtained a new character status, Nie Yan's mood was much better, and he also had a little more goodwill towards Edminsson. If it weren't for this old man, he wouldn't have gotten this character status. It was worth waiting so long just now.

Edminsson translated the words on the Book of Runes word by word. Nie Yan looked at the translated words and found that it was actually a synthesis method.

Using over thirty kinds of rare gems, including bright green emeralds and sky blue sapphires, plus the Book of Runes, he could synthesize a magic-conducting instrument, the Rune Magic Orb.

It's actually a magic-conducting instrument!

Nie Yan couldn't hide the joy in his heart. Players now may not have heard of magic-conducting instruments, because players didn't get them until they were level 150 or 160 in the later stages. Magic-conducting instruments were already considered legendary items, slightly inferior to divine objects. They were off-hand equipment used by magic导师 (mo dao shi, magic导师), and each magic导师 was only allowed to own one magic-conducting instrument. Used with a staff, it could exert great power.

Some magic-conducting instruments could guide the casting of a powerful magic, and some magic-conducting instruments could provide powerful magic power to the magic导师. If a magic导师 had a magic-conducting instrument as off-hand equipment, it could increase his strength several times. In his previous life, very few people could own magic-conducting instruments.

"Respected Mr. Nie Yan, this is the complete content of the Book of Runes." Edminsson said respectfully, handing the Book of Runes to Nie Yan with both hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Edminsson, you have helped me a lot." Nie Yan thanked him.

"You are a respectable person. It is my lifelong honor to do these things for you." Edminsson said solemnly.

Nie Yan smiled, glanced at the Book of Runes, and knew he still needed to accumulate and collect the many gems above little by little. What the final magic-conducting instrument would look like could only be seen at that time. Any magic-conducting instrument was very powerful; this was the consensus of the players.

It was translated without learning any language, which saved a lot of money. It would cost a lot of time and money to learn this small tribal language, and it might not be useful in the future, so it was not cost-effective.

Nie Yan said goodbye to Edminsson and walked out of the Royal Library. He looked at the time, and it was almost time to go offline.

He listed all the gems needed in the Book of Runes on a list, sent it to Guo Huai to collect, and also released a collection task in the Assassin Alliance.

It would be much more convenient to release a task in the Assassin Alliance if he encountered something that couldn't be collected. The Assassin Alliance now had a total of 110,000 professional player members, with many high-level players. It was not simple to help find something, as long as Nie Yan gave enough money!

Niao Bu Sheng Dan (Bird-Shit) also often released tasks in the Assassin Alliance to collect various raw materials, which often collected many very rare raw materials, which greatly helped the pharmacists of the Starry Night Potion Shop.

The Assassin Alliance was a very powerful force, and there was still a lot of power that had not been tapped. Nie Yan began to think about how to make better use of the Assassin Alliance.

Nie Yan was about to go offline when Guo Huai suddenly sent him a very explosive message. Angel Wing was killed once by Ying Sha. The Angel Corps was provoked by Ying Sha. The Angel Corps and the Century Financial Group were sending people everywhere to hunt down Ying Sha. In addition, the Dark Undying Studio under Ying Sha had fully sided with the Century Financial Group, and Ying Sha had completely become a stray dog.

Nie Yan was not surprised that Ying Sha could successfully assassinate Angel Wing. Ying Sha's skills were at the same level as Wang Zhe Tian Xia (King Under Heaven), sun and others. In addition, Angel Wing had no defense against Ying Sha, so it was normal to be assassinated. Ying Sha actually dared to assassinate Angel Wing, which must have angered the Century Financial Group. It was not surprising that the Dark Undying Studio would defect with the Century Financial Group's powerful financial resources.

Ying Sha really kept his promise and completed their first agreement! Nie Yan thought, and also had a trace of admiration for Ying Sha. Ying Sha was a man who kept his promises!
