Chapter 237 Recruit Your Army!
Li Shuyi nodded convincingly.
After Bai Xiaowen made his choice, the rules of the spiritual world continued to give prompts:
"You have selected the cut-in identity: the lord of White Rock Town. It was detected that your teammates entered the world of Kane's plane with you by forming a team, and are matching her cut-in identity..."
"The matching identity has been determined. Please choose a name for you and your teammates, and try to match the naming convention of the world of Kane."
Li Shuyi smiled and said, "I received a prompt, and it was matched as the sister of the lord of Baishi Town... You and I really have a brother-sister relationship. If you choose a name, what name are you going to use?"
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while, and said a name with a smile: "Dio Skelboom."
"Does this name have any meaning?" Li Shuyi asked curiously.
"No special meaning, it's the pseudonym I used when I was in the first plane world, the plane of Aaron." Bai Xiaowen said.
"Since the match is a sibling relationship, then I have the same surname as yours... Skelboom, this surname is really weird..."
Li Shuyi muttered a few words, and quickly determined her cut-in name: Charlotte Skelboom.
After confirming their names, the nothingness in front of them dissipated and entered the world of Kane's plane.
"...Are you sure this is the house of the lord of Baishi Town?"
Li Shuyi looked at the dilapidated wooden house with spider webs hanging in the corner and a thin layer of dust on the table. In the corner, a few mice passed by amusingly.
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "At least the area of the house is quite large, equivalent to twice the size of our villa in Tao Ranju..."
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly. A string of character data information was transmitted into his mind and turned into a big book of character illustrations, which can be read at any time.
This kind of data transmission will happen every time you use a ticket to enter the spiritual world. Moreover, if the identities of B-level tickets are more complicated, there will be more information. For example, the information transmitted to Bai Xiaowen's mind now covers the information of everyone that a young lord has known so far.
Li Shuyi also accepted some of the information. The two closed their eyes to digest for a while, and Bai Xiaowen opened them first.
"This young lord is quite attentive. It was originally passed down to his generation, and he still had some savings in the family, but he just lost it," Bai Xiaowen touched his chin, "Now in the territory, bandits are haunted, and the territorial people are almost running away. Now, the rest are basically the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. The mines and farmland are basically occupied by robbers, and the daily income is negative..."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head as he spoke, and then spent 100 power points to convert the language into the common language of the world of Kane (ancient Latin).
Although the costumes that the spirit world gave to Bai Xiaowen, the young lord, were aristocratic-style dresses, they were also patched in inconspicuous places, which was enough to show Dio Skelboom's financial difficulties. And as the lord's younger sister, Li Shuyi, the eldest lady of Baishi Town, actually wore a maid's coarse clothes, with no gold or silver ornaments all over her body...
With a creak, the door of the house was pushed open.
A big fat man squeezed in with great effort, looked up to see the two brothers and sisters Bai Xiaowen, and his impatient expressions flashed away.
"Master Dior, Miss Charlotte, don't be stunned... The sheriff of the empire has just issued a notice,
Every territory in the northwest frontier is required to recruit troops to participate in the battle of the Black Rock Line..."
When Bai Xiaowen saw this big fat man, his information automatically appeared in his mind.
Job, the housekeeper of the current Lord of White Rock.
"I see, Job,"
Bai Xiaowen moved his neck and walked to the door of the house, "Tell me about the details of the territory."
"Details?" The fat man's housekeeper Jobe was taken aback for a moment, "You...I mean, which aspect do you want to know?"
"Population, territory, mines, farmland, robbers... Tell me everything you know," Bai Xiaowen said, "I have to figure out how many people my territory can recruit."
Jobe said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Master Dior, did you just wake up today? You only have more than 100 households left, and they are all poor and lowly things that can't squeeze oil, but if they have a little ability , will leave this dangerous and barren land."
"Those shoddy fields have barely enough seeds to harvest, and the tax collected is barely enough to feed you and Miss Charlotte. There is also an iron ore in the territory, but it is occupied by ferocious black wind robbers. You are incapable of it now. Take it back."
"The sheriff's order this time calls for two fully-armored knights and 15 auxiliary soldiers with at least leather armor to participate in the battle. I did a rough calculation, and the requirements for weapons and armor alone are no less than 100. Gold coins, the cost of recruiting soldiers is more... Of course, you can also force someone to grab a group of mud legs to serve as auxiliary soldiers, as long as you have the ability."
The big fat Job finally concluded: "So, Mr. Dior, you are now on the verge of bankruptcy... You still owe me several months of wages. According to what I said, you still sold the territory to Hongye Collar. The Lord March is better, not only can I get rid of the debt, but also the obligation to recruit the army... Of course, my wages are also available."
Bai Xiaowen did not answer Jobe's words for the time being, because both he and Li Shuyi received a reminder of the rules of the spiritual world.
"[Main quest (optional): Recruit your army!] Open."
"Mission goal: Recruit two knights with elite level 3 or above, and recruit 15 fully equipped auxiliary soldiers."
"Mission Difficulty: Unknown."
"Mission period: 15 days."
"Mission reminder: The stronger the army you recruit, the higher your status in the Terran Coalition Army. You can also give up this mission, sell the territory, and explore the world of Kane as a freeman."
Bai Xiaowen calmly dismissed the big fat housekeeper Jobe, and then looked at Li Shuyi, their eyes met in amazement.
"It's actually an optional main quest? It's the first time I've encountered it!" Li Shuyi said in surprise, "Are we going to give up?"
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head.
"If we give up this quest, we will sell the territory to other lords. To become a free citizen, it is estimated that the rules of the spiritual world will regenerate the main quest for the free citizen, and it is unlikely that we will directly pass the level and explore freely. Moreover, let What I'm more interested in is the first item of the mission prompt..."
"The stronger the army that is recruited, the higher the status in the Human Race Allied Army?" Li Shuyi said, "We only stay in the world of Kane plane for 15 days. Even if a sufficient number of troops are recruited, we should not be able to keep up with the Black Rock line of defense. Defensive battle, right? Then what's the point of this reminder?")!!
