Chapter 73 Team Invitation
Crusades!
The fourth-tier unit of the castle faction.
They are extremely powerful beings at this level.
A crusader in full armor stood there. He was already over 185 cm tall, and with the armor, he was almost 1.9 meters tall. The combination of the sturdy armor and the two-handed sword created an absolutely overwhelming sense of pressure.
After the man leading the way walked in, he glanced at the people in the tavern, his gaze lingering briefly on Lin Mo before moving away.
He walked to the bar, took out a few gold coins, and placed them on the table.
"Boss, a beer, please."
The tavern owner poured him a drink.
The man picked up his beer, took a sip, and then turned around to look at the people in the bar.
"Gentlemen!" the man began, "I am Xu Jiang, the lord of Dawnlight Fortress. You should all have heard of me. I'm here not only for a drink, but also to find some helpers... who must be lords and heroes, of course..."
He looked at Lin Mo again: "I recently found a map to another world and plan to explore it. However, the map is only level two, which is quite dangerous, so I need help. We'll go in together and split the spoils!"
Clearly, the other party was actually there to "post a mission," and the tavern also took on this kind of business, since it was a "distribution center" for all kinds of news and intelligence.
"So, are you interested?" Xu Jiang finally laid his cards on the table, looking directly at Lin Mo and asking.
He originally came mainly to have a drink and, incidentally, to spread the word.
But unexpectedly, they encountered another lord hero.
This was an unexpected surprise for him.
At such close range, the lord heroes can sense each other's presence.
As far as he knew, several Lord Heroes had already appeared in Migratory Bird City, and he did want to explore the Level 2 Otherworld map as soon as possible, so he needed a team of Lord Heroes with some strength to go there.
Lin Mo was indeed interested.
It's not for any other reason than that at this moment, if I clear the level 2 otherworld map, I might be able to compete for the "world's number one" reward.
He wanted to go it alone, but he didn't have a map.
Obtaining this thing depends entirely on luck.
As for this "Teacher Xu", he is a good person, and he has just repaid the favor he owed him in his previous life.
"Come, sit down and let's talk in detail!" Lin Mo extended an invitation.
Xu Jiang walked over.
By this time, Sister Juan and the other women were too scared to utter a sound. They had heard of Chenguang Fortress; it was a very large territory in the area. They had never been inside, but there was a large safe zone camp outside.
She lived there too, so she naturally knew who this "Teacher Xu" was.
It was simply beyond her reach.
At the same time, she was also very surprised, thinking to herself that the person Xiaojie knew was actually a lord.
Looks like I need to find a way to curry favor with Chen Jie.
Chen Jie naturally left tactfully, but Lin Mo told her to pack up the food and take it with her. He also gave her a few gold coins to buy some medicine for Gang Ge and to wait for him at the camp.
After Chen Jie left, Lin Mo looked at Xu Jiang and reached out his hand: "Lin Mo!"
"Brother Lin, hello. May I ask where your territory is located...?"
"It's also in the migratory bird city. It was just established a couple of days ago and isn't well-known yet," Lin Mo said with a smile.
Xu Jiang smiled and shook his head: "At this time, those who can establish territories are not ordinary people. Don't underestimate yourself, little brother."
Lin Mo ordered two more drinks from the tavern owner, then said, "Teacher Xu, tell me about that otherworldly map!"
"The level 2 map is called 'The Dwarfs' Treasure'..." Teacher Xu said, "Apart from that, I don't know anything else, except that this map can be entered in a team."
Lin Mo nodded.
Level 1 map, can only be entered by one player.
Once you reach the second-level map, you can enter in a team.
You can form a team of up to five lord heroes.
However, in this case, the otherworld map has a mechanism: the more lords in the party, the higher the map difficulty, and of course, the richer the final 'reward'.
In the new world, there are many different types of otherworld maps depending on the level. Although Lin Mo didn't do very well in his previous life, he could occasionally find some treasure chests and had some gold coins. So he spent most of his days hiding in taverns to gather information or listen to all sorts of people talk.
Naturally, otherworldly maps are a topic that many people like to discuss.
Generally speaking, otherworldly maps below level three, including level three, have been the subject of much discussion, especially those with a higher probability of appearance. For example, the [Serpent's Treasure] that Lin Mo cleared was such a map, and many people know about its information and strategies.
And the [Dwarf's Treasure] happens to be the one that is discussed the most in the level 2 map.
Therefore, Lin Mo is also very familiar with this map.
If he had obtained the map on his own, he would have entered alone, but he obviously couldn't say so now, otherwise he would be disclaiming his rights.
"I've already found two helpers, but I still feel it's not enough. So, to be on the safe side, I'd like to find two more, so we can have five people in total and go in together. That would be much safer," Xu Jiang explained his plan.
Clearly, the two people he recruited before must have been his own people, so he wouldn't have to worry about his other teammates betraying him.
Lin Mo really wanted to say, "Brother, you don't know the mechanics of the otherworld map. The more lord heroes enter, the more difficult the map will become."
But it's not something he can easily remind you of.
Besides, if I remind them, then I won't have anything to do with myself anymore, right?
Besides, more people are better; the more people there are, the more the rewards will increase, which is also beneficial to oneself.
Therefore, Lin Mo didn't say anything more about it.
"Then we can sign the alliance agreement first, and when we have time, we can visit Morning Light Castle. I will do my best to be a good host," Xu Jiang said with a smile. It was clear that this Teacher Xu was very frank. Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement.
In the new world, lords can sign alliances.
In this way, players can enter each other's territories, but they cannot attack or occupy buildings, resource points, or castles controlled by the other party, nor can they control each other's troops. In addition, they can view the location of allied territories on the "Lord's Map" in the Internal Affairs Hall, but only within a hundred kilometers.
The territory of the underworld will eventually be known, so Lin Mo is not worried about that. As for the territory in North America, it is too far away, and even if an alliance is signed, they will not be able to see it.
Seeing Lin Mo nod, Xu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. He was willing to sign the alliance, so at least he wouldn't have to worry about the other party stabbing him in the back at a crucial moment.
After all, at this time, everyone would be wary of each other.
Once you sign the alliance, you gain protection from the 'rules'.
However, there are several levels of covenants.
Generally, there are two types: "individual covenants" and "chain covenants".
The former refers to a contract between two lords, while the latter can be understood as follows: if one of the lords has already formed an alliance with another lord, then signing a contract with any one of those lords is equivalent to signing a contract with the other lord as well.
On this point, Lin Mo naturally chose the former.
He wasn't familiar with the other people.
Moreover, who knows, he might take a fancy to someone's territory one day, conquer it, and sign an alliance with them. That would be like locking his own hands and feet, and Lin Mo would never do such a thing.
