Li Shuyi nodded his head in conviction.
After Bai Xiaowen made his choice, the rules of the spiritual realm continued to give notifications.
"You have chosen your entry identity: Lord of White Stone Town. It has been detected that your teammate has entered the Cain Bitwall with you through a teaming method. Matching her entry identity … "
"The matching identity has been confirmed. Please choose a name for you and your teammate, and try to match the naming habits of the Cain Bitwall. "
Li Shuyi smiled and said, "I received a notification that I've been matched with the sister of the Lord of White Stone Town … You and I are really fated to be siblings. What name are you going to use? "
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said a name with a smile, "Dior S Kail Bloom."
"Does this name have any meaning?" Li Shuyi asked curiously.
"There's no special meaning. It's a pseudonym I used when I wandered into the first bitwall, the Aaron Bitwall," Bai Xiaowen said.
"Since we're matched as siblings, I want to have the same surname as you … S Kail Bloom, this surname is really a bit strange …"
Li Shuyi muttered a few words and quickly confirmed her entry name: Charlotte S Kail Bloom.
After confirming the names, the nothingness in front of them dissipated, and they entered the Cain Bitwall.
"… Are you sure this is the house of the Lord of White Stone Town?"
Li Shuyi looked at the shabby wooden house. There were cobwebs hanging in the corners, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the table. In the corner, there were a few mice passing by to join in the fun.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "At least the area of the house is still very large. It's equivalent to twice the size of our villa in Taoran Restaurant …"
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly. A string of character information was transmitted into his mind and turned into a character illustration book that could be flipped through at any time.
This kind of information transmission would happen every time a ticket was used to enter the spiritual realm. Moreover, there would be more information if the identity of a B-level ticket was more complicated. For example, the information that was being transmitted to Bai Xiaowen's mind now covered the information of all the people that the young lord knew up until now.
Li Shuyi also received some of the information. The two of them closed their eyes and digested it for a while. Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes first.
"This young lord is quite fickle. Originally, when it came to his generation, the family still had some savings, but he just squandered it all." Bai Xiaowen rubbed his chin. "Now the territory is full of bandits, and most of the people have fled. The remaining people are basically the old, weak, sick, and disabled. The mines and farmlands are basically occupied by bandits. Our daily income is negative … "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head as he spoke. Then, he spent 100 Psionic Points to convert his language into the common language of the Cain Plane (ancient Latin).
The spiritual realm gave Bai Xiaowen, the young lord's illusionary clothes. Although they were aristocratic clothes, there were also patches in inconspicuous places. This was enough to show that Dior Kail Bloom was poor. As the lord's sister, Li Shuyi, the young lady of White Stone Town, was actually wearing a maid's coarse clothes. There was not a single gold or silver ornament on her body.
With a creak, the door of the house was pushed open.
A big fat man squeezed in with difficulty. When he looked up and saw Bai Xiaowen and his sister, an impatient look flashed across his face.
"Young Master Dior, Miss Charlotte, don't be in a daze … The Empire's security officer has just issued a notice, asking every territory in the northwest border to recruit troops to participate in the battle of the Black Boulder Defense Line …"
When Bai Xiaowen saw the big fat man, his information automatically appeared in his mind.
Job, the butler of the current lord of White Stone Town.
"I understand, Job."
Bai Xiaowen stretched his neck and walked to the door of the house. "Tell me the details of the territory."
"Details?" The big fat butler, Job, was slightly stunned. "You … I mean, what do you want to know?"
"Population, territory, mines, farmland, bandits … tell me everything you know," Bai Xiaowen said. "I have to figure out how many people my territory can recruit."
Job said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Young Master Dior, did you just wake up today? There are only a hundred or so households left in your territory. They are all poor things that can't be squeezed out of them. If they have a little ability, they will leave this dangerous and barren land. "
"Those inferior fields don't even produce enough seeds, and the taxes collected are barely enough for you and Miss Charlotte to eat. There is also an iron mine in the territory, but it is occupied by the ferocious Black Wind bandits. You have no ability to take it back now. "
"This time, according to the order of the sheriff, White Stone Town needs to recruit two fully armored knights and 15 auxiliary soldiers with at least leather armor to participate in the battle. I have roughly calculated that the weapons and armor alone require no less than a hundred gold coins, and the cost of recruiting soldiers is even higher … Of course, you can also forcibly send a group of people to a group of bumpkins as auxiliary soldiers, as long as you have the ability. "
The big fat Job finally concluded. "So, Young Master Dior, you are now on the verge of bankruptcy … You still owe me several months of wages. According to what I said, it is better for you to sell the territory to Lord March of the Red Leaf Territory. Not only can you avoid the debt, but also the obligation to recruit an army … Of course, my wages will be settled. "
Bai Xiaowen did not answer Job for the time being, because he and Li Shuyi both received a notification from the spiritual world.
[Main Mission (Optional): Recruit your army!] Activate.
[Mission Objective: Recruit two knights with the strength of elite level 3 and above, and recruit 15 fully equipped auxiliary soldiers.]
[Mission Difficulty: Unknown.]
[Mission Time Limit: 15 days.]
[Mission Hint: The stronger the army you recruit, the higher your position in the human army will be. You can also give up the mission, sell the territory, and explore the Cain Plane World as a free person.]
Bai Xiaowen quietly sent the big fat butler Job away, then looked at Li Shuyi, and the two of them looked at each other in surprise.
"It is an optional main mission? This is the first time I have seen it! "Li Shuyi said in surprise." Do we have to give up? "
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"If we give up this mission, we will have to sell the territory to other lords. If we become free people, the spiritual world will probably give us a new main mission for free people. It is unlikely that we will be able to pass it directly and explore freely. Moreover, I am more interested in the first notification of the mission … "
