When they arrived, they saw a group of demonized creatures called Scythe Monsters attacking the fortress of Bigsas. The group stood in the distance and watched the battle.
Bigsas's men had experience in dealing with this kind of monster and easily blocked it.
When the battle was over, a group of players cheered and rushed out to collect the spoils. Lin Xiao asked his subordinates to stay outside, and he and his girlfriend took Sven and the Star Mage into the fortress of Bigsas.
Glancing at the two men behind him, Bigsas suddenly stopped and asked in shock:
"Are both of your men Lord templates?"
I just realized it now! It's a bit late.
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded,
"Yes, I was lucky enough to complete a special and unique mission and obtained two permissions that can be exchanged for lord templates."
"."
Bigsas's face was full of disbelief.
Lin Xiao didn't care whether he believed it or not, and specifically added that this was the only mission to stop him from asking.
It can be seen that after discovering that he had two subordinates with lord templates, Bigsas' attitude became better than before, and he even took him to visit his fortress.
Well, I also want to show off.
Bigsas's fortress is called Alcolon Arena. It is a level one fortress, but I heard from him that it is not far from being upgraded to a level two fortress.
According to the default rules, there needs to be a certain distance between player fortresses, and there is a default sphere of influence.
The broken floating land they were on was called Bunar, which covered an area of millions of square kilometers. However, the entire Alcoron ruins only accounted for about one-fifth of the entire floating land, located on the east side of the floating land. The Alcoron Arena was located in the center of the ruins. The default sphere of influence was the entire Alcoron ruins. If other players wanted to build a fortress on the Bunar floating land, they were not allowed to build it within the ruins, otherwise it would be a provocation and a hostile act. He had sufficient reasons to directly attack the other party.
Just like in the game, there are no two novice villages next to each other.
Perhaps in order to make friends with Lin Xiao, Bigsas told Lin Xiao a surprising piece of news when he mentioned these things:
"Someone has discovered the fortress of the Son of Nightmare and traces of individual players in this void storm. Based on the traces of the Son of Nightmare that have been discovered, it is inferred that the Son of Nightmare has also entered this outer domain in large numbers, but in another area."
"We infer that this huge floating land of the void storm should be a buffer zone between the two large areas. Not only do we need to face various dangers in the foreign land, but we also need to face the challenge of the Son of Nightmare."
This news is very timely, and Lin Xiao expressed his sincere gratitude.
There is a row of four portals in Bigsas's fortress, two of which are lit up with light. According to Bigsas, these two light gates are the two most valuable resources in his hands. One is the five-person copy of the Alcolon Crypt, which includes two versions of level 65 and level 70.
Behind the other light gate is an independent space, which contains a level 75 enhanced elite BOSS. After killing it, there is a very small chance that a large flying mount will drop.
Flying mounts are not rare. They are sold in the Expedition Fortress. As long as you reach level 70 and your reputation reaches Revered, you can buy one.
But a normal flying mount can only seat one person, while the flying mount produced here in Bigsas can seat five people. The value of it soared suddenly, enough to become the most valuable resource in his hands.
As long as this fortress develops, and players continue to come here in the future, the stockpiled large flying mounts will become valuable.
Two days later, Lin Xiao bid farewell to Bigsas and left the Alcolon Arena, heading north along the map.
According to the markings on the map, Bunar Floating Land and several nearby broken floating lands of different sizes have already been divided up by other legion players. If he wants to find the ownerless ones, he must go to other broken floating lands deep in the void, which requires crossing the twisted void between the floating lands.
Over thousands of years, the remaining indigenous people have already established a complete way to cross the floating land, and there is more than one way.
One is the teleportation spell, which teleports from a fixed node to a fixed node on other floating lands.
The other is to travel across the void on a large magic ship.
The former is more stable, as the nodes are established by the neutral force Star Consortium in the void. It can be said to be absolutely safe, but it requires a certain currency unique to the Star Consortium, which requires completing some tasks or directly exchanging resources.
The latter has certain risks. After all, when traveling through the twisting void, it is easy to encounter some demonic creatures, or bandits in the void, such as astral raiders.
Yes, the Star Raiders and the Star Consortium are from the same race, except that one is a businessman and the other specializes in robbery. The two are mortal enemies.
I heard from Bigsas that you can open the reputation of both forces, but only one. When you open the reputation of one, the reputation of the other force will automatically become negative. You cannot have both.
The initial reputation of the Star Consortium is neutral, and you can slowly gain reputation through trading or completing the tasks they issue.
The Void Raider is a bit more difficult. You will be attacked before you activate your reputation, as you have an Initial Cold Reputation. Even if you activate it, you will still be attacked in certain areas. You must have a Friendly Reputation to avoid being attacked.
Lin Xiao hasn't decided which way to go yet, so he'll go over and take a look at the situation first.
We took the road marked on the map. Bigsas would send out patrols every day, and there were very few monsters on the road.
It took several days to reach the Bunar Node, a neutral town built by the Star Realm Consortium. From afar, I saw a group of tall humanoid creatures covered in silver light, whose faces could not be seen clearly, floating past.
Yes, it is floating, with its feet not touching the ground. When it moves, it appears two or three meters away in a flash, but it will leave an illusion that lasts for one or two seconds at the original place. It is very interesting.
The name above their heads clearly told Lin Xiao that these were guards from the Star Boundary Consortium, all of them were level 70, elite templates.
A huge team appeared near the node town. The Star Guards did not pay any attention to them passing by, and the town allowed them to enter.
As soon as I entered the town, I saw a huge exotic-style metal building like a stadium in the center of the town. From the hollow top in the center, a thick beam of light shot straight into the sky thousands of meters high. From time to time, blood-red lightning could be seen exploding around the light beam, and the rumbling sound was endless.
There are many spirits from the Star Consortium in the town, many of them have golden exclamation marks above their heads, which means you can receive missions from them.
Lin Xiao asked his girlfriend and his men to wait in the open space, and he walked towards the huge metal building with two guards, intending to ask how much Star Consortium currency would be needed for the teleportation, and to open up the reputation of this force.
As one of the most powerful neutral forces in the void, we will inevitably have dealings with them in the future, and our reputation must be improved.
Just as he arrived at the gate of this giant building which probably covered tens of thousands of square meters, the gate suddenly opened and a three-meter-tall giant beast walked out with heavy steps. Lin Xiao's heart moved and he looked up subconsciously, and saw a humanoid man with fine scales on his body and head, and whiskers shaking back and forth on his cheeks and chin sitting on the back of the giant beast, looking down at him.
"Son of Nightmare!"
The mortal enemy from civilization made them recognize each other's identity at a glance, and they couldn't help but develop the desire to kill.
This is a Son of Nightmare who is at level 71 and also a legion player. Hundreds of his subordinates followed him in a line, nearly twice as many as Lin Xiao.
Before Lin Xiao set out, he had three or four hundred subordinates, but they suffered continuous losses along the way, and now there are only a little over three hundred left.
The subordinates of this Nightmare Son also come from different races, most of which have certain similarities with the race of Nightmare Son himself.
They could not engage in battle in the Star Realm Consortium, and both he and the Son of Nightmare knew this, so after staring at each other for a while, the Son of Nightmare left. He entered the building and found the person in charge of the Star Realm Consortium here, a virtual merchant named Cazale.
Star Realm Consortium is their external name. In fact, the main members of Star Realm Consortium come from a race called Void Spirits, who are said to be from a distant world.
Like other Void Elves, at least on the surface, there is no difference in their appearance. One can only tell from their names and appearances that this Void Elves merchant named Kazare is trading with another dwarf NPC.
After the transaction was completed, he looked up and saw Lin Xiao. He clearly felt that he was stunned for a moment. Although he could not see his face, there was a ball of silver light wrapped inside the silver robe, so he could not see his face clearly, but he could clearly sense that his emotions were a little strange.
Kazare looked Lin Xiao up and down several times before asking,
"Excuse me, but you don't seem to be a human?"
Lin Xiao nodded:
"I come from a special race, not a human race."
Kazare said with great interest,
"If you don't mind, maybe you can come in and sit down. How many people are there in your race?"
Lin
Xiao hesitated for a moment, not quite sure about the purpose of this question. After thinking for a while, he asked,
"Before I answer, can you tell me if there is anything special about my race?"
"sure."
Kazare entered the house, snapped his fingers, and the kettle on the table automatically poured him a glass of water. He said,
"My people once saw a high-ranking race that was very similar to you. It was a servant race of a great being."
At this point, one could sense that Cazale seemed a little uneasy, and even asked cautiously:
"I wonder if your race is that race?"
A high-ranking race that serves a great being?
Lin Xiao's first reaction was that it was referring to the servant race created by the human master of this Star Soul Crystal Wall system.
He found it difficult to answer this question.
Strictly speaking, he can answer yes or no.
Normally speaking, no, but they came here at the request of the human overlord to help him defeat the nightmare overlord, so in that sense they are connected, so to speak.
But this is only theoretically speaking. He doesn't know the current situation, so he doesn't dare to say anything, lest he be dragged into some mess. So his answer is:
"Your Excellency may be mistaken. My race does not serve any great being."
"is that so!"
Cazale was a little disappointed, but from his tone he seemed not to believe it.
