Chapter 22 Neighbor's Request for Alliance
Liu Na was surprised.
Her eyes widened especially when she arrived at the elevator entrance and was stopped by two human soldiers who were wearing cotton robes inside and chain mail outside, holding shields in their left hands, spears in their right hands, and long swords hanging on their waists.
Even Pero, the knowledgeable halfling elder who followed behind her, now had his eyes wide open, his hairy face full of disbelief.
"The human race's regular army, elite soldiers stationed in important towns of the lords!"
When Perot pushed open the fire door, his expression changed.
Perhaps as a Blue Star native, Liu Na does not understand what this set of equipment means to a lord and his troops.
But as a native of the spirit world, Pero, who had dealt with human lords before, knew very well that—
Only the regular troops under the lords would be equipped with chain mail and weapons that looked like standard equipment!
If one is a small lord among the human race in the spiritual world who manages his territory well and has his own castle, and can mobilize around 500 soldiers like this, he can be said to be a well-known force in the local area.
However, even more small lords tried their best and used their savings, loans or sold their assets desperately, but they could only support less than a hundred soldiers.
Now, this apartment is on the seventh floor, where the elevator and staircase meet.
There are actually 5 such human soldiers standing guard here.
At the same time behind.
There were also 10 young men who looked like militiamen, wearing simple cloth robes and holding long-handled sickles, patrolling over.
It also brought the same shock to Liu Na and the half-ling elder Pero from the bottom of their hearts!
"Ms. Liu Na, I think this neighbor on the seventh floor may have really obtained a lord's mark, and is a human lord."
Pero whispered a reminder to Liu Na.
"Hmm." Liu Na's eyes also showed a complicated look. She pursed her pink lips and said with a worried look: "The other party already has the Lord's Mark, so can he really take a fancy to a level 1 druid like me and cooperate with me?"
"It is precisely because the other party is a human lord that he is likely to cooperate with you, Miss Liu Na."
Pero explained: "You have the ability to make plants grow quickly, and you can also cultivate mushrooms and earthworms as food. Moreover, these are spiritual foods that have not been polluted. Compared with the food on Blue Star, which has been completely polluted by the rules of the dead and has no special effects, the effect will be better and the sense of fullness will be more sufficient. Long-term consumption can also enhance the combat effectiveness of spiritual creatures, and will not cause malaise due to frequent consumption of Blue Star food."
"Then I'll try my best to convince him." Liu Na pursed her lips and nodded.
She understood what Perot was saying.
It is also known that if the creatures in the spiritual world eat the native food of Blue Star for a long time, they will not only become sluggish, but their combat effectiveness will also decrease.
Liu Na also has her own logic.
It is just like eating food that has no nutrition and only makes you feel full. Although you feel full, you will still become malnourished over time.
Only by eating foods with magical powers from the spiritual world, such as supplementing protein, fat, and various trace elements, can you not only eat enough, but also maintain your condition, and make yourself healthier and stronger.
"Here it comes." At this time, the halfling elder Pero whispered a reminder.
Footsteps were heard at the corner of the corridor that was blocked by human guards.
Liu Na raised her head.
A young but strong man of the same age, also wearing chain mail and holding a long sword, with a handsome and resolute face, was striding towards him.
"Hello." He smiled and nodded at her in a kind manner.
"Ah, hello." Liu Na felt a little unconfident for no reason. She lowered her head slightly because her face had not seen the sun for many years, and she looked a little socially anxious. She even spoke in a slightly softer tone: "...Neighbor."
……
"It seems that Ms. Liu Na, are you the legendary spiritual professional, or a druid who is closely related to nature!?"
Shen Mu's brows raised slightly, and his tone became surprised.
He listened to his neighbor's introduction.
Just as he thought, it was indeed the guy from the fifth floor, who was called a weirdo by Geng Jun on the second floor.
I just didn't expect that this weirdo was actually a pretty girl of the same age.
Still a professional!
"I... I'm just a level 1 druid. I don't have much combat power. I can only help plants grow a little healthier."
At this time, Liu Na even lowered her head slightly when she spoke, and her tone was hesitant, as if she didn't dare to look at Shen Mu at all.
The level of social phobia is at least severe.
"Being able to become a professional is already very enviable. It is something that many people dream of." Shen Mu didn't care too much, but instead sighed with a little emotion.
In my previous life, I dreamed of becoming a professional.
After much difficulty, a spiritual mark that was suspected to be that of a professional was found in a basement, but it was snatched away by someone else.
The cowardly predecessor committed suicide directly. This also shows how precious the three words "professional" are.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen Mu, let me explain the situation on behalf of our Miss Liu Na." At this time, the half-orc elder Pero glanced at Liu Na's socially anxious appearance and sighed.
He understood Liu Na's kind to the point of weakness.
So he took the initiative to take over the conversation, and said in front of Liu Na's grateful eyes: "We live on the fifth floor, we can cultivate some mushrooms and earthworms from the spirit world, and if we make them into energy bars, they can effectively enhance the health of creatures in the spirit world. If possible, I think we can cooperate."
Perot first stated his advantages.
"Well, this is very good." Shen Mu immediately understood that this should be referring to spiritual food with "soul".
Of course, this is no longer necessary for Shen Mu now.
After all, he had a whole acre of wheat field to produce wheat.
There are also various foods rewarded by the system.
If worst comes to worst, there is still his own robber meeting point. The bankrupt merchant Nalot can buy food from the world of Mount and Blade for emergency.
Shen Mu felt that the energy bar that the half-orc mentioned was dispensable.
"He really got the Lord's Mark!"
But it was Shen Mu's appearance that shocked the half-orc elder Pero.
There are so many soldiers, at least 15 of them we have seen so far, but there is no need to worry about food problems.
It is absolutely possible to guess that the young man in front of him has obtained the lord's mark. As long as he pays the fragments of the space-time crystal core, he can summon the existing human territory from the completely shattered spiritual world crystal wall system.
It can even summon all kinds of food, crops, and even buildings that have been stored in the territory!
And this half-orc elder Pero was also sure that the young man Shen Mu already had a lot of food!
"Sir Shen Mu, I think as a lord, you will definitely have a good impression of us halflings, a lawful and kind race that is good at farming and making small handicrafts and has a stable personality."
The halfling elder Pero changed his mind at this time.
The furry face looked serious.
At the same time, he stretched out his small front paws, which were similar to claws but as flexible as his hands, pointed at Liu Na and said, "When you plant crops and cultivate trees in your territory, a high-level druid can also provide the important task of taking care of the farmland and orchards!"
"Huh?" Shen Mu was stunned, but he didn't know why this half-man suddenly said that.
"Please form an alliance with us, Lord Shen Mu. We just need to spend the day in your territory to experience some natural environments that are not polluted by the rules of the dead."
Elder Pero then stated his purpose: "And we are willing to help you and take care of your wheat fields!"
But after he finished saying this, Shen Mu's expression changed slightly.
"How did you know that I have a wheat field?"
Shen Mu never told anyone about that acre of wheat field.
In order to prevent his secret from being known by others, Shen Mu also specially arranged five Swadian light infantrymen to guard here.
The purpose was to hide the fact that even the apartment room 7001 at the end of the corridor had been turned into the main house of the base.
After all, this is one of Shen Mu’s trump cards!
"We are the most careful halflings. Miss Liuna is a druid and can sense the breath of nature."
Elder Pero knew that Shen Mu now suspected him.
So he stretched out his hand.
From its furry paws, it opened up the bit of soil and half a piece of straw that it had been tightly grasping.
They asked very seriously: "Sir Shen Mu, we are willing to obey your orders and wait for your instructions. Please let us feel the unpolluted natural atmosphere. We are willing to use everything we are good at to take care of the trivial matters in your territory for you."
Only Shen Mu remained silent.
It wasn't him who was thinking.
Instead, a new dialog box appeared right in front of Shen Mu.
Or a new temporary mission!
[Ding! The temporary task system detected an event! ]
[Temporary mission released: First alliance.]
