Chapter 850: Chapter 413: City of Origin, Guild Alliance! (Double Chapter)_2
Very soon, Chen Mo was invited by five people into a tavern. The tavern’s threshold was low, and the wooden door was etched with the traces of time.
Pushing the door open, Chen Mo immediately felt a warmth rising in his heart.
Inside the tavern, the lights were bright, and ancient tapestries displaying strange patterns hung on the stone walls.
On the wooden long table, quaint cups and tableware were placed, exuding a faint wooden aroma.
By the fireplace, a group of people gathered, savoring delicious food and conversing in a peculiar language.
Seeing the five return, they immediately greeted them.
“Is this our new brother?”
Beside the fireplace, there were seven people in total, and Chen Mo unexpectedly saw a familiar figure among them.
“Oh? It’s you?”
As soon as Chen Mo said this, a black-skinned being with strange golden patterns all over laughed and raised a glass, “I knew you would surely make it to this second layer world.”
The one who spoke was Cha Latu, who had previously tested Chen Mo’s wisdom.
But this Cha Latu was clearly stronger than the one Chen Mo sensed in the lower realm.
“Senior, your aura has really changed a lot from the lower realm.” Chen Mo said with a smile.
Finally meeting a familiar face again, Chen Mo felt a bit of warmth.
Cha Latu laughed and said, “The one in the lower realm was just an avatar of mine, used specifically for tests in the Legendary Trial. That avatar only had a fraction of my strength.”
“I see.”
“Come, have a seat first. Welcome the new brother to join us, let’s have a drink together.”
After saying this, Cha Latu immediately filled a cup, and everyone else also filled their own cups, drinking heartily, yet they didn’t pour Chen Mo a glass.
After everyone finished drinking, they smiled at Chen Mo and said, “Your attributes haven’t fully evolved yet, so you shouldn’t drink the wine here, we’ll save it for you for later, hahaha. If you ever want a drink, there’s plenty of good wine.”
Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Let’s put aside the matter of the wine for now. As someone new here, I have no idea what kind of world the second layer of the Tower of Eternity is, could you enlighten me?”
“Don’t worry, you don’t need us to explain it to you. Before your attributes are fully evolved, just enjoy yourself. When the time comes, The Heavenly Path will explain it to you.”
Everyone said with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo felt even more speechless; without fully evolved attributes, he couldn’t drink the wine or eat anything, so what enjoyment was left?
It seemed like apart from wandering around the City of Origin, there was nothing else to do.
“Good brother, since it’s your first time here, you must be full of questions. Let us first introduce to you the situation of our Legendary Guild.”
“Speaking of which, I just heard you say Sun Wu is from the Source of Chaos Guild, does this mean that everyone in this second layer world is divided according to certain guild influences?”
“That’s right, the second layer of our world is generally divided into the Star System Guild Alliance and the guilds within.”
“Star System Guild Alliance? What is that?”
“Simply put, the Solar System you belong to, as well as other star systems you are hostile to, are all part of smaller systems within the Milky Way. Basically, when you get here, talents from large systems like the Milky Way gather into a Star System Guild Alliance.
For example, within our City of Origin, there is the Milky Way Guild Alliance, the Blood River Guild Alliance, the Sea of Suffering Guild Alliance, and so on, totaling ten Guild Alliances.
We are in a competitive relationship with each other, generally not getting along well.”
“I see, so the guilds within the systems are like our Legendary Guild and Sun Wu’s Source of Chaos Guild?”
“Exactly, although we belong to different guilds, we all fall under the Milky Way, so we generally are not hostile. Since we are all guilds within the same system alliance, if necessary, we may even unite to deal with members of other external guilds.”
“Is there also strong competition between guilds within the same system? From what I saw earlier, it seems like you guys don’t get along well with Sun Wu’s group?”
As soon as Chen Mo said this, one of the five people who brought him back said, “It’s not that we don’t get along with them, but rather that their Source of Chaos Guild doesn’t get along with anyone. They’re too exclusive, only recognizing beings from the Chaos Origin Land, so it’s no surprise we don’t give them a friendly attitude.”
“But judging from Sun Wu’s demeanor, he doesn’t seem to have that kind of attitude.” Chen Mo recalled his interactions with Sun Wu.
“There are indeed very few beings from the Chaos Origin Land that don’t have this feeling of detachment, but it doesn’t stop their entire group from being distant with other groups.” Cha Latu chimed in.
“So apart from the Source of Chaos Guild, are the other guilds within the system relatively harmonious?”
“You could say that, but only within the City of Origin. You must remember this.” Cha Latu said seriously.
“What do you mean?”
“There’s too much treasure and temptation in the Sea of Cosmos. Once no one is watching, even within guilds of the same system, incidents of murder and theft for treasure can occur.
So you can’t be too trusting just because someone is from a guild within your system.”
With these words, Chen Mo couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
Then Cha Latu smiled and said, “Are you thinking that under such circumstances, there’s no security even among members of the same guild?”
Clearly, it’s awkward for a newcomer to bring this up directly, and since Cha Latu brought it up, Chen Mo didn’t deny it, as he was indeed thinking about this.
If there is no security assurance between guilds within the system when alone outside, then members from the same guild might also experience situations of murder and treasure theft. How can this be prevented?
If it can’t be avoided, wouldn’t it turn the Sea of Cosmos into a world shrouded by the dark forest principle once you enter?
Finding safety would be difficult when encountering anyone.
“Rest assured, once you join the same guild, you’ll sign a guild contract together. Under the influence of the guild contract, any combat between guild members will be immediately known to everyone who signed the contract.
In such circumstances, no one dares to kill for treasure, otherwise they will not only be unable to return to the guild but also won’t be accepted into other guilds.
Because we will directly publicize this person’s demerits, and with such a bad record, no guild will want to take them in, so it’s generally unlikely for such things to happen between members of the same guild.”
Hearing this from Cha Latu, Chen Mo felt much more at ease for the moment.
As a new member, he’s most prone to situations of backstabbing, so it’s crucial to understand the situation clearly first.
After learning about the general situation of the guild, Chen Mo wasn’t in a rush to learn about the Sea of Cosmos because Cha Latu mentioned that the Heavenly Dao would clarify things, so they didn’t elaborate further.
Afterward, they introduced everyone present to Chen Mo to help him get familiar.
They also transmitted the appearance and names of those not present directly to Chen Mo.
From this, Chen Mo learned about the composition of the Legendary Guild’s members.
The Legendary Guild had a total of thirty members.
Among them, there was one president, two vice presidents, and five guild elites.
These eight were the strongest in the Legendary Guild, representing the fundamental deterrent power that allowed the Legendary Guild to occupy such a large territory in the City of Origin.
Cha Latu was one of the five elite members.
Aside from him, the other eleven people present were all regular guild members, though ordinary members were divided into one to five stars.
Five-star members were those almost approaching elite members.
One-star members were generally those with the weakest strength.
As a newcomer to the guild, Chen Mo would certainly be a one-star member upon joining. Among the eleven present, none were one-star, with the lowest being three-star, showing that their abilities were quite impressive.
After Chen Mo roughly understood the situation in this world, everyone took him on a good tour around the area controlled by the City of Origin Milky Way Guild Alliance.
There were many private lands of guilds, as well as public lands used for mutual exchanges.
In these areas, there were commercial zones, entertainment zones, martial arts zones, and so on.
These were meant to facilitate communication between different guild members, allowing them to exchange what they had and mutually advance.
Due to the vastness of the area, it took Chen Mo quite some time to see it all.
After touring the general area controlled by the City of Origin Milky Way Guild Alliance with the guidance of several seniors, Chen Mo’s attribute evolution was finally completed.
With the completion of his attribute evolution, the hint from the Heavenly Path began to sound continuously around him.
