Chapter 143: The Twelve Knights of the Round Table (Part 2)
After Ling Chen chose to attend the Round Table Knights Conference, he saw another gate appearing in front of him. The door was golden and ten meters high. He had asked the manager of the Civilization Boat before that this height marked the level of the Civilization Gate. Different levels of gates can only lead to different levels of battle worlds of different levels. That is to say, only the higher the level of battle world can the higher the authority, of course, the higher the difficulty and entry requirements.
When an entrant wants to increase his authority but finds that the battle world he can enter cannot be upgraded, he must upgrade his civilization key, and the improvement of the civilization key requires finding a new key to merge with it. In the past life, humans had to select talents widely to increase the chance of finding it in order to find the key to higher-level civilization.
When Ling Chen saw this, he knew that both Baolai and Wang Hao’s level of civilization gate were lower than his own. Of course, this was also related to their just beginning to explore the Civilization Boat.
But Ling Chen has not seen what the Civilization Boat looks like. This question may have to be known until he has higher authority.
Of course he didn't have time to consider these issues now. He pushed open the golden door and walked in.
Just a flash of kung fu, he saw a Western-style rotunda appear in front of him, with dozens of marble columns supporting the high dome, and a striking large round table in the middle, with twelve high-backed chairs neatly arranged around the round table.
One of them was sitting upright on a high-back chair. He was wearing a tie and a suit. It was Baolai, and he was dressed like a completely different person from the last time Ling Chen saw him.
Seeing Ling Chen coming in, Baolai stood up and bowed to him, "Welcome to the roundtable, Second Knight,"
"This is my honor, Lord First Knight"
Then the two looked at each other, laughed loudly, and then sat down face to face.
"Ha, although these white-skins' things look awkward, they are indeed very useful. In the battle world I have come into contact with, there are very few people who can produce such relatively fair team contracts, and it is too terrible to exchange them from the boat of civilization." Baolai explained to Ling Chen why he used the team contract "The Knights of the Twelve Round Tables".
"In ancient China, there was also a tradition of republic deliberation, but it was time to trace the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors." Ling Chen sat down on a chair and echoed casually. He could guess some of the purpose of Baolai's convening a knight meeting, but he had to say more.
The two chatted for a few words and quickly turned the topic to the formal aspect.
"Last time you borrowed the 500 people from me, I want to say sorry. Some hidden tasks are too difficult, and they have to fill in the lives of people naked. It is very different from regular battles. Your dead soldiers are indeed brave, but they also have flaws. They are essentially ordinary people. In some special scenes, they lose my protection and are easily targeted and killed, but none of them come back. I am too careless." Baolai has never valued the little pawns. He only respects and tolerate strong people who can be on par with him. But those people are Ling Chen's previous subordinates after all, and he wants to apologize for his face.
"Well, there is no way to do this. No matter how well they are trained, they can only be ordinary people before I get the basic authority of the Civilization Boat," Ling Chen understood the problem that Baolai mentioned. In fact, those intelligent replicas, as essential soul fragments, now have basic authority, but the upper limit of spiritual power is only 1 unit. If you encounter opponents with the same authority, you will still suffer a loss if you compete for consumption.
"Well, but now Brother Ling has the basic authority of the Civilization Boat, and they can also slowly cultivate it. Such a loyal and easy-to-use subordinate will spend a lot of effort to cultivate it. I am really envious of people." Ling Chen immediately understood the meaning of Bao's words.
The person who used to lend him was to him, and if there was still a surplus, he would still have to pay it back, so it would be a pity to use Baolai. Just like generals borrowing troops from each other, it would be consumed if consumed. Of course, it would not be pity to use the borrowed troops.
In fact, even if Ling Chen said to give it to Baolai, Baolai would not train those people specifically. After all, he saw that those people absolutely obey orders. Even if they were well trained, it was very likely that Ling Chen would turn back at the order. Although he and Ling Chen get along well now, they would still not be the sucker. In comparison, his own subordinates have been together for many years, and although they cannot be as brave as Ling Chen's subordinates, they have at least real feelings for him. Even if they may be betray him, someone has provided enough price to **, or they are threatened enough to happen.
"These people have great flaws. Of course, they are invincible to deal with ordinary people, but they are very limited to dealing with people with spiritual cultivation. Their minds have been specially trained and they have lost the emotions and spirit of normal people to perform like this. This will make it difficult for them to make progress in spiritual cultivation, give them basic authority to the boat of civilization, and it is also difficult to make great progress. There will be one gain and one loss." Ling Chen used an ambiguity, but it can also explain the current situation.
Baolai nodded. He knew that it was impossible to have no flaws. Those people really couldn't see any feelings. Even if they were sent to die the next second, they would not hesitate. Just like eating and drinking water, he had seen many people who were not afraid of death, especially after experiencing many battles. Many people in ancient times committed suicide and were very righteous. However, even when facing death, even if they were not afraid, they were always passionate or angry. In short, they would have various emotions, and there was absolutely no such indifference.
"Well, in that case, I can only treat it as a consumable for the time being, but it is still very useful." Baolai did not ask how Ling Chen and others trained. This should be the other party's trump card and secret. He also has similar secrets. Of course, he will not ask the bottom line. If you ask, it will only embarrass both parties and destroy the trust and feelings they just established.
"Brother Bao, this time the Knights of the Round Table is not just about talking about these things," Ling Chen asked the main topic.
"Of course not only these things, but before talking about the serious business, this is a civilized prop I got from a hidden mission last time. Brother Ling must accept it," said Baolai, spread his hand to the round table, and a silk-shaped prop appeared on the table.
"Then I'm not polite," Ling Chen knew of course that this was the compensation made by the other party for the 500 people who were wiped out by the army. He had not had time to re-divid and copy those people, so the relevant memories had not been extracted yet. He did not know that Baolai had gained in the so-called hidden mission, but it should be quite a lot. Of course, it would definitely not make up for the losses of his camp's failure.
Ling Chen reached out to pick it up, and a prompt appeared in his mind.
"Silk transported to Rome, specialty civilization props. It is only available in the battle world. After use, the "weaving silk" technology will be obtained in the civilization to which it belongs, and it can only be used once."
If used properly, a luxury item should be able to accelerate the development of civilization. After all, luxury goods such as silk are important international trade goods. For a long time in ancient times, they were important bulk trade goods between the East and the West, and had extremely high profits.
