Chapter 88 Are They Militia? (Part 2)
Chen Kai, who found Bass in the temple and chatted with the other party for most of the day, finally felt a little relieved. Of course, if Bass could pat his chest and guaranteed to help Chen Kai get the territory order, Chen Kai would probably be happier. Unfortunately, although Bass is the leader of the Knights' Order in the Imperial Capital of the Temple of Morning Light, he is just an agent. To put it bluntly, he is a temporary worker. Of course, he can't be said to be a temporary worker, he can only be said to be a temporary worker.
Even if Bass is not the temporary leader, he does not have the qualifications to run to Prime Minister Capello to ask for territory orders. If the leader of the Templar Knights in other third and fourth-level towns is still a role. Then the leader of the Templar Knights in the first and second-level main cities and imperial capitals can only be considered ordinary people, because the high-level leaders in these cities have higher status than the general Templar Knights. Unless they are powerful paladins with titles, or simply legends, such existences will be respected. Although an ordinary holy land is also respected, it has no advantage in the huge power of the higher nobles.
Because the Emperor of Hans Court can be said to be a divine bloodline, and his status in the Temple of Morning Light is similar to that of the Pope, and the Temple of Morning Light does not have a pope, so the Emperor of Hans Court is equivalent to the Pope of the Temple of Morning Light. Because the Temple of Morning Light has no pope, although the former demigod Gedos was almost equivalent to a pope, he was only strong and still respected the emperor of Hans Court very much. Of course, the Pope in charge of the Temple of Morning Light is also considered the royal family of Hans Court, and the uncles and uncles of the emperor now. He also has the bloodline of God, so the senior officials of the Temple of Morning Light only respect the imperial family rather than humble.
Therefore, the high-level temple is on par with the royal family of Hans Court. But Bass is not the high-level temple. At most, he is just a middle-level cadre. Only after he becomes a high-level holy realm can he be considered a high-level cadre. Of course, if he is defeated in Adorix, he will be considered a high-level. Unfortunately, in the imperial capital, Bass, at most, can only be considered a leader of the Templar Knights Order. If he is the chief commander of the entire imperial capital, the Knights Order of the Temple of Morning Light, he can probably be regarded as a number one figure. But Bass is just an ordinary division commander, and he is the kind in charge of the training of a trainee knight, and he is basically a low position and low power. Fortunately, he is only a temporary generation, and it is basically impossible to have higher power in the temple of the imperial capital. After all, in the chief commander of the Knights Order of the Imperial Capital, he needs a titled Paladin to be the one who can be held, and the entire Dawn Temple has titled Paladins in total.
Of course, the titled Paladin represents strong strength and reputation, but it does not mean the most high-end force of the temple. In fact, the most pillar of the entire temple is the ordinary Temple Knights, as well as ordinary holy-level powerful people like Bas. You should know that even ordinary holy-levels are terrifying combat power. The Sacred Domain is nothing in the imperial capital and various military centers. In other places, it is high-end combat power and nuclear bomb level. Unfortunately, not everyone can be a nuclear bomb. Ordinary melee strong people are basically not considered nuclear bombs, and only the ** division-level spell casters are considered nuclear bombs. Compared with individual combat in the melee holy realm, the ** division's magic power is much more terrifying.
Chen Kai stayed in the temple for a long time. Of course, he was talking nonsense with Bass in front and just ran out with him to drink and play with several high-level knights in the temple. Although Chen Kai was considered a family member in Hansting Emperor, he was not as familiar with the imperial capital as Bass, the temporary leader who had only been less than half a month old.
Of course, the most important thing is that those high knights in the imperial capital know the way. In fact, I heard that Chen Kai is Bass' apprentice and Charles' half of his disciples have a good impression of Chen Kai. The most important thing is that the rich sacred power of Chen Kai makes these temple knights very comfortable. Although the sacred power of the same attribute has some mutually exclusive effects, Chen Kai's sacred power from the bloodline is the most intense and attractive. Perhaps for some evil creatures who suck blood, Chen Kai's blood is the most terrifying poison, but Chen Kai does not know the effect of his blood, otherwise he might draw his own blood to sell it as holy water.
Of course, unless Chen Kai is very short of money, he would not do such a thing as selling his blood as holy water. Leading by a pseudo-local who had been familiar with the entertainment and commercial areas of the imperial capital in almost only one week, Chen Kai followed several high-level knights to the largest hotel in the imperial capital for a big meal. As a result, after a meal, Chen Kai almost shocked Bas and the others' appetite, of course, what was even more shocked was Bas and the others. In addition to eating by himself, Chen Kai also called out Donny. One person and one dragon swept half of the table of dishes, but in the end the hotel owner sent them out of the hotel with joy and fear.
Happy was that Chen Kai and the others ate nearly 500 gold coins in this meal. They were afraid that because they were eating too loudly, the people who were eating in the hotel were scared away. In the end, everyone walked out with their stomachs, except for Chen Kai because he was only 80% full.
"Damn it! This kid can really eat. The brothers who lost today! Otherwise, I would have been full but this kid!" When Bass watched Chen Kai leave with his stomach, he couldn't help but touch his stomach, but the high-level knights behind him also smiled bitterly. Because they were not going to help Bass defeat Chen Kai in order to eat, but they were just to run to support the scene. However, they didn't expect that they claimed that the four major rice buckets in the temple could not even even Bass' apprentices.
Of course, they didn't really go to eat for free to be foodies. In fact, the four of them are the local snakes in the entire Dawn Temple in the imperial capital and are also children of several great noble families. In addition to free to eat, Bass called them out and hoped that they could help his apprentice a little. But now it seems that his behavior is still useful, because when these noble children of the high-level knights heard that Chen Kai obtained the title of baron from Earl Anfros, they immediately classified Chen Kai as the person the duke loved, so for the sake of the duke.
Bass chose to agree to the request. You should know that in Hans Court, except for His Majesty the Emperor, the twin brother of His Majesty the Emperor should not be provoked the least. Because it is said that His Majesty the Emperor and his twin brother have telepathy. Therefore, if the person who makes the count upset basically means offending His Majesty the Emperor, and the person who cannot offend the most in Hans Court is the emperor of Hans Court. Because offending the Emperor is equivalent to offending the two most powerful forces in the entire continent. One is the Temple of the Dawn and the other is the Hans Court Empire.
So without Chen Kai knowing that, he already had a considerable reputation in the imperial capital of the Hansting Empire. In fact, he had some popularity in the past. He was a very brave and low-level nobleman who had become a very brave and second-class nobleman when he entered the imperial capital on the first day. However, Chen Kai was still a human at the time, but now the bloodline of the Titan Half Giant cannot be connected at all.
When Chen Kai shook his body and returned to the hotel, he suddenly found that the hotel was a little quiet. When he walked into the hotel, he immediately saw an acquaintance. However, he was only familiar with the other party, and the other party might not be familiar with him. As a resident or born player of the Hansting Empire, as long as he was familiar with the Hansting official system, he would not disagree with the old man sitting in the hotel lobby with tea bowls and drinking tea. As the core figure of the entire Hansting Empire, half of every Hansting nobleman would curse the other person's role in his heart. Prime Minister Capello is a legend among ordinary civilians in Hansting.
"Baron Berkner! You are really hard to wait!" Prime Minister Capello immediately recognized the other party after seeing Chen Kai walk into the door. As the prime minister of the entire empire, he naturally had eyes and ears that others didn't know. But what Chen Kai didn't know was why the other party recognized him.
"Sorry! Prime Minister! I'm so sorry. I didn't know you would come here at all. I originally wanted to visit your mansion, but..." Seeing this powerful figure in the empire standing in front of him, Chen Kai felt a little dry-mouthed. I don't know it was because he had been filled with too much wine by Bass just now.
"It's okay! I just remember to come and take a look! Send your territory order by the way!" Prime Minister Capello slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand, but he put it in the void. When Chen Kai thought the tea bowl would fall to the ground, a tray suddenly appeared under the tea bowl. At this time, Chen Kai found that in the shadow behind the prime minister, a high-level thief lurked there or a butler-like figure standing there. If it weren't for the tea bowl, no one would notice that there would be someone standing behind the prime minister because this person's presence was too low.
"This... I'm really bothering you!" Chen Kai was a little frightened when he looked at the territory handed over by the butler with a very low presence. Because he had no idea what medicine was sold in the belly of the prime minister around him.
"Now the territory has been transferred! Let's discuss the city issue below! Come on, take the map!" Seeing Chen Kai accepting the territory order, Prime Minister Capello suddenly clapped his hands, and as he finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers walked in with dozens of drawings.
"Barkner, what type of castle do you want? I have a defensive type, a manor type and a villa type! Oh, by the way, maybe you don't know yet, you should know that your territory is now bare and you need to pay for the city to build it yourself! But the Empire considers that a new lord like you must have no experience in building a city, and the Empire has a complete civil engineering mage group. It only takes one month to complete the general construction of the entire city, ensuring that you can see the new look of the territory before you arrive at the territory! Of course, the only thing you need to pay is shining gold coins!" As Prime Minister Capello slowly spread out the drawings with additional image spells, Chen Kai finally understood the prime minister's goal. His eyes were staring at Chen Kai's wallet and kept looking at it.
"Can I not choose that?" Chen Kai looked at the prices on the drawings and felt dizzy because the prices were really not low.
"Yes! But you must ensure that your town completes infrastructure within two months, otherwise the empire will not let a small village have the logo of a level 5 town!" Capello's face turned like frost when he heard Chen Kai's words, and his words also made Chen Kai feel like frost in an instant. It is simply a matter of life to complete the infrastructure of a level 5 town in two months. Even if Chen Kai spends more than one yuan to help Lin Lei, it may not be possible to achieve it. The Thunder God Fortress has its current scale, which can be said to be the result of continuous construction for more than half a year, and it can only be regarded as a level 6 military fortress, which is similar in defense to a level 5 town. However, the city scope is basically two concepts.
"Does it take two months?" Chen Kai looked at Prime Minister Capello. The other party did not return but nodded. In the end, Chen Kai chose to agree to use the imperial civil engineering mage group after a fierce ideological struggle and constant discussion with Xu Fei and the others on the team channel for a long time.
"This is the wise choice! Don't worry, the imperial civil engineering mage group is famous for its fair price and good quality. It ensures that there will be no such messy things as the walls collapsed! Well, dear Baron Berkner, choose the type of city and castle you need! This is the scope map of your territory, and you can roughly define your city location on the map!" Prime Minister Capello almost thought about everything, not only brought more than a dozen drawings of manors and castles to Chen Kai, but also more than a dozen drawings of city drawings. These urban drawings only include the general urban structure, that is, infrastructure such as city walls, roads and sewers. Only ordinary houses can choose from two-story rock houses. The most important kind of houses also requires money to be built. Although the construction cost is not high, only 200 gold coins per building, but if the quantity is huge, it is also a considerable expense.
"It's so black! It's so black!" Looking at the copy of the drawings in his hand, Chen Kai was so angry that he couldn't cry. Of course, another voice in his heart told him that he was taking advantage of it. For the copy of the drawings in his hand, Chen Kai spent a total of 12 million gold coins and spent 15 million gold coins to exchange for an empty city with basically no one. No matter how he calculated, he felt it was dark. But if he thought about it in another direction, he would probably not be able to build such a huge town after spending money.
"Boss! The wind blows the eggshells, and the wealth will be happy! Besides, if you don't spend this money, do you think that prime minister will hand over the territory order to you so easily?" Xu Fei patted Chen Kai's waist and reached out to take the drawings selected from him after observing through the team channel. The infrastructure cost of the entire town is 8 million gold coins, including a city wall that is ten kilometers long and fifteen meters high. The thickness of the city wall reaches two meters and five meters wide. Of course, as an accompanying high urban construction costs.
The city is equipped with 500 houses along the street, plus the 10,000 houses purchased and built by Chen Kai and others, which is 10 million gold coins. In addition, the city lord's mansion, which costs 1 million gold coins, is the castle where Chen Kai and others will live in the future. As well as the city defense facilities worth 1 million gold coins, the total total is exactly 12 million gold coins. Overall, the money is relatively cost-effective. If Chen Kai and others are really allowed to build the city by themselves, smashing all the gold coins may not necessarily complete the leveling of the city foundation.
"But this prime minister is so easy to talk to?" Fei Yun expressed his question. Although he temporarily agreed with the cooperation between the other party and the faction where Chen Kai was located after Chen Kai's explanation, even if he cooperated, it would not be easy to talk to this level.
"Because the Prime Minister is short of money! In order to make up the holes in the Golden Plain and the Hugodi War for the great Emperor, he basically filled his own assets, so he is very short of money now!" The person speaking was McZaft, the owner of the hotel. When Chen Kai chose the city map, he basically didn't dare to come out. He knew that Prime Minister Capello had left him and dared to walk out of the room.
"As for how short of money he is! You can tell by looking at the tea he drinks. You must know that our Prime Minister Capello used to be the best green tea from the East, but now he can only drink this kind of tea with less than fifty gold coins per pound. It can be seen how poor he is! But don't worry, our Prime Minister Capello is a little poor, but he always does things well!" The hotel owner named McZaft is obviously very familiar with this prime minister. In fact, those who live in the imperial capital basically know some of the habits of Prime Minister Capello, including what the other party likes to eat and drink, and even knows which store to make the thiara paper in the bathroom.
"Ignore!!" Listening to McZaft's continuous burst of various things about Prime Minister Capello, Chen Kai and the others discovered that the person who knew the prime minister best was actually in the lobby of the hotel. When the hotel owners around them showed them all kinds of Prime Minister Capello's items, they completely admired them. At the same time, they also fully understood that this boss was a very rare fan of Prime Minister Capello. He basically collected various books written by the prime minister, as well as the clothes and shoes that the prime minister wore when he was poor. Looking at the other party's collection, Chen Kai and the others suddenly had a speechless emotion called "speaking" spread in their hearts.
Although the territory was solved, Chen Kai and the others did not have the idea of leaving the imperial capital immediately to go to the territory. Not to mention that they had no place to live in the territory, they could not leave even if they had them, because Chen Kai had not yet accepted the militias he hired.
It took nearly half a month to get the news that the militia he recruited had arrived. During this period, he either went to Bass to practice combat skills or mingle in various places in the imperial capital to contact city defense weapons. Although Prime Minister Capello had provided Chen Kai with a city defense weapon worth nearly one million gold coins, Chen Kai still felt that it was not safe enough. In the end, he found the dwarf's underground black market merchant and spent a total of 2 million gold coins to buy ten low-level magic crystal cannons.
Of course, if he hadn't shown his baron's emblem and territory certificate, the Dwarf merchant would not be willing to sell so many magic crystal cannons to Chen Kai. The ten magic crystal cannons were not expensive, but if they were purchased by ordinary players, they could not buy even twice or even twice the price. The dwarf would rather not make such money than sell the magic crystal cannons to nobles without fiefdoms, because this would make the underground black market merchants completely stand opposite the Hansting Empire. Although the dwarf's underground black market is doing a relatively illegal weapon trading, the so-called illegality is still under the supervision of the empire, rather than being completely out of supervision like the black market of the Thieves Association.
However, these magic crystal cannons were not delivered immediately, but were directly delivered to Chen Kai's territory, where Chen Kai would pay the remaining payment and transportation costs. After doing all this, Chen Kai and others ran to the military camp outside the imperial capital, and of course there was also the leader of the Knights of the Temple who had nothing to do.
"I said Kaichen! Are you sure these are the militias you recruited? Not the veterans you kidnapped from where you kidnapped?" Bass said, pointing to the soldiers in armor training standing not far away. All the soldiers had a tough look on their faces. No one would think they were farmers who had just put down their hoes, but would think they were veterans who were more skilled in killing people with swords than hoes. Basically, none of these people were under 30 years old. They all had weathered faces. More wounds were covered with wounds, and they looked even more fierce than the robbers killed by Chen Kai and the others in the Rohan Empire.
"I think it should be!" Chen Kai was also a little surprised. In fact, when he knew that these soldiers were the militias he recruited, such questions flashed in his mind. These ***s are not militias, they are obviously a bunch of veterans.
Chapter completed!
