Chapter 392: The background of the Baron Mansion and the road to promotion. (6000)

After hesitating for a moment, the old village chief nodded.

"Yes, dear Lord, we do suffer from this disease."

"We didn't mean to hide our physical condition from you. Please forgive me, Lord!"

After saying that, all the villagers bent down and bowed to Cao Xing to apologize.

A little girl raised her head and said with pleading eyes: "Lord... My mother's disease is not contagious, she is just in poor health..."

"Can you not drive us away, woo woo..."

As she spoke, the little girl almost burst into tears.

Cao Xing waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to drive you away."

"I just want to know your physical condition."

After hearing this, the little girl gradually stopped crying and looked at Cao Xing with watery eyes.

The old village chief replied: "Lord, please rest assured..."

"Based on the current situation, our symptoms should not continue to worsen."

"As long as we can still be active for one day, we will do our best to contribute to this territory."

Cao Xing asked: "Then how many years do you think you can live based on your current situation?"

The old village chief thought for a moment, "I probably have three or four years to live...those younger villagers probably have more than ten years to live..."

"I know."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and asked no more questions.

Then he pressed the communication device on his ear.

"Da Zhuang, arrange for a polar man to bring a bucket of milk up from the basement."

"It's the milk of Yuncai Yak."

He gave a special instruction.

After Da Zhuang heard the order, he immediately took action.

After a while, he and another polar man walked up to Cao Xing carrying a bucket of milk.

"Lord, can I leave it here for you?"

"Yes."

After Da Zhuang and the others gently put down the bucket of milk.

Cao Xing went directly to open the lid of the wooden barrel, and a strong smell of milk came out.

Then he took out a glass from his backpack and filled it with a full glass of milk.

"Chief Zelko, come here and try this."

After hearing this, the old village chief quickly stepped forward and carefully took the glass from Cao Xing's hand.

He didn't know what Yuncai Yak was, so he just thought it was ordinary milk and drank it in one gulp.

After he finished drinking, he said, "Smash it, smash it."

"Lord, this milk is so delicious, better than any milk I have ever drunk before."

"I feel warm in my stomach..."

The old village chief had a simple and honest smile on his wrinkled face.

Cao Xing was observing his situation.

At this moment, the old village chief suddenly bowed.

The expression on his face also changed, his pupils suddenly widened, and he held his stomach hard!

When the villagers behind him saw this scene, they immediately exclaimed.

"Village Chief, what's wrong with you?"

"Village Chief!?"

Worry, panic, and fear appeared in everyone's eyes!

Although he knew that his lord would not harm them.

But after the old village chief drank the glass of milk, he suddenly had this reaction, which still frightened them.

However, after a few seconds, the old village chief gradually straightened up.

He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Then, he said with excitement: "Lord, what kind of magical milk is this?"

"I feel as if my internal organs have been moisturized by a magical power, and the symptoms of frost rot have been reduced a lot!"

Hearing this, the faces of the villagers in Puteng Village all looked blank.

And when they heard that the symptoms of frost rot had been relieved a lot, everyone's pupils widened!

Even his breathing became a little faster!

And they also knew the Lord's intention.

It turned out that the magical milk was used to help the old village chief cure his physical diseases.

The polar man on the side said proudly: "You don't know, don't you?"

"This is the milk of Yuncai Yak!"

"This kind of milk is priceless. The glass the old village chief drank just now is worth 20,000 crowns!"

Hearing this, the pupils of the entire Puteng Village suddenly shrank.

They didn't know what Yuncai Yak was. They only knew that they drank 20,000 crowns in that glass of milk!

This money is enough for them to buy food for a year!

When the old village chief Zelko heard this number, he suddenly felt distressed.

I even wanted to spit out the glass of milk.

Cao Xing shook his head, "Don't care how much this milk costs, as long as it can restore your body."

He looked at Zelko and asked: "Like the milk just now, how many times do you think you need to drink it before you can fully recover?"

There was a cloudy look in the old village chief's eyes, and he replied: "Lord... probably... maybe five or six more times?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

The effect of Yuncai Yak is still excellent.

According to the old village chief, their symptoms can recover in about five or six days.

And these more than 100 people only drank more than 20 liters a day.

After seven days, it will only be more than 100 liters.

Although it is a bit of a loss, after all, these more than one hundred liters of milk are converted into crowns, which can be used to buy more slaves.

However, Mr. Cao owns dozens of yaks and does not lack this at all.

Just be happy.

And compared to other slaves, these villagers have special skills and can create more value for themselves.

So, Cao Xing said directly: "I know, starting from tomorrow."

"All of you can drink a glass of milk every morning, and I will give instructions to the cafeteria."

The villagers looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Then, someone whispered.

"This... Lord, what virtue can we have to enjoy this precious resource..."

"Yes, Lord, how can humble commoners like us be entitled to enjoy this precious milk..."

Cao Xing shook his head.

"In my territory, there are no civilian nobles, only people who can contribute to me."

"Your current physical fitness is too poor and your work efficiency is too low. Taking good care of your body is the top priority."

"Don't be reluctant to drink it, let alone hide it privately. Do you understand?"

At this moment, the old face of Village Chief Zelko was already full of tears.

He was about to kneel on the ground, but he remembered the rules of this territory.

So, he bent down and said movedly: "Thank you, Lord."

"Your kindness is like a gift of renewal to us."

Other villagers followed suit and expressed their gratitude.

[Because you are considerate of your subordinates, territory members: Ale’s loyalty has been greatly improved, current loyalty: 87]

[Because of your consideration for your subordinates, territory member: Zelko’s loyalty has been greatly improved, current loyalty: 92]

【Because of you...】

Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then said: "Okay, let's go back and rest."

"I have a new task for you tomorrow."

After hearing this, the villagers immediately followed suit.

But when they left, everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

Da Zhuang next to him touched his head and said naively: "Lord, you are as good to us as a father."

"Our clan leader once said that those who can treat every lord under them well, regardless of their status, can accomplish great things."

"You will definitely become a lord famous throughout the continent in the future."

Facing the big flatterer, Cao Xing smiled and scolded: "Go away, I don't have a son as old as you."

"Now, move this bucket of milk back to the warehouse."

Da Zhuang had a silly smile on his face, "I obey, Lord Lord!"

After saying that, he and another polar man moved the milk back.

After everyone left.

Cao Xing thought about whether he had anything else to deal with.

Then, he thought of the power of the Church of Light, which seemed to have completely withdrawn from the Snowstorm Field recently.

And... Fitz Walker, who is both a black-robed priest and a baron.

"Look at how this new baron is doing recently."

So he pressed the communication device on his ear.

"Fitz Walker, it's me."

at the same time.

In the gorgeously decorated baronial palace, Fitz Walker, who had just succeeded to the throne, was lying on a big chair with a look of enjoyment on his face.

There were some good-looking maids around him, who were gently kneading his body.

Fitz enjoyed the service of these maids and closed his eyes in comfort.

In front of him was a mature woman with an upright appearance and graceful appearance.

This beautiful woman's face was full of worry and sadness.

"Fitz...you can't go on like this..."

"After your father passed away, there are still many things that have not been dealt with."

"You need to reorganize the family's industry, check the accounts of the shops one by one, and negotiate business cooperation with other nobles."

"You are now the man of our family and the new baron. You must deal with all these matters as soon as possible."

Listening to the beautiful woman's instructions, an impatient look gradually appeared on Fitz Walker's face.

He waved his hand.

"I know mother, I will handle these things."

"You'd better go back and rest first."

Seeing him like this, the mature woman hesitated to speak.

Finally, he sighed softly, turned around and left here helplessly.

And not long after the woman left.

Fitz Walker suddenly heard the familiar voice in his ears, and he suddenly trembled and sat up from the stool.

This move frightened the maids next to them so much that they asked softly: "Lord Baron, what's wrong with you?"

Fitz stood up quickly and said quickly.

"Get out of here, hurry up."

The maids had blank looks on their faces.

Seeing that they were still staying where they were, Fitz's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.

"If anyone appears in my sight again in three seconds, let them all die!"

Hearing this, all the maids turned pale with fright.

Because they knew that this baron would really do such a thing.

He immediately climbed up from the ground in a hurry, and then fled from here in a panic.

Wait until no one is in the room.

The killing intent on Fitz Walker's face instantly receded.

Then came a look of reverence.

"Master, I'm here." "I'm very sorry, it took a while to send away those servants just now."

Cao Xing didn't care, but asked: "How is the situation in the Baron Mansion recently?"

"Back to Master, there have been few changes in the Baron Mansion recently. Training should be done, and taxes should be levied."

"However, since the battle in Duolun Lake City, the Church of Light has not sent anyone to look for me again."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It seems that the Church of Light has evacuated quite cleanly."

Fitz chuckled and said: "Yes, the Church of Light overestimated its capabilities and actually provoked the majesty of the kingdom. It has learned a lesson."

"The master is more far-sighted."

Cao Xing ignored his flattery.

"Fitz, let me ask you a question."

"Master, please tell me, I will tell you everything."

The new baron had great respect for Cao Xing.

However, with 100 favorability points and his life under control, he couldn't help but disrespect him.

Cao Xing said: "Do you want to be promoted and become a higher-level noble?"

When he heard this, Fitz Walker was startled at first, and a gleam of shock and surprise flashed in his eyes.

He replied almost without thinking: "I want to!"

Once upon a time, his biggest dream was to succeed his father's position and become a baron.

However, in the huge ice crystal kingdom, baron is only a relatively low-level noble.

In our words, it is equivalent to a representative of a small force in a place.

Only by becoming a viscount or marquis can one enter the kingdom's rights system.

Listen to his straightforward answer.

Cao Xing smiled and said: "Very good, now I will give you a chance, it depends on whether you can grasp it."

Fitz immediately replied respectfully: "Master, Fitz will do his best to seize the opportunity you give him!"

"If I can go one step further and become a higher-level noble."

"I will use my power to better serve the master. As long as it is something the master wants, I will do my best to find it for you!"

Cao Xing also laughed after hearing this.

"It's good that you have this awareness."

"Then I'll tell you."

Fitz Walker suddenly concentrated his attention and listened carefully.

"Recently, the king is looking for all members of the Church of Light in the kingdom."

"Including those black-robed priests like you who are hidden in the business system or the power system."

Fitz was slightly startled, and then asked tentatively: "What does the master mean..."

Cao Xing said directly: "I will tell you the names of several black-robed priests in the main city of Yongshuang. You go and report them."

"Or simply collect evidence yourself and lead people to arrest them."

"If we can collect and capture evidence of their private contact with the Church of Light, it will be a great achievement."

And after hearing this, Fitz Walker seemed to suddenly realize something.

Now the old king hates the Church of Light with all his heart!

If he could take this opportunity to uncover these traitors.

Coupled with his status as a baron, there is a high probability that he will be promoted.

Fitz was extremely excited and said solemnly.

"I understand, Master. I will go to the main city of Yongshuang in the near future to collect evidence of these black-robed priests."

"Thank you, Master, for showing me the way. Fitz Walker will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Since being contracted by Cao Xing's soul, his belief in the God of Light has been overshadowed.

Therefore, he did not resist at all about betraying other black-robed priests. On the contrary, he felt at ease with it.

"Very good, come back to me after you successfully become a Viscount."

"I will find a way to make you an earl, marquis, or even... a duke!"

Hearing the last sentence, Fitz Walker's breathing became even more rapid.

The admiration for Cao Xing in my heart has reached its peak.

He was even a little lucky that he was enslaved by Cao Xing.

Otherwise, if he is still working for the God of Light, let alone becoming a viscount, his position as a baron will be lost!

Then, Cao Xing selected the names of several black-robed priests and told Fitz Walker their identities.

The new baron also remembered these names.

After a pause, Cao Xing continued: "Besides this matter, I have something else to ask you."

"I'm missing something now and I need you to help me find it."

At this moment, Fitz Walker had already regarded Cao Xing's words as an oracle.

"Master, just ask, I will mobilize all my strength to help you find it."

Cao Xing nodded, "The two things I want are relatively rare."

"One is called space crystal, and the other is ashlar engraving."

These two things are the main materials for building large-scale space teleportation arrays and statues of the God of Craftsmen.

Fitz Walker thought for a moment, and then said: "Master, I do have a space crystal..."

"I saw this kind of thing in my father's private warehouse."

Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, your father's small warehouse has this kind of crystal stone?"

"Yes."

"How many!" Cao Xing asked excitedly.

"About... there are more than six hundred. Master, have you seen enough?"

Strong joy appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"That's enough, send it to me!"

Fitz Walker also immediately replied: "Okay master, I will have someone deliver it to you tomorrow."

"As for the ashlar carvings at the back... I have never heard of it, but I will have people look for it later."

Cao Xing nodded, "Fitz Walker, you are very good."

"Then do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the communication.

Cao Xing had a faint smile on his lips.

Conquering this baron would cost him a precious epic contract scroll.

But so far, the investment has paid off.

The next step is to let this puppet grow up and strive to maximize its benefits.

Later, if Fitz Walker can really become an earl or even a duke, then Cao Xing will control an important minister of the kingdom in disguise.

Whatever he wants to do then will be very convenient.

This style of controlling the overall situation behind the scenes is what suits me best.

After doing this, Cao Xing thought: "Tomorrow, these wind mages will also go to the battlefield."

"It seems that we need to add another class to give them some additional status."

So, he returned to the lord's cabin and explained the situation to Liu Muxue.

The two walked out of the hut together, and called out Ilena, the old mage Tyron, and other people with single buffs.

It took four or five hours to add BUFF to those wind mages.

Everyone was busy until twelve o'clock in the evening, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.

Of course, Liu Muxue had the hardest time.

She led people to fight for a whole day during the day, and worked tirelessly to release her skills at night, draining her mental energy over and over again.

Cao Xing also pulled her and loved her for more than an hour.

It wasn't until this beauty was completely satisfied that they hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next day...

[Attention to all survivors: The third day challenge of ‘Dolma’s Claws’ has just begun...]

【Weather forecast...】

When the familiar system prompt sounds.

The beauty beside the pillow woke up first.

It seemed that after Cao Xing's hard work last night, she became full of energy.

There was an excited look on his rosy face.

"Axing, it's dawn."

"Shall we divide our forces today?"

Looking at her high-spirited look, Cao Xing smiled and shook his head.

"Muxue, it's up to you to lead the soldiers out to fight today."

"Then the other team will let Assam be the commander and lead them to fight."

"I'm going to the Ascalon Underground Palace to open the treasure house."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue seemed to think of something, and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.

"You mean...the treasure house of the underground palace of the undead!"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, in this way, your weapon can be repaired."

A surprised smile also appeared on Liu Muxue's face.

"Okay, okay, go ahead, Axing. Just leave it to me."

"I will protect our territory well and get more points!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing also had a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Because of her original family, Liu Muxue has not been able to feel the love since she was a child.

In addition, her parents had her firmly in their hands and did not give her any breathing space.

She wanted to leave her original family again and again, but she never had the chance or the courage.

Now that he has come to this world, he unexpectedly forms a team with Cao Xing.

In battle after battle, she gradually became stronger, so much so that she was now directly cut off from her original family.

Later, he also actively participated in the construction of the territory, and developed a strong sense of belonging to the territory.

For her, this is also her home.

A home worth protecting with her life.

Cao Xing stroked her hair at the temples and kissed her beautiful face.

"A Xing..."

Cao Xing smiled and said nothing.

The two washed up briefly and then walked out together.

Dahua also cleaned his armor and let Cao Xing put it on comfortably.

at the same time.

In the large square in the center of the territory, hundreds of citizens were already waiting.

In addition to nearly three hundred staff members.

There were more than five hundred combatants.

Altogether, there are almost more than 800 people.

With so many people standing together according to their own military types, it can be said to be quite spectacular.

A solemn look appeared on Cao Xing's face, and then he said: "Staff, come up and report to me first."

Hearing the order, Polar Man Duan stepped forward.

He took the lead and said: "Dear Lord, I will report to you the progress of the work in the past two days."

"First of all, the high-level brewing workshop you arranged has been built, and the bakery, warrior camp, and archer training ground have all been upgraded to the intermediate level."

"In addition, the advanced machinery factory is still under construction and is expected to be completed today."

When Cao Xing heard this progress, he thought for a while.

The most important of them is the high-end brewery.

Once this thing starts running, wine can be brewed in batches, which means Cao Xing has another source of income!
