Chapter 259: Dutiful Son, Cao Xing’s Opportunity (6200)
The moment Cao Xing put the red-robed bishop's mask on his face.
The son of the baron on the ground immediately knelt down respectfully.
"Dear Cardinal!"
Cao Xing nodded.
Under the mask, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!
Yes, Cao Xing has obtained a prop before, [List of Black-robed Priests].
A long list of names and identities is listed in detail above.
One of them is called Fitz Walker, and his identity as the Baron's son is also marked on it.
"Your Majesty Bishop, how did you figure out my identity?"
Cao Xing said calmly: "As a bishop, of course I have the means to identify the members of our church."
That list was secretly recorded by Montella, so no one else knew about it.
Hearing this, Fitz had no doubt that he was there, but there was still some confusion in his eyes.
With his character, he would naturally not trust Cao Xing easily.
He continued to ask: "Master Bishop, why are you here?"
Cao Xing said calmly: "Of course it's because of the instructions from the Seed of Light."
"The Blizzard Snowfield is an important place for our Light God Religion, and I am not the only cardinal here."
Hearing this, the doubts in Fitz's eyes were once again dispelled.
Because he did hear the news that many cardinals were killed in the storm!
However, he still had doubts in his heart, "My Lord Bishop, I would like to ask, how can you be a lord from another world?"
This is also his biggest doubt.
Although the young man in front of him was very strong, his characteristics as a lord from another world were very obvious.
After hearing this, Cao Xing glanced at him and said with a disdainful tone: "What's wrong with me being the lord of another world?"
"Did you know that even our Seed of Light is a lord from another world?"
Hearing this, Fitz felt like he was struck by lightning!
The whole person looked at the masked Cao Xing with a look of shock.
He didn't doubt Cao Xing's words.
Because before that, he did accidentally hear a white-robed bishop mention once that the Seed of Light was a lord from another world!
Moreover, this was something he overheard, and it was also a secret of the Church of Light.
And the lord from another world in front of him, no, the red-robed bishop actually knew about this.
This shows that he is really a high-ranking member of the Light Church!
The last doubt in my mind was completely dispelled.
Fitz knelt on the ground respectfully and said in a loud voice: "I have seen the Bishop!"
Cao Xing smiled, then nodded and said, "Get up."
Fitz climbed up from the ground with an excited expression.
Cao Xing said at this time: "Fitz, you have to know that the lords of other worlds are a group of magical beings, and they have some special powers."
"My identity was secretly arranged by the Seed of Light to infiltrate the lord of another world. Remember, don't talk about this to anyone."
"Blizzard Snowfield's plan has reached a critical moment. If you ruin the Seed of Light's plan, you know the consequences!"
Fitz suddenly said with sincerity and fear: "Master Bishop, I understand."
Cao Xing nodded.
At this moment, the atmosphere became somewhat silent.
Because neither party knew what to say next.
After Cao Xing thought for a moment, he asked quietly: "How is the progress over there?"
There was doubt in Fitz's eyes, "Mr. Bishop, you are talking about developing more teachers."
"Or about bringing my father, Baron August, into the church?"
Cao Xing's heart moved, and then he said calmly: "Of course it's two things, both of which are very important to our Bright Church."
Fitz nodded, with an apologetic smile on his face.
"My Lord Bishop, I am already working on developing more teachers. There are already many believers of our Church of Light in the Baron's Mansion."
"However, I encountered some trouble in getting my father, Baron August, to join the church."
"Trouble?" Cao Xing asked doubtfully.
Fitz nodded, "I mentioned the Church of Light to my father before, in a sideways way."
"But my father is an old stubborn man who doesn't believe in the so-called theory of salvation by the God of Light. He almost arrested me and reported me to the Ice Crystal Kingdom."
Hearing this, Cao Xing frowned pretendingly.
At this moment, Fitz suddenly changed the subject, "But please don't worry, Lord Bishop."
"I know that with my father's stubborn temper, he will definitely not agree."
"So, I started formulating a plan two months ago to secretly develop the chefs in the baron's palace into members of our Church of Light."
"And a month ago, I started poisoning his food. After so many days in a row, he was completely sick and fell into bed.
"It is estimated that in a few days, he will be completely exhausted."
"At that time, when the main city of Yongshuang sends someone over, I will be able to inherit my father's position as baron!"
"And the power of our Church of Light will be unimpeded in the stormy snowfield!"
Hearing this, Cao Xing was shocked.
Good guy!
For the sake of the Church of Light, he even poisoned his own baron father!
This is really a filial son.
But this also illustrates how terrible the brainwashing of the Church of Light is.
Cao Xing nodded secretly, "Okay, I understand."
"Fitz, you did a good job."
"After this matter is completed, I will report to the Seed of Light, and you will be rewarded by the church."
Hearing this, Fitz's eyes suddenly showed a look of fanaticism.
"Your Majesty Bishop, Fitz is willing to sacrifice everything for the church!"
Next, the two had a conversation again.
Through Fitz's narration, Cao Xing probably learned about the relationship between these members of the Church of Light.
Because the system of the Bright Church is relatively strict.
Plus the pressure from the Ice Crystal Kingdom.
In order to ensure that they are not exposed, each secret black-robed priest will contact 2 to 10 light believers.
These members can also only contact their supervisors.
Similarly, every black-robed priest also has a white-robed priest who specifically contacts him.
This set of rules is aimed at the secret forces. The cultists in the camp naturally do not need to follow so many rules.
The way they pass on the news is to report it level by level through a dedicated contact person.
Until it reaches the ears of the Seed of Light.
The white-robed priest in charge of Fitz Walker is Montella.
However, Montella has been killed by Cao Xing.
Due to various changes, the Church of Light had no time to send out personnel to reconnect with these secret black-robed priests.
In other words, a black-robed priest was just dispensable to them.
Therefore, Fitz's current situation is equivalent to a state where no one is responsible.
Cao Xing's arrival gave him hope!
When he heard this, a different idea suddenly appeared in Cao Xing's mind.
Perhaps, through this relationship, I can control the son of the baron in my hands?
He said with a faint smile: "Fitz, you are very good and your abilities are outstanding."
"If anything happens in the future, you can report it directly to me."
Hearing this, Fitz's eyes suddenly showed a look of ecstasy!
He knows that the red-robed bishop has much more power than the white-robed priest!
Being able to connect with such an important person is what he has always dreamed of.
Cao Xing looked at Fitz's eyes and thought for a moment.
Then he said: "During this period, Priest Montra encountered an accident. Although you have lost your contact person."
"But your contribution is appreciated by the church."
"So I decided to reward you for your good performance."
After saying that, Cao Xing took out an [Elite Soul Guarded by the Human Face Tree] from his backpack and gave it directly to Fitz.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Cao Xing said: "If it can help you improve your potential, use it."
Fitz is an important character.
If you can control him, it will be of great help to Cao Xing.
This is not to capitalize on the enemy, but for greater profits later!
Cao Xing naturally knew this boy's ruthless character.
He began to trick and kill his brothers when he was a child, and when he grew up, he tricked and killed his old baron father.
He is a ruthless person who will do whatever it takes to get to a higher place.
However, it was precisely because of his character that Cao Xing found the opportunity to take action.
Don't you want to have more power and power?
I can give it to you!
But, in the end, all of your things will fall into my hands.
At this moment, Fitz had already tentatively taken the soul.
Then, he seemed to sense something and directly took the soul into his body.
After a while.
Under Fitz's shocked gaze, he felt his aura suddenly surge!
At this moment, Fitz's eyes showed a look of ecstasy!
"I broke through! I broke through!"
"God of Light, I never thought that one day, I would also have elite potential!"
"Hahaha! Stinky old man, I told you I'm not useless, I'm better than my brothers!"
This guy has been ridiculed a lot because of his qualifications.
Now, he has got rid of the restriction of qualifications and has become an elite creature. At this moment, he is so excited that he forgets himself!
[Due to your generous gift, Fitz Walker’s favorability towards you has been improved. Current favorability: friendly]
…
Seeing the system prompt, a faint smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips again.
Because this means that the fish has completely bitten the hook!
At this moment, Fitz Walker knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Dear Bishop, thank you for your gift. Your power is so great."
But Cao Xing smiled and said: "As long as you continue to work hard, I will continue to improve your qualifications in the future."
"Let's devote our faith to the God of Light together!"
Fitz Walker said excitedly: "Dedicate your faith to the God of Light!"
Cao Xing straightened his expression, and then said: "Besides, you still need to be careful."
"I have a cloak newly developed by the church. It can be used to cover your breath."
"Remember to put it on when you move around."
After saying that, he took out a [Shadow Cloak] from his backpack.
Fitz Walker happily took it again.
After feeling the aura above, Fitz said in surprise: "Thank you, Lord Bishop!"
At this time, he was completely infected.
Then, everyone walked out of the tavern with a fanatical look.
The two of them moved forward, and Fitz Walker next to him was very excited, and he was even more respectful to Cao Xing.
And when he came outside the territory, everyone on the field looked at the two people with doubts.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see how respectful this rebellious son of a baron is to Cao Xing now.
Even the movements of speaking are careful.
Under the gaze of everyone, Fitz quickly mounted the horse.
Then he said respectfully:
"Lord...Lord Cao Xing, please excuse me for disturbing you. I will come to visit you next time I have the opportunity."
Cao Xing smiled and nodded: "Easy to say, easy to say." "Then I won't send you away."
"Okay, Lord Cao Xing."
After saying that, Fitz rode his war horse, led the knights, and quickly left Cao Xing's territory.
The group of knights turned back and glanced at Cao Xing with doubts in their eyes.
When the Knights completely disappeared.
Cao Xing's subjects all had surprise on their faces!
The leader Cao Yi walked over quickly and said in shock: "Lord, what have you done?"
"That's the son of a baron. How could he be so polite to you?"
Including Da Zhuang and others, as well as the group of Ascalon soldiers, all looked at him in surprise.
Cao Xing smiled and said: "It's nothing, he was just impressed by my personal charm."
After everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Although, Cao Xing's explanation is a bit far-fetched.
But as their lord, everyone knows that Cao Xing does have some impressive personal charm.
This is one of the reasons why they respect Cao Xing so much.
Cao Xing continued: "Nobles are not that scary."
"Now remember, except for my orders, none of you are allowed to kneel to anyone else. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, all the staff and soldiers on the field looked stern.
Then, they said excitedly: "Understood, Lord Lord!"
…
…
now.
Fitz and the Baron Knights were wandering in the vast snowfield.
The group of knights asked with puzzled faces: "Little master, why don't we punish the rudeness of the lord from another world and collect their land tax?"
"Even if they are very powerful, as long as we, the lord of another world, report the matter, the cavalry of the Kingdom Knights can easily conquer their territory!"
Fitz glanced at him and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
The knight captain's tone suddenly stopped.
Fitz thought for a moment.
He thought that he would inherit the position of baron in the future.
The knight captain will also be his right-hand man from now on, so the relationship cannot be too tense.
So, he said: "Ariel, as mentioned before, these lords of other worlds have some special abilities."
"If possible, it is better to coexist peacefully. In addition, my father has been in poor health recently. In order to take care of his mood, it is better not to cause more trouble."
After Fitz finished speaking, surprise suddenly appeared in the eyes of the knight captain in front of him.
It was hard for him to imagine that these words came from the mouth of the little master with mediocre qualifications and gloomy personality.
Moreover, Ariel could feel that Fitz Walker seemed to have changed since he came out with the lord from another world.
The aura in my body has soared much higher than before!
Fitz said solemnly: "Ariel, you are my father's most loyal knight."
"Perhaps you once thought that I was a waste with no knowledge and mediocre qualifications. Without my identity as the son of a baron, I would be nothing."
Ariel was about to say that he didn't, but was interrupted by Fitz.
"However, although my qualifications are mediocre, I am the last man in the August family!"
"You also know about my father's situation."
"If something happens to him... then I will defend his majesty to the death and never let Baron August lose his prestige!"
"I swear on my life!"
At this moment, he pressed his fist on his chest with a solemn look in his eyes.
The knights next to them were all stunned on the spot.
He never expected that this little master would have such a high level of awareness.
Ariel, the knight captain, had a look of relief and emotion in his eyes.
"Little master...you have really grown up..."
There were tears in his eyes.
Then he stretched out his hand and made a fist.
"My young master, I will do my best to defend the honor of Baron August!"
"I swear on my life!"
Fitz nodded.
At the same time, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that this red-robed bishop was his opportunity.
Fizz, he must seize this opportunity!
…
…
"I swear on my life..."
At this moment, in Cao Xing's territory, he pressed the communication device on his ear and heard Fitz Walker's voice.
The corners of his mouth curved.
In fact, on the shadow cloak he sent out, there was a [small communication device] that he secretly attached.
Cao Xing modified the above communication settings, allowing only his side to eavesdrop unilaterally, and the other side was unable to communicate.
From the opposite side, this thing is just like the item that comes with the cloak, it is inconspicuous.
Therefore, he could use this to monitor the situation on Fitz Walker's side.
In this way, even if there is any unexpected situation, he can be prepared in advance.
After settling the matter with Fitz Walker, Cao Xing gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I started thinking about the Church of Light in my heart.
Obviously, the power of this church has penetrated many forces.
These include nobles, the military, and even civilians.
The list of black-robed priests in his hand is only a part of it.
Now, he has a series of masks such as the black-robed priest, the white-robed high priest, and the red-robed bishop.
At the same time, he also obtained a lot of information about the Church of Light.
If used well, this will be his opportunity.
Not to mention anything else, just killing these white-robed high priests and red-robed bishops can contribute a large number of leader-level souls and commander-level souls to him.
Of course, this is also very dangerous, just like dancing on a tightrope. If you are accidentally exposed, you will definitely attract the revenge of the Light Church!
However, even if he doesn't do this, with his speed of development, he will definitely be targeted by this force in the future.
After all, the Son of Light is the survivor, and Cao Xing's existence will be noticed later.
But now because he plays the red-robed bishop, he has bought himself a lot of time.
And the most important thing is that he has the son of the baron in his hands.
With this relationship, Cao Xing's operation possibilities are greater.
As long as he turns it into his own puppet, he is equivalent to possessing the rights of a baron.
In this territory, it is very convenient for Cao Xing to do anything.
In the future, we might be able to take the opportunity to break into the Church of Light!
As for the risk of exposure?
He naturally took this into consideration.
But, as mentioned before, he develops very quickly.
According to this trend, it won't be long before he will ignore the threat of the Church of Light.
Cao Xing said happily: "Currently, the problem with the aborigines has been solved, and we took this opportunity to subdue the son of a baron."
"Next, I have to deal with the matters at hand."
"The current knight trial mission in Assam is just missing the last link. We only need to help four more people who really need help to get the complete Sword of the Lake Lady."
"And through the previous mission, I learned that this [Generosity Trial] can be completed on those indigenous people."
"It seems that I need to go to the nearby villages to see if anyone needs my help!"
After all, for Cao Xing, nothing is more important than a complete legendary weapon!
He was just about to leave.
At this moment, Cao Xing heard a "sizzling" sound of electricity in his ears.
After a while, a middle-aged man's voice sounded.
"Lord, I am Yaskin."
Hearing the voice, Cao Xing said: "Yaskin, how is the situation over there?"
Previously, he sent the soldier captain out to buy people, cattle and sheep.
Almost two days have passed now.
Yaskin said: "Lord, the current situation is not bad. I visited two villages and through contact with the village chiefs, I have purchased more than a dozen villagers."
"Currently we are in Anno River Village, which is a big village."
"However, as soon as we arrived in this village, we heard some news. I think the lord may be interested in it."
After hearing this, Cao Xing said doubtfully: "Oh? What news can you tell me?"
Yaskin replied: "A mysterious figure is holding a fishing competition here."
"It is said that the reward for first place is 125 goblin peons or 500,000 crowns!"
"The second place will also receive a reward of 300,000 crowns!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up.
Fishing tournament?
The prize is over a hundred goblin peons?
Hey guys, Cao Xing is worried about not having enough staff right now!
Goblins are a race that lives underground and in caves, and mining is their strength.
The goblin peon is a type of soldier in the goblin clan who is responsible for transporting ore and is a hard-working soldier.
This is great news for Cao Xing!
"Haha, I happen to still have a lot of bait in my hand, plus a Crazy King Fishing Rod. I must win this fishing competition championship!"
Cao Xing said happily: "Well done, Yaskin, I will take people to Annuohe Village to have a look soon."
Yaskin also replied: "Okay Lord, the fishing competition seems to start in the afternoon, you may need to come over soon."
"Okay, I get it."
Cao Xing hung up the communication.
Then he took a quick look at the map.
It was discovered that [Annuo River Village] was not far from his territory, almost more than a hundred kilometers away.
With movement speed increased by 100%, it would only take them an hour to arrive.
At this time, Cao Xing suddenly remembered something.
He took out a dirty doll from his backpack.
He found this thing in the witch's castle, and it's called [Girl's Doll].
The prop tip says that you can go to [Annohe Village] to look for clues.
"Good guy, isn't this a coincidence?"
"I can go to Annohe Village to see if anyone needs my help to complete the Generosity Trial mission."
"I'll look for clues again and make this girl's doll too."
"Then we can participate in the fishing competition and win the championship prize."
"Achieve three birds with one stone, haha!"
