Chapter 612 - 258: Exemplary Filial Son, Cao Xing's Opportunity (6200)
When Cao Xing put on the Red-Clothed Archbishop’s mask on his face.
The Baron’s son on the ground immediately knelt respectfully.
“Honorable Lord Archbishop!”
Cao Xing nodded.
Beneath the mask, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth!
Yes, Cao Xing had previously obtained an item, [Black Robed Priest List].
It contained a long list of names and identities.
Among them, one was called Fitz Walker, marked as the Baron’s son.
“Lord Bishop, how did you discern my identity?”
Cao Xing said calmly, “As a Bishop, I naturally have the means to identify members of our Church.”
That list was secretly recorded by Montela, so no one else knew.
Hearing this, Fitz had no doubts, still showing some confusion.
With his character, he wouldn’t easily believe Cao Xing.
He continued to ask, “Lord Bishop, why are you here?”
Cao Xing said indifferently, “Of course, it’s due to the guidance of the Light Seed.”
“Gale Snow Plain, for our Light God Sect, is an important place; I’m not the only Red-Clothed Archbishop here.”
Hearing this, Fitz’s doubts were dispelled a bit more.
Because he had indeed heard that multiple Red-Clothed Archbishops had come to the Gale Snow Plain!
However, he still harbored suspicion, “Lord Bishop, may I boldly ask, how could you be an Otherworldly Lord?”
This was his greatest doubt.
Although the young man before him was strong, the traits of an Otherworldly Lord were obvious on him.
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing glanced at him with a disdainful tone, “So what if I’m an Otherworldly Lord?”
“Do you know, even our Light Seed is an Otherworldly Lord?”
Hearing this, Fitz was struck as if by lightning!
His whole being was filled with shock as he looked at Cao Xing wearing the mask.
He did not doubt Cao Xing’s words.
Because before this, he had indeed heard a White Robed Bishop mention that the Light Seed was an Otherworldly Lord!
Moreover, he overheard it by chance, and it was a secret of the Light Church.
And this Otherworldly Lord before him, no, Red-Clothed Archbishop actually knew this matter.
This meant he truly was a high-ranking member of the Light Church!
The last shred of doubt in his heart completely dissipated.
Fitz respectfully knelt on the ground, his voice raised, “I have seen the Lord Bishop!”
Cao Xing smiled and then nodded, “Rise.”
Fitz, with an excited expression, got up from the ground.
Cao Xing then said, “Fitz, you must know, Otherworldly Lords are a magical existence, and they possess special powers.”
“My identity was secretly arranged by the Light Seed to infiltrate the ranks of the Otherworldly Lords. Remember, do not mention this to anyone.”
“The plan at Gale Snow Plain is at a critical moment. If you disrupt the plan of the Light Seed, you know the consequences!”
Fitz immediately said in fear, “Lord Bishop, I understand.”
Cao Xing nodded.
At that moment, the atmosphere fell into some silence.
Because neither side knew what to say next.
And after a moment of thought, Cao Xing asked nonchalantly, “How is your progress?”
Fitz, with a look of confusion, “Lord Bishop, are you referring to the matter of recruiting more teachers?”
“Or about bringing my father, Baron August, into the Church?”
Cao Xing felt a stir in his heart and then said calmly, “Of course, both these matters are very important to our Light Church.”
Fitz nodded, his face carrying an apologetic smile.
“Lord Bishop, I’m already working on recruiting more teachers. There are already several of our Light Church’s believers in the Baron Mansion.”
“However, in bringing my father, Baron August, into the Church, I’ve encountered some troubles.”
“Trouble?” Cao Xing asked, puzzled.
Fitz nodded, “I previously hinted to my father about the Light Church.”
“But my father, this old stubborn, absolutely doesn’t believe in the so-called theory of the Light God’s salvation, and almost had me apprehended and reported to the Ice Crystal Kingdom.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing feigned a frown.
Then Fitz suddenly changed his tone, “But rest assured, Lord Bishop.”
“I know with my father’s stubborn temperament, he will definitely not agree.”
“So, I started formulating a plan two months ago and secretly developed the mansion’s chef into a member of our Light Church.”
“And a month ago, I began poisoning his meals. After so many consecutive days, he has completely taken ill in bed.
“I reckon in a few days, he will not survive.”
“By then, when people from the Eternal Frost Main City come over, I will be able to inherit my father’s Baron’s position!”
“And the influence of our Light Church will be unimpeded in the Gale Snow Plain!”
Hearing this, Cao Xing was shocked.
What a guy!
To poison his own Baron father for the Light Church!
Truly a filial son.
But this also indirectly showed how terrifying the brainwashing of the Light Church was.
Cao Xing nodded secretly, “Good, I understand.”
“Fitz, you have done well.”
“Once this matter is completed, I will report to the Light Seed, and you will receive the Church’s reward.”
Hearing this, a fervent look appeared in Fitz’s eyes.
“Lord Bishop, Fitz is willing to give everything for the Church!”
After that, the two of them engaged in another conversation.
