Chapter 843: Chapter 320: Taming the Baron, Money-Making Machine!
“Fitz Walker finally came!” Cao Xing said excitedly.
Last night, this guy said he would come to see me today, but I didn’t expect to wait until after dark for him to come.
A smile flickered at the corner of his mouth.
Cao Xing approved Fitz Walker’s application.
Soon, a small figure slinked into Cao Xing’s territory.
Fitz walked cautiously, observing his surroundings carefully.
He noticed that this territory had expanded several times compared to last time.
A slight look of shock appeared in his eyes.
But at this moment, he was not in the mood to pay attention to these things; he just wanted to quickly find the Lord Bishop to seek help from him.
The other night watchmen, upon seeing Fitz Walker enter, all pretended not to notice, allowing him to search around the territory.
However, now, a problem was in front of Fitz.
That is, this territory had become so large, with many buildings inside.
Where should he go to find that lord?
Just as Fitz was feeling a bit at a loss, a figure appeared in front of him.
“Fitz Walker, why such impatience?”
Upon seeing Cao Xing, this newly appointed young baron immediately felt like he had seen a savior.
He was ready to drop to his knees.
But then he remembered that they were outside the territory, and there was a group of Polar People working nearby.
Fitz stopped himself from kneeling.
He hastily said, “Lord, I came this time for an important matter!”
Cao Xing nodded, not asking what it was, and said directly, “Come with me.”
Soon, the two arrived at the tavern.
The corner stove emitted heat, and the wood crackled and hissed.
Warm yellow light illuminated the whole tavern.
Under the firelight, Fitz donned the Black Robed Priest’s mask first.
Cao Xing also put on the Red Robed Bishop’s mask.
The young baron dropped to his knees immediately, respectfully bowing, “Greetings, Lord Bishop!”
Cao Xing nodded slightly, “Speak, what is the matter?”
He purposely feigned ignorance.
While Fitz Walker, on the ground, began to pour out his troubles.
He recounted the events of last night when a White Robed Priest contacted him.
And explained that he had successfully inherited the baron status, possessing significant rights in this region, capable of providing much assistance to the church and so on…
Cao Xing listened without much change in his expression, instead calmly nodding.
“I understand, the battle over at Dorun Lake City is tense, indeed requiring many people.”
Hearing this, Fitz Walker’s face stiffened.
But Cao Xing’s next words gave him hope once again.
“However, your side is equally important.”
“I will contact the Light Seed and ask that High Priest not interfere with your actions here, allowing you to develop peacefully.”
Fitz Walker was instantly overjoyed!
With a look of gratitude, he said, “Thank you, Lord Bishop. You truly are a farsighted bishop!”
“Only by remaining undisclosed can I bring more value to the church.”
“Rest assured, in the future, I will definitely contribute well to the church!”
After speaking, Fitz Walker took out a box from his backpack, revealing a gleam of gold inside.
Cao Xing’s expression changed slightly.
“Fitz, what is this?”
The young baron grinned obsequiously, “Lord Bishop, this is a token of my goodwill, please accept it.”
Cao Xing feigned modesty, pondering for a moment.
Then said, “Alright, then I’ll accept it on behalf of the Light God.”
[Acquired: Gold Bar (1000g) * 10]
[Acquired: Freshwater Pearl (Golden) * 1]
…
Seeing the System Prompt, Cao Xing’s expression fluctuated.
Ten kilograms of gold bars, roughly worth over half a million crowns.
And although he didn’t know the value of the [Freshwater Pearl], since it’s of golden quality, it can’t be too shabby.
This kid is quite generous.
He nodded slightly, “You have a good heart.”
Fitz, hearing this, smiled and said, “You’re too kind, Lord. If you like, I can send you more from time to time.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing also smiled.
“Fitz, you are indeed a smart person.”
“As a return gift, I will grant you something.”
Upon hearing this, Fitz was about to decline.
But then he remembered that last time the bishop pulled out something strange, instantly making him an Elite Creature.
This time, perhaps there would be something magical again?
Under his expectant gaze.
He saw the bishop in front of him suddenly take out a scroll from his backpack.
“Lord Bishop, what is this?” Fitz Walker asked with curiosity and doubt.
Cao Xing did not answer, smiling subtly.
[Would you like to use the Soul Contract Scroll on Fitz Walker?]
[Upon use, the scroll will be forcibly signed, with a success rate of 100%, instantly maxing out goodwill or loyalty, and allowing the soul to be extinguished at any time, controlling life and death.]
(Note: The contract target level must be 10 levels lower than your own, otherwise the contract will fail!)
“Yes.”
The next moment, the scroll in Cao Xing’s hand disappeared.
Fitz Walker suddenly felt that something in his body had changed.
A feeling of emptiness from the depths of his soul came over him!
Moreover, he felt his soul no longer belonged to him!
It had been firmly grasped by the Red Robed Bishop before him.
His face turned pale with fear as he looked at Cao Xing in horror.
“L-Lord Bishop, what did you just do to me?”
