Another drop of dark blood appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

[Devil's Blood (Special Item)]

[Blood containing pure demonic power. After taking it, a lord or a recruited creature can be transformed into a powerful demon professional, with attack power increased by 50%, and all skill attributes will be attached with demonic power. ]

(Note: Although the Devil Class is powerful, it will be suppressed by high-level demons and will be hated by the clergy.)

…

"Another job-changing tool?"

"In other words, if I use it, I will become a demon magician, if Liu Muxue uses it, she will become a demon knight, and if Ji Xinyue uses it, she will become a demon warrior?"

"However, although this thing has a great improvement, increasing the attack power by 50%, it also has great side effects. It is better not to use it on yourself."

After thinking for a while, Cao Xing decided that if he had the chance, he would find a citizen to be his guinea pig.

He began to check other props.

[Holy Light Redemption Skill Book (Gold): Aurora Knight Exclusive Skill Book]

[Skill Effect: Perform Redemption on a friendly unit. After receiving a fatal attack, it is forced to retain 1 health point and recover 20% of its health. The effect lasts for 10 minutes and the cooldown time is 20 minutes.]

(One day, God patted my shoulder and said: I will redeem you and make you grow faster.)

…

"I'm going to force myself to retain some health points."

"With my eternal power, will you be unable to die even if you want to?"

Cao Xing was surprised.

Then I couldn't wait to verify the effect of this skill.

So, Cao Xing directly threw the skill book to Liu Muxue.

After Liu Muxue took it, her mouth opened slightly, and she instantly understood the importance of this skill book.

Then she clicked on study directly.

At the same time, Liu Muxue raised her sword and began to chant softly.

"Without light, darkness has no meaning."

"Those who are invaded by evil wills, or those who have fallen beliefs, need the salvation of the Holy Light!"

The next moment, a ray of light fell into Cao Xing's body.

A system prompt appears.

[Liu Muxue successfully casts [Holy Light Redemption]. Under the influence of the talent [Eternal Power], this skill has become permanent. The effect of [Holy Light Redemption] can be triggered once every 5 minutes.]

…

Seeing the prompt, Cao Xing's eyes showed enlightenment.

As expected, the power of eternity does not make this skill effective indefinitely, but it has also become significantly stronger.

"That's not bad. It's equivalent to one extra life every five minutes."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Next, the last thing.

A golden ring.

【Royal Holy Ring (Gold)】

【Quality: rare】

[Requirement for wearing: Level 15]

【Armor: 19~21】

[Attached special effect ①: Spirit +20, Constitution +20]

[Attached special effect ②: Exquisite texture (Charm +20)]

[Additional Effect ③: Energy Amplification (At the moment of attack, there is a 50% chance to increase the damage of this attack by 20%)]

[Attached special effect ④: Blessing of the Sea (When using a healing skill, the healing effect is increased by an additional 50%)]

(Item Description: Under the ornate patterns, the name of Edburn is engraved in cursive script...)

…

Cao Xing's pupils shrank again.

"Good guy! Isn't this ring tailor-made for me and Liu Muxue?"

Increase the therapeutic effect by an additional 50%!

He could just equip it first and cast [Ice Healing] on all recruited creatures.

The recovery figures per second will soar!

Then hand it over to Liu Muxue and let her perform the [Holy Healing Technique] on everyone, which can also greatly enhance the healing ability!

Apparently, it is possible!

According to this estimate, his ice therapy can restore nearly 200 health points per second!

It can restore 12,000 HP in one minute!

Terribly powerful!

Cao Xing was so excited that he even wanted to equip it on the spot.

"However, this ring is a level 15 piece of equipment."

Cao Xing glanced at his experience bar.

[Level 13 52%]

"It's not much different. I think we can equip it tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing put all these things away.

As for the other two new materials, [Eternal Gold Ingot] and [Magic Pattern Stone].

"I remember that these two materials are needed to build the King's Altar."

"I had no idea before, but I didn't expect it to be given to me directly."

This also pointed out a direction for Cao Xing. All he had to do next was open the golden treasure chest to get enough materials to build the king's altar.

At the same time.

Cao Xing's men also searched the entire church for coffins.

There were a total of five or six hundred coffins, and more than a hundred bags of burial objects were brought to him.

[Obtained: Ascalon Undead's Burial Bag*114]

[Obtained: Captain Ascalon's burial bag*5]

[Obtained: Captain Ascalon's burial bag*1]

…

"Not bad, not bad."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

The number of bags of burial objects in his hands now exceeded three hundred.

At this point, the harvest here has been completely counted.

Cao Xing ordered, "Let's go, you can go out now."

"Let's go find Lieutenant Calhan."

He did not forget that there was also a mission reward, and he had to go to Lieutenant Calhan to claim it!

Cao Xing came directly to the stone gate of Kasha Cathedral and opened the door with the master key and stone talisman!

"Boom!"

The gate gradually rose, revealing a bright passage outside.

Everyone saw it.

The surrounding walls were covered with claw marks, and it seemed that many Soul Eaters had attacked the gate and walls crazily here.

But because of the death of the Soul-Eating Demon, these Soul-Eating Monsters lost their source of power and all disappeared on the spot.

Cao Xing felt a little regretful.

"What a pity! There are so many Soul Eaters in this underground palace. If I kill them all, I will get so many elite and boss souls, and so much experience!"

Although Cao Xing also knew that he was dreaming.

After all, there are so many Soul-Eating Monsters, and it is unclear whether they have the ability to kill them all.

But it doesn't hurt to let him imagine.

After coming out of Kasha Cathedral, everyone followed the map and went straight to the Temple of Everlook.

There are also many coffins here.

Cao Xing's eyes lit up again.

Just when Cao Xing was about to let his men start looting.

A group of undead floated over silently.

This also made Cao Xing stop his search.

Leading the way were Duke Palatine and Lieutenant Karhan.

After a while, more and more undead came out from the wall.

In the blink of an eye, the number of undead gathered here reached thousands!

The aura from them caused the temperature of the entire underground palace to drop rapidly.

This also made Cao Xing feel a little nervous.

With so many undead coming together, they can be easily torn to pieces!

But Cao Xing didn't seem to be that scared.

If they really dare to do that, Cao Xing will just release the devil from the Demon-Devouring Box. At worst, we'll all be finished together!

However, after seeing Cao Xing and the others, the group of undead did not show any hostility, but instead showed expressions of gratitude.

As the Duke of Palatine slowly spoke.

"Let all of us Ascalonians pay the highest tribute to these heroes who killed the Soul-Eating Demon!"

After saying this, Duke Palatine knelt on one knee.

Including the other undead, they all knelt down.

Then, they uttered a hollow voice and said solemnly: "Thank you, you are the heroes of us Ascalonians!"

"People of Ascalon, your names will be remembered forever."

Looking at the serious expressions of this group of undead, everyone felt a little embarrassed.

Cao Xing coughed twice, then said, "Don't be polite, everyone. I am a lord, and one of my subjects is you, the Ascalonians."

"When I learned that her compatriots were being attacked by the Soul Eater, I felt equally distressed."

"So, in order to save her compatriots, in order to free everyone from suffering, I have come here!"

At this time, the group of undead raised their heads one after another, and then saw Reneece behind Cao Xing. A glimmer of light appeared in their empty eyes.

"My Lord..."

Reneece behind him was deeply moved.

She never thought that Cao Xing would take her feelings so seriously.

Renee's pupils gradually became moist, and she even wanted to give Cao Xing a hug on the spot.

At this time, all the undead looked at Cao Xing, and an expression of emotion appeared in their eyes again.

Of course, Cao Xing was talking nonsense.

He had not come to the Ascalon Crypts because of Rhaenys.

But at this point, what he says is what it means.

After all, who can say that what Cao Xing said is false?

He killed the devil, so he is the hero of the Ascalonians, and no one can deny that!

At the same time, the system prompt appears.

[Because of your respect for the people of Ascalon, the Ascalon camp's favorability has been further improved. The current favorability is: Intimate! ]

(Note: When you are in a close relationship with them, they will regard you as one of their own. You will be able to freely enter and exit all areas where the Ascalon Undead are located and will not be attacked.)

[Your territory member: Renis Eagle Eye is impressed by your character, and her loyalty is further improved. Because her loyalty is full, a special effect is triggered: Diehard.]

…

Hearing the system prompt, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

The third most loyal subordinate has appeared!

Next, no matter what he did, Renis would never betray herself.

Not only that, he also gained further favor from the people of Ascalon.

So much so that from now on, he can even enter and exit all areas of Ascalon freely!

There are huge benefits behind this.

You know, there is more than just this tomb at the ruins of Ascalon!

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Sure enough, a qualified lord needs to have not only strong military power, but also good eloquence."

Duke Paladin said with emotion: "You are the lord who cares most about his subordinates that I have ever seen. If His Majesty the King had been willing to listen to our opinions like you, he would not have fallen into the wrong path..."

Including other Ascalon undead, they all raised their heads.

They looked at the people behind Cao Xing with envy in their eyes.

This scene made Assam, Bron and others feel a sense of honor!

It turns out that following such a powerful lord who cares about his subordinates is something that people would envy.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "I treat all of my subjects equally."

"Everyone, get up."

At this time, all the undead stood up.

Lieutenant Karhan and Duke Palatine came to Cao Xing together.

Cao Xing looked at the undead in front of him and chuckled, "Nice to meet you again, Lieutenant Carlhan."

The undead Karhan nodded and said excitedly, "We meet again, Lord Cao Xing."

"It's hard to believe that you actually destroyed the devil's soul!"

"I never thought you could do this. I even thought you would be wiped out before the first temple!"

Cao Xing's face was filled with gloom. It seemed that the lieutenant didn't think highly of their strength at all, but he still let them in.

This is preparing to send them to their deaths.

But it's over.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "I have a group of powerful subordinates and partners, so of course I can succeed."

Karhan glanced behind Cao Xing, then nodded and said, "Lord Cao Xing, you are right. You have a group of powerful subordinates."

"Plus, you have such courage, I believe that you will rise at a terrifying speed!"

"It won't be long before the entire Western Continent knows your name."

"One day in the future, even we, the dead buried deep in the catacombs, will be able to hear your name!"

Cao Xing was happy. This guy is quite good at talking.

However, let’s be honest.

You still have to get the compensation you deserve.

So, Cao Xing said directly: "Lieutenant Kalhan, thank you for your compliment."

"However, regarding the reward we agreed upon earlier..."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Calhan not only did not resist at all, but nodded, "Of course, this is what you deserve."

After saying that, he conjured up a bunch of recruitment scrolls, a blueprint, and three training books out of thin air.

Then, Tongyi handed these things to Cao Xing.

A system prompt appears.

[Mission: Completed the task of saving the Ascalon Undead in the four great temples.]

[Mission: Completed the task of saving the soul of Duke Palatine.]

[Obtained mission rewards: Ascalon Soldier Recruitment Scroll * 112, Ascalon Training Barracks Blueprint * 1, Ascalon Elite Warrior Training Book * 3]

At this moment, Cao Xing looked at the pile of reward recruitment scrolls in his backpack, and he couldn't suppress his joy in his eyes!

The gains from this mission have completely exceeded his imagination.

Enough to greatly enhance his strength!

However, Cao Xing could remember that he had heard a system prompt.

You can ask Lieutenant Calhan for additional rewards.

"Ahem! Lieutenant Karhan, this time, in addition to the four major temples, we also saved many innocent undead souls."

"I wonder... if I can..."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Kalhan showed a hint of difficulty in his eyes.

Because he had given everything to Cao Xing.

At this time, Duke Palatine came over and said, "Lord Cao Xing, you have taken away our burial objects, and my ancient sword, Magdel, has also appeared in your hands."

"These are more than enough to pay your reward."

Hearing this, Cao Xing coughed twice in embarrassment.

It turned out that the Duke of Palatine already knew what he had done in the underground palace.

And only now did Cao Xing realize how terrifying this Duke Palatine was.

He originally wanted to test the strength of the Duke of Palatine, but when he looked over, apart from his name, everything else was just a bunch of "???".

This shows that the Duke of Palatine is at least a fourth-level being!

And it’s not just the ordinary fourth level, it’s at least the leader level.

If he had not been suppressed too severely by the Soul-Eating Demon, with Duke Palatine's terrifying power and the body of the undead, it is estimated that there would be few opponents for him in the entire Snowstorm Plain.

Fortunately, the other party does not seem to be prepared to pursue the matter.

At this time, Duke Palatine laughed again and said, "Although, you took away our burial objects."

"However, you helped us recapture the underground palace this time and saved us Ascalonians, which is of great significance."

"I really should give you another reward."

Cao Xing just wanted to be humble.

However, in the hands of Duke Palatine, there appeared a book emitting a blue aura of the dead.

Duke Palatine explained: "This is a book that records the names of all the Ascalonian dead in our underground palace."

"I call it the Book of the Dead. It contains the space magic I left behind when I was alive.

"Open the book, chant the spell, and you will have three chances to summon us to fight for you."

"However, due to the limitation of space power, we can only exist for about 60 seconds."

"Besides, since I don't have enough power, you can only summon the undead in this underground palace."

After listening to the Duke of Palatine's explanation, Cao Xing took a deep breath!

Oh shit!

It can actually summon the undead of the entire underground palace to fight!

What is the concept?

You know, the number of undead here is almost over a thousand, if you add in the souls in this underground palace and other areas.

There are at least more than a thousand!

And this group of undead are all at least level 20, and there are quite a few elites and leaders among them!

And this Duke Palatine is at least a fourth-tier leader, or even a legendary commander!

Such a powerful force, even if it only lasts 60 seconds, is enough to sweep away everything!

Cao Xing was very excited and took it over quickly.

[Obtained: Ascalon's Book of the Dead (special item)]

"Thank you, you are such a generous Duke!"

Cao Xing's thanks came from the bottom of his heart.

Just kidding, it's normal to say thank you when someone gives you such an awesome thing!

If the other party is not unwilling, he will just let Cao Xing recognize him as his grandfather!

With such a powerful grandfather, he can walk across the entire snowy plain from now on.

Duke Palatine also smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Well, Lord Cao Xing, we still have to rebuild the underground palace, so we won't keep you here any longer."

Hearing this, Cao Xing understood what he meant. He was going to drive people away.

However, there are still many areas of this underground palace that have not been explored, and many coffins that have not been looted.

But it’s enough, he has already gained a great advantage this time anyway!

"Okay, Your Excellency, we have to go out and take care of other things."

After saying this, Cao Xing clenched his fist and placed it on his chest.

"May the glory of Ascalon last forever!"

On the field, all the undead clenched their fists and saluted Cao Xing solemnly!
