The moment Cao Xing put the red-robed bishop's mask on his face.

The Baron's son on the ground immediately knelt down respectfully.

"Your Excellency the Cardinal!"

Cao Xing nodded.

Under the mask, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!

Yes, Cao Xing had obtained an item before, [List of Black Robe Priests].

There is a long list of names and identities listed in detail above.

One of them was named Fitz Walker, and he was also marked as the son of a baron.

"Your Excellency, how did you know my identity?"

Cao Xing said calmly, "As a bishop, I certainly 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 did not doubt him, but there was still some confusion in his eyes.

Given his personality, he naturally wouldn't trust Cao Xing easily.

He continued, "Bishop, why are you here?"

Cao Xing said calmly: "Of course it was because of the instructions of the Seed of Light."

"The Snowstorm is an important place for our Church of Light. I am not the only cardinal here."

Hearing this, the doubt in Fitz's eyes was dispelled again.

Because he did hear the news that many cardinals came in the snowstorm!

However, he still had doubts in his heart, "My Lord Bishop, excuse me, how come you are a lord from another world?"

This is also his biggest doubt.

Although the young man in front of him was very powerful, he clearly had the characteristics of a lord from another world.

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 was struck by lightning!

He looked at the masked Cao Xing with shock.

He didn't doubt what Cao Xing said.

Because before this, he did happen to hear a white-robed bishop mention once that the Seed of Light was a lord from another world!

Moreover, he heard this by accident and it was also a secret of the Church of Illuminati.

And this lord from another world in front of him, no, the red-robed bishop actually knew about this.

This shows that he is indeed a high-ranking member of the Church of Illumination!

The last bit of doubt in my mind was completely dispelled.

Fitz knelt respectfully on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Greetings, His Excellency the Bishop!"

Cao Xing smiled, then nodded and said, "Get up."

Fitz got up from the ground with an excited look on his face.

Cao Xing said at this time: "Fitz, you have to know that the Lords of the Otherworld are a group of magical beings. They have some special powers."

"My identity was secretly arranged by the Seed of Light to infiltrate the alien world lords. Remember, don't tell anyone about this."

"The Snowstorm's plan has reached a critical moment. If you disrupt the Light Seed's plan, you know the consequences!"

Fitz immediately said in awe, "My Lord Bishop, I understand."

Cao Xing nodded.

At this moment, the atmosphere became somewhat silent.

Because neither side knew what to say next.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing asked calmly, "How's the progress over there?"

Fitz looked puzzled. "Bishop, you mean to recruit more teachers?"

"Or is it 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 Church of Light."

Fitz nodded with an apologetic smile on his face.

"Your Excellency the Bishop, I have already started recruiting 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 Augustus, to join the church."

"Trouble?" Cao Xing asked doubtfully.

Fitz nodded. "I have mentioned the Church of Light to my father indirectly before."

"But my father is a stubborn old man who doesn't believe in the so-called theory of the God of Light saving the world. He almost arrested me and reported me to the Ice Crystal Kingdom."

Hearing this, Cao Xing frowned pretentiously.

At this time, Fitz suddenly changed the subject and said, "But please rest assured, Bishop."

"I know that with my father's stubborn temper, he will definitely not agree."

"So, I started making a plan two months ago and secretly developed the chef in the Baron's mansion into a member of our Church of Light."

"And they started poisoning his food a month ago. After so many days of this, he has become completely ill and is bedridden.

"I estimate that in a few days, it will be completely unbearable."

"When the people from Everfrost Castle come over, I will be able to inherit my father's baronship!"

"And the power of our Church of Light will be unhindered in the snowy plains!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was shocked.

Good guys!

For the sake of the Church of Light, he even poisoned his own baron father!

This is truly a filial son.

But this also indirectly illustrates how terrible the brainwashing of the Church of Illuminati is.

Cao Xing nodded secretly, "Okay, I understand."

"Fitz, you did a great job."

"After this is done, I will report to the Seed of Light, and you will receive a reward from the church."

Hearing this, Fitz's eyes suddenly became fanatical.

"Your Excellency, Fitz is willing to give everything for the church!"

Then, the two of them talked again.

Through Fitz's narration, Cao Xing roughly learned about the relationship between these members of the Church of Illuminati.

Because the system of the Church of Illuminati is relatively strict.

Plus the suppression from the Ice Kingdom.

In order to ensure that they are not exposed, each black-robed priest in the dark will contact 2 to 10 believers of light.

These members can only communicate with their supervisors.

Likewise, every black-robed priest has a white-robed priest who is specifically in contact with him.

This set of regulations is aimed at the forces in the dark. The cultists in the camp naturally do not need to abide by so many rules.

The way they pass on information is through special contacts, reporting it up the chain of command.

Until it reaches the ears of the Seed of Light.

The white-robed priest in charge of Fitz Walker is Montra.

However, Montella has been killed by Cao Xing.

Due to various changes, the Church of Light was unable to send anyone to reestablish connections with these dark black-robed priests.

In other words, a black-robed priest is just dispensable to them.

Therefore, Fitz is now in a state where no one is responsible.

Cao Xing’s arrival gave him hope!

Hearing this, a different idea suddenly emerged in Cao Xing's mind.

Perhaps, through this relationship, I can control the baron's son in my own hands?

He said with a faint smile: "Fitz, you are very good and your abilities are outstanding."

"If you have any problems in the future, just report them to me directly."

Hearing this, Fitz's eyes suddenly showed ecstasy!

He knew that the red-robed bishop had much more power than the white-robed priest!

Being able to connect with such an important person was what he had always dreamed of.

Cao Xing looked at Fitz and thought for a moment.

Then he said, "During this time, Priest Montra encountered an accident, and you lost your contact."

"But the church has noticed your contribution."

"So I decided to reward you for your good performance."

After saying that, Cao Xing took out an [Elite Soul of the Human-Faced Tree Guardian] from his backpack and gave it directly to Fitz.

"Your Excellency, what is this?"

Cao Xing said, "If it can help you improve your potential, use it."

Fitz is an important character.

If he could be controlled, it would be of great help to Cao Xing.

This is not to assist the enemy, but for greater benefits in the future!

Cao Xing naturally knew the boy's vicious character.

He started to kill his brothers when he was young, and when he grew up, he killed his own baron father.

He is a ruthless person who will do anything to climb 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 influence?

I can give it to you!

But, in the end, all these things of yours will fall into my hands.

At this moment, Fitz had already tentatively taken the soul over.

Then, he seemed to sense something and directly slapped the soul into his body.

After a moment.

Under Fitz's shocked gaze, he felt his aura suddenly surge!

At this moment, ecstasy appeared in Fitz's eyes!

"I made a breakthrough! I made a breakthrough!"

"God of Light, I never thought that one day I would have elite potential!"

"Hahaha! You old bastard, I told you I'm not a loser, I'm better than my brothers!"

This guy has been ridiculed a lot because of his qualifications.

Now, he has broken free from the restrictions of qualifications and has become an elite creature. He is so excited that he forgets everything!

[Due to your generosity, Fitz Walker's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: Friendly]

…

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's mouth curled up into a faint smile again.

Because this means the fish has taken the bait!

At this moment, Fitz Walker knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Respected Bishop, thank you for your gift. Your power is so great."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "As long as you keep working hard, I will continue to improve your qualifications later."

"Let us all dedicate our faith to the God of Light!"

Fitz Walker said excitedly: "Dedicate your faith to the God of Light!"

Cao Xing straightened his expression and said, "Besides that, you need to be careful."

"Here I have a new cloak developed by the church. It can be used to conceal your aura."

"Remember to wear it when you are out and about."

After saying that, he took out a [Shadow Cloak] from his backpack.

Fitz Walker took it again with joy.

After sensing the aura above, Fitz exclaimed in surprise, "Thank you, Bishop!"

At this time, he was already completely infected.

Then, the whole person walked out of the tavern with a fanatical look on his face.

The two of them walked forward, and Fitz Walker beside them was very excited and was even more respectful to Cao Xing.

When he arrived outside the territory, everyone on the field looked at the two with puzzled eyes.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see how respectful this unruly baron's son was to Cao Xing.

Even the way he spoke was very cautious.

Under the gaze of everyone, Fitz easily mounted the horse.

Then he said respectfully:

"Lord...Lord Cao Xing, I am sorry for disturbing you. I will come to visit you again next time I have the chance."

Cao Xing smiled and nodded, "Sure, sure."

"Then I won't send you off."

"Okay, Lord Cao Xing."

After saying that, Fitz rode on his warhorse, led the knights, and quickly left Cao Xing's territory.

The group of knights turned around and looked at Cao Xing with doubts in their eyes.

When the Knights completely disappeared.

Cao Xing's subjects all had looks of surprise on their faces!

The lord Cao Yi walked over quickly and said in shock: "Lord, what did you do?"

"He'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, "Nothing, he was just impressed by my personal charm."

After hearing this, everyone was 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, "The nobles are not that scary."

"Now remember, no one of you is allowed to kneel to anyone else except under my order. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, all the staff and soldiers on the scene were stunned.

Then, they said excitedly: "Understood, Lord!"

…

…

now.

Fitz and the Baron Knights were wandering in the vast snowfield.

The knights asked in confusion, "Young Master, why don't we punish the alien lord for his disrespect and collect land tax from him?"

"Even if they are very powerful, as long as we, the lord of another world, are reported, the Iron Knights of the Royal Knights will be able to easily flatten their territory!"

Fitz glanced at him and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

The knight captain's tone suddenly froze.

Fitz thought for a moment.

He thought that he would inherit the position of baron in the future.

And this knight captain will be his right-hand man in the future, so the relationship cannot be made too awkward.

Then, he said, "Ariel, as mentioned before, these alien lords all have some special abilities."

"If possible, it's better to coexist peacefully. In addition, my father has been in poor health recently. In order to take care of his mood, it's better not to cause trouble."

After Fitz finished speaking, the knight captain in front of him suddenly showed surprise in his eyes.

It was hard for him to imagine that these words came from the mouth of the young master with mediocre qualifications and gloomy personality.

Moreover, Ariel could feel that Fitz Walker seemed like a different person since he came out with the lord from another world.

The aura emanating from his body has increased significantly compared to before!

Fitz said solemnly: "Ariel, you are my father's most loyal knight."

"Perhaps you once thought that I was a useless person with no knowledge or qualifications. If I weren't the son of a baron, I would be nothing."

Ariel was about to say that he didn't, but was interrupted by Fitz.

"But, although I have mediocre qualifications, I am the last man of the August family!"

"You know my father's situation."

"If something unexpected happens to him... then I will defend his dignity to the death and will never let the name of Baron August fall from grace!"

"I swear on my life!"

At this moment, he pressed his fist on his chest with a solemn look in his eyes.

The knights nearby all stood there in a daze.

I never thought that this little master had already achieved such a high level of enlightenment.

A look of relief and emotion appeared in the eyes of Knight Captain Ariel.

"My little master...you have really grown up..."

There were tears in his eyes.

Then extend your hand in the same way and make a fist.

"My dear 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 at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that this red-robed cardinal was his chance.

He, Fitz, 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 the voice of Fitz Walker.

The corners of his mouth curved up.

In fact, on the shadow cloak he gave away, there was a [small communication device] secretly attached by him.

Cao Xing modified the communication settings above, allowing only his side to eavesdrop, while the other side could not talk.

From the other side, this thing looks like an item attached to the cloak, inconspicuous.

So he could use this to eavesdrop on what was going on with Fitz Walker.

This way, even if there are any unexpected situations, he can be prepared in advance.

After dealing with Fitz Walker's issue, Cao Xing gradually relaxed.

Then I began to think about the Church of Light in my heart.

It is obvious that the power of this church has infiltrated many forces.

This included 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 including the black-robed priest, the white-robed high priest, the red-robed bishop, etc.

At the same time, he also obtained a lot of information about the Church of Illuminati.

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, like dancing on a tightrope. If you are exposed by accident, you will surely invite revenge from the Church of Illumination!

However, even if he doesn't do this, given his speed of development, he will definitely be targeted by this force in the future.

After all, the Son of Light is a survivor, and will later discover Cao Xing's existence.

And now, because of his role as the red-robed bishop, he has gained a lot of time for himself.

And the most important thing is that he has the Baron's son under his control.

With this relationship, Cao Xing's operation is more likely to happen.

As long as he turned it into his puppet, he would have the rights of a baron.

In this territory, Cao Xing can do anything very conveniently.

Maybe in the future I can take this opportunity to infiltrate the Church of Illumination!

As for the risk of exposure?

He naturally took this into consideration.

But, as mentioned before, he is developing very fast.

At this rate, it won't be long before he ignores the threat from the Church of Light.

Cao Xing said happily: "At present, the problem with the indigenous people has been solved, and we took this opportunity to subdue a baron's son."

"Next, I have to deal with the matters at hand."

"At present, Assam's knight trial mission is only one step away. If you help four more people who really need help, you can get the complete Sword of the Lady of the Lake."

"And from the previous mission, I learned that this [Trial of Generosity] can be completed on those indigenous people."

"Looks like I need to go to the nearby villages and see if there's anyone who 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 the sound of electric current crackling in his ears.

After a moment, a middle-aged man's voice sounded.

"My Lord, I am Yaskin."

Hearing the voice, Cao Xing said, "Yaskin, how are you doing?"

Previously, he sent this captain of soldiers out to purchase people and cattle and sheep.

Now, almost two days have passed.

Yaskin said, "Lord, the situation is not bad at the moment. I have visited two villages and purchased more than a dozen villagers through contacting the village chiefs."

"We are currently in Annohe Village, which is a large village."

"However, we just arrived in this village and heard a piece of news that I think the lord would be interested in."

Cao Xing was puzzled after hearing this: "Oh? What news? Tell me about it."

Yaskin replied, "A mysterious person is holding a fishing tournament here."

"It is said that the first prize is 125 goblin labors or 500,000 crowns!"

"The second place winner will also receive a 300,000 kronor reward!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.

Fishing Tournament?

The prize is more than a hundred goblin laborers?

Good guys, Cao Xing is now worried about not having enough staff!

As a race that lives underground and in caves, goblins are good at mining.

The goblin laborers are a type of goblin soldier who is responsible for transporting ore and is a hardworking and dedicated force.

This is great news for Cao Xing!

"Haha, I just happened to have a lot of bait in my hand, plus a crazy fishing rod, I must win the championship of this fishing competition!"

Cao Xing said happily, "You did a good job, Yaskin. I will take people to Annuohe Village to take a look."

Yaskin also replied: "Okay, Lord, the fishing competition seems to start in the afternoon, you may need to come quickly."

"Okay, I understand."

Cao Xing hung up the call.

Then he took a quick look at the map.

He discovered that [Annuohe Village] was not far from his territory, only about a hundred kilometers away.

With a 100% increased movement speed, it would only take them an hour to get there.

At this time, Cao Xing suddenly remembered something.

He took out a dirty doll from his backpack.

This thing was found by him in the witch's castle and was called [Girl's Doll].

The item hint says that you can go to [Annuohe Village] to look for clues.

"Hey guys, isn't this a coincidence?"

"I can go to Annohe Village to see if anyone needs my help in completing the Trial of Generosity mission."

"Let's look for clues and make a doll of this girl as well."

"Then I'll take part in a fishing tournament and win the championship prize."

"Kill three birds with one stone, haha!"

…
