Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1102: Chapter 391: The Heritage of the Baron Mansion, Path to Advancement

However, with a goodwill of 100 and a life fully controlled, it was beyond his choice not to show respect.

Cao Xing said: "Do you want to be promoted and become a higher-ranking noble?"

Upon hearing this, Fitz Walker was initially startled, a mix of shock and joy flickering in his eyes.

Almost without thinking, he replied: "I do!"

Once upon a time, his biggest dream was to inherit his father’s position and become a baron.

However, in the vast Ice Crystal Kingdom, a baron was merely a low-level noble.

In our terms, it’s equivalent to a small local power representative.

Only by becoming a viscount or marquis could one enter the kingdom’s power structure.

Listening to his straightforward answer.

Cao Xing smiled and said: "Very well, now I offer you a chance; it just depends on whether you can grasp it."

Fitz respectfully replied: "Master, I will do my utmost to seize the opportunity you grant me!"

"If I can advance further and become a higher-ranking noble."

"With my power, I will better serve my master. Whatever my master desires, I will spare no effort to procure!"

Cao Xing laughed upon hearing this.

"You have this realization, very good."

"Then I will tell you."

Fitz Walker immediately focused, listening intently.

"Recently, the King has been hunting down all members of the Light Church within the kingdom."

"Including those like you, who are hidden within the commercial or power systems as Black Robed Priests."

Fitz felt a slight shock in his heart, then tentatively asked: "Master’s meaning..."

Cao Xing said directly: "I will tell you the names of several Black Robed Priests in Eternal Frost Main City. You go report them."

"Or simply gather evidence yourself and bring people to arrest them."

"If you can gather evidence of their private connections to the Light Church and capture them, it will be a great merit."

Upon hearing this, Fitz Walker seemed to suddenly realize something.

Now the Old King is extremely resentful towards the Light Church!

If he can take advantage of this opportunity to capture these traitors.

And with his status as a baron, then the chance for promotion has a high probability of becoming reality.

Fitz was extremely excited and said solemnly.

"I understand, Master. I will go to Eternal Frost Main City soon to gather evidence on these Black Robed Priests."

"Thank you, Master, for the guidance. Fitz Walker will not fail to impress!"

Ever since being bound by Cao Xing’s Soul Contract, his faith in the Light God had been overwritten in his heart.

Therefore, he felt no resistance to selling out other Black Robed Priests; instead, he felt justified.

"Very well, once you successfully become a viscount, come to me again."

"I will find a way to make you an earl, marquis, or even... duke!"

Upon hearing the final words, Fitz Walker’s breathing became even more rapid.

His admiration for Cao Xing had reached its peak.

He even felt fortunate for being Cao Xing’s servant.

Otherwise, if he were still serving the Light God, not to mention becoming a viscount, even his baron’s position would be at risk!

Then, Cao Xing selected a few names of Black Robed Priests and their identities to inform Fitz Walker.

The new baron also memorized these names.

After a pause, Cao Xing continued: "Aside from this matter, I have another thing to discuss with you."

"I currently lack some things, and I need your help to find them."

At this moment, Fitz Walker had already treated Cao Xing’s words as divine oracle.

"Master, just instruct me, and I will mobilize all forces to find them for you."

Cao Xing nodded, "These two things I need are quite rare."

"One is called Space Crystal Stone, and the other is Square Stone Engraving."

These two items are the primary materials for building large Space Transmission Arrays and the Artisan God Statue.

Fitz Walker pondered for a while, then said: "Master, I do have Space Crystal Stone..."

"I saw this thing in my father’s private warehouse."

Cao Xing’s eyes instantly brightened, "You mean there are these crystal stones in your father’s small warehouse?"

"Yes."

"How many!" Cao Xing asked excitedly.

"About... there are more than six hundred pieces; is that enough, Master?"

A strong expression of joy appeared on Cao Xing’s face.

"It’s enough, send them to me!"

Fitz Walker immediately replied: "Okay, Master, I will have them sent to you tomorrow."

"As for the Square Stone Engraving... I haven’t heard of it, but I will have people search for it afterward."

Cao Xing nodded, "Fitz Walker, you’re very good."

"Let’s do that."

With that said, he directly hung up the communication.

Cao Xing’s mouth held a faint smile.

Subduing this baron, although it cost him a precious epic-level Contract Scroll.

For now, the investment has already yielded results.

The next step is to let this puppet grow, striving to maximize benefits.

Later, if Fitz Walker truly becomes an earl or even a duke, then Cao Xing would essentially have control over a key minister of the kingdom.

At that time, whatever he wants to do will be very convenient.

This style of manipulating the entire situation from the shadows is the most suited for him.

After doing these things, Cao Xing thought: "Tomorrow, these Wind Element Mages also need to go to battle."

"Looks like I need to work overtime and enhance their status."

Thus, he returned to the Lord’s Hut and explained the situation to Liu Muxue.

The two walked out of the hut together, and called out Yilena, the old mage Tyrone, and other subjects with single-unit buffs.

They spent four to five hours enhancing the buffs of those Wind Element Mages.
