Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 392: The Baron's House's Background and the Road to Promotion. (6000)

After hesitating for a moment, the old village chief nodded.

"Yes, your Excellency, we do have this disease."

"We didn't mean to hide our physical condition from you. Please forgive us, Lord!"

After saying that, all the villagers bent down and bowed to Cao Xing to apologize.

A little girl raised her head and said with a pleading look: "My Lord... my mother's disease is not contagious, she is just not feeling well..."

"Could you please not chase us away, wuwu..."

As she spoke, the little girl was about to cry.

Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to drive you away."

"I just want to understand your physical condition."

After hearing this, the little girl gradually stopped crying and looked at Cao Xing with watery eyes.

The old village chief replied: "My Lord, please rest assured..."

"According to the current situation, our symptoms should not continue to worsen."

"As long as we can function for one more day, we will do our best to contribute to this territory."

Cao Xing asked: "Then how many years do you think you can live given your current condition?"

The old village chief thought for a moment, "I probably still have three or four years to live... Those younger villagers can probably still live for more than ten years..."

"I see."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and asked no more questions.

Then he pressed the communication device on his ear.

"Da Zhuang, arrange for a polar man to go to the basement and bring up a bucket of milk."

"It's the milk of the Cloud Yak."

He specifically instructed.

After hearing the order, Da Zhuang immediately took action.

After a while, he and another polar man came to Cao Xing carrying a bucket of milk.

"My Lord, can I just put it here for you?"

"Yes."

After Dazhuang and the others gently put down the bucket of milk.

Cao Xing went straight over and opened the lid of the wooden barrel, and a strong aroma of milk wafted out.

Then he took out a glass from his backpack and filled it with milk.

"Chief Zelko, come and try this."

After hearing this, the old village chief quickly walked forward and carefully took the glass from Cao Xing's hand.

He didn't know what cloud yak was and thought it was just ordinary milk, so he drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking, he smacked his lips.

"My Lord, this milk tastes really good. It tastes better than any milk I have ever tasted before."

"I feel warm in my stomach..."

The old village chief had a simple smile on his wrinkled face.

And Cao Xing was observing his situation.

At this moment, the old village chief suddenly bowed his body.

The expression on his face also changed, his pupils suddenly widened, and he covered his stomach tightly!
The villagers behind him exclaimed when they saw this scene.

"Village Chief, what's wrong with you?"

"village head!?"

There was worry, panic, and fear in everyone's eyes!

Although they knew that their lord would not harm them.

But they still felt scared when the old village chief suddenly had this reaction after drinking the glass of milk.

However, after a few seconds, the old village chief gradually straightened up.

He waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

Then, he said excitedly: "My Lord, what kind of magical milk is this?"

"I feel as if my internal organs are being nourished by some magical force, and the symptoms of frost rot have been alleviated a lot!"

Hearing this, the villagers of Puteng Village all looked confused.

And when they heard that the symptoms of frost rot had been alleviated a lot, everyone's pupils widened!

Even my breathing became a little rapid!
And they also knew the Lord's intention.

It turned out that the magical milk was used to help the old village chief cure his physical illness.

The polar man Da Zhuang said proudly, "You guys don't know, right?"

“This is the milk of the Cloud Yak!”

"This kind of milk is priceless. The glass that the old village chief just drank is worth 20,000 kronor!"

Upon hearing this, the pupils of the entire Puteng Village suddenly contracted.

They didn't know what cloud yaks were, they only knew that they drank 20,000 kronor just now in that glass of milk!
This money is enough for them to buy food for a year!

When the old village chief Zelko heard this number, he immediately looked distressed.

I even wanted to spit out the glass of milk.

Cao Xing shook his head. "Don't worry about the price of this milk. As long as it can restore your health, that's good enough."

He looked at Zelko and asked, "Like the milk just now, how many times do you think you need to drink it before your body can fully recover?"

The old village chief's eyes became cloudy, and he replied, "My Lord... maybe... maybe five or six more times?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

The effect of Cloud Yak is still excellent.

According to the old village chief, their symptoms will recover in about five or six days.

And these more than one hundred people only drink more than 20 liters a day.

After seven days, it's only more than 100 liters.

Although it seems like a bit of a loss, after all, these 100 liters of milk converted into crowns can be used to buy more slaves.

However, Mr. Cao owns dozens of yaks and has no shortage of this.

Just be happy.

Moreover, compared with other slaves, these villagers have special skills and can create more value for themselves.

So Cao Xing said directly: "I understand, starting from tomorrow."

"All of you can have a glass of milk every morning. I will tell the cafeteria."

The villagers looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Then someone whispered.

"This... Lord, how can we be so worthy as to enjoy such precious resources..."

"Yes, Lord, such precious milk is not something that we humble commoners are qualified to enjoy..."

Cao Xing shook his head.

"In my territory, there are no commoners or nobles, only people who can contribute to me."

"Your physical fitness is too poor now, and your work efficiency is too low. The top priority is to take care of your health first."

"Don't be reluctant to drink it, and don't hide it. Do you understand?"

At this moment, the old face of Village Chief Zelko was full of tears.

He was about to kneel on the ground, but then he remembered the rules of this territory.

So he bent down and said with emotion: "Thank you, Lord."

"Your kindness is like a rebirth for us."

Other villagers followed suit and expressed their gratitude.

[Because you care about your subordinates, the loyalty of the territory member: Ale has been greatly improved. The current loyalty is 87]

[Because you care about your subordinates, the loyalty of Zelko, a member of the territory, has been greatly improved. The current loyalty is 92]

【Because of you……】

...

...

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then said, "Okay, let's all go back and rest."

"I have a new task for you guys tomorrow."

After hearing this, the villagers immediately did as they were told.

But when they left, everyone had a happy smile on their face.

Da Zhuang, who was standing next to him, touched his head and said innocently, "Lord, you are as good to us as a father."

"Our clan leader once said that if you can treat every lord under you kindly, regardless of their status, you will be able to accomplish great things."

"In the future, you will definitely become a lord famous throughout the continent."

Facing Da Zhuang's flattery, Cao Xing laughed and scolded: "Go away, I don't have a son as old as you."

"Now, take this bucket of milk back to the warehouse."

Da Zhuang smiled innocently, "As you command, Lord!"

After saying that, he and another polar man moved the milk back.

After everyone left.

Cao Xing thought about whether he had anything else to deal with.

Then, he thought of the power of the Church of Light, which seemed to have completely withdrawn from the Snowstorm Plains recently.

And... there is Fitz Walker, who is both a black robe priest and a baron.

"Let's take a look at this new baron and see how he's doing lately."

So he pressed the communication device on his ear.

"Fitz Walker, it's me."

...

...

at the same time.

In the lavishly decorated Baron's mansion, Fitz Walker, who had just succeeded to the throne, was lying on a large chair with a look of enjoyment on his face.

There were some beautiful maids in front, behind, and around him, gently massaging his body.

Fitz enjoyed the service of the maids and closed his eyes comfortably.

In front of him was a mature woman with a decent appearance and graceful demeanor.

The beautiful woman's face was filled with worry and sorrow.

"Fitz...you can't go on like this..."

"After your father passed away, there were still many things left to deal with."

"You need to reorganize the family's business, check the accounts of the shops one by one, and negotiate business cooperation with other nobles."

"You are now the man of our family and the new baron. You need to deal with these matters as soon as possible."

As Fitz Walker listened to the beautiful woman's instructions, a look of impatience gradually appeared on his face.

He waved his hand.

"I understand mother, I will take care of these things."

"You should go back and rest first."

The mature woman looked at him like this and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Finally, he sighed, turned around helplessly and left.

Not long after the woman left.

Fitz Walker suddenly heard that familiar voice in his ears. He trembled all over and sat up suddenly from the stool.

This action frightened the maids beside him and they trembled. They asked softly, "Baron, what's wrong with you?"

Fitz quickly stood up and spoke quickly.

"Get out of here, quickly."

The maids had confused looks on their faces.

Seeing that they were still there, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Fitz's eyes.

"Three seconds. If anyone appears in my sight again, they will all die!"

Hearing this, all the maids were frightened.

Because they knew that the baron would really do such a thing.

He immediately got up from the ground in a panic, and then fled from there in a panic.

Wait until there is no one in the room.

The murderous intent on Fitz Walker's face disappeared instantly.

Then there was a look of reverence.

"Master, I'm here." "I'm very sorry, it took a while to get those servants away."

Cao Xing didn't care, but asked, "What's the recent situation of the Baron's Mansion?"

"My Lord, there haven't been any changes in the Baron's Mansion recently. Those who need training are trained, and those who need taxation are taxed."

"However, since the battle in Duolun Lake City, the Church of Light has not sent anyone to look for me again."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It seems that the Church of Light evacuated quite cleanly."

Fitz chuckled and said, "Yes, the Church of Light overestimated its own capabilities and actually challenged the dignity of the kingdom. It has learned a lesson."

"The master is more far-sighted."

Cao Xing simply ignored his flattery.

"Fitz, let me ask you a question."

"Master, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."

The new baron had great respect for Cao Xing.

However, with a favorability of 100 and his life under control, he couldn't help but respect her.

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

When Fitz Walker heard this, he was startled at first, and a mixture of shock and surprise flashed in his eyes.

Almost without thinking, he replied: "Yes!"

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, barons are just lower-ranking nobles.

In our words, it is equivalent to the representative of a small force in a place.

Only by becoming a viscount or a marquis can one enter the power system of the kingdom.

Listen to his straightforward answer.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Very good. Now I'll give you a chance. It depends on whether you can seize it."

Fitz immediately replied respectfully: "Master, Fitz will do his best to seize the opportunity you have given me!"

"If I can go one step further and become a higher-ranking noble."

"I will use my strength to better serve the master. As long as it is something the master wants, I will do my best to find it for you!"

Cao Xing also laughed after hearing this.

"It's good that you have this awareness."

"Then I'll tell you."

Fitz Walker immediately concentrated and listened carefully.

"Recently, the king has been seeking the attention of all members of the Church of Light within the kingdom."

"Including those black-robed priests like you who are hidden in the business system or the power system."

Fitz was slightly startled, and then asked tentatively: "Master, what do you mean..."

Cao Xing said directly: "I will tell you the names of several black-robed priests in Yongshuang Main City. Go and report them."

"Or just collect evidence yourself and bring people to arrest them."

"If we can collect evidence of their private contact with the Church of Light and capture them, it will be a great achievement."

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

Now the old king hates the Church of Light to the core!

If he could take this opportunity to catch these traitors.

Coupled with his status as a baron, there is a high probability that he will be promoted.

Fitz was extremely excited and said solemnly.

"I understand, Master. I will go to the main city of Yongshuang soon to collect evidence about these black-robed priests."

"Thank you for the directions, Master. Fitz Walker will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Ever since he made the soul contract with Cao Xing, his faith in the God of Light has been overwhelmed.

Therefore, he had no objection at all to betraying other black-robed priests. On the contrary, he felt at ease.

"Very good, come and see me again after you successfully become a Viscount."

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

After hearing the last sentence, Fitz Walker's breathing became even faster.

My admiration for Cao Xing has reached its peak.

He was even glad that he was Cao Xing's slave.

Otherwise, if he continued to work for the God of Light, not to mention becoming a viscount, even his position as a baron would be lost!

Then, Cao Xing selected the names of several black-robed priests and told Fitz Walker their identities.

The new baron also remembered these names well.

After a pause, Cao Xing continued: "Besides this matter, I have something else to ask you."

"I'm missing something now, and I need you to help me find it."

At this moment, Fitz Walker had already regarded Cao Xing's words as an oracle.

"Master, just give me your orders. I will mobilize all my forces to help you find it."

Cao Xing nodded, "The two things I want are relatively rare."

"One is called a space crystal, and the other is a square stone seal."

These two things are the main materials for building large-scale space teleportation arrays and statues of the God of Craftsmen.

Fitz Walker thought for a moment, then said, "Master, I do have a space crystal..."

“I saw this kind of thing in my father’s private warehouse.”

Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly, "You mean, your father has this kind of crystal in his small warehouse?"

"Yes."

"How many are there!" Cao Xing asked excitedly.

"There are probably... more than 600 of them. Master, have you seen enough?"

A strong look of joy appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"That's enough, bring it to me!"

Fitz Walker also replied immediately: "Okay master, I will have someone deliver it to you tomorrow."

"As for the stone seal at the back... I haven't heard of it, but I will have someone look for it later."

Cao Xing nodded, "Fitz Walker, you are very good."

"Then do it."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

There was a faint smile on Cao Xing's lips.

Although it cost him a precious epic contract scroll to conquer this baron.

But so far, the investment has paid off.

The next step is to let this puppet grow and strive to maximize the benefits.

In the end, if Fitz Walker could really become an earl or even a duke, then Cao Xing would have gained control of an important official of the kingdom in disguise.

It will be very convenient for him to do whatever he wants at that time.

This style of manipulating the overall situation behind the scenes is most suitable for me.

After doing all this, Cao Xing thought: "Tomorrow, these wind mages will also go to the battlefield."

"It seems that I need to work overtime to give them additional status."

So he returned to the lord's cabin and explained the situation to Liu Muxue.

The two walked out of the hut together and called out Ilena, the old wizard Tyran, and other residents with single-target BUFFs.

It took four or five hours to add buffs to those wind mages.

Everyone was busy until twelve o'clock in the evening before returning to their rooms to rest.

Of course, the one who worked the hardest was Liu Muxue.

She led her men into battle all day, and at night she worked tirelessly to use her skills, exhausting her mental energy over and over again.

Cao Xing also held her and loved her for more than an hour.

They fell asleep in each other's arms only after making this beauty completely satisfied.

The next day...

[Attention all survivors: The third day of the challenge of 'Zhoma's Claw' has officially begun...]

【Weather forecast...】

...

...

When the familiar system prompt sounded.

The beauty beside the pillow woke up first.

It seemed that after Cao Xing's hard work last night, she became full of energy.

There was an excitement on her ruddy face.

"Axing, it's dawn."

"Should we split up our forces today?"

Looking at her high morale, Cao Xing smiled and shook his head.

"Mu Xue, you should lead the soldiers to fight today."

"Then let Assam be the commander of the other team and lead them into battle."

"I have to go to the Ascalon Underground Palace and open the treasure house."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue seemed to remember something and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.

"You mean... the treasure house in the underground palace of the dead!"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, this way, your weapon can be repaired."

A surprised smile also appeared on Liu Muxue's face.

"Yes, go ahead, Xing. Leave this to me."

"I will protect our territory well and get more points!"

Hearing this, a hint of emotion appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Because of her original family background, Liu Muxue has never felt loved since childhood.

In addition, her parents had her completely under their control and did not give her any breathing space.

She tried again and again to break away from her original family, but she never had the chance, nor the courage.

Now that he has come to this world, he unexpectedly teams up with Cao Xing.

Through repeated battles, she gradually became stronger, so much so that she has now cut off all ties with her original family.

Later, he actively participated in the construction of the territory and developed a strong sense of belonging to the territory.

For her, this is also her home.

A home worth protecting with her life.

Cao Xing stroked her hair and kissed her beautiful face.

"Axing..."

Cao Xing smiled, saying everything.

The two of them simply washed up and then went out together.

Dahua also cleaned his armor and let Cao Xing put it on comfortably.

at the same time.

In the large square in the center of the territory, hundreds of citizens were already waiting.

In addition to nearly three hundred staff members.

There are more than 500 fighters.

All together, there are about 800 people.

It is quite spectacular to see so many people standing together according to their military branches.

Cao Xing's face showed a serious expression, and then he said, "Staff, come up and report to me first."

Hearing the order, the polar man Duan took a step forward.

He took the lead and said, "Dear Lord, I would like to report to you the progress of our work over the past two days."

"First, the advanced brewing workshop you arranged has been completed, and the bakery, warrior camp, and archer training ground have all been upgraded to the intermediate level."

"In addition, the advanced machinery factory is still under construction and is expected to be completed today."

When Cao Xing heard this progress, he thought about it for a while.

The most important of these is the advanced brewing workshop.

Once this thing starts running, it can brew wine in batches, which also means that Cao Xing has another source of income!
