After all, the Child of Light was the Survivor, and he would eventually beco aware of Cao Xing’s presence.
But now, by playing the role of the Red Robed Bishop, he had bought himself quite a bit of ti.
And most critically, he had put the baron’s offspring under his control.
With this relationship layer, the operational possibilities for Cao Xing increased significantly.
As long as he turned him into his puppet, he would effectively hold the baron’s power.
In this Territory, Cao Xing could do anything conveniently.
In the future, he might even take the opportunity to infiltrate the Bright Church!
As for the risk of exposure?
He naturally had considered this as well.
However, as ntioned earlier, his developnt speed was rapid.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he could disregard the threat of the Bright Church.
Cao Xing exclaid with joy, "Currently, the problem with the Natives has been resolved, and I even managed to subdue a baron’s offspring taking advantage of the situation."
"Next, I have to handle the matters at hand."
"Right now, Assam’s Knight Trial task is just one step away; I only need to help four more people who genuinely need it to obtain the complete Lake Lady’s Sword."
"And from the previous tasks, I’ve learned this ’Generosity Trial’ can be completed with those Natives."
"Looks like I need to visit nearby villages and see if anyone needs my help!"
After all, to Cao Xing, nothing was more important than a complete Legendary Weapon!
He was just about to set off.
At that mont, a static sound buzzed in Cao Xing’s ear.
A mont later, a middle-aged man’s voice spoke.
"Lord, this is Yaskin."
Hearing the voice, Cao Xing said, "Yaskin, how are things on your side?"
Earlier, he had sent the Soldier Captain out to purchase population and livestock.
It had been roughly two days now.
Yaskin reported, "Lord, things are going well so far; I’ve visited two villages and, through the connections with those Village Chiefs, have already purchased a dozen villagers."
"We are currently in Anno River Village, which is a large village."
"However, upon arriving here, we heard so news that I think might interest you, my Lord."
Cao Xing inquired in confusion, "Oh? What news? Tell about it."
Yaskin replied, "A mysterious figure is holding a fishing competition here."
"It’s said that the first prize is either 125 Goblin Laborers or a reward of 500,000 Crowns!"
"The second prize also offers 300,000 Crowns!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing’s eyes lit up instantly.
A fishing competition?
With the prize being over a hundred Goblin Laborers?
Well then, Cao Xing was just worried about not having enough workers!
Goblins, as a race living underground and in caves, excelled in mining.
Goblin Laborers, on the other hand, were a type of unit within the goblin clan specifically responsible for transporting ores, diligent and tireless.
This was fantastic news for Cao Xing!
"Haha, I still have plenty of bait on hand, plus a Mad King’s Fishing Rod. I must win the championship at this fishing competition!"
Cao Xing exclaid with delight, "Well done, Yaskin! I’ll gather my people and head to Anno River Village shortly."
Yaskin also responded, "Alright, my Lord. The fishing competition seems to start in the afternoon, so you might need to hurry."
"Okay, understood."
Cao Xing hung up the communication.
Then, he quickly glanced at the map.
He discovered that Anno River Village wasn’t far from his Territory, just over a hundred kiloters.
With a 100% increase in Move Speed, they could reach the village in just one hour.
At this mont, Cao Xing suddenly rembered sothing.
He took out a dirty doll from his backpack.
This was sothing he had found in the Witch Castle, called [Girl’s Doll].
The item description suggested looking for clues in Anno River Village.
"Goodness, isn’t this a stroke of luck?"
"I can visit Anno River Village to see if anyone needs my help to complete the Generosity Trial task."
"Then look for clues and deal with this Girl’s Doll at the sa ti."
"And then, conveniently participate in the fishing competition, winning the grand prize."
"Achieving three goals at once, haha!"
