Chapter 652: Chapter 268: Encounter the Lake Goddess Again, Receive the Reward! (6400)_2

After speaking, he used his large, basin-sized hand to pat the back of the goblin laborer a few times, making him cough continuously.

And the group of goblins, upon hearing this, understood that the Lord before them was serious.

He did not intend to punish the goblins.

Suddenly, all the goblin laborers respectfully said, “Thank you, benevolent Lord, may the Earth Cave God bless you…”

They all got up from the ground.

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

At this moment, the Ascalon Soldier Captain, Yaskin, also walked over respectfully and handed a backpack to Cao Xing.

“Lord, these are the crowns you gave me last time. Purchasing these slaves and establishing connections cost nearly 30,000 crowns, and there are still 170,000 crowns left inside.”

“There is also a detailed purchase list inside for your review.”

Cao Xing did not immediately take it but fell into thought.

After a moment, he directly said, “Yaskin, I have another task for you.”

Yaskin respectfully said, “Lord, please command!”

Cao Xing said, “Continue to hold onto this money and develop in other villages, investigate.”

“If you encounter another special situation like today, remember to contact me.”

“It’s okay if there are no special situations, just continue to purchase some population back.”

Yaskin was considered reliable in his work and smooth in his dealings, not a rigid person.

Therefore, it was still appropriate for him to handle these matters.

After hearing, Yaskin respectfully said, “At your command, Lord!”

“Then I will not return to the territory for the time being. I will stay in Anno River Village tonight and then look at other villages tomorrow.”

Cao Xing shook his head, “You don’t necessarily have to go to villages, you can also go to larger places.”

“About three hundred kilometers from here, there’s a city called Merlin City. You can take this money and develop in Merlin City.”

“Establish connections there first, and later I might bring people to Merlin City, at which point your arrangements will be very important.”

As they say, having connections makes things easier.

Merlin City was the largest city in Gale Snow Plain, and Cao Xing was highly likely to visit that city for future development.

So sending Yaskin in advance was considered planning ahead.

This Soldier Captain also understood the importance of the task, nodded seriously, and said, “I understand, Lord, I will handle it!”

After speaking, he picked up the backpack in his hand and quickly left.

Then, Cao Xing looked at the dozen or so villagers and the painter Edward.

This man who claimed to be targeted by a demon looked at Cao Xing with gratitude.

It was this Lord, who did not disdain his strange condition, and even invited him to join his territory.

“So now, welcome to join us, let us build a thriving territory together!”

After speaking, Cao Xing gave recruitment invitations to all the goblins present, including the newcomers.

The next moment, a system prompt appeared.

[Recruitment Success: Goblin Labor Grosh/Morosh/Amush… have joined your territory, territory population +137…]

…

Cao Xing’s population instantly surged!

A smile appeared on his face.

Good!

This time, having gained so many goblin laborers and villagers, the staff was completely sufficient in the short term!

Besides that, he also brought back a painter with advanced painting mastery.

Not bad, not bad…

Meanwhile.

These goblin laborers felt a surge of life force enter their bodies the instant they joined Cao Xing’s forces.

Even though they were just first-tier creatures, the sensation was palpable.

The goblins exclaimed, “Earth Cave God, my body seems to have become healthier!”

“That’s right, Amush, the chronic ailments I had from working have started recovering!”

“My chest doesn’t hurt anymore! Oh my, what happened? This is incredible!”

Cao Xing was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood.

The reason these goblin laborers could feel their life force increase naturally was due to the blessing of the Pale Tree.

This Holy Tree could now increase the Life Value of all territory members by 44%.

As soon as they joined, they could feel this blessing, which was extremely powerful!

However, Cao Xing hadn’t expected the suddenly increased life force to actually help them recover from internal ailments.

Blom, standing next to them, blew on his mustache and said, “Little goblins, don’t be surprised, this is just one of the miraculous powers in our territory. When you contribute, you can feel even more amazing powers!”

“You might even gain the speed of wind, the power of a bear, and the armor of a turtle!”

Blom was referring to Hilda’s [Queen’s Will], Liu Muxue’s [Courage Blessing], and [Holy Shield].

Hearing this, both the goblin laborers and the villagers on the scene showed expressions of shock in their eyes!

The blessing effect of the Pale Tree had already exceeded their understanding.

And yet this big fellow said it was just the most ordinary kind.

“Oh! Strong giant, is what you say true?”

“Can we really have these powerful abilities later?”

Blom smiled, “Certainly.”

“Now, please pledge your loyalty to our Lord!”

Upon hearing this, the goblin laborers were about to kneel.

But they recalled Cao Xing’s earlier command, so they all bent over and bowed.

“Great Lord, we are willing to offer you our loyalty!”

[Due to your display of powerful abilities, Goblin Labor Grosh’s Loyalty has increased, current Loyalty: 67]
