Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem - Chapter 875 - 329: Hidden Space Compartment, Striking It Rich!
Chapter 875: Chapter 329: Hidden Space Compartment, Striking It Rich!
As for the final indenture contracts and deeds, there’s no need to check them.
They’re all contracts for some women.
Those deeds are plots of land in Dorun Lake City, currently useless.
A satisfied expression appeared on his face once more.
“The takings from this tavern are truly abundant!”
“Indeed, this trip was worthwhile.”
“As long as the kingdom’s army doesn’t launch an attack, I can keep plundering.”
“Until I empty this entire Giant City.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile.
However, just as he was about to leave the tavern.
Suddenly, he heard a sensation coming from the street outside.
The group of Hunters shouted outside: “Bishop Sains has returned!”
“Quickly open the city gates to welcome Lord Bishop!”
Cao Xing paused slightly upon hearing this.
“Hmm? The bishop has returned?”
“Could it be that the previous bishops were not in the city?”
During the Raid on those camps, Cao Xing had occasionally heard two White Robed Priests mention.
It seemed all members above White Robed Priests of the Light Church received some sort of strength enhancement.
The Red Robed Bishop he encountered before was at least Fifth Rank.
This means the Red Robed Bishop in the city must be Sixth Tier, or even above Sixth Tier in strength!
Such strong individuals have extremely keen perception abilities on all fronts!
Cao Xing thought to himself: “Better not to risk going outside, I’ll just hide here in the tavern. So long as that Red Robed Bishop doesn’t approach this street, I should remain undiscovered.”
Thinking of this, he tried his best to control his breathing, standing quietly in place.
Soon, the sound of the city gate opening reached them, even two blocks away.
Then, dense footsteps sounded from outside.
It sounded as though they were heading towards the street where he was located.
Cao Xing was taken aback instantly, “Oh no, could they be coming for me?”
“I haven’t plundered enough yet!”
“No, the Red Robed Bishop’s perception shouldn’t be so exaggerated. Could they just be passing by?”
While he waited restlessly.
The dense footsteps on the street grew closer and closer.
Soon, the footsteps passed by the tavern, heading straight ahead.
This made Cao Xing gradually exhale in relief.
“Thankfully, I wasn’t discovered, they must be just passing by.”
However, just as he finished speaking.
The Red Robed Bishop outside seemed to sense something was off and turned back with his men.
And directly stopped at the tavern’s entrance.
With his astonishing hearing, Cao Xing could hear the conversations of those outside even through the building.
A Cultist asked with confusion: “Lord Bishop, what is it?”
The Red Robed Bishop did not speak, but instead directed his gaze towards [Illusion Dream Tavern].
Then, a sonorous voice rang out.
“Who is inside the tavern? Come out!”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Cultists were taken aback.
They instantly realized something.
“Someone’s inside?”
“Who is it? Could an Assassin from the Ice Crystal Kingdom have infiltrated the city?”
“Damn it! Prepare to fight!”
In an instant, everyone unsheathed their weapons.
“Clang! Clang clang!”
Instantly, the atmosphere outside became murderous!
Meanwhile, Cao Xing, hiding inside, looked exasperated.
“Damn it, these bishops really do have strong perception, they managed to find me!”
“Could I be exposed this quickly?”
In this brief moment, Cao Xing’s mind raced.
Then he began considering his strategy.
At this moment, the Red Robed Bishop’s voice, filled with killing intent, rang out again.
“No matter who you are, you have five seconds.”
“If you don’t come out in five seconds, I will raze this construction to the ground!”
“Don’t think about running away. In Dorun Lake City, you’ll never escape my grasp.”
As the words fell, he began the countdown.
“Five…”
“Four…”
With the countdown, other cultists started to move, surrounding the entire tavern!
“Three…”
The countdown was about to reach ’one’.
“Creak!”
The tavern’s main door was pushed open.
At this moment, at least a dozen cultists at the door raised their weapons, ready to fight the intruders.
However, to their surprise.
The one walking out from the tavern was not an intruder.
But a hunter clad in linen cotton clothes, draped with a shadow cloak, also wearing a mask.
His small and thin figure constantly shivered in the cold wind.
Stuttering, he said: “L-L-Lord Bishop…”
At this moment, the red robed bishop outside, along with those hunters, all showed a puzzled expression.
None of them seemed to expect that someone coming out would be merely an ordinary church member.
This red robed bishop also felt quite strange.
He frowned but did not make a move.
“Take off your mask.”
Upon hearing this, the small hunter subtly breathed a sigh of relief in his mind.
Following the other’s command, he stretched out a pair of pale hands and tremblingly removed the mask from his face.
There was revealed a pale-skinned, yet very youthful face, only fifteen or sixteen years old.
At this moment, as the boy took off the mask, perhaps due to the large movement.
Accidentally, a bunch of crowns leapt from his pocket, dropping to the ground.
“Ding! Ding-ding-ding!”
The sound of coins clattering echoed continuously.
Everyone’s gaze instantly fixed on the crowns that fell to the ground.
The young hunter, as if a secret was exposed, terrified, turned pale and stood frozen, not daring to move.
Now, it seems other cultists realized something, a teasing smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.
However, the red robed bishop did not speak but showed a pondering expression in his eyes.
Seemed to be recalling this person’s appearance in his mind.
Yet, as mentioned before, the Light Church’s power is immense.
Combined with them being a covert force.
To ensure that a single exposure won’t lead to everyone being discovered.
Each red robed bishop and black robed priest is responsible for different members.
Coupled with recent chaotic times, plenty of newcomers enter Dorun Lake City every day.
Thus, he couldn’t completely remember which instructor was responsible for this person.
And Cao Xing was gambling, betting they couldn’t remember a common member’s face.
This red robed bishop considered for a moment, then asked again: “What’s your name?”
Cao Xing shakily replied: “I-I… I’m called Mike…”
Without waiting for the other to speak, Cao Xing continued: “L-Lord Bishop… I’ll never dare again!”
“I have a seriously ill mother at home who urgently needs money for treatment, I-I… truly had no choice… but to do this!”
After speaking, he took out an iron box from his arms, fully loaded with tens of thousands of crowns.
“Lord Bishop, I didn’t steal much, this is everything I took from the shop!”
Upon seeing this scene, the red robed bishop remained silent for a moment.
For a time, the atmosphere instantly solidified.
Everyone was waiting for the red robed bishop to speak, to see how he would handle this clueless young newcomer.
A moment later, the red robed bishop spoke: “The church has repeatedly instructed, the resources in this city must be transferred to the church headquarters for future development.”
“Yet you ignored the rules, privately stealing assets belonging to the church.”
“According to the regulations, individuals who betray the church like you will face severe punishment!”
His tone carried a hint of threat.
Upon hearing this, the young man before him trembled even more in fright.
But secretly had already prepared to transform into a demon form, ready for an outbreak.
Including other hunters, who at this moment showed schadenfreude expressions.
They seemed to foresee the fate of this youngster!
