This was a relatively simple matter.
However, Sabina, with her Fourth Rank strength, was of no use, as she was just an ordinary person without any combat skills.
So, it was necessary to change her profession, at least to give her some combat power.
Currently, there were three Training Camps in his Territory, which could train these ordinary people into Professionals.
They were Frost Archers, Ascalon Soldiers, and Shadow Assassins.
However, to train these civilians, relevant Training Books were needed.
And Cao Xing did not have any on hand.
But this was not a big issue, Cao Xing was confident he would get them soon.
"Just right, I'm preparing to make a trade later."
"Let's see if I can gather a few Training Books."
Cao Xing was not worried about this.
After all, the drop rate for Training Books was quite high, and last time, an Elite Goblin dropped one.
And in the entire Zone 17, with over two hundred thousand people, there would surely be some lucky ones who got the matching Training Books.
Just as Cao Xing was about to head to the Blacksmith Shop,
a graceful blue figure strolled toward him.
Cao Xing looked over and found it was, surprisingly, the person he had brought back from the Castle yesterday.
The Witch — Franciska.
She was wearing a blue evening gown today, but it couldn't conceal her impressive figure and stunning appearance.
If yesterday's red evening gown was cold and unapproachable,
then today's blue gown made her look incomparably beautiful and elegant.
Franciska came to Cao Xing's side and said softly, "Lord, as discussed before, I will take on the alchemy tasks of the Territory."
"Please assign me today's tasks."
Cao Xing nodded, then took out a recipe from his backpack and handed it to her.
"Take a look at this recipe first."
After hearing this, Franciska took the recipe from Cao Xing, a thoughtful look in her deep green eyes.
The more she looked at it, the more her delicate brows furrowed,
leading to a slight shock in her eyes.
"This recipe... is actually an improved version!"
"So that's it... A medium-sized Life Secret Medicine enhanced with Spirit Breath Grass, supplemented by another alchemy method, can greatly boost its potency?"
"Impressive, the one who could improve this recipe, their alchemy skills are certainly not inferior to mine!"
As expected, Franciska, with her Master Level in Alchemy Mastery, was well aware of the value of this Secret Medicine recipe.
Because this was a rare recipe Cao Xing had obtained from an Ancient Treasure Box.
According to the System, that civilization had already perished.
Cao Xing continued, "Given sufficient materials, how many bottles of this potion can you make in a day?"
The beautiful witch in front of him pondered for a moment, then replied, "Around seven to eight hundred bottles."
Hearing this number, Cao Xing was startled.
Wow, she could make that many!
That's seven or eight times more efficient than Sabina!
According to Cao Xing's estimate, a bottle of Improved Life Secret Medicine, was worth at least six to seven hundred Ice Dragon Marks.
Which meant, relying solely on Franciska to produce potions,
he could earn four to five hundred thousand Ice Dragon Marks a day.
Cao Xing praised, "Franciska, you are a powerful and learned woman."
Upon hearing the praise, the witch before him curved into a smile, "I'm also very happy to be able to help you."
Cao Xing nodded as well, "Then, you can start alchemy."
"I've already placed your Witch Cauldron in the Alchemy Workshop."
After saying this, the beautiful witch turned around, her dress swirling into an arc, like a blue flower blooming.
She gracefully walked toward the Alchemy Room.
"Very good, it seems this Commander Level witch is quite obedient and also has high Loyalty."
Cao Xing knew this was related to him rescuing the witch.
Then, his gaze turned to another Commander Level presence in the Territory — Victoria.
She still dressed like a farm wife, tending to the crops with Dahua in the vegetable greenhouse.
Recently, Victoria's Loyalty had increased a bit, but was still less than 60.
So currently, she was still unwilling to open up to Cao Xing.
But that was okay, at least she didn't plan on running away anymore.
Cao Xing smiled, thinking, "Once I raise the Mind Energy Queen's Loyalty, including Sarah, my Territory will have three Commander Level presences."
"Each Commander is a powerful force, and with Victoria's Skills, the strength of the Territory will once again increase."
Cao Xing thought cheerfully.
"Now, it's time to check on how Harold is doing."
"I wonder how many arrows he has crafted these past two days."
With anticipation, Cao Xing walked straight into the Blacksmith Shop.
Upon entering, he heard the 'clang clang clang' of smithing.
Harold was engrossed in his work, and on his workbench, he was crafting the Nightmare Arrows desperately needed by Cao Xing.
Harold was so focused that he didn't even notice Cao Xing's arrival.
It wasn't until Cao Xing called out to him that a look of surprise appeared on the dwarf's face.
"Lord, when did you arrive?"
Harold rubbed his head, "Sorry, Lord, I didn't notice you come in."
Cao Xing shook his head and continued to ask, "Harold, how's the work going these past two days?"
The dwarf put down the iron hammer in his hand, then respectfully said, "Lord, as per your instructions, I have been tirelessly crafting those Nightmare Iron Arrows these past few days."
