Lynn accepts the allegiance of three supporting manor lords, including Helena, for strategic defense and tribute. Helena arrives at Morgan Town with a gift of linen garments, intending to express gratitude for Lynn's actions against Marquis Jon Zuck, which saved her own manor. Lynn, however, dismisses her gratitude, stating his actions were for Morgan Town's benefit and that he intends to rule Alba Town as a ruler or enslaver.

Often only the immediate benefits can be seen, while the potential future dangers are disregarded.

Clearly.

Helena is not like those manor lords.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Helena became the Wells Manor Lord.

Lynn’s words took a turn, responding.

"In that case, I accept the gift brought by Helena Manor Lord!"

"Besides, I suppose Helena Manor Lord has other matters, correct?"

Helena’s heart was startled, just as she had suspected.

Upon entering the reception hall, Helena felt as though Lynn had seen through her!

Helena’s eyes shifted, hesitating in her heart.

Finally.

Helena steeled her heart and spoke.

"Lord, during the last visit to your manor castle, you promised to teach us the advanced cultivation and planting techniques for achieving a yield of one hundred eighty pounds per acre of barley."

"Now, in the autumn planting season, it’s precisely the time for cultivation and planting."

"So..."

Lynn mused: "Of course."

"Currently, Morgan Town is undergoing cultivation and planting!"

"Helena Manor Lord can send farmers who are skilled at learning or agricultural officers at any time to follow and learn."

"I will have my agricultural officer provide a detailed explanation on the techniques of cultivation and planting."

Helena’s delicate eyebrows raised, somewhat surprised.

Lynn agreed to her request so easily?

Even though previously Lynn did promise them.

But...

That is the advanced planting technique for barley yielding one hundred eighty pounds per acre.

Compared to the barley planting in their manor, it increases by eighty to ninety pounds.

Once they learn how to plant, they can harvest nearly two hundred more of barley.

With enough barley, they can feed more peasants and increase labor force.

Or use it for sale to earn more gold pounds!

Compared to the advanced planting techniques.

The six thousand sets of linen robe and pants she brought are completely insignificant!

The value of six thousand sets of linen robe and pants is fixed.

However, once the advanced planting technique is learned, it can be used continuously for cultivation and planting.

Yielding an endless, abundant harvest of barley!

Moreover.

Wells, Orlando, and Kennedy Manors have just completed the division of Connelly and Lewis Manor’s lands.

She has enough farmland for cultivation and planting.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Helena quickly spoke.

"Thank you for your considerate thinking, Lord!"

Lynn nodded slightly, just about to speak.

A guard stepped into the reception hall.

The guard hesitated, glancing at Lynn, then at Helena.

Lynn addressed the guard from a distance.

"What’s the matter?"

Upon hearing the Lord’s inquiry, the guard hurriedly took three steps as two, coming forward.

The guard bowed respectfully and responded.

"Lord, lunch is ready. Shall it be served now?"

Lynn then recalled he hadn’t yet dined, addressing the guard.

"Bring it up."

The guard complied promptly, bowed, and withdrew.

Lynn’s gaze shifted, turning to Helena who was standing firm, and said.

"Lunch time has arrived."

"If Helena Manor Lord does not mind, you may stay for lunch before departing."

Helena’s brows raised again, with almost no extra thought, she responded.

"If it’s not too much trouble, then Helena won’t stand on ceremony."

The purpose of Helena’s visit to Morgan Town was to increase her interactions with Lord Lynn.

While increasing familiarity, strengthening the bonds and contacts with Lord Lynn.

Thus, preparing for the future exchange of armor and weapons with Lord Lynn!

As guards came and went.

Dishes were placed on the dining table in the reception hall.

Lynn sat at the main seat of the dining table, Helena took the secondary seat beside.

With Red’s assistance.

The tall wine glasses in front of Lynn and Helena were filled with Lexus Gin.

Gazing at the clear, transparent wine glasses and the golden-colored liquid inside.

Helena’s amber eyes widened.

Not just because of the delicate glazed glass.

But also because of the enchanting golden color of the liquor.

Even after inheriting Wells Manor and becoming manor lord for so long.

It was Helena’s first time seeing such a stunning liquor!

Capturing Helena’s astonished expression in his eyes, Lynn.

Moved his right hand, raised the glass before him, and extended it to Helena, calmly introducing.

"This is Lexus Gin, brewed from the brewing workshop in my domain."

Seeing Lynn’s gesture, Helena nodded in understanding.

She too lifted the glass before her, gently clinking it against Lynn’s glass.

Without many words, Lynn and Helena brought the gold gin in their glasses to their faces.

Helena’s rosy, smooth lips slightly parted, allowing the golden liquor to enter her mouth.

In the moment of entry.

Helena’s delicate eyebrows visibly raised.

Unconcerned about the remnants of red lipstick left at the edge of the tall wine glass.

Helena attentively savored the warmth spreading through her body and the lingering taste in her mouth.

Waiting for the comfortable warmth in her body to dissipate.

Helena, with some delight, praised.

"Lord, the taste of this Lexus Gin is excellent!"

Though Helena is not much of a drinker.

Compared to drinking, Helena would rather inhale a few more puffs of mugwort smoke!

But now, tasting such delicious liquor, Helena is still generous in her praises.
