System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1217 - 329: Helena Attends to Your Bath
Previously on System: Build My Own Territory...
Helena replied: "Just as the Lord said."
"Although Morgan Town and Alba Town are adjacent, traveling by carriage at night is indeed inconvenient."
"Helena respectfully follows orders..."
Lynn nodded, about to open his mouth to speak.
A thundering sound of hooves rang out beyond the manor castle.
The sound approached from afar, heading towards the manor castle.
At night in Morgan Town, both farmers and residents had all gone to rest.
Except for patrolling cavalry, there were hardly any residents moving about.
Lynn couldn’t help but turn his head to look.
Not only Lynn.
Helena, and Red and Lorenzo who were standing behind, all turned to look into the darkness beyond the manor castle.
There.
A torchlight stretched into a long line was quickly approaching.
As the sound of hooves quickly approached.
With the light from the torches held by the cavalry and the burning brazier on the walls.
It was clearly visible.
A lone unarmored cavalryman was riding towards them.
The cavalryman arrived beneath the walls and entered the manor castle.
In less than half a minute.
The sound of rapidly climbing the wall stairs echoed.
Lynn turned to look, Balin in his linen robe was striding towards him.
Under everyone’s gaze, Balin stopped a few meters in front of Lynn.
Bowed and greeted, speaking respectfully.
"My Lord, Balin has urgent news to report to you."
As Balin’s words fell, the open courtyard immediately fell into silence.
Standing aside, Helena instantly understood.
Clearly.
This middle-aged man, who returned overnight, had gathered secret intelligence that she couldn’t know.
Helena promptly spoke to Lynn.
"My Lord, then Helena will not disturb you..."
Lynn nodded, turned his gaze to Red, and spoke.
"Arrange a guard to escort the Helena Manor Lord to a clean bedroom and provide her with needed items."
Red responded immediately, saying.
"Yes, my Lord!"
As the response fell, Red directly summoned a guard to deliver Lynn’s instructions.
Under the guidance of the guard, Helena and her Guard Captain left the open courtyard and entered the reception hall.
Eventually, disappearing around the corner of the corridor.
Lynn withdrew his gaze, looking at Balin before him, and spoke.
"What urgent report?"
Balin bowed again, respectfully explaining.
"My Lord, according to the intelligence gathered by my subordinates."
"The Raven Organization’s assassin attempted to assassinate Simo!"
"But the assassin should have failed, Simo survived the assassination."
"And has issued orders to strengthen inspections of personnel leaving Kakasong City."
"The city has also posted the assassin’s portrait for a city-wide manhunt and capture..."
Lynn’s eyebrows slightly raised.
The Raven Killer Organization, Lynn’s mind held only a faint memory.
An obscure killer organization scattered across every corner of the Garonia Continent.
As long as the price is paid, the Raven Organization assassins will make attempts on various targets!
More information, Lynn did not know either.
Lynn thought for a moment.
If Simo had died in the assassination.
The Church would surely dispatch a new Church Bishop to Kakasong City to take office and manage.
Thus.
The mineral resources, armored soldiers, or other assets in the Lynn Territory would likely be known to the new Church Bishop.
What crisis would unfold next, Lynn could not control.
Simo surviving the assassination.
Was rather beneficial to Lynn.
Even if continuing to pay tithing to Simo did not concern Lynn.
Thirty Gold Pounds a month, three hundred sixty Gold Pounds a year.
For Lynn just starting to build his fortune, this amount was indeed unaffordable.
However.
For Lynn, now possessing several economic industries, it was a drop in the bucket!
Paying negligible Gold Pounds.
Let Church Bishop Simo unilaterally recognize Lynn’s legal ownership of Morgan Town.
This alone was worth it!
Lynn looked at Balin opposite him and continued to ask.
"Aside from this intelligence, is there anything else to report?"
Balin’s eyes turned, hesitated slightly, then replied.
"My Lord, that is all for now."
"Captain Gaspar instructed us that any effective intelligence obtained in Kakasong City must be promptly reported back to you."
"Only in this way can the value of intelligence be maximized."
Lynn nodded, asking.
"I instructed you to relay to Gaspar to make contact with Sir Ludovico Dons in Kakasong City, has there been progress?"
Balin explained in response.
"My Lord, making contact with Sir Ludovico Dons is something Captain Gaspar is personally undertaking, Balin cannot know temporarily."
"However, rest assured my Lord, once I return to Kakasong City, I will promptly relay your inquiry to Captain Gaspar!"
Lynn pondered aloud.
"If there are no other matters, then you may withdraw."
"Ensure safety on your return journey!"
Listening to the Lord’s care, Balin was filled with gratitude, hurriedly bowing.
"Yes, my Lord, Balin takes his leave."
Balin bowed and withdrew.
Within moments.
Balin mounted his horse and exited the manor castle gate.
Galloping away into the vast darkness beyond the manor castle.
Lynn remained standing in the open courtyard, watching Balin’s figure disappear into the darkness.
The more chaotic Kakasong City becomes, the more advantageous it is for Lynn.
