System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1258 - 336: Lecher (10,000 Words)

Listening to Lynn’s words, watching as Lynn raised his wine glass.

Ludovico immediately understood, and also picked up the wine glass in front of him, gently clinking it with Lynn’s.

Clink~

In the crisp sound of the glazed wine glasses.

Both Lynn and Ludovico downed the gin in their glasses in one go.

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Ludovico pondered for half a second, then slowly stood up.

"Lord Lynn, since things are decided, the two of us shall not linger more..."

Harry, sitting beside, also stood with him.

Lynn got up and said, "I’ll see you off."

Ludovico nodded slightly with gratitude.

Lynn rose from the wooden chair and led Ludovico and Harry, stepping out of the tavern.

Just after taking a few steps, Ludovico seemed to have thought of something and spoke.

"By the way, Lord Lynn, on the carriage I brought, there are 20,000 pounds of barley, just a little token for our first meeting."

"I hope Lord Lynn will accept it..."

Lynn raised an eyebrow slightly and replied.

"Thank you then, Sir Ludovico."

"Ludovico seems to quite like gin?"

"Then I’ll gift Sir Ludovico a thousand pounds of Lexus Gin as a return gesture!"

The originally somewhat low-spirited Ludovico’s eyes instantly lit up.

"The gin brewed in your territory truly tastes wonderful..."

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Lynn!"

Without Lynn having to explain, Red immediately summoned a guard.

After Red whispered a few sentences, the guard began to stride forward, running ahead.

When Lynn, Ludovico, and Harry arrived at the Lord’s Square.

The barley from Ludovico’s carriage had already been completely unloaded by the residents.

At this moment, they were transporting one clay jar after another, loading them into the carriage trunk.

Despite the still considerable distance.

Ludovico could clearly identify.

That it was the Lexus Gin Lynn mentioned!

After waiting for ten minutes or so.

Ludovico and Harry bowed slightly to Lynn, bid farewell, and took their seats in the carriage drawn by two horses.

Amidst the guards and coachmen issuing driving commands, the carriage team set off beyond the Lord’s Square.

Even though the sky was gradually getting dark.

It could not deter Ludovico’s determination to lead his carriage team away.

Watching as the carriage team drove away on the limestone road, gradually disappearing into the night.

Lynn retracted his gaze and headed back towards the distant castle.

As he walked, Lynn was lost in thought.

Bringing Ludovico to the territory, negotiating face-to-face for cooperation.

For him, it was all benefit, no harm!

Lynn intended to penetrate Kakasong City through various means, whether via the Church, free nobles, wealthy merchants, or the free people within the city.

Increasing his reputation and influence while extracting as much profit as possible from Kakasong City.

For example, paying the tithing to the Church could absolve merchants coming to the Lynn Territory from paying transit taxes.

Thereby attracting more merchants, transporting more goods to Morgan Town, to Lynn’s territory, promoting economic development in Morgan Town.

Additionally, Hunter was tasked with posting recruitment notices in taverns and talent markets, recruiting the skilled personnel and labor force Lynn needed.

Furthermore, by collaborating with Ludovico, Lynn could give the free noble forces in Kakasong City the confidence to resist the Church!

Thus restricting the Church’s grasp over the entire Kakasong City, quickly developing military power.

To avoid Bishop Semo becoming the next Viscount Jon Zack!

As for demanding Ludovico’s loyalty, as well as uniting other free nobles, wealthy merchants, and workshop masters to pledge loyalty.

Such was only a verbal promise, without any actual actions of loyalty...

Lynn never indulged such expectations.

Especially for a free noble like Ludovico Dons who holds the title of Sir.

Who especially values the theory of bloodline inheritance and class disparity!

From Ludovico’s initial attitude to his later forced humility due to life-threatening danger...

That was the disdain of Ludovico, who bore noble heritage, towards a minor lord’s rise in a remote territory!

Lynn could clearly understand.

Ludovico would never pledge loyalty to him!

Nobility, selfishness, violence, corruption—even moral degeneration.

But.

Lynn didn’t care.

As long as he maintained sufficiently strong military power, Lynn could crush them without hesitation!

Under the guards at the castle gate bowing in respect, Lynn, with Red, returned to the castle.

Kuisi had already arranged for the chef to prepare dinner, and it was all ready.

...

Under the veil of night.

In the illumination of torches held by the mounted guards.

The carriage procession traveled steadily along the limestone road through the forests and mountains.

Inside the carriage.

Gazing at the forests shrouded in darkness and the occasional flashing of variously colored beast eyes.

Ludovico’s brow was furrowed, his face filled with gravitas.

Sitting beside him, Harry looked as if he had something to say, but hesitated.

Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, Harry asked.

"Sir Ludovico..."

Just as Harry spoke.

Ludovico, who had been watching outside the carriage, suddenly raised his right hand, directly interrupting Harry.

Ludovico withdrew his gaze and muttered.

"We shall discuss after we’ve left!"

It seemed Harry realized something and immediately turned his head to look outside the carriage.

Indeed!

At the edge of the limestone road, there stood furnaces burning wood, radiating luminous light.
