System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1291 - 341: The Church Has Already Decayed!

"So, does Captain Samuel want to sell this group of orphans to me like slaves?"

Upon hearing this, Samuel immediately raised his eyebrows and spoke.

"Lord, you misunderstand."

"Samuel never resorts to selling slaves for profit."

Samuel continued his words.

"Samuel wishes to request Lord Lynn to take in this group of orphans."

"Provide them with a safe and stable home, supply them with food to fill their stomachs!"

Lynn spoke calmly.

"Although I employ the Free People in Kakasong City, although they are just a group of children."

"In my territory, there are houses and food sufficient for them to live."

"But... why should I agree?"

Upon hearing Lynn’s words, Samuel wasn’t surprised at all.

As if he already made his decision, he immediately spoke.

"Samuel knows this is a bit demanding."

"But Samuel is willing to offer the Fifteen Gold Pounds given by you every month as payment, requesting you to take them in!"

Lynn raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Captain Samuel, as you said, they are just a group of vagrants, a group of orphans..."

Samuel smiled somewhat helplessly and said.

"Yes, Lord."

"They are indeed just vagrants, just orphans..."

"Perhaps to you, Samuel’s actions seem absurd."

"But Lord, you may not know, only when Samuel interacts with them does he feel inexplicable peace of mind!"

"Seeing their youthful faces, seeing their pure eyes, Samuel feels... a strong sense of redemption..."

"If not for the chance encounter that led me to know them."

"Perhaps now, Samuel would have already fallen as those demons wearing human skin that are trapped in desires for money, flesh, and power..."

Lynn said nothing, quietly listening to Samuel’s words.

At this point.

Samuel’s expression changed slightly, he apologized and spoke with regret.

"I’m sorry, Lord, I spoke out of turn, I hope for your understanding."

"But Samuel still requests, Lord, to take in these children."

Lynn asked, "Aren’t you afraid I will use them like cattle for labor within the territory?"

"Furthermore, isn’t the Church more suitable for sheltering these children than my territory?"

Samuel smiled slightly and explained.

"Lord... although what Samuel is about to say may not align with his identity."

"But Samuel still chooses to tell the truth."

Lynn nodded slightly, waiting for Samuel’s continued words.

Samuel glanced at the four Church Guards standing not far away and continued.

"Lord Lynn, the Church... is rotten!"

"With rot spreading from the Church Headquarters and Holy Temple Knight Corps; to every city’s Church Bishop and clergy."

"Completely rotten!"

"The Church is no longer the place that provided spiritual sanctuary for the believers, the holy haven it once was."

"Instead, it has become a tool for all clergy to acquire wealth, occupy land, and fulfill desires!"

Samuel’s words were firm and powerful.

"Compared to the Church, Samuel believes your territory is the real Eden!"

"The residents in your territory live and work joyously, striving tirelessly for better living conditions."

"As a Lord, you also are making every effort to provide better living conditions and environments for your territory’s residents."

"The newly constructed Red Brick Houses, the fresh linen robe and pants they wear, and the dining hall sufficient for thousands to eat at the same time..."

"Are the best evidence!"

"Certainly!"

"As a Lord, you do this to maintain your ruling rights."

"But if everyone could eat their fill, live in shelter that keeps out the wind and rain, wear warm clothes without constantly worrying about the safety of their lives..."

"Then even under such a Lord’s rule, all residents would delight in it!"

Samuel’s words continued.

"Moreover, with the fall of Viscount Jon Zack, Kakasong City, originally chaotic, now finds itself in a power struggle."

"The order in Kakasong City is on the verge of collapse..."

"Your territory is going to be the safest territory around Kakasong City!"

Lynn stared directly at Samuel and said in a grave tone.

"I can let them stay in the territory."

"Let them live in Red Brick Houses, eat food with meat and bread, wear warm clothes..."

"Receive education from scholars in the territory’s school, get treatment from doctors at the territory’s hospital when sick..."

"Even have instructors teach them systematic military training!"

Listening to Lord Lynn’s narrative, Samuel’s eyes widened.

It’s one thing for Lord Lynn to supply housing and food to his territory’s residents.

But he even constructed schools and hospitals!

Such treatment.

Is only something the bloodlines of Free Nobility and wealthy merchants are entitled to.

Lord Lynn allows all the children in his territory to enjoy such treatment!

Simply... simply unbelievable!

In the next moment.

Samuel realized.

The rise of Lord Lynn before his eyes wasn’t just a chance occurrence!

Lynn’s words transitioned, continuing.

"But Captain Samuel, what kind of benefit do I receive from this?"

"The Fifteen Gold Pounds I give you monthly are meant as payment for Captain Samuel’s gathering and reporting of intelligence for me."
