System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 860 - 269: The Emperor of the Empire Dies Suddenly (10,000)_5

Yet he hadn't managed to lay a hand on the black shadow woman.

The seductive black shadow woman, boasting alluring curves and a waist slim enough to encircle with one arm.

She dissolved like rising steam, breaking into faint strands that faded into the atmosphere.

Carolyn longed to extend his hand and yank the dagger from his chest to ease the torment.

But.

His right hand hadn't even risen when he sensed his entire vigor swiftly ebbing away, leaving him powerless to twitch a muscle.

Not just that.

Carolyn noticed the scene before him growing fuzzier by the second.

The lavish ceiling adorned with intricate gold leaf patterns.

The silken bed drapes meticulously threaded.

The glow from candles and oil lamps...

And the face of a man rushing closer.

Even as shadows encroached on his sight, voices still rang clear by his ears.

"Father? How is this possible?"

"Someone! Fetch someone, fast!"

A furious shout laced with weeping.

The clamor of armored Imperial Guards dashing in...

The noises around Carolyn's ears grew fainter and hazier.

Until finally.

All sounds vanished from his hearing, while the searing agony in his body slowly receded.

…

Four days flew by in an instant.

From outside the Wild Boar Farm, Lynn observed Flint setting up a compact empowerment magic circle within the enclosure.

Maybe due to his newfound superhuman power.

Though ignorant of magical lore, he perceived the magical energy surging through the farm.

The magic from the ore seemed desperate to burst its bonds.

But the tiny magic array forced it to follow a set route.

Lynn saw that no matter how hard he tried to recall the essentials of magic array setup.

It clashed with his instincts, slipping from his memory entirely.

This world indeed held wondrous entities and mystical powers.

Yet his thoughts brimmed with materialistic scientific principles!

Ultimately, Lynn decided to abandon the attempt.

When afternoon arrived.

As the magic flow in the final Mutated Wild Boar Farm settled steadily.

After days of labor inside the farm, Flint at last wrapped up his task.

Flint brushed the dust from his palms and strode toward Lynn, chest puffed with pride.

Like a child awaiting praise, he declared, "Lord, I vowed the farm would be ready in four days."

"I completed it ahead of schedule!"

With arms folded smugly, Flint drew Lynn's lavish acclaim: "Naturally, Master Flint shines as a prodigy of the Fireplace Race!"

"Others might require five or six days!"

Flint savored the praise, eyes half-shut, affirming, "You're spot on!"

"If not for that time I overindulged and wrecked the Rune Furnace..."

Suddenly, Flint's eyes bulged, darting glances everywhere.

He noted only Lynn and Red were present.

Easing up, Flint hastily told Lynn, "Lord, what I just..."

Lynn arched a brow, cutting Flint off.

"Master Flint, did you mean you'd like three hundred pounds of gin sent to your home or the blacksmith shop?"

At Lynn's remark.

Flint froze briefly.

Then he collected himself and blurted out.

"Lord, send it to my home!"

Lynn nodded: "I'll notify Lex via messenger upon returning to town for delivery."

Flint nodded approvingly: "Much appreciated, Lord."

Lynn noted, "The five Mutated Wild Boar Farms stand finished."

"Still, construction presses on."

"Soldiers haul fresh wild boars here every few days, as you've witnessed."

"Twenty builders will stay to keep erecting structures."

"Once done, you'll install those small empowerment magic circles!"

Lynn added, "The Pigeon Nest and Wolf’s Den start soon too, needing magic circles as well."

Flint shrugged casually: "No issue, Lord—mere child's play for me."

Having covered all future tasks with Flint.

Lynn dismissed him at last.

He proceeded to the neighboring ranch.

Guy there geared up to guide workers in tending the animals.

Spotting Lynn, Guy hurried over in salute.

Bowing politely before Lynn, Guy said deferentially.

"Master."

Lynn nodded and inquired, "Beyond the thirty breeding wild boars in the farm."

"What's the total wild boar count at the ranch?"

Guy thought for a moment before answering.

"Master, we have one hundred eighty-two wild boars in total right now."

"Merchant Alan transported one hundred and fifty adult wild boars as part of this."

"Of the remaining thirty-two, eighteen are adult boars and fourteen are piglets."

Lynn nodded, "Herd all the adult male boars to the newly constructed wild boar farm for empowerment breeding."

"Use the female boars for later breeding to increase production."

"For the piglets, ramp up their food intake to make them grow fast."
