System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 885 - 273: Celebrities of Kakasong City (10,000)

"As long as we can finish forging a thousand sets of composite armor plates, all of us can finally take a well-deserved break!"

"So, for the sake of this rest, everyone must give it their all."

Lynn's pronouncement had barely left his lips.

A resounding cheer erupted from the assembled blacksmith apprentices.

"Long live the Lord!"

"The Lord is invincible!"

"..."

The thunderous applause behind him registered with Lynn, causing his brow to arch slightly.

Without looking back, he proceeded towards the adjacent textile workshop.

Following a thorough inspection of the workshop's operations, Lynn gained a clear understanding of the progress being made on the armor.

It was only then that he departed from the Handicraft Workshop District.

The textile workshop's involvement required them to await the completion of the armor plates by the Blacksmith Workshop, after which the plates would be transported for the subsequent crafting stages.

It was naturally impossible for their situation to mirror that of the Blacksmith Workshop.

Once the armor plates and their accompanying weaponry were finalized, their work would conclude, allowing for rest.

However, the textile workshop was obligated to continue the production of composite armor.

Following that, they were also tasked with manufacturing linen robes and even linen shoes!

The current month was July, with a palpable heat blanketing the air.

Compared to donning robes and trousers, the townsfolk found it more comfortable to work clad only in shorts, with their chests bare.

With autumn's arrival in September, signaling a gradual cooling of the weather, only two months remained.

The textile workshop was currently well-staffed with abundant labor.

Even if hundreds of workers were reassigned to various tasks, the process would still demand considerable time!

The harvested flax underwent a series of meticulous steps: retting, drying, breaking, scutching, and finally, spinning.

This entire sequence necessitated a lengthy preparation period.

Even flax cloth acquired from merchants required diverse processing before it could be transformed into complete garments.

His gaze swept across the tranquil Lord's Square and the distant Lime Road situated beyond the town's limits.

After confirming the absence of any traveling merchant caravans,

Lynn re-entered the canteen's kitchen, dedicating himself to further accumulating experience points for his Cooking skill.

*Thud, thud, thud~*

Shortly thereafter.

The rhythmic sound of a bone-cutting knife striking bone permeated the kitchen continuously.

...

As dusk settled.

Lynn, having spent the entire day honing his experience, returned to the castle accompanied by Red.

Noticing that dinner had already been prepared and was awaiting their arrival, Kuisi stepped forward to greet them.

Lynn made his way towards the dining table.

Upon seeing Lynn and Red, Kuisi promptly approached to welcome them.

Following closely behind her was a maid, carrying a basin for washing.

Kuisi offered a warm smile, "My Lord, dinner is served."

"Please wash up, and then you may begin your meal."

"Furthermore, as I passed by the canteen and observed you working in the kitchen, I took the liberty of preparing hot water for you."

"The sheets and bedding in your chambers have also been replaced with entirely new ones."

At her words, Lynn's gaze instinctively shifted towards Janet, who stood nearby.

Janet promptly lowered her head, avoiding Lynn's direct gaze.

With an approving nod, Lynn commented, "Excellent arrangements were made."

After partaking in dinner, attended by Kuisi's service,

Lynn rested briefly in his primary seat before rising and proceeding to his private quarters.

As he passed by Janet, who remained standing at attention, he spoke in a calm tone.

"Enter the private room in ten minutes for a massage!"

Janet's eyes widened instantly, her expression revealing palpable tension.

Despite her apprehension, Lynn's figure had already begun to recede into the distance.

Clearly leaving her no opportunity to negotiate.

She harbored the suspicion that this was Lynn's deliberate act of retaliation!

Three nights prior.

Lynn had instructed her to attend to Kari, who was inebriated, ensuring she was cleaned up and escorted to his room!

Janet could only respond with a soft, "Yes, my Lord..."

Time passed slowly.

Standing outside the private room door, after a ten-minute wait, Janet extended her right hand to knock on the solid wooden doors.

Just as she was about to softly inquire, a deep voice emanated from behind the door, belonging to Lynn.

"Enter."

Hearing this, Janet drew a sharp breath of cool air, reached out, and slowly pushed open the wooden door.

The moment she created a slight gap, a wave of warm steam enveloped her cheek.

This caused her already somewhat flushed face to become even more hot and rosy.

Janet did not hesitate, stepping into the private room while simultaneously closing the door behind her.

Her eyes surveyed the dimly illuminated private room.

And the large bathtub positioned in the center of the room, where Lynn was currently immersed in the hot water.

Janet quickly took several deep breaths.

Attempting to soothe her agitated heart and quell her rapid pulse.

However, after several attempts, Janet found no relief.

And.

As she drew nearer to Lynn, the robust and muscular contours of his physique became increasingly distinct.

Her breathing grew heavier, and her heart rate accelerated almost uncontrollably.

Traversing the level floor, she arrived at the edge of the bathtub.

Casting a glance at Lynn's body, submerged in the swirling hot water.

The barely discernible silhouette caused Janet to swiftly avert her gaze.

Her rosy, smooth lips parted slightly as she began to speak.

"My Lord, shall I commence your massage?"

A linen cloth covered his eyes as Lynn casually gave his reply to Lynn.

Janet remained quiet after receiving Lynn's instructions.

She submerged her hands in a wooden bucket filled with hot water until they felt warm.

Spreading her hands, she slowly moved them towards Lynn's head.

"My Lord, I shall begin your massage now."

Following Lynn's earlier demonstration, Janet's long fingers started to knead Lynn's head, gradually moving downward.

Massaging his temples, cheeks, neck, and then his shoulders.

After completing the shoulder massage.

Janet no longer required any direction from Lynn.

Habitually, she approached the bathtub, slowly unfastening her linen robe and setting it aside.

Extending her graceful, slender right leg, she stepped into the bathtub with Lynn.

With her first step, Janet, feeling quite bashful, turned to look at Lynn.

She noticed that Lynn's eyes were still covered by the linen cloth.

Still.

Her heart pounded with nervousness.

Janet lifted her left leg, entered the tub, and crouched down, immersing herself in the warm water.

Seeing Lynn's continued silence, Janet felt a measure of relief.

She reached out, gently took Lynn's right arm, and began to massage it.

After massaging both of Lynn's arms.

Janet touched her face, unsure if it was sweat or the steam from the water causing her skin to feel damp.

She proceeded to massage Lynn's legs.

Moving from his calves to his thighs.

Observing the subtle changes in Lynn's physique, Janet's eyes widened in surprise.

Before she could even react, Lynn's arms encircled her waist.

In the following instant, an immense power surged.

The crouching figure in the water was pulled firmly into his strong embrace.
