"One day, if I ever need Master Lynn’s help, please do your utmost to assist !"
Lynn said nothing.
Kari naturally understood the aning of Master Lynn’s silence.
"If soday, soone from the Brown Clan cos to capture , please intervene, Master Lynn."
"I don’t want to beco a tool for the Brown Clan used for exchange or marriage!"
"Otherwise, I’d rather die!"
As she spoke these words, Kari’s hands were tightly clenched.
The joints of her fists turned pale and blue.
Lynn responded, "Miss Kari, I can promise you that."
"In my capacity, I will protect you to the best of my ability!"
Upon hearing this, Kari’s eyes, full of gratitude, extended her right hand.
"Thank you, Master Lynn."
Even if both sides agreed to cooperate, they would be re partners.
Let alone partners, many blood brothers cannot give their all.
Even though Lynn didn’t make an absolute promise, his assurance within his ability was enough.
Looking at Kari’s slender and fair palm in front of him, Lynn slightly raised his brow.
Without much hesitation, he reached out his right hand and gently shook hers.
A cool and soft sensation appeared in Lynn’s hand.
And in Kari’s perception.
Lynn’s right hand was surprisingly broad and strong, hot and warm, like a campfire.
Kari even felt the rough calluses on Lynn’s palm!
They were not like the hands of a pampered lord at all.
More like the hands of a free person who labors daily!
But thinking that all this in front of her was built by Lynn, brick by brick, bit by bit.
Her heart was filled with relief, more so admiration for Lynn.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Lynn has the chance to beco a Great Lord or Emperor of the Empire?
Lynn held Kari’s right hand for no more than two seconds before slowly releasing it.
He picked up the gin Kuisi had poured on the table, addressing Kari, "Shall we toast to a pleasant cooperation?"
Kari also raised her glass and clinked it with Lynn’s.
"To a pleasant cooperation, Master Lynn."
With a crisp sound, both of them drained their glasses of gin completely.
Amidst the conversation between Lynn and Kari, George, responsible for unloading and loading cargo, arrived at the castle.
Passing through the reception hall, he stood not far from Lynn.
He said, "Master, all the fine salt has been loaded onto Lady Kari’s carriage."
Lynn nodded, his gaze falling on Kari.
Before Lynn could speak, Kari stood up first and said, "Master Lynn, let’s leave it at this for now?"
Lynn also stood up, "Certainly, Miss Kari."
The two walked side by side out of the castle, through a row of red brick houses, arriving at Lord’s Square.
Under Lynn’s watchful gaze, Kari swiftly mounted her horse.
After saying goodbye, she led the carriage team toward the distant mountain pass.
No one noticed that at this mont, Lynn’s gaze held a hint of a different light.
Of course, his ambition would not just be to stay confined in one corner!
This Southern Border territory was just his point of origin for developnt.
Relying on this remote but exceedingly safe land, he would plant crops, build an army, and develop technology...
What he had, the "Heavenly Artifacts," was a lever.
With it, he planned to lever the entire Karedi Empire, and even the entire Garonia Continent!
Regaining his focus.
Lynn glanced up at the sky, realizing it was still early.
He stepped forward, continuing to the logging workshop.
Preparing to sweat and grind "Collection" skill experience.
...
anwhile, on the other side.
A carriage, escorted by six or seven soldiers clad in leather armor, drove down a cobblestone road.
Under the guidance of two horses, the wooden wheels rolled over the stones, producing a continual clattering sound.
But this didn’t affect the speed of the carriage at all.
Until several minutes later.
Ahead, a three-story manor residence ca into view of everyone.
The soldiers began to slow down the horses they rode on, and the coachman also reduced the frequency of his whip.
The speed of the carriage team gradually decreased.
Finally, the carriage team halted in front of the three-story manor residence.
As the coachman opened the door and laid down a wooden staircase, Will stepped down with his right leg from the carriage.
His gaze turned towards the entrance of the manor, where two figures were already waiting.
Will, with a steady expression, walked forward.
As the lord of the manor, Banaby wore a smile, speaking to Will, "I thought Lord Will would not co over."
Standing at the side, the plump Theodore also wore a smile.
Will returned the smile, "Receiving an invitation from Lord Banaby is an honor for Will."
Hearing Will’s flattery, Banaby felt a wave of comfort in his heart.
He quickly turned to Theodore, saying, "See, Theodore, was I right?"
"No reasonable person would want to be involved with Janet!"
"A woman, wanting to partake in the managent of Morgan Town? And putting on an air of being the lord of Morgan Town?"
"What does she amount to? Does she really think the Three Great Estates don’t exist?"
"Don’t you agree, Theodore?"
Theodore slightly grinned, revealing a cunning smile as a response.
