System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 545 - 217: Assassination (10,000 Words)

As for the other salt factories, textile workshops, paper mills, schools, hospitals, and so on...

His territory, apart from the relatively short development time, cannot match Morgan Town, which has existed for an unknown number of years.

In other respects, it far exceeds Morgan Town!

Even so.

Except for population and the tax economy brought by the population.

And except for the armed forces not matching Kakasong City, other aspects are not even beneath a small city.

The labor force of the Free People in Morgan Town, and the peasant labor force in the hands of the four manor lords, are naturally what Lynn desires.

However, to conquer, one must have absolute assurance.

A sufficient armed force that can easily, even with minimal casualties, capture manors one after another.

And a chance to attack is needed!

Not to mention if the four manor lords are unaware of his territory’s location.

If they know and merely choose to ignore it, allowing him to develop, it would be ideal.

If he rashly sends troops, it will only provoke a united resistance from the four manor lords!

Even a counterattack.

That would be more loss than gain.

With everything he possesses now, at least in the short term, there is no need to consider external expansion and plundering!

Even when facing the impending battle for Imperial Authority.

What he should do more is to close the city and accelerate development!

While ensuring the development and construction of the territory, vigorously develop the existing science and technology!

Improve forging techniques to produce more solid and superior protective armor;

Weapons with greater sharpness that can cut through ordinary armor.

Arrows with longer shooting range, even capable of penetrating plate armor.

And so on.

At a critical moment, deliver a lethal blow to the enemy with a punch!

Suppressing the slightly eager inner heart, Lynn continued to immerse himself in fishing.

One by one, river fish were pulled out of the water by Lynn and placed into the fish creel.

The extra reward brought to Lynn was one hundred and fifty Energy Stones.

As the sky gradually darkened, Lynn then abandoned fishing and returned in the direction of the castle.

Back at the castle, after eating a dinner cooked by Kuisi.

Lynn sat in the armchair, holding a small stone mill, continuing to grind the Skill Level in [Medicine].

With a thought, Lynn opened the [Heavenly Artifacts] and glanced at it.

[Medicine: Level 2 (419/500)] (+)

The exploration of the forest for several days delayed the progress of the [Medicine] skill.

However.

In at most two to three days, it can be upgraded to Level 3.

Dusk descended once again, enveloping the entire Karedi Empire.

Like the transition from winter to spring, never influenced by anyone.

...

On the other side of the night.

A secluded corner of Kakasong City.

Inside a church with tightly closed doors.

A monk and a nun were cleaning the prayer hall of the church.

The monk gripped the broom tightly with both hands, sweeping the sparse dust on the wooden floor.

His gaze occasionally swept towards the nun in front of him.

The nun’s face was quite youthful, appearing to be around twenty years old.

Despite wearing a loose gray robe, as the nun bent to wipe the tabletop.

The rounded and prominent area behind her was clearly visible to the monk.

Especially when the nun faced the monk, wiping the table, revealing a glimpse of white cleavage swaying back and forth.

Perhaps sensing the monk’s pause, the nun looked up in confusion.

She followed the monk’s gaze to herself.

The nun asked in confusion, "Simone, is there anything wrong?"

Hearing the nun’s inquiry, Simone Frank quickly retracted his gaze.

His somewhat pale face showed an awkward expression as he hurriedly explained, "Jiwa... I wasn’t looking at anything..."

The nun known as Jiwa raised her eyebrows, as if thinking of something.

Setting down the linen cloth in her hands, Jiwa walked towards Simone.

Standing before Simone, Jiwa looked up, gazing at Simone, who was a head taller than her.

The query once again emanated from Jiwa’s lips.

"Simone, were you looking at my body?"

Hearing this, Simone, who had just made eye contact with Jiwa, immediately lowered his head.

He spoke with full apology, "I’m sorry, Jiwa."

"You are just too beautiful, and I couldn’t help but glance a few times..."

"Please forgive me, and I will also ask God to forgive my sins."

Upon hearing Simone’s words, there was no anger on Jiwa’s face.

Instead, a hint of joy appeared.

Jiwa suddenly stepped forward, spreading her arms and hugging Simone tightly.

"Simone, actually... I’ve been observing you as well..."

Originally filled with guilt, Simone felt the comforting softness from the front of his body.

His expression immediately became stiff.

Simone had expected censure and anger from Jiwa.

Yet he hadn’t anticipated...

The broom in Simone’s hand fell to the ground.

He lightly inhaled the faint fragrance emanating from Jiwa’s body in front of him.

Simone’s arms, originally hanging by his sides, gently began to move.

From a light sway to a lift after half a minute, embracing Jiwa’s waist.

Feeling Jiwa in front, not only was there no sensation but she tightened her embrace.

The softness in front became more pronounced and deformed.

Simone’s right hand, resting on Jiwa’s waist, unconsciously started to move.
