System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 819: Chapter 262: Extraordinary Temple Knight (10K) (6)

"Lord Lynn only needs to pay one-tenth of the tithing, that’s all!"

At this point.

Simo summarized: "Above are the rights the Kakasong District Church and I can grant you after you pay the tithing, Lord Lynn."

Lynn shook his head, "Just these, it’s not enough, Bishop Simo."

Simo immediately frowned, "Not enough?"

"Lord Lynn, you are only paying the tithing."

"What other conditions do you want?"

Lynn looked directly at Simo across from him, calmly said: "Bishop Simo, you seem to have forgotten again."

"The tithing you speak of, I can either pay it or not!"

Simo fell silent immediately.

A few seconds later.

Only then did Simo ask: "Lord Lynn, what kind of rights do you want to have?"

Until then.

Simo suddenly realized that the status between him and Lynn had changed.

He was the Church Bishop, but Lynn was the lord.

The person who should be bowing down should be Lynn!

However, after a round of negotiations and facing reality.

His status and position were already below Lynn!

He needed to humbly inquire what Lynn’s demands for paying tithing were.

Leaning back on the wooden chair, Lynn leaned forward.

He stared directly at Simo and got straight to the point: "I need the district church to acknowledge that the entire ownership of Morgan Town belongs to me!"

Ownership of Morgan Town!

This was the key reason why Lynn knew Simo came to Morgan Town and immediately had Earl lead him to the territory!

Now, he had become the strongest and also the only lord of Morgan Town.

He couldn’t go to Marquis Ducas’s Castle in Bordeaux City.

To apply for corresponding legal documents to confirm and obtain ownership of Morgan Town!

However.

He could obtain recognition through official declarations and religious ceremonies by the district church bishop Simo present.

Until then.

The whole of Morgan Town could be considered his territory!

Listening to Lynn’s words, Simo frowned tightly, seemingly pondering something.

A moment later.

Simo spoke to Lynn: "Lord Lynn, regarding the acknowledgment of Morgan Town’s ownership, it’s a serious matter."

"I need to return to Kasong City for discussions before I can give you a definite answer."

Lynn nodded indifferently, "Of course, Bishop Simo, I can wait for your answer."

"As long as you can agree to my final request, I can pay the tithing at any time for salt mine extraction and fine salt selling!"

Even with his current efficiency in producing fine salt.

120,000 pounds monthly.

One-tenth is only 12,000 pounds.

According to the current market price of fine salt.

Nearly nine pence per pound, that translates to 108,000 pence.

Which is 450 gold pounds.

That’s all!

For him, currently holding three major industries.

It’s practically nothing!

Aside from this.

Purely based on the glazed glass products that Grayson wants to exchange.

Calculated at two gold pounds each for purchase, buying 500 pieces of glazed products at once.

That’s a pure income of one thousand gold pounds!

Regarding the manpower, resources, and time needed to produce glazed glass products...

Do not count as cost!

Two gold pounds selling price is almost pure profit!

Apart from glazed glass products, he can also sell gin to Hunter, fine salt to Boer, and so on.

During the conversation.

Lynn’s gaze shifted to Red.

Red, understanding Lynn, poured gin for both Lynn and Simo across.

Lynn reached out to pick up the glass in front of him and spoke to Simo.

"Then I’ll wait for the good news from Bishop Simo in my territory?"

Simo remained silent.

Just picked up the glass on the table, gestured across space, and gulped it down.

After swallowing the gin, Simo slowly rose from the wooden chair.

"Lord Lynn, then I shall take my leave first."

"After discussions with church staff, I will notify you at the first instance."

Lynn stood up and responded.

"Then I won’t see you off far."

Simo didn’t waste words, turned around, and headed towards the tavern door.

As he stepped out, weakness crept up his legs, causing his body to tumble towards the ground.

Samuel, who had been standing behind Simo, quickly opened his arms to support him.

Samuel nodded apologetically to Lynn and helped Simo out of the tavern.

Despite both he and Simo drinking almost three bottles of Lexus Gin.

His strong constitution left him without a hint of intoxication.

Instead, he felt fiery and comfortable throughout.

Lynn took steps, walked out of the tavern, and followed a distance behind Simo and Samuel.

A thought crossed his mind as he glanced again at Samuel’s attribute panel.

[Name]: Samuel Drake

[Age]: 30 years

[Abilities]: Hunting Level 3, Planting Level 2, Construction Level 2

[Seven Skills of the Knight]: Riding Level 3, Hunting Level 3, Swordsmanship Level 3

[Attributes]: Attack D, Defense E, Speed E, Constitution D, Energy E

[Talent]: Guardian’s Blessing — enhances defense ability, reduces physical and magical damage

[Skills]: Glory Barrier — raises personal defense level, reduces damage received

...

Looking at Samuel’s [Talent] and [Skills] panel.

Lynn was somewhat surprised in his heart.

This seemingly ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

Turned out to be a Temple Knight with extraordinary powers!

His mind contemplated slightly.

But ultimately he abandoned the idea of duplication.

Samuel’s talents and skills were similar to Joao Frank’s [Guard] and [Block].

Who is stronger he couldn’t judge temporarily.

However.

Spending a Talent Duplication Book and a Skill Duplication Book to duplicate similar talents and skills.

Lynn deemed it unnecessary.

He wasn’t that eager to boost his own strength.

He could still wait.

Lynn took steps, walking all the way to Lord’s Square.

Eyes watching ahead, Simo had already got into the carriage.

Under Samuel’s leadership, a group of church guards mounted their warhorses.

In the sounds of hoofbeats and the rolling sound of the carriage wheels.

The carriage and horse team gradually moved away.

Until disappearing from Lynn’s sight, only then did he retract his gaze.

He glanced at the time, then walked toward the currently expanding breeding farm.

While accelerating the construction speed of the [Mutated Wild Boar Farm].

Increase the upgrade speed of the [Construction] skill.

Regarding whether Simo, who just left, would agree to his request to acknowledge Morgan Town belonging to him...

He wasn’t anxious.

After all, there were still plenty of weedy barren lands in his territory that need cultivation.

If it really doesn’t work.

To ensure safety, even letting Morgan Town’s farmland lie fallow for several planting cycles wouldn’t matter.
