Are you here to inspect the progress of the plate armor production?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ehrelo finished speaking, his downward gaze happened to land on Flint beside Lynn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo’s eyes widened instantly, exclaiming in surprise, \"Is this a dwarf?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn, curious, looked at Ehrelo and said, \"Have you seen a dwarf like Flint before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo’s gaze lingered on Flint for a long time, and he explained, \"Master, you’ve misunderstood, I’ve never seen one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve only heard my father say that the dwarves’ forging techniques are the best in the world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the forging talent that dwarves possess is something humans can never match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Ehrelo’s praise, Flint’s face was full of satisfaction, \"A very perceptive young fellow...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo sighed a little, \"I thought it was just a legend, but it turns out dwarves really exist...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed Ehrelo thought of something, and he asked a bit confused, \"Master, are you planning to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded and said, \"From now on, he will be responsible for teaching all of you the forging techniques!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For any difficulties in forging, you can ask Flint.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lynn’s words, Ehrelo had no doubts. His voice even carried a hint of delight, \"Yes, Master Lynn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since joining Master Lynn’s domain, he began a life of continuous forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the initial iron farming tools, to the wheel plow, progressing to various weapons, and now to standard plate armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite beginning alone and now overseeing four hundred people across four blacksmith workshops, he never relaxed for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that there is a powerful, skillful dwarf blacksmith master here who can take on his heavy responsibilities,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how could he not be delighted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard the next words from Lynn, his face immediately froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will remain the foreman of the four blacksmith workshops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo was left with hollow joy in his heart, \"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Flint and Ehrelo in front of him, Lynn said, \"The future tasks for the blacksmith workshops are straightforward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ehrelo, continue leading these blacksmith apprentices to cast and produce standard plate armor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still nine hundred sets, not a single one less!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo’s face turned solemn, \"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn then turned his gaze to Flint, \"I will transfer two hundred people from elsewhere and allocate a separate blacksmith workshop for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need you to lead them to quickly produce three hundred sets of high-quality armor, weapons, and vests!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Lynn’s words, Flint nodded, speaking calmly, \"No problem, Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were Flint leading a group of knowledgeable blacksmiths, with a few months, producing three hundred sets of high-quality armor, weapons, and vests might not be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lynn could not provide Flint with mature forging technique blacksmiths, only two hundred apprentices!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet these three hundred sets of armor, Lynn did not need them immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he not only needs high-quality armor but also strong soldiers to wear them, and top-grade warhorses that can bear the armor and vests!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are things Lynn currently lacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tasked Ehrelo to accompany Flint in getting familiar with the blacksmith workshop environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping away from the blacksmith workshop, Lynn pondered where to allocate two hundred physically appropriate men to join Flint’s blacksmith workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn ultimately decided to draw two hundred people from the team building the red brick houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current construction worker team has over a thousand members, and now there aren’t as many houses to build as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extracting two hundred people would not be much of an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By lunchtime, Lynn had gathered the two hundred townsmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning they were to head to the blacksmith workshop to learn forging techniques, and would receive an additional penny in daily wages,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their faces lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they understood that the blacksmith shop work was strenuous, enduring high temperatures and sweating heavily,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which work in the territory isn’t tiring?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the blacksmith workshop would provide additional pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With pennies, they could purchase or exchange for what they needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having the guards lead the townsmen to the blacksmith workshop, Lynn felt a slight relief inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flint’s forging ability is indeed remarkable, an indisputable fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it requires sufficient manpower and resources to fully utilize Flint’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrival of Enchanting Demon Ya’Er and Dwarf Flint was a small episode in the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it still couldn’t change the essence of the territory’s need for continued development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn walked towards the distant main castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to continue grinding [Construction] skill experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Construction: Level 2 (103\u002F500)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the outskirts of the main castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearing a hundred construction workers who were building the kitchen and warehouse, upon seeing Lynn, bent down and respectfully called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Lynn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn nodded, walked to a red brick wall that was under construction, held a brick with his left hand, took up a plastering knife with his right, and began to lay the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Construction Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Construction Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Construction Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The construction workers nearby, seeing Master Lynn’s actions, maintained a calm look on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many times, they were long used to it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright sky gradually darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn also finished a day’s bricklaying work and returned to the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The townsmen returning from labor, as usual, walked on the lime road under the setting sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the red brick house, despite the empty room, there was already a tub of steaming hot water waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the tub were neatly placed freshly washed clean clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the dining table next to it, a cooked dinner was laid out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn glanced at it with satisfaction, undressed, and got into the hot tub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong sense of comfort enveloped Lynn entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moist and hot, Lynn almost couldn’t help but let out a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the linen cloth beside him, soaked it, wrung it dry, and placed it over his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm sensation spreading on his eyelids became even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this cool pre-winter, a soak was an immense pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a knock and a respectful greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Kuisi’s voice, Lynn, lying in the tub, didn’t lift his head and said, \"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lynn’s words fell, the slightly ajar wooden door was gently pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuisi stepped in, just as she was about to enter the red brick house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lynn lying in the tub, Kuisi’s face instantly flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly said, \"Master, you soak first, I’ll wait outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn’s voice sounded, \"Come in and give my shoulders a rub, I’ve been a bit tired lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Lynn’s words, Kuisi’s eyes shifted rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she replied, \"Yes, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuisi stepped in somewhat hesitantly, closing the wooden door behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming to the side of the tub, Kuisi first dipped her hands in the hot water to warm them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After warming her hands, Kuisi began to massage Lynn’s shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength was balanced and firm, causing Lynn to take a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kuisi, your technique is getting better!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuisi’s somewhat nervous voice sounded in Lynn’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, after a few times, you get the hang of it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn didn’t say more, just acknowledged with a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a spacious wooden house, four figures sat around the hearth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames from the hearth danced on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ke turned his gaze towards Anthony opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a low voice, he said, \"My people have been in for a while without a shred of information coming out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If nothing unexpected happens, they’ve already encountered an unexpected turn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1374,"2026-05-29T04:50:48.604Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","e63ec2446a8840e5924b11294f527a4e6e3437da5fbf79c5dfe8140f0b3dde82","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-258","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-256",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
