...
Looking at Redâs attribute panel, Lynn nodded to himself.
Indeed, it was as he had guessed.
The nine great skills of planting encompassed almost all industries.
The Seven Skills of the Knight include horsemanship, swimming, archery, swordsmanship, hunting, chess, and poetry reading.
It included combat skills, survival skills, social skills, and cultural skills.
With the [Seven Skills of the Knight] as a supplement to the [Resident Information Column].
Lynn could more directly see the abilities each townsman possessed.
He could assign them to suitable posts.
Closing the panel, Lynn looked at the [Talent Duplication Book].
[Talent Duplication Book]: Can copy othersâ talents.
As simple as the introduction of the skill duplication book.
However, gradually, those seven words made Lynnâs heart start to beat faster.
The skill duplication book had already made Lynn feel its power.
Now thereâs a talent duplication book!
That means, if there are no restrictions, he could copy anyoneâs talent?
If so, that would be excessively powerful!
The first thought in Lynnâs mind is Earlâs talent.
Life Burning - Upon entering rage mode, at the cost of burning life energy, increases all attributes by 100%
It seemed like burning ascension was the cost, yet it could increase all attributes by 100%!
Whether facing a crisis, needing a breakthrough, or fighting enemies to the death.
This talent made a lasting impression on Lynn and shocked him.
This is the talent Lynn most wants to duplicate at present!
As for the talents of the born witch Siennaâs [Dark Energy Absorption], Old Johnâs [Instruct], and Yayaâs [Charm].
He wasnât interested.
Satisfied, Lynn nodded, and with a thought, used it directly.
[Would you like to consume a talent duplication book and learn Earl Mendesâs Life Burning talent?]
Lynn silently thought, "Yes!"
[Learning successful]
Instantly, Lynn felt something different inside him...
That feeling... like magma was about to erupt from the volcano.
If, as with the previous rewards of the [Memory Pearl] [Skill Duplication Book], all skills upgraded to level 3 would reward a [Talent Duplication Book].
Would that mean, apart from the talent [Heavenly Artifacts], he would also have the nine great talents?
A bold idea surfaced in Lynnâs mind.
Now that he had the [Life Burning] talent, could there be a day when he could duplicate a lifespan-increasing talent from someone else?
If he could, that would be unimaginable.
Anticipation spread through Lynnâs mind.
Suppressing the emotions in his mind, Lynn comfortably exhaled a breath of hot air.
Just as they left the blacksmith workshop with Red, a soldier dressed in armor approached.
It was Earl, Roseâs deputy!
As a deputy, he didnât need to deliver messages each time unless the information was crucial.
Arriving before Lynn, Earl bowed and greeted him, his words slightly breathless.
Clearly, he had been riding his warhorse all the way from the town walls.
"Master."
Lynn responded, "What is it?"
Earl didnât hesitate at all and said, "Master, Jeremy... is dead!"
Lynn immediately frowned.
Earl continued his words.
"Itâs not just Jeremy; the entire unit of soldiers who infiltrated Morgan Town vanished without a trace."
"Rose sent another few spies, infiltrated Morgan Town again, and learned all of this."
Lynn nodded, "Did the second batch of spies uncover how Jeremy and his companions died?"
Earlâs chest heaved a little, and he spoke, "Master, they were captured by Aiden Morrison and brought back to his territory, and..."
Lynn asked, "And what?"
Earlâs words carried anger, "And they were executed and fed to the Greyhound they raised in his manor!"
"Only Jeremyâs fate remains unknown..."
Crunch!
When the words were finished, Earlâs large hands clenched tightly, making a crunching sound.
Lynnâs eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke to Earl, "I understand; you can return to the walls."
Earl raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, "Master, arenât you... arenât you planning to do something?"
"Aiden... Aiden killed our five soldiers!"
Lynnâs eyes met Earlâs, his words calm, "I donât like saying things twice."
Feeling the aura emanating from Lynn, Earl instantly returned to his senses from anger.
He hurriedly lowered his head, full of remorseful pleading, "Sorry, Master, I impulsively offended you; please forgive me."
Lynn looked at Earl, "Tell Rose to have his spies investigate why Aiden captured and killed them."
"I need an accurate answer!"
"Dismissed."
Seeing Lynn had no intention of punishing him with his words.
Earl offered no more useless talk, retreated a few steps, and returned to the street he had come from.
Watching Earlâs silhouette gradually fade away.
Lynnâs brow furrowed again, and his mind quickly began to ponder.
Only a few people knew Jeremy and his companions had infiltrated Morgan Town.
Yet what good is knowing?
Without his permission as Lord, they could never leave this territory.
Moreover.
With Rose stationed and training as a trainer, naturally, there wouldnât be any cases of nighttime infiltration or escape.
The merchants trading in the territory couldnât possibly recognize the ordinary, nondescript people.
Let alone expose all these spies.
The only possibility is... the spies themselves were caught by Aiden while being overly cautious!
Next moment.
Another question arose in Lynnâs mind.
Why did Aiden capture the spies he sent out?
Want to learn about his territoryâs armed forces?
Or is there a secret in this territory they want to investigate?
No one could answer him.
According to Lynnâs habit of calculating with the worst intention.
Captured spies, under severe torture, could naturally reveal everything they want to know!
The existence of this territory may have already been learned by several people in Morgan Town.
If they also discovered three mineral veins on this territory...
They could very likely face the united attack of several manor lords in Morgan Town!
Speeding up the construction of Weng City and the production of siege equipment is a must.
