...

Looking at Earl's full-body photo and the information panel, Lynn's eyebrows slightly raised.

The sixteen-year-old Earl did not have a tall build, about one meter sixty-seven or so.

Yet he possesses a burly frame not inferior to Rose, and those eyes are full of bright light!

Moreover, his talent is somewhat interesting, actually using life energy as a cost to enhance all attributes by 100%.

With such a skill, perhaps he can play an unexpected role when facing a desperate situation!

Now Earl is only sixteen years old, maybe he can be specially trained by Rose.

Closing the panel, Lynn spoke: "Let the guard notify him, return to the dining hall before dinner tomorrow, I will conduct an award ceremony for him."

Kuisi was a bit surprised, but she had no doubts, answered: "Alright, master."

The matters needing to be explained were finished, Lynn, Kuisi, and Red entered into a quiet meal.

Half an hour later.

After finishing the meal, Lynn sat once more in the armchair beside the fireplace.

As he was planning the future development of the territory in his mind, a sound of footsteps came from the distant red brick steps.

Lynn and Red turned to look, only to see a guard running over quickly, stopping five or six meters from the armchair.

The guard bowed and explained: "Master, Jeremy is waiting at the castle gate, saying there is important news to report."

Lynn's eyebrows slightly raised, "Let him come up."

The guard answered and hurriedly retreated, going to call him.

A few minutes later, the guard brought Jeremy to the second-floor hall, stood before Lynn.

Perhaps due to excessive cold, Jeremy's voice was trembling.

"Master… I have… intelligence to report."

Looking at Jeremy's shivering body, the clothes had bouts of dampness.

Lynn spoke: "Approach the fireplace and warm up, no rush."

Listening to Lynn's words, Jeremy felt slightly moved in his heart.

He almost rode a horse back to the territory overnight, because the road was slightly icy, the running horse fell twice!

Not to mention him riding on horseback.

Jeremy's speech still trembled, he walked to the fireplace, warming up his damp clothes.

After a few minutes, a burst of steam rose from his clothes, Jeremy's face was full of embarrassment.

Naturally, Lynn saw this scene, said nothing.

Jeremy continued warming his body and clothes by the fireplace, while speaking: "Master, Marquis Duca's army has arrived at Morgan Town."

"I inquired, they came to Morgan Town to suppress bandits."

Lynn's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, "What else did you hear?"

Jeremy slightly shifted his body and continued speaking, "The camp of Duca's army is built ten miles outside Morgan Town, the number of troops… is at least above three thousand."

Lynn responded, "Go on."

Jeremy recalled for a few seconds, "However, the commander who led the army to Morgan Town is not Marquis Duca."

"They said it was… Marquis Duca's brother, Lord Lawrence Duca."

Jeremy wasn't sure about Lynn's relationship with the Ducas Clan.

Addressing Lawrence as Lord would surely avoid any errors in title.

Lawrence Duca?

Lynn's mind contained some memories concerning Lawrence Duca.

Killing was his vice, yet he liked residing in brothels, the previous marquis's second son.

Lynn had heard of Lawrence's deeds, yet Lawrence did not know of his existence.

After all.

People like him, Donovan Duca naturally didn't want more exposure.

Especially when his mother is a textile workshop worker.

To Lynn, this was a good thing.

Lynn continued asking: "Anything else?"

Jeremy recalled: "After Lord Lawrence arrived in Morgan Town, Jonas Manor Lord along with several other manor lords, immediately arranged a banquet at the tavern to welcome him."

"However… I heard some tidbits of news…"

Lynn raised an eyebrow, "Tidbits of news?"

Jeremy nodded, he spoke hesitantly, "As soon as Lord Lawrence entered the tavern, he drove several manor lords out!"

"Moreover, he had Jonad Manor Lord find four or five voluptuous women."

"And they were those nearing thirty or forty years old…"

Lynn's face showed no change.

Regarding Lawrence's notorious deeds, he was more than clear.

Age twenty-two, average build, strong and robust, doesn't fancy young beauties, prefers married ones!

Seeing Lynn silent, Jeremy explained: "The intelligence I gathered, is mostly that."

Lynn responded, "Thanks for your effort."

Jeremy felt a wave of gratitude, "Master, your words are too kind, this is our duty."

Lynn nodded, turning his gaze to Kuisi, "Take Jeremy to the kitchen for a meal, then fetch out one Gold Pound for him."

Kuisi, waiting nearby, did not hesitate, "Yes, Master."

"After the meal, go and reunite with your family for a while, the departure time is up to you."

Hearing this, Jeremy felt even more grateful.

"Thank you, Master Lynn, you are a considerate and understanding lord!"

Looking at Jeremy's nearly 95%↑ loyalty, Lynn spoke: "If you gather more intelligence, I need you to send it back to the territory promptly."
