...

Looking at Red's 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 others' talents.

As simple as the introduction of the skill duplication book.

However, gradually, those seven words made Lynn's heart start to beat faster.

The skill duplication book had already made Lynn feel its power.

Now there's a talent duplication book!

That means, if there are no restrictions, he could copy anyone's talent?

If so, that would be excessively powerful!

The first thought in Lynn's mind is Earl's 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 Sienna's [Dark Energy Absorption], Old John's [Instruct], and Yaya's [Charm].

He wasn't interested.

Satisfied, Lynn nodded, and with a thought, used it directly.

[Would you like to consume a talent duplication book and learn Earl Mendes's 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 Lynn's 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 Lynn's 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, Rose's deputy!

As a deputy, he didn't 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 didn't hesitate at all and said, "Master, Jeremy... is dead!"

Lynn immediately frowned.

Earl continued his words.

"It's 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?"

Earl's 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?"

Earl's words carried anger, "And they were executed and fed to the Greyhound they raised in his manor!"

"Only Jeremy's fate remains unknown..."

Crunch!

When the words were finished, Earl's large hands clenched tightly, making a crunching sound.

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke to Earl, "I understand; you can return to the walls."

Earl raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, "Master, aren't you... aren't you planning to do something?"

"Aiden... Aiden killed our five soldiers!"

Lynn's eyes met Earl's, his words calm, "I don't 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 Earl's silhouette gradually fade away.

Lynn's 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 wouldn't be any cases of nighttime infiltration or escape.

The merchants trading in the territory couldn't 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 Lynn's mind.

Why did Aiden capture the spies he sent out?

Want to learn about his territory's armed forces?

Or is there a secret in this territory they want to investigate?

No one could answer him.

According to Lynn's 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.
